SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS DATED [•], 2023

Galleinphi Inc.

            Ordinary Shares

This is the initial public offering of            ordinary shares, par value $[•] per share, of Galleinphi Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability. The offering price of our ordinary shares in this offering will be between US$            and US$            per share. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our ordinary shares.

We plan to list our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “[•]”. Nasdaq might not approve such application, and if our application is not approved, we will not proceed with this offering.

Investors are cautioned that you are not buying shares of a China-based operating company but instead are buying shares of a holding company issuer that maintains contractual arrangements with the China-based operating company. The China-based operating company is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that conducts operations in China.

Unless otherwise stated, as used in this prospectus, the terms “Galle,” “Galle Cayman,” “we,” “us,” “our Company,” and the “Company” refer to Galleinphi Inc., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands; “PRC subsidiary,” “Galle WFOE” or “WFOE” refer to Jingdezhen Jiajing Kaiyue Technology Co., Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of the PRC and our indirect wholly owned subsidiary; the term “the VIE” refers to Galle China; the term the “VIE and its subsidiaries” refers to Galle China and its subsidiaries, Zhejiang Galle Manya Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd., or Manya Galle, Hangzhou Galle Yongya Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd., or Yongya Galle, Jingdezhen Galle Ningya Technology Co., Ltd., or Galle (Jingdezhen), Jiangxi Anjia Kaiyue Technology Co., Ltd., or Galle (Jiangxi), Hangzhou Galle Hengya Technology Co., Ltd., or Hengya Galle, Zhejiang Dejia Hongzhi Technology Co., Ltd, or DH Galle, and Hangzhou Galle Yingya Technology Co., Ltd., or Yingya Galle, entities organized under the laws of the PRC.

Galle Cayman is a holding company with no material operations of our own. The variable interest entity (VIE), Galle China, conduct operations in China. This is an offering of the ordinary shares of Galle Cayman. You are not investing in Galle China, the China-based operating company, but instead are buying shares of a holding company that maintains contractual arrangements with the Galle China. Neither we nor our subsidiaries own any share in, Galle China. In December 20, 2023, Galle WFOE, which is our PRC subsidiary, Galle China, and shareholders of Galle China entered into a series of contractual agreements (the “VIE Agreements”) that established the VIE structure. We have evaluated the guidance in FASB ASC 810 and determined that Galle WFOE is the primary beneficiary of Galle China and its subsidiaries for accounting purposes, because, pursuant to the VIE Agreements, the VIE shall pay service fees equal to all of its net income to Galle WFOE, while Galle WFOE has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that can significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and is obligated to absorb all of losses of the VIE. Such contractual arrangements are designed so that the operations of the VIE are solely for the benefit of Galle WFOE and, ultimately, us. Galle has indirect ownership in 100% of the equity in Galle WFOE. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, we treat the VIE and its subsidiaries as consolidated affiliated entities and have consolidated their financial results in our financial statements. Galle China and its subsidiaries are based in China and are likely to be engaged in value-added telecommunication services in the future. Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership in the value-added telecommunication services, we do not own any equity interest in the VIE. The VIE Agreements do not give us the same controlling power as if we had equity ownership in the VIE. As of the date of this prospectus, the VIE Agreements have not been tested in a court of law. The VIE structure involve unique risks to investors. For a detailed description of the VIE Agreements, see “Corporate Structure” on page 3. See also “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” starting on page 11.

Furthermore, shareholders may face difficulties enforcing their legal rights under United States securities laws against our directors and officers who are located outside of the United States. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulations in China with little advance notice could adversely affect us and limit the legal protections available to you and us.” on page 23 and “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. It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China.” on page 38.

 

Table of Contents

Additionally, we are subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with the VIE and its subsidiaries’ operations in China. PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain, and therefore, these risks may result in a material change in the VIE and its subsidiaries’ operations, significant depreciation of the value of our ordinary shares, or a complete hinderance of our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, 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. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor the VIE and its subsidiaries have been involved in any investigations or received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions regarding our planned overseas listing from the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the “CSRC,” or any other PRC governmental authorities. As confirmed by our PRC counsel, Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, we will not be subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China, or the “CAC,” pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022 because (1) we currently do not have over one million users’ personal information; (2) we do not collect data that affects or may affect national security and we do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information or data that affects or may affect national security in the foreseeable future, which we understand might otherwise subject us to the Cybersecurity Review Measures. Since these statements and regulatory actions are newly published, however, official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued. It is highly uncertain what potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the daily business operations of our subsidiaries, as well as the daily business operations of the VIE and its subsidiaries, our ability to accept foreign investments, and our listing on an U.S. exchange. The Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) or PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws, regulations, or implementing rules that require us, our subsidiaries, or the VIE and its subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities before listing in the U.S.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC published the Provisions on Strengthening the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Related to the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises (the “Provisions on Confidentiality and Archives Administration”), which came into effect on March 31, 2023. The Provisions on Confidentiality and Archives Administration requires that, in the process of overseas issuance and listing of securities by domestic entities, the domestic entities, and securities companies and securities service institutions that provide relevant securities service shall strictly implement the provisions of relevant laws and regulations and the requirements of these provisions, establish and improve rules on confidentiality and archives administration. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC also promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises (the “Trial Measures”), and Supporting Guidance Rules No. 1 through No. 5 (together with “Trial Measures” as the “New Overseas Listing Rules”), which became effective on March 31, 2023. On the same date, the CSRC circulated the Notes on the Trial Measures, Notice on Administration Arrangements for the Filing of Overseas Listings by Domestic Enterprises and relevant CSRC Answers to Reporter Questions (collectively, the “Notice”) on the CSRC’s official website. Under the New Overseas Listing Rules and Notice, domestic companies conducting overseas securities offering and listing activities, either in direct or indirect form, shall complete filing procedures with the CSRC pursuant to the requirements of the Trial Measures within three working days following its submission of initial public offerings or listing application. As advised by our PRC counsel, Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, as the VIE and its subsidiaries accounted for more than 50% of our consolidated revenues, profit, total assets or net assets for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2023, and the key components of our operations are carried out in the PRC, this offering is considered an indirect offering by domestic companies and we are therefore subject to the filing requirements for this offering under the Trial Measures and Guidance Rules and Notice. As advised by our PRC counsel, Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, this offering and our listing on Nasdaq are contingent on the completion of the filing procedures with the CSRC prior to our listing on Nasdaq. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not completed the filing procedures with the CSRC. If we cannot complete the filing with the CSRC in compliance with the Trial Measures prior to our listing on Nasdaq, Nasdaq may not approve our listing application and the CSRC may order rectification, issue warnings, and impose a fine between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million on the VIE and its subsidiaries, which could adversely and materially affect

our business operations and financial outlook, and significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our ordinary shares to investors and could cause the value of our ordinary shares to significantly decline or such shares to become worthless.

We have been closely monitoring regulatory developments in PRC regarding any necessary approvals from the CSRC or other PRC governmental authorities required for overseas listings, including this offering. As advised by our PRC counsel, Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, as of the date of this prospectus, although we are required to complete certain filing procedure in connection with our offering (including this offering and any subsequent offering) and listing under the Trial Measures, no relevant PRC laws or regulations in effect require that we obtain approval or permission from any PRC authorities to issue securities to foreign investors, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or any regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other PRC authorities that have jurisdiction over our operations. However, since these statements and regulatory actions are newly published, it is highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the daily business operations of our subsidiaries, our ability to accept foreign investments, and our listing on a U.S. exchange. If we do not receive or maintain such approval (should the approval is required in the future by the PRC government), or inadvertently conclude that such approval is not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change such that we are required to obtain approval in the future, we may be subject to an investigation by competent regulators, fines or penalties, or an order prohibiting us from conducting an offering, and these risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of our ordinary shares, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC” for more information.

Galle Cayman is permitted under the laws of Cayman Islands to provide funding to our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and PRC through loans or capital contributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds. Galle HK is also permitted under the laws of Hong Kong SAR to provide funding to Galle Cayman through dividend distribution without restrictions on the amount of the funds. Current PRC regulations permit Galle WFOE to pay dividends to the Company only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. As of the date of this prospectus, our Company, our subsidiaries, and the VIE have not distributed any earnings or settled any amounts owed under the VIE Agreements. Our Company, our subsidiaries, and the VIE do not have any plan to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed under the VIE Agreements in the foreseeable future. As of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries or VIE have made any dividends or distributions to our Company and our Company has not made any dividends or distributions to our shareholders. We intend to keep any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. If we determine to pay dividends on any of our ordinary shares in the future, as a holding company, we will depend on receipt of funds from our PRC subsidiary and from the VIE to our PRC subsidiary in accordance with the VIE Agreements. See “Prospectus Summary — Transfers of Cash to and from the VIE.”

The structure of cash flows within our organization, and as summary of the applicable regulations, is as follows:

1.      Our equity structure adopt both a direct holding structure and contractual structure. Galle Cayman, directly controls Galle WFOE, and Galle HK. Galle WFOE is the primary beneficiary of Galle China through a series of contractual agreements, under which Galle WFOE has the exclusive right to provide to Galle China consulting, technical or other services and their respective intellectual property rights in exchange for payments. See “Corporate Structure” on page 3 and “Contractual Arrangements with the VIE and Their Shareholders” on pages 3 and 6 respectively for additional details.

2.      Within our direct holding structure, the cross-border transfer of funds within our corporate group is legal and compliant with the laws and regulations of the PRC. After foreign investors’ funds enter Galle Cayman at the close of this offering, the funds can be directly transferred to Galle HK, and then transferred to the VIE and its subsidiaries through the Galle WFOE. Within our contractual structure, the transfer of funds between the Galle WFOE and the VIE are also legal and compliant with the laws and regulations of the PRC.

 

Table of Contents

If the Company intends to distribute dividends, the VIE will pay the service fees to Galle WFOE, which then will transfer the dividends to Galle HK in accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC, and then Galle HK will transfer the dividends to Galle Cayman, and the dividends will be distributed from Galle Cayman to all shareholders of Galle Cayman respectively in proportion to the shares they hold, regardless of whether the shareholders are U.S. investors or investors in other countries or regions.

3.      In the reporting periods presented in this prospectus, no cash and other asset transfers have occurred among the Company, its subsidiaries and the VIE; and no dividends or distributions of a VIE have been made to the Company to date between the holding company and its subsidiaries, or to its shareholders. For the foreseeable future, the Company intends to use the earnings for research and development, to develop new technology and to expand its operations. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends. Furthermore, besides the potential tax consequences mentioned below, although we do not anticipate any difficulties or limitations on our ability to transfer cash between Galle Cayman and Galle HK and Galle WFOE, or between the VIE and Galle WFOE in the future, we have not installed any cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred between the holding company, the subsidiaries and the VIE. To the extent cash in the business is in the PRC/Hong Kong or a PRC/Hong Kong entity, the funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC/Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of the holding company, our subsidiaries, or the consolidated VIE by the PRC government to transfer cash. See “Prospectus Summary — Transfers of Cash to and from the VIE and Subsidiaries” on page 7, “Summary of Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” on page 41, and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — We are a holding company and will rely on dividends paid by our subsidiaries and service fees paid by the VIE and its subsidiaries for our cash needs. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make dividend payments to us, any limitation on the ability of the VIE and its subsidiaries to pay the service fees to us, or any tax implications of making dividend payments to us, could limit our ability to pay our parent company expenses or pay dividends to holders of our ordinary shares.” on page 23.

4.      Our PRC operation entity’s ability to distribute dividends is based upon its distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit Galle WFOE, as well as the VIE and its 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, Galle WFOE and each of the VIE and its subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of each of their registered capitals. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. See “Summary of Financial Position and Cash Flows of Galleinphi Inc, Subsidiaries and the VIE” on page 9, the financial statement beginning on F-1, and “Regulations on Dividend Distributions” on page 104 for more information.

To address persistent capital outflows and the RMB’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar in the fourth quarter of 2016, the People’s Bank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, have implemented a series of capital control measures in the subsequent months, including stricter vetting procedures for China-based companies to remit foreign currency for overseas acquisitions, dividend payments and shareholder loan repayments. The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls and the VIE and its subsidiaries’ dividends and other distributions may be subject to tightened scrutiny in the future. The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any. Furthermore, if our operating entities in the PRC incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments.

Pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, is unable to inspect an issuer’s auditors for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are prohibited to trade on a U.S. stock exchange. The PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the People’s Republic of China because of a position taken by one or more authorities in mainland China; and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong. Furthermore, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled

 

Table of Contents

“Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCAA by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it had signed a Statement of Protocol (the “SOP”) with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of China. The SOP, together with two protocol agreements governing inspections and investigations (together, the “SOP Agreement”), establishes a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, as required under U.S. law. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong completely in 2022. The PCAOB Board vacated its previous 2021 determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainties and depends on a number of factors out of our and our auditor’s control. The PCAOB continues to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has also indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCAA if needed.

As of the date of the prospectus, Kreit and Chiu CPA LLP, our auditor, is not subject to the determinations as to inability to inspect or investigate completely as announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. The Company’s auditor is based in the New York, and is registered with PCAOB and subject to PCAOB inspection. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering” on page 39.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under federal securities laws and, as such, will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer” on page 20 for additional information.

Investing in our ordinary shares involves high degree of risks. You should read carefully the discussion of material risks of investing in our ordinary shares. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

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

Overview

The VIE and its subsidiaries are an electronic equipment wholesaler currently primarily involving (i) mobile devices, (ii) televisions, (iii) air conditioners, and other types of electronics that are high in demand on the market. Leveraging the strategic relationships with upstream and downstream enterprises, the VIE and its subsidiaries can navigate price fluctuations and ensure the ability to meet customers’ substantial demands for electronic devices and home appliances. The experienced sales and marketing team has helped establish and maintain stable relationships with the key supplier and customers while developing systematic strategies to monitor price fluctuations. Leveraging their expertise, the VIE and its subsidiaries strive to diversify the product portfolio and solidify the position in the wholesale chain of valuable electronic products.

Our main products include Apple branded mobile devices, Xiaomi branded televisions (Xiaomi TVs), Midea branded air conditioners and Xiaomi smartphones. The VIE and its subsidiaries have chosen these products because of their strong demand in the market. This high demand allows us to quickly sell a large number of devices sourced from upstream enterprises, reducing warehouse pressures and accelerating our profitable buying and selling cycle. We have chosen Midea-branded air conditioners because their price fluctuations generally follow regular seasonal patterns. By capitalizing on the pattern of price changes, we effectively enhance our profitability, reducing the cost of procurement and increasing overall profits when selling Midea air conditioners.

Our revenues for the year ended June 30, 2023 were approximately $104.0 million, which represents an increase of $26.9 million, or 35.0%, from our total revenues of approximately $77.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. Our gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $4.3 million, representing an increase of $3.7 million, or 613.0%, from approximately $0.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. Our net income (loss) for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $2.2 million and ($81,000), respectively.

Revenue Model

Our main revenue comes from selling electronic devices obtained from upstream enterprises, which we offer to downstream enterprises at competitive prices. In certain cases, such as air conditioners, we leverage the cashback policy provided by our upstream partners to enhance our profitability.

Suppliers and Customers

We have fostered a strong relationship with our suppliers and customers. Our customers are a variety of electronic device distributors. Our suppliers are mostly distributors who work closely with the principal manufacturers of electronic devices. Our main supplier mainly provides Apple mobile devices to us.

Sales and Marketing Team

Our sales and marketing team, based in China, consists of 15 dedicated full-time employees. They bring valuable experience in commodity trading, particularly focusing on electronic devices. Our sales team actively visits our upstream and downstream partners to better understand their needs.

Marketing

Collaboration with strategic partners is a significant aspect of our marketing strategy. We highly value our relationships with suppliers and customers and have plans to expand these collaborations to offer a wider range of products and reach more customers. In addition to strategic partnerships, word-of-mouth referrals from our existing customers and business contacts are essential to our marketing efforts. We are grateful for the positive reviews and believe they contribute to increased brand awareness.

Sales Process

The sales process begins with sourcing in-demand goods from upstream suppliers, negotiating terms, and finalizing purchase contracts. Upon payment notice, payments are made based on contract terms. Shipments are handled by upstream suppliers to our warehouses. Collaborating with service providers, goods are received, checked, sorted, and stored. Simultaneously, our sales team contacts downstream distributors for the highest bid. Sales orders and contracts are then finalized with downstream distributors, who make payments based on terms. Upon receiving payment, the sales team instructs the warehouse to arrange shipments to downstream distributors.

Our Corporate History and Structure

Galle China commenced operations in 2021. On November 8, 2023, to facilitate offshore financing, we incorporated Galle Cayman under the laws of the Cayman Islands as our offshore holding company. On November 15, we established Galle HK, and on December 20, 2023, we established Galle WFOE, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Galle HK.

Manya Galle, a subsidiary of Galle China, intends to carry out value-added telecommunications services and is in the process of applying for a value-added telecommunications business license. According to the Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for Foreign Investment Access (2021), the provision of value-added telecommunications services falls in the restricted category under the Special Administrative Measures and the percentage of foreign ownership cannot exceed 50% (except for e-commerce, domestic multi-party communications, store-and-forward, call center). Therefore, the shareholding ratio of foreign investors in Manya Galle shall not exceed 50%, and as a result Galle WFOE was unable to acquire 100% of Galle China through merger or acquisition.

On December 20, 2023, Galle WFOE entered into a series of contractual arrangements with Galle China, which we refer to as the VIE (variable interest entity), and the shareholders of the VIE. We depend on these contractual arrangements with the VIE, in which we have no ownership interests, and its shareholders to conduct most aspects of our operation. We have relied and expect to continue to rely on these contractual arrangements to conduct our business in China.

The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus and upon completion of this offering based on a proposed number of            ordinary shares being offered, assuming the representative does not exercise its over-allotment option. For more detail on our corporate history, please refer to “Business — Corporate History and Structure” beginning on page 76 of this prospectus.

Contractual Arrangements with the VIE and its Shareholders

Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership, neither we nor our subsidiaries own any direct equity interest in Galle China. Instead, for accounting purposes, we are the primary beneficiary and receive the economic benefits of Galle China’s business operation through a series of contractual arrangements. Galle WFOE, Galle China, and the shareholders of Galle China entered into a series of contractual arrangements, also known as VIE Agreements, on December 20, 2023. We have evaluated the guidance in FASB ASC 810 and determined that Galle WFOE is the primary

3

Table of Contents

beneficiary of the consolidated VIE, for accounting purposes, because, pursuant to the VIE agreements, the VIE shall pay service fees equal to all of its net income to Galle WFOE, and Galle WFOE has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that can significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and is obligated to absorb all of losses of the VIE. The VIE agreements are designed to render the operations of the VIE to be solely for the benefit of Galle WFOE, and, ultimately, Galle, which has indirect ownership in 100% of the equity in Galle WFOE. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, we treat the VIE and its subsidiaries as consolidated affiliated entities and have consolidated their financial results in our financial statements. If Galle China and their subsidiaries or the shareholders of Galle China fail to perform their respective obligations under the contractual arrangements, we could be limited in our ability to enforce the contractual arrangements. Furthermore, if we are unable to maintain our rights as the primary beneficiary over the VIE, we would not be able to continue to consolidate the financial results of the variable interest entity in our financial statements.

The following is a selection of the currently effective contractual arrangements by and among our wholly-owned subsidiary, Galle WFOE, and the VIE, Galle China. These contractual arrangements enable us to (i) exercise our rights as the primary beneficiary over the VIE; (ii) receive substantially all of the economic benefits of the VIE; and (iii) have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in and assets of it when and to the extent permitted by PRC law.

Equity Interest Pledge Agreement

Pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreement entered into among Galle WFOE, Galle China and the shareholders of Galle China, respectively, the shareholders of Galle China pledged all of their equity interests in Galle China to Galle WFOE to guarantee Galle China’s obligations under the contractual arrangements including the exclusive business cooperation agreement, the exclusive option agreement and the shareholders’ power of attorney and this equity interest pledge agreement, as well as any loss incurred due to events of default defined therein and all expenses incurred by Galle WFOE in enforcing such obligations of Galle China, or their shareholders. In the event of default defined therein, upon written notice to the shareholders of Galle China, Galle WFOE, as pledgee, will have the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests in Galle China and priority in receiving the proceeds from such disposition. The shareholders of Galle China agree that, without Galle WFOE’s prior written approval, during the term of the equity pledge agreement, they will not dispose of the pledged equity interests or create or allow any other encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. The pledge shall become effective on such date when the pledge of the equity interest contemplated in the equity interest pledge agreement is registered appropriately, and the pledge shall remain effective until all contractual obligations have been fully performed and all secured indebtedness have been fully paid. The shareholders and Galle China shall not have any right to terminate this agreement in any event unless otherwise required by PRC laws.

Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement

Galle WFOE and Galle China entered into exclusive business cooperation agreements on December 20, 2023, pursuant to which Galle WFOE has the exclusive right to provide to Galle China technical support, consulting services and other services related to, among other things, design and development, operation maintenance, product consulting, and management and marketing consulting. Galle WFOE has the exclusive ownership of intellectual property rights created during the performance of this agreement. Galle WFOE is entitled to collect a service fee equal to 100% of the net income of the VIE, which is the VIE’s earnings before corporate income tax, representing revenues after deduction of operating costs, expenses, and other taxes. In addition, during the term of the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreements, Galle WFOE shall bear all risks arising from or in connection with the VIE’s business operation, including providing financial support to the VIE in the event that the VIE incurs operating losses or has insufficient funds to repay its debts. This agreement will remain effective upon execution, and unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of this agreement or terminated in writing by Galle WFOE. Galle China shall not have any right to terminate this agreement in any event unless otherwise required by PRC laws.

Exclusive Option Agreement

Galle WFOE, Galle China and each of the shareholders of Galle China entered into exclusive option agreements on December 20, 2023, pursuant to which each of the shareholders of Galle China irrevocably granted Galle WFOE an exclusive call option to purchase, or have its designated person(s) to purchase, at its discretion, all or part of their equity interests in Galle China, and the purchase price shall be the lowest price permitted by applicable PRC law. Each of the shareholders of Galle China undertake that, without the prior written consent of Galle WFOE, they may not

Table of Contents

increase or decrease the registered capital or change its structure of registered capital in other manners, dispose of its assets or beneficial interest in the material business or allow the encumbrance thereon of any security interest, incur any debts or guarantee liabilities, enter into any material purchase agreements, enter into any merger, acquisition or investments, amend its articles of association, distribute dividends to any of the shareholders or provide any loans to third parties. The Exclusive Option Agreements, together with the Equity Interest Pledge Agreements, the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreements, and the Powers of Attorney, enable Galle WFOE to exercise effective control over the VIE.

The exclusive option agreement will remain effective until all equity interests in Galle China held by the shareholders of Galle China are transferred or assigned to Galle WFOE or its designated person(s). The shareholders of Galle China shall not have any right to terminate this agreement in any event unless otherwise required by PRC laws.

Power of Attorney

Pursuant to the Powers of Attorney, the shareholders of the VIE unconditionally and irrevocably entrust Galle WFOE or Galle WFOE’s designee to exercise all their rights as the shareholders of the VIE under the articles of association of the applicable VIE, including without limitation to: (a) propose to hold a shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the articles of association of the applicable VIE and attend shareholders’ meeting of the applicable VIE as the agent and attorney of the shareholders of the applicable VIE; (b) exercise all shareholders’ voting rights with respect to all matters to be discussed and voted in the shareholders’ meeting of the applicable VIE, including, but not limited to, the right to designate and appoint the director, the chief executive officer and other senior management members of the applicable VIE; (c) exercise other voting rights the shareholders are entitled to under the laws of China promulgated from time to time; and (d) exercise other voting rights the shareholders are entitled to under the articles of associations of the applicable VIE from time to time.

Each of the Powers of Attorney remains effective within the term during which the shareholders of the applicable VIE remain shareholders of such VIE.

Spousal Consent Letters

The spouses of the shareholders of the VIE agreed, via the spousal consent letters, to the execution of the “Transaction Documents” including: (a) the Equity Interest Pledge Agreements entered into between Galle WFOE and the VIE; (b) the Exclusive Option Agreement entered into with Galle WFOE and the VIE; and (c) the Powers of Attorney entered into with Galle WFOE and the VIE, and the disposal of the equity of the VIE held by the shareholder of the VIE and registered in his or her names. The spouses of the shareholders of the VIE further undertook not to make any assertions in connection with the equity of the VIE which are held by the shareholders of the VIE. The spouses of applicable shareholders of the VIE confirmed that the shareholders can perform, amend, or terminate the Transaction Documents without their authorization or consent. They undertook to execute all necessary documents and take all necessary actions to ensure appropriate performance of the agreements.

Single Status Statement

The shareholder of the VIE, who does not have a marriage, states that without the consent or authorization of others and he/she has the right to separately decide to sign the following documents (hereinafter referred to as “Transaction Documents”) including: (a) the Equity Interest Pledge Agreements entered into between Galle WFOE and the VIE; (b) the Exclusive Option Agreement entered into with Galle WFOE and the VIE; and (c) the Powers of Attorney and to dispose of the equity interest of the VIE.

Although we took every precaution available to effectively enforce the contractual and corporate relationship above, these contractual arrangements may still be less effective than direct ownership and that the Company may incur substantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements. For example, the VIE and its shareholders could breach their contractual arrangements with us by, among other things, failing to conduct their operations in an acceptable manner or taking other actions that are detrimental to our interests. If we had direct ownership of the VIE, we would be able to exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of the VIE, which in turn could implement changes, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management and operational level. However, under the current contractual arrangements, we rely on the performance by the VIE and its shareholders of its obligations under the contracts to exercise our rights as the primary beneficiary of over the VIE. The shareholders of our consolidated VIE may not act in the best interests of our company or may not perform their obligations under

5

Table of Contents

these contracts. In addition, failure of the VIE shareholders to perform certain obligations could compel the Company to rely on legal remedies available under PRC laws, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages, which may not be effective.

All of these contractual arrangements are governed by PRC law and provide for the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. The legal environment in the PRC is different from other jurisdictions, such as the United States. The uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contractual arrangements. In the event we are unable to enforce these contractual arrangements, we may not be able to exert effective power as the primary beneficiary over our operating entities and we may be precluded from operating our business, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or 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. For a detailed description of the certainties of the VIE arrangements, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure.”

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

The ongoing outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and business facilities globally for the past years. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 to be a pandemic. In light of the uncertain and rapidly evolving situation relating to the spread of COVID-19, we have taken precautionary measures intended to minimize the risk of the virus to our employees and the communities in which we operate, including temporarily closing our offices and virtualizing, postponing, or canceling user, developer, creator, employee, or industry events, which may negatively impact our business.

From 2020 to 2022, China implemented various restrictive measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including imposing lockdowns and other restrictions from time to time. During the first half of 2022, our business experienced a slowdown in growth due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated government measures. Travel restrictions and disruptions in logistics services and product deliveries impacted our ability to supply storage products to customers. To address these challenges, we worked closely with customers and suppliers, arranging delayed deliveries and expediting product shipments. Despite these obstacles, the negative effects were substantially mitigated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, through increased demand for electronic devices and home appliances, robust procurement and sales channels, and financial resilience. Leveraging our relationships and market knowledge, we successfully navigated fluctuations in customer demands and product prices. From December 2022 to February 2023, a surge in COVID-19 infections in the PRC led to employee infections, prompting health and safety measures, impacting operational capacity, and increasing costs.

Since January 8, 2023, China government has loosened its restrictions. And since March 2023, the pandemic no longer significantly affects our financial performance. However, there are still uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic’s future impact, and the extent of the impact will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 variations; and the macroeconomic impact of government measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 variations and related government stimulus measures. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it impact our business, operations, and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including:

        the duration and scope of the pandemic, including any potential future waves of the pandemic;

        governmental, business, and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic;

        the availability of and cost to access the capital markets;

        the effect of the pandemic on our developers;

Table of Contents

        disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to work and travel; and

        interruptions related to our infrastructure and partners.

Dividends Policy

We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business, or settle amounts owed under the VIE agreements, if any, and do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments.

Subject to the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, which we refer to as the “Companies Act” below, and our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, our board of directors has discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. 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 of the Company, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in, immediately following the date on which the dividend is proposed to be paid, the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Transfers of Cash to and from Our Subsidiaries, the VIE and its Subsidiaries

Galle Cayman is a holding company with no operations of its own. The VIE and its subsidiaries conduct operations in China. We may rely on service fees to be paid by the VIE and its subsidiaries to fund our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders, to service any debt we may incur and to pay our operating expenses. If the VIE and its subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

Galle Cayman is permitted under the Cayman Islands laws to provide funding to our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and PRC through loans or capital contributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds, subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration, approval and filing requirements. Galle HK is also permitted under the laws of Hong Kong to provide funding to Galle Cayman through dividend distribution without restrictions on the amount of the funds. As of the date of this prospectus, there has been no distribution of dividends or assets among the holding company or the subsidiaries, or to the VIE or our shareholders.

Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is levied in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us. The laws and regulations of the PRC do not prohibit the transfer of cash from Galle Cayman to Galle HK or from Galle HK to Galle Cayman, provided that each transfer shall comply with PRC foreign exchange laws and regulations. There are no restrictions or limitation under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HK dollar into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong or across borders and to U.S investors.

Current PRC regulations permit Galle WFOE to pay dividends to Galle HK only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, Galle WFOE, as well as the VIE and its subsidiaries in China, are required to allocate at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to establish a statutory reserve until this reserve reaches 50% of their registered capital. Each of such entity in China is also required to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at the discretion of its board of directors. Although the statutory reserves can be used, among other ways, to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies, the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation.

7

Table of Contents

The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any. Furthermore, if our operation entities in the PRC incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or our subsidiaries are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations, we may be unable to pay dividends on our ordinary shares.

Cash dividends, if any, on our ordinary shares will be paid in U.S. dollars. If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10.0%.

In order for us to pay dividends to our shareholders, we will rely on payments made from the VIE and its subsidiaries, to Galle WFOE, from Galle WFOE to Galle HK, and from Galle HK to Galle. Certain payments from the VIE and its subsidiaries to Galle HK are subject to PRC taxes, including business taxes and VAT. As of the date of this prospectus, our PRC subsidiary has not made any transfers or distributions. Besides the potential tax consequences, we do not anticipate any difficulties or limitations on our ability to transfer cash between the holding company and the subsidiaries, or between the VIE and the subsidiaries in the future. However, we have not installed any cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred between the holding company, the subsidiaries and the VIE. Furthermore, to the extent cash in the business is in the PRC/Hong Kong or a PRC/Hong Kong entity, the funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC/Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of the holding company, our subsidiaries, or the VIE by the PRC government to transfer cash.

Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion on Income, or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, the 10% withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5% if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns no less than 25% of a PRC entity. However, the 5% withholding tax rate does not automatically apply and certain requirements must be satisfied, including, without limitation, that (a) the Hong Kong entity must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends; and (b) the Hong Kong entity must directly hold no less than 25% share ownership in the PRC entity during the 12 consecutive months preceding its receipt of the dividends. In current practice, a Hong Kong entity must obtain a tax resident certificate from the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5% lower PRC withholding tax rate. As the Hong Kong tax authority will issue such a tax resident certificate on a case-by-case basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the Double Taxation Arrangement with respect to dividends to be paid by our PRC subsidiary to its immediate holding company, Galle HK. As of the date of this prospectus, Galle WFOE currently does not have any plan to declare and pay dividends to Galle HK and we have not applied for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority. Galle HK intends to apply for the tax resident certificate when Galle WFOE plans to declare and pay dividends to Galle HK. When Galle WFOE plans to declare and pay dividends to Galle HK and when we intend to apply for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority, we plan to inform the investors through SEC filings, such as a current report on Form 8-K, prior to such actions. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — We are a holding company and will rely on dividends paid by our subsidiaries and service fees paid by the VIE and its subsidiaries for our cash needs. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make dividend payments to us, any limitation on the ability of the VIE and its subsidiaries to pay the service fees to us, or any tax implications of making dividend payments to us, could limit our ability to pay our parent company expenses or pay dividends to holders of our ordinary shares.”

Summary of Risk Factors

Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk. Below is a summary of material factors that make an investment in our ordinary shares speculative or risky. Importantly, this summary does not address all of the risks that we face. Please refer to the information contained in and incorporated by reference under the heading “Risk Factors” on page 23 of this prospectus.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

Risks related to our corporate structure, beginning on page 41 of this prospectus, include but are not limited to the following:

        “If the PRC government deems that the contractual arrangements in relation to Galle., our VIE do not comply with PRC regulatory restrictions on foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.

        The shareholders of the VIE may have actual or potential conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

        Our VIE Agreements are governed by PRC law. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law, and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures.

        Any failure by the VIE, or their shareholders to perform their obligations under the VIE Agreements with them would have a material adverse effect on our business.

        The VIE Agreements in relation to the VIE may be subject to scrutiny by the PRC tax authorities and they may determine that we or the VIE owe additional taxes, which could negatively affect our financial condition and the value of your investment.

        We may lose the ability to use, or otherwise benefit from, the licenses, approvals and assets held by the VIE, which could severely disrupt our business, render us unable to conduct some or all of our business operations and constrain our growth.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

Risks related to doing business in China, beginning on page 23 of this prospectus, include but are not limited to the following:

        We are a holding company and will rely on dividends paid by our subsidiaries and service fees paid by the VIE and its subsidiaries for our cash needs. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make dividend payments to us, any limitation on the ability of the VIE and its subsidiaries to pay the service fees to us, or any tax implications of making dividend payments to us, could limit our ability to pay our parent company expenses or pay dividends to holders of our ordinary shares.

        “Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulations in China with little advance notice could adversely affect us and limit the legal protections available to you and us.” See page 23.

        “The filing, approval or other administration requirements of the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our future offshore offering under PRC law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to complete the filing procedure with the CSRC and obtain such approval or complete such filing, as applicable.” See page 24.

        “Any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our ordinary shares to investors and cause the value of our

11

Table of Contents

ordinary shares to significantly decline or be worthless. The M&A Rules and certain other PRC regulations establish complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.” See page 26.

        “There are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities.” See page 27.

        “PRC regulation of loans to, and direct investments in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies may delay or prevent us from using proceeds from this offering and/or future financing activities to make loans or additional capital contributions to the VIE and its subsidiaries.” See page 27.

        “We must remit the offering proceeds to China before they may be used to benefit our business in China, and this process may take several months to complete.” See page 28.

        “Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.” See page 29.

        “We may become subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the PRC regarding privacy, data security, cybersecurity, and data protection. We may be liable for improper use or appropriation of personal information provided by our customers.” See page 35.

        “Trading in our securities may be prohibited under the HFCAA and as a result an exchange may determine to delist our securities if 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.” See page [•].

        “The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering.” See page 39.

        “The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission may be required in connection with this offering, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.” See page 40.

        “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. “It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China.” See page 38.

        “To the extent cash or assets in the business is in the PRC or Hong Kong or a PRC or Hong Kong entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC or Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of us or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets.” See page 33.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Risks related to our business and industry, beginning on page 44 of this prospectus, include but are not limited to the following:

        Our historical growth rates and performance may not be sustainable or indicative of our future growth and financial results. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain the growth rate we have experienced to date.

        The success of our business relies on retaining existing customers and attracting new ones.

        Our business is dependent on the key supplier and changes or difficulties in our relationship with the key supplier may harm our business and financial results.

        Fluctuations in product prices can significantly impact our profitability and potentially result in losses.

12

Table of Contents

        Our business operations may be subject to seasonality.

        Risks associated with the manufacturers of the products we hold as our own inventory could significantly and adversely impact our financial performance, as well as our reputation and brand.

        The development of manufacturers’ online and offline stores, including experience stores, could lead to a decrease in our sales and operating results, limiting our ability to grow our business.

        Product issues may trigger liability claims, recalls, regulatory actions, and harm our financial health by diverting resources, disrupting operations, and increasing costs.

        Our success depends on the continuing efforts of our senior management and key employees.

        Our failure to effectively manage our business expansion, including entry into new areas of business, would significantly impact our results of operations and prospects.

        Damage to our brand image could significantly and adversely affect our growth strategy, as well as our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

        Our business may require significant capital investments, which might not always be obtainable at favorable terms. Failing to execute our strategy, including growth initiatives, could harm our financial health, operations, and cash flows.

        We may not achieve the benefits we expect from future investments and acquisitions, and our operations may be materially adversely affected by such activities.

        New lines of business or new products and services may subject us to additional risks.

        We primarily engage in the trading of electronic devices and home appliances. Factors that adversely affect the electronic device and home appliance industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

        The industries in which we operate are highly competitive and fragmented, we may not be able to maintain or may lose market share and customers if we fail to compete effectively.

        If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately or timely report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our ordinary shares may be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

Risks related to intellectual property, beginning on page 50 of this prospectus, include but are not limited to the following:

        We may face challenges in protecting and enforcing our trademarks and trade names, as well as establishing name recognition in our target markets, potentially harming our competitive position.

        If the VIE and its subsidiaries are not able to adequately protect their proprietary intellectual property and information and protect against third party allegations, harassment, or other detrimental conduct, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

        Third parties may assert that the VIE and its subsidiaries’ employees or contractors have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information or misappropriated trade secrets, which could result in litigation.

Table of Contents

Risks Related to the Offering and Our Ordinary Shares

Risks related to the offering and our ordinary shares, beginning on page 52 of this prospectus, include but are not limited to the following:

        “The trading price of the ordinary shares is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.” See page 52.

        “We may experience extreme stock price volatility, including any stock-run up, unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our ordinary shares.” See page 53.

        “We have not paid dividends to our shareholders. And we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.” See page 53.

        “For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements.” See page 53.

        “As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to certain U.S. securities law disclosure requirements that apply to a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limit the information publicly available to our shareholders.” See page 54.

        “Our compensation of directors and officers may not be publicly available.” See page 54.

Implication of Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act

U.S. laws and regulations, including the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or HFCAA, may restrict or eliminate our ability to complete a business combination with certain companies, particularly those acquisition candidates with substantial operations in China.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCAA. An identified issuer 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 June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCAA by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading. On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCAA, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, 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 HFCAA. 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 report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it had signed a Statement of Protocol (the “SOP”) with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of China. The SOP, together with two protocol agreements governing inspections and investigations (together, the “SOP Agreement”), establishes a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, as required under U.S. law. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong completely in 2022. The PCAOB Board vacated its previous 2021 determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether

14

Table of Contents

the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainties and depends on a number of factors out of our and our auditor’s control. The PCAOB continues to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has also indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCAA if needed.

Our auditor, Kreit and Chiu CPA LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included 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 Kreit and Chiu CPA LLP’s compliance with applicable professional standards. Kreit and Chiu CPA LLP is headquartered in New York, US and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, with the last inspection in 2023. Therefore, we believe that, as of the date of this prospectus, our auditor is not subject to the determinations as to the inability to inspect or investigate registered firms completely announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021.

However, 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. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering” on page 39.

PRC Limitation on Oversea Listing and Share Issuances

Neither we, our subsidiaries nor our VIE are currently required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or Cybersecurity Administration Committee, or CAC, to list on U.S exchanges or issue securities to foreign investors, however, if our VIE, subsidiaries or the holding company were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange, which would materially affect the interest of the investors. It is uncertain when and whether the Company will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although the Company is currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC federal or local government to obtain such permission and has not received any denial to list on the U.S. exchange, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry. For more detailed information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission may be required in connection with this offering, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.” And “We may become subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the PRC regarding privacy, data security, cybersecurity, and data protection. We may be liable for improper use or appropriation of personal information provided by our customers.”

Recent Regulatory Developments in PRC

We have been closely monitoring regulatory developments in China regarding any necessary approvals from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities required for overseas listings, including this offering. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC or other PRC governmental authorities. However, there remains significant uncertainty as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements related to overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities, including but not limited to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings. Although we endeavor to comply with all the applicable laws and regulations, if (i) the operating entity does not receive or maintain applicable permissions or approvals for our operation and to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors, or (ii) we inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and the operating entity is required to obtain permissions or approvals in the future, the operating entity’s business operation may be materially affected. There can be no assurance that we or the operating entity can obtain all requisite approvals without material disruption to the operating entity’s business. Therefore, any failure to obtain all requisite approvals may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue

15

Table of Contents

to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The filing, approval or other administration requirements of the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our future offshore offering under PRC law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to complete the filing procedure with the CSRC and obtain such approval or complete such filing, as applicable.” “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — Uncertainties with respect to the enforcement of laws, and changes in laws and regulations in China with little advance notice, could materially and adversely affect us,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our ordinary shares.”

Recently, the PRC government adopted a series of regulatory actions and issued statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. On July 6, 2021, the relevant PRC government authorities issued Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in accordance with the Law. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies and proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies. These opinions and any related implementation rules to be enacted may subject us to additional compliance requirement in the future. As of the date of the prospectus, no official guidance or related implementation rules have been issued. As a result, the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities remain unclear on how they will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC governmental authorities. We cannot assure 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. On December 28, 2021, 13 governmental departments of the PRC, including the CAC, issued the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor our subsidiaries have been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by any PRC regulatory authority, nor has any of them received any inquiry, notice, or sanction related to cybersecurity review under the Cybersecurity Review Measures. On November 14, 2021, the CAC published the Administration Regulations on Network Data Security (Draft for Comments), or the Draft Measures for Network Data Security, which provides that data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security must be subject to network data security review by the relevant Cyberspace Administration of the PRC. According to the Draft Measures for Network Data Security, data processing operators who possess personal data of no less than one million users or collect data that affects or may affect national security must be subject to network data security review by the relevant Cyberspace Administration of the PRC. The deadline for public comments on the Draft Measures for Network Data Security was December 13, 2021. The Draft Measures for Network Data Security has not been fully implemented as of the date of this prospectus.

As confirmed by our PRC counsel, DOCVIT, we are not subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC under the Cybersecurity Review Measures, nor are we subject to network data security by the CAC if the Security Administration Draft is enacted as proposed, since the PRC operation entities’ business does not involve processing users’ personal information and they are not deemed as a CIIO, nor is it an online platform operator with personal information of no less than one million users. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — We may become subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the PRC regarding privacy, data security, cybersecurity, and data protection. We may be liable for improper use or appropriation of personal information provided by our customers.” Since these statements and regulatory actions are newly published, however, official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued. It is highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the daily business operations of our PRC operating entities, their ability to accept foreign investments, and our listing on a U.S. exchange. The SCNPC or PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws, regulations, or implementing rules that require us and our subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities before listing in the U.S.

On February 17, 2023, the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines, together as the New Overseas Listing Rules, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. According to the New Overseas Listing Rules, domestic companies that seek to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, should fulfill the filing procedures and report relevant information to the CSRC; any failure to comply with such filling procedures may result in administrative penalties, such as order to rectify, warnings, and fines (ranging from RMB1 million to RMB10 million, or approximately $145,000 to $1,450,000). On February 24, 2023, the CSRC issued the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives

16

Table of Contents

Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions”),which came into effect on March 31, 2023. In the overseas listing activities of domestic companies, domestic companies, as well as securities companies and securities service institutions providing relevant securities services thereof, should establish a sound system of confidentiality and archival work, shall not disclose state secrets, or harm the state and public interests. We believe that this offering does not involve the leaking of any state secret or working secret of government agencies, or the harming of national security and public interests. However, we may be required to perform additional procedures in connection with the provision of accounting archives.

Regulatory Permissions

The VIE and its subsidiaries have obtained material permissions and approvals required for our operations in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations in the PRC. As of the date of this prospectus, the only permission required for operations are the business licenses of the VIE and its subsidiaries. The business license in PRC is a permit issued by Market Supervision and Administration that allows the company to conduct specific business within the government’s geographical jurisdiction. As of the date of this prospectus, the VIE and its subsidiaries have received from PRC authorities all requisite licenses, permissions or approvals needed to engage in the businesses currently conducted in China, and no permission or approval has been denied. The following table provides details on the licenses and permissions held by the VIE and its subsidiaries.

As of the date of this prospectus, according to our PRC counsel, Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, although we are required to complete the filing procedure in connection with our offering (including this offering and any subsequent offering) and listing under the Trial Measures, no relevant PRC laws or regulations in effect require that we obtain permission from any PRC authorities to issue securities to foreign investors, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or any regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other PRC authorities that have jurisdiction over our operations.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies jointly adopted the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, which came into effect on September 8, 2006 and were amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules requires that an offshore special purpose vehicle formed for overseas listing purposes and controlled directly or indirectly by the PRC Citizens shall obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to overseas listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. Based on our understanding of the Chinese laws and regulations in effect at the time of this prospectus, we will not be required to submit an application to the CSRC for its approval of this offering and the listing and trading of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq under the M&A Rules. However, there remains some uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented, and the opinions of our PRC counsel summarized above are 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 relevant Chinese government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion.

Recently, 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 Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities, which were made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems will be taken to deal with the risks and incidents of China-based overseas listed companies, and cybersecurity and data privacy protection requirements and similar matters. It is still uncertain how PRC governmental authorities will regulate overseas listing in general and whether we are required to obtain any specific regulatory approvals. Furthermore, if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering and any follow-on offering, we may be unable to obtain such approvals which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors. On December 24, 2021, the CSRC, together with other relevant government authorities in China issued the Provisions of the State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments), and the Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (“Draft Overseas Listing Regulations”). The Draft Overseas Listing Regulations requires that a PRC domestic enterprise seeking to issue and list its shares overseas (“Overseas Issuance and Listing”) shall complete the filing procedures of and submit the relevant information to CSRC. The Overseas Issuance and Listing includes direct and indirect issuance and listing. Where an enterprise whose principal business activities are conducted in PRC seeks to issue and list its shares in the name of an overseas enterprise (“Overseas Issuer”) on the basis of the equity, assets, income or other similar rights and interests of the relevant PRC domestic enterprise, such activities shall be deemed an indirect overseas issuance and listing (“Indirect Overseas Issuance and Listing”) under the Draft Overseas Listing Regulations. Therefore, the proposed offering would be deemed an Indirect Overseas Issuance and Listing under the Draft Overseas Listing Regulations. As such, the Company would be required to complete the filing procedures of and submit the relevant information to CSRC after the Draft Overseas Listing Regulations become effective.

On December 28, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China jointly with the relevant authorities formally published Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) which took effect on February 15, 2022 and replace the former Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2020). Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) stipulates that operators of critical information infrastructure purchasing network products and services, and online platform operator (together with the operators of critical information infrastructure, the “Operators”) carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, shall conduct a cybersecurity review, any online platform operator who controls more than one million users’ personal information must go through a cybersecurity review by the cybersecurity review office if it seeks to be listed in a foreign country. Since we are not an Operator, nor do we control more than one million users’ personal information, we would not be required to apply for a cybersecurity review under the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021).

On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, announced the Circular on the Administrative Arrangements for Filing of Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Circular, and released a set of new regulations which consists of the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines. On the same date, the CSRC also released the Notice on the Arrangements for the Filing Management of Overseas Listing of Domestic Companies, or the Notice. The Trial Measures came into effect on March 31, 2023. The Trial Measures refine the regulatory system by subjecting both direct and indirect overseas offering and listing activities to the CSRC filing-based administration. Requirements for filing entities, time points and procedures are specified. A PRC domestic company that seeks to offer and list securities in overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC per the requirements of the Trial Measures. Where a PRC domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities in overseas markets, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity, which shall, as the domestic responsible entity, file with the CSRC. The Trial Measures also lay out requirements for the reporting of material events. Breaches of the Trial Measures, such as offering and listing securities overseas without fulfilling the filing procedures, shall bear legal liabilities, including a fine between RMB 1.0 million (approximately $150,000) and RMB 10.0 million (approximately $1.5 million), and the Trial Measures heighten the cost for offenders by enforcing accountability with administrative penalties and incorporating the compliance status of relevant market participants into the Securities Market Integrity Archives.

Since the Trial Measures have come into effect as of the date of this prospectus, under the currently effective PRC laws and regulations, we are required to make filings with the CSRC and should complete the filing before our listing on the Nasdaq. As of the date of this prospectus, we are in the process of preparing a report and other required materials in connection with the CSRC filing procedures, which will be submitted to the CSRC in due course. However, if we do not maintain the permissions and approvals of the filing procedure in a timely manner under PRC laws and regulations, we may be subject to investigations by competent regulators, fines or penalties, ordered to suspend our relevant operations and rectify any non-compliance, prohibited from engaging in relevant business or conducting any offering, and these risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations, limit our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless. As the Circular and Trial Measures were newly published, there exists uncertainty with respect to the filing requirements and their implementation. Any failure or perceived failure of us to fully comply with such new regulatory requirements could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — The filing, approval or other administration requirements of the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our future offshore offering under PRC law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to complete the filing procedure with the CSRC and obtain such approval or complete such filing, as applicable” on page 24.

As of the date of this prospectus, according to our PRC counsel, Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, although we are required to complete the filing procedure in connection with our offering (including this offering and any subsequent offering) and listing under the Trial Measures, none of the Company or any our subsidiaries is currently required to obtain any other approval from Chinese authorities, to list on U.S exchanges or issue securities to foreign investors, given that: (i) our PRC subsidiary was incorporated as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise by means of direct investment rather than 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 that are our beneficial owners; (ii) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like ours under this prospectus are subject to the M&A Rules; and (iii) no provision in the M&A Rules clearly classifies contractual arrangements as a type of transaction subject to the M&A Rules.

However, there remains some uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in the context of an overseas offering and the opinions summarized above are 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 relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as our PRC counsel does, and hence we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into China, restrict or prohibit the payments or remittance of dividends by the VIE and its subsidiaries or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our

business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of the shares. It is uncertain when and whether the Company will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded.

The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations. For example, the PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding any industry that could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of our company. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, 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. As confirmed by our PRC counsel, we currently are not subject to cybersecurity review with the CAC, to conduct business operations in China, given that: (i) we do not possess a large amount of personal information in our business operations; and (ii) data processed in our business does not have a bearing on national security and thus may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities. In addition, as confirmed by our PRC counsel, we are not subject to merger control review by China’s anti-monopoly enforcement agency due to the level of our revenues which provided from us and audited by our auditor Kreit and Chiu CPA LLP, and the fact that we currently do not expect to propose or implement any acquisition of control of, or decisive influence over, any company with revenues within China of more than RMB 400 million.

Although we have not received any denial to list on the U.S. exchange or conduct our daily business operation, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on an U.S. or other foreign exchange. For more detailed information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission may be required in connection with this offering, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval” on page 40 and “We may become subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the PRC regarding privacy, data security, cybersecurity, and data protection. We may be liable for improper use or appropriation of personal information provided by our customers.” on page 35.

Corporate Information

Our company was incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability on November 8, 2023. Our principal executive office is located at Building 10, Gate 2, Xixi Art Collection Village, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, People’s Republic of China, 310000. The telephone number of our principal executive offices is +86-13911402109. Our registered office in the Cayman Islands is located at P. O.

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, or JOBS Act, enacted in April 2012, and may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

        being permitted to 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 in our filings with the SEC;

        not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting;

        reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and

        exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Table of Contents

We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our ordinary shares pursuant to this offering. However, if certain events occur before the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company before the end of such five-year period.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and acknowledge such election is irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

Foreign Private Issuer Status

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

        we are not required to provide as many Exchange Act reports, or as frequently, as a U.S. 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 FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information;

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

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

We intend to comply with the Nasdaq corporate governance rules applicable to foreign private issuers, which permit us to follow certain corporate governance rules that conform to the Cayman Islands requirements in lieu of many of the Nasdaq corporate governance rules applicable to U.S. companies. As a result, our corporate governance practices may differ from those you might otherwise expect from a U.S. company listed on Nasdaq.

RISK FACTORS

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

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

We are a holding company and will rely on dividends paid by our subsidiaries and service fees paid by the VIE and its subsidiaries for our cash needs. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make dividend payments to us, any limitation on the ability of the VIE and its subsidiaries to pay the service fees to us, or any tax implications of making dividend payments to us, could limit our ability to pay our parent company expenses or pay dividends to holders of our ordinary shares.

We are a holding company and conduct all of our business through the VIE and its subsidiaries, which are limited liability companies established in China. We may rely on service fees to be paid by the VIE and its subsidiaries to fund our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders, to service any debt we may incur and to pay our operating expenses. If the VIE and its subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay service fees or make other distributions to us.

Under PRC laws and regulations, the WFOE may pay dividends only out of its accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a certain statutory reserve fund, until the aggregate amount of such fund reaches 50% of its registered capital.

The VIE and its subsidiaries generate primarily all of their revenue in Renminbi, which is not freely convertible into other currencies. As a result, any restriction on currency exchange may limit the ability of the VIE and its subsidiaries to use its Renminbi revenues to pay service fees to us. The PRC government may continue to strengthen its capital controls, and more restrictions and substantial vetting process may be put forward by State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”) for cross-border transactions falling under both the current account and the capital account. Any limitation on the ability of the VIE and its subsidiaries to pay service fees or make other kinds of payments to us 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.

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 PRC companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless otherwise exempted or reduced according to treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC resident enterprises are incorporated. Any limitation on the ability of the VIE and its subsidiaries to pay service fees or make other distributions to us 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.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws, and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulations in China with little advance notice could adversely affect us and limit the legal protections available to you and us.

There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business and the enforcement and performance of our arrangements with customers in certain circumstances. The laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement could be unpredictable, with little advance notice. The effectiveness and interpretation of newly enacted laws or regulations, including amendments to existing

23

Table of Contents

laws and regulations, may be delayed, and our business may be affected if we rely on laws and regulations which are subsequently adopted or interpreted in a manner different from our current understanding of these laws and regulations. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions under the civil law system may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. In addition, any new or changes in PRC laws and regulations related to foreign investment in China could affect the business environment and our ability to operate our business in China.

From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. Any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory provisions and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than legal systems in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. These uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into and could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

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 may have 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 unpredictability towards our contractual, property and procedural rights could adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.

The financial and taxation solution services industry in China is subject to extensive regulation. Related laws and regulations are relatively new and evolving. The interpretation and application of existing PRC laws, regulations and policies and possible new laws, regulations or policies relating to the financial and taxation solution services industry have created substantial uncertainties regarding the legality of existing and future foreign investments in, and the businesses and activities of, financial and taxation solution services businesses in China, including our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our existing licenses or obtain new ones. If our operations do not comply with these new regulations at the time they become effective, or if we fail to obtain any licenses or approval required under these new laws and regulations, we could be subject to penalties.

The PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene or influence our operations as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals. The PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries, such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over securities offerings and other capital markets activities that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based companies like us. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless.

The filing, approval or other administration requirements of the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our future offshore offering under PRC law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to complete the filing procedure with the CSRC and obtain such approval or complete such filing, as applicable.

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”), adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies in 2006 and amended in 2009, include, among other things, provisions that purport to require that an offshore special purpose vehicle, formed for the purpose of an overseas listing of securities through acquisitions of domestic enterprises in China or assets and controlled by enterprises or individuals in China, 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. On September 21, 2006, pursuant to the M&A Rules and other PRC laws, the CSRC published on its official website relevant guidance regarding its approval of the listing and trading of special purpose vehicles’ securities on overseas stock exchanges, including a list of application materials. However, substantial uncertainty remains regarding the scope and applicability of the M&A Rules to offshore special purpose vehicles.

Table of Contents

On July 6, 2021, the relevant PRC government authorities issued Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in accordance with the Law. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies and proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies. These opinions and any related implementation rules to be enacted may subject us to additional compliance requirement in the future. As of the date of the prospectus, no official guidance or related implementation rules have been issued. As a result, the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities remain unclear on how they will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC governmental authorities. We cannot assure 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.

Pursuant to Cybersecurity Review Measures which were issued on December 28, 2021 and became effective on February 15, 2022, network platform operators holding over one million users’ personal information must apply with the Cybersecurity Review Office for a cybersecurity review before any public offering at a foreign stock exchange. However, given the Cybersecurity Review Measures were relatively new, there are substantial uncertainties as to the interpretation, application and enforcement of the Cybersecurity Review Measures. It remains uncertain whether we should apply for cybersecurity review prior to any offshore offering and that we would be able to complete the applicable cybersecurity review procedures in a timely manner, or at all, if we are required to do so. In addition, on November 14, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”) published the Administration Regulations on Network Data Security (Draft for Comments), or the Draft Measures for Network Data Security, which provides that data processors conducting the following activities shall apply for cybersecurity review: (i) merger, reorganization or separation of Internet platform operators that have acquired a large number of data resources related to national security, economic development or public interests affects or may affect national security; (ii) overseas listing of data processors processing over one million users’ personal information; (iii) listing in Hong Kong which affects or may affect national security; (iv) other data processing activities that affect or may affect national security. In addition, the Draft Measures for Network Data Security also require Internet platform operators to establish platform rules, privacy policies and algorithm strategies related to data, and solicit public comments on their official websites and personal information protection related sections for no less than 30 working days when they formulate platform rules or privacy policies or makes any amendments that may have significant impacts on users’ rights and interests. The CAC solicited comments on this draft and the deadline for feedback was December 13, 2021, but there is no timetable as to when it will be enacted.

On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, announced the Circular on the Administrative Arrangements for Filing of Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Circular, and released a set of new regulations which consists of the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines together as the New Overseas Listing Rules. On the same date, the CSRC also released the Notice on the Arrangements for the Filing Management of Overseas Listing of Domestic Companies, or the Notice. The New Overseas Listing Rules came into effect on March 31, 2023. The New Overseas Listing Rules refine the regulatory system by subjecting both direct and indirect overseas offering and listing activities to the CSRC filing-based administration. Requirements for filing entities, time points and procedures are specified. A PRC domestic company that seeks to offer and list securities in overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC per the requirements of the New Overseas Listing Rules. Where a PRC domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities in overseas markets, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity, which shall, as the domestic responsible entity, file with the CSRC. The Trial Measures also lay out requirements for the reporting of material events. Breaches of the Trial Measures, such as offering and listing securities overseas without fulfilling the filing procedures, shall bear legal liabilities, including a fine between RMB 1.0 million (approximately $150,000) and RMB 10.0 million (approximately $1.5 million), and the Trial Measures heighten the cost for offenders by enforcing accountability with administrative penalties and incorporating the compliance status of relevant market participants into the Securities Market Integrity Archives.

Since the New Overseas Listing Rules have come into effect as of the date of this prospectus, under the currently effective PRC laws and regulations, we are required to make filings with the CSRC and should complete the filing before our listing on the Nasdaq. As of the date of this prospectus, we are in the process of preparing a report and other required materials in connection with the CSRC filing procedures, which will be submitted to the CSRC in due course. However, if we do not complete the filing procedure in a timely manner under PRC laws and regulations, we may be subject to investigations by competent regulators, fines or penalties, ordered to suspend our relevant operations and rectify any non-compliance, prohibited from engaging in relevant business or conducting any offering, and these

risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations, limit our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless. As the Circular and New Overseas Listing Rules were newly published, there exists uncertainty with respect to the filing requirements and their implementation. Any failure or perceived failure of us to fully comply with such new regulatory requirements could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

As of the date of this prospectus, according to our PRC counsel, Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, although we are required to complete the filing procedure in connection with our offering (including this offering and any subsequent offering) and listing under the New Overseas Listing Rules, no relevant PRC laws or regulations in effect require that we obtain permission from any PRC authorities to issue securities to foreign investors, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or any regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other PRC authorities that have jurisdiction over our operations. If it is determined that we are subject to filing requirements imposed by the CSRC under the Overseas Listing Regulations or approvals from other PRC regulatory authorities or other procedures, including the cybersecurity review under the revised Cybersecurity Review Measures, for our future offshore offerings, it would be uncertain whether we can or how long it will take us to complete such procedures or obtain such approval and any such approval could be rescinded. Any failure to obtain or delay in completing such procedures or obtaining such approval for our offshore offerings, or a rescission of any such approval if obtained by us, would subject us to sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities for failure to file with the CSRC or failure to seek approval from other government authorization for our offshore offerings. These regulatory authorities may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from our offshore offerings into China or take other actions that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, as well as the trading price of our ordinary shares. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory authorities also may take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt our offshore offerings before settlement and delivery of the securities offered. Consequently, if investors engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery, they do so at the risk that settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC or other regulatory authorities later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals or accomplish the required filing or other regulatory procedures for our prior offshore offerings, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties or negative publicity regarding such approval requirement could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, reputation, and the trading price of our ordinary shares.

Any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our ordinary shares to investors and cause the value of our ordinary shares to significantly decline or be worthless. The M&A Rules and certain other PRC regulations establish complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies in August 2006 and amended in 2009, and some other regulations and rules concerning mergers and acquisitions established additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time consuming and complex, including requirements in some instances that the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (“MOFCOM”) be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise. For example, the M&A Rules require that MOFCOM be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise, if (i) any important industry is concerned, (ii) such transaction involves factors that impact or may impact national economic security, or (iii) such transaction will lead to a change in control of a domestic enterprise which holds a famous trademark or PRC time-honored brand. Moreover, the Anti-Monopoly Law promulgated by the SCNPC effective in 2008 requires that transactions which are deemed concentrations and involve parties with specified turnover thresholds (i.e., during the previous fiscal year, (i) the total global turnover of all operators participating in the transaction exceeds RMB10 billion and at least two of these operators each had a turnover of more than RMB 400 million within China, or (ii) the total turnover

26

Table of Contents

within China of all the operators participating in the concentration exceeded RMB 2 billion, and at least two of these operators each had a turnover of more than RMB 400 million within China) must be cleared by MOFCOM before they can be completed.

Moreover, the Anti-Monopoly Law requires that the MOFCOM shall be notified in advance of any concentration of undertaking if certain thresholds are triggered. In addition, the security review rules issued by the MOFCOM that became effective in September 2011 specify that mergers and acquisitions by foreign investors that raise “national defense and security” concerns and mergers and acquisitions through which foreign investors may acquire de facto control over domestic enterprises that raise “national security” concerns are subject to strict review by the MOFCOM, and the rules prohibit any activities attempting to bypass a security review, including by structuring the transaction through a proxy or contractual control arrangement. In the future, we may grow our business by acquiring complementary businesses. Complying with the requirements of the above-mentioned regulations and other relevant rules to complete such transactions could be time consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the MOFCOM or its local counterparts may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

There are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities.

We conduct substantially all of our business operations in China, and all of our directors and senior management are based in China, which is an emerging market. The SEC, U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities often have substantial difficulties in bringing and enforcing actions against non-U.S. companies and non-U.S. persons, including company directors and officers, in certain emerging markets, including China. Additionally, our public shareholders may have limited rights and few practical remedies in emerging markets where we operate, as shareholder claims that are common in the United States, including class action securities law and fraud claims, generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in many emerging markets, including China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities. Although the local authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the security regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, the regulatory cooperation with the security regulatory authorities in the Unities States has not been efficient in the absence of a mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. According to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law which became effective in March 2020, no foreign security regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. Accordingly, without the consent of the competent PRC securities regulators and relevant authorities, no organization or individual may provide the documents and materials relating to securities business activities to foreign securities regulators.

As a result, 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 shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.

PRC regulation of loans to, and direct investments in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies may delay or prevent us from using proceeds from this offering and/or future financing activities to make loans or additional capital contributions to the VIE and its subsidiaries.

In July 2014, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, which replaces the previous SAFE Circular 75. SAFE Circular 37 requires PRC residents, including PRC individuals and PRC corporate entities, to register with SAFE or its local branches in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment activities. SAFE Circular 37 is applicable to our shareholders who are PRC residents and may be applicable to any offshore acquisitions that we may make in the future.

Under SAFE Circular 37, PRC residents who make, or have prior to the implementation of SAFE Circular 37 made, direct or indirect investments in offshore special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, are required to register such investments with SAFE or its local branches. In addition, any PRC resident who is a direct or indirect shareholder of an SPV,

27

Table of Contents

is required to update its registration with the local branch of SAFE with respect to that SPV, to reflect any material change. Moreover, any subsidiary of such SPV in China is required to urge the PRC resident shareholders to update their registration with the local branch of SAFE to reflect any material change. If any PRC resident shareholder of such SPV fails to make the required registration or to update the registration, the subsidiary of such SPV in China may be prohibited from distributing its profits or the proceeds from any capital reduction, share transfer or liquidation to the SPV, and the SPV may also be prohibited from making additional capital contributions into its subsidiaries in China. In February, 2015, SAFE promulgated a Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment, or SAFE Notice 13. Under SAFE Notice 13, applications for foreign exchange registration of inbound foreign direct investments and outbound direct investments, including those required under SAFE Circular 37, must be filed with qualified banks instead of SAFE. Qualified banks should examine the applications and accept registrations under the supervision of SAFE. We have used our best efforts to notify PRC residents or entities who directly or indirectly hold shares in our Cayman Islands holding company and who are known to us as being PRC residents to complete the foreign exchange registrations. However, we may not be informed of the identities of all the PRC residents or entities holding direct or indirect interest in our company, nor can we compel our beneficial owners to comply with SAFE registration requirements. We cannot assure you that all other shareholders or beneficial owners of ours who are PRC residents or entities have complied with, and will in the future make, obtain or update any applicable registrations or approvals required by, SAFE regulations. Failure by such shareholders or beneficial owners to comply with SAFE regulations, or failure by us to amend the foreign exchange registrations of the VIE and its subsidiaries, could subject us to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, and limit the VIE and its subsidiaries’ ability to pay service fees to us or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects.

Furthermore, as these foreign exchange and outbound investment related regulations are relatively new and their interpretation and implementation has been constantly evolving, it is unclear how these regulations, and any future regulation concerning offshore or cross-border investments and transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant government authorities. For example, we may be subject to a more stringent review and approval process with respect to our foreign exchange activities, such as remittance of dividends and foreign-currency-denominated borrowings, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We cannot assure you that we have complied or will be able to comply with all applicable foreign exchange and outbound investment related regulations. In addition, if we decide to acquire a PRC domestic company, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals or complete the necessary filings and registrations required by the foreign exchange regulations. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.

As an offshore holding company with the VIE and its subsidiaries, we may transfer funds to the VIE and its subsidiaries or finance the VIE and its subsidiaries by means of loans or capital contributions. Any capital contributions or loans that we, as an offshore entity, make to the VIE and its subsidiaries, including from the proceeds of this offering, are subject to the above PRC regulations. We may not be able to obtain necessary government registrations or approvals on a timely basis, if at all. If we fail to obtain such approvals or make such registration, our ability to make equity contributions or provide loans to the VIE and its subsidiaries or to fund their operations may be negatively affected, which may adversely affect their liquidity and ability to fund their working capital and expansion projects and meet their obligations and commitments. As a result, our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business may be negatively affected.

We must remit the offering proceeds to China before they may be used to benefit our business in China, and this process may take several months to complete.

The process for sending the proceeds from this offering back to China may take as long as six months after the closing of this offering. In utilizing the proceeds of this offering in the manner described in “Use of Proceeds” on page 61 of this prospectus, we may make additional capital contributions or loans to Galle WFOE and the VIE and its subsidiaries.

Any loans to Galle WFOE or the VIE and its subsidiaries are subject to PRC regulations. For example, loans by us to our subsidiary in China, which is foreign-invested enterprises, to finance its activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with SAFE.

28

Table of Contents

To remit the proceeds of the offering, we must take the following steps:

        First, we will open a special foreign exchange account for capital account transactions. To open this account, we must submit to SAFE certain application forms, identity documents, transaction documents, form of foreign exchange registration of overseas investments of the domestic residents, and foreign exchange registration certificate of the invested company. As of the date of this prospectus, we have already opened a special foreign exchange account for capital account transactions.

        Second, we will remit the offering proceeds into this special foreign exchange account.

        Third, we will apply for settlement of the foreign exchange. In order to do so, we must submit to SAFE certain application forms, identity documents, payment order to a designated person, and a tax certificate.

The timing of the process is difficult to estimate because the efficiencies of different SAFE branches can vary significantly. Ordinarily the process takes several months but is required by law to be accomplished within 180 days of application.

We may also decide to finance the VIE and its subsidiaries by means of capital contributions. These capital contributions must be approved by MOFCOM or its local counterpart. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain these government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future capital contributions by us to our subsidiaries. If we fail to receive such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds of this offering and to capitalize our Chinese operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business. If we fail to receive such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds of this offering and to capitalize our Chinese operations may be negatively affected, which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

Adverse changes in political and economic policies of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could reduce the demand for our products and services and materially and adversely affect our competitive position.

Substantially all of our business operations are conducted in China. Accordingly, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects are subject to economic, political and legal developments in China. Although the Chinese economy is no longer a planned economy, the PRC government continues to exercise significant control over China’s economic growth through direct allocation of resources, monetary and tax policies, and a host of other government policies such as those that encourage or restrict investment in certain industries by foreign investors, control the exchange between RMB and foreign currencies, and regulate the growth of the general or specific market.

From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. Any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory provisions and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in other legal systems. These uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into and could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

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 may have 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 unpredictability towards our contractual, property (including intellectual property) and procedural rights could adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.

These government involvements have been instrumental in China’s significant growth in the past 30 years. In response to the recent slowdown in global and Chinese economy growth, the PRC government has adopted policy measures aimed at stimulating the economic growth in China. If the PRC government’s current or future policies fail to help the Chinese economy achieve further growth or if any aspect of the PRC government’s policies limits the growth of our industry or otherwise negatively affects our business, our growth rate or strategy, our results of operations could be adversely affected as a result.

Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

All of our operations are located in China. Accordingly, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in China generally and by continued economic growth in China as a whole.

The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on our PRC operating subsidiaries, which in turn may affect our financial condition. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. In addition, in the past the Chinese government has implemented certain measures, including interest rate increases, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in China, and since 2012, China’s economic growth has slowed down. Any prolonged slowdown in the Chinese economy growth may reduce the demand for our products and services and materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our ordinary shares.

Our business is subject to governmental supervision and regulation by the relevant PRC governmental authorities, including but not limited to the State Administration for Market Regulation and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce. Together, these governmental authorities promulgate and enforce regulations that cover many aspects of our day-to-day operations. If we are deemed to be not in compliance with these requirements, we may be subject to fines and other administrative penalties from the relevant PRC government authorities. In case of our failure to rectify our noncompliance within required period by the relevant PRC government authorities, we may be forced to suspend our operation.

Existing and new laws and regulations may be enforced from time to time and substantial uncertainties exist regarding the interpretation and implementation of current and any future PRC laws and regulations applicable to us. If the PRC government promulgates new laws and regulations that impose additional restrictions on our operations, or tightens enforcements of existing or new laws or regulations, it has the authority, among other things, to levy fines, confiscate income, revoke business licenses, and require us to discontinue our relevant business or impose restrictions on the affected portion of our business. Any of these actions by the PRC government may have a material and adverse effect on our subsidiaries’ operations. As a result, our business, reputation, value of our ordinary shares, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We may lose the ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless if the Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers.

The recently issued Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on listings by China-based companies in foreign countries, and proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based companies listed in foreign countries, and provided that the special provisions of the State Council on offering and listing by those companies in foreign countries limited by shares will be revised and therefore the duties of domestic industry competent authorities

30

Table of Contents

and regulatory agencies will be clarified. As these opinions were newly issued and there are no further explanations or detailed rules and regulations with respect to such opinions, there are still uncertainties regarding the interpretation and implementation of such opinions. And new rules or regulations promulgated in future could impose additional requirements on us.

In addition, on July 10, 2021, the CAC issued a revised draft of the Cybersecurity Review Measures for public comments, according to which, among others, an “operator of critical information infrastructure” (“the CIIO”) or a “data processor”, who has personal information of more than one million users and is going to list in foreign countries, must report to the relevant cybersecurity review office for a cybersecurity review. On December 28, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China jointly with the relevant authorities formally published Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) which took effect on February 15, 2022 and replace the former Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2020). Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) stipulates that the CIIO purchasing network products and services, and online platform operator (together with the operators of critical information infrastructure, the “Operators”) carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, shall conduct a cybersecurity review, any online platform operator who controls more than one million users’ personal information must go through a cybersecurity review by the cybersecurity review office if it seeks to be listed in a foreign country. Since we are not an Operator, nor do we control more than one million users’ personal information, we would not be required to apply for a cybersecurity review under the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021).

However, if the CSRC or other relevant PRC regulatory agencies subsequently determine that prior approval is required, failure of obtaining such approval may lead us face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operation entities in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit our operations in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this Offering into China or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the Offering of the Shares.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “Resident Enterprise” of China. Such classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.

China passed the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, or the EIT Law, and its implementing rules, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008, and as amended in December 2018. Under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” meaning that it can be treated in a manner similar to a Chinese enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. The implementing rules of the EIT Law define de facto management as “substantial and overall management and control over the production and operations, personnel, accounting, and properties” of the enterprise.

On April 22, 2009, the State Administration of Taxation of China issued the Notice Concerning Relevant Issues Regarding Cognizance of Chinese Investment Controlled Enterprises Incorporated Offshore as Resident Enterprises pursuant to Criteria of de facto Management Bodies, or the Notice, further interpreting the application of the EIT Law and its implementation to offshore entities controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group. Pursuant to the Notice, an enterprise incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction and controlled by a Chinese enterprise or group will be classified as a “non-domestically incorporated resident enterprise” if (i) its senior management in charge of daily operations reside or perform their duties mainly in China; (ii) its financial or personnel decisions are made or approved by bodies or persons in China; (iii) its substantial assets and properties, accounting books, corporate stamps, board and shareholder minutes are kept in China; and (iv) all of its directors with voting rights or senior management reside in China. A resident enterprise would be subject to an enterprise income tax rate of 25% on its worldwide income and must pay a withholding tax at a rate of 10% when paying dividends to its non-PRC shareholders. Because substantially all of our operations and senior management are located within the PRC and are expected to remain so for the foreseeable future, we may be considered a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes and therefore subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on its worldwide income. However, it remains unclear as to whether the Notice is applicable to an offshore enterprise controlled by a Chinese natural person. Therefore, it is unclear how tax authorities will determine tax residency based on the facts of each case.

If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate

31

Table of Contents

of 25%. Currently, we do not have any non-China source income, as we conduct our sales in China. However, under the EIT Law and its implementing rules, dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiary would be deemed as “qualified investment income between resident enterprises” and therefore qualify as “tax-exempt income” pursuant to clause 26 of the EIT Law. Second, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which the dividends we pay with respect to our ordinary shares, or the gain our non-PRC shareholders may realize from the transfer of our ordinary shares, may be treated as PRC-sourced income and may therefore be subject to a 10% PRC withholding tax. The EIT Law and its implementing regulations are, however, relatively new and ambiguities exist with respect to the interpretation and identification of PRC-sourced income, and the application and assessment of withholding taxes. If we are required under the EIT Law and its implementing regulations to withhold PRC income tax on dividends payable to our non-PRC shareholders, or if non-PRC shareholders are required to pay PRC income tax on gains on the transfer of their ordinary shares, our business could be negatively impacted and the value of your investment may be materially reduced. Further, if we were treated as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both China and such countries in which we have taxable income, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against such other taxes.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption law.

In connection with this offering, we will become subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We are also subject to Chinese anti-corruption laws, which strictly prohibit the payment of bribes to government officials. We have operations agreements with third parties, and make sales in China, which may experience corruption. Our activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments.

Although we believe, to date, we have complied in all material respects with the provisions of the FCPA and Chinese anti-corruption law, our existing safeguards and any future improvements may prove to be less than effective, and the employees, consultants, or distributors may engage in conduct for which we might be held responsible. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption law may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system and changes in laws and regulations in China could adversely affect us.

We conduct all of our business through the VIE and its subsidiaries. Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. The Galle WFOE and the VIE and its subsidiaries are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.

Since 1979, PRC legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China, and the law and regulations are in the process of being continuously improved. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

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

32

Table of Contents

In utilizing the proceeds of this offering in the manner described in “Use of Proceeds” on page 61 of this prospectus, as an offshore holding company of our PRC operating subsidiaries, we may make loans to the VIE and its subsidiaries, or we may make additional capital contributions to the VIE and its subsidiaries.

Any loans to the VIE and its subsidiaries are subject to PRC regulations. For example, loans by us to our subsidiaries in China, which are foreign invested entities (“FIEs”), to finance their activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with SAFE. On March 30, 2015, SAFE promulgated Hui Fa 2015 No.19, a notice regulating the conversion by a foreign-invested company of foreign currency into RMB. The foreign exchange capital, for which the monetary contribution has been confirmed by the foreign exchange authorities (or for which the monetary contribution has been registered for account entry) in the capital account of a foreign-invested enterprise may be settled at a bank as required by the enterprise’s actual management needs. Foreign-invested enterprises with investment as their main business (including foreign-oriented companies, foreign-invested venture capital enterprises and foreign-invested equity investment enterprises) are allowed to, under the premise of authenticity and compliance of their domestic investment projects, carry out based on their actual investment scales direct settlement of foreign exchange capital or transfer the RMB funds in the foreign exchange settlement account for pending payment to the invested enterprises’ accounts.

On May 10, 2013, SAFE released Circular 21, which came into effect on May 13, 2013. According to Circular 21, SAFE has simplified the foreign exchange administration procedures with respect to the registration, account openings and conversions, settlements of FDI-related foreign exchange, as well as fund remittances.

Circular 21 may significantly limit our ability to convert, transfer and use the net proceeds from this offering and any offering of additional equity securities in China, which may adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business in the PRC.

We may also decide to finance our subsidiaries by means of capital contributions. These capital contributions must be approved by MOFCOM or its local counterpart, which usually takes no more than 30 working days to complete. We may not be able to obtain these government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future capital contributions by us to the VIE and its subsidiaries. If we fail to receive such approvals, we will not be able to capitalize our PRC operations, which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, our income is primarily derived from dividend payments from our PRC operation entities. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of the VIE and its subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy our currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our security-holders.

To the extent cash or assets in the business is in the PRC or Hong Kong or a PRC or Hong Kong entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC or Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of us or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets.

The transfer of funds and assets among Galle Cayman, its Hong Kong and Galle WFOE is subject to restrictions. The PRC government imposes controls on the conversion of the RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. See “Risk Factors — Governmental control of currency conversion may affect the value of your investment.” In addition, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax at a rate of 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises, unless reduced under treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and the governments

of other countries or regions where the non-PRC resident enterprises are tax resident. See “Risk Factors — We are a holding company and will rely on dividends paid by our subsidiaries and service fees paid by the VIE and its subsidiaries for our cash needs. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make dividend payments to us, any limitation on the ability of the VIE and its subsidiaries to pay the service fees to us, or any tax implications of making dividend payments to us, could limit our ability to pay our parent company expenses or pay dividends to holders of our ordinary shares.”

As of the date of this prospectus, there are no restrictions or limitations imposed by the Hong Kong government on the transfer of capital within, into and out of Hong Kong (including funds from Hong Kong to the PRC), except for the transfer of funds involving money laundering and criminal activities. However, there is no guarantee that the Hong Kong government will not promulgate new laws or regulations that may impose such restrictions in the future.

As a result of the above, to the extent cash or assets in the business is in the PRC or Hong Kong or a PRC or Hong Kong entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC or Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of us or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets.

Our business may be materially and adversely affected if the VIE and its subsidiaries declare bankruptcy or become subject to a dissolution or liquidation proceeding.

The Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of the PRC, or the Bankruptcy Law, came into effect on June 1, 2007. The Bankruptcy Law provides that an enterprise will be liquidated if the enterprise fails to settle its debts as and when they fall due and if the enterprise’s assets are, or are demonstrably, insufficient to clear such debts.

The VIE and its subsidiaries hold certain assets that are important to our business operations. If the VIE and its subsidiaries undergo a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.

Changes in the value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar, Euro and other foreign currencies are affected by, among other things, changes in China’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial condition, and the value of, and any dividends payable on our shares in U.S. dollar terms. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars we receive from our initial public offering into RMB for our operations, appreciation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on RMB amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our RMB into U.S. dollars for the purpose of paying dividends on our ordinary shares or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us. In addition, fluctuations of the RMB against other currencies may increase or decrease the cost of imports and exports, and thus affect the price-competitiveness of our products against products of foreign manufacturers or products relying on foreign inputs.

Since July 2005, the RMB is no longer pegged to the U.S. dollar. Although the People’s Bank of China regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to prevent significant short-term fluctuations in the exchange rate, the RMB may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the medium to long term. Moreover, it is possible that in the future PRC authorities may lift restrictions on fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate and lessen intervention in the foreign exchange market.

Increases in labor costs in the PRC may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The currently effective PRC Labor Contract Law, or the Labor Contract Law was first adopted on June 29, 2007 and later amended on December 28, 2012. The PRC Labor Contract Law has reinforced the protection of employees who, under the Labor Contract Law, have the right, among others, to have written employment contracts, to enter into employment contracts with no fixed term under certain circumstances, to receive overtime wages and to terminate or alter terms in labor contracts. Furthermore, the Labor Contract Law sets forth additional restrictions and increases the costs involved with dismissing employees. To the extent that we need to significantly reduce our workforce, the Labor Contract Law could adversely affect our ability to do so in a timely and cost-effective manner, and our

34

Table of Contents

results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, for employees whose employment contracts include noncompetition terms, the Labor Contract Law requires us to pay monthly compensation after such employment is terminated, which will increase our operating expenses.

We expect that our labor costs, including wages and employee benefits, will continue to increase. Unless we are able to pass on these increased labor costs to our buyers by increasing the prices of our products and services, our financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

Failure to make adequate contributions to various employee benefits plans as required by PRC regulations may subject us to penalties.

Pursuant to the Social Security Law of the PRC, or the Social Security Law, which was promulgated by the SCNPC on October 28, 2010 and amended on December 29, 2018, employers shall pay the basic pension insurance, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance for all eligible employees. The VIE and its subsidiaries have been making social security premium payments at least at the minimum wage level for all eligible employees.

In accordance with the Regulations on Management of Housing Provident Fund (the “Regulations of HPF”), which were promulgated by the PRC State Council on April 3, 1999, and last amended on March 24, 2002, employers must register at the designated administrative centers and open bank accounts for employees’ housing funds deposits. Employers and employees are also required to pay and deposit housing funds, in an amount no less than 5% of the monthly average salary of each of the employees in the preceding year in full and on time. The VIE and its subsidiaries have opened bank accounts for its employees’ housing funds deposits, and deposited housing funds at least at the minimum wage level for all eligible employees.

In respect of the social insurance, our PRC legal counsel has advised that, if an enterprise fails to pay the full amount of the social insurance contributions as legally required, the social insurance authority may order it to pay the outstanding amount of the social insurance contributions within a prescribed time limit and may impose a late fee at a daily rate of 0.05% of the outstanding amount, accruing from the date when the social insurance contributions were due. If the enterprise still fails to make such payment within the prescribed time, the social insurance authority may further impose an additional fine ranging from one to three times of the total outstanding balance. In respect of the housing provident fund, our PRC legal counsel has advised that, if an enterprise fails to pay the full amount of the housing provident fund contributions as legally required, the housing provident fund authority may order it to pay the outstanding amount of the housing provident fund within a prescribed time limit. If the enterprise still fails to make such payment within the prescribed time, the housing provident fund authority may apply for an order from the relevant people’s courts to make such payment. As of the date of this prospectus, the VIE and its subsidiaries have not received any notification from the PRC governmental authorities requiring us to pay any outstanding amount of the social insurance and housing provident fund contributions. The management believes that the likelihood the Company may be required to make these additional contributions is very low. In the event that the VIE and its subsidiaries are notified to make sufficient contributions, we have to pay the outstanding amount plus late fee or fines in relation to the underpaid employee benefits. The financial condition and results of operations of us and the VIE and its subsidiaries may be adversely affected.

We may become subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the PRC regarding privacy, data security, cybersecurity, and data protection. We may be liable for improper use or appropriation of personal information provided by our customers.

We may become subject to a variety of laws and regulations in the PRC regarding privacy, data security, cybersecurity, and data protection. These laws and regulations are continuously evolving and developing. The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to us are often uncertain and may be conflicting, particularly with respect to foreign laws. There are numerous laws and regulations regarding privacy and the collection, sharing, use, processing, disclosure, and protection of personal information and other user data. Such laws and regulations often vary in scope, may be subject to differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent among different jurisdictions.

We expect to obtain information about various aspects of our operations as well as regarding our employees and third parties. We also maintain information about various aspects of our operations as well as regarding our employees. The integrity and protection of our customer, employee and company data is critical to our business. Our customers and

35

Table of Contents

employees expect that we will adequately protect their personal information. We are required by applicable laws to keep strictly confidential the personal information that we collect, and to take adequate security measures to safeguard such information.

The PRC Criminal Law, as amended by its Amendment 7 (effective on February 28, 2009) and Amendment 9 (effective on November 1, 2015), prohibits institutions, companies and their employees from selling or otherwise illegally disclosing a citizen’s personal information obtained during the course of performing duties or providing services or obtaining such information through theft or other illegal ways. On November 7, 2016, the SCNPC issued the Cyber Security Law of the PRC, or Cyber Security Law, which became effective on June 1, 2017.

Pursuant to the Cyber Security Law, network operators must not, without users’ consent, collect their personal information, and may only collect users’ personal information necessary to provide their services. Providers are also obliged to provide security maintenance for their products and services and shall comply with provisions regarding the protection of personal information as stipulated under the relevant laws and regulations.

The Civil Code of the PRC (issued by the PRC National People’s Congress on May 28, 2020 and effective from January 1, 2021) provides main legal basis for privacy and personal information infringement claims under the Chinese civil laws. PRC regulators, including the CAC, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the MIIT, and the Ministry of Public Security, the MPS have been increasingly focused on regulation in the areas of data security and data protection.

The PRC regulatory requirements regarding cybersecurity are constantly evolving. For instance, various regulatory bodies in China, including the CAC, the MPS and the SAMR, have enforced data privacy and protection laws and regulations with varying and evolving standards and interpretations. In December 28, 2021, the Chinese government promulgated Cybersecurity Review Measures (2021) and came into effect on February 15, 2022, which replaced the Cybersecurity Review Measures (2020). According to the Cybersecurity Review Measures (2021), the CIIO, shall prejudge any possible risks to national security when purchasing network products and services which do or may affect national security and shall declare any network product or service that affects or may affect national security to the Office of Cybersecurity Review for cybersecurity review; online platform operator who possesses the personal information of more than one million users shall declare to the Office of Cybersecurity Review for cybersecurity review.

In November 2016, the SCNPC passed China’s first Cybersecurity Law (“CSL”), which became effective in June 2017. The CSL is the first PRC law that systematically lays out the regulatory requirements on cybersecurity and data protection, subjecting many previously under-regulated or unregulated activities in cyberspace to government scrutiny. The legal consequences of violation of the CSL include penalties of warning, confiscation of illegal income, suspension of related business, winding up for rectification, shutting down the websites, and revocation of business license or relevant permits. In April 2020, the CAC and certain other PRC regulatory authorities promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective in June 2020. On December 28, 2021, the CAC promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures (2021), which became effective on February 15, 2022. Cybersecurity Review Measures (2021) stipulates that, in addition to CIIOs, an online platform operator who possesses the personal information of more than 1 million users offering and listing abroad should also be subject to cybersecurity review. The Cybersecurity Review Measures (2021) further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities, including, among others, (i) the risk of illegal control, interference or destruction of critical information infrastructure brought about by the use of products and services; (ii) the harm caused by supply interruption of products and services to the business continuity of critical information infrastructure; (iii) the security, openness, transparency and diversity of sources of products and services, reliability of supply channels, and risks of supply interruption due to political, diplomatic, trade or other factors; (iv) the information on compliance with the PRC laws, administrative regulations and departmental rules by product and service providers; (v) the risks of theft, disclosure, damage, illegal use or cross-border transfer of core data, important data or large amounts of personal information; (vi) the risks of influence, control or malicious use of critical information infrastructure, core data, important data or large amounts of personal information by foreign governments after overseas listing; and (vii) other factors that may endanger critical information infrastructure security and national data security. CAC has said that under the proposed rules companies holding data on more than one million users must now apply for cybersecurity approval when seeking listings in other nations because of the risk that such data and personal information could be “affected, controlled, and maliciously exploited by foreign governments”. The cybersecurity review will also investigate the potential national security risks from overseas IPOs. We do not know

what regulations will be adopted or how such regulations will affect us and our listing on Nasdaq. In the event that the Cyberspace Administration of China determines that we are subject to these regulations, we may be required to delist from Nasdaq and we may be subject to fines and penalties. On June 10, 2021, the SCNPC promulgated the PRC Data Security Law, which took effect on September 1, 2021. The Data Security Law also sets forth the data security protection obligations for entities and individuals handling personal data, including that no entity or individual may acquire such data by stealing or other illegal means, and the collection and use of such data should not exceed the necessary limits The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, CSL and any other cybersecurity and related laws may limit the use and adoption of our products and services and could have an adverse impact on our business. Further, if the enacted version of the Cybersecurity Review Measures mandates clearance of cybersecurity review and other specific actions to be completed by companies like us, we face uncertainties as to whether such clearance can be timely obtained, or at all.

Under the Data Security Law enacted on September 1, 2021 and the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) implemented on February 15, 2022, since we are not an Operator, nor do we control more than one million users’ personal information, we would not be required to apply for a cybersecurity review by the CAC. However, if the CSRC, CAC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering and any follow-on offering, we may be unable to obtain such approvals and we may face sanctions by the CSRC, CAC or other PRC regulatory agencies for failure to seek their approval which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors and the securities currently being offered may substantially decline in value and be worthless.

On August 17, 2021, the State Council promulgated the Regulations on the Protection of the Security of Critical Information Infrastructure, or the Regulations, which took effect on September 1, 2021. The Regulations supplement and specify the provisions on the security of critical information infrastructure as stated in the Cybersecurity Review Measures. The Regulations provide, among others, that protection department of certain industry or sector shall notify the operator of the critical information infrastructure in time after the identification of certain critical information infrastructure.

On August 20, 2021, the SCNPC approved the Personal Information Protection Law (“PIPL”), which became effective on November 1, 2021. The PIPL regulates collection of personal identifiable information and seeks to address the issue of algorithmic discrimination. Companies in violation of the PIPL may be subject to warnings and admonishments, forced corrections, confiscation of corresponding income, suspension of related services, and fines. We had not collected identifiable or sensitive personal information of individual end-users, such as ID card numbers and real names, which means our potential access or exposure to customers’ personal information is limited. However, in the event we inadvertently access or become exposed to customers’ personal identifiable information, then we may face heightened exposure to the PIPL.

We cannot assure you that PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, would take the same view as we do, and there is no assurance that we can fully or timely comply with such laws. In the event that we are subject to any mandatory cybersecurity review and other specific actions required by the CAC, we face uncertainty as to whether any clearance or other required actions can be timely completed, or at all. Given such uncertainty, we may be further required to suspend our relevant business, shut down our website, or face other penalties, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

If we become directly subject to the recent scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business operations, this offering and our reputation and could result in a loss of your investment in our ordinary shares, especially if such matter cannot be addressed and resolved favorably.

Recently, U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear

37

Table of Contents

what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our Company, our business and this offering. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend the Company. This situation may be a major distraction to our management. If such allegations are not proven to be groundless, our Company and business operations will be severely hampered and your investment in our ordinary shares could be rendered worthless.

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. It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China.

We are a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and we conduct all of our operations in China and most of our assets are located in China. In addition, substantially all our senior executive officers reside within China, are physically there for a significant portion of each year, and are PRC nationals. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside mainland China. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws or those of any U.S. state.

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 U.S. 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 U.S. See “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” on page 60.

Our financial and operating performance may be adversely affected by general economic conditions, natural catastrophic events, epidemics, and public health crises that impact the wholesaling industry of electronic devices.

Our operating results will be subject to fluctuations based on general economic conditions, in particular those conditions that impact the wholesaling industry of electronic devices. Deterioration in economic conditions could cause decreases in both volume and reduce and/or negatively impact our short-term ability to grow our revenues. Further, any decreased collectability of accounts receivable or early termination of agreements due to deterioration in economic conditions could negatively impact our results of operations.

Our business is subject to the impact of natural catastrophic events such as earthquakes, floods or power outages, political crises such as terrorism or war, and public health crises, such as disease outbreaks, epidemics, or pandemics in the U.S. and global economies, our markets and business locations. Although the WHO declared on May 5, 2023, that the COVID-19 pandemic is no longer a “global health emergency”, the economic recovery affected by the pandemic is slow, economic growth momentum is insufficient, consumers’ expected incomes have decreased, and more and more attention has been paid to saving and rational consumption, and the consumption is weak, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be eliminated in the short term. Our buyers may experience financial distress, file for bankruptcy protection, go out of business, or suffer disruptions in their business due to the coronavirus outbreak; as a result, our revenues may be impacted. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and will include emerging information concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken by governments and private businesses to attempt to contain the coronavirus, but is likely to result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition at least for the near term.

Similarly, natural disasters, wars (including the potential of war), terrorist activity (including threats of terrorist activity), social unrest and heightened travel security measures instituted in response, and travel-related accidents, as well as geopolitical uncertainty and international conflict, will affect travel volume and may in turn have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, we may not be adequately prepared in contingency planning or recovery capability in relation to a major incident or crisis, and as a result, our operational continuity may be adversely and materially affected, which in turn may harm our reputation.

The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering.

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

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

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

On March 24, 2021, the SEC announced that it had adopted interim final amendments to implement congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the Act. The interim final amendments will apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report on Forms 10-K, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction. The SEC will implement a process for identifying such a registrant and any such identified registrant will be required to submit documentation to the SEC establishing that it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in that foreign jurisdiction, and will also require disclosure in the registrant’s annual report regarding the audit arrangements of, and governmental influence on, such a registrant.

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCAA by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading.

On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCAA, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, 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 HFCAA. 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 report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions.

On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it had signed a Statement of Protocol (the “SOP”) with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of China. The SOP, together with two protocol agreements governing inspections and investigations (together, the “SOP Agreement”), establishes a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based

39

Table of Contents

in mainland China and Hong Kong, as required under U.S. law. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong completely in 2022. The PCAOB Board vacated its previous 2021 determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainties and depends on a number of factors out of our and our auditor’s control. The PCAOB continues to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has also indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCAA if needed.

Our auditor, Kreit and Chiu CPA LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included 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 Kreit and Chiu CPA LLP’s compliance with applicable professional standards. Kreit and Chiu CPA LLP is headquartered in New York and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, with the last inspection in 2023. Therefore, we believe that, as of the date of this prospectus, our auditor is not subject to the determinations as to the inability to inspect or investigate registered firms completely announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021.

However, 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 approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission may be required in connection with this offering, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies requires an overseas special purpose vehicle formed for listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals 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.

We believe that the CSRC’s approval is not required for the listing and trading of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq in the context of this offering, given that: (i) our PRC subsidiary Galle WFOE was incorporated as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise by means of direct investment rather than 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 Galle WFOE has not merged or acquired of equity interest or assets of the VIE and its subsidiaries; (ii) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like ours under this prospectus are subject to the M&A Rules; and (iii) no provision in the M&A Rules clearly classifies contractual arrangements as a type of transaction subject to the M&A Rules.

However, there remains some uncertainties as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in the context of an overseas offering and its opinions summarized above are 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 relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do. If it is determined that CSRC approval is required for this offering, we may face sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies for failure to seek CSRC approval for this offering. These sanctions may include fines and penalties on our operations in the PRC, limitations on our operating privileges in the PRC, 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 PRC subsidiary, 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 our ordinary shares. Furthermore, the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies 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.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

If the PRC government deems that the contractual arrangements in relation to Galle., our VIE do not comply with PRC regulatory restrictions on foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct all operations through the VIE and its subsidiaries established in the PRC, including the VIE and the VIE’s Subsidiaries, Manya Galle, Yongya Galle, Galle (Jingdezhen), Hengya Galle, Galle (Jiangxi), DH Galle, Yingya Galle. We control and receive the economic benefits of our VIE through contractual arrangements. Our ordinary shares offered in this offering are shares of our offshore holding company instead of shares of the VIE and its subsidiaries in China. For a description of the share acquisitions, see “Corporate History and Structure — Contractual Arrangements and Equity Control.”

The VIE contributed 100% of the Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the VIE accounted for 100% of the consolidated total assets and total liabilities of the Company.

We rely on and expect to continue to rely on Galle WFOE’s contractual arrangements with the VIE to operate our business. These contractual arrangements, or the VIE Agreements, may not be as effective in providing us with control over our VIE as ownership of controlling equity interests would be in providing us with control over or enabling us to derive economic benefits from the operation of the VIE. Under the current VIE Agreements, as a legal matter, if the VIE or any of its shareholders executing the VIE Agreements fails to perform its, his or her respective obligations under these contractual arrangements, we may have to incur substantial costs and resources to enforce such arrangements, and rely on legal remedies available under PRC laws, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and claiming damages, which we cannot assure you will be effective. For example, if shareholders of a VIE were to refuse to transfer their equity interests in such variable interest entity to us or our designated persons when we exercise the purchase option pursuant to the VIE Agreements, we may have to take a legal action to compel them to fulfill their contractual obligations. If (i) the applicable PRC authorities invalidate the VIE Agreements for violation of PRC laws, rules and regulations, (ii) any VIE Entity or its shareholders terminate the relevant VIE Agreements (iii) any VIE Entity or its shareholders fail to perform their obligations under the VIE Agreements, or (iv) if these regulations change or are interpreted differently in the future, our business operations in China would be materially and adversely affected, and the value of your shares would substantially decrease or even become worthless. Further, if we fail to renew the VIE Agreements upon their expiration, we would not be able to continue our business operations unless the then current PRC law allows us to directly operate businesses in China.

In addition, if our VIE or all or part of its assets become subject to liens or rights of third-party creditors, we may be unable to continue some or all our business activities, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our VIE undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, its shareholders or unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all these assets, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business and our ability to generate revenues.

The VIE Agreements may not be as effective as direct ownership in providing us with control over our VIE. For example, our VIE and their shareholders could breach the VIE Agreements with us by, among other things, failing to conduct their operations in an acceptable manner or taking other actions that are detrimental to our interests. If we had direct ownership of our VIE, we would be able to exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors of our VIE, which in turn could implement changes, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management and operational level. However, under the current VIE Agreements, we rely on the performance by our VIE and their shareholders of their obligations under the contracts to exercise control over our VIE. The shareholders of our consolidated VIE may not act in the best interests of our company or may not perform their obligations under the VIE Agreements. Such risks exist throughout the period in which we intend to operate certain portions of our business through the VIE Agreements with our VIE.

If our VIE or their shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under the VIE Agreements, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend additional resources to enforce such contractual arrangements. For example, if the shareholders of our VIE refuse to transfer their equity interest in our VIE to us or our designee if we exercise the purchase option pursuant to the VIE Agreements, or if they otherwise act in bad faith toward us, then we may have to take legal actions to compel them to perform their contractual obligations. In addition, if any third parties claim any interest in such shareholders’ equity interests in our VIE, our ability to exercise shareholders’ rights or foreclose the share pledge according to the VIE Agreements may be impaired. If these or other disputes between the shareholders of our VIE and third parties were to impair our control over our VIE, our ability to consolidate the financial results of our VIE would be affected, which would in turn result in a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition.

In the opinion of our PRC legal counsel, Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, each of the VIE Agreements among Galle WFOE, our VIE and its shareholders governed by PRC laws are valid, binding and enforceable, and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect. However, our PRC legal counsel has also advised us that there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations, and rules. Accordingly, the PRC regulatory authorities may ultimately take a view that is contrary to the opinion of our PRC legal counsel. In addition, it is uncertain whether any new PRC laws or regulations relating to variable interest entity structures will be adopted or if adopted, what they would provide. PRC government authorities may deem that foreign ownership is directly or indirectly involved in our VIE’s shareholding structure. If our corporate structure and contractual arrangements are deemed by the MIIT or the MOFCOM or other regulators having competent authority to be illegal, either in whole or in part, we may lose control of our consolidated VIE and have to modify such structure to comply with regulatory requirements. However, there can be no assurance that we can achieve this without material disruption to our business.

Furthermore, if we, our VIE is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws or regulations, or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations or failures, including, without limitation:

        revoking the business license and/or operating licenses of Galle WFOE, or our VIE or VIE’s subsidiary;

        discontinuing or placing restrictions or onerous conditions on our operations through any transactions among Galle WFOE, or our VIE or our subsidiary;

        imposing fines, confiscating the income from Galle WFOE, or our VIE or VIE’s subsidiary, or imposing other requirements with which we or our VIE may not be able to comply;

        placing restrictions on our right to collect revenues;

        shutting down our servers or blocking our app/websites;

        requiring us to restructure our ownership structure or operations, including terminating the contractual arrangements with our VIE, deregistering the equity pledges of our VIE and conducting business divestitures, which in turn would affect our ability to consolidate, derive economic interests from, or exert effective control over our VIE or its subsidiary; or

        restricting or prohibiting our use of the proceeds of this offering to finance our business and operations in China.

        taking other regulatory or enforcement actions against us that could be harmful to our business.

The imposition of any of these penalties would result in a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business. In addition, it is unclear what impact the PRC government actions would have on us and on our ability to consolidate the financial results of Galle WFOE, or our VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements, if the PRC government authorities were to find our corporate structure and the VIE Agreements to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations. If the imposition of any of these government actions causes us to lose our right to direct the activities of the Galle WFOE, our VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries or our right to receive substantially all the economic benefits and residual returns from them and we are not able to restructure our ownership structure and operations in a satisfactory manner, we would no longer be able to consolidate the financial results of them in our consolidated financial statements. Either of these results, or any other significant penalties that might be imposed on us in this event, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The shareholders of the VIE may have actual or potential conflicts of interest with us, which may materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

As of the date of this prospectus, we are not aware of any conflicts between the shareholders of the VIE and us. However, the shareholders of the VIE may have actual or potential conflicts of interest with us in the future. These shareholders may refuse to sign or breach, or cause the VIE to breach, or refuse to renew, the VIE Agreements we have with them and the VIE, which would have a material and adverse effect on our ability to effectively exercise our contractual rights in the VIE and receive economic benefits from them. For example, the shareholders may be able to cause our agreements with the VIE to be performed in a manner adverse to us by, among other things, failing to remit payments due under the VIE Agreements to us on a timely basis. We cannot assure you that when conflicts of interest arise any or all of these shareholders will act in the best interests of the Company or such conflicts will be resolved in our favor. Currently, we do not have any arrangements to address potential conflicts of interest between these shareholders and our company. If we cannot resolve any conflict of interest or dispute between us and these shareholders, we would have to rely on legal proceedings, which could result in disruption of our business and subject us to substantial uncertainty as to the outcome of any such legal proceedings.

Our VIE Agreements are governed by PRC law. Accordingly, these contracts would be interpreted in accordance with PRC law, and any disputes would be resolved in accordance with PRC legal procedures.

Investors in our ordinary shares should be aware that they are purchasing equity in us rather than the VIE and its subsidiaries. All of our business and operations are conducted by the VIE and its subsidiaries in China. Although we have been advised by our PRC legal counsel, DOCVIT, that our VIE Agreements constitute valid and binding obligations enforceable against each party of such agreements in accordance with the terms, they may not be as effective in ensuring our interests in the VIE and its subsidiaries, as direct ownership. If the VIE and its subsidiaries or their respective shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under the VIE Agreements, we may incur substantial costs and expend substantial resources to enforce our rights. All of these VIE Agreements are governed by and interpreted in accordance with PRC laws, and disputes arising from the VIE Agreements will be resolved through arbitration or litigation in the PRC. However, there are differences in the legal system of PRC and other jurisdictions, such as the United States. There are very few precedents and little official guidance as to how the VIE Agreements in the context of a variable interest entity should be interpreted or enforced under PRC laws. There remain significant uncertainties regarding the outcome of arbitration or litigation. These uncertainties could limit our ability to enforce the VIE Agreements. In the event we are unable to enforce the VIE Agreements, or we experience significant delays or other obstacles in the process of enforcing these VIE Agreements, we may not be able to exert effective control over our affiliated entities and may lose control over the assets owned by our VIE. Our financial performance may be adversely and materially affected as a result, and we may not be eligible to consolidate the financial results of the VIE into our financial results.

Any failure by the VIE, or their shareholders to perform their obligations under the VIE Agreements with them would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We refer to the VIE’s shareholders as nominee shareholders. They remain the holders of equity interests on record, but they have irrevocably authorized an individual appointed by the Galle WFOE to exercise their shareholder rights in the relevant VIE. If either the VIE or their shareholders fail to honor the VIE Agreements, we may face significant costs and resource expenditure to enforce them. Our legal options would be, under PRC laws, seeking specific performance, injunctive relief, and claiming damages. However, we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of these remedies in the PRC. For instance, if the VIE shareholders refuse to transfer their equity interest to us — or our designee — upon exercising the purchase option pursuant to the VIE Agreements, or if they were otherwise to act in bad faith toward us, then, we may have to take legal actions to compel them to perform their contractual obligations.

All of the VIE Agreements are governed by PRC laws and specify that disputes will be resolved through arbitration in China. Therefore, these contracts will be interpreted based on PRC laws, and disputes will be settled according to PRC legal procedures. The PRC legal system has some differences with other jurisdictions like the United States. As a result, these differences in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these contracts. There are very few precedents and limited guidance on how contractual arrangements for a consolidated variable interest entity should be interpreted or enforced under PRC laws, which adds to the uncertainty. Moreover, arbitration awards in the PRC

43

Table of Contents

are final, and parties can’t appeal unless a competent court revokes the award or declares it unenforceable. If we can’t enforce the arbitration awards within a certain time limit, we then have to go through additional arbitration award recognition proceedings in the PRC courts, which will let us incur further expenses and delays. If we fail to enforce the VIE Agreements or encounter significant delays or obstacles in the enforcement process, we may lose our primary beneficiary status over our consolidated VIE, negatively affecting our business operations.

The VIE Agreements in relation to the VIE may be subject to scrutiny by the PRC tax authorities and they may determine that we or the VIE owe additional taxes, which could negatively affect our financial condition and the value of your investment.

Under applicable PRC laws and regulations, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the PRC tax authorities within 10 years after the taxable year when the transactions are conducted. We could face material and adverse tax consequences if the PRC tax authorities determine that the VIE Agreements were not entered into on an arm’s length basis in such a way as to result in an impermissible reduction in taxes under applicable PRC laws, rules, and regulations, and adjust the income of the VIE in the form of a transfer pricing adjustment. A transfer pricing adjustment could, among other things, result in a reduction of expense deductions recorded by the VIE for PRC tax purposes, which could in turn increase their tax liabilities without reducing the VIE and its subsidiaries’ tax expenses. In addition, the PRC tax authorities may impose late payment fees and other penalties on the VIE for the adjusted but unpaid taxes according to the applicable regulations. Our financial position could be materially and adversely affected if the tax liabilities of the VIE increase or if they are required to pay late payment fees and other penalties.

We may lose the ability to use, or otherwise benefit from, the licenses, approvals and assets held by the VIE, which could severely disrupt our business, render us unable to conduct some or all of our business operations and constrain our growth.

We rely on VIE Agreements with the VIE to use, or otherwise benefit from, certain foreign restricted licenses and permits that we need or may need in the future as our business continues to expand, such as the internet content provider license, held by one of the VIE.

The VIE Agreements contain terms that specifically obligate the VIE’s shareholders to ensure the valid existence of the VIE and restrict the disposal of material assets of the VIE. However, in the event the VIE’s shareholders breach the terms of the VIE Agreements and voluntarily liquidate the VIE, or the VIE declare bankruptcy and all or part of their assets become subject to liens or rights of third-party creditors, we may be unable to conduct some or all of our business operations or otherwise benefit from the assets held by the VIE, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, and results of operations. Furthermore, if the VIE undergo a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, their shareholders or unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all the assets of the VIE, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business and constrain our growth.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our historical growth rates and performance may not be sustainable or indicative of our future growth and financial results. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to maintain the growth rate we have experienced to date.

Over the past few years, we have experienced rapid growth through the continuous expansion of our electronic devices trading business. We recorded a total revenue of approximately $104.0 million and $77.0 million for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. However, our historical performance may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results. We cannot assure you that we will be able to grow at the same rate as we did in the past, or avoid any decline in the future. Our growth may slow or become negative, and revenues may decline for a number of possible reasons, some of which are beyond our control, including decreasing consumer spending, increasing competition, declining growth of our overall market or industry, the emergence of alternative business models and changes in rules, regulations, government policies or general economic conditions. It is difficult to evaluate our prospects, as we may not have sufficient experience in addressing the risks to which companies operating in rapidly evolving markets may be exposed. If our growth rate declines, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Table of Contents

The success of our business relies on retaining existing customers and attracting new ones.

Our customer retention and growth rates, as well as the level of business and revenue contribution from our customers, may be negatively impacted under several circumstances:

        If we set prices for our goods and services that are not acceptable to our customers or are not marginally viable, our customers will increasingly tend to purchase from platforms or service providers that compete with us, as customers are generally price sensitive.

        If there are changes in customer preferences regarding the quality or functionality of our products and services and we are unable to update products and services to meet their demands, our customers will be less likely to continue using our products and services, which could negatively impact our customer retention rate and our overall revenue.

        If there is adverse public opinion about us and other companies in our industry, this could damage our reputation and make it more difficult for us to attract new customers. It could also lead to decreased customer retention and lower sales.

If we are unable to retain existing customers or attract new customers, or if customers reduce their level of business resulting in lower revenues, our financial condition and business operations could be affected. In addition, declines in customer retention, growth, or their level of business with us could prevent us from sourcing goods from our suppliers at current or more favorable prices, which could materially and adversely affect our supply chain capabilities, business prospects, and competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Our business is dependent on our key supplier and changes or difficulties in our relationship with the key supplier may harm our business and financial results.

The concentration of our supplier exposes us to substantial risks, as we rely on the key supplier to provide high-demand electronic devices. Failure to appropriately structure or adequately manage our agreements with the supplier could adversely affect our product supply. In the event of disruptions, replacing the supplier within a reasonable period and on favorable terms may be challenging. Any adverse changes to our relationship with the key supplier could significantly impact our image, brand, and reputation, as well as our overall business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Fluctuations in product prices can significantly impact our profitability and potentially result in losses.

The pricing of electronic devices, particularly high-demand items like the Apple mobile devices, can experience substantial volatility, with daily price variations reaching significant levels. If we procure goods from our suppliers at a higher cost, but the market experiences a decline in product prices, it can affect our profit margins, and we may even incur losses.

Our business operations may be subject to seasonality.

Our results from operations are affected by seasonal fluctuations in demand for our products. The sales of our Apple-branded mobile devices exhibit clear seasonality, driven by the annual release of new iPhone models in the month when the new iPhone launches and heightened demand during key holiday events. The back-to-school season also boosts sales. However, off-peak periods in the early months and mid-summer witness lower demand, impacting financial performance. Similar seasonality patterns exist for Xiaomi Smartphones, while air conditioner sales peak in summer. If our management fails to make accurate market forecasts and seize opportunities to procure devices when prices are low, adverse effects on our performance may occur.

Risks associated with the manufacturers of the products we hold as our own inventory could significantly and adversely impact our financial performance, as well as our reputation and brand.

We rely on our ability to promptly and efficiently provide our customers with a broad range of products from qualified suppliers. Various factors beyond our control can influence this process, including political and economic instability, global or regional adverse conditions such as pandemics or other disease outbreaks, and natural disasters. Additionally, the financial stability of our suppliers, their ability to meet our standards, labor issues they may encounter, the availability and cost of raw materials, concerns about merchandise quality, currency exchange rates, trade tariff developments, transport availability and cost (including import-related taxes), transport security, inflation, and other factors related to our suppliers, all have potential impacts on our operations.

45

Table of Contents

Furthermore, we place reliance on our suppliers’ representations of product quality, safety, and compliance with applicable laws and standards. If our suppliers or other vendors violate these laws or regulations, our supplier code of conduct, or engage in practices deemed unethical, unsafe, or harmful to the environment, it could tarnish our reputation and negatively affect our operational results. Additionally, concerns about the safety and quality of products supplied by our vendors may lead customers to refrain from purchasing these products from us, or even avoid purchasing any of our products, even if the cause of concern is beyond our control. Therefore, any issues or perceived issues related to the quality and safety of the items we sell, regardless of the underlying cause, have the potential to adversely affect our brand, reputation, operations, and financial results.

The development of manufacturers’ online and offline stores, including experience stores, could lead to a decrease in our sales and operating results, limiting our ability to grow our business.

End customers may increasingly choose to purchase products directly from manufacturers’ online and offline stores, including experience stores, resulting in a reduction in our net sales and earnings. In addition, our suppliers might invest in infrastructure to expand their local sales operations and directly offer more products to our customers, which would also have a negative impact on our business.

Product issues may trigger liability claims, recalls, regulatory actions, and harm our financial health by diverting resources, disrupting operations, and increasing costs.

We may encounter issues or defects with products that could result in product liability claims, personal injury or property damage claims, recalls, product withdrawals, or regulatory actions by governmental authorities. Any of these occurrences could lead to increased governmental scrutiny, damage to our reputation, reduced customer trust in our products. Such outcomes may divert development and management resources, negatively impact our business operations, reduce sales, increase legal fees and other costs, and place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to companies not facing similar product-related issues. These consequences could significantly affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends on the continuing efforts of our senior management and key employees.

Our future success significantly depends on the continued dedication of our senior management and other key personnel within the sales team. If we were to lose their commitment, identifying suitable replacements could be challenging and might result in additional expenses for recruitment and training, potentially causing considerable disruption to our business and growth. Our founder, as well as the individual serving as our chief executive officer, along with other essential members of our management team, play pivotal roles in shaping our vision, strategic direction, organizational culture, and overall business achievements. Any modifications to the internal organizational structure or changes in responsibilities for our management and key personnel, or the potential unavailability or unwillingness of one or more senior management members to continue in their current roles, could adversely affect our business operations and prospects. In addition, our employees, including those in management roles, may choose alternative career paths. Failing to effectively motivate and retain these key employees could disrupt our business and have a negative impact on our prospects. There is no guarantee that our management team won’t explore opportunities with our competitors or initiate competing ventures.

Our failure to effectively manage our business expansion, including entry into new areas of business, would significantly impact our results of operations and prospects.

We have previously invested in business expansion to align with our development strategy, primarily through organic growth. Additionally, we may, as we see fit, expand into new industries that we believe are synergistic with our existing operations. These expansion efforts have placed substantial demands on our resources. Managing our growth and integrating acquired businesses necessitates various actions, including:

        Complying with applicable laws, regulations, and policies for the acquired businesses, including obtaining timely approvals required by relevant PRC laws;

        Maintaining control over our business expansion to prevent issues like service delays or cost overruns;

        Building expertise and experience in managing new businesses;

46

Table of Contents

        Establishing market acceptance for new products and services, and forging relationships with new customers and suppliers;

        Managing relationships with employees, customers, and business partners throughout our expansion and integration efforts;

        Attracting, training, and motivating our management team and a qualified workforce to support successful business expansion;

        Securing debt, equity, or other capital resources for funding business expansion, which may divert financial resources intended for other purposes;

        Devoting significant management attention and resources away from our other existing businesses; and

        Enhancing our operational, financial, and management controls to ensure the reliability of our reporting processes.

Any significant challenges in meeting these requirements could delay or limit our ability to execute expansion plans, resulting in the failure to realize expected benefits from combinations, acquisitions, or write-offs of acquired assets or investments. Such failures could hinder our capacity to enhance operational efficiency, reduce marginal manufacturing costs, or strengthen our market position. Failure to achieve the intended economic benefits from business expansion could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. Moreover, our expansion plans may yield mixed results in the short term.

Damage to our brand image could significantly and adversely affect our growth strategy, as well as our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

The maintenance and enhancement of our brand are crucial for expanding our customer base and business reach. Our ability to uphold and boost our brand primarily hinges on our capacity to consistently provide high-quality products and services to customers, meeting their needs promptly and without any harm to end customers. If customers do not have a satisfactory experience with our products and services, they may turn to alternative options offered by our competitors.

Customer complaints or negative publicity related to our marketplace, products, delivery times, company practices, employees, customer data handling and security, or customer support, particularly on social media platforms, can swiftly lead to harm to our brand.

Our business may require significant capital investments, which might not always be obtainable at favorable terms. Failing to execute our strategy, including growth initiatives, could harm our financial health, operations, and cash flows.

To meet our capital needs, we may have to seek external financing, such as bank loans, bond offerings, and other financial instruments, particularly when the cash generated from our operations is insufficient to cover our capital expenditures or if those expenditures exceed our plans. Our ability to secure external financing at reasonable costs and on acceptable terms is contingent upon several factors, including our credit ratings, financial market conditions, and our historical or projected financial performance. Rating agencies may downgrade our ratings, withdraw them, or place us on ‘credit watch’ based on their evaluation of various factors. For instance, the recording of net losses can result in a deterioration of our credit ratings.

In the year ending June 30, 2023, we recorded a net operating cash flow out of $4,141,550, compared to $17,907,376 in the same period in 2022. We might incur losses in the future, which could adversely affect our corporate ratings, increase borrowing costs, and restrict access to capital markets. Other factors that could be viewed negatively by rating agencies, such as a significant decrease in the market price of our products, a substantial increase in our debt levels, or negative developments in our ongoing or planned projects, could also impact our corporate ratings. Additionally, significant volatility and disruption in financial markets might reduce liquidity and credit availability for borrowers and lead to increased interest rates or other financing costs.

Failure to secure sufficient funding at reasonable costs and on acceptable terms for our development plans could result in delays, scope reductions, or the elimination of future activities and growth initiatives, which would adversely affect our business and prospects.

Table of Contents

Our future financial performance and success largely depend on our ability to effectively implement our business strategy. There may be challenges in successfully executing this strategy and continuously improving our operating results.

We may not achieve the benefits we expect from future investments and acquisitions, and our operations may be materially adversely affected by such activities.

Our intention is to make equity investments in or acquire businesses that we believe will complement our existing operations or enhance the customer experience. While we anticipate that these initiatives will yield long-term benefits, these decisions may have adverse effects on our short- or medium-term operating results. Moreover, if the businesses we acquire or invest in fail to realize the expected synergies or do not generate the financial and operational advantages we anticipate, our investments and acquisitions may not align with our business strategy or produce sufficient revenues to offset the associated costs.

Investments and acquisitions pose financial, managerial, and operational challenges. They can involve difficulties in integrating our operations with the acquired businesses, potential disruptions to our ongoing operations, diversion of management attention, and risks associated with introducing new products and services or entering different markets.

Given our limited experience in these new businesses and services, there may be challenges in generating adequate revenue or value to justify our investments. Customer response to our new services and solutions may not be favorable, potentially harming our public image, market reputation, and overall business.

New lines of business or new products and services may subject us to additional risks.

From time to time, we may implement new lines of business or offer new products and services within existing lines of business. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets are not fully developed. In developing and marketing new lines of business and/or new services, we may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and/or new services may not be achieved, and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business or a new product or service. Furthermore, any new line of business and/or new service could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business or new services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We primarily engage in the trading of electronic devices. Factors that adversely affect the electronic device industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from the sale of social consumer goods in China, primarily smartphones and home appliances. As a result, factors that adversely affect social consumer goods manufacturers or the social consumer goods manufacturing industry could also materially and adversely affect our customers’ business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, subsequently impacting their orders with us. These factors include, among others:

        A decline in demand for, negative perception of, or negative publicity about electronic devices.

        A downturn in general economic conditions in China or a decline in demand from Chinese electronic devices and home appliances customers.

        Increasing competition from electronic devices manufacturers in other countries.

        The reduction or elimination of preferential tax treatments and economic incentives for electronic devices manufacturers in China.

        Rising material and labor costs in China related to electronics manufacturing.

The industries in which we operate are highly competitive and fragmented, we may not be able to maintain or may lose market share and customers if we fail to compete effectively.

The markets in which we operate are fragmented and highly competitive. Our competition includes other distributors and manufacturers that sell products directly to their respective customer base. We also expect that new competitors may develop over time as internet-based enterprises become more established and reliable and refine their service capabilities. Competition varies depending on product line, customer classification and geographic area.

We compete with a number of local and regional distributors and, in several markets and product categories, other national distributors. Several of our competitors in one or more of our business units have substantially greater financial and other resources than us. No assurance can be given that we will be able to respond effectively to such competitive pressures. Increased competition by existing and future competitors could result in reductions in sales, prices, volumes, and gross margins that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to maintain our market share and gain market share from competitors.

Some of our current or future competitors may have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, better supplier relationships, larger customer bases, higher penetration in certain regions or greater financial, technical or marketing resources than we do. Those smaller companies or new entrants may be acquired by, receive investment from or enter into strategic relationships with well-established and well-financed companies or investors which would help enhance their competitive positions. Some of our competitors may be able to secure more favorable terms from suppliers, we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, and competitive pressures may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Dependence on China’s economic situation and consumer spending heavily influences our industry’s well-being, as economic fluctuations and various market trends, along with China’s unique conditions, can significantly impact our business.

The overall well-being of our industry hinges on China’s economic situation and consumer spending. Factors like a slowdown in economic growth, impacting consumer purchasing power, may reduce our customer base, potentially affecting our financial performance. Various market trends, such as fluctuating consumer demand due to economic and demographic conditions or low confidence levels during recessions, can impact us.

Furthermore, China’s unique political, economic, and social conditions, with government involvement, development disparities, foreign exchange controls, and resource allocation differences, can significantly affect our business. Economic sensitivity to global conditions and ongoing international market turbulence may further challenge our financial stability and access to capital markets.

If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately or timely report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our ordinary shares may be materially and adversely affected.

Prior to this offering, we were a private company with limited accounting personnel. During the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The identified material weaknesses are as follows:

(i)     The lack of adequate policies and procedures in the control environment, risk assessment, and control activities to ensure that our control objectives have been carried out as planned.

(ii)    A segregation of duties issue exists as accounting personnel have the ability in the accounting system to prepare, review, and post the same accounting journal entry.

(iii)   Insufficient full-time employees with the necessary levels of accounting expertise and knowledge to compile and analyze consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. GAAP and address complex accounting issues under U.S. GAAP.

49

Table of Contents

We are currently in the process of implementing several measures to address the material weaknesses identified. However, we cannot assure you that these measures will be sufficient to remediate our material weaknesses in time, or at all. Additionally, we cannot assure you that we have identified all material weaknesses or that we will not have additional ones in the future. Our failure to remediate the material weakness or our failure to discover and address any other material weakness could result in inaccuracies in our consolidated financial statements and impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could significantly hinder our ability to prevent fraud.

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

During the course of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, we may identify material weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has defined a material weakness as “a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.”

In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. Generally speaking, if we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations and lead to a decline in the trading price of our ordinary shares. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud, misuse of corporate assets and legal actions under the United States securities laws and subject us to potential delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market, to regulatory investigations and to civil or criminal sanctions.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

We may face challenges in protecting and enforcing our trademarks and trade names, as well as establishing name recognition in our target markets, potentially harming our competitive position.

The trademarks and trade names we own, whether registered or unregistered, could be subject to challenges, infringements, circumventions, declarations of generic status, lapses, or determinations of infringement or dilution by other marks. Protecting our rights in these trademarks and trade names is essential for building name recognition. Furthermore, third parties have, and may continue to, seek registration of trademarks similar or identical to our own, potentially hindering our ability to establish a distinct brand identity and causing market confusion. If they succeed in registering or establishing common law rights in such trademarks, and we are unable to successfully challenge these rights, we may be unable to use these trademarks to create brand recognition for our technologies, products, or services.

Additionally, there may be potential trade name or trademark infringement claims filed by owners of other registered trademarks or trademarks that incorporate variations of our registered or unregistered trademarks or trade names. Furthermore, we may, in the future, enter into agreements with owners of such third-party trade names or trademarks to avoid potential trademark litigation, which could limit our ability to use our trade names or trademarks in certain areas of business.

If the VIE and its subsidiaries are not able to adequately protect their proprietary intellectual property and information and protect against third party allegations, harassment, or other detrimental conduct, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

The value of the VIE and its subsidiaries’ business depends in part on their ability to protect their intellectual property and information, including their trademarks, domain names, copyrights, and rights under agreements with third parties, in China and around the world, as well as their customer, employee, and customer data. Third parties may try to challenge their ownership of their intellectual property globally. In addition, intellectual property rights and protections in China may be insufficient to protect material intellectual property rights in China. Further, the VIE and its subsidiaries’ business is subject to the risk of third parties counterfeiting their products or infringing on their intellectual property rights. The steps they have taken may not prevent unauthorized use of their intellectual property. They may need to resort to litigation to protect their intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. If they fail to protect their proprietary intellectual property and information, including with respect to any successful challenge to their ownership of intellectual property or material infringements of their intellectual property, this failure could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Third parties may assert that the VIE and its subsidiaries’ employees or contractors have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information or misappropriated trade secrets, which could result in litigation.

The VIE and its subsidiaries may employ individuals who previously worked with other companies, including their competitors or potential competitors. Although the VIE and its subsidiaries try to ensure that their employees and contractors do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their works, the VIE and its subsidiaries may be subject to claims that they or their employees or contractors have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed intellectual property or personal data, including trade secrets or other proprietary information, of a former employer or other third party. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If the VIE and its subsidiaries fail in defending any such claims or settling those claims, in addition to paying monetary damages or a settlement payment, they may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if they are successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees.

We may incur liabilities that are not covered by insurance.

We do not have insurances that cover, among other things, product or business liability and other property damage and liability deriving from our activities. Furthermore, insurance companies in China currently do not offer as extensive an array of insurance products as insurance companies in more developed economies. We have determined that the costs of insuring for these risks and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. If we were to incur substantial losses or liabilities due to fire, explosions, floods, other natural disasters or accidents or business interruption, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We could, for example, be subject to substantial claims for damages upon the occurrence of several events within one calendar year.

Regulatory actions, legal proceedings and customer complaints against us could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Along with growth and expansion of our business, we may be involved in litigation, regulatory proceedings and other disputes arising outside the ordinary course of our business. Such litigation and disputes may result in claims for actual damages, freezing of our assets, diversion of our management’s attention and reputational damage to us and our management, as well as legal proceedings against our directors, officers or employees, and the probability and amount of liability, if any, may remain unknown for long periods of time. Given the uncertainty, complexity and scope of many of these litigation matters, their outcome generally cannot be predicted with any reasonable degree of certainty. Therefore, our reserves for such matters may be inadequate. Moreover, even if we eventually prevail in these matters, we could incur significant legal fees or suffer significant reputational harm.

Risks Related to the Offering and Our Ordinary Shares

The trading price of the ordinary shares is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

Recently, there have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with a number of recent initial public offerings, especially among companies with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalized company with relatively small public float after this offering, we may experience greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalized companies. In particular, our ordinary shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices due to factors beyond our control. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our ordinary shares. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, including the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in China that have listed their securities in the United States. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for the ordinary shares may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:

        variations in our revenues, earnings, cash flow;

        fluctuations in operating metrics;

        announcements of new investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures by us or our competitors;

        announcements of new solutions and services and expansions by us or our competitors;

        termination or non-renewal of contracts or any other material adverse change in our relationship with our key customers or strategic investors;

        changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

        detrimental negative publicity about us, our competitors or our industry;

        additions or departures of key personnel;

        release of lockup or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities;

        regulatory developments affecting us or our industry; and

        potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which the ordinary shares will trade. Furthermore, the stock market in general experiences price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies like us. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. Volatility or a lack of positive performance in our ordinary shares price may also adversely affect our ability to retain key employees, most of whom have been granted share incentives.

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

In the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against companies following periods of instability in the market price of their 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 and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. 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.

We may experience extreme stock price volatility, including any stock-run up, unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our ordinary shares.

In addition to the risks addressed above in “— The trading price of the ordinary shares is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors,” our ordinary shares may be subject to extreme volatility that is seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of our business. In particular, our ordinary shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices, given that we will have relatively small public floats after this offering. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects.

Holders of our ordinary shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our ordinary shares. Furthermore, the potential extreme volatility may confuse the public investors of the value of our stock, distort the market perception of our stock price and our company’s financial performance and public image, negatively affect the long-term liquidity of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual or expected operating performance. If we encounter such volatility, including any rapid stock price increases and declines seemingly unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, it will likely make it difficult and confusing for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our ordinary shares and understand the value thereof.

We have not paid dividends to our shareholders. And we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our stock. We have been retaining funds for our business operation and expansion. We anticipate that we will retain any earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Therefore, we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on a number of factors, including future earnings, capital requirements, financial conditions and future prospects and other factors the board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our ordinary shares if we are successfully listed and the market price of our ordinary shares increases.

For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the requirement to 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 in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We are currently utilizing or intend to utilize both of these exemptions. We have not made a decision whether to take advantage of any other exemptions available to emerging growth companies. We do not know if some investors will find our ordinary shares less attractive as a result of our utilization of these or other exemptions. The result may be a less active trading market for our ordinary shares and our share price may be more volatile.

53

Table of Contents

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We prepare our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and International Accounting Standards and Interpretations as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union, which do not have separate provisions for publicly traded and private companies. However, in the event we convert to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) while we are still an “emerging growth company”, we may be able to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (a) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (b) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, (c) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the preceding three-year period or (d) the last day of our fiscal year containing the fifth anniversary of the date on which our shares become publicly traded in the United States.

As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to certain U.S. securities law disclosure requirements that apply to a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limit the information publicly available to our shareholders.

As a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and therefore there may be less publicly available information about us than if we were a U.S. domestic issuer. For example, we are not subject to the proxy rules in the United States and disclosure with respect to our annual general meetings will be governed by Cayman Islands’ requirements. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder. Therefore, our shareholders may not know on a timely basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell our ordinary shares.

Our compensation of directors and officers may not be publicly available.

Under Cayman Islands law, our company is not required to disclose compensation paid to our senior management on an individual basis and our company has not otherwise publicly disclosed this information elsewhere. The executive officers, directors and management of our company receive fixed and variable compensation. They also receive benefits in line with market practice. The fixed component of their compensation is set on market terms and adjusted annually. The variable component consists of cash bonuses and awards of shares (or the cash equivalent). Cash bonuses are paid to executive officers and members of management based on previously agreed targets for the business. Shares (or the cash equivalent) are awarded under share options.

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 shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.

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.

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

54

Table of Contents

on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, certain ordinary share issuances. We intend to comply with the requirements of the Nasdaq Listed Company Manual in determining whether shareholder approval is required on such matters and to appoint a nominating and corporate governance committee. However, we may consider following home country practice in lieu of the requirements under the Nasdaq Listed Company Manual with respect to certain corporate governance standards which may afford less protection to investors.

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

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

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and divert management’s attention.

As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of the securities exchange on which we list, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Despite recent reforms made possible by the JOBS Act, compliance with these rules and regulations will nonetheless increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs and investor relations and public relations costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results as well as proxy statements.

As a result of disclosure of information in this prospectus and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and operating results could be harmed, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and adversely affect our business, brand and reputation and results of operations.

We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

There can be no assurance we will not be a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), for any taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. investors in our ordinary shares or Warrants.

In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income or (ii) 50% or more of the average value of its assets (generally determined on a quarterly basis) consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. For purposes of the above calculations, we will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, 25% (by value) of the stock.

55

Table of Contents

Based upon the manner in which we currently operate our business, the expected composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets, we do not expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, this is a factual determination that must be made annually after the close of each taxable year, and the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects. The value of our assets for purposes of the PFIC determination will generally be determined by reference to the market price of our ordinary shares, which could fluctuate significantly. In addition, our PFIC status will depend on the manner we operate our workspace business (and the extent to which our income from workspace membership continues to qualify as active for PFIC purposes). Because of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance we will not be a PFIC for the current taxable year, or will not be a PFIC in the future.

If we were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. investor owns our ordinary shares or Warrants, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to such U.S. investor. See “Taxation — United States Federal Income Taxation — Passive Foreign Investment Company” on page 134 of this prospectus.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from our initial public offering and may not use them effectively.

To the extent (i) we raise more money than required for the purposes explained in the section titled “Use of Proceeds” on page 61 of this prospectus or (ii) we determine that the proposed uses set forth in that section are no longer in the best interests of our Company, we cannot specify with any certainty the particular uses of such net proceeds that we will receive from our initial public offering. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of such net proceeds, including working capital, possible acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes, and we may spend or invest these proceeds in a way with which our shareholders disagree. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business and financial condition. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from our initial public offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

The price of the ordinary shares and other terms of this offering have been determined by us along with our Underwriters.

If you purchase our ordinary shares in this offering, you will pay a price that was not established in a competitive market. Rather, you will pay a price that was determined by us along with our Underwriters. The offering price for our ordinary shares may bear no relationship to our assets, book value, historical results of operations or any other established criterion of value. The trading price, if any, of the ordinary shares that may prevail in any market that may develop in the future, for which there can be no assurance, may be higher or lower than the price you paid for our ordinary shares.

The obligation to disclose information publicly may put us at a disadvantage to competitors that are private companies.

Upon completion of this offering, we will be a public company in the United States. As a public company, we will be required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon the occurrence of matters that are material to our Company and shareholders. Although we may be able to attain confidential treatment of some of our developments, in some cases, we will need to disclose material agreements or results of financial operations that we would not be required to disclose if we were a private company. Our competitors may have access to this information, which would otherwise be confidential. This may give them advantages in competing with our Company. Similarly, as a U.S. public company, we will be governed by U.S. laws that our competitors, which are mostly private Chinese companies, are not required to follow. To the extent compliance with U.S. laws increases our expenses or decreases our competitiveness against such companies, our public company status could affect our results of operations.

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares if the shares are successfully listed on the Nasdaq or other stock markets, as the future sale of a substantial amount of outstanding ordinary shares in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our ordinary shares.

The market price of our ordinary shares could decline as a result of sales of substantial amounts of our shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur. In addition, these factors could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of our ordinary shares. An aggregate of            ordinary shares will be outstanding before the consummation of this offering all of which, except those held by management, are or will be freely tradable immediately upon effectiveness of the registration statement which this prospectus form part of. All of the ordinary shares sold in the offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration

56

Table of Contents

under the Securities Act. The remaining ordinary shares will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144. These ordinary shares may be sold without registration under the Securities Act to the extent permitted by Rule 144 or other exemptions under the Securities Act. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” on page 129 of this prospectus.

If you purchase our ordinary shares in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares.

Investors purchasing our ordinary shares in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share. As a result, investors purchasing ordinary shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $            per share (or $            per share if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), representing the difference between our assumed initial public offering price of $            per share and our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2022. For more information on the dilution, you may experience as a result of investing in this offering, see the section of this prospectus entitled “Dilution.”

A sale or perceived sale of a substantial number of our ordinary shares may cause the price of our ordinary shares to decline.

We, our directors and executive officers, and most of our existing beneficial owners of our outstanding ordinary shares have agreed with the Representative, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any ordinary shares for a period ending three months from the closing date of this offering. See “Underwriting — Lock-Up Agreements” on page 139 of this prospectus. 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 limitations imposed by Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in the public market, the market price of our ordinary shares could fall. Moreover, the perceived risk of this potential dilution could cause shareholders to attempt to sell their ordinary 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.

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

Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, by the Cayman Islands Companies Act and by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities 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 in the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands and from English common law. Decisions of the Privy Council (which is the final Court of Appeal for British overseas territories such as the Cayman Islands) are binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. Decisions of the English courts, and particularly the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal are generally of persuasive authority but are not binding in the courts of the Cayman Islands. Decisions of courts in other Commonwealth jurisdictions are similarly of persuasive but not binding authority. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws relative to the United States. Therefore, our public shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests in the face of actions by our management, directors or controlling shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.

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

Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. These rights, however, may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our articles of association allow our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than 10% of our voting share capital in issue, to requisition a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. Our articles of association provide no other right to put any proposals before annual general meetings. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obligated by law to call annual general meetings. However, our corporate governance guidelines require us to call such

57

Table of Contents

meetings every year. Advance notice of at least seven clear days is required for the convening of any general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least one shareholder present in person or by proxy, representing not less than one-third of the total issued shares carrying the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company.

You may be unable to vote for directors if you hold insufficient shares to requisition a general meeting and no general meetings are otherwise convened by the board of directors.

Our directors serve until their successor is duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Shareholders may remove and appoint directors at any time by ordinary resolution. However, as a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not required to hold any annual general meetings and, under our articles of association, shareholders are not able to requisition a meeting unless the requisitionists, between them, hold in aggregate not less than 10% of our voting share capital in issue. As a result, shareholders who hold less than 10% of our voting share capital in issue may not have opportunity to vote on directors if no general meetings are convened by the board of directors.

Based on the Economic Substance Legislation of the Cayman Islands, it is anticipated that the Company will be subject to limited substance requirements applicable to a holding company.

The Cayman Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have recently introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the European Union (the “EU”) as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. With effect from January 1, 2019, the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (as amended) (the “Economic Substance Act”) came into force in the Cayman Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are engaged in certain “relevant activities,” which in the case of exempted companies incorporated before January 1, 2019, applies in respect of financial years commencing July 1, 2019, onwards. As we are a Cayman Islands company, compliance obligations include filing annual notifications for the Company, which need to state whether we are carrying out any “relevant activities” and if so, whether we have satisfied economic substance tests to the extent required under the Economic Substance Act. As it is a relatively new regime, it is anticipated that the Economic Substance Act will evolve and be subject to further clarification and amendments. We may need to allocate additional resources to keep updated with these developments, and may have to make changes to our operations in order to comply with all requirements under the Economic Substance Act. Failure to satisfy these requirements may subject us to penalties under the Economic Substance Act.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

        future financial and operating results, including revenues, income, expenditures, cash balances and other financial items;

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

        current and future economic and political conditions;

        our ability to compete in an industry with low barriers to entry;

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

        our ability to retain the services of our directors, officers and key employees;

        trends and competition in the advertising industry; and

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

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

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We were incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on November 8, 2023. 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. However, the Cayman Islands have a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provide significantly less protection for investors than the United States. 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, all of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of the PRC and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult 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, and Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, our counsel with respect to PRC law, have advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or the PRC would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands or the PRC against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

Our Cayman Islands counsel has further advised us that there is currently no statutory enforcement or treaty between the United States and the Cayman Islands providing for enforcement of judgments. A judgment obtained in the United States, however, may be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination on the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, 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; and (v) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or public policy of the Cayman Islands. Furthermore, it is uncertain that the Cayman Islands courts would enforce: (1) judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or other persons that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws; or (2) original actions brought against us or other persons predicated upon the Securities Act. Our Cayman Islands counsel has informed us that there is uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law relating to whether a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature.

Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm has further advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm has advised us further that there are no treaties or other forms of reciprocity between China and the United States for the mutual recognition and enforcement of court judgments, thus making the recognition and enforcement of a U.S. court judgment in China difficult.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares in this offering will be approximately $            , after deducting the underwriting discounts, estimated offering expenses payable by us and advising fees, based on the assumed initial public offering price of $            per ordinary share. If the Representative exercises its over-allotment option in full, we estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $            , after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows, and we have ordered the specific uses of proceeds in order of priority.

This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and prevailing business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and prevailing business conditions evolve. Predicting the cost necessary to develop product candidates can be difficult and the amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering.

The net proceeds from this offering must be remitted to China before we will be able to use the funds to grow our business. The procedure to remit funds may take several months after completion of this offering, and we will be unable to use the offering proceeds in China until remittance is completed. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — We must remit the offering proceeds to China before they may be used to benefit our business in China, and this process may take several months to complete” beginning on page 28 for further information.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We anticipate that we will retain any earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business after the Company’s initial public offering. Therefore, we do not expect to pay cash dividends again in the foreseeable future. Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including future earnings, capital requirements, financial conditions, and future prospects, and other factors the board of directors may deem relevant.

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

If we determine to pay dividends on any of our ordinary shares in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our operating subsidiary. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to Galle HK only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiary, VIE and its subsidiaries in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Each of such entity in China is also required to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at the discretion of its board of directors. Although the statutory reserves can be used, among other ways, to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies, the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation. Our subsidiary, VIE and its subsidiaries in China are required to set aside statutory reserves and have done so.

Current PRC regulations permit Galle WFOE to pay dividends to Galle HK only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiary, VIE and its subsidiaries in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Although the statutory reserves can be used, among other ways, to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies, the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation.

The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries and affiliates in the PRC incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or our subsidiaries are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through the current contractual arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our ordinary shares.

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

The pro forma as adjusted information is illustrative only, and we will adjust this information based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. Additional paid-in capital reflects the net proceeds we expect to receive, after deducting the underwriting discounts, estimated offering expenses payable by us and advisory fees.

DILUTION

If you invest in our ordinary shares, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per ordinary share and the pro forma net tangible book value per ordinary share after the offering. Dilution results from the fact that the offering price per ordinary share is substantially in excess of the book value per ordinary share attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding ordinary shares. Our net tangible book value attributable to shareholders on June 30, 2023, was $            or approximately $            per ordinary share. Net tangible book value per ordinary share as of June 30, 2023, represents the amount of total assets less intangible assets and total liabilities, divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding.

We will have ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the offering or ordinary shares assuming the full exercise of the over-allotment option. Our post offering pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value, which gives effect to receipt of the net proceeds from the offering and issuance of additional shares in the offering as well as the consummation of private placements after June 30, 2023, but does not take into consideration any other changes in our net tangible book value after June 30, 2023, will be $            or approximately $            per ordinary share. This would result in dilution to investors in this offering of approximately $            per ordinary share or approximately            % from the assumed offering price of $            per ordinary share. Net tangible book value per ordinary share would increase to the benefit of present shareholders by $            per share attributable to the purchase of the ordinary shares by investors in this offering.

The following table sets forth the estimated net tangible book value per ordinary share after the offering and the dilution to persons purchasing ordinary shares based on the foregoing firm commitment offering assumptions. The number of our ordinary shares had been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the increase of share capital. See “Description of Share Capital” for more details.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in this prospectus. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” All amounts included in the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (“Annual Financial Statements”) are derived from our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or US GAAP.

Overview

The VIE and its subsidiaries are an electronic equipment wholesaler currently primarily involving (i) mobile devices, (ii) televisions, (iii) air conditioners, and other types of electronics that are high in demand on the market. Leveraging the strategic relationships with upstream and downstream enterprises, the VIE and its subsidiaries can navigate price fluctuations and ensure the ability to meet customers’ substantial demands for electronic devices and home appliances. The experienced sales and marketing team has helped establish and maintain stable relationships with the key supplier and customers while developing systematic strategies to monitor price fluctuations. Leveraging their expertise, the VIE and its subsidiaries strive to diversify the product portfolio and solidify the position in the wholesale chain of valuable electronic products.

Our main products include Apple branded mobile devices, Xiaomi branded televisions (Xiaomi TVs), Midea branded air conditioners and Xiaomi smartphones. The VIE and its subsidiaries have chosen these products because of their strong demand in the market. This high demand allows us to quickly sell a large number of devices sourced from upstream enterprises, reducing warehouse pressures and accelerating our profitable buying and selling cycle. We have chosen Midea-branded air conditioners because their price fluctuations generally follow regular seasonal patterns. By capitalizing on the pattern of price changes, we effectively enhance our profitability, reducing the cost of procurement and increasing overall profits when selling Midea air conditioners.

Our revenues for the year ended June 30, 2023 were approximately $104.0 million, which represents an increase of $26.9 million, or 35.0%, from our total revenues of approximately $77.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. Our gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $4.3 million, representing an increase of $3.7 million, or 613.0%, from approximately $0.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. Our net income (loss) for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $2.2 million and ($81,000), respectively.

Recent development

Since July 2023, we have introduced a retail sales approach on a well-known online shopping platform in China. We believe that by establishing a robust online presence, we can strengthen our strategic relationships with current partners and pave the way for the future expansion of our product catalogue and customer network. Our plan is to create a sales platform within one of China’s most popular communication applications, WeChat. This platform will allow our customers to shop for our electronic devices and home appliances on their phones and stay updated on our latest promotions. We envision this platform as a centralized hub for our products. Furthermore, the data collected from user interactions on the platform can provide us with valuable insights for refining marketing strategies and tailoring our offerings to better meet our customers’ needs.

Sales and marketing

Our sales and marketing team consists of 15 full-time employees based in China. Our sales team has been working in the commodity trading field for years, with a focus on electronic devices. Our sales team takes the initiative to visit our upstream and downstream partners regularly to gain a comprehensive understanding of what matters most to them. By maintaining close relationships and staying attuned to customer needs, we operate with a high level of efficiency and

66

Table of Contents

effectiveness. Our sales growth benefits from the extensive network of suppliers and customers developed by our team. We believe that we have a dedicated sales and marketing team providing top-notch services to customers in China. The sales team is comprised of staff members who specialize in electronic wholesale business and the end-user market.

We promote our products and enhance brand awareness through close collaboration with our strategic partners. We place great importance on maintaining our strategic relationships with suppliers and customers, and we have plans to further consolidate our collaboration to encompass a wider range of our products and broader networks of customers. One of other key channels for marketing is through word-of-mouth referrals from our existing customers and business contacts. We believe that our high-quality sales staff services result in strong word-of-mouth referrals and positive customer reviews, which increase customer awareness of our brand. As we gain trust from our customers, they often refer us to their social network, or return to us for their other electronic devices or other related needs. We intend to continue to invest resources in our marketing efforts.

Competitors

The electronic wholesaling industry is growing and increasingly competitive. We compete with other electronic equipment wholesalers and retailers for the same pool of potential customers. Our main competitors include (a) electric business platforms, such as Jingdong and Alibaba; (b) other electronic equipment wholesalers, such as Huitongda Network Co., Ltd.; and (c) electronic device retailers, such as Apple stores and Gome electrical appliances. We compete to engage more customers and source supplies at more competitive price. We also believe some of our competitors may be better funded or better connected than us. Nonetheless, we believe that we are well positioned to compete in the industry because of our competitive pricing advantage, strong and stable supply source, and experienced management team.

Competitive strengths

We offer a wide range of high-demand electronic devices at competitive prices.

We offer a wide range of products that cater to the general needs of the electronic devices and home appliance markets. Drawing upon our keen understanding of the demands and preferences within this market segment, we have developed a diverse product portfolio to better serve our customers. Our product line-up includes high-demand items such as Apple branded mobile devices, Xiaomi branded TV, Midea branded air conditioner, and Xiaomi Smartphone. Our strong strategic partnerships with upstream enterprises enable us to source these products at competitive prices. Additionally, our wide networks and deep understanding of the market demands accelerate our product turnover and effectively mitigates inventory risks.

We have strong and stable relationships with our suppliers and customers.

Since the commencement of our business, we have developed strong and stable relationships with the key supplier and customers in the region. We have identified and maintained good relationships with reliable suppliers who provide us with profitable products of highly recognized value. They also refer prospective customers to us. Our customers regularly return to us for repeat business. We have a wide customer base in China.

We have an experienced management and sales team.

We have an experienced management team, led by Ms. Wen Jia, our executive director and Chairwoman of the board, and Mr. Jiayang Zhu who has been instrumental in spearheading the growth of us. Mr. Zhu has years of experience in the electronic wholesaling industry and is primarily responsible for the planning and execution of our business strategies and managing our customer relationships. We are also supported by an experienced sales team with substantial experience in the electronic wholesaling industry. Our sale team’s regular visits contribute to building strong, trust-based relationships with our customers.

Key Factors Affecting Results of Operations

The business, financial condition and results of operations of us have been and are expected to continue to be, affected by a number of factors, which primarily include the following:

The ability to increase and retain customers

A significant amount of our revenues is highly dependent on our ability to retain and increase customers, especially those major customers. For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we had 25 and 18 customers, respectively. The average revenue per customer were approximately $4.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Our management team monitors the number of existing and new customers as indicators of the growth of our overall business. The increase in new customers indicates the effectiveness of our business expansion and reflects our strong business development capabilities. Our ability to increase customers, average revenue per customer and retention rate will depend on our ability to build up the awareness of our brand. We expect that retention rates will remain stable in the long term as we continue to build stable cooperation relationship with our customers. We also plan to explore opportunities to collaborate with suitable partners in these industries through strategic alliances, joint ventures and investments.

Seasonality

The selling of Apple branded mobile devices exhibits distinct seasonality. One of the most pronounced seasonal factors is the release of new iPhone models by Apple, which occurs annually in September. Leading up to these launches, there is a surge in demand for the latest models, often causing the resale value of our older iPhones to decline as consumers eagerly anticipate the newest technology. Moreover, the holiday season, including 618 Chinese Shopping Day (18th June), Double 11 Chinese shopping festival (11th November), 520 Chinese Valentine’s Day (20th May), Double 12 Chinese Year-end Shopping festival (12th December), New Year’s Day and Spring Festival, witnesses heightened activity and more profits, with many consumers purchasing Apple branded mobile devices as gifts. The back-to-school season, from late summer to early fall, also contributes to increased demand as students and parents seek upgraded devices. However, we have witnessed off-peak periods during the early months of the year and middle of summer, which often experience lower demand and decreased prices that affect our financial performance adversely. The selling of Xiaomi Smartphones faces similar seasonality. The wholesale of air conditioners is influenced by different seasons. Air conditioner sales typically peak during the summer months when temperatures are high, and the demand for cooling is at its maximum. During this time, our downstream partners frequently source large quantities of air conditioners from us. Consumer demand in other seasons is lower.

A failure by our management to make acute and correct market forecasts and to seize opportunities to procure substantial quantities of devices when prices are low, could have a material adverse effect on us.

Impact of material fluctuations in purchases and the relationship with our suppliers

We are sensitive to price movements in our electronics devices supply base. Our largest material purchases are for products supplies. Prices for these products, along with costs for transportation and labor, fluctuate with market conditions. We may be unable to offset the impact with price increases on a timely basis due to outstanding commitments to our customers, competitive considerations or our customers’ resistance to accepting such price increases and our financial performance could be adversely impacted. With our suppliers, we seek to establish more collaborative and mutually beneficial relationships. By forging stronger bonds and fostering open lines of communication, we can ensure a steady supply of high-quality products and favorable terms that keep us at the forefront of the industry. A failure by our suppliers to continue to supply us with products, could have a material adverse effect on us. To the extent there are material fluctuations in product supplies, our margins could be materially adversely impacted.

Impact of COVID-19

In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 virus an international pandemic. The virus spread throughout the world during the beginning of March 2020. During March 2020, multiple countries went into a national enforced shut down. These lockdowns have put a huge strain on the world economy and on companies around the world. Given the rapidly expanding nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the concentration of most of

68

Table of Contents

our business operations and employees in China, the outbreak affected our business, especially our supply chains, which resulted in impacts on our operating results and financial positions in 2022 and 2021. Since March 2023, the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, and it no longer has a materially adverse impact on our financial performance. The degree to which the COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts our business and results of operations will depend on future developments beyond our control, including the severity of the pandemic in the PRC and globally, the PRC government’s policies to contain the outbreak and the impact on the logistics industry and the supply chain, all of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, and are likely adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Impact of initial public offering

After successful being a new public company, we will be subject to increased operating costs related to our listing on Nasdaq and compliance with Securities Act and Exchange Act periodic reporting. For example, the annual audit expenses, the legal service expenses and related consulting service expenses will increase our operating costs.

We engage in sales of electronic equipment, which include primarily mobile devices, televisions, air conditioners, and other types of electronics that are high in demand on the market. We sell our products to third party wholesalers or to individual customers, and recognize the product revenue when control of the products is passed to customers.

Table of Contents

Electronic equipment revenue increased by approximately $26.2 million, or 34.5%, for the year ended June 30, 2023 compared to sales for the year ended June 30, 2022. This increase was mainly due to the expansion of our sales team, and we have new customers and sales channels in 2023. Our online sales channel helped us achieve a sales increase of about $1.4 million. The increase was offset by the 7.7% depreciation of RMB against USD for the year of 2023 compared with the rate for the year of 2022.

For the year ended June 30, 2023, our other product revenue increased by approximately $0.7 million, or 80.6%, compared to the year ended June 30, 2022. Sales of other products mainly included medical supplies, furniture, non-metallic mineral products and other items.

For products sales during the years ended June 30, 2023, approximately $34.4 million revenue growth was attributable to new customers and approximately $1.9 million revenue decrease was attributable to existing customers compared with the years ended June 30, 2022. The revenue growth was offset by the 7.7% depreciation of RMB against USD for the year of 2023 compared with the rate for the year of 2022.

Cost of Revenues

Our costs include the amounts we pay suppliers, costs associated with storage and transporting the product from suppliers to customers’ warehouse, as applicable.

Our total cost of revenues increased by approximately $23.2 million, or 30.4%, from approximately $76.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $99.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2023.

The cost of electronic equipment products increased by approximately $22.6 million, or 29.9%, for the year ended June 30, 2023 compared to that for the year ended June 30, 2022. Other product costs increased by approximately $0.7 million, or 77.4%. The increase in total revenue costs for the year ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was mainly due to the increase in order volume which increased total costs by approximately 30.4% in 2023. The increase in total revenue cost is offset by the reduced supply price of the supplier. The reason is that we have increased our purchase volume this year and established more stable cooperation with major suppliers. While the total revenue for the year increased by about 35.0%. In summary, the total revenue cost growth was slightly lower than the revenue growth.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit increased by approximately $3.7 million, or approximately 613.0%, from approximately $0.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $4.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2023. Our overall gross margin for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 4.2% and 0.8%, respectively. The increase in grow margin was due to increase in sales volume which enabled us to obtain better purchase price from vendors.

Operating Expenses

For the year ended June 30, 2023, we incurred operating expenses of approximately $1.6 million, an increase of approximately $0.9 million, or approximately 117.1%, compared to approximately $0.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to significant increases in general and administrative expenses and selling expenses which was in line with our development strategy.

70

Table of Contents

Selling expenses increased by approximately $380,000 for the year ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in salaries and benefits expenses of approximately $200,000, including salaries of approximately $165,000, which is a result of our new business development and recruitment of additional staff during the year ended June 30, 2023; (ii) an increase in meal and entertainment expenses of approximately $24,000 as a result of the increase in sales business activities during the year of 2023; (iii) an increase in professional services of approximately $120,000 as a result of our new business development during the year of 2023; and (iv) an increase in travel and other expenses of approximately $40,000.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $490,000, or 71.6%, from approximately $690,000 for the year ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $1.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of approximately $330,000 in salary, benefits and training expenses as a result of the increase in the production facility and the number of our employees, which required us to train additional employees; and (ii) the office renovation costs about $81,000 for our operating office. The general and administrative expenses were mainly offset by the decrease of approximately $35,000 patent expenses related to our early business plans incurred during the year of 2022. The patents are not related to our current business. Since we do not plan to use them anymore, we expensed them during the year of 2022.

Other income, net

Total net other income for the year ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $0.3 million, compared to net other income for the year ended June 30, 2022 of approximately $45,000. For the year ended June 30, 2023, we recorded approximately $0.8 million interest expenses for loans and notes payable and approximately $1.1 million interest income earned from restricted cash deposited in banks for notes payable. For the year ended June 30, 2022, we recorded approximately $0.1 million interest expenses for loans and notes payable and approximately $0.2 million interest income earned from restricted cash deposited in banks for notes payable.

Provision for income taxes

Our income tax expense increased by approximately $800,000 or 4,835.2% from approximately ($17,000) income tax benefits for the year ended June 30, 2022 to approximately $780,000 income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2023. The increase was mainly due to increase in taxable income.

Net income (loss)

As a result of the combined effect of the above factors, our net income for the year ended June 30, 2023 increased by approximately $2.3 million or approximately 2,828.4%, from a net loss of approximately $81,000 for the year ended June 30, 2022 to a net income of approximately $2.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Galle Cayman prepares financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires Galle Cayman’s management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. Galle Cayman has identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of Galle Cayman’s financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of Galle Cayman’s financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of Galle Cayman’s financial conditions and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. While Galle Cayman’s significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, there were no critical accounting policies that affect the preparation of financial statements. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments.

71

Table of Contents

Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including the critical accounting estimates as follows:

Allowance for doubtful accounts

Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts for accounts receivable, prepayments, and other receivables and other assets on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition and credit history to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.

Valuation of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when we determine that it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized in the future. We consider positive and negative evidence to determine whether some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will more-likely-than-not be realized. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses and forecasts of future profitability. These assumptions require significant judgment and the forecasts of future taxable income are consistent with the plans and estimates we are using to manage the underlying businesses.

We believe that the estimates utilized in preparing its consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and the actual results, future financial statements will be affected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

As of June 30, 2023, Galle Cayman had cash and restricted cash of approximately $41.4 million. Galle Cayman’s working capital was approximately $3.0 million as of June 30, 2023, approximately $28.5 million of which was deferred revenue — contract liabilities which we expect to realize and do not expect to make any significant refund based on historical experience. Therefore, the Company’s working capital excluding deferred revenue was approximately $31.6 million. In assessing Galle Cayman’s liquidity, Galle Cayman monitors and analyses its cash-on-hand and operating and capital expenditure commitments. To date, Galle Cayman has financed its working capital requirements through cash flow generated from operations, debt financings, and capital contributions from its existing shareholders. Galle Cayman believes its current working capital is sufficient to support its operations for the next twelve months. Galle Cayman may, however, need additional cash resources in the future if it experiences changes in business conditions or other developments or if Galle Cayman finds and wishes to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, capital expenditure, or similar actions. If Galle Cayman determines that its cash requirements exceed the amount of cash Galle Cayman has on hand at the time, Galle Cayman may seek to obtain bank loans, third-party loans and related-party loans, or obtain credit facilities. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict Galle Cayman’s operations. Galle Cayman’s obligation to bear credit risk for certain financing transactions. Galle Cayman facilitates may also strain Galle Cayman’s operating cash flow. Galle Cayman cannot assure that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to Galle Cayman, if at all.

Holding Company Structure

Galle Cayman is a holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct our operations primarily through the VIE and its subsidiaries in China. As a result, Galle Cayman’s ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by our PRC subsidiary. If our existing PRC subsidiary 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 wholly foreign-owned subsidiary in China is 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, our PRC subsidiary, the VIE and its subsidiaries in China is 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 its registered capital. In addition, our wholly foreign-owned subsidiary in China may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion funds and staff bonus and welfare funds at its discretion, and our variable interest entity may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary surplus fund at its 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 China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE. Our PRC subsidiary has not paid dividends and will not be able to pay dividends until it generates accumulated profits and meets the requirements for statutory reserve funds.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Inflation risk

Inflationary factors, such as increases in personnel and overhead costs, could impair Galle Cayman’s operating results. Although Galle Cayman does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on Galle Cayman’s financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on Galle Cayman’s ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the revenues do not increase with such increased costs.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises mainly from its interest-bearing financial liabilities. Galle Cayman has long-term banking, notes payable and third-party facilities outstanding. Although interest rates for Galle Cayman’s short-term and long-term loans are about fixed for the terms of the loans, the terms are typically 12 to 36 months, and interest rates are subject to change upon renewal. The Company periodically reviews its liabilities and monitors interest rate fluctuations to ensure that the exposure to interest rate risk is within acceptable levels. The interest-bearing financial liabilities are usually at fixed interest rates except for money market loans, bank overdrafts and floating interest rate loans. The Company does not utilize interest rate derivatives to minimize its interest rate risk.

Foreign Exchange Risk

All of Galle Cayman’s operating entities’ functional currency are RMB. As a result, Galle Cayman is exposed to foreign exchange risk as Galle Cayman’s results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between USD, and RMB. If the RMB appreciates against the USD, the value of Galle Cayman’s RMB revenues, earnings, and assets as expressed in Galle Cayman’s USD financial statements will decline. Galle Cayman has not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce Galle Cayman’s exposure to foreign exchange risk.

BUSINESS

Overview

The VIE and its subsidiaries are an electronic equipment wholesaler currently primarily involving (i) mobile devices, (ii) televisions, (iii) air conditioners, and other types of electronics that are high in demand on the market. Leveraging the strategic relationships with upstream and downstream enterprises, the VIE and its subsidiaries can navigate price fluctuations and ensure the ability to meet customers’ substantial demands for electronic devices and home appliances. The experienced sales and marketing team has helped establish and maintain stable relationships with the key supplier and customers while developing systematic strategies to monitor price fluctuations. Leveraging their expertise, the VIE and its subsidiaries strive to diversify the product portfolio and solidify the position in the wholesale chain of valuable electronic products.

Our main products include Apple branded mobile devices, Xiaomi branded televisions (Xiaomi TVs), Midea branded air conditioners and Xiaomi smartphones. The VIE and its subsidiaries have chosen these products because of their strong demand in the market. This high demand allows us to quickly sell a large number of devices sourced from upstream enterprises, reducing warehouse pressures and accelerating our profitable buying and selling cycle.

Our Corporate History and Structure

Galleinphi Inc., or Galle Cayman, is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations, Galle Cayman conduct its operations in China through Galle China. Neither Galle Cayman nor its subsidiaries own any shares in the VIE. On December 20, 2023, Galle WFOE entered into the VIE Agreements with Galle China and its shareholders that established the VIE structure. The VIE structure involves unique risks to investors. Neither we nor our subsidiaries own any shares in the VIE. We have evaluated the guidance in FASB ASC 810 and determined that Galle WFOE is the primary beneficiary of Galle China for accounting purposes as a result of the VIE Agreements. Accordingly, we treat Galle China and its subsidiaries as our consolidated affiliated entities and have consolidated the financial results of Galle China and its subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, investors will not and may never directly hold equity interests in the Chinese operating companies. The VIE Agreements may not be effective in providing control over the VIE. Uncertainties exist as to our ability to enforce the VIE agreements. The VIE agreements have not been tested in a court of law. The Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow this VIE structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and the value of our ordinary shares, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” beginning on page 41 of this prospectus for certain risks related to the VIE Agreements.

The VIE Agreements

Galle Cayman is a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations, Galle Cayman conducts its operations in China through the VIE, Galle China. Investors are cautioned that you are not buying shares of a China-based operating company but instead are buying shares of a Cayman Islands holding company with operations conducted by our subsidiaries and through contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity based in China and that this structure involves unique risks to investors. That is, the VIE conducts operations in China; the VIE is consolidated for accounting purposes but is not an entity in which you own equity, and the Cayman Islands holding company does not conduct operations.

On December 20, 2023, Galle WFOE, the VIE and the VIE’s shareholders entered into a series of contractual agreements that establish the VIE structure, which we may refer to as the VIE Agreements. Neither we nor our subsidiaries own any share in Galle China and its subsidiaries. Instead, we receive the economic benefits of the VIE’ business operation through a series of the VIE Agreements, which have not been tested in court. We are regarded as the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The VIE structure is used to provide investors with exposure to foreign investment in China-based companies where Chinese law prohibits direct foreign investment in the operating companies.

We may face challenges to enforce the VIE Agreements due to legal uncertainties and jurisdictional limits. Investors 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. It may also be difficult for the investor or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within China.

On December 20, 2023, Galle WFOE entered into the VIE Agreements with Galle China and all the shareholders of Galle China, or the Galle China Shareholders. There are 9 Galle China shareholders in total. Huzhou Anjia Kaiyue Technology Partnership (Limited Partnership), Wen Jia , Jiayang Zhu, Zhongxiang Zhao, Jingdezhen Zhongsheng Venture Capital Cooperative Enterprise, LP and Xiaohui Wu are more than five percent shareholders of Galle China. Huzhou Anjia Kaiyue Technology Partnership (Limited Partnership), which is controlled by Microelectronics Technology Co., Ltd, owns 31.0696% of the shares. Wen Jia owns 30.4629% of the shares. Jiayang Zhu owns 14.9382% of the shares. Zhongxiang Zhao owns 8.1197% of the shares. Jingdezhen Zhongsheng Venture Capital Cooperative Enterprise, LP, which is controlled by Jiuhua Hu, owns 6.67% of the shares. Xiaohui Wu owns 5.0025% of the shares.

Contractual Arrangements between Galle WFOE and Galle China

Due to PRC legal restrictions on foreign ownership, neither we nor our subsidiaries own any direct equity interest in Galle China. Instead, for accounting purposes, we are the primary beneficiary and receive the economic benefits of Galle China’s business operation through a series of contractual arrangements. Galle WFOE, Galle China and the shareholders of Galle China entered into a series of contractual arrangements, also known as VIE Agreements,

78

Table of Contents

on December 20, 2023. We have evaluated the guidance in FASB ASC 810 and determined that Galle WFOE is the primary beneficiary of the consolidated VIE, for accounting purposes, because, pursuant to the VIE agreements, the VIE shall pay service fees equal to all of its net income to Galle WFOE, and Galle WFOE has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that can significantly impact the VIE’ economic performance and is obligated to absorb all of losses of the VIE. The VIE agreements are designed to render the operations of the VIE to be solely for the benefit of Galle WFOE, and, ultimately, Galle Cayman, which has indirect ownership in 100% of the equity in Galle WFOE. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, we treat the VIE and its subsidiaries as consolidated affiliated entities and have consolidated their financial results in our financial statements. If Galle China and their subsidiaries or the shareholders of Galle China fail to perform their respective obligations under the contractual arrangements, we could be limited in our ability to enforce the contractual arrangements. Furthermore, if we are unable to maintain our rights as the primary beneficiary over the VIE, we would not be able to continue to consolidate the financial results of the variable interest entity in our financial statements.

The following is a selection of the currently effective contractual arrangements by and among our wholly-owned subsidiary, Galle WFOE, and the VIE, Galle China. These contractual arrangements enable us to (i) exercise our rights as the primary beneficiary over the VIE; (ii) receive substantially all of the economic benefits of the VIE; and (iii) have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in and assets of it when and to the extent permitted by PRC law.

Equity Interest Pledge Agreement

Pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreement entered into among Galle WFOE, Galle China and the shareholders of Galle China, respectively, the shareholders of Galle China pledged all of their equity interests in Galle China to Galle WFOE to guarantee Galle China’s obligations under the contractual arrangements including the exclusive business cooperation agreement, the exclusive option agreement and the shareholders’ power of attorney and this equity interest pledge agreement, as well as any loss incurred due to events of default defined therein and all expenses incurred by Galle WFOE in enforcing such obligations of Galle China, or their shareholders. In the event of default defined therein, upon written notice to the shareholders of Galle China, Galle WFOE, as pledgee, will have the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests in Galle China and priority in receiving the proceeds from such disposition. The shareholders of Galle China agree that, without Galle WFOE’s prior written approval, during the term of the equity pledge agreement, they will not dispose of the pledged equity interests or create or allow any other encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. The pledge shall become effective on such date when the pledge of the equity interest contemplated in the equity interest pledge agreement is registered appropriately, and the pledge shall remain effective until all contractual obligations have been fully performed and all secured indebtedness have been fully paid. The shareholders and Galle China shall not have any right to terminate this agreement in any event unless otherwise required by PRC laws.

Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement

Galle WFOE and Galle China entered into exclusive business cooperation agreements on December 20, 2023, pursuant to which Galle WFOE has the exclusive right to provide to Galle China technical support, consulting services and other services related to, among other things, design and development, operation maintenance, product consulting, and management and marketing consulting. Galle WFOE has the exclusive ownership of intellectual property rights created during the performance of this agreement. Galle WFOE is entitled to collect a service fee equal to 100% of the net income of the VIE, which is the VIE’s earnings before corporate income tax, representing revenues after deduction of operating costs, expenses, and other taxes. In addition, during the term of the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreements, Galle WFOE shall bear all risks arising from or in connection with the VIE’s business operation, including providing financial support to the VIE in the event that the VIE incurs operating losses or has insufficient funds to repay its debts. This agreement will remain effective upon execution, and unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of this agreement or terminated in writing by Galle WFOE. Galle China shall not have any right to terminate this agreement in any event unless otherwise required by PRC laws.

Exclusive Option Agreement

Each of the shareholders of Galle China undertake that, without the prior written consent of Galle WFOE, they may not increase or decrease the registered capital or change its structure of registered capital in other manners, dispose of its assets or beneficial interest in the material business or allow the encumbrance thereon of any security interest, incur any debts or guarantee liabilities, enter into any material purchase agreements, enter into any merger, acquisition or investments, amend its articles of association, distribute dividends to any of the shareholders or provide any loans to third parties. The Exclusive Option Agreements, together with the Equity Interest Pledge Agreements, the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreements, and the Powers of Attorney, enable Galle WFOE to exercise effective control over the VIE.

The exclusive option agreement will remain effective until all equity interests in Galle China held by the shareholders of Galle China are transferred or assigned to Galle WFOE or its designated person(s). The shareholders of Galle China shall not have any right to terminate this agreement in any event unless otherwise required by PRC laws.

Our Products

Apple Branded Mobile Devices

We specialize in the wholesale business of Apple branded mobile devices due to their significant brand recognition. We primarily source our devices through two trusted channels:

1.      Authorized first-tier distributors: The so-called first-tier distributors are distributors who work closely with the principal manufacturers of apple mobile devices. Our strong and stable relationships with authorized first-tier distributors of Apple products guarantee qualities, quantities, and pricing that align with our needs.

2.      E-commerce Platforms: Periodically, we engage with large e-commerce platforms, especially when they offer Apple mobile devices at more favorable rates than the prevailing market prices.

81

Table of Contents

Leveraging our acute market insights, we seize opportunities to procure substantial quantities of devices when prices are low. With our highly competitive pricing, our devices are being offered to retailers and other wholesalers.

We choose Apple-branded mobile devices because of their strong demand in the market. This high demand allows us to quickly sell a large number of devices sourced from upstream enterprises, reducing warehouse pressures and accelerating our profitable buying and selling cycle.

Xiaomi Branded Television (Xiaomi TV)

Xiaomi TV plays an important role in our wholesale business. We diligently monitor the price fluctuations of Xiaomi TVs and carefully select television specifications that we believe offer the most cost-effective solutions at competitive prices. Our enduring customer relationships empower us to offer these products at exceptionally attractive prices.

We have included Xiaomi TVs in our product portfolio due to their high demand in the market and the availability of affordable sourcing options. There is a consistent and high demand for TVs, especially with advancements in technology leading to new and improved models regularly. Our partnerships with upstream enterprises allow us to procure these TVs at prices significantly lower than the market average.

Midea Branded Air Conditioner

We also offer Midea branded air conditioners. Based on our comprehensive market analysis, we procure large quantities of selected Midea branded air conditioner models during the off-season, with sales commencing in the summer. Through vigilant monitoring of market demand patterns, we excel at navigating market fluctuations and ensuring that our Midea air conditioners are available at anticipated prices.

We have chosen Midea-branded air conditioners because their price fluctuations generally follow regular seasonal patterns. By capitalizing on the pattern of price changes, we effectively enhance our profitability, reducing the cost of procurement and increasing overall profits when selling Midea air conditioners.

Xiaomi Smartphone

We also provide wholesale services for Xiaomi smartphones, with the aim of delivering cost-effective Xiaomi smartphones to our valued customers. We believe that our knowledgeable salespersons, who conduct market research on Xiaomi smartphones, provide our customers with a high-quality buying experience. Our extensive customer network also helps us secure a strong position in the Xiaomi smartphone wholesale market. By conducting rigorous checks for product quality and authenticity, we ensure that our customers receive well-functioning devices.

We selected the Xiaomi smartphone due to its similar sales patterns with Apple-branded mobile devices and the potential for decent profits. By adapting and transforming our existing business model into a customized model for the Xiaomi smartphone, we established a profitable buying and selling approach for Xiaomi smartphones.

Our Suppliers and Customers

For the financial year ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there was one main supplier that accounted for 93.46% and 93.48% of our total purchases, respectively. Our main supplier mainly provides Apple mobile devices to us.

Our customers are a variety of electronic device distributors. We do not have long-term contracts with our business customers. Instead, our business customers order from us on an as-needed basis.

The following table sets forth information as to each customer that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s sale for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing team consists of 15 full-time employees based in China. Our sales team has been working in the commodity trading field for years, with a focus on electronic devices. Our sales team takes the initiative to visit our upstream and downstream partners regularly to gain a comprehensive understanding of what matters most to them. By maintaining close relationships and staying attuned to customer needs, we operate with a high level of efficiency and effectiveness. Our sales growth benefits from the extensive network of suppliers and customers developed by our team. We believe that we have a dedicated sales and marketing team providing top-notch services to customers in China. The sales team is comprised of staff members who specialize in electronic wholesale business and the end-user market.

We promote our products and enhance brand awareness through close collaboration with our strategic partners. We place great importance on maintaining our strategic relationships with core suppliers and customers, and we have plans to further consolidate our collaboration to encompass a wider range of our products and broader networks of customers. One of other key channels for marketing is through word-of-mouth referrals from our existing customers and business contacts. We believe that our high-quality sales staff services result in strong word-of-mouth referrals and positive customer reviews, which increase customer awareness of our brand. As we gain trust from our customers, they often refer us to their social network, or return to us for their other electronic devices or other related needs. We intend to continue to invest resources in our marketing efforts.

Sales Process Flow

The process flow pertaining to our sales business activities can be described as follows:

Our sales process typically begins by sourcing valuable goods with high demand in the market from our upstream suppliers. After negotiating the qualities, quantities, and prices of the goods, our procurement staff generates purchase orders and signs purchase contracts with the upstream suppliers. Upon receiving the payment notice, Galle China makes payments for the goods based on the terms of the purchase contracts. The shipments are arranged by our upstream suppliers, and the goods are sent directly to our warehouses, which are operated by third parties. Our team

83

Table of Contents

collaborates with third-party service providers to arrange the receiving, checking of quality and quantity, sorting, and storing of the goods. Additionally, our sales staff proactively contacts downstream distributors for the highest bid shortly after the purchase contracts are signed. After generating sales orders and signing sales contracts with the downstream distributors, our downstream distributors make payments for the goods according to the terms. Once payment is received, our sales staff instructs our warehouse to arrange the shipments to our downstream distributors.

Competition

The electronic wholesaling industry is growing and increasingly competitive. We compete with other electronic equipment wholesalers and retailers for the same pool of potential customers. Our main competitors include (a) electric business platforms, such as Jingdong and Alibaba; (b) other electronic equipment wholesalers, such as Huitongda Network Co., Ltd., Telling Telecommunication Holding Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Aisidi Company Limited, and Shenzhen Yiyatong Supply Chain Co., Ltd.; and (c) electronic device retailers, such as Apple stores and Gome electrical appliances. We compete to engage more customers and source supplies at more competitive price. We also believe some of our competitors may be better funded or better connected than us. Nonetheless, we believe that we are well positioned to compete in the industry because of our competitive pricing advantage, strong and stable supply source, and experienced management team.

Competitive Strengths

We offer a wide range of high-demand electronic devices at competitive prices.

We offer a wide range of products that cater to the general needs of the electronic devices and home appliance markets. Drawing upon our keen understanding of the demands and preferences within this market segment, we have developed a diverse product portfolio to better serve our customers. Our product lineup includes high-demand items such as Apple branded mobile devices, Xiaomi branded TV, Midea branded air conditioner, and Xiaomi Smartphone. Our strong strategic partnerships with upstream enterprises enable us to source these products at competitive prices. Additionally, our wide networks and deep understanding of the market demands accelerate our product turnover and effectively mitigates inventory risks.

We have strong and stable relationships with our suppliers and customers.

Since the commencement of our business, we have developed strong and stable relationships with the key supplier and customers in the region. We have identified and maintained good relationships with reliable suppliers who provide us with profitable products of highly recognized value. They also refer prospective customers to us. Our customers regularly return to us for repeat business. We have a wide customer base in China.

We have strived to maintain stable business relationships with our key customers. For the financial years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, our top five customers accounted for 79.5% and 98.9% of total sales respectively, and three of our top five customers have more than two years of business relationships with us.

We have an experienced management and sales team.

We have an experienced management team, led by Ms. Wen Jia, our Executive Director and Chairwoman of the board, and Mr. Jiayang Zhu who has been instrumental in spearheading the growth of us. Ms. Jia actively supervises and organizes the medium to long-term development strategy of the company, along with its strategic development goals. Mr. Zhu has years of experience in the electronic wholesaling industry and is primarily responsible for the planning and execution of our business strategies and managing our customer relationships. We are also supported by an experienced sales team with substantial experience in the electronic wholesaling industry. Our sale team’s regular visits contribute to building strong, trust-based relationships with our customers.

Business Strategies

We intend to strengthen our market position in the electronic wholesaling industry, by implementing the following business strategies and plans.

Keep monitoring the market trends and diversify our product portfolio

Based on our observations and understanding of market trends, we specialize in wholesaling select products. We are confident that we can leverage the expertise and experience we have gained from wholesaling Apple Mobile Devices to expand into the wholesale market for other electronic products. Our strong network of resourceful suppliers and customers allows us to diversify our product portfolio without concerns about procurement and sales channels.

Build our online platform

We have established deep connections with our customers. We believe that by establishing a robust online presence, we can strengthen our strategic relationships with current partners and pave the way for the future expansion of our product catalog and customer network. Our plan is to create a business-to-business eCommerce platform within one of China’s most popular communication applications, WeChat. This platform will allow our customers to shop for our electronic devices and home appliances on their phones and stay updated on our latest promotions. We envision this platform as a supply and demand matching platform for low-cost, high-quality goods, linking upstream and downstream through cooperation with headline brands, distributors, manufacturers, and online and offline channels such as Tmall, Jingdong, and offline shops, in order to achieve rapid distribution of goods. Furthermore, the data collected from user interactions on the platform can provide us with valuable insights for refining marketing strategies and tailoring our offerings to better meet our customers’ needs.

Enhance our relationships with our current suppliers and customers and foster connections with new ones

We understand the importance of fostering meaningful relationships, both with our current suppliers and customers, as well as potential new partners. Building lasting partnerships is crucial for our sustained success and gradual growth. In collaboration with our suppliers, our goal is to establish cooperative and mutually beneficial relationships, promoting transparent communication for a consistent supply of quality products and fair terms. Similarly, we are dedicated to improving relationships with our customers, recognizing their vital role in our business. By focusing on their needs and preferences, we aim to adapt our product offerings, pricing, and services to create a reliable and satisfying customer experience. Looking forward, we acknowledge the importance of expanding our network of suppliers and customers. We hope to cultivate connections with new partners in the electronic wholesale industry, with the aim of broadening both our sources of goods and our customer base.

Build an AI-based supply chain technology system

We aim to develop an artificial intelligence-based supply chain technology system that leverages market supply data and data from distribution partners, including transaction, inventory, logistics, and after-sales data. By establishing a comprehensive big data model and utilizing it to analyze and predict market and consumption trends, our goal is to provide customers with more effective business solutions. This system is designed to address common challenges faced by many small and medium-sized distribution partners, such as slow purchasing processes, delayed responses, sluggish customer expansion, and difficulties in raising funds. We believe that this strategy will enable the company to expand its business and strengthen customer relationships by offering software services and real-time optimization of business solutions, ultimately increasing the company’s revenue from platform service fees and enhancing profit margins. This approach will contribute to a broader and more prosperous business landscape for the company’s future growth.

Expand business and operations through joint ventures and/or strategic alliances

We intend to continue focusing on our principal business activities in the electronic wholesale and related industries. To do so, we plan to explore opportunities to collaborate with suitable partners in these industries through strategic alliances, joint ventures and investments. As at the date of this prospectus, we have not identified any potential joint ventures and/or strategic alliances.

Impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations

The outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was first emerged in China in late 2019 and continues to expand within the PRC and globally. The electronic wholesale industry in the PRC have been and may continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The economy slowdown and/or negative business sentiment have a negative impact on the electronic wholesale industry and our business operations and financial condition have been and may continue to be adversely affected. With an aim to containing the COVID-19 pandemic, the PRC government had imposed certain measures across the PRC including encouraging employees of enterprises to work remotely from home and cancelling public activities, and the mandatory quarantine requirements on infected individuals and anyone deemed potentially infected of COVID-19, among others. The COVID-19 pandemic in China and the government measures in response have also resulted in temporary closure of many corporate offices, retail stores, manufacturing facilities and factories across China.

During the first half of 2022, our business’s growth rate was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related government policies. Travel restrictions imposed by local governments to contain the spread of COVID-19 temporarily affected our logistics service providers, which, in turn, prevented us from delivering our storage products to our customers. Additionally, product deliveries from our suppliers were adversely affected during this period. To mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our supply chain, we leveraged our strong customer relationships and actively communicated with them to arrange delayed deliveries where feasible. Simultaneously, we coordinated with our suppliers to expedite the delivery of relevant products to us.

For the years ended June 30, 2022, the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business was significantly mitigated by: (1) the increased demand from people staying, studying, and working from home for electronic devices and home appliances; (2) our reliable procurement and sales channels; and (3) our financial resilience, which prevented us from experiencing financial difficulties due to reduced sales and increased operational costs.

Leveraging our relationships and extensive network with our suppliers, customers, and logistics service providers, along with our in-depth knowledge of the wholesale market, we were able to navigate through fluctuations in customer demands and product prices, enabling us to excel in our market performance.

In December 2022 and up to the date of this prospectus, the PRC government had relaxed COVID-19 restrictions. However, from December 2022 to February 2023, we witnessed an exponential increase in the infection rate of COVID-19 in the PRC. Some of our employees were infected with COVID-19 during this period. To protect our employees, we implemented health and safety protocols in our offices, warehouses, and distribution centers. This, to some extent, led to reduced operational capacity and increased costs. Since March 2023, the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, and it no longer has a materially adverse impact on our financial performance.

The degree to which the COVID-19 outbreak ultimately impacts our business and results of operations will depend on future developments beyond our control, including the severity of the pandemic in the PRC and globally, the PRC government’s policies to contain the outbreak and the impact on the logistics industry and the supply chain, all of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, and are likely adversely affect our business and results of operations. It is also uncertain whether and when the PRC government would reimpose any COVID-19 control measures as it has implemented as before. If the COVID-19 pandemic is not effectively and timely controlled, our business operations and financial condition may be adversely affected as the result of the deteriorating market outlook, the slowdown in regional and national economic growth, weakened liquidity and financial condition of our customers or other factors that we cannot foresee.

Seasonality

The selling of Apple branded mobile devices exhibits distinct seasonality. One of the most pronounced seasonal factors is the release of new iPhone models by Apple, which occurs annually in September. Leading up to these launches, there is a surge in demand for the latest models, often causing the resale value of our older iPhones to decline as consumers eagerly anticipate the newest technology. Moreover, the holiday season, including 618 Chinese Shopping Day (18th June), Double 11 Chinese shopping festival (11th November), 520 Chinese Valentine’s Day (20th May), Double 12 Chinese Year-end Shopping festival (12th December), New Year’s Day and Spring Festival, witnesses heightened activity and more profits, with many consumers purchasing Apple branded mobile devices as gifts. The back-to-school season, from late summer to early fall, also contributes to increased demand as students and parents seek upgraded devices. However, we have witnessed off-peak periods during the early months of the year and middle of summer, which often experience lower demand and decreased prices that affect our financial performance adversely. The selling of Xiaomi Smartphones faces similar seasonality.

The wholesale of air conditioners is influenced by different seasons. Air conditioner sales typically peak during the summer months when temperatures are high, and the demand for cooling is at its maximum. During this time, our downstream partners frequently source large quantities of air conditioners from us. Consumer demand in other seasons is lower.

Our wholesale of Xiaomi TVs experiences less influences from seasonality. As people encounter the need to buy TVs evenly throughout the year, the sale does not show a distinct seasonality.

REGULATIONS

This section sets forth a summary of the most significant rules and regulations that affect our business activities in China.

Regulations Relating to Foreign Investment

The Foreign Investment Law

On March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress promulgated the Foreign Investment Law, which has come into effect on January 1, 2020 and has replaced the trio of existing laws regulating foreign investment in China, namely, the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law, the Sino-foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Enterprise Law and the Wholly Foreign-invested Enterprise Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations. The existing foreign-invested enterprises established prior to the effective of the Foreign Investment Law may keep their corporate forms, among other things, within five years after January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the Foreign Investment Law, “foreign investors” means natural person, enterprise, or other organization of a foreign country, “foreign-invested enterprises” (FIEs) means any enterprise established under PRC law that is wholly or partially invested by foreign investors and “foreign investment” means any foreign investor’s direct or indirect investment in mainland China, including: (i) establishing FIEs in mainland China either individually or jointly with other investors; (ii) obtaining stock shares, stock equity, property shares, other similar interests in Chinese domestic enterprises; (iii) investing in new projects in mainland China either individually or jointly with other investors; and (iv) making investment through other means provided by laws, administrative regulations, or State Council provisions.

The Foreign Investment Law stipulates that China implements the management system of pre-establishment national treatment plus a negative list to foreign investment and the government generally will not expropriate foreign investment, except where required by the State to safeguard the public interest, in which case it will provide fair and reasonable compensation to foreign investors. Foreign investors are barred from investing in prohibited industries on the negative list and must comply with the specified requirements when investing in restricted industries on that list. When a license is required to enter a certain industry, the foreign investor must apply for one, and the government must treat the application the same as one by a domestic enterprise, except where laws or regulations provide otherwise. In addition, foreign investors or FIEs are required to file information reports and foreign investment shall be subject to the national security review.

The Industry Guidelines on Encouraged Foreign Investment (Year 2019) approved by the State Council is hereby promulgated and shall be implemented with effect from 30 July 2019. China has introduced an Industry Guidelines on Encouraged Foreign Investment to encourage and allow foreign-invested enterprises to set up businesses in China. The scope of encouragement mainly includes Agriculture, forestry, husbandry, fishing, Mining, Manufacturing, Information transfer, software and technical services Chinese subsidiaries are principally engaged in the provision of investment and financing consulting and technical services, which fall into the category of “encouraged” or “allowed” under the directory.

According to the Foreign Investment Law, the State Council will publish or approve to publish the “negative list” for special administrative measures concerning foreign investment. The Foreign Investment Law grants national treatment to foreign-invested entities, or FIEs, except for those FIEs that operate in industries deemed to be either “restricted” or “prohibited” in the “negative list.” The Foreign Investment Law provides that FIEs operating in foreign restricted or prohibited industries will require market entry clearance and other approvals from relevant PRC governmental authorities. If a foreign investor is found to invest in any prohibited industry in the “negative list,” such foreign investor may be required to, among other aspects, cease its investment activities, dispose of its equity interests or assets within a prescribed time limit and have its income confiscated. If the investment activity of a foreign investor is in breach of any special administrative measure for restrictive access provided for in the “negative list,” the relevant competent department shall order the foreign investor to make corrections and take necessary measures to meet the requirements of the special administrative measure for restrictive access. On June 30, 2019, MOFCOM and NDRC jointly issued the Negative List (Edition 2019). On June 23, 2020, MOFCOM and NDRC jointly issued the Special Administrative Measures for Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List), or the Negative List (Edition 2020), which replaced the Negative List (Edition 2019). The latest version of the Negative List (Edition 2021) was issued on December 27, 2021, which took effect on January 1, 2022 and superseded the previous lists.

Besides, the PRC government will establish a foreign investment information reporting system, according to which foreign investors or foreign-invested enterprises shall submit investment information to the competent department for commerce concerned through the enterprise registration system and the enterprise credit information publicity system, and a security review system under which the security review shall be conducted for foreign investment affecting or likely affecting the state security.

Furthermore, the Foreign Investment Law provides that foreign invested enterprises established according to the existing laws regulating foreign investment before the implementation of the Foreign Investment Law may maintain their structure and corporate governance within five years after the implementing of the Foreign Investment Law.

In addition, the Foreign Investment Law also provides several protective rules and principles for foreign investors and their investments in the PRC, including, among others, that a foreign investor may freely transfer into or out of China, in Renminbi or a foreign currency, its contributions, profits, capital gains, income from disposition of assets, royalties of intellectual property rights, indemnity or compensation lawfully acquired, and income from liquidation, among others, within China; local governments shall abide by their commitments to the foreign investors; governments at all levels and their departments shall enact local normative documents concerning foreign investment in compliance with laws and regulations and shall not impair legitimate rights and interests, impose additional obligations onto FIEs, set market access restrictions and exit conditions, or intervene with the normal production and operation activities of FIEs; except for special circumstances, in which case statutory procedures shall be followed and fair and reasonable compensation shall be made in a timely manner, expropriation or requisition of the investment of foreign investors is prohibited; and mandatory technology transfer is prohibited.

Industry Catalog Relating to Foreign Investment

Investment activities in the PRC by foreign investors are subject to the Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industry, or the Catalogue, which was promulgated and is amended from time to time by the MOFCOM and the NDRC. The Foreign Investment Catalogue which was promulgated jointly by MOFCOM and the NDRC, on June 28, 2017 and became effective on July 28, 2017, classifies industries into three categories with regard to foreign investment: (1) “encouraged,” (2) “restricted,” and (3) “prohibited.” The latter two categories are included in a negative list, which was first introduced into the Foreign Investment Catalog in 2017 and specified the restrictive measures for the entry of foreign investment.

On June 28, 2018, MOFCOM and NDRC jointly promulgated the Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for Foreign Investment Access, or the Negative List (Edition 2018), which replaced the negative list attached to the Foreign Investment Catalogue in 2017. On June 30, 2019, MOFCOM and NDRC jointly issued the Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for Foreign Investment Access, or the Negative List (Edition 2019), which replaced the Negative List (Edition 2018), and the Catalogue of Industries for Encouraging Foreign Investment (Edition 2019), or the Encouraging Catalogue (Edition 2019), which replaced the encouraged list attached to the Foreign Investment Catalogue in 2017. On June 23, 2020, MOFCOM and NDRC jointly issued the Special Administrative Measures for Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List), or the Negative List (Edition 2020), which replaced the Negative List (Edition 2019). On December 27, 2021, the NDRC and the MOFCOM promulgated the latest Special Entry Management Measures (Negative List) for the Access of Foreign Investment (Edition 2021), or the Negative List (Edition 2021), which came into effect on January 1, 2022.

Pursuant to the Negative List (Edition 2021), any industry that is not listed in any of the restricted or prohibited categories is classified as a permitted industry for foreign investment. Establishment of wholly foreign-owned enterprises is generally allowed for industries outside of the Negative List. For the restricted industries within the Negative List, some are limited to equity or contractual joint ventures, while in some cases Chinese partners are required to hold the majority interests in such joint ventures. Industries not listed in the Negative List are generally open to foreign investment unless specifically restricted by other PRC regulations.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the MOFCOM, the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, or the SASAC, the State Administration of Taxation, or the SAT, the SAIC, the CSRC, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or the SAFE jointly adopted the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, which came into effect on September 8, 2006 and were amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules include, among other things, provisions that purport to require that an offshore special purpose vehicle formed for the purpose of an overseas listing of securities in a PRC

Table of Contents

company obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by special purpose vehicles.

Our PRC subsidiary Galle WFOE has obtained all material approvals required for its business operations. And we control and receive the economic benefits of Galle by way of contractual arrangements. Risks regarding contractual control see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure — If the PRC government deems that the contractual arrangements in relation to Galle., our VIE do not comply with PRC regulatory restrictions on foreign investment in the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.”

Company Law

Pursuant to the PRC Company Law, promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) on December 29, 1993, effective as of July 1, 1994, and as revised on December 25, 1999, August 28, 2004, October 27, 2005, December 28, 2013 and October 26, 2018, the establishment, operation and management of corporate entities in the PRC are governed by the PRC Company Law. The PRC Company Law defines two types of companies: limited liability companies and companies limited by shares.

Our PRC subsidiary and Galle WFOE and the VIE and its subsidiaries are limited liability company. Unless otherwise stipulated in the related laws on foreign investment, foreign invested companies are also required to comply with the provisions of the PRC Company Law.

Regulations Relating to Overseas Listings

In August 2006, six PRC regulatory authorities, including the CSRC, jointly adopted the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, amended in June 2009. The M&A Rules, among other things, require that if an overseas company established or controlled by PRC companies or individuals, or PRC Citizens, intends to acquire equity interests or assets of any other PRC domestic company affiliated with the PRC Citizens, such acquisition must be submitted to the MOFCOM for approval. The M&A Rules also require that an Overseas SPV formed for overseas listing purposes and controlled directly or indirectly by the PRC Citizens shall obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to overseas listing and trading of such Overseas SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.

We believe that we will not be required to submit an application to the CSRC for the approval of the listing and trading of us on the Nasdaq. However, our PRC legal counsel has further advised us that there are substantial uncertainties as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in the context of an overseas offering, and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules.

On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, announced the Circular on the Administrative Arrangements for Filing of Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Circular, and released a set of new regulations which consists of the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines. On the same date, the CSRC also released the Notice on the Arrangements for the Filing Management of Overseas Listing of Domestic Companies, or the Notice. The Trial Measures came into effect on March 31, 2023. The Trial Measures refine the regulatory system by subjecting both direct and indirect overseas offering and listing activities to the CSRC filing-based administration. Requirements for filing entities, time points and procedures are specified. A PRC domestic company that seeks to offer and list securities in overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC per the requirements of the Trial Measures. Where a PRC domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities in overseas markets, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity, which shall, as the domestic responsible entity, file with the CSRC. The Trial Measures also lay out requirements for the reporting of material events. Breaches of the Trial Measures, such as offering and listing securities overseas without fulfilling the filing procedures, for the domestic company to be listed, shall bear legal liabilities, including a fine between RMB 1.0 million (approximately $150,000) and RMB 10.0 million (approximately $1.5 million), and the Trial Measures heighten the cost for offenders by enforcing accountability with administrative penalties and incorporating the compliance status of relevant market participants into the Securities Market Integrity Archives.

Table of Contents

Since the Trial Measures have come into effect as of the date of this prospectus, under the currently effective PRC laws and regulations, we are required to make filings with the CSRC and should complete the filing before our listing on the Nasdaq. As of the date of this prospectus, we are in the process of preparing a report and other required materials in connection with the CSRC filing procedures, which will be submitted to the CSRC in due course. However, if we fail to complete the filing procedure in a timely manner under PRC laws and regulations, we may be subject to investigations by competent regulators, fines or penalties, ordered to suspend our relevant operations and rectify any non-compliance, prohibited from engaging in relevant business or conducting any offering, and these risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations, limit our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless. As the Circular and Trial Measures were newly published, there exists uncertainty with respect to the filing requirements and their implementation. Any failure or perceived failure of us to fully comply with such new regulatory requirements could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Under the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, a domestic company is prohibited from overseas offering and listing if any of the following circumstances is involved: (1) where such securities offering and listing is explicitly prohibited by provisions in laws, administrative regulations and relevant state rules; (2) where the intended securities offering and listing may endanger national security as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with law; (3) where the domestic company intending to make the securities offering and listing, or its controlling shareholders and the actual controller, have committed crimes such as corruption, bribery, embezzlement, misappropriation of property or undermining the order of the socialist market economy during the latest three years; (4) where the domestic company intending to make the securities offering and listing is suspected of committing crimes or major violations of laws and regulations, and is under investigation according to law, and no conclusion has yet been made thereof; and (5) where there are material ownership disputes over equity held by the domestic company’s controlling shareholder or by other shareholders that are controlled by the controlling shareholder and/or actual controller. Moreover, a domestic company that seeks to offer and list securities in overseas markets shall abide by certain other regulatory requirements as set out in the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, including without limitation to, compliance with national secrecy, foreign investment, cybersecurity, data security, cross-border investment and financing, foreign exchange, and other laws and relevant provisions. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — The filing, approval or other administration requirements of the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with our future offshore offering under PRC law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or for how long we will be able to complete the filing procedure with the CSRC and obtain such approval or complete such filing, as applicable” on page 24.

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

Furthermore, the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions stipulates that a domestic company that provides accounting archives or copies of accounting archives to any entities including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators and individuals shall fulfill due procedures in compliance with applicable regulations. Working papers produced in the Chinese mainland by securities companies and securities service providers in the process of undertaking businesses related to overseas offering and listing by domestic companies shall be

retained in the Chinese mainland. Where such documents need to be transferred or transmitted to outside the Chinese mainland, relevant approval procedures stipulated by regulations shall be followed. We believe that this offering does not involve the leaking of any state secret or working secret of government agencies, or the harming of national security and public interests. However, we may be required to perform additional procedures in connection with the provision of accounting archives; Given on the provisions of the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, our PRC operation entity Galle has established the “Information Disclosure Business Process” and “Archives Management System”.

Our PRC legal counsel, Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, has advised us that, based on its understanding of the current PRC laws and regulations, our corporate structure and arrangements are not subject to the M&A Rules. However, our PRC legal counsel has further advised us that there are substantial uncertainties as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in the context of an overseas offering, and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, rules and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules.

The Circular and Trial Measures, and any related implementing rules to be enacted may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China.”

Under the PRC EIT Law, an enterprise established outside China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes and is generally subject to a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate on its worldwide income. Under the implementation regulations to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as the body that exercises full and substantial control and overall management over the business, productions, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. If a non-resident enterprise sets up an organization or establishment in the PRC, it will be subject to enterprise income tax for the income derived from such organization or establishment in the PRC and for the income derived from outside the PRC but with an actual connection with such organization or establishment in the PRC. However, if non-resident enterprises have not formed permanent establishments or premises in the PRC, or if they have formed permanent establishments or premises in the PRC but their relevant income derived in the PRC is not related to those establishments, then their enterprise income tax would be set at a rate of 10% for their income sourced from inside the PRC.

The PRC EIT Law and its implementation rules, which was promulgated on December 6, 2007 and took effect on January 1, 2008 and partly amended on April 23, 2019 and became effective on the same date, permit certain “high and new technology enterprises strongly supported by the state” that independently own core intellectual property and meet statutory criteria, to enjoy a reduced 15% enterprise income tax rate. On January 29, 2016, the State Administration for Taxation, or SAT, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the Administrative Rules for the Certification of High and New Technology Enterprises specifying the criteria and procedures for the certification of High and New Technology Enterprises, and the certificate of a high and new technology enterprise, is valid for three years.

Pursuant to Circular of the State Administration of Taxation on Printing and Distributing the Implementing Measures for Special Tax Adjustments (for Trial Implementation), effective on January 1, 2008, enterprises shall adopt a reasonable transfer pricing method when conducting transactions with their affiliates. Tax authorities have the power to assess whether related transactions conform to the principle of equity and make adjustments accordingly. Therefore, the invested enterprise should faithfully report relevant information of its related transactions. Pursuant to the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issuing the Administrative Measures for Special Tax Adjustment and Investigation and Mutual Consultation Procedures, effective on May 1, 2017, an enterprise may adjust and pay taxes at its own discretion when it receives a special tax adjustment risk warning or identifies its own special tax adjustment risks, and the tax authorities may also carry out special tax investigation and adjustment in accordance with the relevant provisions in regard to enterprises that adjust and pay taxes at their own discretion.

In January 2009, the SAT promulgated the Provisional Measures for the Administration of Withholding of Enterprise Income Tax for Non-resident Enterprises, or the Non-resident Enterprises Measures, which was repealed by Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Relating to Withholding at Source of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises in December 2017. According to the new announcement that amended on June 15, 2018, it shall apply to handling of matters relating to withholding at source of income tax of non-resident enterprises pursuant to the provisions of Article 37, Article 39 and Article 40 of the Enterprise Income Tax Law. According to Article 37, Article 39 of the Enterprise Income Tax Law, income tax over non-resident enterprise income pursuant to the provisions of the third paragraph of Article 3 shall be subject to withholding at the source, where the payer shall act as the withholding agent. The tax amount for each payment made or due shall be withheld by the withholding agent from the amount paid or payable. Where a withholding agent fails to withhold tax or perform tax withholding obligations pursuant to the provisions of Article 37, the taxpayer shall pay tax at the place where the income is derived. Where the taxpayer fails to pay tax pursuant to law, the tax authorities may demand payment of the tax amount payable, from a payer of the taxpayer with payable tax amounts from other taxable income items in China.

On April 30, 2009, Ministry of Finance and the SAT jointly issued the Circular on Issues Concerning Treatment of Enterprise Income Tax in Enterprise Restructuring Business, or Circular 59, which became effective retroactively as of January 1, 2008 and was partially revised on January 1, 2014. By promulgating and implementing this circular, the PRC tax authorities have enhanced their scrutiny over the direct or indirect transfer of equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise by a Non-resident Enterprise.

On February 3, 2015, the SAT issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Several Issues Relating to Enterprise Income Tax of Transfers of Assets between Non-resident Enterprises, or SAT Bulletin 7, which was partially abolished on December 29, 2017. SAT Bulletin 7 extends its tax jurisdiction to transactions involving transfer of immovable property in China and assets held under the establishment, and placement in China, of a foreign company through the offshore transfer of a foreign intermediate holding company. SAT Bulletin 7 also addresses transfer of the equity interest in a foreign intermediate holding company broadly. In addition, SAT Bulletin 7 introduces safe harbor scenarios applicable to internal group restructurings. However, it also brings challenges to both the foreign transferor and transferee of the Indirect Transfer as they have to assess whether the transaction should be subject to PRC tax and to file or withhold the PRC tax accordingly.

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 and was revised on June 15, 2018. The SAT Bulletin 37 further clarifies the practice and procedure of withholding of non-resident enterprise income tax.

If non-resident investors were involved in our private equity financing, if such transactions were determined by the tax authorities to lack reasonable commercial purpose, we and our non-resident investors may be at risk of being required to file a return and be taxed under SAT Bulletin 7 and we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with SAT Bulletin 7 or to establish that we should not be held liable for any obligations under SAT Bulletin 7.

PRC Value Added Tax

According to the Temporary Regulations on Value-added Tax, which was most recently amended on November 19, 2017, and the Detailed Implementing Rules of the Temporary Regulations on Value-added Tax, which was amended on October 28, 2011, and became effective on November 1, 2011, all taxpayers selling goods, providing processing, repair or replacement services or importing goods within the PRC shall pay Value-Added Tax. The tax rate of 17% shall be

101

Table of Contents

levied on general taxpayers selling or importing various goods; the tax rate of 17% shall be levied on the taxpayers providing processing, repairing or replacement service; the applicable rate for the export of goods by taxpayers shall be zero, unless otherwise stipulated.

On March 23, 2016, the Ministry of Finance and the SAT jointly issued the Circular on the Pilot Program for Overall Implementation of the Collection of Value Added Tax Instead of Business Tax, or Circular 36, which took effect on May 1, 2016. Pursuant to the Circular 36, all the companies operating in construction, real estate, finance, modern service or other sectors which were required to pay business tax are required to pay VAT, in lieu of business tax. The VAT rate is 6%, except for rate of 11% for real estate sale, land use right transferring and providing service of transportation, postal sector, basic telecommunications, construction, real estate lease; rate of 17% for providing lease service of tangible property; and rate of zero for specific cross-bond activities.

On April 4, 2018, the Ministry of Finance and the SAT promulgated the Notice on Adjusting Value-added Tax Rates, which reduced the tax rates for sale, import and export of goods, as well as the deduction rate for taxpayer’s purchaser of agricultural products. According to the Announcement on Relevant Policies for Deepening the Value-Added Tax Reform, which is jointly issued by Ministry of Finance, SAT and the General Administration of Customs on March 20, 2019 and took effect on April 1, 2019. The tax rate of 16% applicable to the VAT taxable sale or import of goods by a general VAT taxpayer shall be adjusted to 13%.

According to the Circular of the SAT on Printing and Distributing the Administrative Measures for Tax Refund (Exemption) for Exported Goods (for Trial Implementation), effective on May 1, 2005, unless otherwise provided by law, for the goods as exported via an export agency, the exporter may, after the export declaration and the conclusion of financial settlement for sales, file a report to competent State Taxation Bureau for the approval of refund or exemption of VAT or consumption tax on the strength or the relevant certificates.

PRC Dividend Withholding Tax

Pursuant to the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, if a non-resident enterprise has not set up an organization or establishment in the PRC, or has set up an organization or establishment but the income derived has no actual connection with such organization or establishment, it will be subject to a withholding tax on its PRC-sourced income at a rate of 10%. Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion on Income, the withholding tax rate in respect to the payment of dividends by a PRC enterprise to a Hong Kong enterprise is reduced to 5% from a standard rate of 10% if the Hong Kong enterprise directly holds at least 25% of the PRC enterprise. Pursuant to the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation on the Issues concerning the Application of the Dividend Clauses of Tax Agreements, or Circular 81, a Hong Kong resident enterprise must meet the following conditions, among others, in order to enjoy the reduced withholding tax: (i) it must directly own the required percentage of equity interests and voting rights in the PRC resident enterprise; and (ii) it must have directly owned such percentage in the PRC resident enterprise throughout the 12 months prior to receiving the dividends. There are also other conditions for enjoying the reduced withholding tax rate according to other relevant tax rules and regulations. In August 2015, the State Administration of Taxation promulgated the Administrative Measures for Non-Resident Taxpayers to Enjoy Treatments under Tax Treaties, or Circular 60, which became effective on November 1, 2015. Circular 60 provides that non-resident enterprises are not required to obtain pre-approval from the relevant tax authority in order to enjoy the reduced withholding tax rate. Instead, non-resident enterprises and their withholding agents may, by self-assessment and on confirmation that the prescribed criteria to enjoy the tax treaty benefits are met, directly apply the reduced withholding tax rate, and file necessary forms and supporting documents when performing tax filings, which will be subject to post-tax filing examinations by the relevant tax authorities. Accordingly, Galle HK, our Hong Kong subsidiary, may be able to enjoy the 5% withholding tax rate for the dividends they receive from our PRC subsidiary, respectively, if they satisfy the conditions prescribed under Circular 81 and other relevant tax rules and regulations. However, according to Circular 81 and Circular 60, if the relevant tax authorities consider the transactions or arrangements we have are for the primary purpose of enjoying a favorable tax treatment, the relevant tax authorities may adjust the favorable withholding tax in the future.

Tax on Indirect Transfer

On February 3, 2015, the SAT issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Several Issues Relating to Enterprise Income Tax of Transfers of Assets between Non-resident Enterprises, or SAT Bulletin 7, as amended in 2017, which partially replaced and supplemented previous rules under the Notice on Strengthening

102

Table of Contents

Administration of Enterprise Income Tax for Share Transfers by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or SAT Circular 698, issued by the SAT on December 10, 2009. Pursuant to SAT Bulletin 7, an “indirect transfer” of assets, including equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise, by non-PRC resident enterprises, may be recharacterized and treated as a direct transfer of PRC taxable assets, if such arrangement does not have a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of avoiding payment of PRC enterprise income tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax. When determining whether there is a “reasonable commercial purpose” of the transaction arrangement, factors to be taken into consideration include, inter alia, whether the main value of the equity interest of the relevant offshore enterprise derives directly or indirectly from PRC taxable assets; whether the assets of the relevant offshore enterprise mainly consist of direct or indirect investment in China or if its income is mainly derived from China; and whether the offshore enterprise and its subsidiaries directly or indirectly holding PRC taxable assets have real commercial nature that is evidenced by their actual function and risk exposure. The SAT Bulletin 7 does not apply to transactions of sale of shares by investors through a public stock exchange where such shares were acquired on a public stock exchange. On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Issues Relating the Withholding at Source of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises, or SAT Bulletin 37, which became effective on December 1, 2017, and SAT Circular 698 then was repealed with effect from December 1, 2017. SAT Bulletin 37 further elaborates on the relevant implemental rules regarding the calculation, reporting and payment obligations of the withholding tax by the non-resident enterprises. Nonetheless, there remain uncertainties as to the interpretation and application of the SAT Bulletin 7. The SAT Bulletin 7 may be determined by the tax agencies to be applicable to our offshore transactions or sale of our shares or those of our offshore subsidiaries where non-resident enterprises, being the transferors, were involved.

Regulations Relating to Foreign Exchange

Regulations on Foreign Currency Exchange

The principal regulations governing foreign currency exchange in China are the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations, most recently amended in August 2008. Under the PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, such as profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. By contrast, approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital account items, such as direct investments, repayment of foreign currency-denominated loans, repatriation of investments and investments in securities outside of China.

In November 2012, SAFE promulgated the Circular of Further Improving and Adjusting Foreign Exchange Administration Policies on Foreign Direct Investment, which substantially amends and simplifies the current foreign exchange procedure. Pursuant to this circular, the opening of various special purpose foreign exchange accounts, such as pre-establishment expenses accounts, foreign exchange capital accounts and guarantee accounts, the reinvestment of RMB proceeds derived by foreign investors in the PRC, and remittance of foreign exchange profits and dividends by a foreign-invested enterprise to its foreign shareholders no longer require the approval or verification of SAFE, and multiple capital accounts for the same entity may be opened in different provinces, which was not possible previously. In addition, SAFE promulgated another circular in May 2013, which specifies that the administration by SAFE or its local branches over direct investment by foreign investors in the PRC must be conducted by way of registration and banks must process foreign exchange business relating to the direct investment in the PRC based on the registration information provided by SAFE and its branches. On February 28, 2015, SAFE promulgated the Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving the Administration of the Foreign Exchange Concerning Direct Investment, or SAFE Notice 13. After SAFE Notice 13 became effective on June 1, 2015, instead of applying for approvals regarding foreign exchange registrations of foreign direct investment and overseas direct investment from SAFE, entities and individuals may apply for such foreign exchange registrations from qualified banks. The qualified banks, under the supervision of SAFE, may directly review the applications and conduct the registration.

On March 30, 2015, SAFE promulgated Circular 19, which expands a pilot reform of the administration of the settlement of the foreign exchange capitals of foreign-invested enterprises nationwide. Circular 19 came into force and replaced both previous Circular 142 and Circular 36 on June 1, 2015. On June 9, 2016, SAFE promulgated Circular 16 to further expand and strengthen such reform. Under Circular 19 and Circular 16, foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC are allowed to use their foreign exchange funds under capital accounts and RMB funds from exchange settlement for expenditure under current accounts within its business scope or expenditure under capital accounts permitted by

103

Table of Contents

laws and regulations, except that such funds shall not be used for (i) expenditure beyond the enterprise’s business scope or expenditure prohibited by laws and regulations; (ii) investments in securities or other investments than banks’ principal-secured products; (iii) granting of loans to non-affiliated enterprises, except where it is expressly permitted in the business license; and (iv) construction or purchase of real estate for purposes other than self-use (except for real estate enterprises).

Regulations on Foreign Exchange Registration of Overseas Investment by PRC Residents

SAFE issued SAFE Circular on Relevant Issues Relating to Domestic Resident’s Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, that became effective in July 2014, replacing the previous SAFE Circular 75. SAFE Circular 37 regulates foreign exchange matters in relation to the use of special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, by PRC residents or entities to seek offshore investment and financing or conduct round trip investment in China. Under SAFE Circular 37, a SPV refers to an offshore entity established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by PRC residents or entities for the purpose of seeking offshore financing or making offshore investment, using legitimate onshore or offshore assets or interests, while “round trip investment” refers to direct investment in China by PRC residents or entities through SPVs, namely, establishing foreign-invested enterprises to obtain the ownership, control rights and management rights. SAFE Circular 37 provides that, before making contribution into an SPV, PRC residents or entities are required to complete foreign exchange registration with SAFE or its local branch. SAFE promulgated the Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving the Administration of the Foreign Exchange Concerning Direct Investment in February 2015, which took effect on June 1, 2015. This notice has amended SAFE Circular 37 requiring PRC residents or entities to register with qualified banks rather than SAFE or its local branch in connection with their establishment or control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas investment or financing.

PRC residents or entities who had contributed legitimate onshore or offshore interests or assets to SPVs but had not obtained registration as required before the implementation of the SAFE Circular 37 must register their ownership interests or control in the SPVs with qualified banks. An amendment to the registration is required if there is a material change with respect to the SPV registered, such as any change of basic information (including change of the PRC residents, name and operation term), increases or decreases in investment amount, transfers or exchanges of shares, and mergers or divisions. Failure to comply with the registration procedures set forth in SAFE Circular 37 and the subsequent notice, or making misrepresentation on or failure to disclose controllers of the foreign-invested enterprise that is established through round-trip investment, may result in restrictions being imposed on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant foreign-invested enterprise, including payment of dividends and other distributions, such as proceeds from any reduction in capital, share transfer or liquidation, to its offshore parent or affiliate, and the capital inflow from the offshore parent, and may also subject relevant PRC residents or entities to penalties under PRC foreign exchange administration regulations.

Regulations on Dividend Distribution

The principal laws and regulations regulating the distribution of dividends by FIEs in China include the PRC Company Law, as amended in 2004, 2005, 2013, and 2018, and the 2019 PRC Foreign Investment Law and its Implementation Rules. Under the current regulatory regime in China, FIEs in China may pay dividends only out of their retained earnings, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. A PRC company is required to set aside as statutory reserve funds at least 10% of its after-tax profit, until the cumulative amount of such reserve funds reaches 50% of its registered capital, unless laws regarding foreign investment provide otherwise. A PRC company cannot distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset. Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year. Wholly foreign-owned companies may, at their discretion, allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to staff welfare and bonus funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends.

Table of Contents

However, as a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not required to hold any annual general meetings and, under our articles of association, shareholders are not able to requisition a meeting unless the requisitionists, between them, hold in aggregate not less than 10% of our voting share capital in issue. As a result, shareholders who hold less than 10% of our voting share capital in issue may not have opportunity to vote on directors if no general meetings are convened by the board of directors.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors will consist of seven directors upon closing of this offering, four of whom shall be “independent” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq. A director is not required to hold any shares in our company to qualify to serve as a director. Subject to the rules of the relevant stock exchange and disqualification by the chairwoman of the board of directors, a director may vote with respect to any contract, proposed contract, or arrangement in which he or she is materially interested. A director may exercise all the powers of the company to borrow money, mortgage its business, property and uncalled capital and issue debentures or other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any obligation of the company or of any third party. There are no directors’ service contracts with the Company or its subsidiaries providing for benefits upon termination of employment.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Prior to the declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we intend to establish an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee under the board of directors. We intend to adopt a charter for each of the three committees prior to the completion of this offering. Each committee’s members and functions are described below.

Audit Committee.    Our audit committee will consist of [•], [•], and [•] and will be chaired by [•]. We have determined that these three individuals satisfy the “independence” requirements of Nasdaq Rule 5605 and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have determined that Mr. Ji Wang qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” The audit committee will oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company. The audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

        selecting the independent registered public accounting firm and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm;

        reviewing with the independent registered public accounting firm any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;

        reviewing and approving all proposed related party transactions, as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act;

        discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm;

        reviewing major issues as to the adequacy of our internal controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of material control deficiencies;

        annually reviewing and reassessing the adequacy of our audit committee charter;

        meeting separately and periodically with management and the independent registered public accounting firm; and

        reporting regularly to the board of directors.

Compensation Committee.    Our compensation committee will consist of [•], [•], and [•], and will be chaired by [•]. We have determined that these three individuals satisfy the “independence” requirements of Nasdaq Rule 5605 and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The compensation committee will assist the board of directors in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. Our chief executive officer may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation is deliberated upon. The compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things:

        reviewing the total compensation package for our executive officers and making recommendations to the board of directors;

107

Table of Contents

        reviewing the compensation of our non-employee directors and making recommendations to the board of directors with respect to it; and

        periodically reviewing and approving any long-term incentive compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements, annual bonuses, and employee pension and welfare benefit plans.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.    Our nominating and corporate governance committee will consist of [•], [•], and [•], and will be chaired by [•]. We have determined that these three individuals satisfy the “independence” requirements of Nasdaq Rule 5605 and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The nominating and corporate governance committee will assist the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board of directors and its committees. The nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things:

        recommending nominees to the board of directors for election or re-election to the board of directors, or for appointment to fill any vacancy on the board of directors;

        reviewing annually with the board of directors the current composition of the board with regards to characteristics such as independence, age, skills, experience and availability of service to us;

        selecting and recommending to the board of directors the names of directors to serve as members of the audit committee and the compensation committee, as well as of the nominating and corporate governance committee itself; and

        monitoring compliance with our code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our procedures to ensure proper compliance.

Duties of Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, all of our directors owe three types of duties to us: (i) statutory duties, (ii) fiduciary duties, and (iii) common law duties. The Cayman Islands 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 articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time. We have the right to seek damages if a duty owed by any of our directors is breached.

Code of Conduct, Code of Ethics, Insider Trading Policy and Executive Compensation Recovery Policy

Prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we intend to adopt (i) a written code of business conduct and ethics and (ii) Insider Trading Policy that applies to our Directors, officers, and employees, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, and we also intend to adopt an (iii) Executive Compensation Recovery Policy that applies to our officers, and employees, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, (collectively the “Policies”). Following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, a current copy of the Policies will be posted on the Corporate Governance section of our website, which is located at [•]. The information on our website is deemed not to be incorporated in this prospectus or to be a part of this prospectus. We intend to disclose any amendments to the Policies, and any waivers of the Policies for our Directors, executive officers and senior finance executives, on our website to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq.

Foreign Private Issuer Exemption

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 U.S. 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 FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information;

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

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

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. Nasdaq listing rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of its board members be independent. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we may follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements, or we may choose to comply with the above requirement within one year of listing. The corporate governance practice in our home country, the Cayman Islands, does not require a majority of our board to consist of independent directors. Thus, although a director must act in the best interests of the Company, it is possible that fewer board members will be exercising independent judgment and the level of board oversight on the management of our Company may decrease as a result. In addition, Nasdaq listing rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have a compensation committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, and an audit committee with a minimum of three members. We, as a foreign private issuer, are not subject to these requirements. However, we intend to meet this Nasdaq standard that our committees will consist entirely of independent directors. Per Nasdaq listing rules, shareholder approval is required for domestic companies, prior to an issuance of securities in connection with: (i) the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company; (ii) equity-based compensation of officers, directors, employees or consultants; (iii) a change of control; and (iv) transactions other than public offerings. We voluntarily comply with the requirements of the rules and will seek shareholder approval under all situations stated above.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

A copy of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part (and which is referred to in this section as, respectively, the “memorandum” and the “articles”).

We were incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands, or the “Cayman Islands Companies Act,” on November 8, 2023. A Cayman Islands exempted company:

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

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

        does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

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

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

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

        may register as a limited duration company; and

        may register as a segregated portfolio company.

We include summaries of material provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Cayman Islands Companies Act insofar as they relate to the material terms of our share capital.

Ordinary Share

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

Our authorized share capital is US$1,000,000 divided into 100,000,000 ordinary shares, par value US$0.01 per share. Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act and our articles 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. Such authority could be exercised by the directors to allot shares which carry rights and privileges that are preferential to the rights attaching to ordinary share. No share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Cayman Islands 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.

At the completion of this offering assuming no exercise of the Representative’s over-allotment option, there will be [•] ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Shares sold in this offering will be delivered against payment from the Representative upon the closing of the offering in New York, New York, on or about [            ], 2023.

Dividends

Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Islands 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)    the Company’s shareholders may, by ordinary resolution, declare dividends but no such dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the directors.

115

Table of Contents

Subject to the requirements of the Cayman Islands 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 against the Company.

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. On a poll, every shareholder who is present in person and every person representing a shareholder by proxy shall have one vote for each 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.

Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares

Whenever our capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attaching to any class of share (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied either with the consent in writing of the holders of more than one half of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of more than one half 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.

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

Alteration of Share Capital

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

(a)     increase our share capital by new shares of the amount fixed by that ordinary resolution and with the attached rights, priorities and privileges set out in that ordinary resolution;

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

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

(d)    sub-divide our shares or any of them into shares of an amount smaller than that fixed, so, however, that in the sub-division, the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived.

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

Calls on Shares and Forfeiture

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 10 percent per annum. The directors may, at their discretion, waive payment of the interest wholly or in part.

116

Table of Contents

We have a first and paramount lien on every partly-paid or unpaid share for all monies called or payable to us in respect of that share. Our liens on such shares extends to dividends payable thereon.

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 days of the date on which the notice is deemed to be given under the articles, such notice has not been complied with.

Unclaimed Dividend

A dividend that remains unclaimed for a period of six years after it became due for payment shall be forfeited to, and shall cease to remain owing by, the Company.

Forfeiture or Surrender of Shares

If a shareholder fails to pay any call the directors may give to such shareholder not less than 14 clear days’ notice requiring payment and specifying the amount unpaid including any interest which may have accrued, any expenses which have been incurred by us due to that shareholder’s default and the place where payment is to be made. The notice shall also contain a warning that if the notice is not complied with, the shares in respect of which the call is made will be liable to be forfeited.

If such notice is not complied with, the directors may, before the payment required by the notice has been received, resolve that any share the subject of that notice be forfeited (which forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited share and not paid before such forfeiture). The directors may determine that any share the subject of such notice be accepted by the Company as surrendered by the shareholder holding that share in lieu of forfeiture.

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

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

A declaration, whether statutory or under oath, made by a director or the secretary shall be conclusive evidence that the person making the declaration is a director or secretary of us and that the particular shares have been forfeited or surrendered on a particular date.

Subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer, if necessary, the declaration shall constitute good title to the shares.

Share Premium Account

The directors shall establish a share premium account and shall carry the credit of such account from time to time to a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any share or capital contributed or such other amounts required by the Cayman Islands Companies Act.

Redemption and Purchase of Own Shares

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

(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 its directors determine before the issue of those shares;

117

Table of Contents

(b)    with the consent in writing of holders of more than one half of the issued shares of a particular class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of more than one half of the holders of 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 our shares in any manner authorized by the Cayman Islands 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.

Transfer of Shares

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

(a)     where the ordinary shares are fully paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder; and

(b)    where the ordinary shares are unpaid or partly paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder and the transferee.

The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of an ordinary share until the name of the transferee is entered into the register of members of the Company.

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

(a)     the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the ordinary share to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

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

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

(d)    the ordinary share transferred is fully paid and free of any lien in favor of us;

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

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

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

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

Inspection of Books and Records

Holders of our ordinary shares will have no general right under the Cayman Islands Companies Act to inspect or obtain copies of our register of members or our corporate records.

General Meetings

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obligated by the Cayman Islands Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings; accordingly, we may, but shall not be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as an annual general meeting. Any annual general meeting held shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our board of directors.

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 10 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 for a date not later than 45 clear days after the date of receipt of the written requisition, those shareholders who requested the meeting may convene the general meeting themselves within three months after the end of such period of 45 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.

At least seven clear days’ notice of an annual general meeting or any other 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 Cayman Islands 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 half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Shareholders, shall be dissolved. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting the Shareholder or Shareholders present and entitled to vote shall be a quorum.

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 chairwoman 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 10 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 chairwoman 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 chairwoman 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 chairwoman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded, shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

Directors

Shareholders may by ordinary resolution, from time to time, fix the maximum and minimum number of directors to be appointed and, unless and until so fixed, we are required to have a minimum of one director under Cayman Islands law and there will be no maximum number of directors.

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

Unless the remuneration of the directors is determined by the shareholders by ordinary resolution, the directors shall be entitled to such remuneration as the directors may determine.

119

Table of Contents

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

A director will hold office until her or his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until her or his earlier death, resignation or removal. A director may be removed by ordinary resolution of our shareholders at any time.

A director may at any time resign or retire from office by giving us notice in writing. Unless the notice specifies a different date, the director shall be deemed to have resigned on the date that the notice is delivered to us.

Under the articles, the office of a director shall be vacated forthwith if:

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

(b)    he is made bankrupt or makes an arrangement or composition with his creditors generally;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Powers and Duties of Directors

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

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

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

The directors may from time to time and at any time by power of attorney or in any other manner they determine appoint any person, either generally or in respect of any specific matter, to be our agent with or without authority for that person to delegate all or any of that person’s powers.

120

Table of Contents

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

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

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

A director shall not, as a director, vote in respect of any contract, transaction, arrangement or proposal in which he has an interest which (together with any interest of any person connected with him) is a material interest (otherwise then by virtue of his interests, direct or indirect, in shares or debentures or other securities of, or otherwise in or through, us) and if he shall do so his vote shall not be counted, nor in relation thereto shall he be counted in the quorum present at the meeting, but (in the absence of some other material interest than is mentioned below) none of these prohibitions shall apply to:

(a)     the giving of any security, guarantee or indemnity in respect of:

(i)     money lent or obligations incurred by him or by any other person for our benefit or any of our subsidiaries; or

(ii)    a debt or obligation of ours or any of our subsidiaries for which the director himself has assumed responsibility in whole or in part and whether alone or jointly with others under a guarantee or indemnity or by the giving of security;

(b)    where we or any of our subsidiaries is offering securities in which offer the director is or may be entitled to participate as a holder of securities or in the underwriting or sub-underwriting of which the director is to or may participate;

(c)     any contract, transaction, arrangement or proposal affecting any other body corporate in which he is interested, directly or indirectly and whether as an officer, shareholder, creditor or otherwise howsoever, provided that he (together with persons connected with him) does not to his knowledge hold an interest representing one percent or more of any class of the equity share capital of such body corporate (or of any third body corporate through which his interest is derived) or of the voting rights available to shareholders or members of the relevant body corporate;

(d)    any act or thing done or to be done in respect of any arrangement for the benefit of the employees of us or any of our subsidiaries under which he is not accorded as a director any privilege or advantage not generally accorded to the employees to whom such arrangement relates; or

(e)     any matter connected with the purchase or maintenance for any director of insurance against any liability or (to the extent permitted by the Cayman Islands Companies Act) indemnities in favor of directors, the funding of expenditure by one or more directors in defending proceedings against him or them or the doing of any thing to enable such director or directors to avoid incurring such expenditure.

A director may, as a director, vote (and be counted in the quorum) in respect of any contract, transaction, arrangement or proposal in which he has an interest which is not a material interest or as described above.

Capitalization of Profits

The directors may resolve to capitalize:

(a)     any part of our profits not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not those profits are available for distribution); or

(b)    any sum standing to the credit of our share premium account or capital redemption reserve, if any.

121

Table of Contents

The amount resolved to be capitalized must be appropriated to the shareholders who would have been entitled to it had it been distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions.

Liquidation Rights

If we are wound up, the shareholders may, subject to the articles and any other sanction required by the Cayman Islands 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.

Register of Members

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

        the names and addresses of our shareholders, a statement of the shares held by each shareholder, and of the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each shareholder;

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

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

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

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

Issuance of Share Capital

Upon incorporation of the Company on November 8, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 17,030,000 ordinary shares, par value US$0.01 per ordinary share, to 14 founding shareholders for a total consideration of US$168,100.49.

On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into a private placement subscription agreement with Geniusland International Capital (HK) LIMITED, Regal Union Enterprises Limited, and GENIUSLAND INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED, pursuant to which we issued 990,000, 990,000, and 990,000 ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.01, to Geniusland International Capital (HK) LIMITED, Regal Union Enterprises Limited, and GENIUSLAND INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED, respectively, for an aggregate issue price of $29,700. No underwriters were involved in this issuance.

The issued and outstanding shares then became 20,000,000 before the initial public offering.

Differences in Corporate Law

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

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

The Cayman Islands Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (a) “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 (b) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a 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 plan must be filed with the Registrar of Companies in 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 which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman Islands parent company and its Cayman Islands 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 of a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Except in certain limited circumstances, a dissenting shareholder of a Cayman Islands constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his or her shares upon dissenting from a merger or consolidation in accordance with the statutory dissent procedures provided under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. 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, except for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

In addition, there are statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must, in addition, represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, 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:

(a)     the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

(b)    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;

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

(d)    the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Cayman Islands Companies Act.

123

Table of Contents

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, 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)     an act which is illegal or ultra vires with respect to the Company and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders;

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

(c)     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

The Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated articles of association provide that, to the extent permitted by law, we shall indemnify each existing or former secretary, director (including alternate director), and any of our other officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) 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.

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

124

Table of Contents

This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our articles.

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.

Anti-Takeover Provisions in Our Articles

Some provisions of our articles may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue shares at such times and on such terms and conditions as the board of directors may decide without any further vote or action by our shareholders.

Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our articles for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company and for a proper purpose.

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 of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act 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 interests 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, a 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 owes three types of duties to the company: (i) statutory duties, (ii) fiduciary duties, and (iii) common law duties. The Cayman Islands 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 if a duty owed by any of our directors is breached.’

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. The Delaware General Corporation Law does not provide shareholders an express right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, but in keeping with common law, Delaware corporations generally afford shareholders an opportunity to make proposals and nominations provided that they comply with the notice provisions in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. 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.

125

Table of Contents

The Cayman Islands Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our articles provide that general meetings shall 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 10 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 for a date not later than twenty-one clear days’ after the date of receipt of the written requisition, those shareholders who requested the meeting may convene the general meeting themselves within three months after the end of such period of twenty-one 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. Our articles provide no other right to put any proposals before annual general meetings. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obligated by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. However, our corporate governance guidelines require us to call such meetings every year.

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 on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, our articles 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. Subject to the provisions of our articles (which include the removal of a director by ordinary resolution), the office of a director shall be vacated forthwith if (a) he is prohibited by the laws of the Cayman Islands from acting as a director, (b) he is made bankrupt or makes an arrangement or composition with his creditors generally, (c) he resigns his office by notice to us, (d) he only held office as a director for a fixed term and such term expires, (e) in the opinion of a registered medical practitioner by whom he is being treated he becomes physically or mentally incapable of acting as a director, (f) he is given notice by the majority of the other directors (not being less than two in number) to vacate office (without prejudice to any claim for damages for breach of any agreement relating to the provision of the services of such director), (g) he is made subject to any law relating to mental health or incompetence, whether by court order or otherwise, or (h) without the consent of the other directors, he is absent from meetings of directors for continuous period of six months.

Transactions with Interested Shareholders

The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws that is approved by its shareholders, 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 stock or who or which is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and owned 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock 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 which 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.

126

Table of Contents

The Cayman Islands Companies Act 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 the Cayman Islands Companies Act does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, under Cayman Islands law such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the Company and for a proper corporate purpose 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 of directors.

Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act and our articles, the Company may be wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders or, if the Company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of our members. In addition, a company may be wound up by an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.

Variation of Rights Attaching to 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 Cayman Islands Companies Act and our articles, 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 certificate of incorporation may be amended only if adopted and declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, and the bylaws may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and may, if so provided in the certificate of incorporation, also be amended by the board of directors. Under the Cayman Islands Companies Act, our articles may only be amended by special resolution of our shareholders.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Before this offering, there has not been a public market for our ordinary shares, and while we plan to list our ordinary shares on Nasdaq, we cannot assure you that a significant public market for the ordinary shares will develop or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in the public markets after this offering, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. As described below, only a limited number of our ordinary shares currently outstanding will be available for sale immediately after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, after these restrictions lapse, future sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares, including ordinary shares issued upon exercise of outstanding options, in the public market in the United States, or the possibility of such sales, could negatively affect the market price in the United States of our ordinary shares and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Upon the closing of the offering, we will have            outstanding ordinary shares, assuming no exercise of the Representative’s over-allotment option. Of that amount,             ordinary shares will be publicly held by investors participating in this offering, and            ordinary shares will be held by our existing shareholders, some of whom may be our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. As defined in Rule 144, an “affiliate” of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the issuer.

All of the ordinary shares sold in the offering will be freely transferable by persons other than our “affiliates” in the United States without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Ordinary shares purchased by one of our “affiliates” may not be resold, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, including an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act described below.

The ordinary shares held by existing shareholders are, and any ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of options outstanding following the completion of this offering will be, “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities may be sold in the United States only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act. These rules are described below.

Lock-Up Agreements

We have agreed, for a period of three (3) months after the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option or contract to purchase, make any short sale, lend 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 equity incentive 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, our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares have also entered into a similar lock-up agreement for a period of three (3) months from the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to our ordinary shares and securities that are substantially similar to our ordinary shares. See “Underwriting” on [•] of this prospectus.

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

Table of Contents

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

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

        1% of the number of ordinary shares then outstanding, in the form of ordinary share or otherwise, which will equal approximately shares immediately after this offering; or

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

TAXATION

People’s Republic of China Enterprise Taxation

Unless otherwise noted in the following discussion, this section is the opinion of Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, our PRC counsel, insofar as it relates to legal conclusions with respect to matters of People’s Republic of China Enterprise Taxation below.

The following brief description of Chinese enterprise laws is designed to highlight the enterprise-level taxation on our earnings, which will affect the amount of dividends, if any, we are ultimately able to pay to our shareholders. See “Dividend Policy” on page 64 of this prospectus.

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

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

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

Currently, we are not aware of any offshore holding companies with a corporate structure similar to ours that has been deemed a PRC “resident enterprise” by the PRC tax authorities. Accordingly, we believe that Galle Cayman and its offshore subsidiaries should not be treated as a “resident enterprise” for PRC tax purposes if the criteria for “de facto management body” as set forth in SAT Notice 82 were deemed applicable to us. However, as the tax residency status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body” as applicable to our offshore entities, we will continue to monitor our tax status.

The implementation rules of the EIT Law provide that, (i) if the enterprise that distributes dividends is domiciled in the PRC or (ii) if gains are realized from transferring equity interests of enterprises domiciled in the PRC, then such dividends or gains are treated as China-sourced income. It is not clear how “domicile” may be interpreted under the EIT Law, and it may be interpreted as the jurisdiction where the enterprise is a tax resident. Therefore, if we are considered as a PRC tax resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders which are non-resident enterprises as well as gains realized by such shareholders from the transfer of our shares may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result become subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%. We are unable to provide a “will” opinion because Beijing DOCVIT Law Firm, our PRC counsel, believes that it is

131

Table of Contents

more likely than not that the Company and its offshore subsidiaries would be treated as a non-resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes because we are not aware of any offshore holding companies with a corporate structure similar to ours that has been deemed a PRC “resident enterprise” by the PRC tax authorities as of the date of the prospectus. Therefore, we believe that it is possible but highly unlikely that the income received by our overseas shareholders will be regarded as China-sourced income.

See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a “resident enterprise” of China. Such Classification will likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders” on page 31 of this prospectus.

Our company pays an EIT rate of 25% for WFOE and its subsidiaries. The EIT is calculated based on the entity’s global income as determined under PRC tax laws and accounting standards. If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, we may be required to withhold a 10% withholding tax from dividends we pay to our shareholders that are non-resident enterprises. In addition, non-resident enterprise shareholders may be subject to a 10% PRC withholding tax on gains realized on the sale or other disposition of our ordinary share, if such income is treated as sourced from within the PRC. It is unclear whether our non-PRC individual shareholders would be subject to any PRC tax on dividends or gains obtained by such non-PRC individual shareholders in the event we are determined to be a PRC resident enterprise. If any PRC tax were to apply to dividends or gains realized by non-PRC individuals, it would generally apply at a rate of 20% unless a reduced rate is available under an applicable tax treaty. However, it is also unclear whether non-PRC shareholders of the Company would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that the Company is treated as a PRC resident enterprise. There is no guidance from the PRC government to indicate whether or not any tax treaties between the PRC and other countries would apply in circumstances where a non-PRC company was deemed to be a PRC tax resident, and thus there is no basis for expecting how tax treaty between the PRC and other countries may impact non-resident enterprises.

Hong Kong Taxation

Entities incorporated in Hong Kong are subject to profits tax in Hong Kong at the rate of 16.5% for each of the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Cayman Islands Taxation

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 the Company levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. No stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on the issue of shares by, or any transfers of shares of, Cayman Islands companies (except those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands). There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

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

United States Federal Income Taxation

WE URGE POTENTIAL PURCHASERS OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES.

The following does not address the tax consequences to any particular investor or to persons in special tax situations such as:

        banks;

        financial institutions;

        insurance companies;

        regulated investment companies;

132

Table of Contents

        advertising investment trusts;

        broker-dealers;

The discussion set forth below is addressed only to U.S. Holders that purchase ordinary share in this offering. Prospective purchasers are urged to consult their own tax advisors about the application of the U.S. federal income tax rules to their particular circumstances as well as the state, local, foreign and other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our ordinary share.

Material Tax Consequences Applicable to U.S. Holders of Our ordinary share

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on our ordinary share

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

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

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

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

Taxation of Dispositions of ordinary share

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

Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”)

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds the ordinary shares or 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 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

134

Table of Contents

the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares or ordinary shares), and (ii) any gain realized on the sale or other disposition including, under certain circumstances, a pledge, of ordinary shares or ordinary shares. Under the PFIC rules:

        the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares or 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 a PFIC (each, a “pre-PFIC year”) will be taxable as ordinary income; and

        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, increased by an additional tax equal to the interest on the resulting tax deemed deferred with respect to each such taxable year.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds the ordinary shares or ordinary shares, and any of our subsidiaries is also a PFIC (a “lower-tier PFIC”), such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC 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” (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such stock. If a U.S. Holder makes this election with respect to the ordinary shares, the 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 the ordinary shares and we cease to be a PFIC, the holder will not be required to take into account the gain or loss described above during any period that we are not 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 the 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.

The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is stock that is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter (“regularly traded”) on a qualified exchange or other market, as defined in applicable United States Treasury regulations. We anticipate that the ordinary shares should qualify as being regularly traded, but no assurances may be given in this regard.

Because a mark-to-market election cannot technically 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.

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 (and generally less adverse than) the general tax treatment for PFICs described above.

If a U.S. Holder owns the ordinary shares or ordinary shares during any taxable year that we are a PFIC, the holder must generally file an annual IRS Form 8621. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the ordinary shares or ordinary shares if we are or become a PFIC.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our ordinary share and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our ordinary share may be subject to information reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and possible U.S. backup withholding under Section 3406 of the US Internal Revenue Code with at a current flat rate of 24%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any

135

Table of Contents

other required certification on U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information. We do not intend to withhold taxes for individual shareholders. 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.

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

In addition to the cash commission, we will also reimburse the Representative for out-of-pocket accountable expenses not to exceed $220,000, for all of its reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses (including, but not limited to, the legal counsel fees and other disbursements). We have paid to US Tiger Securities, Inc. $120,000 in accountable expenses as advance to be applied towards the out-of-pocket expenses, which will be refundable to us to the extent actually not incurred by the Representative in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(C).

We also agreed to pay the Representative a non-accountable expense allowance in the amount equal to one percent (1%) of the gross proceeds of this offering.

We estimate that the total expenses payable by us in connection with the offering, other than the underwriting discounts, will be approximately $            , including a maximum aggregate reimbursement of $220,000 of Representative’s accountable expenses and a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering.

The Representative intends to offer our ordinary shares to their retail customers only in states in which we are permitted to offer our ordinary shares. We have relied on an exemption to the blue sky registration requirements afforded to “covered securities.” Securities listed on a National Securities Exchange are “covered securities.” If we were unable to meet a National Securities Exchange listing standards, then we would be unable to rely on the covered securities exemption to blue sky registration requirements and we would need to register the offering in each state in which we planned to sell shares. Consequently, we will not complete this offering unless we meet a National Securities Exchange’s listing requirements and our application to list on the exchange is approved.

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement and subscription agreement. A form of the underwriting agreement is included as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Underwriter’s Warrants

In addition, we have agreed to grant the Representative non-redeemable warrants to purchase an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the ordinary shares sold in the offering (including the over-allotment shares), which will shall be non-callable and non-cancelable, are due and exercisable upon the closing of the offering for nominal consideration, have a three (3) year term starting from the date of the commencement of sales of the offering, and a cashless exercise feature. Such warrants are exercisable at a price of 125% of the public offering price of the ordinary shares offered pursuant to this offering. The Underwriter’s Warrants and the underlying ordinary shares will be deemed compensation by FINRA, and therefore will be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), and except as otherwise permitted by FINRA rules, neither the Underwriter’s Warrants nor any of our ordinary shares issued upon exercise of the Underwriter’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 by any person, for a period of 180 days beginning on the date of commencement of sales of this offering, except that (i) they may be transferred, in whole or in part, to any member participating in the offering and its officers or partners, its registered persons or affiliates, if all transferred securities remain subject to the lock-up restriction for the remainder of the 180-day lock-up period pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii) they may be exercised or converted, in whole or in part, if all securities received remain subject to the lock-up restriction for the for the remainder of the 180-day lock-up period, (iii) they may be transferred back to the issuer in a transaction exempt from registration with the SEC, or other exceptions as provided under FIRNA Rule 5110(e)(2). Although the Underwriter’s Warrants and the underlying ordinary shares will be registered in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we have also agreed that the Underwriter’s Warrants will provide for registration rights in certain cases. The Underwriter’s Warrants will contain provisions for one demand registration right and unlimited “piggyback” registration rights of the sale of the underlying shares at the Company’s expense. These registration rights apply to all of the securities directly and indirectly issuable upon exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrants. The durations of the demand registration right and the “piggyback” registration right provided will not be more than five years from the commencement of sales of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(C) & (D). The demand registration rights will not be greater than five years from the effective date of this registration statement, in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(G)(8)(C). The piggyback registration right provided will not be greater than seven years from the date of commencement of sales of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D).

Table of Contents

The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may subject to adjustment in the number and price to prevent mechanical dilution, including but not limit to a stock split, stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or other structural transaction. As a result, the warrant exercise price and/or underlying shares may also be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below the warrant exercise price. Additionally, the Underwriter’s Warrants shall contain provisions for automatic exercise immediately prior to the warrants’ expiration and such other terms and conditions no less favorable to US Tiger Securities Inc. than the terms and conditions generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances.

Lock-Up Agreements

We have agreed that, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the underwriting agreement, we will not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, from the date of execution of the underwriting agreement and continuing for a period of three (3) months, (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any ordinary shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for ordinary shares, or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the ordinary shares or any such other securities.

Our directors, executive officers, and most of our existing beneficial owners of our outstanding ordinary shares have agreed with the Representative, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any ordinary shares for a period ending three (3) months after the commencement of the trading of the ordinary shares.

The Representative may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the ordinary shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the Representative will consider, among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

Price Stabilization

The Representative will be required to comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares by the Representative acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, the Representative:

        may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and

        may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution.

Determination of Offering Price

The public offering price of the ordinary shares we are offering was determined by us in consultation with the Representative based on discussions with potential investors in light of the history and prospects of our Company, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, the public stock price for similar companies, general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Securities.

A prospectus in electronic format may be delivered to potential investors by the Representative. The prospectus in electronic format will be identical to the paper version of such prospectus. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the Representative’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the Representative is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.

Foreign Regulatory Restrictions on Purchase of our Ordinary Shares

We have not taken any action to permit a public offering of our ordinary shares outside the United States or to permit the possession or distribution of this prospectus outside the United States. People outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about and observe any restrictions relating to this offering of our ordinary shares and the distribution of this prospectus outside the United States.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the Representative against liabilities relating to the offering arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and to contribute to payments that the Representative may be required to make for these liabilities. We have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification of liabilities under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore, unenforceable.

Application for Nasdaq Listing

We plan to list our ordinary shares on Nasdaq under the symbol “[•]”. We will not consummate and close this offering without a listing approval letter from Nasdaq Capital Market. Our receipt of a listing approval letter is not the same as an actual listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The listing approval letter will serve only to confirm that, if we sell a number of ordinary shares in this offering sufficient to satisfy applicable listing criteria, our ordinary shares will in fact be listed.

If our ordinary shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we will be subject to continued listing requirements and corporate governance standards. We expect these new rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Galleinphi Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Galleinphi Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated 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 audit. 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 audit 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 consolidated 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 audit, 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

Contractual Arrangements

The Company’s VIE subsidiary, Manya Galle, intends to carry out value-added telecommunications services and is in the process of applying for a value-added telecommunications business license. The business category of value-added telecommunications services is within the categories in which foreign investment is restricted pursuant to the current PRC regulations. As such, Galle China is controlled through contractual agreements in lieu of direct equity ownership by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Such contractual arrangements consist of a series of five agreements (collectively the “Contractual Arrangements”). The significant terms of the Contractual Agreements are as follows:

Equity Interest Pledge Agreement

Pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreement entered into among Galle WFOE, Galle China and the shareholders of Galle China, respectively, the shareholders of Galle China pledged all of their equity interests in Galle China to Galle WFOE to guarantee Galle China’s obligations under the contractual arrangements including the exclusive business cooperation agreement, the exclusive option agreement and the shareholders’ power of attorney and this equity interest pledge agreement, as well as any loss incurred due to events of default defined therein and all expenses incurred by Galle WFOE in enforcing such obligations of Galle China, or their shareholders. In the event of default defined therein, upon written notice to the shareholders of Galle China, Galle WFOE, as pledgee, will have the right to dispose of the pledged equity interests in Galle China and priority in receiving the proceeds from such disposition. The shareholders of Galle China agree that, without Galle WFOE’s prior written approval, during the term of the equity pledge agreement, they will not dispose of the pledged equity interests or create or allow any other encumbrance on the pledged equity interests. The pledge shall become effective on such date when the pledge of the equity interest contemplated in the equity interest pledge agreement is registered appropriately, and the pledge shall remain effective until all contractual obligations have been fully performed and all secured indebtedness have been fully paid. The shareholders and Galle China shall not have any right to terminate this agreement in any event unless otherwise required by PRC laws.

Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement

Galle WFOE and Galle China entered into exclusive business cooperation agreements, pursuant to which Galle WFOE has the exclusive right to provide to Galle China technical support, consulting services and other services related to, among other things, design and development, operation maintenance, product consulting, and management and marketing consulting. Galle WFOE has the exclusive ownership of intellectual property rights created as a result of the performance of this agreement. Galle China agrees to pay Galle WFOE service fees at an amount as determined by Galle WFOE. This agreement will remain effective upon execution, and unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of this agreement or terminated in writing by Galle WFOE. Galle China shall not have any right to terminate this agreement in any event unless otherwise required by PRC laws. Galle WFOE executed a supplementary agreement to the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreement with Galle China, which amended the “services fee” to be VIE’ net income, which is pretax income after deducting relevant costs and reasonable expenses.

Exclusive Option Agreement

Galle WFOE, Galle China and each of the shareholders of Galle China entered into exclusive option agreements on December 20, 2023, pursuant to which each of the shareholders of Galle China irrevocably granted Galle WFOE an exclusive call option to purchase, or have its designated person(s) to purchase, at its discretion, all or part of their equity interests in Galle China, and the purchase price shall be the lowest price permitted by applicable PRC law. Each of the shareholders of Galle China undertake that, without the prior written consent of Galle WFOE, they may not increase or decrease the registered capital or change its structure of registered capital in other manners, dispose of its

assets or beneficial interest in the material business or allow the encumbrance thereon of any security interest, incur any debts or guarantee liabilities, enter into any material purchase agreements, enter into any merger, acquisition or investments, amend its articles of association, distribute dividends to any of the shareholders or provide any loans to third parties. The Exclusive Option Agreements, together with the Equity Interest Pledge Agreements, the Exclusive Business Cooperation Agreements, and the Powers of Attorney, enable Galle WFOE to exercise effective control over the VIE.

The exclusive option agreement will remain effective until all equity interests in Galle China held by the shareholders of Galle China are transferred or assigned to Galle WFOE or its designated person(s). The shareholders of Galle China shall not have any right to terminate this agreement in any event unless otherwise required by PRC laws.

Power of Attorney

Pursuant to the Powers of Attorney, the shareholders of the VIE unconditionally and irrevocably entrust Galle WFOE or Galle WFOE’s designee to exercise all their rights as the shareholders of the VIE under the articles of association of the applicable VIE, including without limitation to: (a) propose to hold a shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the articles of association of the applicable VIE and attend shareholders’ meeting of the applicable VIE as the agent and attorney of the shareholders of the applicable VIE; (b) exercise all shareholders’ voting rights with respect to all matters to be discussed and voted in the shareholders’ meeting of the applicable VIE, including, but not limited to, the right to designate and appoint the director, the chief executive officer and other senior management members of the applicable VIE; (c) exercise other voting rights the shareholders are entitled to under the laws of China promulgated from time to time; and (d) exercise other voting rights the shareholders are entitled to under the articles of associations of the applicable VIE from time to time.

Each of the Powers of Attorney remains effective within the term during which the shareholders of the applicable VIE remain shareholders of such VIE.

Spousal Consent Letters

The spouses of the shareholders of the VIE agreed, via the spousal consent letters, to the execution of the “Transaction Documents” including: (a) the Equity Interest Pledge Agreements entered into between Galle WFOE and the VIE; (b) the Exclusive Option Agreement entered into with Galle WFOE and the VIE; and (c) the Powers of Attorney entered into with Galle WFOE and the VIE, and the disposal of the equity of the VIE held by the shareholder of the VIE and registered in his or her names. The spouses of the shareholders of the VIE further undertook not to make any assertions in connection with the equity of the VIE which are held by the shareholders of the VIE. The spouses of applicable shareholders of the VIE confirmed that the shareholders can perform, amend, or terminate the Transaction Documents without their authorization or consent. They undertook to execute all necessary documents and take all necessary actions to ensure appropriate performance of the agreements.

Based on the foregoing contractual arrangements signed on December 20, 2023, which grant Galle WFOE effective control of Galle China and its subsidiaries, obligate Galle WFOE to absorb all of the risks of loss from their activities, and enable Galle WFOE to receive all of their expected residual returns, the Company accounts for Galle China and its subsidiaries as VIEs.

The Company consolidates the accounts of Galle China and its subsidiaries for the periods presented herein, in accordance with Regulation S-X-3A-02 promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10, Consolidation.

(In U.S. dollars, unless stated otherwise)

Note 2 — Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries and its VIEs. All transactions and balances among the Company, its subsidiaries and its VIEs have been eliminated upon consolidation. For consolidated VIEs where the Company’s ownership in the VIEs is less than 100%, the equity interest not held by the Company is shown as noncontrolling interests.

Subsidiary is an entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; or has the power to govern the financial and operating policies, to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors, or to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of directors.

Segment Information

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for detailing the Company’s business segments.

The Company uses the management approach to determine reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the CEO and CFO, who review consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.

Based on management’s assessment, the Company determined that it has only one operating segment as defined by ASC 280. This is supported by the operational structure of the Company which is designed and managed to share resources across the entire suite of products offered by the business. Such resources include research and development, product design, marketing, operations, and administrative functions.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period covered by the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. Significant accounting estimates reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements include, but not limited to, provisions for doubtful accounts, and deferred taxes and uncertain tax position. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency translation and transaction

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

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

The reporting currency of the Company is United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. The Company’s subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) conduct their businesses and maintain its books and record in the local currency, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), as their functional currency.

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods; therefore, amounts reported on the consolidated statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

Translation of foreign currencies into US$1 have been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the third is considered unobservable:

 

Level 1 —

 

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

   

Level 2 —

 

Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

   

Level 3 —

 

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The fair value for certain assets and liabilities such as cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable — related parties, prepayments, other receivables and other current assets, accounts payable, contract liabilities, contract liabilities — related party, short-term loans, notes payable, accrued expenses and other payables, and tax payables have been determined to approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments. The Company and its subsidiaries did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The Company noted no transfers between levels during any of the periods presented. The Company did not have any instruments that were measured at fair value on a recurring nor non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Cash

Cash represents cash on hand and demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use and have original maturities less than three months.

F-14

(In U.S. dollars, unless stated otherwise)

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

Restricted cash

The Company had notes payable outstanding with various banks and was required to keep certain amounts on deposit that were subject to withdrawal restrictions. The notes payable are generally short term in nature due to its maturity period of one year or less. In addition, the Company has a few suppliers who require letter of guarantee from banks for purchases. The Company will then deposit a specified amount of cash into restriction to get the letter of guarantee, which restriction term is also one year or less. Thus, all restricted cash was classified as a current asset.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $41.4 million in cash under six-month or one-year restriction for notes payable and had approximately $10,000 in cash under six-month restriction for letter of guarantee. As of June 30, 2022, a related party deposited $3,731,510 in bank and applied for a bank acceptance in the same amount for the Company, so the balance of restricted cash is $3,731,510 less than the notes payable balance at the year end of 2022.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount less an allowance for any uncollectible accounts and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable usually are due after 30 to 90 days, depending on the credit term with its customers.

Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer’s financial condition and credit history to make adjustments in the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company’s management continues to evaluate the reasonableness of the valuation allowance policy and update it if necessary.

Prepayments

The Company makes prepayments to suppliers in advance of receiving goods or services in accordance with underlying contractual terms with suppliers. Generally, prepayments are intended to expedite the delivery of required inventories as needed and to help ensure priority and preferential pricing on such goods or services. These prepayments are unsecured and are reviewed periodically to determine whether the prepayment will be timely realized through the receipt of inventories, services, or refunds. If any amounts are deemed not realizable, the Company will recognize an allowance account to reserve for such balances. Management reviews its prepayments on a regular basis to determine if the valuation allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. During the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, no provision of doubtful accounts was made for prepayments.

Other receivables and other current assets, net

Other receivables and other current assets primarily include receivable from employee advances, security deposits, advances to third parties, interest income receivables and others. Management regularly reviews the aging of receivables and changes in payment trends and records allowances when management believes collection of amounts due are at risk. Accounts considered uncollectable are written off against allowances after exhaustive efforts at collection are made.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets with no residual value. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Category

 

Expected useful lives

Office equipment

 

3 years

5 years

(In U.S. dollars, unless stated otherwise)

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

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterments, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

Impairment for long-lived assets

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets) indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of the assets based on the undiscounted future cash flows the assets are expected to generate and recognize an impairment loss when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset plus net proceeds expected from disposition of the asset, if any, are less than the carrying value of the asset. If an impairment is identified, the Company would reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value based on a discounted cash flows approach or, when available and appropriate, to comparable market values. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

Revenue recognition

The Company follows the revenue accounting requirements of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606”). The core principle underlying the revenue recognition of this ASU allows the Company to recognize — revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange.

To achieve that core principle, the Company applies five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation.

Currently, the Company has two business lines, which includes 1) products sales made to third party wholesalers or ecommerce websites; and 2) product sales to individual customers through third party ecommerce websites. The Company is principal party to fulfill the orders. Accordingly, the Company recognized the product revenue when control of the products is passed to the customer, which is the point in time that the customers obtain control of the merchandise. The transfer of control typically occurs at a point in time based on consideration of when the customer has an obligation to pay for the goods, and physical possession of, legal title to, and the risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has been transferred, and the customer has accepted the goods. Revenue is recognized net of product returns, customer discounts and allowance. Historically, the Company has not experienced any significant returns nor provided significant customer discounts.

To distinguish a promise to provide products from a promise to facilitate the sale from a third party, the Company considers the guidance of control in ASC 606-10-55-37A and the indicators in 606-10-55-39. The Company considers this guidance in conjunction with the terms in the Company’s arrangements with both suppliers and customers. In general, the Company controls the products as it has the obligation to (i) fulfill the products delivery and (ii) bear any inventory risk as legal owners as the Company. The Company believes that all these factors indicate that the Company is acting as a principal in this transaction. As a result, revenue from the sales of products is presented on a gross basis.

Contract liabilities

Contract liabilities represents cash payment received from customers in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations to be satisfied over a period and point in time. Contract liabilities are derecognized when or as revenue is recognized. Due to the generally short-term duration of the relevant contracts, all the performance obligations are expected to be satisfied within one year and are classified as current liabilities.

Contract costs

For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any significant incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers incurred and/or costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606, that shall be recognized as an asset and amortized to expenses in a pattern that matches the timing of the revenue recognition of the related contract.

Chinese value-added tax (“VAT”)

The products sold in the PRC are subject to a Chinese value-added tax (“VAT”). The products sold to the customers outside of China are not subject to a Chinese VAT. The VAT is based on gross sales price and VAT rate is 13% for taxpayers selling consumer products, and 16% prior to September 1, 2021. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in taxes payable. All of the VAT returns filed by the Company’s subsidiaries in China, have been and remain subject to examination by the tax authorities for five years from the date of filing.

Inventory and cost of goods sold

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined under the weighted average method. Adjustments to the carrying value are recorded for estimated obsolescence or excess inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions.

The Company’s costs include the amounts it pays suppliers, costs associated with storage, and transporting the products from the Company’s warehouse to customers’ warehouse or from suppliers to customers’ warehouse, as applicable. According to the contract terms with the Company’s certain major suppliers, the Company’s purchase payments to those suppliers can be reduced directly by purchase rebates received from those suppliers if the Company achieves certain purchase level based on the whole year’s estimated total purchases and when the rebates are probable and can be reasonable estimated. Therefore, the purchase rebates will be applied to offset future purchases.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lease assets and liabilities to be recorded on the balance sheet. The Company adopted this ASU and related amendments as of July 1, 2021 under the modified retrospective approach and elected to early adopt the following lease policies in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company determines whether an arrangement constitutes a lease at inception and

F-17

Table of Contents

Galleinphi Inc
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In U.S. dollars, unless stated otherwise)

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

records lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on its consolidated balance sheets at the lease commencement. The Company measures its lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on its incremental borrowing rate, as the rates implicit in its leases are not determinable. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is the estimated rate the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. The Company measures right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, and initial direct costs it incurs under the lease. The Company begins recognizing rent expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Company.

The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews there coverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company has elected to include the carrying amount of operating lease liabilities in any tested asset group and includes the associated operating lease payments in the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows. For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize impairment loss on its operating lease ROU assets.

Employee benefits

The full-time employees of the Company are entitled to the government mandated defined contribution plan. The Company is required to accrue and pay for these benefits based on certain percentages of the employees’ respective salaries, subject to certain ceilings, in accordance with the relevant government regulations, and make cash contributions to the government mandated defined contribution plan. Total expenses for the plans were $66,610 and $21,908 for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Deferred IPO costs

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 340-10-S99-1, “Other Assets and Deferred Costs — SEC Materials” (“ASC 340-10-S99”) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A, “Expenses of Offering”. Deferred IPO costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other professional expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the Proposed Public Offering and that will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Proposed Public Offering. Should the Proposed Public Offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet assets and liabilities method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax basis. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be utilized with prior net operating loss carried forwards using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be utilized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities.

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

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. No penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. PRC tax returns filed in 2020 to 2022 are subject to examination by any applicable tax authorities.

Noncontrolling interests

Noncontrolling interests represent 49% of the equity interests of DH Galle and Yingya Galle and 5% of the equity interests of Hengya Galle. The noncontrolling interests are presented in the consolidated balance sheets, separately from equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company. Noncontrolling interests in the results of the Company are presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations as an allocation of the total income or loss for the year between non-controlling interest holders and the shareholders of the Company.

Comprehensive income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of two components, net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of a foreign currency translation adjustment resulting from the Company not using the U.S. dollar as its functional currencies.

Statutory reserves

Pursuant to the laws applicable to the PRC, PRC entities must make appropriations from after-tax profit to the non-distributable “statutory surplus reserve fund”. Subject to certain cumulative limits, the “statutory surplus reserve fund” requires annual appropriations of 10% of after-tax profit until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the PRC (“PRC GAAP”) at each year-end). For foreign invested enterprises and joint ventures in the PRC, annual appropriations should be made to the “reserve fund”. For foreign invested enterprises, the annual appropriation for the “reserve fund” cannot be less than 10% of after-tax profits until the aggregated appropriations reach 50% of the registered capital (as determined under PRC GAAP at each year-end). If the Company has accumulated loss from prior periods, the Company is able to use the current period net income after tax to offset against the accumulate loss.

Related party transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person and or their immediate family hold 10% or more of the company’s securities (ii) the Company’s management and or their immediate family, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s — length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

Earnings per share

Earnings per ordinary share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per Ordinary Share is computed

F-19

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In U.S. dollars, unless stated otherwise)

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

in accordance with the treasury stock method and based on the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares and dilutive Ordinary Share equivalents. Dilutive Ordinary Share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per Ordinary Share if their effects would be anti-dilutive. There is no Ordinary Share equivalent issued to date.

Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses — Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update address those stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which to update the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies applying for credit losses, leases, and hedging standard. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, which to improve to the amendments in Update 2016-13 to increase stakeholder awareness of those amendments and to expediate the improvement process. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, which to provide additional guidance on development, governance, and documentation of a systematic methodology for loan losses by registrants engaged in lending activities subject to FASB Topic 326. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023 as the Company is qualified as an emerging growth company. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 205-10, presentation of financial statements”. The amendments in this Update improve the codification by ensuring that all guidance that requires or provides an option for an entity to provide information in the notes to financial statements is codified in the disclosure section of the codification. That reduce the likelihood that the disclosure requirement would be missed. The amendments also clarify guidance so that an entity can apply the guidance more consistently. ASU 2020-10 is

F-20

(In U.S. dollars, unless stated otherwise)

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

effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2022. Early application of the amendments is permitted for any annual or interim period for which financial statements are available to be issued. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. An entity should apply the amendments at the beginning of the period that includes the adoption date. The adoption of this standard on July 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

Note 3 — Variable interest entity (“VIE”)

A VIE is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, such as through voting rights, right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity or obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity. The variable interest holder, if any, that has a controlling financial interest in a VIE is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. Galle WFOE is deemed to have a controlling financial interest and be the primary beneficiary of Galle China because it has both of the following characteristics:

(1)    The power to direct activities at Galle China that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance, and

(2)    The obligation to absorb losses of, and the right to receive benefits from Galle China that could potentially be significant to such entity.

Pursuant to the Contractual Arrangements, Galle China pays service fees equal to all of its net income/losses to Galle WFOE. At the same time, Galle WFOE is obligated to absorb all of Galle China’s income/losses. The Contractual Arrangements are designed so that Galle China operates for the benefit of Galle WFOE and ultimately, the Company.

Under the VIE Arrangements, the Company has the power to direct activities of Galle China and can have assets transferred out of Galle China. Therefore, the Company considers that there is no asset in Galle China that can be used only to settle obligations of Galle China, except for registered capital and PRC statutory reserves, if any. As Galle China is incorporated as limited liability company under the Company Law of the PRC, creditors of the Galle China do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company for any of the liabilities of Galle China. Accordingly, the accounts of Galle China and its subsidiaries are consolidated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, its financial positions and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 12 — Shareholders’ equity

Ordinary shares

Galleinphi Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands on November 8, 2023. The authorized number of ordinary shares is 100,000,000 with a par value of $0.01. The issued and outstanding shares is 17,030,000.

Statutory reserves

The PRC entities are required to set aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital. In addition, the PRC entities may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion fund and staff bonus and welfare fund at its discretion. The PRC entities may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to a discretionary surplus fund at its 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 China is subject to examination by the banks designated by State Administration of Foreign Exchange. During the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the PRC entities collectively attributed $243,783 and $8,849 of retained earnings for their statutory reserves, respectively.

Restricted assets

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiary. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the PRC entities only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the PRC entities.

As a result of the foregoing restrictions, the PRC entities are restricted in their ability to transfer their assets to the Company. Foreign exchange and other regulation in the PRC may further restrict the PRC entities from transferring funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, amounts restricted are paid-in-capital and statutory reserve of the PRC entities, which amounted to $932,864 and $470,245, respectively.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws of the PRC (the “EIT Laws”), domestic enterprises and Foreign Investment Enterprises (the “FIE”) are usually subject to a unified 25% enterprise income tax rate while preferential tax rates, tax holidays and even tax exemptions may be granted on case-by-case basis. EIT grants preferential tax treatment on certain Small and Micro Enterprises (“SMEs”). Under this preferential tax treatment, SMEs are entitled to 20% of regular income tax. The Company’s PRC subsidiaries are all SMEs.

Note 13 — Income taxes (cont.)

Company is uncertain when these net operating losses can be utilized.

Note 14 — Concentrations of credit risks

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company conducts credit evaluations of its customers, and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Company evaluates its collection experience and long outstanding balances to determine the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

For the summary below, indicate that they represented 10% or more of the Company’s account balances (accounts receivable, revenue, accounts payable, purchases and prepayments, which are highly concentrated balances)

(a) Major customers

For the year ended June 30, 2023, four customers accounted for 25.7%, 17.9%, 14.3% and 12.0% of the Company’s total revenues. For the year ended June 30, 2022, two customers accounted for 76.0% and 18.8% of the Company’s total revenues.

As of June 30, 2023, one customer accounted for 62.6% of the total balance of accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2022, three customers accounted for 38.9%, 27.9% and 17.6% the total balance of accounts receivable.

(b) Major vendors

For the year ended June 30, 2023, one vendor accounted for 93.5% of the Company’s total purchases. For the year ended June 30, 2022, one vendor accounted for 93.5% of the Company’s total purchases.

As of June 30, 2023, three vendors accounted for 35.4%, 18.7% and 11.0% of the total balance of accounts payable. As of June 30, 2022, two vendors accounted for 71.1% and 20.4% of the total balance of accounts payable.

As of June 30, 2023, one supplier accounted for 86.5% of the total balance of prepayments. As of June 30, 2022, one supplier accounted for 84.8% of the total balance of prepayments.

Note 14 — Concentrations of credit risks (cont.)

(c) Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash. In China, the insurance coverage for cash deposits of each bank is RMB 500,000. As of June 30, 2023, cash balance of RMB 300,263,012 ($41,408,163) was deposited with financial institutions located in China, of which RMB 299,001,303 ($41,234,165), was subject to credit risk. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their credit worthiness.

The Company’s operating subsidiaries are in China, and their functional currency is RMB. As a result, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as the Company’s results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between USD and RMB. If the RMB appreciates against the USD, the value of the Company’s RMB revenues, earnings, and assets as expressed in the Company’s USD financial statements will decline. The Company has not entered any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce the Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk.

The Company is also exposed to risk from its accounts receivable, prepayments and other receivables. These assets are subjected to credit evaluations. An allowance has been made for estimated unrecoverable amounts which have been determined by reference to past default experience and the current economic environment.

Note 15 — Leases

Effective July 1, 2021, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that does not require us to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or fewer, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. US GAAP requires that the Company’s leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses for lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating lease right-of-use of assets

The right-of-use of asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received.

Lease liabilities

Lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed lease payments.

Lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if there is any change in the Group assessment of option purchases, contract extensions or termination options.

The Company has entered in one operating office lease agreement in Hangzhou expiring through April 2024. The lease contains an option to extend at the time of expiration, and the Company has the right of priority of exercising the option. The management of the Company estimated that it will exercise the option and extend the lease to April 2025. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The lease is classified as an operating lease, and lease expense for the lease is recognized on the straight-line basis over the lease term which this Company estimated to be 3 years.

Note 15 — Leases (cont.)

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The discount rate used to calculate present value is incremental borrowing rate or, if available, the rate which is implicit in the lease. The Company determines the incremental borrowing rate for each lease based primarily on its lease term in PRC, which is approximately 4.22%. The total operating lease costs for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $60,537 and $15,425, respectively.

Weighted-average remaining term and discount rate related to leases were as follows:

Contingencies

Legal

From time to time, the Company is party to certain legal proceedings, as well as certain asserted and un-asserted claims. Amounts accrued, as well as the total amount of reasonably possible losses with respect to such matters, individually and in the aggregate, are not deemed to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

COVID-19

In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 virus an international pandemic. The virus spread throughout the world with unfavorable stock market condition during the beginning of March 2020. During March 2020, multiple countries went into a national enforced shut down. These lock downs put significant strain on the world economy and on companies worldwide. Given the rapidly expanding nature of COVID-19 pandemic, and substantially all of our business operations and our workforces are concentrated in China, we believe that it has impacted and will likely continue to impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Although we are currently fully functional, potential impact on our results of operations will also depend on future developments and information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governmental authorities and other entities to contain COVID-19 or to mitigate its impacts, almost all of which are beyond our control.

Note 16 — Commitments and contingencies (cont.)

Inflation

Inflationary factors, such as increases in personnel and shipping costs, could impair the Company’s operating results. Although the Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the revenues do not increase with such increased costs.

Variable interest entity structure

In the opinion of management, (i) the corporate structure of the Company is in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the Contractual Arrangements are valid and binding, and do not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the business operations of Galle’s VIEs are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.

However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that PRC regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view to the foregoing opinion of its management. If the current corporate structure of the Company or the Contractual Arrangements is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Company may be required to restructure its corporate structure and operations in the PRC to comply with changing and new PRC laws and regulations. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss in respect of the Company’s current corporate structure or the Contractual Arrangements is remote based on current facts and circumstances.

Note 17 — Condensed financial information of the parent company

The Company performed a test on the restricted net assets of the consolidated subsidiary in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Rule 4-08 (e) (3), “General Notes to Financial Statements” and concluded that it was applicable for the Company to disclose the financial statements for the parent company.

The subsidiary did not pay any dividend to the Company for the periods presented. For the purpose of presenting parent-only financial information, the Company records its investment in its subsidiary under the equity method of accounting. Such investment is presented on the separate condensed balance sheets of the Company as “Investment in subsidiary” and the income of the subsidiary is presented as “share of income of subsidiary”. Certain information and footnote disclosures generally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed and omitted.

The Company did not have significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations, or guarantees as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN 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 for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated articles of association provide to the extent permitted by law, we shall indemnify each existing or former secretary, director (including alternate director), and any of our other officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against:

(a)     all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former secretary or officer in or about the conduct of our business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former 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 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 secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his own dishonesty.

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

The Underwriting Agreement, the form of which has been filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement, will also provide for indemnification of us and our officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 7.    RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

Founding Transactions

Upon incorporation of the Company on November 8, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 17,030,000 ordinary shares, par value US$0.01 per ordinary share, to 14 founding shareholders for a total consideration of US$168,100.49. These shares were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act.

Private Placement

On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into a private placement subscription agreement with Geniusland International Capital (HK) LIMITED, Regal Union Enterprises Limited, and GENIUSLAND INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED, pursuant to which we issued 990,000, 990,000, and 990,000 ordinary shares of the Company, par value US$0.01, to Geniusland International Capital (HK) LIMITED, Regal Union Enterprises Limited, and GENIUSLAND INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LIMITED, respectively, for an aggregate issue price of $29,700. No underwriters were involved in this issuance.

The above issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions not involving a public offering.

The issued and outstanding shares then became 20,000,000 before the initial public offering.

ITEM 9.    UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)    For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)    For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)    For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(4)    For the purpose of determining any liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the

(iii)   the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
