PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

Subject to Completion

 

Dated [    ], 2024

[            ] Ordinary Shares

Mega Fortune Company Limited

_________________________

This is the initial public offering of the ordinary shares of Mega Fortune Company Limited, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”). We are offering on a firm commitment basis of [__] Ordinary Shares. We expect the initial public offering price of the shares to be in the range of $ [    ] to $[    ] per Ordinary Share. Prior to the completion of this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. We will apply to have our Ordinary Shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”). We have reserved the trading symbol [    ] for listing on the NASDAQ. There is no guarantee or assurance that our Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on NASDAQ, and we will not complete this offering unless we are so listed.

The offering is being made on a “firm commitment” basis by EF Hutton LLC (“EF Hutton”). See “Underwriting.”

Upon the completion of this offering, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under Nasdaq Stock Market Rules because Mericorn Company Limited (“Mericorn”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly owned by Messrs. Ip Tsz Ying, Tin Sze Wai, Tam Tak Seng and Wong Ka Ki, each a 25% shareholder of Mericorn, will own [__]% of our total outstanding Ordinary Shares assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option, or [    ]% of our total outstanding Ordinary Shares if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full. As a “controlled company,” we are permitted to elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. If we rely on these exemptions, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in our Ordinary Shares is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase our Ordinary Shares.

The terms “the Company”, “Mega Fortune”, “we”, “us”, “our company”, and “our” refer to Mega Fortune Company Limited, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and its subsidiaries. We currently conduct our business through our wholly owned subsidiaries Ponte Fides Company Limited, a BVI company, and QBS System Limited, a Hong Kong company, which engage in the business of providing IoT solutions and services. The securities offered in this prospectus are securities of Mega Fortune Company Limited, our Cayman Islands holding company and investors are purchasing an interest in Mega Fortune Company Limited, not our Operating Entity in Hong Kong.

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.

Corporate History and Structure

Mega Fortune Company Limited (“Mega Fortune” or the “Company”) is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, with limited liability on January 3, 2024 as a holding company. The Company operates, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Ponte Fides Company Limited (“Ponte Fides”), a holding company in the BVI and QBS System, an operating entity in Hong Kong.

The Company is the parent company of Ponte Fides, a BVI business company incorporated on February 26, 2024, which in turn wholly owns QBS System, a Hong Kong company incorporated on April 14, 2011.

Prior to the Reorganization described below, QBS System was owned entirely by Flywheel Advanced Technology, Inc. (FWFW:OTC US) (“FWFW”), an OTC listed company. FWFW owned all one hundred (100) ordinary shares of QBS System; QBS System Pty Ltd was owned entirely by QBS System. QBS System owned 1,000 ordinary shares of QBS System Pty Ltd. The 100 shares of QBS System and 1,000 shares of QBS System Pty Ltd constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of each of QBS System and QBS System Pty Ltd, respectively.

Reorganization:

On January 3, 2024, Mega Fortune was incorporated in the Cayman Islands by FWFW and one ordinary share was issued to International Corporation Services Ltd as a nominee shareholder. On January 30, 2024, International Corporation Services Ltd. transferred its share to FWFW and caused an additional 99,999 ordinary shares to be issued to FWFW, totaling 100,000 ordinary shares to FWFW as the sole shareholder of Mega Fortune. FWFW is an OTC listed company.

Table of Contents

On February 6, 2024, Ponte Fides was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands by Mega Fortune, and 1,000 ordinary shares of Ponte Fides were issued to Mega Fortune.

On April 29, 2024, all issued and outstanding shares of QBS System were transferred by its sole shareholder FWFW to Ponte Fides in exchange for HK$100 as Ponte Fides is also an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FWFW.

On July 5, 2024, 100,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Mega Fortune were transferred by its sole shareholder FWFW to Mericorn Company Limited (“Mericorn”) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares was HK$56,360,000. Mericorn transferred to FWFW 9.38% of the total issued and outstanding equity of Elison Virtus Company Limited (“Elison”) in satisfaction of the purchase price of the Shares. Elison holds all of the issued and outstanding equity of Flywheel Financial Strategy (Hong Kong) Company Limited, a company principally engaged in wealth management services. Each of Ip Tsz Ying, Tin Sze Wai, Tam Tak Seng and Wong Ka Ki owns a 25% equity interest of Mericorn.

On July 8, 2024, all 1,000 shares of QBS System Pty Ltd, a company incorporated in Australia were transferred by its sole shareholder QBS System to Wong Ka Ki for a consideration of AUD10,000.

Since the Company and its subsidiaries are and were effectively controlled by the same controlling shareholders before and after the Reorganization, they are considered under common control. The above-mentioned transactions were accounted for as a recapitalization. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Following the Reorganization, the Company has subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the BVI. Details of the subsidiaries of the Company are set out below:

Implications of Being a “Foreign Private Issuer”

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

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

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

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

4

Table of Contents

        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

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

Implications of Being an “Emerging Growth Company”

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and financial disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including but not limited to (1) presenting 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 this prospectus, (2) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), (3) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and (4) exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these exemptions. As a result, investors may find investing in our Ordinary Shares less attractive.

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 of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of such extended transition period.

We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (1) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (2) 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 is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months, or (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

Implications of Being a Controlled Company

Upon the completion of this offering, Mericorn Company Limited (“Mericorn”) will own [    ]% of our total voting power, assuming that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares, or [    ]% of our total voting power, assuming that the over-allotment option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares is exercised by the underwriters in full. Each of Messrs. Ip Tsz Ying, Tin Sze Wai, Tam Tak Seng, and Wong Ka Ki is a 25% shareholder of Mericorn. As a result, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules because Mericorn, will hold more than [    ]% of the voting power for the election of directors. As a “controlled company,” we will be permitted to elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. See “Risk Factors — Risks related to our Ordinary Shares and this offering. We will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules. As a result, we may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements and holders of our Ordinary Shares may not have the same protections generally available to stockholders of other companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States.”

Risks Related to Our Business

        We have a limited history, making it difficult to forecast our future results of operations, albeit our principal operating subsidiary, QBS System, has been in business since 2011. (see page 11 of this prospectus)

        The industry in which we participate is intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed (see page 11 of this prospectus).

        If we fail to upgrade, enhance and expand our products, technology and services to meet customer needs and preferences, the demand for our products, solutions and services may materially diminish (see page 12 of this prospectus).

        We have derived and may continue to derive most of our revenue from our IoT Integration Solution Services, and related products and services, which account for over 57% of our total revenue. We also expect to generate significant revenue from these products and solutions in the future. If the market for our core products and solutions ceases to exist or diminishes significantly, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected (see page 12 of this prospectus).

        The average selling prices of our products and services may decrease from time to time due to technological advancement, and we may not be able to pass onto our suppliers such decreases, which may in turn adversely affect our profitability (see page 13 of this prospectus).

        If we are unable to maintain or enhance our brand recognition, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected (see page 13 of this prospectus).

        Our revenue and profit sustainability depend on our ability to maintain our competitiveness through providing high quality products and services (see page 14 of this prospectus).

Risks Related to Our Operations

        We have incurred net gains and positive cash flows from historic operating activities in the past, and we may not continue to achieve or sustain profitability (see page 14 of this prospectus).

        Our business requires significant financial resources, but we may not be able to obtain these in a timely manner and on favorable terms or at all (see page 15 of this prospectus).

        We may not be able to price our products at our desired margins as a result of any decrease in our bargaining power or changes in market conditions (see page 15 of this prospectus).

        High customer concentration exposes us to all of the risks faced by our major customers and may subject us to significant fluctuations or declines in revenues (see page 15 of this prospectus).

        We may be unable to make the substantial research and development investments that are required to remain competitive in our business (see page 16 of this prospectus).

        Cybersecurity incidents, including data security breaches or computer viruses, could harm our business by disrupting our delivery of services, damaging our reputation or exposing us to liability (see page 17 of this prospectus).

       The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, and the related regulations are evolving quickly. Further implementations and interpretations of or amendments to the HFCA Act or the related regulations, or a PCAOB’s determination of its lack of sufficient access to inspect our auditor, might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our operations in Hong Kong. A potential consequence is that our ordinary shares may be delisted by the exchange. The delisting of our ordinary shares, or the threat of our ordinary shares being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. Additionally, the inability of the PCAOB to conduct full inspections of our auditor deprives our investors of the benefits of such inspections. (see page 18 of this prospectus).

Table of Contents

Risks Relating To The Industry In Which We Operate

        We operate in a highly competitive market for IoT products and services (see page 21 of this prospectus).

        Failure to comply with, or changes in, laws and regulations applicable to our businesses could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences (see page 21 of this prospectus).

        Failure to comply with privacy, data protection and cyber security laws and regulations could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences (see page 21 of this prospectus).

Risks Relating To Doing Business in Hong Kong

        Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in mainland China with little or no advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over mainland China-based companies listed overseas using the variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. In the future, we may be subject to PRC laws and regulations related to the current business operations of our operating subsidiaries and any changes in such laws and regulations and interpretations may impair their ability to operate profitably, which could result in a material negative impact on their operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale (see page 23 of this prospectus).

        It may be difficult for U.S. regulators, such as the Department of Justice, the SEC, and other authorities, to conduct investigation or collect evidence in Hong Kong (see page 25 of this prospectus).

        The enactment of Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Hong Kong National Security Law”) could impact our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong (see page 26 of this prospectus).

        There are some political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong (see page 26 of this prospectus).

Risks Related To This Offering And Ownership Of Our Ordinary Shares

        Future sales of a substantial amount of our Ordinary Shares may cause our stock price to decline (see page 27 of this prospectus).

        Limited trading volume of our Ordinary Shares may impact our share price (see page 27 of this prospectus).

        Our stock price may be volatile and may result in substantial losses for investors (see page 27 of this prospectus).

        We will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules. As a result, we may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements and holders of our Ordinary Shares may not have the same protections generally available to stockholders of other companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States (see page 28 of this prospectus).

        Our Ordinary Shares may be thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares (see page 29 of this prospectus).

        We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively (see page 30 of this prospectus).

These risks are discussed more fully in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of this prospectus, and other information included in this prospectus. These should be reviewed for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that we face.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below represent our known material risks to our business. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, you may lose all or part of your investment. You should not invest in this offering unless you can afford to lose your entire investment.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS

As a new company, Mega Fortune has a limited operating history (albeit QBS Systems has been operating since 2011), making it difficult to forecast our future results of operations.

Mega Fortune was incorporated in January 2024 although our main operating subsidiary QBS System commenced operations on April 14, 2011. Our relatively limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and prospects, and to plan for our anticipated future growth. As a result of our limited history, our ability to accurately forecast our future results of operations is limited and subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. Our historical revenue growth should not be considered indicative of our future performance.

Further, in future periods, our revenue growth could slow down or our revenue could decline for a number of reasons, including slowing demand for our offerings, increased competition, changes to technology, a decrease in the growth of our overall market, or our failure, for any reason, to continue to take advantage of growth opportunities. We have also encountered, and will continue to encounter, risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, such as the risks and uncertainties described below. If our assumptions regarding these risks and uncertainties and our future revenue growth are incorrect, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, and our business could suffer.

The industry in which we participate is intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our operating results could be harmed.

The IoT market in which we compete requires continuous innovation and is highly competitive, rapidly evolving, subject to changing technology, shifting customer needs and frequent introductions of new products and services. Our competitors in the IoT enterprise marketplace include vendors of IoT devices and products, cloud platform providers for certain hardware and application vendors, hardware providers offering sensors and cloud integration partners, and IoT platforms from companies that have existing relationships with hardware and software companies. We compete on a service basis, with customized products and services, by offering fully integrated IoT device connectivity to a variety of niche markets. New competitors could launch new businesses in our markets at a relatively low cost since technological and financial barriers to entry are relatively low. Some of our current and potential competitors may have competitive advantages, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories, significant installed bases, broader geographic scope, and larger marketing budgets, as well as substantially greater financial, technical, personnel, and other resources. In addition, our potential competitors may have established marketing relationships and access to larger customer bases, and have major service agreements with consultants influencing their purchasing decisions. We may also experience competition from smaller, younger competitors that may be more agile in responding to customers’ demands. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements or provide competitive pricing. As a result, even if our services are more effective than the services that our competitors offer, potential customers might select competitive services in lieu of purchasing our services. For these reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against our current and future competitors, which could negatively impact our future sales and harm our business and financial condition.

In order to differentiate our services from our competitors’, we must continue to focus on improving our existing services and adapt to current technologies. If our services fail to achieve widespread market acceptance, if existing customers do not subscribe to our paid subscription services, or if we are not successful in capitalizing on opportunities in the connected IoT market, our future growth may be slowed and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

11

Table of Contents

If we fail to upgrade, enhance and expand our products, technologies and services to meet customer needs and preferences, the demand for our products, solutions and services may materially diminish.

Our businesses operate in industries that are subject to rapid technological advances and changing customer needs and preferences. In order to remain competitive and responsive to customer demands, we continually upgrade, enhance, and expand our technologies, solutions and services. If we fail to respond successfully to technology challenges and customer needs and preferences, the demand for our solutions and services may diminish. In addition, investment in product development often involves a long return on investment cycle. We have made and expect to continue to make significant investments in product development. We must continue to dedicate a significant amount of resources to our development efforts before knowing to what extent our investments will result in products and services the market will accept. In addition, our business could be adversely affected in periods surrounding our new product introductions if customers delay purchasing decisions to evaluate the new product offerings. Furthermore, we may not execute successfully on our product development strategy, including because of challenges with regard to product planning and timing and technical hurdles that we fail to overcome in a timely fashion. Other risks include the following:

        our product planning efforts may fail to result in the development or commercialization of new technologies or ideas;

        our research and development efforts may fail to translate new product plans into commercially feasible products;

        our new technologies or new products may not be well received by consumers;

        we may not have adequate funding and resources necessary for continual investments in product planning and research and development;

        our products may become obsolete due to rapid advancements in technology and changes in consumer preferences; and

        our newly developed technologies may not be protected as proprietary intellectual property rights.

Any failure to anticipate next-generation technologies or changes in customer preferences or to timely develop new or enhanced products in response could result in decreased revenue and market share. In particular, we may experience difficulties with product design, product development, marketing or certification, which could result in excessive research and development expenses and capital expenditure, delays or prevent our introduction of new or enhanced products. Furthermore, our research and development efforts may not yield the expected results or may prove to be futile due to the lack of market demand.

We have derived and may continue to derive most of our revenue from our IoT Integration Solution Services. We also expect to generate significant revenue from our IoT Integration Solution Services in the future. If the market for IoT Integration Solution Services cease to exist or diminishes significantly, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

Historically, our revenue has been primarily derived from the provision of IoT Integration Solution Services. In 2022 and 2023, sales of our IoT Integration Solution Services generated approximately $1.57 million and $1.86 million respectively, which accounted for 45% and 57% of our total revenue. We expect to generate, in the foreseeable future, a significant portion of our revenue from sales of these products and solutions.

If the market for any of the above-mentioned products and solutions ceases to exist or diminishes significantly, we would experience a significant loss of sales, cancelation of orders, or loss of customers for our current and future products and solutions. Similarly, if we cannot maintain the scale and profitability of our products and solutions and, at the same time, successfully expand our business in other application markets, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects will suffer. Furthermore, brand image deterioration and margin squeeze caused by increased operating costs, declining economic returns or pricing competition for our products and solutions could all have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

12

Table of Contents

We face risks associated with the expansion of our business operations overseas and if we are unable to effectively manage such risks, our business growth and profitability may be negatively affected.

We intend to grow our business in part by expand our sales network and operations internationally beyond Hong Kong. Our expansion plans include possibly establishing additional offices for sales, research and development and other operations in the United States, Singapore and Middle East. However, there are risks associated with such global expansion plans, including:

        high costs of investment to establish a presence in a new market and manage international operations;

        competition in unfamiliar markets;

        foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

        regulatory differences and difficulties in ensuring compliance with multi-national legal requirements and multi-national operations;

        changes in economic, legal, political or other local conditions in new markets;

        our limited customer base and limited sales and relationships with international customers;

        competitors in the overseas markets may be more dominant and have stronger ties with customers and greater financial and other resources;

        challenges in managing our international sales channels effectively;

        difficulty in ensuring that our customers comply with the sanctions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control in the United States and regulators in other countries and regions, on various foreign states, organizations and individuals; and

        governmental policies favoring domestic companies in certain foreign markets or trade barriers including export requirements, tariffs, taxes and other restrictions and charges. In particular, a worldwide trend in favor of nationalism and protectionist trade policy and the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and PRC as well as other potential international trade disputes could cause turbulence in international markets. These government policies or trade barriers could increase the prices of our products and make us less competitive in such countries.

If we are unable to effectively manage such risks, we may encounter difficulties in our overseas expansion plans and our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition may be impaired.

The average selling prices of our products may decrease from time to time due to technological advancement, and we may not be able to pass onto our suppliers such decreases, which may in turn adversely affect our profitability.

The IoT industry is characterized by rapid launches of new products, continuous technological advancements, and changing market trends and customer preferences, all of which translate to a shorter life cycle and a gradual decrease in the average selling prices of products over time. Because we compete in an environment of rapidly-evolving technology advancement and market trends, we may need to lower the price of our products to gain stronger market competitiveness and we cannot assure you that we will be able to pass on any decrease in average selling prices of our products to our suppliers. If the average selling prices of our products unusually or significantly decrease and such decreases cannot be offset by a corresponding decrease in the prices of the principal components of our products, our gross profit margins may be materially and adversely affected, which in turn, may adversely affect our profitability.

If we are unable to maintain or enhance our brand recognition, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Maintaining and enhancing the recognition, image and acceptance of our brand are important to our ability to differentiate our products from and to compete effectively with our peers. Our brand image, however, could be jeopardized if we fail to maintain high product quality, pioneer and keep pace with evolving technology trends, or timely fulfill the orders for our products. If we fail to promote our brand or to maintain or enhance our brand recognition for QBS System products

13

Table of Contents

and services and awareness among our customers, or if we are subject to events or negative allegations affecting our brand image or the publicly perceived position of our brand, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our revenue and profit sustainability depend on our ability to maintain our competitiveness through providing high quality services.

Our principal operating subsidiary has been conducting business in the IoT industry for more than 13 years. On a consolidated basis restated to take account of the Reorganization, we recorded revenue of approximately $3.49 million and $3.25 million, respectively and profit of approximately $0.30 million and $0.54 million, respectively for the years ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The sustainability of our revenue and profit will depend on the ability to maintain our competitiveness by delivering high quality and innovative products and services.

The competition within the IoT industry is intense. Our competitors and new market entrants may increase in the future resulting in intensified price competition, which could in turn adversely affect our bargaining power in terms of fees charged and consequently our results of operations and prospects. Our market position may be hampered by intensified competition in the form of better products and services and/or price reductions by our competitors. Any failure to maintain our high quality products and services at competitive pricing could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR OPERATIONS

We have incurred net gains and positive/negative cash flows from operating activities in the past, and we may not achieve or sustain profitability.

On a consolidated basis, restated to take account of the Reorganization, we recorded net gain of approximately $0.30 million and $0.54 million in 2022 and 2023, respectively. We also recorded positive cash flow from operating activities of $0.10 million and negative cash flow of $0.03 million in 2022 and 2023, respectively. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to generate net profit or positive cash flow from operating activities in the future. Our ability to achieve continued profitability will depend in large part on our ability to control expenses and manage our growth effectively, achieve a more stable performance given the significant fluctuation and volatility of market prices for our core customers’ businesses, and maintain our competitive advantage in the relevant markets. We expect to continue to make investments in the development and expansion of our business, which will place significant demands on our management and our operational and financial resources. Continuous expansion may increase the complexity of our business, and we may encounter various difficulties. We may fail to develop and improve our operational, financial and management controls, enhance our financial reporting systems and procedures, recruit, train and retain highly skilled personnel, or maintain customer satisfaction to effectively support and manage our growth. If we invest substantial time and resources to expand our operations but fail to manage the growth of our business and capitalize on our growth opportunities effectively, we may not be able to achieve profitability, and our business, results of operations and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a widespread health crisis that adversely affected economies and financial markets worldwide. Government efforts to contain the spread of the coronavirus including lockdowns of cities, business closures, restrictions on travel and emergency quarantines, and responses by businesses and individuals to reduce the risk of exposure to infection, including reduced travel, cancellation of meetings and events, and implementation of work-at-home policies, caused significant disruptions to the global economy and normal business operations. Our results might be significantly impacted by future pandemics resulting in new lockdowns or similar policies adopted in Hong Kong or by other jurisdictions in which we presently or may operate.

Our operating results substantially depend on revenue derived from IoT projects and customer installations. The measures implemented to curb the spread of the virus resulted in supply chain disruptions, insufficient work force and suspended work as COVID-19 persisted. In the event of future pandemics, one or more of our customers, partners, service providers or suppliers might experience financial distress, delays or defaults on payment, file for bankruptcy protection, suffer diminished business, or business disruptions in their business. The efforts enacted to control COVID-19 placed heavy pressure on our operations, marketing and sales activities. We continue to assess the related risks and impact that any future COVID-19 pandemic might have on our business and financial performance.

Table of Contents

Our business requires significant financial resources, but we may not be able to obtain them in a timely manner and on favorable terms or at all.

We recorded net cash inflow from operating activities of $0.10 million and outflow from operating activities of $0.03 million in 2022 and 2023, respectively and incurred net gain of approximately $0.30 million and $0.54 million for 2022 and 2023, respectively. We have in the past financed our working capital needs primarily with our capital contributions, bank borrowings and loans from shareholders.

We may require additional cash resources due to the future growth, development and expansion of our business. Our future capital requirements may be substantial as we seek to expand our operations, diversify our product offering, and pursue acquisitions and equity investments. If our cash resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to issue additional equity or debt securities or obtain new or expanded credit facilities.

Our ability to obtain external financing in the future is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including our future financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and the liquidity of international capital and lending markets. Any indebtedness that we may incur in the future may also contain operating and financial covenants that could further restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in a timely manner or in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. A large amount of bank borrowings and other debt may result in a significant increase in interest expense while at the same time exposing us to increased interest rate risks. Equity financings could result in dilution to our shareholders, and the securities issued in future financings may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those of our ordinary shares. Any failure to raise needed funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could severely restrict our liquidity as well as have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may not be able to price our products at our desired margins as a result of any decrease in our bargaining power or changes in market conditions.

We set prices for our products and services based on various internal and external factors, such as the cost of production, the technological contents of our products, market conditions, personnel costs, licensing costs and competition we face. Our ability to set favorable prices at our desired margins and accurately estimate costs, among other factors, has a significant impact on our profitability. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our pricing or bargaining power or that our gross profit margin will not be driven down by market conditions or other factors. If we see higher pricing pressure due to intensified competition from other manufacturers, decreases in prices to our customers in the end market or any other reasons, or if we otherwise lose bargaining power due to weaker demand for our products and services, we may need to reduce the prices and lower the margins of our products. Moreover, we may not be able to accurately estimate our costs or pass on all or part of any increase in our costs of production, and in particular, the costs of products, components, licenses and personnel to our customers. As a result, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We may be exposed to credit risks and concentration of credit risks in relation to defaults from counterparties.

Although we require our customers to make full payment for our solutions before delivery of products, and we generally do not offer credit sales to customers, we cannot assure you that we will not offer credit sales to our customers in the future due to various internal or external factors, such as the decrease in our bargaining power and changes in industry conditions. If we start to offer credit sales, we may face credit risks associated with the individual characteristics of each customer as well as the industry or country in which the customer operates. Although we would monitor our exposure to credit risk and overdue receivables on an ongoing basis based on the likelihood of collectability, we cannot assure you that all of our counterparties are creditworthy and reputable and will not default on payments in the future. If we encounter significant delays or defaults in payment by our customers or are otherwise unable to recover our accounts receivables, our cash flow, liquidity and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

High customer concentration exposes us to all of the risks faced by our major customers and may subject us to significant fluctuations or declines in revenues.

Our customers consist almost exclusively of private enterprises. A limited number of our major customers, however, have contributed a significant portion of our revenue in the past. In 2022 and 2023, respectively, we generated approximately 25% and 28% of our total revenues from our largest customer and approximately 54% and 59% from our top five largest customers. Although we continually seek to diversify our customer base, we cannot assure you that the proportion of the

15

Table of Contents

revenue contribution from these customers to our total revenues will decrease in the near future. Dependence on a limited number of major customers exposes us to the risk of substantial losses if any of them reduces or ceases doing business with us. Specifically, any one of the following events, among others, may cause material fluctuations or declines in our revenues and have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects:

        an overall decline in the business of one or more of our significant customers;

        the decision by one or more of our significant customers to switch to our competitors;

        the reduction in the prices of our products agreed by one or more of our significant customers;

        the failure or inability of any of our significant customers to make timely payment for our products; or

        regulatory developments that may negatively affect the business of one or more of our significant customers.

If we fail to maintain relationships with these major customers, and if we are unable to find replacement customers on commercially desirable terms or in a timely manner or at all, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

We may be unable to make the substantial research and development investments that are required to remain competitive in our business.

Advances in technologies, such as blockchain, artificial intelligence and cloud computing, have led to increased demand for our core products and services with higher performance and power efficiency. We intend to broaden our product and service offerings and to design and develop products and solutions covering more application scenarios for our focus industries. We are committed to investing in new product development in order to stay competitive in our markets. Nevertheless, if we are unable to generate enough revenue or raise enough capital to make adequate research and development investments going forward, our product development and relevant research and development initiatives may be restricted or delayed, or we may not be able to keep pace with the latest market trends and satisfy our customers’ needs, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Furthermore, our substantial research and development expenditures may not yield the expected results that enable us to roll out new products, which in turn will harm our prospects and results of operations.

Our success depends on our key management personnel

Our success is largely attributable to the continued commitment and contribution of our executive directors and senior management. Their extensive knowledge and experience in the IoT industry, as well as their established relationships with our customers have played a major role in our attainments. Mr. Wong Chi Fung, an executive director of our operating entity in Hong Kong, has over 23 years of experience in the IoT industry. Other than our executive directors, our senior management of our operating entity, particularly Mr. Kwan Ping Yuen, who possess over 13 years of experience in IoT industry, also plays an important role in the daily operation of our Company.

There is no assurance that we will be able to retain these key personnel, and the loss of any of them without suitable and timely replacements, or the inability to attract and retain qualified personnel may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial positions and prospects.

We may encounter difficulties in recruiting and retaining key personnel.

Our future growth and success depend to a significant extent on the continuing service and contribution of our engineers and senior management personnel. Many of these key personnel are highly skilled and experienced and are difficult to recruit and retain, particularly as we seek to expand our business with respect to our IoT products and solutions. Competition for recruiting qualified personnel is intense, and recruiting personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to execute our business strategy may be difficult, time-consuming and expensive. As a result, the loss of any key personnel or failure to recruit, train or retain qualified personnel could have a significant negative impact on our operations.

Cybersecurity incidents, including data security breaches or computer viruses, could harm our business by disrupting our delivery of services, damaging our reputation or exposing us to liability.

We receive, process, store and transmit, often electronically, the data of our customers and others, much of which is confidential. Unauthorized access to our computer systems or stored data could result in the theft, including cyber-theft, or improper disclosure of confidential information, and the deletion or modification of records could cause interruptions in our operations. These cyber-security risks increase when we transmit information from one location to another, including over the internet or other electronic networks. Despite the security measures we have implemented, our facilities, systems and procedures, and those of our third-party service providers, may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism, software viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming or human errors or other similar events which may disrupt our delivery of services or expose the confidential information of our customers and others. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure or use of confidential information of our customers or others, whether by us or a third party, could subject us to civil and criminal penalties, have a negative impact on our reputation, or expose us to liability to our customers, third parties or government authorities. We are not aware of such breaches or any other material cybersecurity risks in our supply chain to date. However, any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we suffer failure or disruption in our information systems, our ability to effectively manage our business operations could be adversely affected.

We use primarily third party information systems to obtain, process, analyze and manage data crucial to our business such as our enterprise resource planning system, and are still developing our own internal systems. We use these systems to, among other things, monitor the daily operations of our business, maintain operating and financial data, manage our distribution network as well as manage our research and development activities, production operations and quality control systems. Any system damage or failure that interrupts data input, retrieval or transmission or increases service time could disrupt our normal operations. In particular, our operations could be disrupted if such damage or failure includes any security breach caused by hacking or cybersecurity incidents, involves efforts to gain unauthorized access to our information or systems, or causes intentional malfunctions, loss or corruption of data, software or hardware, the intentional or inadvertent transmission of computer viruses and similar events or third-party actions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively handle a failure of our information systems, or that we will be able to restore our operational capacity in a timely manner to avoid disruption to our business. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect our ability to effectively manage our business operations and negatively impact our reputation.

We currently do not have insurance coverage covering all risks related to our business and operations.

We do not maintain insurance policies covering all of our business risks, such as risks relating to properties, receivables, goods in transit and public liability. We cannot assure you that the insurance coverage we currently have would be sufficient to fully cover our potential losses. In the event there is any damage to any assets or incidents for which we do not have sufficient insurance coverage, if at all, we would have to pay for the difference ourselves with the result our cash flow and liquidity could be negatively affected.

If we fail to comply with labor, work safety or environmental regulations, we could be exposed to penalties, fines, suspensions or action in other forms.

Our operations are subject to the labor, work safety and environmental protection laws and regulations promulgated by the Hong Kong government and the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions which may be applicable to us. These laws and regulations require us to pay social insurance, maintain safe working conditions and adopt effective measures to control and properly dispose of solid waste and other environmental pollutants. We could be exposed to penalties, fines, suspensions or actions in other forms if we fail to comply with these laws and regulations. The laws and regulations in Hong Kong may be amended from time to time and changes in those laws and regulations may cause us to incur additional costs in order to comply with the more stringent rules. In the event that changes to existing laws and regulations require us to incur additional compliance costs or require costly changes to our production process, our costs could increase and we may suffer a decline in sales for certain products, as a result of which our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Our business operations and international expansion are subject to geopolitical risks.

Our business operations and international expansion are subject to geopolitical risks. Any significant deterioration in PRC’s international relations may have a negative impact on our ability to export our products outside of Hong Kong. Changes to trade policies, treaties and tariffs in or affecting the jurisdictions in which we operate and to which we sell our products, or the perception that these changes could occur, could adversely affect financial and economic conditions in those jurisdictions, as well as our international sales, results of operations and financial condition.

On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched an invasion of Ukraine that has had an immediate impact on the global economy resulting in higher energy prices and higher prices for certain raw materials and goods and services which in turn is contributing to higher inflation in countries across the globe with significant disruption to financial markets. We do not have any operations or business in Russia or Ukraine; however, we may be potentially indirectly adversely impacted by the conflict through its impact on financial institutions globally, which could adversely affect our operations. It is difficult to assess the likelihood of such threat and any potential impact at this time. Any one or more of these events may impede our operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, and the related regulations are evolving quickly. Further implementations and interpretations of or amendments to the HFCA Act or the related regulations, or a PCAOB’s determination of its lack of sufficient access to inspect our auditor, might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our operations in Hong Kong. A potential consequence is that our ordinary shares may be delisted by the exchange. The delisting of our ordinary shares, or the threat of our ordinary shares being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. Additionally, the inability of the PCAOB to conduct full inspections of our auditor deprives our investors of the benefits of such inspections.

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, was enacted on December 18, 2020. In accordance with the HFCA Act, trading in securities of any registrant on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States may be prohibited if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate the registrant’s auditor for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, and, as a result, an exchange may determine to delist the securities of such registrant. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, would amend the HFCA Act and require 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 before our securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted if our auditor is unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement. On December 29, 2022, a legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”), was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things, an identical provision to Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two.

On November 5, 2021, the SEC adopted the PCAOB rule to implement HFCA Act, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to determine whether it 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, SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. The rules apply to registrants the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate (the “Commission-Identified Issuers”). A Commission-Identified Issuer will be required to comply with the submission and disclosure requirements in the annual report for each year in which it was identified. If a registrant is identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer based on its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the registrant will be required to comply with the submission or disclosure requirements in its annual report filing covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued its determinations (the “Determination”) that they are unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong. The Determination includes lists of public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely.

On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination.

The enactment of the HFCA Act and related regulations and any additional actions, proceedings, or new rules resulting from these efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information could cause investors uncertainty for affected issuers and the market price of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected, and we could be delisted if our auditor is unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement.

The lack of access to PCAOB inspections prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the auditors. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China and Hong Kong makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firm’s audit procedures and quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections.

Our auditor, WWC, P.C, an independent registered public accounting firm that is headquartered in the United States, 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 inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis with the last inspection in 2021 and it is not included in the PCAOB Determinations. 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 our audit. 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 or any other reasons, the lack of inspection could cause the trading in our securities to be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and as a result Nasdaq may delist our securities. If our securities are unable to be listed on another securities exchange, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our securities when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our Ordinary Shares. Further, new laws and regulations or changes in laws and regulations in both the United States and Hong Kong could affect the listing and trading our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, which could materially impair the market for and market price of our securities.

Our businesses store, transfer, process, use, and retain certain business and personal information, and a security or privacy breach may damage or disrupt our businesses, result in the disclosure of confidential information, damage our reputation, increase our costs, cause losses and materially adversely affect our results of operations.

In connection with our business, we store, transfer, process, use, and retain certain business information about our customers, our vendors and our employees, contractors and temporary staff, including payroll information, health care information, personal and business financial data, identity card numbers and their foreign equivalents, bank account numbers, tax information and other sensitive personal and business information.

We devote significant resources to safeguard the personal and business information in our possession and maintain and regularly update our systems and processes. Nonetheless, attacks on information technology systems continue to grow globally in frequency, complexity and sophistication, and we may be targeted by unauthorized parties using malicious tactics, code and viruses. Certain of these malicious parties may be state-sponsored and supported by significant financial and technological resources. Although this is a global problem, it may affect our businesses more than other businesses because malevolent parties (including our personnel) may focus on the amount and type of personal and business information that our businesses store, transfer, process, use, and retain.

We have programs and processes in place to prevent, detect and respond to data or cyber security incidents. However, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, are increasingly more complex and sophisticated and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time, we may be unable or fail to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate or timely preventive or responsive measures. Our ability to address cyber security incidents may also depend on the timing and nature of assistance that may be provided

from relevant government or law enforcement agencies. Hardware, software, applications or services that we develop or procure from third parties, or are required by third parties such as foreign governments to install on our systems, may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could (or, in respect of third-party software, may be designed to) compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of data on our systems. Unauthorized parties may also attempt to gain access to our systems or facilities, or those of third parties with whom we do business, through fraud, trickery, or other methods of deceiving these third parties or our personnel, including phishing and other social engineering techniques whereby attackers use end-user behavior to distribute computer viruses and malware into our systems or otherwise compromise the confidentiality, integrity or availability of data on our systems. As these threats continue to evolve and increase, we continue to invest resources, and may be required to invest significant resources, to modify and enhance our information security and controls and to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities. In addition, while our operating environments are designed to safeguard and protect personal and business information, we may not have the ability to monitor the implementation or effectiveness of any safeguards by our customers, vendors or partners and, in any event, third parties may be able to circumvent those security measures. Information obtained by malevolent parties resulting from successful attacks against our customers, vendors, partners or other third parties may, in turn, be used to attack our information technology systems.

Any cyberattack, unauthorized intrusion, malicious software infiltration, network disruption, denial of service, corruption of data, theft of non-public or other sensitive information, or similar act by a malevolent party, or inadvertent acts or inactions by our vendors, partners or personnel, could result in the loss, disclosure or misuse of confidential personal or business information or the theft of customer or end-user data, and could have a materially adverse effect on our business or results of operations or that of our customers, resulting in liability, litigation, regulatory investigations and sanctions or a loss of confidence in our ability to serve customers, or cause current or potential customers to choose another service provider. As the global cyber-environment grows increasingly hostile, the security of our operating environment is ever more important to our customers and potential customers. As a result, the breach or perceived breach of our security systems could result in a loss of confidence by our customers or potential customers and cause them to choose another service provider, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

Although we believe that we maintain good information security and controls and we have not encountered data or cyber security incident to date, a data or cyber security incident could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.

We are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. We may not complete our ongoing analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our Company and, as a result, the value of our Ordinary Shares.

Prior to this offering, we were a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. Our management has not completed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting.

Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company in the United States subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which requires that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined under the JOBS Act, and if the value of our non-affiliated float of our Ordinary Shares exceeds certain amounts, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to 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 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we may identify other weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. 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 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Generally, 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 and harm our results of operations. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions.

RISKS RELATING TO THE INDUSTRY IN WHICH WE OPERATE

We operate in a highly competitive market.

The IoT industry in Hong Kong (and Asia more broadly) is highly competitive/fragmented and there are several market players in these industries. While we do not believe that any of our competitors currently has a significant advantage over our Group, there is no assurance that our competitors will not develop the expertise, experience and resources necessary to provide services that are better in quality and/or more competitive in pricing compared to our services. Failure to maintain or enhance our competitiveness within the industry or maintain our customer base may adversely affect our financial performance and profitability.

Failure to comply with, or changes in, laws and regulations applicable to our businesses could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences.

Our business is subject to a wide range of complex laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations described in the “Regulations” section. Failure to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our operations or customer solutions and services could cause us to incur substantial costs or could result in the suspension or revocation of licenses or registrations, the limitation, suspension or termination of services, the imposition of consent orders or civil and criminal penalties, including fines, and lawsuits, including class actions, that could damage our reputation and have a materially adverse effect on our results of operation or financial condition.

In addition, changes in laws or regulations, or changes in the interpretation of laws or regulations by a regulatory authority, may decrease our revenues and earnings and may require us to change the manner in which we conduct some aspects of our business. According to our Hong Kong Legal Adviser, we have obtained all requisite licenses, permits and approvals for our business operations in Hong Kong including business registration certificate. Please refer to “Regulations” in this prospectus for applicable licensing requirements and regulatory frameworks in Hong Kong.

If the government of Hong Kong imposes any new or further licensing requirements, we may incur extra costs and human resources in complying with such requirements, laws and/or regulations and our business may be materially affected and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional licenses, if required. We cannot assure that there will not be any changes in the regulatory environment in respect of the IoT industries in Hong Kong, which may be unfavorable to our Group.

Failure to comply with privacy, data protection and cyber security laws and regulations could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, results of operations or financial condition, or have other adverse consequences.

The collection, storage, hosting, transfer, processing, disclosure, use, security and retention and destruction of personal or business information is subject to Hong Kong and other foreign privacy, data protection and cyber security laws and ordinances. These laws and ordinances, which are not uniform, generally do one or more of the following: regulate the collection, storage, hosting, transfer (including in some cases, the transfer outside the country of collection), processing, disclosure, use, security and retention and destruction of personal information; require notice to individuals of privacy practices; give individuals certain access and correction rights with respect to their personal information; and regulate the use or disclosure of personal information for secondary purposes such as marketing. Under certain

21

Table of Contents

circumstances, some of these laws require us to provide notification to affected individuals, customers, data protection authorities and/or other regulators in the event of a data breach. In many cases, these laws apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of information among the Company and its subsidiaries.

We believe that providing insights from data, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, will become increasingly important to the value that our solutions and services deliver to our customers. However, the ability to provide data-driven insights may be constrained by current or future regulatory requirements or ethical considerations that could restrict or impose burdensome and costly requirements on our ability to leverage data in innovative ways.

Complying with privacy, data protection and cyber security laws and requirements may result in significant costs to our business and require us to amend certain of our business practices. Further, enforcement actions and investigations by regulatory authorities related to data security incidents and privacy violations continue to increase. The future enactment of more restrictive laws, rules or regulations and/or future enforcement actions or investigations could have a materially adverse impact on us through increased costs or restrictions on our businesses and noncompliance could result in significant regulatory penalties and legal liability and damage our reputation. In addition, data security events and concerns about privacy abuses by other companies are changing consumer and social expectations for enhanced privacy and data protection. As a result, even the perception of noncompliance, whether or not valid, may damage our reputation.

RISKS RELATING TO DOING BUSINESS IN HONG KONG

We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Operating Entity to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have. In the future, funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong, due to interventions in, or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on, our ability or our Hong Kong subsidiary by the PRC government to transfer cash. Any limitation on the ability of our Operating Entity to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business and might materially decrease the value of our Ordinary Shares or cause them to be worthless.

We are a holding company incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and we rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Operating Entity in Hong Kong and elsewhere for our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders and service any debt we may incur. If our Operating Entity incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us. See “Regulations — Regulations related to Hong Kong taxation.” The PRC laws and regulations do not currently have any material impact on transfers of cash from Mega Fortune to the Operating Entity or from the Operating Entity to Mega Fortune, our shareholders and U.S. investors. However, the Chinese government may, in the future, impose restrictions or limitations on our ability to transfer money out of Hong Kong, to distribute earnings and pay dividends to and from the other entities within our organization, or to reinvest in our business outside of Hong Kong. Such restrictions and limitations, if imposed in the future, may delay or hinder the expansion of our business to outside of Hong Kong and may affect our ability to receive funds from our Operating Entity. The promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in each case, that restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or way we conduct our business, could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand for our services, reduce revenues, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject us to additional liabilities. To the extent any new or more stringent measures are required to be implemented, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected and such measures could materially decrease the value of our Ordinary Shares, potentially rendering them worthless.

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in mainland China with little or no advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over mainland China-based companies listed overseas using the variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. In the future, we may be subject to PRC laws and regulations related to the current business operations of our operating subsidiaries and any changes in such laws and regulations and interpretations may impair its ability to operate profitably, which could result in a material negative impact on its operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale.

Although we have direct ownership of our Operating Entity and currently do not have or intend to have any subsidiary or any contractual arrangement to establish a VIE structure with any entity in mainland China, we are still subject to certain legal and operational risks associated with one of our Operating Entity being based in Hong Kong and having all of their operations to date in Hong Kong, and our executive offices being based in Hong Kong. Additionally, the legal and operational risks associated in mainland China may also apply to operations in Hong Kong, and we face the risks and uncertainties associated with the complex and evolving PRC laws and regulations and as to whether and how the recent PRC government statements and regulatory developments, such as those relating to data and cyberspace security and anti-monopoly concerns, would be applicable to our Operating Entity or Mega Fortune, and the Chinese government may exercise significant oversight over the conduct of business in Hong Kong. In the event that we or our Operating Entity were to become subject to PRC laws and regulations, we could incur material costs to ensure compliance, and we or our Operating Entity might be subject to fines, experience devaluation of securities or delisting, no longer be permitted to conduct offerings to foreign investors, and/or no longer be permitted to continue business operations as presently conducted. Our organizational structure involves risks to the investors, and Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or a material change in the value of the securities Mega Fortune is registering for sale, including the risk that such event could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Moreover, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations related to 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 may involve substantial uncertainty. The effectiveness and interpretation of newly enacted laws or regulations, including amendments to existing 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 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 uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and the fact that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice, along with the risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence our Hong Kong operating subsidiary’s operations at any time could result in a material change in our Hong Kong operating subsidiary’s operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering.

We may become subject to a variety of PRC laws and other obligations regarding overseas listing rules and data security, and any failure to comply with applicable laws and obligations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Mega Fortune is a holding company incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands with a subsidiary operating and based in Hong Kong. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no subsidiary, VIE structure or any direct operations in mainland China, nor do we intend to have any subsidiary or VIE structure or to acquire any equity interests in any domestic companies in mainland China, and we are not controlled by any companies or individuals of mainland China. Further, we are headquartered in Hong Kong, with our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and all members of the board of directors of Mega Fortune are based in Hong Kong and are not mainland China citizens. All of our revenues and profits are generated by our operating entities in Hong Kong. Moreover, pursuant to the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, or the Basic Law, PRC laws and regulations shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law (which is confined to laws relating to national defense, foreign affairs and other matters that are not within the scope of autonomy). Therefore, as confirmed by our PRC counsel, Guangdong Wesley Law Firm, as of the date of this prospectus, we would not be subject to filing requirements with the CSRC under Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises (the “New Overseas Listing Rules”).

We are aware that, recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in mainland China with little advance notice, including a cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over mainland China-based companies listed overseas using the variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. For example, on July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued a document to crack down on illegal activities in the securities market and promote the high-quality development of the capital market, which, among other things, requires the relevant governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law-enforcement and judicial cooperation, to enhance supervision over mainland China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial application of the PRC securities laws. On December 28, 2021, Cybersecurity Review Measures were published by Cyberspace Administration of China or the CAC, National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of State Security, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Commerce, People’s Bank of China, State Administration of Radio and Television, China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”), State Secrecy Administration and State Cryptography Administration and became effective on February 15, 2022, which provides that, Critical Information Infrastructure Operators (“CIIOs”) that purchase internet products and services and Online Platform Operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security shall be subject to the cybersecurity review by the Cybersecurity Review Office. On November 14, 2021, CAC published the Administration Measures for Cyber Data Security (Draft for Public Comments), or the “Cyber Data Security Measure (Draft)”, which requires cyberspace operators with personal information of more than 1 million users who want to list abroad to file a cybersecurity review with the Office of Cybersecurity Review. On July 7, 2022, CAC promulgated the Measures for the Security Assessment of Data Cross-border Transfer, effective on September 1, 2022, which requires the data processors to apply for data cross-border security assessment coordinated by the CAC under the following circumstances: (i) any data processor transfers important data to overseas; (ii) any critical information infrastructure operator or data processor who processes personal information of over 1 million people provides personal information to overseas; (iii) any data processor who provides personal information to overseas and has already provided personal information of more than 100,000 people or sensitive personal information of more than 10,000 people to overseas since January 1st of the previous year; and (iv) other circumstances under which the data cross-border transfer security assessment is required as prescribed by the CAC. We believe we are fully in compliance with the regulations or policies that have been issued by the CAC to date. As advised by our Chinese counsel, Guangdong Wesley Law Firm, that the Company and its subsidiaries are not subject to the regulations and rules issued by CAC. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises (the “New Overseas Listing Rules”) with five interpretive guidelines, which took effect on March 31, 2023.

The New Overseas Listing Rules require Chinese domestic enterprises to complete filings with relevant governmental authorities and report related information under certain circumstances, such as: a) an issuer making an application for initial public offering and listing in an overseas market; b) an issuer making an overseas securities offering after having been listed on an overseas market; c) a domestic company seeking an overseas direct or indirect listing of its assets through single or multiple acquisition(s), share swap, transfer of shares or other means. The new rules provide that the determination as to whether a Chinese domestic company is indirectly offering and listing securities on an overseas market shall be made on a substance over form basis, and if the issuer meets the following conditions, the offering and listing shall be determined as an indirect overseas offering and listing by a Chinese domestic company: (i) any of the revenue, profit, total assets or net assets of the Chinese domestic entity is more than 50% of the related financials in the issuer’s audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year; (ii) the senior managers in charge of business operation and management of the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or with regular domicile in China, the main locations of its business operations are in China or main business activities are conducted in China. We are headquartered in Hong Kong with all our executive officers and directors based in Hong Kong who are not Chinese citizens, all of our assets are located in Hong Kong and all of our revenues and profits are generated by our subsidiaries in Hong Kong. We are advised by our Chinese counsel, Guangdong Wesley Law Firm, that the Company is not subject to the New Overseas Listing Rules.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance, the National Administration of State Secretes Protection and the National Archives Administration released the Provisions on Strengthening the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Related to the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, which took effect on March 31, 2023. PRC domestic enterprises seeking to offer securities and list in overseas markets, either directly or indirectly, shall establish and improve the system of

24

Table of Contents

confidentiality and archives work, and shall complete approval and filing procedures with competent authorities, if such PRC domestic enterprises or their overseas listing entities provide or publicly disclose documents or materials involving state secrets and work secrets of state organs to relevant securities companies, securities service institutions, overseas regulatory agencies and other entities and individuals. As of the date of this prospectus, as confirmed by our PRC counsel, Guangdong Wesley Law Firm, these new laws and guidelines have not impacted the Company’s ability to conduct its business, offering securities to foreign investors, or list and trade on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. The Company is headquartered in Hong Kong and it owns 100% equity interest of all its subsidiaries in Hong Kong and does not have a VIE structure in China. However, any change in foreign investment regulations, and other policies in China or related enforcement actions by China government could result in a material change in our operations and the value of our Ordinary Shares and could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer our Ordinary Shares to investors or cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless.

As of the date of this prospectus, we are advised by Hong Kong counsel, Stevenson, Wong & Co., that the Company is not required to obtain permission or approval from Hong Kong authorities to register and offer the securities to foreign investors or list and trade on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. Should there be any change in applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations, and we or any of our subsidiaries are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, we will strive to comply with the then applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations. However, if we did become subject to PRC laws/authorities, we could incur material costs to ensure compliance, be subject to fines, experience devaluation of securities or delisting, no longer being able to conduct offerings to foreign investors, and no longer be permitted to continue our current business operations. To the extent cash or assets in the business is in the PRC/Hong Kong or a PRC/Hong Kong entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC/Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of us or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets. We currently have no operation or subsidiary in China, we or our subsidiaries are not required to obtain from Chinese authorities to operate our business and to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, providing Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of “one country, two systems”. Pursuant to the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, PRC laws and regulations shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law (which are confined to laws relating to national defense, foreign affairs and other matters that are not within the scope of autonomy). Also, we or our subsidiaries, are not covered by permissions requirements from CSRC, CAC or any other governmental agency. We have received all requisite permissions or approvals, i.e. certificates of incorporation and business registration certificates that have been obtained by our subsidiary in Hong Kong, for our business operations and no permission or approval has been denied. If we or any of our subsidiaries do not receive or maintain permissions or approvals, inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we or our subsidiaries are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, it could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

It may be difficult for U.S. regulators, such as the Department of Justice, the SEC, and other authorities, to conduct investigation or collect evidence in Hong Kong.

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigation that are common in the United States may be difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in Hong Kong. Generally, in PRC, there are significant legal and other obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigations initiated outside PRC. Although the authorities in PRC and Hong Kong may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with regulatory authorities in the Unities States — including the SEC and the Department of Justice — may not be efficient in the absence of a mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the PRC territory. While detailed interpretation of or implementation rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within Hong Kong may further increase the difficulties you face in protecting your interests.

Our results of operations are subject to fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Hong Kong dollar.

Exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Hong Kong dollar, as well as inflation in Hong Kong may negatively affect our earnings. Expenses associated with our Hong Kong operations, including facilities-related expenses, are incurred in Hong Kong dollars, and personnel-related expenses are incurred in Hong Kong dollars. Consequently, inflation in Hong Kong will have the effect of increasing the dollar cost of our operations in Hong Kong, unless it is offset on a timely basis by a devaluation of the Hong Kong dollar, as applicable, relative to the U.S. dollar. We cannot predict any future trends in the rate of inflation in Hong Kong or the rate of devaluation of the Hong Kong dollar, as applicable, against the U.S. dollar. In addition, we are exposed to the risk of fluctuation in the value of the Hong Kong dollar vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar. While the Hong Kong government has continued to pursue a fixed exchange rate policy, with the Hong Kong dollar pegged at approximately HK$7.80 to $1.00, we cannot assure you that such policy will be maintained. Any significant appreciation of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar would cause an increase in our Hong Kong dollar expenses, as applicable, as recorded in our U.S. dollar denominated financial reports, even though the expenses denominated in Hong Kong dollars, as applicable, will remain unchanged. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations in currency exchange rates in countries or areas other than Hong Kong where we operate and do business may also negatively affect our earnings.

Risks relating to the economic, political, legal and social conditions in Hong Kong.

Any adverse changes in the economic, political, legal and social conditions of Hong Kong may lead to an adverse impact on the demand for our services and may result in deteriorating financial performance of our Group.

Furthermore, we cannot assure you that there will not be any political movements or large scale political unrest in Hong Kong, which may in turn adversely impact the market or lead to disruption of the general economic, political and social conditions in Hong Kong. If such unrest or movement persists for a substantial period of time, it may lead to such disruption, and our overall business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

The enactment of Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Hong Kong National Security Law”) could impact our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong.

On June 30, 2020, the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress adopted the Hong Kong National Security Law. This law defines the duties and government bodies of the Hong Kong National Security Law for safeguarding national security and four categories of offences — secession, subversion, terrorist activities, and collusion with a foreign country or external elements to endanger national security — and their corresponding penalties. On July 14, 2020, the U.S. President signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, or HKAA, into law, authorizing the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. On August 7, 2020, the U.S. government imposed HKAA-authorized sanctions on eleven individuals, including the former HKSAR chief executive Carrie Lam. On October 14, 2020, the U.S. State Department submitted to relevant committees of Congress the report required under HKAA, identifying persons materially contributing to “the failure of the Government of China to meet its obligations under the Joint Declaration or the Basic Law.” The HKAA further authorizes secondary sanctions, including the imposition of blocking sanctions, against foreign financial institutions that knowingly conduct a significant transaction with foreign persons sanctioned under this authority. The imposition of sanctions may directly affect the foreign financial institutions as well as any third parties or customers dealing with any foreign financial institution that is targeted. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the Hong Kong National Security Law and HKAA on Hong Kong and companies located in Hong Kong. If our Hong Kong subsidiaries are determined to be in violation of the Hong Kong National Security Law or the HKAA by competent authorities, our subsidiary’s business operations, financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

There are some political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong.

Our business operations are principally in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business and financial conditions will be affected by the political and legal developments in Hong Kong. During the period covered by the financial information incorporated by reference into and included in this prospectus, we derive all of our revenue from operations in Hong Kong and, specifically, from QBS System. Any adverse economic, social and/or political conditions, material social unrest, strike, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters, may affect the market and may

26

Table of Contents

adversely affect the business operations of our operating subsidiaries. Hong Kong is a special administrative region (SAR) of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law, namely, Hong Kong’s constitutional document, which provides Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of “one country, two systems”. However, there is no assurance that there will not be any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong in the future. Since all of our operating subsidiaries’ operations are based in Hong Kong, any change of such political arrangements may pose an immediate threat to the stability of the economy in Hong Kong, thereby directly and adversely affecting our results of operations and financial positions.

Hong Kong became a special administrative region of the PRC when its sovereignty was returned to the PRC. We cannot assure you that the economic, political and legal developments in Hong Kong will not be adversely affected as a result of the exercise of sovereignty by the PRC over Hong Kong. If there is any material adverse change in the general economic, political and legal developments in Hong Kong, our operations and financial position may be adversely affected.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING AND OWNERSHIP OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES

Future sales of a substantial amount of our Ordinary Shares may cause our stock price to decline.

Upon completing this offering, we will have approximately [        ] million Ordinary Shares outstanding. Our principal stockholders, directors and executive officers will own approximately [        ] million of these shares. These stockholders will be subject to the limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (which are discussed under “Shares Eligible for Future Sale”), applicable restrictions on transfer contained in lock up agreements with the underwriters. We cannot predict when these stockholders may sell their shares or in what volumes. However, the market price of our Ordinary Shares could decline significantly if these stockholders sell a large number of shares into the public market after this offering or if the market believes that these sales may occur. We may also issue our Ordinary Shares from time to time as consideration for future acquisitions and investments. In the event any such acquisition or investment is significant, the number of Ordinary Shares that we may issue could in turn be significant. In addition, we may also grant registration rights covering those shares in connection with any such acquisitions and investments.

Limited trading volume of our Ordinary Shares may impact our share price.

Even if we achieve a wider dissemination of our Ordinary Shares by means of the Ordinary Shares offered pursuant to this prospectus, we are uncertain as to whether an active trading market in our Ordinary Shares will develop. As a result, relatively small trades may have a significant impact on the price of our Ordinary Shares.

Our stock price may volatile and may result in substantial losses for investors.

The market price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile. The stock market in general has been highly volatile in 2023 and 2024 and may continue to be volatile in the remainder of 2024 and beyond. The volatility in Ordinary Share price may be unrelated to our operating performance. In addition, the trading price of our Ordinary Shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to:

        our prospects as perceived by others;

        variations in our operating results and our achievement of key business targets;

        changes in securities analysts’ recommendations or earnings estimates;

        differences between our reported results and those expected by investors and securities analysts;

        announcements of new contracts or service offerings by us or our competitors;

        market reaction to any acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments announced by us or our competitors; and

        general economic or stock market conditions unrelated to our operating performance.

Fluctuations in our stock price as a result of any of the foregoing factors may result in substantial losses for investors.

Operating results may vary from quarter to quarter due to changes in timing and profitability.

Because our operating results are primarily generated from number of significant active IoT projects and installations, operating results in any given fiscal quarter can vary depending on the timing of progress achieved and changes in the estimated profitability of the projects and installations being reported. Progress on projects in certain areas may also be delayed by weather conditions. Such delays, if they occur, may result in inconsistent quarterly operating results due to more or less progress than anticipated being achieved on certain projects and installations, which may in turn lead to reduced prices for our stock.

Our largest shareholder, will be able to control and exert significance influence over our company following this offering, and their interests may be different from or conflict with those of the holders of our Ordinary Shares.

Mericorn Company Limited (“Mericorn”), a British Virgin Islands business company wholly owned by Messrs. Ip Tsz Ying, Tin Sze Wai, Tam Tak Seng and Wong Ka Ki, will control more than [    ]% of the voting power of our Company after the offering. As more than [    ]% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by Mericorn following this offering, we are a “controlled company” as defined under Rule 561(c)(1) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. See “Principal Shareholders.” In addition to the elections of our directors, Mericorn is and will continue to be able to exert a significant degree of influence or actual control over other management and affairs and control matters requiring an approval from a majority of shareholders, including the merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant transaction. Their interests might not always be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders.

We will be a “controlled company” as defined under the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules. As a result, we may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements and holders of our Ordinary Shares may not have the same protections generally available to stockholders of other companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States.

Because more than 50% of the voting power for the election of our directors will be controlled by four individuals [acting under a voting agreement] following the completion of the offering, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under Rule 5615(c)(1) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. As a “controlled company”, we qualify for exemptions from several of Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements, including requirements that:

        a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors;

        compensation of officers be determined or recommended to the board of directors by a majority of its independent directors or by a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors; and

        director nominees be selected or recommended to the board of directors by a majority of its independent directors or by a nominating committee that is composed entirely of independent directors.

Accordingly, to the extent that we may choose to rely on one or more of these exemptions, our shareholders would not be afforded the same protections generally as shareholders of other Nasdaq-listed companies as long as these individuals control more than 50% of the voting power of our Company and our board determines to rely upon one or more of such exemptions.

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

Prior to this public offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. We will apply to have our Ordinary Shares listed on NASDAQ. If an active trading market for our Ordinary Shares does not develop after this offering, the market price and liquidity of our Ordinary Shares will be materially adversely affected. The public offering price for our Ordinary Shares will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may bear little or no relationship to the market price for our Ordinary Shares after the public offering. You may not be able to sell any Ordinary Shares that you purchase in the offering at or above the public offering price. Accordingly, investors should be prepared to face a complete loss of their investment.

Table of Contents

Our Ordinary Shares may be thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

Assuming our Ordinary Shares begin trading on NASDAQ, our Ordinary Shares may be “thinly-traded”, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our Ordinary Shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and might be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on the share price. A broad or active public trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not develop or be sustained.

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

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

The market price for our Ordinary Shares may be volatile.

The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of the broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in Hong Kong or China that have listed their securities in the United States.

The market price for our Ordinary Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations due to factors such as:

        the perception of U.S. investors and regulators of U.S. listed Hong Kong companies;

        actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

        changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

        negative publicity, studies or reports;

        conditions in the Hong Kong retail, entertainment and logistics market;

        our capability to catch up with the new developments and innovations in the industry;

        changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other retail, entertainment and logistics companies;

        announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

        addition or departure of key personnel;

        fluctuations of exchange rates between and Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar; and

        general economic or political conditions in Hong Kong.

Table of Contents

In addition, the securities market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

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

If you purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering, you will pay more for your Ordinary Shares than the amount paid by existing shareholders for their Ordinary Shares on a per Ordinary Share basis. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $[        ] per Ordinary Share, representing the difference between (i) our as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share of $[        ] as of September 30, [        ] , after giving effect to this offering, and (ii) the assumed initial public offering price per share of $[        ] per Ordinary Share. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our Ordinary Shares will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

Volatility in our Ordinary Share price may subject us to securities litigation.

The market for our Ordinary Shares may have, when compared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility and we expect that our share price may continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

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

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business.

In order to raise sufficient funds to enhance operations, we may have to issue additional securities at prices which may result in substantial dilution to our shareholders.

If we raise additional funds through the sale of equity or convertible debt, our current shareholders’ percentage ownership will be reduced. In addition, these transactions may dilute the value of Ordinary Shares outstanding. We may have to issue securities that may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our Ordinary Shares. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to raise additional funds on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If future financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our future needs, which would have a material adverse effect on our business plans, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

We are not likely to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in our operations and expansion of our business. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate. Should we determine to pay dividends in the future, our ability to do so will depend upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries, which may from time to time, be subject to restrictions on its ability to make distributions to us, including restrictions on the conversion of Hong Kong dollars into U.S. dollars, and other regulatory restrictions.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests as a shareholder, as Cayman Islands law provides substantially less protection when compared to the laws of the United States and it may be difficult for a shareholder of ours to effect service of process or to enforce judgements obtained in the United States courts.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our current Memorandum and Articles of Association and by the Companies Act (as revised) and common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors and us, 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 of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law.

30

Table of Contents

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 of the United Kingdom and the Court of Appeal are generally of persuasive authority but are not binding on the courts of the Cayman Islands. 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 may have a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provide significantly less protection to investors. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action before the United States federal courts. The Cayman Islands courts are also unlikely to impose liabilities against us in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, based on certain civil liability provisions of United States securities laws.

Currently, our operations are conducted outside the United States, and all of our assets are located outside the United States. All of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon 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.

As a result of all of the above, our shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against us or our officers, directors or major shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States.

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

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

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

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

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

        we are exempt from provisions of Regulation 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 will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to file reports on Form 6-K as a foreign private issuer. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

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

The 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 follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. The Company currently intends to follow the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules without relying on the exemption provided for foreign private issuers under Marketplace Rule 5615(a)(3). However, we may choose to rely on such exemption to follow certain corporate governance practices of our home country practice in the future. The corporate governance practice in our home country, the Cayman Islands, does not require

31

Table of Contents

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 Listing Rules also requires U.S. domestic issuers to have a compensation committee of at least two members and each committee member must be an independent director. We, as a foreign private issuer, are not subject to such requirement. The Nasdaq Listing Rules may require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters, such as requiring that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans for certain ordinary share issuances. We intend to comply with the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules 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 Listing Rules with respect to certain corporate governance standards in the future which may afford less protection to investors.

Although as a foreign private issuer we are exempt from certain corporate governance standards applicable to US domestic issuers, if we cannot satisfy, or continue to satisfy, the initial listing requirements and other rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our securities may not be listed or may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and your ability to sell them.

We are seeking to have our securities approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market upon consummation of this offering. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time. Even if our securities are listed on Nasdaq Capital Market, we cannot assure you that our securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq Capital Market.

In addition, following this offering, in order to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we will be required to comply with certain rules the Nasdaq Capital Market, including those regarding minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, and various additional requirements. Even if we initially meet the listing requirements and other applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to continue to satisfy these requirements and applicable rules. If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market criteria for maintaining our listing, our securities could be subject to delisting.

If the Nasdaq Capital Market delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including:

        a limited availability for market quotations for our securities;

        reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

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

        limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

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

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

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

As an “emerging growth company” under applicable law, we will be subject to reduced disclosure requirements. Such reduced disclosures may make our Ordinary Shares less attractive to investors.

For as long as we remain an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act, we will elect to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies”, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Because of these reduced regulatory requirements, our shareholders would be left without information or rights available to shareholders of more mature companies. If some investors find our Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Ordinary Shares and our share price may be more volatile.

If we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, United States taxpayers who own our Ordinary Shares may have adverse United States federal income tax consequences.

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

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

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

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

If we were to be or become a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. taxpayer holds our Ordinary Shares, the U.S. taxpayer may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements.

Depending on the amount of cash we raise in this offering, together with any other assets held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, for our current taxable year or for any subsequent year, at least 50% of our assets may be assets which produce passive income. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. Although the law in this regard is unclear, we treat our consolidated affiliated entities as being owned by us for United States federal income tax purposes, not only because we exercise effective control over the operation of such entities but also because we are entitled to substantially all of their economic benefits, and, as a result, we consolidate their operating results in our consolidated financial statements. For purposes of the PFIC analysis, in general, a non-U.S. corporation is deemed to own its pro rata share of the gross income and assets of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the equity by value.

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

Our board of directors may refuse or delay the registration of the transfer of Ordinary Shares in certain circumstances.

Except in connection with the settlement of trades or transactions entered into through the facilities of a stock exchange or automated quotation system on which our Ordinary Shares are listed or traded from time to time, our board of directors may resolve to refuse or delay the registration of the transfer of our Ordinary Shares. Where our directors do so, they must specify the reason(s) for this refusal or delay in a resolution of the board of directors. Our directors may also refuse or delay the registration of any transfer of Ordinary Shares if the transferor has failed to pay an amount due in respect to those Ordinary Shares. If our directors refuse to register a transfer, they shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, send the transferor and the transferee a notice of the refusal or delay in the approved form.

Table of Contents

This, however, will not affect market transactions of the Ordinary Shares purchased by investors in the public offering. Where the Ordinary Shares are listed on a stock exchange, the Ordinary Shares may be transferred without the need for a written instrument of transfer, if the transfer is carried out in accordance with the rules of the stock exchange and other requirements applicable to the Ordinary Shares listed on the stock exchange.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company, particularly after we cease to qualify as an “emerging growth company.”

Upon consummation of this offering, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the NASDAQ Capital Market, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies. We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act and will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting and permission to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

Compliance with these rules and regulations increases our legal and financial compliance costs and makes some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. After we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” or until five years following the completion of our initial public offering, whichever is earlier, we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. For example, as a public company, we have been required to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. We will incur additional costs in obtaining director and officer liability insurance. In addition, we incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

We are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in our Company and, as a result, the value of our Ordinary Shares.

Prior to this offering, we were a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. Our management has not completed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, and our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting.

Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company in the United States subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which requires that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined under the JOBS Act, and if the value of our non-affiliated float of our Ordinary Shares exceeds certain amounts, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, after we

34

Table of Contents

become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to 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 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we may identify other weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. 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 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Generally, 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 and harm our results of operations. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions.

If a limited number of participants in this offering purchase a significant percentage of the offering, the effective public float may be smaller than anticipated and the price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile which could subject us to securities litigation and make it more difficult for you to sell your shares.

As a company conducting a relatively small public offering, we are subject to the risk that a small number of investors will purchase a high percentage of the offering. While the underwriters are required to sell shares in this offering to at least 300 unrestricted round lot shareholders (a round lot shareholder is a shareholder who purchases at least 100 shares) and at least 50% of the minimum required number of round lot holders must each hold unrestricted shares with a minimum market value of $2,500 in order to ensure that we meet the Nasdaq initial listing standards, we have not otherwise imposed any obligations on the underwriters as to the maximum number of shares they may place with individual investors. If, in the course of marketing the offering, the underwriters were to determine that demand for our shares was concentrated in a limited number of investors and such investors determined to hold their shares after the offering rather than trade them in the market, other shareholders could find the trading and price of our shares affected (positively or negatively) by the limited availability of our shares. If this were to happen, investors could find our shares to be more volatile than they might otherwise anticipate. Companies that experience such volatility in their stock price may be more likely to be the subject of securities litigation. In addition, if a large portion of our public float were to be held by a few investors, smaller investors may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations and views of future events. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections entitled “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.” Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors,” may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

You can identify some of these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “is/are likely to,” “potential,” “continue” or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to:

        our goals and strategies;

        our future business development, financial conditions and results of operations;

        the expected growth of the IoT market in Hong Kong and Asia;

        fluctuations in interest rates;

        our expectations as to increase of customers and projects;

        our expectations regarding our relationships with suppliers;

        competition in our industry;

        relevant government policies and regulations relating to our business and industry;

        impact of COVID-19 on our business and financial conditions;

        fluctuations in operating results; and

        other factors set forth under “Risk Factors”.

These forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that our expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may later be found to be incorrect. Our actual results could be materially different from our expectations. Important risks and factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations are generally set forth in “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business,” “Regulation” and other sections in this prospectus. You should thoroughly read this prospectus and the documents that we refer to with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

This prospectus contains certain data and information that we obtained from various government and private publications. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions. Our industry may not grow at the rate projected by market data, or at all. Failure of this market to grow at the projected rate may have a material and adverse effect on our business and the market price of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, the rapidly changing nature of IoT technologies and services and related service results in significant uncertainties for any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our market. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this prospectus. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this prospectus and the documents that we refer to in this prospectus and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Based upon an initial public offering price of $[            ] per Ordinary Share, we estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts, underwriter non-accountable expense allowance, and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, of $[            ] if the Underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option, and $[            ] if the Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full.

We plan to use the net proceeds of this issue as follows: (1) 30% for market expansion, business development & marketing; (2) 35% research and development; (3) 25% for the expansion of software engineer team; and (4) remainder for other general corporate purposes and working capital.

The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. Our management, however, will have significant flexibility and discretion to apply the net proceeds of this offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this prospectus. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to our Ordinary Shares and this Offering and — You must rely on the judgment of our management as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and such use may not produce income or increase the price of our Ordinary Shares.”

In using the proceeds of this offering, there is no restriction under Hong Kong laws and regulations for an offshore holding company to provide funding to its wholly foreign-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong. We may extend inter-company loans to our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong or make additional capital contributions to our wholly-foreign-owned subsidiaries to fund their capital expenditures or working capital. We plan to use approximately $[            ] million out of the proceeds to pay the costs and expenses associated with being a public company. This portion of the offering proceeds will be immediately available to us following the closing of the offering as it will not be remitted to Hong Kong.

Approximately $[            ] million of the proceeds will be immediately remitted to Hong Kong following the completion of this offering.

DIVIDEND POLICY

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.

Under the Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend on its shares out of either profit or share premium amount, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid 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 subsidiaries.

Cash dividends, if any, on our Ordinary Shares will be paid in U.S. dollars. In order for us to pay dividends to our shareholders, we will rely on distribution payments made by QBS System. If QBS System incurs debt in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

DILUTION

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

Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023, was $[            ], or $[            ], per Ordinary Share. Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets, less the amount of our total consolidated liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting the net tangible book value per Ordinary Share (as adjusted for the offering) from the initial public offering price per Ordinary Share and after deducting the underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Dilution to New Investors if the Offering Amount is Sold without Exercise of the Over-allotment Option

After giving effect to our sale of [            ] Ordinary Shares offered in this offering based on the assumed initial public offering price of $[            ] per Ordinary Share, after deduction of the underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023, would have been $[            ] million, or $[            ] per outstanding Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $[            ] per Ordinary Share to the existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $[            ] per Ordinary Share to investors purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering. The as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only.

Dilution to New Investors if the Offering Amount is Sold with Full Exercise of the Over-allotment Option

After giving effect to our sale of [            ] Ordinary Shares offered in this offering based on the assumed initial public offering price of $[            ] per Ordinary Share, after deduction of the underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023, would have been $[            ] million, or $[            ] per outstanding Ordinary Share.

EXCHANGE RATE INFORMATION

Our business is primarily conducted in Hong Kong and all of our revenues are received and denominated in Hong Kong dollars. Capital accounts of our condensed financial statements are translated into U. S. dollars from Hong Kong dollars at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the period. Hong Kong dollars are freely convertible into foreign currency. No representation is made that the Hong Kong dollars amounts could have been, or could be, converted into United States dollars at the rates used in translation.

The Company’s financial information is presented in U.S. dollars. Any transactions which are denominated in currencies other than Hong Kong dollars are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the exchange rate quoted by the Federal Reserve Board prevailing at the dates of the transactions, and exchange gains and losses are included in the statements of operations as foreign currency transaction gain or loss. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”. The financial information is first prepared in Hong Kong dollars and then is translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates for revenue and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. The effects of foreign currency translation adjustments are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholder’s equity. Cash flows from the Company’s operations are calculated based upon the local currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheets.

The exchange rates in effect as of September 30, 2022 and 2023 were HK$1 for $0.1274 and $0.1277, respectively. The average exchange rates for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2023 were HK$1 for $0.1278 and $0.1277, respectively.

As of July 26, 2024, the exchange rate was HK$1 to $0.1281.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability to take advantage of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as:

        political and economic stability;

        an effective judicial system;

        a favorable tax system;

        the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and

        the availability of professional and support services.

However, certain disadvantages may accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include, but are not limited to, the following:

        The Cayman Islands may have a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors; and

        Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

Our memorandum and articles of association do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated. Currently, all of our operations are conducted outside the United States, and substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. [Most of our officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States.] As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon 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.

Travers Thorp Alberga, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would: (i) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States, or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States.

Travers Thorp Alberga has informed us that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), a judgment in personam obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of 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 (a) is given by a competent foreign court with jurisdiction to give the judgment, (b) imposes a specific positive obligation on the judgment debtor (such as an obligation to pay a liquidated sum or perform a specified obligation), (c) is final and conclusive, (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; (e) has not been obtained by fraud; and (f) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities law if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. Because such a determination has not yet been made by a court of the Cayman Islands, it is uncertain whether such civil liability judgments from U.S. courts would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

Stevenson, Wong & Co., our counsel as to Hong Kong law, has advised us that judgments of United States courts will not be directly enforced in Hong Kong. There are currently no treaties or other arrangements providing for reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments between Hong Kong and the United States. However, the common law permits an action to be brought upon a foreign judgment. That is to say, a foreign judgment itself may form the basis of a cause

of action since the judgment may be regarded as creating a debt between the parties to it. In a common law action for enforcement of a foreign judgment in Hong Kong, the enforcement is subject to various conditions, including but not limited to, that the foreign judgment is a final judgment conclusive upon the merits of the claim, the judgment is for a liquidated amount in a civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges, the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice, and the enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Hong Kong. Such a judgment must be for a fixed sum and must also come from a “competent” court as determined by the private international law rules applied by the Hong Kong courts. The defenses that are available to a defendant in a common law action brought on the basis of a foreign judgment include lack of jurisdiction, breach of natural justice, fraud, and contrariness to public policy. However, a separate legal action for collection of a debt must be commenced in Hong Kong in order to recover such debt from the judgment debtor.

CORPORATE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE

Mega Fortune Company Limited (“Mega Fortune” or the “Company”) is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability on January 3, 2024 as a holding company. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, operates as Ponte Fides Company Limited (“Ponte Fides”) in the BVI and QBS System Limited (“QBS System”) in Hong Kong.

The Company is the parent company of Ponte Fides, a BVI business company, which in turn wholly owns QBS System, a Hong Kong company incorporated on April 14, 2011.

Prior to the Reorganization below, QBS System was owned entirely by Flywheel Advanced Technology, Inc. (FWFW:OTC US) (“FWFW”), an OTC listed company owned one hundred (100) ordinary shares of QBS System; QBS System Pty Ltd was owned entirely by QBS System. QBS System owned 1,000 ordinary shares of QBS System Pty Ltd. The 100 shares of QBS System and 1,000 shares of QBS System Pty Ltd constitute all the issued and outstanding shares of each of QBS System and QBS System Pty Ltd, respectively.

Reorganization:

On January 3, 2024, Mega Fortune was incorporated in the Cayman Islands, and one ordinary share was issued to International Corporation Services Ltd as a nominee shareholder. On January 30, 2024, International Corporation Services Ltd. transferred its share to FWFW and caused an additional 99,999 ordinary shares to be issued to FWFW, totaling 100,000 ordinary shares to FWFW. FWFW is an OTC listed company.

On February 6, 2024, Mega Fortune incorporated Ponte Fides in the British Virgin Islands, and 1,000 ordinary shares were issued to Mega Fortune.

On April 29, 2024, all issued and outstanding shares of QBS System were transferred by its sole shareholder FWFW to Ponte Fides in exchange for HK$100 as Ponte Fides is also an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of FWFW. On July 8, 2024 QBS System Pty Ltd was sold to Wong Ka Ki, a related party of the Company, nature of the relationship is detailed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On July 5, 2024, 100,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Mega Fortune were transferred by its sole shareholder FWFW to Mericorn Company Limited (“Mericorn”) pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares was HK$56,360,000. Mericorn transferred to FWFW 9.38% of the total issued and outstanding equity of Elison Virtus Company Limited (“Elison”) in satisfaction of the purchase price of the Shares.

Elison holds all of the issued and outstanding equity of Flywheel Financial Strategy (Hong Kong) Company Limited, a company principally engaged in wealth management services. Each of Ip Tsz Ying, Tin Sze Wai, Tam Tak Seng and Wong Ka Ki owns 25% equity interest of Mericorn.

Since the Company and its subsidiaries are effectively controlled by the same controlling shareholders before and after the Reorganization, they are considered under common control. The above-mentioned transactions were accounted for as a recapitalization. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Upon the Reorganization, the Company has subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the BVI. Details of the subsidiaries of the Company are set out below:

As of the date of this prospectus

Immediately upon the completion of this offering

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

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

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

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

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

46

Table of Contents

        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

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

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting and financial disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including but not limited to (1) presenting 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 this prospectus, (2) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), (3) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and (4) exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We intend to take advantage of these exemptions. As a result, investors may find investing in our Ordinary Shares less attractive.

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 of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of such extended transition period.

We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (1) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue exceeds $1.235 billion, (2) 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 is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months, or (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

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

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

Overview

We, through our Operating Entity, are an Internet of Things (“IoT”) solutions and services provider that principally engages in providing a comprehensive range of IoT solutions and services comprising development and implementation, support and maintenance and trading of hardware and IoT-related products in Hong Kong. Our business is primarily carried out through our wholly owned Operating Entity: QBS System Limited. Our diversified business portfolio allows us to create synergies between our business lines and generate new business opportunities for each business segment so as to strengthen our market position and accelerate our expansion by expanding our scale and gaining additional market share.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is prepared based on the financial data which is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, included in this prospectus.

Our revenues were US$3.2 million and US$3.5 million for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We, recorded net income of US$0.5 million and US$0.3 million for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We plan to keep our business growing by broadening our customer base, expanding the scale of business cooperation with different suppliers, optimizing our technology capabilities and expanding the scope of our IoT solution offerings.

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Our business and operating results are affected by the general factors that impact our total addressable market, including, among others, overall economic growth in Hong Kong and globally, the continued relationship with recurring customers, costs of supplies, regulatory, tax and geopolitical environments, and the competitive landscape for our services. Changes in any of these general factors could affect the demand for our principal businesses and our results of operations. Moreover, the following company-specific factors can directly impact our results of operations materially:

Our ability to compete successfully and broaden our customer base

Although we have built long-term relationships with our key customers, we cannot guarantee that some of our competitors will not have more financial and human resources, more competitive pricing strategies, or closer relationships with suppliers than we have. If our competitors offer less expensive alternatives, engage in aggressive pricing to increase their market share, or are capable of supplying products with superior performance, functions, or efficiency, we could lose customers to our competitors. This could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our ability to control the costs of revenues

The costs of revenues we incur are largely dependent on market forces, such as fluctuations in general labor costs, market supply and demand, and logistics and transport costs. As our business grows in scale, we expect to have higher bargaining power and, hence, more favorable terms, including pricing and payment terms, for the cost of revenues incurred. However, since the costs of revenues are largely dependent on market forces and out of our full control, if these costs increase and we cannot pass on the costs to our customers, our results of operations will be materially impacted.

Table of Contents

Our ability to retained skilled personnel

Our future growth and success depend significantly on the continued service and contributions of our engineers and senior management personnel. Many of these key personnel are highly skilled and experienced and are difficult to recruit and retain, particularly as we seek to expand our business with respect to our IoT products and solutions. Competition for recruiting qualified personnel is intense, and finding personnel with the combination of skills and attributes required to execute our business strategy may be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Consequently, the loss of any key personnel or failure to recruit, train, or retain qualified personnel could significantly negatively impact our operations.

Our ability to adopt to the rapid technology change of the market

The industry is rapidly changing technologically, with highly evolving industry standards and frequent introductions and enhancements of new products and services. Customers also expect fast technological advancements. Our future success will depend on our ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies, align our services with evolving industry standards, and continually improve the know-how of our staff in response to the evolving demands of the marketplace. Failure to adapt to such changes would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Income Tax

Cayman Islands

Under the current and applicable laws of Cayman Islands, we are not subject to tax on income or capital gains under these jurisdictions.

Hong Kong

Our subsidiary operated in Hong Kong is subjected to Hong Kong Profits Tax. In accordance with the two-tiered profits tax rates regime, Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at the tax rate of 8.25% on assessable profits of the first 2 million Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) (equivalent to $255,395) and 16.5% on any assessable profits in excess of HK$2 million (equivalent to $255,395).

Australia

Our subsidiary operated in Australia is subjected to Australian Company Tax which is calculated at the tax rate of 25% as a base rate entity.

For the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, income tax accounted for 2.5% and 0.7% of our total revenues, respectively. Under relevant Hong Kong tax laws, tax case is normally subject to investigation by the tax authority for up to 6 years of assessment prior to the current year of assessment, unless in a case of fraud or willful evasion, then the investigation can be extended to cover 10 years of assessment. Under relevant Australia tax laws, a time limit has been put in which Australian Taxation Office can amend an assessment. For most taxpayers with simple affairs, the amendment period for an income tax assessment is 2 years from the date that a taxpayer issued with an assessment, while those with more complex affairs would be extended to 4 years from the date that a taxpayer issued with an assessment. However, in a case where the Australian Taxation Office forms an opinion of fraud or evasion, there is no time limit for amending an assessment. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, we had no open tax investigations from the tax authority and we do not consider that there was any uncertain tax position as of those dates.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth a summary of our consolidated results of operations for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 as indicated. This information should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Year Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Year Ended September 30, 2022

Revenues

Total revenues decreased by 7% from $3.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2022 to $3.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2023. This decrease in total revenues was primarily driven by a significant drop in trading sales and partially offset by an increase in IoT Integration Solutions services and IoT Support and Maintenance services.

IoT Integration Solutions services — Revenue from IoT Integration Solutions services increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 18.7%, from approximately $1.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2022, to approximately $1.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2023. This growth can be attributed to our ability to undertake more sizable and complex projects, resulting in higher service income. While the number of projects undertaken had decreased from 64 for the year ended September 30, 2022 to 57 for the year ended September 30, 2023, there was a significant increase in cumulative revenue generated. The weighted average fee rate of project for IoT Integration Solutions services increased to $32,630 for the year ended September 30, 2023 from $24,482 for the year ended September 30, 2022. This demonstrated our reputation as a solution provider for success in executing larger projects and contributes to the overall growth in IoT Integration Solution income.

BPO services — Revenue from BPO services slightly increased by $54,805, or 7.6%, from approximately $0.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2022, to approximately $0.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2023. This growth in revenue can be attributed to the successful acquisition of a new client for a new BPO project. While we secured new project for expanding the client base, we also managed to maintain services for existing customers, which contributed to the steady overall BPO services income.

IoT Support and Maintenance services — Revenue from IoT Support and Maintenance services increased by approximately $0.1 million, or 29.9%, from approximately $0.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2022, to approximately $0.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2023, which was in line with the increase in our IoT Integration Solutions services. During the year ended September 30, 2023, benefited from the increase in IoT Integration Solutions services, we had provided more support and maintenance services to meet evolving customer needs. The average price of the projects undertaken for the year ended September 30, 2023 was $17,708, compared to $13,122 for the year ended September 30, 2022.

Trading sales — Trading sales dropped significantly by approximately $0.7 million, or 81.9%, from approximately $0.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2022, to approximately $0.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2023. This was due to the decrease in demand from customers with the obsolesce of RFID labels, which was our main products sold to customers. To adapt to the changing technology market, we have been turning our focus to rendering more IoT Integration Solutions and developing AI technology and roboting services, instead of trading of IoT-related products. This shift in focus was driven by a decision to a reallocation of resources away from trading activities and we expect trading sales shall no longer play a significant role in contributing to overall revenue streams going forward.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues decreased by approximately $0.6 million or 22.2% from approximately $2.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2022 to $2.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2023. Such change is in line with our revenue with the decrease mainly attributable to the decrease in purchase of IoT-related products for trading by $0.7 million which was outweighed the slight increase in IoT-related services cost by $0.1 million.

Gross profit

Our gross profit increased by approximately $0.3 million or 33.4%, from approximately $1.0 million for the year ended September 30, 2022 to approximately $1.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2023. Our gross profit margin for the year ended September 30, 2023, was approximately 39.3%, compared to approximately 27.4% for the year ended September 30, 2022.

Gross profit margin of IoT Integration Solutions services and IoT Support and Maintenance services increased to 40.0% and 55.8%, respectively, for the year ended September 30, 2023, compared to 33.6% and 50.1%, respectively, for the year ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributed to the successful execution of more sizable and complex projects, under which we normally were able to charge our customers a higher margin. Furthermore, we have implemented better cost controls for services performed in order to increase profitability. This was achieved by optimizing our engineering staff’s experience and capabilities in handling complex and sizable projects and reducing reliance on subcontractors for IoT-related services.

Our gross profit margin of BPO services remained consistent as there was no significant change in our model of operations. The gross profit margin was maintained at 32.5% and 33.4% for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2023 respectively.

The overall increase in our gross profits was mainly due to our strategic shift from the sales of IoT-related products to the provision of IoT-related services. Trading sales historically yield a relatively low gross profit margin than that of IoT-related services. With expansion in our IoT-related services, we focused on sales opportunities with higher gross profit margins. As a result, our gross profit margin increased from 2.2% for the year ended September 30, 2022 to 9.7% for the year ended September 30, 2023. Combined with the fact that trading sales no longer played a significant role in contributing to overall revenue, the overall gross profit increased.

Operating expenses

Selling and marketing expenses decreased to $0.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2023, from $0.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2022, primarily driven by the measure of reducing our number of headcounts in sales department leading to a more streamlined and efficient workforce. Through departmental realignment and the implementation of more efficient sales processes, average number of headcounts in our sales department decreased from 7 for the year ended September 30, 2022 to 3 for the year ended September 30, 2023. In addition, we allocated more resources towards maintaining strong business relationships with existing customers and securing new business opportunities, thus resulted in a slight increase in travel and business development expenses. As the decrease of compensation and benefit outweigh the increase in travel and business development expenses, this resulted in overall decrease in selling and marketing expenses.

General and administrative expenses increased by $0.1 million to $0.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2023, compared to $0.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2022. One significant factor contributing to the increase was the notable rise of $0.1 million in professional fees related to the auditing of our consolidated financial statements, which drove an increase in total general and administrative expenses compared to the preceding year.

Other income

Other income increased by $16,146 from $49,026 for the year ended September 30, 2022 to $65,172 for the year ended September 30, 2023. The increase was mainly due to an increase in funding granted under the BUD Fund and subsidies received through the Graduate Trainee Program.

Income before income taxes

We had an income before income taxes of $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in income before income taxes directly corresponded to the increase in gross profit margin, by strategically reducing trading sales which typically yield lower margins and charging customers a higher margin for performing more complex and sizable projects, resulting in an increase in our income before taxes for the year ended September 30, 2023.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense increased from $24,367 for the year ended September 30, 2022 to $81,164 for the year ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily due to a combination of higher taxable income for the year ended September 30, 2023 and application of two-tiered tax regime in Hong Kong. A significant portion of taxable income for the year ended September 30, 2023, was subject to a tax rate of 16.5% in Hong Kong, compared to the majority of taxable income for the year ended September 30, 2022 being subject to the 8.25% rate in Hong Kong.

Net income

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by 81.5% from $0.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2022 to $0.5 million for the year ended September 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Prior to this offering, our principal sources of liquidity to finance our operating activities are from the financings provided by a bank in Hong Kong, our major shareholder and related parties. We recorded net cash outflow in operating activities of $32,724 for the year ended September 30, 2023 and net cash inflow from operating activities of $0.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2023, we had positive working capital of $1.4 million, $0.6 million in cash, out of which $0.6 million was held in Hong Kong Dollars, and the rest was held in U.S. Dollars and other currencies. As of September 30, 2022, we had positive working capital of $0.9 million, $0.9 million in cash, out of which $0.9 million was held in Hong Kong dollars, and the rest was held in U.S. Dollars and other currencies. Our cash primarily consist of balances maintained with banks in Hong Kong.

In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating and capital expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Bank loans, financing from related parties, and cash generated from operations have been utilized to finance our working capital requirements.

Considering all facts and information on hand, we expect our cash on hand is sufficient to finance our working capital requirements within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-months period from the date of our financial statements are issued.

If we are unable to have sufficient fund to finance our working capital requirements within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-months period from the date of these financial statements are issued, we may consider supplementing our available sources of funds through the following sources:

        addition equity financing from shareholders and third-party investors; and/or

        financial support from financial institutions, our shareholders and related parties.

Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion that we have sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and current liabilities as they become due within twelve months from the date of these consolidated financial statements are issued. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our plans. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise and could undermine our plans, such as changes in the demand for our services, general market conditions and the broader capital market climate in Hong Kong, etc.

Operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2023 was $32,724, as compared to the net income of $0.5 million. The difference was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of $0.5 million in accounts receivable due to intensified sales activities with our customers near the year end; (ii) a decrease in prepayments and other assets of $0.2 million, which was attributed to the utilization of previously made advance payments to our suppliers; (iii) an decrease of $0.3 million in accounts payable, as most of the invoices from the suppliers had been settled before the year end; and (iv) an increase of $0.1 million under income tax payables for the provision of Hong Kong Profits Tax.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2022 was $0.1 million, as compared to the net profit of $0.3 million. The difference was primarily attributable to (i) an increase of $0.4 million in accounts receivable due to intensified sales activities with our customers near the year end and with slower payment collected from customers; (ii) an increase of $0.3 million in accounts payable, by slowing payments to our suppliers in order to better optimize our cash flow; (iii) an increase of $0.2 million in contract liabilities due to demanding advance payments from our customers for upcoming projects; and (iv) a decrease of $0.1 million under income tax payables with payment of Hong Kong Profits Tax.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended September 30, 2023 was $1,737, as compared to that of $2,825 for the year ended September 30, 2022, which was entirely spent on the purchase of property and equipment.

Financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2023 was $0.3 million. This was primarily due to the repayment of bank overdrafts and SME Term Loan of $0.3 million during the year ended September 30, 2023.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended September 30, 2022 was $0.3 million. This was primarily due to (i) net drawdowns from banking facilities of $0.1 million during the year ended September 30, 2022; and (ii) financing of $0.2 million received from a related party.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Currency risk

Our operating activities are mainly transacted in HK$ and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) which are also the functional currencies of the respective subsidiaries. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. We consider the foreign exchange risk in relation to transactions denominated in HK$ with respect to $ is not significant as HK$ is pegged to $. At the same time, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to transactions denominated in AUD. If AUD depreciates against $, it could have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2023, we had net AUD-denominated assets of $46,599. We estimate that a 10% depreciation of AUD against $ based on the currency exchange rate on September 30, 2023 would result in a decrease of $4,660 against our shareholders’ equity whilst we estimate that a 10% appreciation of AUD against the $ based on the currency exchange rate on September 30, 2023 would result in an increase of $4,660 against our shareholders’ equity accordingly.

Credit risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to the credit risks consist of cash, accounts receivable amounts due from related parties and other assets. The maximum exposures of such assets to credit risk are their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates.

We deposit our cash with reputable banks located in Hong Kong. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, $619,570 and $941,527 were deposited with these banks, respectively. Balances maintained with banks in Hong Kong are insured under the Deposit Protection Scheme introduced by the Hong Kong Government for a maximum amount of HK$500,000 (equivalent to $63,850) for each depositor at one bank, whilst the balances maintained by us may at times exceed the insured limits. Cash balances maintained with banks in Hong Kong are not otherwise insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs. We have not experienced any losses in these bank accounts and we believe that we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Assets that potentially subject us to a significant credit risk primarily consist of accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties and other assets. We perform regular and ongoing credit assessments of the counterparts’ financial conditions and credit histories. We also assess historical collection trends, aging of receivables and general economic conditions. We consider that we have adequate controls over these receivables in order to minimize the related credit risk. As of September 30, 2023, and 2022, the balances of allowance for expected credit losses were $70,816 and $65,297, respectively.

For the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, most of our assets were located in Hong Kong. At the same time, we consider that we were exposed to the following concentrations of risk:

Interest rate risk

Fluctuations in market interest rates may negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations. We are exposed to floating interest rate risk on bank deposits and bank loans, particularly during periods when the interest rate is expected to significant changes. Nevertheless, given the amounts of bank deposits and bank loans in question, we consider our interest rate risk to be manageable and not likely to cause significant disruption to the business. As of September 30, 2023, we had an outstanding principal of $588,496. We estimate that a 1% increase in the Hong Kong Dollar Prime Rate against bank loans outstanding on September 30, 2023 would result in an increase in interest expense of $5,885 per annum whilst we estimate that a 1% decrease in the Hong Kong Dollar Prime Rate against bank loans outstanding on September 30, 2023 would result in a decrease in interest expense of $5,885 per annum. We have not used any instruments or derivatives to manage and hedge our interest rate risk exposure.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements

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

Specifically, we have not entered into any financial guarantees, commitments or other arrangements to guarantee payment obligations of any parties.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities; (ii) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each reporting period; and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. We continually evaluate these judgments, estimates and assumptions based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions and our expectations regarding the future based on available information, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.

When reading our consolidated financial statements, you should consider our selection of critical accounting policies, the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. Our critical accounting policies and practices include the following: (i) revenue recognition; (ii) income taxes; and (iii) accounts receivable, net. See Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements for the disclosure of these accounting policies. We believe the following accounting estimate involves the most significant judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Allowance for expected credit losses against financial assets

We assess the allowance by pooling relevant financial assets that have similar risk characteristics and evaluates receivable individually when specific assets no longer share those risk characteristics. We determine the expected credit losses based on aging data, historical collection experience, customer specific facts current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect form counterparties. Balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We continue to evaluate the reasonableness of the allowance policy and update it if necessary. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the balance of allowance for expected credit losses against financial assets were $70,816 and $65,297, respectively.

Location Based Services:

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a wireless communication technology that uses low-energy, short-range radio waves to transmit large amounts of data over short distances. Unlike other wireless communication technologies that use narrowband signals, UWB signals use a very wide frequency range, typically spanning several gigahertz, which enables them to transmit data at extremely high speeds.

UWB technology is used in a variety of applications, including high-speed data transfer, location tracking, and sensing. In the context of data transfer, UWB can be used to transfer large files, such as high-definition videos, between devices at speeds of up to several gigabits per second. In location tracking, UWB can be used to accurately determine the location of objects or people within a confined space, such as a building or a room, with a high degree of precision. In sensing applications, UWB can detect objects’ presence, measure distance, and even detect motion.

One of the advantages of UWB technology is its ability to operate in crowded radio frequency environments without interfering with other wireless communication technologies. This is because UWB signals are spread out over a wide frequency range and are designed to coexist with other wireless technologies.

During 2019, one of the largest theme parks in Hong Kong introduced the first UWB adoption into game environment in Hong Kong. QBS System was responsible for digital communication among devices for tracking the children playing a 3D projection game scene with centimeters-level of accuracy.

QBS System also utilizes location-based service driven products equipped with the readiness and the reliability of indoor and outdoor positioning system. In 2019, an NGO worked with QBS System for location-based service adaptations on their existing mobile application to enable extra technology to substantiate location-awareness assist visual impaired persons in a technology park in Hong Kong. Wireless fingerprinting and magnetic fields are captured for indoor positioning estimation to provide a coordinate on an app, speak-to-navigate approach is used for visual impaired app users

Scheme within the first 60 days of employment. Subject to the minimum and maximum relevant income levels, it is mandatory for both employers and their employees to contribute 5% of the employee’s relevant income to the MPF Scheme.

Any employer who contravenes the requirement of enrolling eligible employees in a registered MPF Scheme commits a criminal offence and is liable on conviction to a maximum fine of HK$50,000 and imprisonment for six months on the first conviction and maximum fine of HK$100,000 and imprisonment for one year on each subsequent conviction.

Any employer who contravenes the requirement of paying mandatory contributions to the MPF Scheme commits a criminal offence and is liable on conviction to a maximum fine of HK$50,000 and imprisonment for six months on the first conviction and maximum fine of HK$100,000 and imprisonment for one year on each subsequent conviction.

Employees’ Compensation Ordinance (Chapter 282 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“ECO”), which came into operation in Hong Kong on December 1, 1953, is an ordinance enacted for the purpose of providing for the payment of compensation to employees injured in the course of employment. The ECO establishes a no-fault and non-contributory employee compensation system for work injuries and lays down the rights and obligations of employers and employees in respect of injuries or death caused by accidents arising out of and in the course of employment, or by prescribed occupational diseases.

Under the ECO, if an employee sustains an injury or dies as a result of an accident arising out of and in the course of his employment, his employer is in general liable to pay compensation even if the employee might have committed acts of faults or negligence when the accident occurred. Similarly, an employee who suffers incapacity or dies arising from an occupational disease is entitled to receive the same compensation as that payable to employees injured in occupational accidents.

As stipulated by the ECO, no employer shall employ any employee in any employment unless there is in force in relation to such employee a policy of insurance issued by an insurer for an amount not less than the applicable amount specified in the Fourth Schedule of the ECO in respect of the liability of the employer. According to the Fourth Schedule of the ECO, the insured amount shall be not less than HK$100,000,000 per event if a company has no more than 200 employees. Any employer who contravenes this requirement commits a criminal offence and is liable on conviction to a fine and imprisonment. An employer who has taken out an insurance policy under the ECO is required to display a prescribed notice of insurance in a conspicuous place on each of its premises where any employee is employed.

Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter 310 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“BRO”), which came into operation in Hong Kong on February 6, 1959, requires every person carrying on any business to make an application to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue in the prescribed manner for the registration of that business within one month after the commencement of business. The Commissioner of Inland Revenue must register each business for which a business registration application is made and as soon as practicable after the prescribed business registration fee and levy are paid and issue a business registration certificate or branch registration certificate for the relevant business or the relevant branch, as the case may be. Any person who fails to apply for business registration shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to a fine of HK$5,000 and to imprisonment for 1 year.

Pursuant to Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“IRO”), which came into operation in Hong Kong on May 3, 1947, where an employer commences to employ in Hong Kong an individual who is or is likely to be chargeable to tax, or any married person, the employer shall give a written notice to the Commissioner of

Table of Contents

Inland Revenue not later than three months after the date of commencement of such employment. Where an employer ceases or is about to cease to employ in Hong Kong an individual who is or is likely to be chargeable to tax, or any married person, the employer shall give a written notice to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue not later than one month before such individual ceases to be employed in Hong Kong.

Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by the Company.

The IRO provides, among other things, that profits tax shall be charged on every person carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong in respect of his or her assessable profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong at the standard rate, which stood at 8.25% on assessable profits up to $2,000,000 and 16.5% on any part of assessable profits over $2,000,000 for corporate taxpayers as of the date of this prospectus. The Inland Revenue Ordinance also contains detailed provisions relating to, among other things, permissible deductions for outgoings and expenses, set-offs for losses and allowances for depreciations of capital assets.

No tax is imposed in Hong Kong in respect of capital gains from the sale of shares. However, trading gains from the sale of shares by persons carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong, where such gains are derived from or arise in Hong Kong, will be subject to Hong Kong profits tax. Certain categories of taxpayers (for example, financial institutions, insurance companies and securities dealers) are likely to be regarded as deriving trading gains rather than capital gains unless these taxpayers can prove that the investment securities are held for long-term investment purposes.

Employment Agreements, Director Agreements and Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our executive officers. Pursuant to these agreements, each of our executive officers is employed for an initial term of one year, renewable upon mutual agreement of the Company and the executive officer.

The executive officers are entitled to a fixed salary and to participate in our equity incentive plans, if any, and other company benefits, each as determined by the board of directors from time to time.

We may terminate the executive officer’s employment for cause, at any time, without notice or remuneration, for certain acts, such as conviction or plea of guilty to a felony or grossly negligent or dishonest acts to our detriment, or material breach of any term of any employment or other services, confidentiality, intellectual property or non-competition agreements with the Company. In such case, the executive officer will solely be entitled to accrued and unpaid salary through the effective date of such termination, and his/her right to all other benefits will terminate, except as required by any applicable law. The executive officer is not entitled to severance payments upon any termination.

The executive officer may voluntarily terminate his/her employment for any reason, and such termination shall take effect 30 days after the receipt by the Company of the notice of termination. Upon the effective date of such termination, the executive officer shall be entitled to (a) accrued and unpaid salary and vacation through such termination date; and (b) all other compensation and benefits that were vested through such termination date. In the event the executive officer is terminated without notice, it shall be deemed a termination by the Company for cause.

Each of our executive officers has agreed not to use for his or her personal purposes nor divulge, furnish, or make accessible to anyone or use in any way (other than in the ordinary course of the business of the Company) any confidential or secret information or knowledge of the Company, whether developed by him or herself or by others.

In addition, each executive officer has agreed to be bound by non-competition restrictions during the term of his or her employment and for six months following the last date of employment.

Each executive officer also has agreed not to (i) solicit or induce, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates to leave the employ of the Company or any of its affiliates; or (ii) solicit or induce, on his or her own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, any customer or prospective customer of the Company or any of their respective affiliates to reduce its business with the Company or any of its affiliates.

We will enter into director agreements with each of our independent directors, which agreements set forth the terms and provisions of their respective engagements.

In addition, we will enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our current Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2023, we paid $55,228 and $53,441 to our executive officer for his services and we did not pay our directors for their services solely as our directors during the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2023. We have not set aside or accrued any amount to provide pension, retirement or other similar benefits to our executive officers and directors. Our Hong Kong subsidiaries are required by law to make contributions equal to certain percentages of each employee’s salary for his or her pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, on-the-job injury insurance, and housing fund plans through a Hong Kong government-mandated defined contribution plan.

Board of Directors and Committees

Our board of directors currently consists of [        ] directors. The NASDAQ Capital Market corporate governance rules require that a majority of an issuer’s board of directors must consist of independent directors, however, as a foreign private issuer we are permitted to follow the corporate governance practice of the Cayman Islands, which does not require a majority of independent directors on our board.

Family Relationships

There is no family relationship among any of our directors or executive officers.

Duties of Directors

Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, directors have a fiduciary duty to act honestly in good faith with a view to the company’s best interests. Our directors also have a duty to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. A shareholder has the right to seek damages if a duty owed by the directors is breached.

Terms of Directors and Officers

Our directors may be elected by a resolution of our board of directors or an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. Our directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until they are removed from office by ordinary resolution of our shareholders.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and our affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, the Companies Act (as revised), and common law of the Cayman Islands.

As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized share capital is $50,000.00 divided into 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each. As of the date of this prospectus, 100,000 Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding.

Our Memorandum and Articles of Association

Ordinary Shares

Dividends.    Subject to any rights and restrictions of any other class or series of shares, our Board may, from time to time, declare dividends on the shares issued and authorize payment of the dividends out of our lawfully available funds. No dividends shall be declared by the board out of our Company except the following:

        profits; or

        “share premium account,” which represents the excess of the price paid to our Company on issue of its shares over the par or “nominal” value of those shares, which is similar to the U.S. concept of additional paid in capital.

However, no dividend shall bear interest against the Company.

Voting Rights.    Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares, on a show of hands every shareholder of record present in person or by proxy at a general meeting shall have one vote and on a poll every shareholder of record present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each share registered in his name in the register of Members. An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the Ordinary Shares cast at a meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes cast attaching to the outstanding Ordinary Shares at a meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as making changes to our memorandum and articles of association.

Winding Up; Liquidation.    Upon the winding up of our company, after the full amount that holders of any issued shares ranking senior to the Ordinary Shares as to distribution on liquidation or winding up are entitled to receive has been paid or set aside for payment, the holders of our Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive any remaining assets of the Company available for distribution as determined by the liquidator. The assets received by the holders of our Ordinary Shares in a liquidation may consist in whole or in part of property, which is not required to be of the same kind for all shareholders.

Calls on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares.    Our board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their Ordinary Shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 calendar days prior to the specified time and place of payment. Any Ordinary Shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Ordinary Shares.    We may issue shares that are, or at its option or at the option of the holders are, subject to redemption on such terms and in such manner as it may, before the issue of the shares, determine. Under the Companies Act (as revised), shares of a Cayman Islands exempted company may be redeemed or repurchased out of profits of the company, out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for that purpose or out of capital, provided the memorandum and articles authorize this and it has the ability to pay its debts as they come due in the ordinary course of business.

No Preemptive Rights.    Holders of Ordinary Shares will have no preemptive or preferential right to purchase any securities of our company.

89

Table of Contents

Variation of Rights Attaching to Shares.    All or any of the special rights attached to any class of shares may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act (as revised), be materially adversely varied with the written consent of the holders of all of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of an ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.

Anti-Takeover Provisions.    Some provisions of our current Memorandum and Articles of Association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preferred shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders.

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

        does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;

        is not required to open its register of members for inspection;

        does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

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

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

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

        may register as a limited duration company; and

        may register as a segregated portfolio company.

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

Anti-Money Laundering — Cayman Islands

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

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

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

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

90

Table of Contents

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

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

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

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

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

Differences in Corporate Law

The Companies Act (as revised) is modeled after that of English law but does not follow many recent English law statutory enactments. In addition, the Companies Act (as revised) differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act (as revised) applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements.

The Companies Act (as revised) permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (i) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (ii) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company. In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with

92

Table of Contents

the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with a declaration as to the solvency of the surviving or consolidated company, a declaration as to 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 members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation that is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose a company is a “parent” of a subsidiary if it holds issued shares that together represent at least 90.0% of the votes at a general meeting of the subsidiary.

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

Save in certain limited circumstances, a shareholder of a Cayman constituent company who dissents from the merger or consolidation is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) upon dissenting to the merger or consolidation; provided that the dissenting shareholder complies strictly with the procedures set out in the Companies Act (as revised). The exercise of dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Companies Act (as revised) also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement; provided that the arrangement is approved by (a) 75% in value of the shareholders or class of shareholders, or (b) a majority in number representing 75% in value of the creditors or class of 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:

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

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

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

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

The Companies Act (as revised) also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition, which may facilitate the “squeeze out” of dissentient minority shareholders upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90.0% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer that has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

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

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 authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands

93

Table of Contents

court can be expected to apply and follow the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto, which limits the circumstances in which a shareholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of the company or a personal action to claim loss which is reflective of loss suffered by the company) which permit a minority shareholder to commence a class action against, or derivative actions in the name of, a company to challenge the following:

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

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

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

A shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability.    Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our current memorandum and articles of association permit indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages arise from dishonesty or fraud of such directors or officers. This standard of conduct is similar to but little more lax than that permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation, which permits indemnification if the person to be indemnified acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Delaware corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person to be indemnified had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our current memorandum and articles of association.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties.    Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction and base such director’s decision on such information. In doing so, a Delaware director is entitled to rely in good faith on corporation’s records and on information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the board by the company’s officers, employees or board committees, or by other parties as to matters the director reasonably believes are within such other parties’ professional or expert competence and who have been selected for the company with reasonable care. Further, Delaware corporations may include in their certificates of incorporation an exculpation provision for the benefit of its directors. At its maximum strength, such an exculpatory provision eliminates the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of the duty of care (but not, among other things, breaches of the duty of loyalty). The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts independently and in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation (the “Business Judgement Rule”). However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. To rebut the presumption, a party attempting to so rebut has the burden of presenting evidence that directors were at least grossly negligent in not becoming adequately informed or were motivated by interests other than those of the company’s stockholders as a whole (or acted in bad faith by consciously disregarding a known duty). Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

94

Table of Contents

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he or she owes the following duties to the company — a duty to act bona fide in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him or her to do so), a duty of trusteeship of the company’s assets, a duty not to put himself or herself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party, and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

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

Shareholder Proposals.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the by-laws may afford shareholders the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

Cayman Islands law does not provide shareholders any right to put proposals before a meeting or requisition a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in the memorandum and articles of association. Our current Memorandum and Articles of Association allow our shareholders holding not less than one-third of all voting power of our share capital in issue to requisition a shareholder’s meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our current Memorandum and Articles of Association do not provide our shareholders other right to put proposal before a meeting. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.

Cumulative Voting.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands but our current Memorandum and Articles of Association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any fewer 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 at an election of directors, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our current Memorandum and Articles of Association, directors may be removed by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. A director will also cease to be a director if he (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (ii) dies or is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing; (iv) without special leave of absence from our board, is absent from meetings of our board for three consecutive meetings and our board resolves that his office be vacated; or (v) is removed from office pursuant to any other provision of our articles of association.

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

95

Table of Contents

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.

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

Dissolution; Winding up.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a super majority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of its members. 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. Under the Companies Act (as revised) and our current Memorandum and Articles of Association, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders.

Variation of Rights of Shares.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class. Under Cayman Islands law and our current Memorandum and Articles of Association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the sanction of an ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class or the written consent the holders of all of the issued shares of that class.

Amendment of Governing Documents.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides for a greater required number of shares for approval. As permitted by Cayman Islands law, our current Memorandum and Articles of Association may only be amended with a special resolution of our shareholders.

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

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there was no established public trading market for our Ordinary Shares. We cannot assure you that a liquid trading market for our Ordinary Shares will develop on NASDAQ or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of substantial amounts of Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares. Further, since a large number of our Ordinary Shares will not be available for sale shortly after this offering because of the contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below, sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market after these restrictions lapse, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Upon completion of this offering, we will have an aggregate of [        ] Ordinary Shares outstanding, assuming no exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option. The Ordinary Shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.

As of the date of this prospectus, [        ] Ordinary Shares held by existing shareholders are deemed “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 and may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from registration, including Rule 144. A total of [        ], or [        ]%, of our currently outstanding Ordinary Shares will be subject to “lock-up” agreements described below on the effective date of this offering. Upon expiration of the lock-up period of one hundred and eighty (180) days after the closing of this offering, outstanding shares will become eligible for sale, subject in most cases to the limitations of Rule 144. The remaining [        ] shares may be sold in accordance with Rule 144.

The following table summarizes the total shares potentially available for future sale.

Rule 144

All of our Ordinary Shares that will be issued and outstanding upon the completion of this offering, other than those Ordinary Shares sold in this offering, are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may be sold publicly in the United States only if they are subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement such as those provided by Rule 144 and Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act. In general, under Rule 144, beginning ninety days after the date of this prospectus, a person who is not our affiliate and has not been our affiliate at any time during the preceding three months will be entitled to sell any shares of our share capital that such person has held for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than one of our affiliates, without regard to volume limitations, except that sales of our share capital by any such person would be subject to the availability of current public information about us if the shares to be sold were held by such person for less than one year.

Beginning ninety days after the date of this prospectus, our affiliates who have beneficially owned shares of our share capital for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than another of our affiliates, would be entitled to sell within any three-month period those shares and any other shares they have acquired that are not restricted securities, provided that the aggregate number of shares sold does not exceed the greater of:

        1% of the number of shares of our authorized share capital then outstanding, which will equal approximately [        ] Ordinary Shares immediately after this offering assuming no exercise of the Underwriter’s over-allotment option; or

        the average weekly trading volume in our Ordinary Shares on the listing exchange during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates are generally subject to the availability of current public information about us, as well as certain “manner of sale” and notice requirements.

Rule 701

In general, under Rule 701 under the Securities Act as currently in effect, each of our employees, consultants or advisors who purchases our ordinary shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock plan or other written agreement executed prior to the completion of this offering is eligible to resell those ordinary shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period, contained in Rule 144. If any of our employees, executive officers or directors purchase shares under a written compensatory plan or contract, they may be entitled to rely on the resale provisions of Rule 701, but all holders of Rule 701 shares would be required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling any such shares. We do not currently have any compensatory stock plan for our employees, consultants or advisors.

Regulation S

Regulation S provides generally that sales made in offshore transactions are not subject to the registration or prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

Lock-up Agreements

We, on behalf of ourselves and any successor entity, and each of our officers, directors and certain shareholders have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, lend or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any swap or other transaction that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition of any of our Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our Ordinary Shares or derivatives of our Ordinary Shares (whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of securities, in cash, or otherwise), owned by these persons prior to this offering or acquired in this offering or Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of options or warrants held by these persons until after one hundred of eighty (180) days after the closing of this offering.

The representative has no present intention to waive or shorten the lock-up period; however, the terms of the lock-up agreement may be waived at its discretion. In determining whether to waive the terms of the lock-up agreements, the representative may base its decision on its assessment of the relative strengths of the securities markets and companies similar to the Company in general, and the trading pattern of, and demand for, the Company’s securities in general.

TAXATION

The following discussion of material Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, BVI and United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Ordinary Shares 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 discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in our Ordinary Shares, such as the tax consequences under state, local and other tax laws. To the extent that the discussion relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it represents the opinion of Travers Thorp Alberga, our Cayman Islands counsel. To the extent that the discussion relates to matters of Hong Kong tax law, it represents the opinion of Stevenson, Wong & Co, our Hong Kong counsel.

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 us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our company. 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, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Ordinary Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

Hong Kong Taxation

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

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

        Revenues gains from the sale of our Ordinary Shares by persons carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong where the gains are derived from or arise in Hong Kong from the trade, profession or business will be subject to Hong Kong profits tax, which is currently imposed at the rate of 16.5% on corporations and at a maximum rate of 15% on individuals and unincorporated businesses. A two-tiered profits tax rates regime applies: 8.25% for corporations and 7.5% for unincorporated businesses and individuals on the first HK$2 million of assessable profits, and 16.5% for corporations and 15% for unincorporated businesses and individuals on the remainder of assessable profits.

        Gains arising from the sale of Ordinary Shares, where the purchases and sales of the Ordinary Shares are effected outside of Hong Kong, such as in the Cayman Islands, are not subject to Hong Kong profits tax.

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

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

BVI Taxation

The BVI currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the BVI except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the BVI. The BVI is not party to any double tax treaties that are applicable to any payments made to or by our company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the BVI.

99

Table of Contents

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

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following is a discussion of United States federal income tax considerations relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of our Ordinary Shares by a U.S. Holder, as defined below, that acquires our Ordinary Shares in this offering and holds our Ordinary Shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This discussion is based upon existing United States federal income tax law, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. No ruling has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to any United States federal income tax consequences described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (such as, for example, certain financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment, partnerships and their partners, tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)), investors who are not U.S. Holders, investors that own (directly, indirectly, or constructively) 10% or more of our voting stock, investors that hold their Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale or other integrated transaction), or investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this discussion does not address any tax laws other than the United States federal income tax laws, including any state, local, alternative minimum tax or non-United States tax considerations, or the Medicare tax. Each potential investor is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state, local and non-United States income and other tax considerations of an investment in our Ordinary Shares.

General

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (i) an individual who is a citizen or treated as a tax resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created in, or organized under the laws of, the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has otherwise elected to be treated as a United States person under the Code.

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

The discussion set forth below is addressed only to U.S. Holders that purchase Ordinary Shares 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 Shares.

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on our Ordinary Shares

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

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders, dividends will be taxed at the lower capital gains rate applicable to qualified dividend income, provided that (1) the Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or we are eligible for the benefits of an approved qualifying

100

income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program, (2) we are not a passive foreign investment company (as discussed 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 NASDAQ. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to our Ordinary Shares, including the effects of any change in law after the date of this prospectus.

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

Taxation of Dispositions of Ordinary Shares

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 Shares. The gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, including an individual U.S. Holder, who has held the Ordinary Shares for more than one year, you may be eligible for reduced tax rates on any such capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”)

A non-U.S. corporation is considered a PFIC for any taxable year if either:

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

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

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

We must make a separate determination each year as to whether we are a PFIC. Depending on the amount of cash we raise in this offering, together with any other assets held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, for our 2022 taxable year or for any subsequent taxable year, at least 50% of our assets may be assets held for the production of passive income. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. Although the law in this regard is unclear, we treat our consolidated affiliated entities, as being owned by us for United States federal income tax purposes, not only because we exercise effective control over the operation of such entities but also because we are entitled to substantially all of their economic benefits, and, as a result, we consolidate their operating results in our consolidated financial statements. In particular, because the value of our assets for purposes of the asset test will generally be determined based on the market price of our Ordinary Shares and because cash is generally considered to be an asset held for the production of passive income, our PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price of our Ordinary Shares and the amount of cash we raise in this offering. Accordingly, fluctuations in the market price of the Ordinary Shares may cause us to become a PFIC. In addition, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to

101

Table of Contents

uncertainty in several respects and the composition of our income and assets will be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend the cash we raise in this offering. We are under no obligation to take steps to reduce the risk of our being classified as a PFIC, and as stated above, the determination of the value of our assets will depend upon material facts (including the market price of our Ordinary Shares from time to time and the amount of cash we raise in this offering) that may not be within our control. If we are a PFIC for any year during which you hold Ordinary Shares, the shares will continue to be treated as stock in a PFIC for all succeeding years during which you hold Ordinary Shares. However, if we cease to be a PFIC and you did not previously make a timely “mark-to-market” election as described below, you may avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime by making a “purging election” (as described below) with respect to the Ordinary Shares.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may make a “qualified electing fund” election with respect to such PFIC to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. A U.S. Holder who makes a valid qualified electing fund election with respect to a PFIC will generally include in gross income for a taxable year such holder’s pro rata share of the corporation’s earnings and profits for the taxable year. However, the qualified electing fund election is available only if such PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits as required

102

Table of Contents

under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not currently intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable you to make a qualified electing fund election. If you hold Ordinary Shares in any taxable year in which we are a PFIC, you will be required to file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 in each such year and provide certain annual information regarding such Ordinary Shares, including regarding distributions received on the Ordinary Shares and any gain realized on the disposition of the Ordinary Shares.

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

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

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and possible U.S. backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification on 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 Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Ordinary Shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a complete Internal Revenue Service Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their tax return for each year in which they hold Ordinary Shares. Failure to report the information could result in substantial penalties. You should consult your own tax advisor regarding your obligation to file Form 8938.

The underwriters are offering the Ordinary Shares subject to their acceptance of the Ordinary Shares from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain other conditions, such as absence of any material adverse change in our business or in the financial markets and receipt by the underwriters of certain officers’ certificates and legal opinions and comfort letters from us, our counsels and the independent auditors. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus if any such shares are taken. However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the shares covered by the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares described below.

The Representative has advised us that it proposes to offer the shares to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to certain dealers at that initial offering price less a selling concession not in excess of $[            ] per share. After this offering, the public offering price, concession and reallowance to dealers may be reduced by the Representative. No such reduction shall change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The securities are offered by the underwriters as stated herein, subject to receipt and acceptance by them and subject to their right to reject any order in whole or in part. The underwriters have informed us that they do not intend to confirm sales to any accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

Over-Allotment Option

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for up to 45 days after the closing of this offering, to purchase up to [            ] additional Ordinary Shares equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total number of Ordinary Shares sold by us in this offering at the initial public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts. The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with this offering. To the extent the option is exercised, the underwriters will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase about the same percentage of the additional Ordinary Shares as the number listed next to the underwriters’ name in the preceding table bears to the total number of Ordinary Shares listed next to the name of all underwriters in the preceding table.

Discounts and Expenses

The underwriting discount is equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the public offering price on each of the Ordinary Shares being offered.

We will also pay to the Representative by deduction from gross proceeds of the offering contemplated herein, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to one percent (1%) of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of Ordinary Shares.

We have agreed to pay all expenses relating to the offering, including, without limitation, (a) all filing fees and expenses relating to the registration of the Ordinary Shares with the SEC; (b) all fees and expenses relating to the listing of the Ordinary Shares on a national exchange, if applicable; (c) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration or qualification of the Ordinary Shares under the “blue sky” securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably designate (including, without limitation, all filing and registration fees, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Company’s “blue sky” counsel, which will be the Representative’s counsel) unless such filings are not required in connection with the Company’s proposed listing on a national exchange, if applicable; (d) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration, qualification or exemption of the Ordinary Shares under the securities laws of such foreign jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably designate; (e) the costs of all mailing and printing of the offering documents; (f) transfer and/or stamp taxes, if any, payable upon the transfer of the Ordinary Shares from the Company to the Representative; (g) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants; (h) all filing fees and communication expenses associated with the review of the offering by FINRA; (i) up to $30,000 of the Representative’s actual accountable road show and due diligence expenses for the offering; (j) the $29,500 cost associated with the Representative’s use of Ipreo’s book building, prospectus tracking and compliance software for the offering; (k) the costs associated with bound volumes of the offering materials as well as commemorative mementos and lucite tombstones in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000; (l) the fees for the Representative’s legal counsels in the United States, Hong Kong and other foreign jurisdictions, as applicable, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $175,000; and (m) all fees, expenses, and disbursements relating to background checks of the Company’s directors and officers in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000. If there is not a closing, the legal fees shall not exceed $100,000.

We have agreed to pay an expense advance towards the Representative’s out-of-pocket accountable expenses (the “Advance”) of $75,000 upon execution of the engagement letter in connection with this offering. Any portion of the Advance will be returned to us to the extent the Representative’s out-of-pocket accountable expenses are not actually incurred in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A).

Right of First Refusal

We have agreed, provided that this offering is completed, that until twelve (12) months after the closing of this offering, the Representative shall have an irrevocable right of first refusal to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner, and/or sole placement agent at its sole discretion, for each and every future public equity and debt offering, including all public equity linked financings (each, a “Subject Transaction”), during such 12-month period, of the Company, or any successor to or any current or future subsidiary of our Company, on terms and conditions customary to the Representative for such Subject Transaction. The Representative shall have the sole right to determine whether or not any other broker dealer shall have the right to participate in a Subject Transaction and the economic terms of such participation. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Company shall not retain, engage or solicit any additional

105

Table of Contents

investment banker, book-runner, financial advisor, underwriter and/or placement agent in a Subject Transaction during the 12-month period referred to above without the express written consent of the Representative, provided, however, that such right shall be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(g), including that the right of first refusal may be terminated by the Company for cause in case of the Representative’s material failure to provide the services contemplated in the underwriting agreement.

Lock-up Agreements

We have agreed, on behalf of ourselves and any successor entity, that without the prior written consent of the Representative for a period ending 180 days from the closing of this offering, we will not (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of share capital of the Company or any securities that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for share capital of the Company, (ii) file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any share capital of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for of share capital of the Company, (iii) complete any offering of our debt securities, other than entering into a line of credit with a traditional bank, or (iv) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequence of ownership of share capital of the Company, whether any such transaction described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is to be settled by delivery of share capital of the Company or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

Our directors, officers and shareholders of our outstanding securities (including warrants, options and other securities exercisable for or convertible into Ordinary Shares) as of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part have agreed, for a period of 180 days from the closing of this offering, subject to customary exceptions, not to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer, or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of share capital of the Company, without the prior written consent of the Representative.

The Representative has no present intention to waive or shorten the lock-up period; however, the terms of the lock-up agreement may be waived at its discretion. In determining whether to waive the terms of the lock-up agreements, the Representative may base its decision on its assessment of the relative strengths of the securities markets and companies similar to ours in general, and the trading pattern of, and demand for, our securities in general.

Tail Fee

The Representative shall be entitled to a cash fee equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of any equity, debt and/or equity derivative instruments to any investor actually introduced by the Representative to us during our engagement period with the Representative, in connection with any public or private financing or capital raise (each a “Tail Financing”), and such Tail Financing is consummated within the eighteen (18) month period following the expiration or termination of our engagement of the Representative, provided that such Tail Financing is by a party actually introduced to the Company in an offering in which the Company has direct knowledge of such party’s participation. Such right shall be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(5), including that it may be terminated by us for cause in case of the Representative’s material failure to provide the services contemplated in the underwriting agreement.

Indemnification

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

Nasdaq Listing

We plan to have our Ordinary Shares approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “[•]”. We make no representation that such application will be approved or that our Ordinary Shares will trade on such market either now or at any time in the future; notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not close this offering unless such Ordinary Shares will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the completion of this offering.

Electronic Distribution

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on websites or through other online services maintained by Representative or by its affiliates. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the Representative’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by it is not part of this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the Representative in its capacity as an underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.

Any underwriter who is a qualified market maker on the Nasdaq Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

No Prior Public Market

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our securities and the public offering price for our Ordinary Shares will be determined through negotiations between us and the Representative. Among the factors to be considered in these negotiations will be prevailing market conditions, our financial information, market valuations of other companies that we and the Representative believe to be comparable to us, estimates of our business potential, the present state of our development and other factors deemed relevant. The offering price for our Ordinary Shares in this offering has been arbitrarily determined by the Company in its negotiations with the underwriters and does not necessarily bear any direct relationship to the assets, operations, book or other established criteria of value of the Company. The offering price stated on the cover page of this prospectus should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the Ordinary Shares sold in the public offering. The values of such shares are subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. We offer no assurances that the offering price will correspond to the price at which the Ordinary Shares will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering or that an active trading market for our shares will develop and continue after this offering.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

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

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

Finally, the Representative may bid for, and purchase, our Ordinary Shares in market making transactions, including passive market making transactions as described above.

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

Other Relationships

The underwriters and certain of their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities.

        in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive; provided that no such offer of shares shall result in a requirement for the publication by us or any representative of a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

Any person making or intending to make any offer of shares within the EEA should only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for us or the underwriters to produce a prospectus for such offer. Neither we nor the underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of shares through any financial intermediary, other than offers made by the underwriters which constitute the final offering of shares contemplated in this prospectus.

For the purposes of this provision, and your representation below, the expression an “offer to the public” in relation to any shares in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase any shares, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State) and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

Table of Contents

Each person in a Relevant Member State who receives any communication in respect of, or who acquires any shares under, the offer of shares contemplated by this prospectus will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed to and with us and the underwriters that:

        it is a “qualified investor” within the meaning of the law in that Relevant Member State implementing Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive; and

        in the case of any shares acquired by it as a financial intermediary, as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, (i) the shares acquired by it in the offering have not been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than “qualified investors” (as defined in the Prospectus Directive), or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where shares have been acquired by it on behalf of persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, the offer of those shares to it is not treated under the Prospectus Directive as having been made to such persons.

In addition, in the United Kingdom, this document is being distributed only to, and is directed only at, and any offer subsequently made may only be directed at persons who are “qualified investors” (as defined in the Prospectus Directive) (i) who have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19 (5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended, or the Order, and/or (ii) who are high net worth companies (or persons to whom it may otherwise be lawfully communicated) falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together being referred to as “relevant persons”).

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To:

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Mega Fortune Company Limited

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mega Fortune Company Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

MEGA FORTUNE COMPANY LIMITED
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

1. Organization and Description of Business (cont.)

Immediately before the Reorganization, QBS System was wholly owned by Flywheel Advanced Technology, Inc. (“FWFW”), a company incorporated in the state of Nevada and is being traded on OTCQB under the symbol of “FWFW”. QBS System functions as the major operational entity for FWFW. Mega Fortune, incorporated on January 3, 2024 by registered agent, was established with the sole purpose of acting as holding company of the Company. On January 30, 2024, 100% ownership of Mega Fortune, was transferred from the registered agent to FWFW. Mega Fortune had not engaged in any business activities before the transfer. Subsequently on February 6, 2024, Ponte Fides was established with 100% of its shares held by Mega Fortune. On April 29, 2024, FWFW transferred 100% ownership interest in QBS System to the Ponte Fides, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mega Fortune which was also a wholly owned subsidiary of FWFW.

Immediately before and after the Reorganization, Mega Fortune, Ponte Fides, QBS System and QBS Pty remained under the complete ownership of FWFW and were under the control of the same group of shareholders. Consequently, the Reorganization is classified as a common control transaction under ASC 805-50. On July 8, 2024, QBS Pty was sold to Wong Ka Ki, a related party of the Company, nature of the relationship is detailed in Note 15.

The consolidation of the Company has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Results of operations for the periods presented comprise those of the previously separate entities combined from the beginning of the period to the end of the period, eliminating the effects of intra-entity transactions.

The movement in the Company’s authorized share capital and the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding and issued in the Company are also detailed in the Note 13.

2. Liquidity

In assessing the Company’s liquidity, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash on-hand and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. Bank loans, financing from related parties, and cash generated from operations have been utilized to finance the working capital requirements of the Company. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had working capital of $1,388,639, among which $619,570 in cash.

Considering all facts and information on hand, management expects the Company’s cash on hand is sufficient to finance its working capital requirements within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-months period from the date of these financial statements are issued.

If the Company is unable to have sufficient fund to finance its working capital requirements within the normal operating cycle of a twelve-months period from the date of these financial statements are issued, the Company may consider supplementing its available sources of funds through the following sources:

        addition equity financing from shareholders and third-party investors; and/or

        financial support from financial institutions, the Company’s shareholders and related parties.

Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion that the Company has sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and current liabilities as they become due within twelve months from the date of these consolidated financial statements are issued. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in implementing its plans. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise and could undermine the Company’s plans, such as changes in the demand for the Company’s services, general market conditions and the broader capital market climate in Hong Kong, etc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Management has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements and these notes in accordance to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). The Company maintains its general ledger and journals with the accrual method accounting.

Use of estimates and assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to the Company and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but not limited to, provision for expected credit losses against accounts receivable, amount due from related parties and other assets, determination of the useful lives of long-lived assets, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accounting of operating lease right-of-use assets, and operating lease liabilities. Actual results could differ from the estimates, and as such, differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include balances maintained with banks in Hong Kong that can be added or withdrawn without limitation.

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable represent income earned from the provision of IoT services and trading of hardware and IoT-related products of which the Company has not yet received payment. Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and adjusted to amounts management expects to collect from balances outstanding at period-end. In accordance with ASC 326 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (ASC 326), the Company estimates the allowance for expected credit losses based on expected future uncollectible accounts receivable using forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. Management provides an allowance for expected credit losses based on the Company’s historical losses, specific customer circumstances, and general economic conditions. Periodically, management reviews accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables when all attempts to collect have been exhausted and the prospects for recovery are remote. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, an allowance for expected credit losses of $66,729 and $59,902, was recorded, respectively.

Prepayments and other assets, net

Prepayments and other assets are comprised of other receivables and prepaid expenses, including trade deposits paid to suppliers, rental and utility deposits and subsidies receivable from local governments. Among prepayments and other assets, the Company reviews other assets on a regular basis and also makes allowance for expected credit losses if there is evidence indicating that other assets may be unrecoverable based on the Company’s historical losses, specific customer circumstances, and general economic conditions. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the balance of allowance for expected credit loss against other assets was $309 and $302, respectively.

Leases

On October 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended, which supersedes the lease accounting guidance under Topic 840, and generally requires lessees to recognize operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet and to provide enhanced disclosures surrounding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leasing arrangements.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

The Company is a lessee of non-cancellable operating leases for corporate office premises. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. A lease for which substantially all the benefits and risks incidental to ownership remain with the lessor is classified by the lessee as an operating lease. All leases of the Company are currently classified as operating leases. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

When determining the lease term, at lease commencement date, the Company considers options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise or not exercise that option. The interest rate used to determine the present value of future lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of the Hong Kong Prime Rate minus 0.25% p.a. based on the information available at the lease commencement date.

The lease standard (ACS 842) provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elects to apply short-term lease exception for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less at commencement. Accordingly, ROU assets and operating lease liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

The Company evaluates the impairment of its ROU assets consistently with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the assets from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any impairment loss against its ROU assets.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

Computer equipment

 

5 years

Furniture and fittings

 

5 years

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets disposed of or retired are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income under other income or expenses.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment and ROU assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (asset group), when the market prices are not readily available. The adjusted carrying amount of the asset is the new cost basis and is depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, no impairment of long-lived assets was recognized.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Accounts payable

Accounts payable are liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of the financial period which are unpaid. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. All accounts payable was recognized as current liabilities as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Bank loans

Bank loans comprise borrowings from banks. Bank loans are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Bank loans are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds net of transaction costs and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Bank loans are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities

Accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily represent obligations to pay staff costs and other operating service providers. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Revenue recognition

The Company follows the rules and guidance set out under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), when recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of ASC 606 requires an entity to recognize revenues to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. In according with ASC 606, revenues are recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligations by delivering the promised services to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer;

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company enters into service agreements with its customers that outline the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of each party. The agreements also identify the scope of services, service fees, and payment terms. Agreements are acknowledged and signed by both parties. All the contracts have commercial substance, and it is probable that the Company will collect considerations from its customers for service component.

The Company derives its revenue from four sources: (1) IoT Integration Solution Services, (2) Business Process Outsourcing (“BPO”) Services, (3) IoT Support and Maintenance Services and (4) Trading Sales.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Revenue from IoT Integration Solution Services

The Company engages in distinct contracts with its customers to deliver IoT Integration Solution Services. Billing occurs based on predefined milestones in the contracts, with completion confirmed upon the customer’s acceptance after successful user testing.

In the IoT Integration Solution contracts, the Company commits to providing various services for specific projects. Although the contracts outline separate promises, such as development, implementation, and consulting, these are in fact components of a bundled service leading to a combined outcome that the Company must deliver. These individual promises are highly interdependent, forming a single, integrated solution. Therefore, the Company accounts for each IoT Integration Solution contract as one single performance obligation and no allocation of transaction price is required. There is no warranty provision term provided in these contracts. The Company typically collect 20% to 50% of contract sum upfront before commencement of work, with the remaining contract sum being collected in multiple installments according to predefined milestones. IoT Integration Solution Services contracts are typically completed within 1 year.

The contracts explicitly outline transaction prices as fixed amounts with no variable considerations. The Company’s performance creates a customized asset for customers, that the customers have control as the asset is created. This is evidence by customers taking physical procession over customized hardware and software developed by the Company. Furthermore, the solutions are tailored and customized for specific customers with no alternative use. The Company recognizes revenue from IoT Integration Solution Services based on the Company’s effort or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation over time as work progresses because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer and the Company’s right to bill the customer as costs are incurred.

The timing of the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations is based upon the cost-to-cost method to measure progress, which is generally different from the timing of unconditional right of payment which is based upon certain conditions being completed as specified in the contract. The timing between the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations and the unconditional right of payment would contribute to contract assets and contract liabilities.

The Company uses the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs (an input method) since costs incurred represent a reasonable measure of progress towards the satisfaction of a performance in order to estimate the portion of revenue earned. This method faithfully depicts the transfer of value to the customer when the Company is satisfying a performance obligation that entails a number of interrelated tasks or activities for a combined output that requires the Company to coordinate the work of employees and subcontractors. Contract costs typically include direct labor, subcontractor and consultant costs, materials and other costs directly related to contract performance. Changes in estimated costs to complete these obligations result in adjustments to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis, which causes the effect of revised estimates to be recognized in the current period. Changes in estimates can routinely occur over the contract term for a variety of reasons including, unanticipated changes in scope, unanticipated costs, delays or favorable or unfavorable progress than original expectations. When the outcome of the contract cannot be reasonably measured, revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are expected to be recovered. In situations where the estimated costs to perform exceeds the consideration to be received, the Company accrues the entire estimated loss during the period the loss becomes known.

As of September 30, 2023, contract liabilities for IoT Integration Solution Services amounted to $3,065 are expected to be recognized as revenue within a twelve-month period from September 30, 2023 using an input measure method, while as of September 30, 2022, contract liabilities for IoT Integration Solution Services amounted to $8,108 are expected to be recognized as revenue within a twelve-month period from September 30, 2022 using an input measure method.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Business Process Outsourcing (“BPO”) Services

The Company engages in distinct contracts with its customers to provide IT-related manpower support for a fixed period of time. Each contract involves one performance obligation, where the Company commits to providing designated number of personnels who has relevant IT expertise and knowledge as required by customers. The Company typically collects monthly instalment from customer over contract period in BPO services.

Transaction prices are explicitly stated in the contracts as fixed amounts without variable considerations. Because those personnels work directly under customers’ instruction during contract period and customers take control over all work output by the personnels, customers receive and consume benefits provided by the Company simultaneously. Therefore, revenues from BPO Services are recognized over time.

The Company uses ratio of actual labor cost incurred over total budgeted labor cost (an input method) as a measure of progress towards satisfaction of performance obligation. Under this method, the Company could appropriately measure the fulfillment of its performance obligation.

As of September 30, 2023, there was no contract liability for BPO Services, while as of September 30, 2022, contract liabilities for BPO Services amounted to $95,544 are expected to be recognized as revenue within a twelve-month period from September 30, 2022 using an input measure method.

IoT Support and Maintenance Services

The Company enters into distinct contracts with its customers to provide ongoing maintenance and support services for the existing IoT Solutions. Each contract encompasses a single performance obligation, considering the highly interdependent and highly interrelated nature of the support and maintenance services provided during the contract period.

In these IoT Support and Maintenance contracts, the Company commits to delivering a variety of support and maintenance services. Although the contracts specify separate services, such as maintenance of different components of IoT Solutions and repair and replacement of various hardware, these services are actually elements of a bundled offering that culminates in a unified outcome the Company is obliged to provide. The individual services are highly interdependent, constituting a single, integrated solution. Consequently, each IoT Support and Maintenance contract is recognized as a single performance obligation. The Company typically collects monthly instalments from customers over contract period in IoT Support and Maintenance services.

Transaction prices for IoT Support and Maintenance Services are explicitly written in contracts as a fixed amount without variable consideration. Because customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the Company’s performance as it is delivered, revenues from IoT Support and Maintenance Services are recognized over time.

Revenues from IoT Support and Maintenance are recognized on the basis of the Company’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation. It is recognized using the input method, aligning with actual incurred costs against expected budgeted costs at contract inception.

As of September 30, 2023, contract liabilities for IoT Support and Maintenance Services amounted to $57,197 are expected to be recognized as revenue within a twelve-month period from September 30, 2023 using an input measure method, while as of September 30, 2022, contract liabilities for IoT Support and Maintenance Services amounted to $50,171 are expected to be recognized as revenue within a twelve-month period from September 30, 2022 using an input measure method.

Trading Sales

The Company enters into distinct contracts with its customers to sell hardware and IoT-related products. The Company typically enters into contracts with its customers where the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified. Sales prices to customers are fixed with no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive and there is no right of

return. The Company generally provides no credit terms to its customers who are contractually required to settle the considerations upon product delivery. The Company’s sole performance obligation is to deliver products according to contract specifications. The Company recognizes product revenue at a point in time when the control of products is transferred to customers.

Warranty

The Company generally provides limited warranties for work performed under its contracts. At the time a sale is recognized, the Company records estimated future warranty costs under ASC 460. Such estimated costs for warranties are estimated at completion and these warranties are not service warranties separately sold by the Company. Generally, the estimated claim rates of warranty are based on actual warranty experience or Company’s best estimate. There were no such reserves for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 because the Company’s historical warranty expenses were immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Contract Assets and Contract liabilities

Contract assets are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets when revenue recognized to date exceeds cumulative billings to customers. Provisions for estimated losses on contract assets are accounted for in the period such losses are identified. As of September 30, 2023, and 2022, no contract assets were recognized.

Contract liabilities represent the amounts of cash collected from customers, or billings to customers for work yet to be performed that exceed the revenue recognized to date in relation to uncompleted contracts. As of September 30, 2023, and 2022, contract liabilities amounted to $60,262 and $153,823, respectively. Additionally, these amounts are expected to be recognized as revenue within a twelve-month period from the reporting date of these financial statements, therefore being classified as current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Government grants

Government subsidies primarily relate to (i) one-off entitlement granted by the Hong Kong government pursuant to the Employment Support Scheme under the Anti-epidemic Fund; (ii) funding granted by the Hong Kong government in helping the Company to develop and promote its brand overseas under the BUD Fund; and (iii) subsidies received from Hong Kong Science and Technology Park through its Graduate Trainee Program. The Company recognizes government subsidies as sundry income upon meeting all attached conditions, or when it is reasonably assured that these conditions will be met and receipt of the subsidies is probable.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Government subsidies received and recognized as sundry income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income amounted to $76,017 and $62,086 for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. To qualify for these subsidies, the Company complied with specific requirements and conditions. As of September 30, 2023, there were no unfulfilled conditions related to government subsidies.

Cost of revenues

The cost of revenues primarily consists of costs associated with subcontracting, engineering, and material expenses related to the provision of IoT services. These costs are expensed as incurred. Additionally, the cost of revenues includes the cost of goods sold incurred from the sales of hardware and IoT-related products.

Employee benefit plan

Employees of the Company located in Hong Kong and Australia participate in compulsory retirement benefit schemes, as mandated by local laws. In Hong Kong, contributions to the scheme are made by both the Company and its employees at a rate of 5% of the employees’ relevant salary income, subject to a cap on monthly relevant income of 30,000 Hong Kong Dollars (HK$) (equivalent to $3,831). In Australia, contributions to the scheme are made at a rate of 10%, 10.5%, and 11% effective July 1, 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. The income caps per quarter are set at 58,920 Australian Dollars (AUD), AUD 60,220, and AUD 62,270 (equivalent to $39,276, $40,143, and $41,509), effective July 1, 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively. For the years ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the total amounts charged to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the Company’s contributions to these retirement benefit schemes were $27,227 and $33,965, respectively.

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognized as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes consists of current taxes and deferred taxes.

Current tax is recognized based on the results for the 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 recognized in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis. 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 profit or loss, 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.

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. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. The Company does not consider that there was any uncertain tax position as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Segment reporting

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 details on 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 does not distinguish revenues, costs and expenses between segments in its internal reporting, but instead reports costs and expenses by nature as a whole.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income refers to revenue, expenses, gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from the Company translating its financial statements from functional currencies into reporting currency.

Earnings per share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) according with ASC 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS further takes into account of the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised and converted into ordinary shares. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no dilutive stocks.

Translation of foreign currencies

The Company’s principal place of operations is Hong Kong. The financial position and results of its operations are predominately determined using the Hong Kong Dollar, the local currency of QBS System, as the functional currency. The Company also has a subsidiary in Australia which uses Australian Dollar as its functional currency. The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars (“US$” or “$”). The results of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows, denominated in the functional currency, are translated to US$ at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period. Assets and liabilities denominated in functional currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to US$ at the applicable rate of exchange in effect at that date. The equity, denominated in the functional currency, is translated to US$ at the historical rate of exchange at the time of the transaction. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income under foreign exchange transaction losses.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the exchange price that would be received from an asset or paid to transfer a liability (as exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 —

 

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 —

 

Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 —

 

Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, financial instruments of the Company comprised primarily cash, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, other assets, short-term bank loans, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The Company concludes that the carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values, due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the terms closely approximating market conditions.

Related parties

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence of the same party, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

Commitments and contingencies

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

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss is incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially 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, would be disclosed.

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

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, or EGC, 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 April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which amends and clarifies several provisions of Topic 326. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief, which amends Topic 326 to allow the fair value option to be elected for certain financial instruments upon adoption. ASU 2019-10 extended the effective date of ASU 2016-13 until December 15, 2022. This standard replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for expected credit losses. The Company adopted the new standard on October 1, 2020 and the Company recognizes the full impact of the new standard in these consolidated financial statements and makes related disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280)” (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision useful financial analyses. Topic 280 requires a public entity to report a measure of segment profit or loss that the chief operating decision maker (CODM) uses to assess segment performance and make decisions about allocating resources. Topic 280 also requires other specified segment items and amounts, such as depreciation, amortization, and depletion expense, to be disclosed under certain circumstances. The amendments in ASU 202307 do not change or remove those disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 also do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, adopted retrospectively. Management considers that the guidance does not have a significant impact on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. One of the amendments in ASU 2023-09 includes disclosure of, on an annual basis, a tabular rate reconciliation of (i) the reported income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations, to (ii) the product of the income (or loss) from continuing operations before income taxes and the applicable statutory federal income tax rate of the jurisdiction of domicile using specific categories, including separate disclosure for any reconciling items within certain categories that are equal to or greater than a specified quantitative threshold of 5%. ASU 2023-09 also requires

F-18

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

disclosure of, on an annual basis, the year to date amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions, including additional disaggregated information on income taxes paid (net of refunds received) to an individual jurisdiction equal to or greater than 5% of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amendments in ASU2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied prospectively. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

4. Risks and Uncertainty

Currency risk

The Company’s operating activities are mainly transacted in HK$ and AUD which are also the functional currencies of the respective subsidiaries. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. The Company considers the foreign exchange risk in relation to transactions denominated in HK$ with respect to US$ is not significant as HK$ is pegged to US$. At the same time, the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to transactions denominated in AUD. If AUD depreciates against US$, it could have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had net AUD-denominated assets of $46,599. The Company estimates that a 10% depreciation of AUD against US$ based on the currency exchange rate on September 30, 2023 would result in a decrease of $4,660 against the Company’s shareholders’ equity whilst the Company estimates that a 10% appreciation of AUD against the US$ based on the currency exchange rate on September 30, 2023 would result in an increase of $4,660 against the Company’s shareholders’ equity accordingly.

The Company considers that the overall foreign exchange risk is not significant, and the Company has not used any instruments or derivatives to manage or hedge the risk.

Credit risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to the credit risks consist of cash, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties and other assets. The maximum exposures of such assets to credit risk are their carrying amounts as of the balance sheet dates.

The Company deposits its cash with reputable banks located in Hong Kong. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, $619,570 and $941,527 were deposited with these banks, respectively. Balances maintained with banks in Hong Kong are insured under the Deposit Protection Scheme introduced by the Hong Kong Government for a maximum amount of HK$500,000 (equivalent to $63,850) for each depositor at one bank, whilst the balances maintained by the Company may at times exceed the insured limits. Cash balances maintained with banks in Hong Kong are not otherwise insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other programs. The Company has not experienced any losses in these bank accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and restricted cash.

Assets that potentially subject the Company to significant credit risks primarily consist of accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties and other assets. The Company performs regular and ongoing credit assessments of the counterparts’ financial conditions and credit histories. The Company also assesses historical collection trends, aging of receivables and general economic conditions. The Company considers that it has adequate controls over these receivables in order to minimize the related credit risk. As of September 30, 2023, and 2022, the balances of allowance for expected credit losses were $70,816 and $65,297, respectively.

Interest rate risk

Fluctuations in market interest rates may negatively affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company is exposed to floating interest rate risk on bank deposits and bank loans, particularly during periods when the interest rate is expected to significant changes. Nevertheless, given the amounts of bank deposits and bank loans in question, the Company considers its interest rate risk to be manageable and not likely to cause significant disruption to the business. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an outstanding principal of $588,496. The Company estimates that a 1% increase in the Hong Kong Dollar Prime Rate against bank loans outstanding on September 30, 2023 would result in an increase in interest expense of $5,885 per annum whilst the Company estimates that a 1% decrease in the Hong Kong Dollar Prime Rate against bank loans outstanding on September 30, 2023 would result in a decrease in interest expense of $5,885 per annum. The Company has not used any instruments or derivatives to manage or hedge its interest rate risk exposure.

The Company has operating leases for office. The lease agreement does not specify an explicit interest rate. The Company’s management believes that using an incremental borrowing rate of the Hong Kong Prime Rate minus 0.25% p.a. was the most indicative rate of the Company’s borrowing cost for the calculation of the present value of the lease payments at the lease inception; the rate used by the Company was 5.0%.

Under relevant Hong Kong tax laws, tax case is normally subject to investigation by the tax authority for up to 6 years of assessment prior to the current year of assessment, unless in a case of fraud or willful evasion, then the investigation can be extended to cover 10 years of assessment. Under relevant Australia tax laws, a time limit has been put in which Australian Taxation Office can amend an assessment. For most taxpayers with simple affairs, the amendment period for an income tax assessment is 2 years from the date that a taxpayer issued with an assessment, while those with more complex affairs would extend to 4 years from the date that a taxpayer issued with an assessment. However, in a case where the Australian Taxation Office forms an opinion of fraud or evasion, there is no time limit for amending an assessment.

As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no open tax investigation from the tax authority.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

15. Related Party Transaction and Balance (cont.)

(2)      The balances as of September 30, 2023 and 2022 represented advances to related company, after allowance for expected credit losses, for its operational purposes. The balances were unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. As of the date these financial statements were issued, the balances have been disposed following the disposal of QBS Pty to Mr. Wong Ka Ki on July 8, 2024.

(3)      The balances as of September 30, 2023 and 2022 represented advances from a related company and directors for the Company’s operational purposes. The balances were unsecured, non-interest bearing and repayable on demand. As of the date theses financial statements were issued, the balances have not been settled.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had neither significant financial nor capital commitment.

Contingencies

As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company was not a party to any material legal or administrative proceedings. The Company further concludes that there were no legal or regulatory proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, that could have resulted in an unfavorable outcome with a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, consolidated financial condition, or cash flows.

17. Segment information

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 CODM for making decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance.

The Company does not distinguish revenues, costs and expenses between segments in its internal reporting, but instead reports costs and expenses by nature as a whole. Based on the management’s assessment, the Company determines that it has only one operating segment and therefore one reportable segment as defined by ASC 280. Furthermore, the majority of the Company’s revenue are derived in or from Hong Kong with all operation being carried out in Hong Kong. Therefore, no geographical segments are presented. The Company concludes that it has only one reportable segment. As such, all financial segment information required by the authoritative guidance can be found in the consolidated financial statements.

18. Subsequent Events

Disposal of QBS Pty to a related party

On July 8, 2024, QBS System entered into an agreement with Mr. Wong Ka Ki, the sole director of QBS Pty and a substantial shareholder of Mericorn Company Limited, to dispose of 100% shares in QBS Pty to Mr. Wong Ka Ki at a consideration of AUD10,000 (equivalent to $6,737), with no gain or loss on disposal. The consideration of AUD10,000 was received by QBS System on July 9, 2024. The Company has no outstanding balance due from or to QBS Pty since then.

The Company evaluates all events and transactions that occur after September 30, 2023 up through the date the Company issues the consolidated financial statements. Other than the event disclosed above and elsewhere in these consolidated financial statements, there is no other subsequent event occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability. 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. The Memorandum and Articles of Association provides for indemnification of our officers and directors for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own willful negligence or default.

Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, the form of which will be filed as an exhibit to this registration statement, we agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the past three years, we have issued the following securities. We believe that each of the following issuances 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. No underwriter was involved in these issuances of securities.

ITEM 9. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

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 SEC 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 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)    For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(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 underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

i.       Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

ii.      Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

iii.    The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

iv.      Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
