EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Registration Statement contains two prospectuses, as set forth below.

 

Public Offering Prospectus. A prospectus to be used for the public offering of 3,000,000 ordinary shares of the Registrant (the “Public Offering Prospectus”) through the underwriter named on the cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus.

 

Resale Prospectus. A prospectus to be used for the resale by the selling shareholders set forth therein of 1,920,000 ordinary shares of the Registrant (the “Resale Prospectus”).

 

The Resale Prospectus is substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus, except for the following principal points:

 

they contain different outside and inside front covers and back covers;

 

they contain different Offering sections in the Prospectus Summary section beginning on page 1 and page Alt-1 respectively;

 

they contain different Use of Proceeds sections on page 58 and page Alt-2 respectively;

 

a selling shareholder section is included in the Resale Prospectus;

 

a selling shareholder Plan of Distribution is inserted in the Resale Prospectus; and

 

the Legal Matters section in the Resale Prospectus on page Alt-4 deletes the reference to counsel for the underwriter.

 

The Registrant has included in this Registration Statement a set of alternate pages after the back cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus (the “Alternate Pages”) to reflect the foregoing differences in the Resale Prospectus as compared to the Public Offering Prospectus. The Public Offering Prospectus will exclude the Alternate Pages and will be used for the public offering by the Registrant. The Resale Prospectus will be substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus except for the addition or substitution of the Alternate Pages and will be used for the resale offering by the selling shareholders.

 

 

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell the securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and we are not soliciting any offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where such offer or sale is not permitted.

 

Preliminary Prospectus SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED October 27, 2023

  

3,000,000 Ordinary Shares

 

RAYTECH HOLDING LIMITED

 

This is a firm commitment initial public offering 3,000,000ordinary shares of Raytech Holding Limited (the “Company” or “Raytech Holding”, and when referring to the consolidated company including the Company’s subsidiaries, “we”, “us”), par value $0.00000625 per share (“Ordinary Shares”). The estimated initial public offering price for the Ordinary Shares in the offering is expected to be between $4.00 and $5.00 per Ordinary Share. The selling shareholders (as defined herein) are offering 1,920,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company to be sold in the offering pursuant to the Resale Prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Ordinary Shares of the Company to be sold by the selling shareholders.

 

Raytech Holding will reserve the symbol “RAY” for the purpose of listing its Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. This offering is contingent upon the final approval from Nasdaq for the listing of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq Capital Market. Raytech Holding will not proceed to consummate this offering if Nasdaq denies its listing application. However, there can be no guarantee or assurance that the offering will be closed and Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares will be approved for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Investing in Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of losing your entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 26 of this prospectus to read about factors you should consider before buying Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares.

 

Upon the completion of this offering, Raytech Holding will have 19,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. Each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote. Raytech Holding’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Mr. Tim Hoi Ching, will beneficially own 12,800,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 67.4% of the total voting power of Raytech Holding’s issued and outstanding share capital immediately following the completing of this offering. As such, Mr. Ching will control matters subject to a vote by Raytech Holding’s shareholders, and Raytech Holding will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules. As a “controlled company,” Raytech Holding is permitted to elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. Although Raytech Holding currently does not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption for at least one year after the initial public offering, it may elect to rely on this exemption in the future. If Raytech Holding relies on these exemptions in the future, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being a Controlled Company” on page 21 for additional information.

 

Raytech Holding is a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). As a holding company with no material operations, Raytech Holding’s operations are conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pure Beauty Manufacturing Company Limited (“Pure Beauty”), in Hong Kong, a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). This is an offering of the Ordinary Shares of Raytech Holding, the holding company incorporated in BVI, instead of shares of Pure Beauty, Raytech Holding’s operating entity in Hong Kong. You may never directly hold any equity interest in Raytech Holding’s operating entity.

 

We are not based in mainland China and do not have operations or generate revenue in mainland China, except that the manufacturers that manufacture our products are located in mainland China. We currently do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary in mainland China, and do not foresee the need to enter into any contractual arrangements with a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to establish a VIE structure in mainland China. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, we generated all our revenues from Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Basic Law”), which is a national law of the PRC and the constitutional document for Hong Kong, national laws of the PRC shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. The Basic Law expressly provides that the national laws of the PRC which may be listed in Annex III of the Basic Law shall be confined to those relating to defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the autonomy of Hong Kong. The basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong as a special administrative region of the PRC are reflected in the Basic Law, 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”.

 

However, in light of the PRC government’s recent expansion of authority in Hong Kong, we may be subject to uncertainty about any future actions of the PRC government or authorities in Hong Kong, and it is possible that all the legal and operational risks associated with being based in and having operations in mainland China may also apply to operations in Hong Kong in the future. There is no assurance that there will not be any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong. The PRC government may intervene or influence our current and future operations in Hong Kong at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers like Raytech Holding. Such governmental actions, if and when they occur: (i) could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue our operations; (ii) could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to investors; and (iii) may cause the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless.

 

We are also aware that recently, the government of mainland China initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in mainland China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over mainland Chinese companies listed overseas using a VIE structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon the legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any. In addition, due to long arm provisions under the current laws and regulations of mainland China, there remains regulatory uncertainty with respect to whether in the future we will be required to obtain permissions or approvals from the authorities of mainland China to operate our business or to list Raytech Holding’s securities on the U.S. exchanges and offer securities.

 

 

 

 

As advised by Raytech Holding’s legal counsel of mainland China (“PRC Counsel”), Han Kun Law Offices, as of the date of this prospectus, on the basis that (i) we currently do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China, (ii) we do not have any business operations in mainland China, except that we collaborate with manufacturers located in mainland China to manufacture our products, (iii) none of our clients are located in mainland China, and (iv) we possess personal information of less than 1 million individuals in the PRC (for the purpose of this subsection (iv) only, including the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau and Taiwan), and do not possess any core data or important data of the PRC or any information which affects or may affect national security of the PRC, we believe, we are currently not required to obtain any permission or approval from the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”) or any other governmental authorities of mainland China to operate our business or to list Raytech Holding’s securities on the U.S. exchanges and offer securities, nor have we been denied of any permissions or approvals from the authorities of mainland China; specifically, we are currently not required to obtain any permission or approval from the CAC or any other governmental authority of mainland China to operate our business or to list Raytech Holding’s securities on a U.S. securities exchange or issue securities to foreign investors.

 

As advised by Raytech Holding’s PRC Counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, based on the facts that (i) we do not operate any PRC entities and the operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year is not accounted for by domestic companies of its business operations in mainland China; and (ii) our major operational activities are carried out outside mainland China, our main place(s) of business is outside mainland China and our senior management team in charge of our operation and management are not PRC citizens or have their usual places of residence located outside mainland China,  we believe that we are not required to fulfill the filing procedures with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) to list Raytech Holding’s securities on a U.S. securities exchange or issue securities to foreign investors.

 

Based on the foregoing, we do not currently expect the laws and regulations of mainland China to have any material impact on our business, financial conditions or results of operations and we are currently not subject to the government of mainland China’s direct influence or discretion over the manner in which we conduct our business activities outside of mainland China. Furthermore, Han Kun Law Offices LLP, Raytech Holding’s Hong Kong counsel, has advised Raytech Holding that, as of the date of this prospectus, Raytech Holding is not required to obtain any permission or approval from the governmental authorities of Hong Kong to list on the U.S. exchanges and offer securities and we have obtained all necessary licenses, permissions or approvals including the business registration certificate from the governmental authorities of Hong Kong to operate our business and to the best of our knowledge, no license, permission or approval has been denied.

 

Nevertheless, if we (i) do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, should such permissions or approvals be required in the future by the government of mainland China or Hong Kong, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, we may be unable to obtain such permissions or approvals in a timely manner, or at all, and may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC, the CAC or other PRC or Hong Kong regulatory authorities if we fail to fully comply with any new regulatory requirements. Consequently, our operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, and Raytech Holding’s ability to offer securities to investors could be significantly limited or completely hindered and the securities currently being offered may substantially decline in value and become worthless. If there is significant change to current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong, the PRC government intervenes or influences operations of companies operated in Hong Kong like us, or exerts more control through change of laws and regulations over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers like us, it may result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” beginning on page 36 and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong” beginning on page 39 of this prospectus for more information.

 

 

 

 

In addition, Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or over-the-counter market under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”) if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) is unable to inspect Raytech Holding’s auditors for three consecutive years. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “AHFCAA”), 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 consecutive years. Pursuant to the HFCA Act, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 (the “Determination Report”) which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (i) mainland China of the PRC, and (ii) Hong Kong; and such report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. On August 26, 2022, a Statement of Protocol was signed by the PCAOB, the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong (the “Statement of Protocol”). Pursuant to the Statement of Protocol, the PCAOB conducted inspections on select registered public accounting firms subject to the Determination Report in Hong Kong between September and November 2022. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB board announced that it has completed the inspections, determined that it had complete access to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, and voted to vacate the Determination Report. On December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (the “CAA”) was signed into law by President Biden. The CAA contained, among other things, an identical provision to the AHFCAA, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two. Raytech Holding’s auditor, WWC, P.C., is headquartered in San Mateo, California, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. Raytech Holding’s auditor is not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified in the Determination Report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determinations. Raytech Holding’s auditor is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess Raytech Holding’s auditor’s compliance with the applicable professional standards with the last inspection in December 2021. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, in the future, the PCAOB determines that it is not able to fully conduct inspections of Raytech Holding’s auditor for three consecutive years beginning in 2022, or the PCAOB re-evaluates its determination as a result of any obstruction with the implementation of the Statement of Protocol in the future, trading of its securities on a national securities exchange or in the over-the counter market may be prohibited under the HFCA Act and Raytech Holding’s access to the U.S. capital markets may be limited or restricted. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “AHFCAA”), which would reduce the period of time for foreign companies to comply with the PCAOB audits to two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading. The delisting of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and This Offering - Although the audit report included in this prospectus is prepared by U.S. auditors who are currently inspected by the PCAOB, there is no guarantee that future audit reports will be prepared by auditors inspected by the PCAOB and, as such, in the future investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. Furthermore, trading in Raytech Holding’s securities may be prohibited under the HFCA Act if the SEC subsequently determines Raytech Holding’s audit work is performed by auditors that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely, and as a result, U.S. national securities exchanges, such as the Nasdaq, may determine to delist Raytech Holding’s securities. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the AHFCAA, 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 for triggering the prohibition on trading.” on page 47 and “The recent joint statement by the SEC, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and an act passed by the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies. These developments could add uncertainties to Raytech Holding’s offering, share price and our business operations and reputation.” on page 49 of this prospectus for more information. 

 

Save for a BVI company meeting the solvency test set out in section 56 of the BVI Act, Raytech Holding is permitted under the laws of BVI to provide funding to its subsidiary Pure Beauty through loans or capital contributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds. Save for a BVI company meeting the solvency test set out in section 56 of the BVI Act, there are no restrictions or limitation under the laws of BVI on Raytech Holding’s ability to distribute earnings from its businesses, including subsidiary, to the U.S. investors. Pure Beauty is permitted under the laws of Hong Kong to provide funding to Raytech Holding through dividend distribution without restrictions on the amount of the funds. Both Raytech Holding and Pure Beauty currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Neither Raytech Holding or its subsidiary has any dividend payout policy, and each entity needs to comply with applicable law or regulations with respect to transfer of funds, dividends and distributions with other entities. Any future determination related to Raytech Holding’s dividend policy will be made at the discretion of Raytech Holding’s board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments. As of the date of this prospectus, Pure Beauty has distributed dividends as follows: on December 31, 2021, Pure Beauty declared a per share dividend of HKD155.80 (US$20) to its then sole shareholder, Mr. Ching, which was paid in full in a total amount of HKD1,558,000 (US$198,915) to the shareholder on January 21, 2022. If Raytech Holding determines to pay dividends on any of its Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, Raytech Holding will be dependent on receipt of funds from Pure Beauty. 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 Raytech Holding’s Hong Kong subsidiary, Pure Beauty. There are no restrictions or limitation under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HKD into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong. See “Dividend Policy” on page 60 and “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure – Raytech Holding may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements it may have, and any limitation on the ability of its subsidiary to make payments to it could have a material adverse effect on Raytech Holding’s ability to conduct its business.” on page 36 of this prospectus for more information.

 

 

 

 

Raytech Holding is an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Product Sourcing and Wholesaling

 

We are experienced in design and development in the personal care electrical appliance industry. Our research and development team consists of 2 full-time employees with aggregated experience of at least 16 years of industry experience in electrical appliances engineering and supply chain management. We serve our customers through sourcing or arranging the production process of personal care electrical appliance products to the manufacturers. Besides, leveraging our strong design and development capabilities and our experience in anticipating consumer preference, we are able to provide technical recommendations and solutions to or assist our customers in the design and development of the personal care electrical appliance products that meet the needs of our customers. Riding on our extensive experience and product development capability, we continue to expand and strengthen our market position and plan to explore oral care electrical appliance series for the international brand owners.

 

Our product sourcing service is summarized as follows: our sales and marketing team first receives an order from our customer who requests our expertise to examine and advise on the design and manufacturing feasibility of a product sample or design prototype of a product prepared by the customer. We forward the sample or design prototype to a manufacturer who performs a feasibility assessment of the design, specification, materials required, type of engineering and required technology and packaging of the product sample or design prototype provided by the customer. As an auxiliary service, we may suggest modifications to the design, specification, materials to be used, technology and packaging to the customer, or, as requested by our customer, may jointly design and develop the products with our customer in accordance with the requirement, standard and narrative of our customer. Upon the completion of the assessment and receipt of acceptance of the modifications from the customer, our marketing and operation team provides a price quotation to the customer. Once the quotation is accepted by the customer, we forward the finalized design, specification and customer’s requests to the manufacturer and arrange a manufacturing schedule for producing a sample at the manufacturer’s facility. The manufacturer performs an initial evaluation and quality testing on the sample of the finished product. We then provide the tested sample of the finished product to our customer. Upon the acceptance of the sample of the finished product by the customer’s quality control team, we will arrange a manufacturing schedule with the manufacturer for a mass production. After the mass production is completed, our shipping team confirms the shipping destination with our customer, arranges the shipping documents and forwards the instructions to the manufacturer who fulfills the shipment of the finished product to the customer’s destination as instructed.

 

We bear the costs and risks of forwarding the sample or design prototype to a manufacturer, providing suggestions for modifications of product design, sending the tested sample of the finished product to our customer and shipping delay that is otherwise caused by other parties rather than the manufacturer. In the event of manufacturing defaults such as refining the product samples, manufacturing failure or delay, or delay of shipping caused by the manufacturing facility, our collaborating manufacturer bears the relative costs and risks.

 

We sell our personal care electrical appliances products at wholesale to our customers. As the design, prototype, specification of the personal care electrical appliances and the respective packaging, are developed under the narratives, requirements and standards of our customers, the patents of such design and product prototype are owned by our customers.

Majority of our customers are international brand owners who predominantly marketed their personal care electrical appliances in Japan.

 

A study of personal care appliances in Japan performed by Euromonitor International in January 2023 (“the study”, or “the research”) found that while total retail sales volume flattened by 1% in 2022, from 30.1 million in 2021 to 29.7 million in 2022, the overall total sales value of personal care electrical appliances in Japan increased by 6.2% in 2022, from Japanese Yen 253.7 billion in 2021 to Japanese Yen 269.5 billion in 2022 primarily due to a growth in the average unit price, particularly in hair care electrical appliance, in 2022. The study predicted that in 2023, this sector is expected to reach a 1.45% increase from Japanese Yen 269.5 billion in 2022 to Japanese Yen 279.5 billion in 2023.

 

Statistics performed by Euromonitor International identified that Panasonic Corp is the major seller which represented 45.1% of the market share in the personal care electrical appliance industry in Japan in 2022. Tescom Co. Ltd., Koizumi Seiki Corp., Procter & Gamble Far East Inc., Hitachi Appliances Inc and Philips Electronics Japan Ltd. represented 7.4%, 7.3%, 6.5%, 3.5% and 3.7%, respectively, of the total market share in Japanese personal care electrical appliance industry.

 

Further, the research analyzed that the development of the personal care appliances includes three aspects:

 

  brand premiumization and inflation

 

  emergence in men’s personal care appliance market

 

  opportunities in children’s personal care appliances market

 

Euromonitor explained that the major personal care appliances market players in Japan such as Panasonic, Sharp and Koizumi, upgraded their personal care appliances products with new technologies particularly hair care appliances in order to charge premium prices. As premium hair dryers have been widely accepted in Japan, there is an opportunity for those market players to charge higher price in this category.

 

Men’s personal care appliances market is developing prominently. New technologies such as ion plate technology by Panasonic, radiofrequency technology by Ya-man enhanced the features and functions of skin care shaver products as well as consumer’s perception towards such products.

 

The study highlighted that Sharp launched new hair dryer in 2022 which introduced new “gentle mode” in its hair dryer products which were also focused children’s hair. Such feature incorporated weaker power, less noise and mild temperature which resolved the comfort and safety issues perceived by children. The study predicted that personal care electrical appliance market players tend to explore more added-values functions for their personal care appliance products targeted to children’s sector.

 

The research reflected that the sales value of the hair care and hair removal appliances increased by 5.8% from Japanese Yen 182.6 billion in 2021 to Japanese Yen 193.2 billion 2022. The sales value of this subcategory is projected to rise by 2.5% from Japanese Yen 193.2 billion in 2022 to Japanese Yen 198.0 billion in 2023.

 

The study identified that the sales value of the overall oral care appliances in Japan steadily increased by 1.2% to Japanese Yen 25.0 billion in 2022 from Japanese Yen 24.7 billion in 2021. The sales value of this product category is expected to remain steady in 2023 with a slight increment of 1.2% in 2023, from Japanese Yen 25.0 billion in 2022 to Japanese Yen 25.3 billion in 2023.

 

Moreover, the study revealed that the sales value of the other personal care appliances (which included other oral appliances, electric toothbrush units, battery toothbrush units and others) in Japan exhibited a strong performance in 2022 and is expected to remain at a comparable growth rate in 2023. In 2022, Japan posted a 10.7% raise in the sales value of this product line, from Japanese Yen 43.9 billion in 2021 to Japanese Yen 48.6 billion in 2022. By 2023, Japan is foreseen to generate revenue approximately Japanese Yen 53.5 billion in other personal care electrical appliances, which represents a rise by 10.1% from 2022.

Future Development

 

In its “Personal Care Electrical Appliances Market Size 2023-28 Market Research Report,” IMARC Group predicted that the global personal care electrical appliances market size could reach US$30.2 billion by 2028 which represents a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5% during 2023-2028.

 

“Personal Care Appliances Global Market Report 2023 – By Product (Hair Care, Hair Removal, Oral Care, Other Products), By Distribution Channel (Online, Offline), By End-Use (Female, Male) – Market Size, Trends, And Global Forecast 2023-2032” published by The Business Research Company anticipated that the global market value for personal care appliances is estimated to grow to US$28.22 million by 2027, proliferating at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. It analyzed that Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period.

 

Allied Market Research evaluated that the expansion in the global personal care electrical appliances market from 2022 through 2031 is driven by an improvement in economic environment, an uprising in aging population and a surge in disposable income. Moreover, social media also play an instrumental role in the society and businesses utilized social media as a conduit to promote and market their brands and products. The research indicated that e-commerce channel segment is expected to record the highest CAGR of 7.4% among various distribution channels of this market during 2022 through 2031 owing to the increased association of internet and e-shopping habit of the consumers. In addition, through the advertisements and promotions of brands or products by celebrities or notable individuals, these brands and products tend to increase consumers’ awareness, trust and comfort. These sales channels help fuel the market and create bigger opportunities for personal care electrical appliances market.

 

In addition, according to the analysis of Research and Markets on Asia-Pacific Personal Care Appliances Market Outlook 2027, Asia-Pacific personal care appliances market has expanded at CAGR of 4% over the historical period. Major drivers include increase in demand for personal care appliance products with advanced functions such as keratin-based hairdryers and straighteners designed to minimize hair damage, higher popularity of online purchase, an increase in consciousness of personal hygiene and appearance and spurge in household income. Allied Market Research also stated that the use of social media, a rise in disposable income, rapid urbanization and an increase in youth population in Asia-pacific regions trigger the demand for personal care appliances which would exhibit the highest CAGR of 8.4% during 2022 through 2031.

 

A study of personal care appliances in Japan conducted by Euromonitor International expected Japan to see a growth at a CAGR of 3.1% in this sector in terms of sales value over the forecast period from 2022 through 2026. The sales value of each personal care appliances category in Japan is expected to rise steadily from 2023 through 2027. While the overall retail volume of the overall personal care appliances in Japan is anticipated to increase from 2023 through 2027, the retail volumes of oral care and electric facial cleansers appliances in Japan are expected to slightly decline at a CAGR of 0.5% and 0.2% respectively. The study analyzed that Japanese consumers tended to stay indoors during the pandemic in Japan and had lower tendency to pay attention to their appearance.

 

Key Market Drivers and Opportunities

 

Below is a list of major factors that we believe are key market drivers and opportunities for the industry:

 

  rise in disposable incomes and expansion of organized retail sector;

 

  advertising and promotions through social media and celebrities;

 

  rapid technological advances and energy efficiency innovations that offering budget-friendly styling and personal care electrical appliance products, advanced products with convenience and ease-of-use; and

 

  change of lifestyle pattern and fashion trends that drive customers to splurge on styling and aesthetically appealing self-grooming devices for personal care and hygiene.

 

Key Market Restraints

 

We believe the following are major factors that restraint the development of the industry in the near future:

 

  increasing amount of plastic waste due to disposal of electrical appliances acts as a restraint in the development of these products; and

 

  emerging markets are expected to continue to grow slightly slower than the developed markets in the forecast period due to lower priority in personal care and hygiene comparing with the developed markets.

COVID-19 Impact

 

Based on an analysis “Personal Care Electrical Appliances Market by Product Type and Distribution Channel: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2022-2031” concluded by Allied Market Research, the outbreak of coronavirus has led to shutdown of economic activities in the country for few months and has halted the operations of the personal care electrical appliances industry. There were supply disruptions across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific during the initial period of the pandemic outbreak. The pandemic also had negative impacts to the sales of personal care appliances market at the physical stores in recent years. In spite of this, the online sales channel has proliferated dramatically amidst the pandemic. Major market participants are now expanding their online channels to cater to increased demand from direct-to-consumer channel. Furthermore, globally, COVID-19 pandemic has increased consumer attention toward personal care and hygiene, which is expected to positively impact the personal care electrical appliances market in the upcoming years.

 

“Personal Care Appliances Global Report” published in January 2023 by The Business and Research Company mentioned that the conflict between Russian-Ukraine delayed the recovery of global economy after the COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis adversely impacted the supply chain needed for the manufacturing of personal care appliance products and logistics which ultimately caused a soar in the product prices and inflation globally.

If we fail to compete effectively, we may miss new business opportunities or lose existing customers, and our revenues and profitability may decline. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 34 of this prospectus.

 

If we are unable to rely on the services and connections of our key personnel, or retain the current key personnel, our business could be adversely affected. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 34 of this prospectus.

 

  Certain of our officers or directors may have actual or potential conflicts of interest because of their equity interests in or positions with Raytech Holdings Company Limited and Zhongshan Raytech.

 

  Employees may leave us to form or join competitors, and we may not have, or may choose not to pursue, legal recourse against such professionals. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 35 of this prospectus.

 

Our business and sales are subject to the business strategies of the brand owners. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 35 of this prospectus.

 

We cannot assure that our products can meet consumer preferences and needs, and will continue to gain market acceptance and secure market share. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 35 of this prospectus.

 

We rely on external manufacturers for production of some of our products. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 35 of this prospectus.

 

Our operating results may fluctuate due to seasonality and other factors. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 36 of this prospectus.

 

We may be unable to maintain rapid growth and implement our future plans. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 36 of this prospectus.

 

A severe or prolonged downturn in the Chinese or global economy could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 36 of this prospectus.

 

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

 

We are also subject to risks and uncertainties related to our corporate structure, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

  Raytech Holding may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements Raytech Holding may have, and any limitation on the ability of its subsidiary to make payments to it could have a material adverse effect on Raytech Holding’s ability to conduct its business. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 36 of this prospectus.

 

  Our lack of effective internal controls over financial reporting may affect our ability to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud which may affect the market for and price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 37 of this prospectus.

  If Raytech Holding ceases to qualify as a foreign private issuer, Raytech Holding would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and Raytech Holding would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that it would not incur as a foreign private issuer. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 37 of this prospectus.

 

  Raytech Holding is an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if Raytech Holding takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make it more difficult to compare Raytech Holding’s performance with other public companies. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 38 of this prospectus.

 

  Raytech Holding will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company, particularly after Raytech Holding ceases to qualify as an “emerging growth company.” See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 38 of this prospectus.

 

  Raytech Holding’s board of directors may decline to register transfers of Ordinary Shares in certain circumstances. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 39 of this prospectus.

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong

 

Substantially all of our operations are in Hong Kong; therefore, we face risks and uncertainties relating to doing business in Hong Kong in general, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

  All of Pure Beauty’s operations are in Hong Kong. However, due to the long arm provisions under the current laws and regulations of mainland China, the government of mainland China may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. The government of mainland China may also intervene or impose restrictions on our ability to move money out of Hong Kong to distribute earnings and pay dividends or to reinvest in our business outside of Hong Kong. Changes in the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the government of mainland China may also be quick with little advance notice and our assertions and beliefs of the risk imposed by the legal and regulatory system of mainland China cannot be certain. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 39 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 Raytech Holding’s subsidiary. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 40 of this prospectus.
     
  There are political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 41 of this prospectus.
     
  There remain some uncertainties as to whether we will be required to obtain approvals from authorities of mainland China and Hong Kong to list Raytech Holding’s securities on the U.S. exchanges and offer securities in the future, and if required, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such approval. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 42 of this prospectus.
     
  Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies for cross-border provision and examination of auditing records and other materials in connection with overseas securities issuance and listing by domestic Chinese companies was released by the CSRC and took effect since March 31, 2023. The government of mainland China may impose more stringent requirement for domestic Chinese companies to share business and accounting records with foreign auditing firms and other securities service institutions, which could significantly limit or completely hinder Raytech Holding’s ability to offer or continue to offer its Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 44 of this prospectus.
     
  It may be difficult for overseas shareholders and/or regulators to conduct investigation or collect evidence within China. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 46 of this prospectus.
     
  You may incur additional costs and procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against Raytech Holding or its management named in the prospectus based on Hong Kong laws. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 46 of this prospectus.

 

  We may be affected by the currency peg system in Hong Kong. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 46 of this prospectus.

Risks Related to Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and This Offering

 

In addition to the risks described above, we are subject to general risks and uncertainties relating to Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and this offering, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

  Prior to this offering there has been no public market for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and the sales of our Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders pursuant to the Resale Prospectus filed contemporaneously herewith, and if an active trading market does not develop you may not be able to resell Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares at or above the price you paid, or at all. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 47 of this prospectus.

 

  Although the audit report included in this prospectus is prepared by U.S. auditors who are subject to PCAOB inspections on a regular basis, there is no guarantee that future audit reports will be prepared by auditors inspected by the PCAOB and, as such, in the future investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. Furthermore, trading in Raytech Holding’s securities may be prohibited under the HFCA Act if the SEC subsequently determines Raytech Holding’s audit work is performed by auditors that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely, and as a result, U.S. national securities exchanges, such as the Nasdaq, may determine to delist Raytech Holding’s securities. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the AHFCAA, 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 for triggering the prohibition on trading. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 47 of this prospectus.

 

  The recent joint statement by the SEC, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and an act passed by the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies. These developments could add uncertainties to Raytech Holding’s offering, business operations, share price and reputation. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 49 of this prospectus.

 

  Nasdaq may apply additional and more stringent criteria for Raytech Holding’s initial and continued listing because Raytech Holding plans to have a small public offering and our insiders will hold a large portion of Raytech Holding’s listed securities. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 49 of this prospectus.

 

  Raytech Holding’s 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 Ordinary Shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 50 of this prospectus.

 

  The initial public offering price for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market and such market prices may be volatile. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 50 of this prospectus.

 

  You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of Ordinary Shares purchased. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 50 of this prospectus.

 

  Substantial future sales of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares or the anticipation of future sales of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the public market could cause the price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to decline. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 50 of this prospectus.

 

  Raytech Holding does not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 51 of this prospectus.

 

13

 

 

  The offering price of this underwritten public offering and resale offering could differ.
     
  The resale by the selling shareholders may cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decline.
     
  If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they publish a negative report regarding Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, the price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 51 of this prospectus.

 

  Raytech Holding may experience extreme stock price, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, and such volatility may subject Raytech Holding to securities litigation. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 51 of this prospectus.

 

  You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because Raytech Holding is incorporated under British Virgin Islands law. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 52 of this prospectus.

 

  As a foreign private issuer, Raytech Holding is permitted to, and Raytech Holding will, rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq Stock Exchange corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of Raytech Holding’s shares. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 52 of this prospectus.

 

  If Raytech Holding cannot satisfy, or continue to satisfy, the initial listing requirements and other rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, although it is exempt from certain corporate governance standards applicable to US issuers as a Foreign Private Issuer, Raytech Holding’s securities may not be listed or may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of Raytech Holding’s securities and your ability to sell them. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 53 of this prospectus.

 

  Because our business is conducted in Hong Kong dollars and the price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares is quoted in United States dollars, changes in currency conversion rates may affect the value of your investments. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 53 of this prospectus.

 

  Raytech Holding has broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 54 of this prospectus.

 

  Raytech Holding’s pre-IPO shareholders will be able to sell their shares after completion of this offering subject to restrictions under Rule 144. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 54 of this prospectus.

 

  There can be no assurance that Raytech Holding will not be a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 54 of this prospectus.

Corporate History and Holding Company Structure

 

Pure Beauty was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong with limited liability on April 15, 2013 and Raytech Holding’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Ching is the founder. In order to prepare for this offering, a series of restructure actions have been taken. In June 2022, Raytech Holding was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands with the sole purpose being a holding company of Pure Beauty. Upon incorporation, Raytech Holding issued 100 founder shares of ordinary share, par value $1.00 per share, to Mr. Ching (90 shares) and other minority shareholders (collectively 10 shares) at $1.00 per share. In August 2022, Mr. Ching, as the sole member of Pure Beauty, transferred all outstanding 10,000 shares of Pure Beauty held by him to Raytech Holding, in conjunction with which, Pure Beauty issued additional 790,000 shares to Raytech Holding; resulting in Raytech Holding being the parent company of Pure Beauty, holding a total of 800,000 shares in Pure Beauty. In September 2022, Mr. Ching subsequently transferred 5 shares of Raytech Holding to APTC Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, and 5 shares of Raytech Holding to Mr. Chun Yin Ling, a director nominee of Raytech Holding and a director assistant of Pure Beauty at $1.00 per share. As of the date hereof, Mr. Ching holds 80% of the equity interests in Raytech Holding and other minority shareholders collectively hold 20% of the equity interests in Raytech Holding.

 

In May 2023, we filed our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs to increase our authorized shares from 50,000 Ordinary Shares, par value of $1.00 per share, to 8,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value of $0.00000625 per share and effectuated a forward split of all issued and outstanding shares at a ratio of 160,000-for-1.

 

The following diagram illustrates our corporate legal structure:

Permission Required from the Authorities of Mainland China and Hong Kong for this Offering  

 

As advised by Raytech Holding’s PRC Counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, as of the date of this prospectus, on the basis that (i) we currently do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China,(ii) we do not have any business operations in mainland China, except that we collaborate with manufacturers located in mainland China to manufacture our products, (iii) none of our clients are located in mainland China, and (iv) we possess personal information of less than 1 million individuals in the PRC (for the purpose of this subsection (iv), including the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau and Taiwan), and do not possess any core data or important data of the PRC or any information which affects or may affect national security of the PRC, we believe, we are currently not required to obtain any permission or approval from the CAC or any other governmental authorities of mainland China to operate our business or to list Raytech Holding’s securities on the U.S. exchanges and offer securities, nor have we been denied of any permissions or approvals from the authorities of mainland China; specifically, we are currently not required to obtain any permission or approval from the CAC or any other governmental authority of mainland China to operate our business or to list Raytech Holding’s securities on a U.S. securities exchange or issue securities to foreign investors.

 

As advised by Raytech Holding’s PRC Counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, based on the facts that (i) we do not operate any PRC entities and the operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year are not accounted for by domestic companies of its business operations in mainland China; and (ii) our major operational activities are carried out outside mainland China, our main places of business is outside mainland China and our senior management team in charge of our operation and management are not PRC citizens or have their usual places of residence located outside mainland China, we believe that we are not required to fulfill the filing procedures with the CSRC to list Raytech Holding’s securities on a U.S. securities exchange or issue securities to foreign investors.

 

Based on the foregoing, we do not currently expect the laws and regulations of mainland China have any material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations and we are currently not subject to the government of mainland China’s direct influence or discretion over the manner in which we conduct our business activities outside of the mainland China. Furthermore, Han Kun Law Offices LLP, Raytech Holding’s Hong Kong counsel, has advised Raytech Holding that, as of the date of this prospectus, Raytech Holding is not required to obtain any permission or approval from the governmental authorities of Hong Kong to list on the U.S. exchanges and offer securities.

 

However, if we (i) do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, should such permissions or approvals be required in the future by the PRC or Hong Kong government, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, we may be unable to obtain such permissions or approvals in a timely manner, or at all, and may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC, the CAC or other PRC or Hong Kong regulatory authorities if we fail to fully comply with any new regulatory requirements. Consequently, our operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, and Raytech Holding’s ability to offer securities to investors could be significantly limited or completely hindered and the securities currently being offered may substantially decline in value and become worthless. 

 

Nevertheless, we are aware that recently, the government of mainland China initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in mainland China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over mainland Chinese companies listed overseas using a VIE structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon the legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any. It is also highly uncertain what potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operations, our ability to accept foreign investments and the listing of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares on a U.S. or other foreign exchanges. If there is significant change to current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong, the PRC government intervenes or influences operations of companies operated in Hong Kong like us, or exerts more control through change of laws and regulations over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers like us, it may result in a material change in our operations, financial condition and/or the value of the securities Raytech Holding is registering for sale or could significantly limit or completely hinder Raytech Holding’s ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” beginning on page 36 and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong” beginning on page 39 of this prospectus for more information.

 

Transfers of Cash to and from Our Subsidiary

 

Raytech Holding is permitted under the laws of British Virgin Islands to provide funding to its subsidiary in Hong Kong through loans or capital contributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds. There are no restrictions or limitation on Raytech Holding’s ability to distribute earnings from its businesses, including subsidiary, to the U.S. investors.

Our equity structure is a direct holding structure, that is, the overseas entity to be listed in the U.S., Raytech Holding, directly holds 100% of shares of Pure Beauty, Raytech Holding’s Hong Kong operating entity. Cash is transferred through our organization in the following manner: (i) funds may be transferred from Raytech Holding, the holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands to Pure Beauty in the form of capital contributions or shareholder loans, as the case may be; and (ii) dividends or other distributions may be paid by Pure Beauty to Raytech Holding. Pure Beauty is permitted under the laws of Hong Kong to provide funding to Raytech Holding through dividend distribution without restrictions on the amount of the funds or restrictions on foreign exchange. If Raytech Holding intends to distribute dividends to its shareholders, it will depend on payment of dividends from Pure Beauty to Raytech Holding in accordance with the laws and regulations of Hong Kong, and the dividends will be distributed by Raytech Holding to all shareholders respectively in proportion to the shares they hold, regardless of whether the shareholders are U.S. investors or investors in other countries or regions. If Pure Beauty incurs debt on its own in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict Pure Beauty’s ability to pay dividends, make distribution or transfer funds to Raytech Holding. Subject to the BVI Act and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, Raytech Holding’s board of directors may authorize and declare a dividend to shareholders at such time and of such an amount as they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately following the dividend the value of Raytech Holding’s assets will exceed its liabilities and Raytech Holding will be able to pay its debts as they become due. There is no further BVI statutory restriction on the amount of funds which may be distributed by us by dividend.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, Pure Beauty has distributed dividends as follows: On December 31, 2021, Pure Beauty declared a per share dividend of HKD155.80 (US$20) to its then sole shareholder, Mr. Ching, which was paid in full in a total amount of HKD1,558,000 (US$198,915) to the shareholder on January 21, 2022. As of the date of this prospectus, Raytech Holding does not have any U.S. investors, so no dividends or distributions have been made to any U.S. investors. Both Raytech Holding and Pure Beauty currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of Raytech Holding’s board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments.

 

Within our direct holding structure, the cross-border transfer of funds within our corporate Company is legal and compliant with the laws and regulations of the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong. In the future, cash proceeds from overseas financing activities, including this offering, can be directly transferred to subordinate operating entity Pure Beauty via capital contribution or shareholder loans.

 

In the reporting periods presented in this prospectus, no cash and other asset transfers have occurred among the Company and its subsidiary.

 

Currently, substantially all of our operations are in Hong Kong. We do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary or enter into any contractual arrangements to establish a VIE structure with any entity in mainland China. Since 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, 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”. The laws and regulations of mainland China do not currently have any material impact on transfer of cash from Raytech Holding to Pure Beauty or from Pure Beauty to Raytech Holding and the investors in the U.S.

 

There are no restrictions or limitation under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HKD into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong.

 

See “Dividend Policy” on page 60 and “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Corporate StructureRaytech Holding may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements Raytech Holding may have, and any limitation on the ability of its subsidiary to make payments to Raytech Holding could have a material adverse effect on Raytech Holding’s ability to conduct its business.” on page 36 of this prospectus for more information.

The information contained in, or accessible from, Raytech Holding’s website or any other website does not constitute a part of this prospectus.

 

Recent Regulatory Development in PRC

 

We are not based in mainland China and do not have operations in mainland China, except that we collaborate with manufacturers located in mainland China to manufacture the products. We currently do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary in mainland China, or do not foresee the need to enter into any contractual arrangements with a VIE to establish a VIE structure in mainland China. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, we generated all our revenues from Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Basic Law, which is a national law of the PRC and the constitutional document for Hong Kong, national laws of the PRC shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. The Basic Law expressly provides that the national laws of the PRC which may be listed in Annex III of the Basic Law shall be confined to those relating to defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the autonomy of Hong Kong. The basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong as a special administrative region of the PRC are reflected in the Basic Law, 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”.

However, in light of the PRC government’s recent expansion of authority in Hong Kong, we may be subject to uncertainty about any future actions of the PRC government or authorities in Hong Kong, and it is possible that all the legal and operational risks associated with being based in and having operations in the PRC may also apply to operations in Hong Kong in the future.  There is no assurance that there will not be any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong. The PRC government may intervene or influence our current and future operations in Hong Kong at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers like Raytech Holding. Such governmental actions, if and when occur: (i) could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue our operations; (ii) could significantly limit or completely hinder Raytech Holding’s ability to offer or continue to offer its Ordinary Shares to investors; and (iii) may cause the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless.

 

We are also aware that, recently, the government of mainland China initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in mainland China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over mainland-China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. 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 the Opinions on Strictly and Lawfully Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities 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, the CAC and other authorities of mainland China promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which took effect on February 15, 2022. In addition, the Cybersecurity Law, which was adopted by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on November 7, 2016 and came into force on June 1, 2017, and the Cybersecurity Review Measures, or the “Review Measures”, provide that personal information and important data collected and generated by a critical information infrastructure operator, or a “CIIO”, in the course of its operations in mainland China must be stored mainland China, and if a CIIO purchases internet products and services that affect or may affect national security, it should be subject to national security review by the CAC together with competent departments of the State Council. On November 14, 2021, the CAC published the Regulations on the Network Data Security Administration Draft, or the “Network Data Security Regulations Draft”, to solicit public opinion and comments. Under the Network Data Security Regulations Draft, an overseas initial public offering to be conducted by a data processor processing the personal information of more than one million individuals shall apply for a cybersecurity review. Data processor means an individual or organization that independently makes decisions on the purpose and manner of processing in data processing activities, and data processing activities refers to activities such as the collection, retention, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure, or deletion of data.

 

We do not currently expect the Review Measures to have an impact on our business, operations or this offering as we do not believe that Pure Beauty is deemed to be a “CIIO” or a “data processor” controlling personal information of no less than one million users. Hence, as advised by our PRC Counsel, we are not required to file for cybersecurity review before listing in the U.S., because (i) Pure Beauty is incorporated and operating in Hong Kong without any subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China and the Review Measures remains unclear whether it shall be applied to a Hong Kong company; (ii) as of the date of this prospectus, Pure Beauty did not collect and store any personal information of individual customers of mainland China and possess personal information of less than 1 million individuals in the PRC (for the purpose of this subsection (ii), including the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau and Taiwan), and do not possess any core data or important data of the PRC or any information which affects or may affect national security of the PRC; and (iii) as of the date of this prospectus, Pure Beauty has not been informed by any governmental authority of mainland China of any requirement that it file for a cybersecurity review. However, there remains significant uncertainty in the interpretation and enforcement of relevant cybersecurity laws and regulations of mainland China. If Pure Beauty is deemed to be a “CIIO” or a “data processor” controlling personal information of no less than one million users in the future, Pure Beauty’s operations and the listing of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the U.S. could be subject to CAC’s cybersecurity review. If the authorized PRC regulatory body subsequently determines that we are required to go through such cybersecurity review or if any other PRC government authorities promulgate any interpretation or implementation rules before Raytech Holding’s listing that would require us to go through a cybersecurity review for this offering, we may fail to complete such cybersecurity review procedures in a timely manner, or at all. Any failure or delay in the completion of the cybersecurity review procedures or any other non-compliance with the related laws and regulations may result in fines or other penalties, reputational damage as well as legal proceedings or actions against us, which may have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are also aware that recently, the government of mainland China initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in mainland China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over mainland Chinese companies listed overseas using a VIE structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Nevertheless, since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon the legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any. It is also highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on Pure Beauty’s daily business operations, its ability to accept foreign investments and the listing of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. As advised by Raytech Holding’s PRC Counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, and to the knowledge of the management, on the basis that (i) Pure Beauty is incorporated and operating in Hong Kong without any subsidiary or VIE structure, or any intent to set up subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China, and (ii) Pure Beauty does not have any business operations in mainland China, except for its collaboration with manufacturers located in mainland China to manufacture our products, (iii) none of Pure Beauty’s clients are located in mainland China, and (iv) we possess personal information of less than 1 million individuals in the PRC (for the purpose of this subsection (iv), including the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau and Taiwan), and do not possess any core data or important data of the PRC or any information which affects or may affect national security of the PRC, Pure Beauty is not required to obtain regulatory approval for this offering of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to foreign investors from the authorities of mainland China, nor has Pure Beauty been denied of any permissions or approvals from the authorities of mainland China. Furthermore, Han Kun Law Offices LLP, Raytech Holding’s Hong Kong counsel, has advised Raytech Holding that, as of the date of this prospectus, Pure Beauty is not required to obtain regulatory approval for this offering of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to foreign investors from the authorities of Hong Kong. However, if there is significant change to current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong, or the applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change, and Pure Beauty is required to obtain such approval in the future, and Pure Beauty does not receive or maintain the approvals or is denied permission from the authorities of mainland China or Hong Kong, we will not be able to list Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares on a U.S. exchange, or continue to offer securities to investors, which would materially affect the interests of the investors and cause significant depreciation of the price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. However, if Pure Beauty (i) does not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, should such permissions or approvals be required in the future by the PRC or Hong Kong government, (ii) inadvertently concludes that such permissions or approvals are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and Pure Beauty is required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, Pure Beauty may be unable to obtain such permissions or approvals in a timely manner, or at all, and may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC, the CAC or other PRC or Hong Kong regulatory authorities if Pure Beauty fails to fully comply with any new regulatory requirements. Consequently, our operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, and Raytech Holding’s ability to offer securities to investors could be significantly limited or completely hindered and the securities currently being offered may substantially decline in value and become worthless. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong KongThere remain some uncertainties as to whether we will be required to obtain approval from authorities of mainland China and Hong Kong to list Raytech Holding’s securities on U.S. exchanges in the future, and if required, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such approval.” on page 42 of this prospectus.

 

In addition, we relied on two major manufacturers, Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi, which are located in Zhongshan, mainland China. For the year ended March 31, 2023, payments to each of Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi accounted for 83.1% and 10.4%, respectively, of the total manufacturing costs of the Company. For the year ended March 31, 2022, payments to Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi accounted for 77.3% and 22.3%, respectively, of the total manufacturing costs of the Company.

 

Certain risks associated with our major manufacturers in mainland China, including political and economic instability, global or regional adverse conditions, the financial stability of our manufacturers, our manufacturers’ ability to meet our standards, labor problems experienced by such manufacturers, the availability or cost of raw materials, merchandise quality issues, currency exchange rates, trade tariff developments, transport availability and cost, and other factors relating to our manufacturers are beyond our control, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our BusinessRisks associated with our major manufacturers in mainland China could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.” on page 28 of this prospectus.

Implications of the HFCA Act

 

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCA Act. An issuer will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. In June 2021, the Senate passed the AHFCAA, which would reduce the time period for the delisting of foreign companies under the HFCA Act to two consecutive years instead of three years. On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCA Act, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCA Act, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China of the PRC and Hong Kong; and such report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. On August 26, 2022, a Statement of Protocol was signed by the PCAOB, the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Statement of Protocol, the PCAOB conducted inspections on select registered public accounting firms subject to the Determination Report in Hong Kong between September and November 2022. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB board announced that it has completed the inspections, determined that it had complete access to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, and voted to vacate the Determination Report. On December 29, 2022, the CAA was signed into law by President Biden. The CAA contained, among other things, an identical provision to the AHFCAA, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two. 

 

Raytech Holding’s auditor, WWC, P.C., is headquartered in San Mateo, California, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. Raytech Holding’s auditor is not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified in the Determination Report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determinations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the future, if there is any regulatory change or step taken by PRC regulators that does not permit WWC, P.C. to provide audit work papers located in mainland China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation, or the PCAOB re-evaluates its determination as a result of any obstruction with the implementation of the Statement of Protocol in the future, Raytech Holding’s investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to Raytech Holding’s access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of its securities on a national exchange or “over-the-counter” markets may be prohibited under the HFCA Act.  See “Risk FactorsRisks Related to Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and This Offering Although the audit report included in this prospectus is prepared by U.S. auditors who are currently inspected by the PCAOB, there is no guarantee that future audit reports will be prepared by auditors inspected by the PCAOB and, as such, in the future investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. Furthermore, trading in Raytech Holding’s securities may be prohibited under the HFCA Act if the SEC subsequently determines Raytech Holding’s audit work is performed by auditors that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely, and as a result, U.S. national securities exchanges, such as the Nasdaq, may determine to delist Raytech Holding’s securities. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the AHFCAA, 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 for triggering the prohibition on trading.” on page 47 of this prospectus.

 

Implications of Being an “Emerging Growth Company”

 

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

 

  may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A;
     
  is not required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing Raytech Holding’s compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with Raytech Holding’s principles and objectives, which is commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”;
     
  is not required to obtain an attestation and report from Raytech Holding’s independent registered accounting firm on its management’s assessment of Raytech Holding’s internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
     
  is not required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from Raytech Holding’s shareholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);
     
  is exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;
     
  is eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act; and
     
  will not be required to conduct an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting for two years.

 

20

 

 

Raytech Holding intends to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act. Raytech Holding’s election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare its financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under §107 of the JOBS Act.

 

Under the JOBS Act, Raytech Holding may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after Raytech Holding’s initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, herein referred to as the Securities Act, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company.

 

Raytech Holding will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of: (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which its annual gross revenue exceeds $1.235 billion; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year during which the fifth anniversary of the date of this offering occurs; (iii) the date that Raytech Holding becomes a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, herein referred to as the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of Raytech Holding’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (iv) the date on which Raytech Holding has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during any three-year period.

 

Upon completion of this offering, Raytech Holding will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Even after Raytech Holding no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, as long as Raytech Holding qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act it will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

 

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

 

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

 

  the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specific information, or current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

 

Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies are also exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, even if Raytech Holding no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, but remain a foreign private issuer, Raytech Holding will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of companies that are neither an emerging growth company nor a foreign private issuer.

 

Implications of Being a Controlled Company

 

Prior to the completion of this Offering, and as long as Raytech Holding’s officers and directors, either individually or in the aggregate, own at least 50% of the voting power of our Company, we are a “controlled company” as defined under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

 

For so as Raytech Holding is a controlled company under that definition, Raytech Holding is permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including:

 

  an exemption from the rule that a majority of Raytech Holding’s board of directors must be independent directors;

 

  an exemption from the rule that the compensation of Raytech Holding’s chief executive officer must be determined or recommended solely by independent directors; and

 

  an exemption from the rule that Raytech Holding’s director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors.

 

As a result, you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

 

21

 

 

Although Raytech Holding does not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption under the Nasdaq listing rules for at least one year after the initial public offering, Raytech Holding may elect to rely on this exemption in the future. If Raytech Holding elects to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, a majority of the members of its board of directors might not be independent directors and its nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors. See “Risk Factor — As a “controlled company” under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, Raytech Holding may choose to exempt our company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on Raytech Holding’s public shareholders.

 

Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer

 

Raytech Holding is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are not directly or indirectly held by residents of the United States. Therefore, Raytech Holding is a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and Rule 3b-4(c) under the Exchange Act. As a result, Raytech Holding is not subject to the same requirements as U.S. domestic issuers. Under the Exchange Act, Raytech Holding will be subject to reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. For example:

 

  Raytech Holding is not required to provide as many Exchange Act reports or provide periodic and current reports as frequently, as a domestic public company;
     
  for interim reporting, Raytech Holding is permitted to comply solely with Raytech Holding’s home country requirements, which are less rigorous than the rules that apply to domestic public companies;
     
  Raytech Holding is not required to provide the same level of disclosure on certain issues, such as executive compensation;
     
  Raytech Holding is exempt from provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information;
     
  Raytech Holding is 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
     
  Raytech Holding is 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.

RISK FACTORS

 

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

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Changes in capital markets, merger and acquisition activity, legal or regulatory requirements, general economic conditions and monetary or geopolitical disruptions, as well as other factors beyond our control, could reduce demand for our products, in which case our revenues and profitability could decline.

 

Different factors outside of our control could affect demand for our products. These include:

 

  fluctuations in U.S. and/or global economies, including economic downturns or recessions and the strength and rate of any general economic recoveries;

 

  level of leverage incurred by countries or businesses;

 

  merger and acquisition activity;

 

  frequency and complexity of significant commercial litigation;

 

  over expansion by businesses causing financial difficulties;

 

  business and management crises, including the occurrence of alleged fraudulent or illegal activities and practices;

 

  new and complex laws and regulations, repeals of existing laws and regulations or changes of enforcement of laws, rules and regulations, including antitrust/competition reviews of proposed merger and acquisition transactions;

 

  other economic, geographic or political factors; and

 

  general business conditions.

 

We are not able to predict the positive or negative effects that future events or changes to the U.S. or global economies will have on our business. Fluctuations, changes and disruptions in financial, credit, merger and acquisition and other markets, political instability and general business factors could impact various segments’ operations and could affect such operations differently. Changes to factors described above, as well as other events, including by way of example, contractions of regional economies, or the economy of a particular country, trade restrictions, monetary systems, banking, real estate and retail or other industries; debt or credit difficulties or defaults by businesses or countries; new, repeals of or changes to laws and regulations, including changes to the bankruptcy and competition laws of the U.S. or other countries; tort reform; banking reform; a decline in the implementation or adoption of new laws or regulation, or in government enforcement, litigation or monetary damages or remedies that are sought; or political instability may have adverse effects on our business.

 

Our revenues, operating income and cash flows are likely to fluctuate.

 

We experience fluctuations in our revenues and cost structure and the resulting operating income and cash flows and expect that this will continue to occur in the future. We may experience fluctuations in our annual and quarterly financial results, including revenues, operating income and earnings per share, for reasons that may include: (i) the types and complexity, number, size, timing and duration of customer engagements; (ii) the timing of revenue recognition under U.S. GAAP; (iii) the utilization of revenue-generating professionals, including the ability to adjust staffing levels up or down to accommodate the business and prospects of the applicable segment and practice; (iv) the geographic locations of our customers or the locations where services are rendered; (v) billing rates and fee arrangements, including the opportunity and ability to successfully reach milestones and complete, and collect success fees and other outcome-contingent or performance-based fees; (vi) the length of billing and collection cycles and changes in amounts that may become uncollectible; (vii) changes in the frequency and complexity of government regulatory and enforcement activities; (viii) business and asset acquisitions; (ix) fluctuations in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar; (x) fee adjustments upon the renewal of expired service contracts or acceptance of new customers due to the adjusted scope per our refined business strategy; and (xi) economic factors beyond our control.

The results of our business operation may be affected differently by the above factors.  The positive effects of certain events or factors on our business may not be sufficient to overcome the negative effects of those same events or factors on other parts of our business.

 

Our results are subject to seasonal and other similar factors. While we assess our annual guidance at the end of each quarter and update such guidance when we think it is appropriate, unanticipated future volatility can cause actual results to vary significantly from our guidance, even where that guidance reflects a range of possible results and has been updated to take account of partial-year results.

 

We have a substantial customer concentration, with a limited number of customers accounting for a substantial portion of our revenues. 

 

We engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling products relating to home electric appliances. We derive a significant portion of our revenues from a few major customers. We currently have one major customer: Koizumi Seiki Corp., a Japanese company, having been doing business for over 300 years since 1716, which is one of the leading corporations specialized in small appliance market in Japan. The current contract we have with Koizumi Seiki Corp. was executed on July 1, 2014, automatically renewable on annual basis unless otherwise terminated by either party with a notice given at least six months prior to the expiration of then existing term of the contract. For the year ended March 31, 2023, sales to Koizumi Seiki Corp. represented 91.3% of our revenue. For the year ended March 31, 2022, sales to Koizumi Seiki Corp. represent 97.8% of our revenue. Inherent risks exist whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated with a limited number of customers. It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for the products of these customers in the marketplace or the future demand for our products and services by these customers. If any of these customers experience declining or delayed sales due to market, economic or competitive conditions, we could be pressured to reduce our prices or they could decrease the purchase quantity of our products, which could have an adverse effect on our margins and financial position, and could negatively affect our revenues and results of operations. If any of our major largest customers stop coming to us for customized products, such suspension would materially negatively affect our revenues, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We rely on a limited number of manufactures, some of which we are affiliated with. A loss of any of these manufactures could significantly negatively affect our business.

 

We rely on a limited number of manufacturers who are responsible for manufacturing hair care and skincare products. For the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we relied on two major manufacturers, (i) Zhongshan Raytech Electrical Appliances Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (“Zhongshan Raytech”), a factory located in Zhongshan, China, and is owned by Mr. Ching Tim Hoi, who is also our CEO, Chairman and controlling shareholder, and (ii) Zhongshan Leimi Electrical Appliances Company Limited (“Zhongshan Leimi”), a factory located in Zhongshan, China. The current contracts we have with Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi were executed on January 1, 2021, automatically renewable on annual basis unless otherwise terminated by either party with a notice given at least six months prior to the expiration of then existing term of the contract. Pursuant to each contract with Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi, we place orders with the manufacturer based on orders from our customers and the manufacturer is responsible to manufacture the products according to the requirements of each order. For the year ended March 31, 2023, payments to each of Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi accounted for 83.1% and 10.4%, respectively, of the total manufacturing costs of the Company. For the year ended March 31, 2022, payments to each of Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi accounted for 77.3% and 22.3%, respectively, of the total manufacturing costs of the Company.

 

We do not currently have other reliable alternatives or replacements for these manufacturers. This reliance on a limited number of manufactures increases our risks. If we experience a significant increase in demand of our products, or if we need to replace an existing manufacturer, we may not be able to supplement service or replace them on acceptable terms, which may undermine our ability to deliver products to our customers in a timely manner. Identifying and approving suitable manufacturers could be an extensive process that requires us to become satisfied with their quality control, technical capabilities, responsiveness and service, financial stability, regulatory compliance, and labor and other ethical practices. Accordingly, a loss of any significant manufacturer would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our manufacturers may face supply chain risks and constraints of their own, which may impact the availability and pricing of our products and delay for the deliveries of our products.

Risks associated with our major manufacturers in mainland China could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We relied on two major manufacturers, Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi, which are located in Zhongshan, mainland China. For the year ended March 31, 2023, payments to each of Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi accounted for 83.1% and 10.4%, respectively, of the total manufacturing costs of the Company. For the year ended March 31, 2022, payments to Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi accounted for 77.3% and 22.3%, respectively, of the total manufacturing costs of the Company. We depend on our ability to provide our customers with a wide range of products from our major manufacturers in a timely and efficient manner. Political and economic instability, global or regional adverse conditions, such as pandemics or other disease outbreaks or natural disasters, the financial stability of our manufacturers, our manufacturers’ ability to meet our standards, labor problems experienced by such manufacturers, the availability or cost of raw materials, merchandise quality issues, currency exchange rates, trade tariff developments, transport availability and cost, including import-related taxes, transport security, inflation, and other factors relating to our manufacturers are beyond our control. As an example, the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely impact such manufacturers facilities and operations due to extended holidays, factory closures and risks of labor shortages, among other things, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. As at the date of this prospectus, our two major manufacturers, Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi, have not experienced material impacts imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Further, we rely on our manufacturers’ representations of product quality, safety and compliance with applicable laws and standards. If our manufacturers or other vendors violate applicable laws, regulations, or implement practices regarded as unethical, unsafe, or hazardous to the environment, it could damage our reputation and negatively affect our operating results. Further, concerns regarding the safety and quality of products provided by our manufacturers could cause our customers to avoid purchasing those products from us. As such, any issue, or perceived issue, regarding the quality and safety of any items we sell, regardless of the cause, could adversely affect our reputation, operations and financial results.

 

We also are unable to predict whether our manufacturers in the future will be subject to new, different, or additional trade restrictions imposed by the PRC or foreign governments or the likelihood, type or effect of any such restrictions. Any event causing a disruption or delay of imports from manufacturers, including the imposition of additional export restrictions, restrictions on the transfer of funds or increased tariffs or quotas, could increase the cost or reduce the supply of products available to our customers and materially adversely affect our financial performance as well as our reputation. Furthermore, our manufacturers operations may be adversely affected by political and financial instability, resulting in the disruption of trade from exporting countries and regions, restrictions on the transfer of funds or other trade disruptions.

 

Additionally, the economy of mainland China differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the extent of government involvement, its level of development, its growth rate and its control over foreign exchange. In recent years, the government of mainland China has implemented measures emphasizing market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of sound corporate governance in business enterprises. However, a significant portion of productive assets in mainland China is still owned by the government of mainland China. The government of mainland China continues to play a significant role in regulating industrial development. It also exercises significant control over mainland China’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policies, restricting the inflow and outflow of foreign capital and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. The government of China also has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a China-based company, such as our manufactures, to conduct their business. Any adverse change in the economic conditions in mainland China, policies of the government or laws and regulations in mainland China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China and, in turn, on the business of our major manufactures in mainland China. As a result, we may lose our major manufacturers in mainland China, and we may not have other reliable alternatives or replacements for these manufacturers. A loss of any major manufacturer in mainland China would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and may cause Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value.

 

Inadequate or inaccurate external and internal information, including budget and planning data, could lead to inaccurate financial forecasts and inappropriate financial decisions.

 

Our financial forecasts are dependent on estimates and assumptions regarding budget and planning data, market growth, foreign exchange rates and our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to reinvest in the business, fund internal growth, and meet our debt obligations. Our financial projections are based on historical financial data and seasonal effect and on various other assumptions and foreseeable market trend that our management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and at the time they are made. However, if our external and internal information is inadequate, our actual results may differ materially from our forecasts and cause us to make inappropriate financial decisions. Any material variation between our financial forecasts and our actual results may also adversely affect our future profitability, stock price and stockholder confidence.

We may not manage our growth effectively, and our profitability may suffer.

 

We experience fluctuations in growth of our different product segments, including periods of rapid or declining growth. We have experience periods of steady expansion in the past 10 years. However, to manage growth successfully, we may need to add qualified managers and employees and periodically update our operating, financial and other systems, as well as our internal procedures and controls. We also must effectively motivate, train and manage our research and development staff. If we fail to add or retain qualified managers, employees and contractors when needed, estimate costs, or manage our growth effectively, our business, financial results and financial condition may suffer.

 

We cannot assure that we can successfully manage growth and being profitable as we grow. In periods of declining growth, underutilized employees and contractors may result in expenses and costs being a greater percentage of revenues. In such situations, we will have to weigh the benefits of decreasing our workforce or limiting our service offerings and saving costs against the detriment that we could experience from losing valued professionals and their industry expertise and customers.

 

Our reputation is crucial to our business. Any harm to our reputation or failure to enhance our brand recognition may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our reputation, which depends on earning and maintaining the trust and confidence of our current or potential customers, is critical to our business. Our reputation is vulnerable to many threats that can be difficult or impossible to control, and costly or impossible to remediate. Regulatory inquiries or investigations, lawsuits initiated by customers or other third parties, employee misconduct, perceptions of conflicts of interest and rumors, among other things, could substantially damage our reputation, even if they are baseless or satisfactorily addressed. Moreover, any negative media publicity about our industry in general or product or service quality problems of other firms in the industry, including our competitors, may also negatively impact our reputation and brand. If we are unable to maintain a good reputation or further enhance our brand recognition, our ability to attract and retain customers and key employees could be harmed and, as a result, our business and revenues would be materially and adversely affected.

  

We may not be able to grow at the historical rate of growth, and if we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

 

We anticipate significant continuing growth in the foreseeable future. However, past results of operations achieved by us should not be taken as indicative of our future prospects and results of operations, and we cannot assure you that we will grow at the historical rate of growth. Our rapid growth has placed, and will continue to place, a significant strain on our management, personnel, systems and resources. To accommodate our growth, we will need to implement a variety of new and upgraded operational and systems procedures and controls, including the improvement of our accounting and other internal management systems. We also will need to recruit, train, manage and motivate employees and manage our relationships with an increasing number of customers. Moreover, as we introduce new products or enter into new markets, we may face unfamiliar market and operational risks and challenges which we may fail to successfully address. We may be unable to manage our growth effectively, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

As a result, you should consider our future prospects in light of the risks and uncertainties experienced by early stage companies in a rapidly evolving and increasingly competitive market in Hong Kong.

   

If we fail to prevent security breaches, improper access to or disclosure of our data or user data, or other hacking and attacks, we may lose users, and our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 

We plan to have privacy and data security policies in place that are designed to prevent security breaches and we are looking for resources to assist us to develop our security measures against breaches. However, as newer technologies evolve, and the portfolio of the service providers with which the Company shares confidential information with grows, we could be exposed to increased risk of breaches in security and other illegal or fraudulent acts, including cyberattacks. The evolving nature of such threats, in light of new and sophisticated methods used by criminals and cyberterrorists, including computer viruses, malware, phishing, misrepresentation, social engineering and forgery, is making it increasingly challenging to anticipate and adequately mitigate these risks.

 

We are likely in the future to be subject to these types of attacks. If we are unable to avert these attacks and security breaches, we could be subject to significant legal and financial liabilities, our reputation would be harmed and we could sustain substantial revenue loss from lost sales and customer dissatisfaction. We may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent rapidly evolving types of cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks may target us, our manufacturers, customers or other participants, or the internet infrastructure on which we depend. Actual or anticipated attacks and risks may cause us to incur significantly higher costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and network protection technologies, train employees, and engage third-party experts and consultants. As we do not carry cybersecurity insurance, we will not be able to mitigate such risks to any third party. Cybersecurity breaches would not only harm our reputation and business, but also could materially decrease our revenue and net income.

We do not retain effective intellectual property rights.

 

We cannot make assurances that the steps we have taken or will take in the future to protect our intellectual property rights are or will be adequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary information or that we will be able to detect unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. As at the date of this prospectus, neither we nor Pure Beauty own any registered trademarks in any jurisdiction. We intend to register Pure Beauty’s trademarks in Hong Kong to secure trademark protection after seeking professional advice.  However, whilst registration will usually confirm ownership and subsistence of rights, some registrations can still be challenged due to prior existing rights. We cannot assure you that in the future our intellectual property rights registrations will be complete or invulnerable. 

 

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which may be expensive to defend and may disrupt our business and operations.

 

We cannot be certain that our operations or any aspects of our business do not or will not infringe upon or otherwise violate trademarks, copyrights, know-how or other intellectual property rights held by third parties. We may be from time to time in the future subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the intellectual property rights of others. In addition, there may be third-party trademarks, copyrights, know-how or other intellectual property rights that are infringed by our products, services or other aspects of our business without our awareness. Holders of such intellectual property rights may seek to enforce such rights against us in Hong Kong, the United States or other jurisdictions. If any third-party infringement claims are brought against us, we may be forced to divert some resources from our business and operations to defend against these claims, regardless of their merits.

 

Additionally, the application and interpretation of Hong Kong’s intellectual property rights laws and the procedures and standards for granting trademarks, copyrights, know-how or other intellectual property rights in Hong Kong are still evolving and are uncertain, and we cannot ensure that Hong Kong courts or regulatory authorities would agree with our analysis. If we were found to be in violation of the intellectual property rights of others, we may be subject to liability for our infringement activities or may be prohibited from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternatives of our own. As a result, our business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

 

As at the date of this prospectus, we have been using certain trademarks on Pure Beauty’s daily business operations which are currently registered in Japan and owned by Mr. Ching (the “Japan Pure Beauty Trademarks”). On August 1, 2021, a trademark license agreement was entered into between us and Mr. Ching (the “Japan Trademark License Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Ching agreed to irrevocably and unconditionally grant us, our subsidiaries and branches an exclusive license to use the Japan Pure Beauty Trademarks on a royalty-free basis, for 10 years commencing from the date of the Japan Trademark License Agreement. There is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully renew the Japan Trademark License Agreement upon expiration of its current term and that the same will not be revoked or early terminated by Mr. Ching. In the absence of a valid Japan Trademark License Agreement, the use of the Japan Pure Beauty Trademarks by us or Pure Beauty in Japan may subject us or Pure Beauty to trademark infringement claims, and we may be forced to divert some resources from our business and operations to defend against these claims, regardless of their merits. As a result, our business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Compromise of confidential or proprietary information could damage our reputation, harm our businesses and adversely impact our financial results.

 

Our own confidential and proprietary information and that of our customers could be compromised, whether intentionally or unintentionally, by our employees, consultants or manufacturers. A compromise of the security of our information technology systems leading to theft or misuse of our own or our customers’ proprietary or confidential information, or the public disclosure or use of such information by others, could result in losses, third-party claims against us and reputational harm, including the loss of customers. The theft or compromise of our or our customers’ information could negatively impact our reputation, financial results and prospects. In addition, if our reputation is damaged due to a data security breach, our ability to attract new engagements and customers may be impaired or we may be subjected to damages or penalties, which could negatively impact our businesses, financial results or financial condition.

 

Increases in labor costs in Hong Kong may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

The economy in Hong Kong has experienced increases in inflation and labor costs in recent years. As a result, average wages in Hong Kong are expected to continue to increase. In addition, we are required by Hong Kong laws and regulations to maintain various statutory employee benefits, including mandatory provident fund scheme and work-related injury insurance, to provide statutorily required paid sick leave, annual leave and maternity leave, and pay severance payments or long service payments. The relevant government agencies may examine whether an employer has complied with such requirements, and those employers who fail to comply commit a criminal offence and may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment. We expect that our labor costs, including wages and employee benefits, will continue to increase. Unless we are able to control our labor costs or pass on these increased labor costs to our users by increasing the fees of our services, our financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

Raytech Holding’s principal shareholders have substantial influence over Raytech Holding and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of Raytech Holding’s other shareholders.

 

Mr. Tim Hoi Ching is currently the beneficial owner of 12,800,000 Ordinary Shares or 80% of Raytech Holding’s outstanding Ordinary Shares. Mr. Ching will own approximately 67.4% of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares following the offering. Mr. Ching will be able to exert significant voting influence over Raytech Holding’s business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of Raytech Holding’s assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by Raytech Holding’s other shareholders, including those who purchased Ordinary Shares in Raytech Holding’s initial public offering. Moreover, this concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of Raytech Holding, which could deprive Raytech Holding’s shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of Raytech Holding and might reduce the price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares.

 

As a “controlled company” under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, Raytech Holding may choose to exempt it from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on its public shareholders.

 

Following this offering, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ching, will beneficially own an aggregate 67.4% voting power of the Company, which will allow Mr. Ching to determine all matters requiring approval by shareholders. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group, or another company is a “controlled company” and is permitted to phase in its compliance with the independent committee requirements. Although Raytech Holding does not currently intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules for at least one year after the initial public offering even if Raytech Holding is deemed a “controlled company,” Raytech Holding may elect to rely on these exemptions in the future. If Raytech Holding were to elect to rely on the “controlled company” exemptions, a majority of the members of its board of directors might not be independent directors and its nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, if Raytech Holding relies on the exemptions, during the period Raytech Holding remains a controlled company and during any transition period following a time when Raytech Holding is no longer a controlled company, you would not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

 

We face risks related to natural disasters, health epidemics and other outbreaks, which could significantly disrupt our operations.

 

We are vulnerable to natural disasters and other calamities. Fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, wars, riots, terrorist attacks or similar events may give rise to supply chain disruptions, shipment delays, manufacturing breakdowns, and demand shifts, which could cause adversely affect our ability to provide products and services to our customers. In addition, our results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that any health epidemic harms the Hong Kong economy in general. A prolonged outbreak of any illnesses or other adverse public health developments in Hong Kong or elsewhere in the world could have a material adverse effect on our business operations. Such outbreaks could severely disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our headquarter is located in Hong Kong, where our management and employees currently reside. Consequently, if any natural disasters, health epidemics or other public safety concerns were to affect Hong Kong or cause travel restriction in or out of Hong Kong or its surrounding areas, our operation may experience material disruptions, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. 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 the United States and other countries across the globe with significant disruption to financial markets. We do not have any operation or business in Russia or Ukraine, however, we may potentially be indirectly adversely impacted any significant disruption it has caused and may continue to escalate. Any one or more of these events may impede our operation and delivery efforts and adversely affect our sales results, or even for a prolonged period of time, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Although our business operations so far have not been materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19), there can be no assurance that our business operations will not be materially and adversely affected by the continuous effect of the COVID-19 pandemic in the future.

 

An outbreak of respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus, commonly referred as “COVID-19” emerged in late 2019 and has spread globally. COVID-19 is considered to be highly contagious and poses a serious threat to public health. The World Health Organization labeled the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic on March 11, 2020, given its threat beyond a public health emergency of international concern the organization had declared on January 30, 2020.

 

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations. Temporary closures of businesses have been ordered and numerous other businesses have temporarily closed voluntarily. These actions may continue to expand in scope, type and impact. These measures, while intended to protect human life, are expected to have significant adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration. It is likely that the current outbreak or continued spread of COVID-19 will cause an economic slowdown, which may result in a global recession. The effectiveness of economic stabilization efforts being taken to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak is currently uncertain.

 

31

 

 

A public health pandemic, including COVID-19, potentially poses the risk that the Company or its affiliates, employees, manufacturers, customers and others may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including as a result of shutdowns, travel restrictions and other actions that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. Such actions may prevent the Company from accessing the facilities of its customers to deliver products and provide services. In addition, our customers may choose to delay or abandon projects on which we provide products and/or services as a result of such actions.

 

Our sales are mainly derived from Pure Beauty’s operations in Hong Kong. The COVID-19 pandemic had in the past resulted in the temporary lockdown of neighborhoods, quarantine measures, travel restrictions, social distancing restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in Hong Kong. The negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Pure Beauty’s operations in Hong Kong included, have included, and may continue to include the following:

 

  Uncertain economic conditions, such as labor shortages or supply chain issues, may raise customers’ concerns and cause customers to refrain from engaging in Pure Beauty’s services.

 

  Quarantine measures impeded Pure Beauty’s ability to contact existing and new customers. Travel restrictions limited other parties’ ability to visit and meet in person. Although most communication could be achieved via video calls, this form of remote communication could be less effective in building trust and communicating with existing and new customers.

 

Although the Hong Kong government has revoked most if not all COVID-19 restrictions, it is difficult to anticipate whether COVID-19 restrictions will be reintroduced in the future. The effect of the revocation of COVID-19 restrictions by the Hong Kong government on Pure Beauty’s operation in Hong Kong remains uncertain.

 

Although the COVID-19 outbreak so far has not materially disrupted our business operations, there can be no assurance that it will not materially and adversely affect us, our employees, manufacturers, or customers in the future. For example, if a significant number of our employees, or employees and third parties performing key functions, including our CEO and members of our board of directors, become ill, our business may be further adversely impacted. In addition, we have modified our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, and manufacturers. Such modified business practices (including the extension of remote work arrangements) could pose challenges to our employees and increase operational risk, including cyber security and IT systems management risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. An increase in operational challenges could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, and results of operations.

 

Our liquidity could be negatively impacted if these conditions continue for a significant period of time and we may be required to pursue additional sources of financing to obtain working capital, maintain appropriate inventory levels and meet our financial obligations. Our ability to obtain any required financing is not guaranteed and largely dependent upon evolving market conditions and other factors. Depending on the continued impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, further actions may be required to improve our cash position and capital structure. We cannot assure you that we would be able to take any of these actions on terms that are favorable to us or at all, that these actions would be successful and permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations or satisfy our capital requirements, or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our existing or future debt agreements.

 

The current COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the manufacturing, logistic and delivery of our products in and from mainland China. Due to mainland China’s continuous efforts to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus, which may cause regional lockdowns in mainland China from time to time, the manufacturing of our products and the logistic and delivery of our products from the manufacturers to us and from us to our customers may be adversely affected, which may lead to overdue deliveries. In addition, our manufacturers may not timely receive their raw materials, parts and components, or other services needed for the manufacturing of our products due to the temporary travel restrictions and regional lockdowns in mainland China, which may further delay the manufacturing and logistics of our products. 

 

We may also experience impacts from market downturns and changes in demand for our products and services related to pandemic fears and impacts on our workforce as a result of COVID-19. Although we resumed our sales very soon after a slight sales drops at the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in late 2019 and early 2020 and our operations have not experienced material actual impacts by COVID-19, it is difficult to predict the possible effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business in the future, and there can be no assurance that the impact of COVID-19 will not adversely affect our results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows in the future. If the COVID-19 outbreak becomes more pronounced in our markets, or if another significant natural disaster or pandemic were to occur in the future, our operations in areas impacted by such events could experience further adverse financial impacts due to market changes and other resulting events and circumstances. The extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak impacts our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the longevity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

 

32

 

 

In addition, the effects of a subvariant of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, which may spread faster than the original Omicron variant, as well as the effects of any new variants and subvariants which may develop, including any actions taken by governments, may have the effect of slowing our sales in Hong Kong.

 

Furthermore, even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, we may experience impacts to our business as a result of the global economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, including any economic downturn or recession or other long-term effects that have occurred or may occur to us, our customers and manufacturers in the future.

 

Failure to comply with laws and regulations applicable to our business could subject us to fines and penalties and could also cause us to lose customers or otherwise harm our business.

 

Our business is subject to regulation by various governmental agencies in Hong Kong, including agencies responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with various legal obligations, such as intellectual property laws, employment and labor laws, workplace safety, governmental trade laws, import and export controls, anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, and tax laws and regulations. In certain jurisdictions, these regulatory requirements may be more stringent than in Hong Kong. These laws and regulations impose added costs on our business. Noncompliance with applicable regulations or requirements could subject us to:

 

  investigations, enforcement actions, and sanctions;

 

  mandatory changes to our network and products;

 

  disgorgement of profits, fines, and damages;

 

  civil and criminal penalties or injunctions;

 

  claims for damages by our customers or channel partners;

 

  termination of contracts;

 

  failure to obtain, maintain or renew certain licenses, approvals, permits, registrations or filings necessary to conduct our operations; and

 

  temporary or permanent debarment from sales to public service organizations.

 

If any governmental sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected. In addition, responding to any action will likely result in a significant diversion of our management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could materially harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

Any reviews by regulatory agencies or legislatures may result in substantial regulatory fines, changes to our business practices, and other penalties, which could negatively affect our business and results of operations. Changes in social, political, and regulatory conditions or in laws and policies governing a wide range of topics may cause us to change our business practices. Further, our expansion into a variety of new fields also could raise a number of new regulatory issues. These factors could negatively affect our business and results of operations in material ways.

 

Moreover, we are exposed to the risk of misconduct, errors and failure to functions by our management, employees and parties with whom we collaborate, who may from time to time be subject to litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings or otherwise face potential liability and penalties in relation to noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, which could harm our reputation and business.

Members of our management team may in the future be involved in governmental investigations and civil litigations relating to the business affairs of companies with which they are, were or may in the future be affiliated with.

 

Members of our management team may in the future be involved in governmental investigations and civil litigations relating to the business affairs of companies with which they are, were or may in the future be affiliated with. Any such investigations or litigations may divert our management team’s attention and resources away from managing our business affairs and operations, may be detrimental to our reputation, and thus may negatively affect our business and financial performance.

 

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

 

Recently, U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China, including Hong Kong, have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on Raytech Holding, its business and its stock price. Although substantially all of our operations are based in Hong Kong and none of our customers are based in mainland China, if Raytech Holding becomes the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend our company. This situation will be costly and time consuming and distract our management from growing our business.

 

If we fail to compete effectively, we may miss new business opportunities or lose existing customers, and our revenues and profitability may decline.

 

The market for some of our products is highly competitive. We do not compete against the same companies for all of our products and services or in all geographic regions. Instead, we compete with different companies or businesses of companies depending on the particular types of requested products and services and the location of the customer or delivery of the products and services. Our operations are highly competitive.

 

Our competitors include large organizations, such as the international personal care electronic design and development organizations, which offer niche products and services that are the same or similar to products or services offered by us; and small firms and independent contractors that focus on specialized products and services. Some of our competitors have significantly more financial resources, a larger national or international presence, larger professional staffs and greater brand recognition than we do. Some have lower overhead and other costs.

 

If we cannot compete effectively or if the costs of competing, including the costs of hiring and retaining professionals, become too expensive, our revenue growth and financial results could be negatively affected and may differ materially from our expectations.

 

If we are unable to rely on the services and connections of our key personnel, or retain the current key personnel, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Our growth has been heavily dependent on the services provided by our management team. They manage our business operation, develop and execute our business strategies and manage the relationship with our key product manufacturers and corporate customers. Therefore, our future success relies on our ability to retain the services of these key management personnel. If any of these key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue to provide services to us, and we are unable to find suitable replacements, we may not be able to continue our operations effectively and efficiently, and our business and financial conditions could be adversely affected.

 

Certain of our officers or directors may have actual or potential conflicts of interest because of their equity interests in or positions with Raytech Holdings Company Limited and Zhongshan Raytech.

 

Raytech Holding’s CEO and Chairman, Mr. Ching, and Raytech Holding’s director nominee and the Assistant to CEO of Pure Beauty, Mr. Ling, currently serve as, and will continue to serve as (i) Executive Director and Supervisor respectively of one of our collaborating manufacturers, Zhongshan Raytech, and (ii) Director and Assistant to CEO respectively of Raytech Holdings Company Limited, after the effectiveness of this registration statement. Mr. Ching’s positions at and ownership of Zhongshan Raytech and Raytech Holdings Company Limited, and Mr. Ling’s positions at Zhongshan Raytech and Raytech Holdings Company Limited, on which we rely for manufacturing collaboration, create, or may create the appearance of, conflicts of interest when these officers or directors are faced with decisions that could have different implications for Zhongshan Raytech and Raytech Holdings Company Limited than for us. These potential conflicts could arise, for example, over matters such as the desirability of changes in our business and operations, funding and capital matters, regulatory matters, and contractual arrangements.

Our employees may leave to form or join competitors, and we may not have, or may choose not to pursue, legal recourse against such professionals.

 

Our employees typically have close relationships with the customers they serve, based on their expertise and bonds of personal trust and confidence. Therefore, the barriers to our employees pursuing independent business opportunities or joining our competitors should be considered low. Although our customers generally contract for services with us as a company, and not with an individual employee, in the event that an employee leaves, such customers may decide that they prefer to continue working with a specific person rather than with us. In the event an employee departs and acts in a way that we believe violates his or her non-competition or non-solicitation agreement, we will consider any legal remedies we may have against such person on a case-by-case basis. We may decide that preserving cooperation and a professional relationship with a former employee or customer, or other concerns, outweighs the benefits of any possible legal recourse. We may also decide that the likelihood of success does not justify the costs of pursuing a legal remedy. Therefore, there may be times we may decide not to pursue legal action, even if it is available to us.

 

Our business and sales are subject to the business strategies of the brand owners.

 

For the years ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, all our revenue were attributed to sales of branded products sourced from brand owners by our long-term customers in Japan. Our business and sales are heavily dependent on the market receptiveness of, and demand for, the products being provided by various brand owners. The overall business strategies and product development plans adopted by these brand owners and their ability to maintain and develop the brands are therefore essential to our business.

 

As we have limited or no influence on the decisions made by the brand owners in relation to their business strategies, in particular, the production of their existing products and development of new products, we cannot assure that the brand owners will be able to maintain and further develop their brands and/or products, or that our customers will continue to show preferences to their brands and/or products. If the strategies of the brand owners turn out to be unsuccessful or due to any other reasons the marketability of the brands falls substantially, the profitability of our business would be materially and adversely affected.

 

We cannot assure that our products can meet consumer preferences and needs, and will continue to gain market acceptance and secure market share.

 

We sell and distribute a variety of beauty device products to the general public through our customers’ sales network. The general acceptance by consumers of the brands and products designed and provided by us is of vital importance to our success and it hinges on a number of factors such as brand image, product quality and customer loyalty. Our success also depends, to a large extent, on our ability to offer a diversified portfolio of products that can meet the changing consumer preferences and needs. There is no assurance that the existing products designed and provided by us will be able to satisfy changes in consumer preferences and needs.

 

We may also fail to anticipate, identify or respond to the constant changes in relation to consumer preferences and needs on a timely basis, nor can we assure that we will be able to gain or increase market receptiveness and market share for our products.

 

Consumer preferences and needs for products and brands can change from time to time for various reasons, including negative publicity regarding our products, emergence of competitive products and brands, or a general decrease in demand for the beauty device products distributed and sold us. Any of these events could adversely affect our competitive advantage and market share, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.

 

We rely on external manufacturers for production of all of our products.

 

We do not have any production facilities or production lines of our own. Our products are sourced from related and independent external manufacturers in mainland China. For the year ended March 31, 2023, payments to each of Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi accounted for 83.1% and 10.4%, respectively, of the total manufacturing costs of the Company. For the year ended March 31, 2022, two manufactures, Zhongshan Raytech and Zhongshan Leimi, account for 77.3% and 22.3% of our production, respectively. Thus, our control over these external manufacturers in respect of their production process and quality of products is limited. We cannot assure that (i) there will not be any unexpected interruption of supply of products by these external manufacturers due to any reason beyond our control or expectation, such as introduction of new regulatory requirements, import restrictions, revocation of business licenses, power interruptions, fires or other force majeure; or (ii) the products provided to us by these external manufacturers can meet our quality requirements. Any such problems in relation to the supply of our products by external manufacturers could have a material adverse impact on our business.

 

35

 

 

Our operating results may fluctuate due to seasonality and other factors.

 

Our sales are subject to certain degree of seasonal fluctuations. Generally, demand for our beauty device products is relatively higher during spring season from March to June. Sales may also fluctuate during the course of a financial year for a number of other reasons, including the timing of launching new products and advertising and promotional campaigns. As a result, these seasonal consumption patterns may cause our operating results to fluctuate from period to period.

 

We may be unable to maintain rapid growth and implement our future plans.

 

Our future business growth primarily depends on the successful implementation of our business objectives, business strategies and future plans. These business objectives are based on our existing plans and intentions, most of which are at initial stages and have not been proceeded to the stage of actual implementation and are therefore subject to high degree of risks and uncertainties. Furthermore, we may not be able to achieve the anticipated growth and expansion of our business due to factors which are beyond our control, such as changes in economic environment, market demands, government policies and relevant laws and regulations. As such, there is no assurance that our business objectives, business strategies and future plans will be accomplished, whether in whole or in part or be implemented within the estimated timeline. In the event that our future plans are not implemented and our business objectives are not accomplished, our business, profitability and financial positions in the future may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Furthermore, our future business plans may be hindered by other factors beyond our control, such as competition from other retailers and distributors selling similar products. Therefore, there is no assurance that our future business plans will materialize, or result in the conclusion or execution of any agreement within the planned time frame, or that our objectives will be fully or partially accomplished.

 

A severe or prolonged downturn in the Chinese or global economy could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

Any prolonged slowdown in the Chinese or global economy may have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. There is uncertainty over the global economic condition such as the trade war between the United States and China. There is considerable uncertainty over the long-term effects of the expansionary monetary and fiscal policies adopted by the central banks and financial authorities of some of the world’s leading economies, including the United States and China. There have also been concerns about the economic effect of the tensions in the relationship between China and surrounding Asian countries. Adverse economic conditions could also reduce the number of customers and interests in our services and products. Should any of these situations occur, our net revenues will decline, and our business and financial conditions will be negatively impacted. Additionally, continued turbulence in the international markets may adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.

 

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

 

Raytech Holding may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements it may have, and any limitation on the ability of Raytech Holding’s subsidiary to make payments to it could have a material adverse effect on Raytech Holding’s ability to conduct its business.

 

Raytech Holding is a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, and it may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by its subsidiary for its cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to Raytech Holding’s shareholders and service any debt it may incur. If any of Raytech Holding’s subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to Raytech Holding.

 

36

 

 

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 “Taxation — Hong Kong Profits Taxation” on page 115 of this prospectus. Any limitation on the ability of Raytech Holding’s Hong Kong subsidiary to pay dividends or make other distributions to Raytech Holding could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to Raytech Holding’s business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct its business.

 

Raytech Holding’s lack of effective internal controls over financial reporting may affect its ability to accurately report its financial results or prevent fraud, which may affect the market for and price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares.

 

To implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Prior to filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, Raytech Holding was a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources for addressing Raytech Holding’s internal control over financial reporting. Raytech Holding’s management has not completed an assessment of the effectiveness of Raytech Holding’s internal control over financial reporting and its independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of Raytech Holding’s internal control over financial reporting. However, in connection with the audits of Raytech Holding’s consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022 and 2023, Raytech Holding and its independent registered public accounting firm identified material weaknesses in Raytech Holding’s internal control over financial reporting as well as other control deficiencies for the above mentioned periods. As defined in the standards established by the PCAOB, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Raytech Holding’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified related to i) inadequate segregation of duties for certain key functions due to limited staff and resources; ii) a lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements to formalize key controls over financial reporting and to prepare consolidated financial statements and related disclosures; and iii) a lack of independent directors and an audit committee to establish formal risk assessment process and internal control framework.

 

Raytech Holding intends to implement measures designed to improve its internal control over financial reporting to address the underlying causes of these material weaknesses, including i) hiring more qualified staff to fill up the key roles in the operations; ii) setting up a financial and system control framework with formal documentation of polices and controls in place; and iii) appointing independent directors, establishing an audit committee and strengthening corporate governance. 

 

Raytech Holding will be subject to the requirement that it maintain internal controls and that management perform periodic evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls. Effective internal control over financial reporting is important to prevent fraud. As a result, Raytech Holding’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the market for and trading price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, may be materially and adversely affected if Raytech Holding does not have effective internal controls. Before this offering, Raytech Holding was a private company with limited resources. As a result, Raytech Holding may not discover any problems in a timely manner and current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in Raytech Holding’s financial reporting, which would harm Raytech Holding’s business and the trading price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. The absence of internal controls over financial reporting may inhibit investors from purchasing Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and may make it more difficult for Raytech Holding to raise funds in a debt or equity financing.

 

Additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may be identified in the future. If Raytech Holding identifies such issues or if Raytech Holding is unable to produce accurate and timely financial statements, its stock price may decline and it may be unable to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

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

 

Raytech Holding expects to qualify as a foreign private issuer upon the completion of this offering. As a foreign private issuer, Raytech Holding will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and Raytech Holding’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, Raytech Holding will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as United States domestic issuers, and it will not be required to disclose in its periodic reports all of the information that United States domestic issuers are required to disclose. While Raytech Holding currently expects to qualify as a foreign private issuer immediately following the completion of this offering, Raytech Holding may cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer in the future.

 

37

 

 

Raytech Holding is an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if Raytech Holding takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make it more difficult to compare Raytech Holding’s performance with other public companies.

 

Raytech Holding is 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 election to opt out is irrevocable. Raytech Holding has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for public or private companies, Raytech Holding, 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 Raytech Holding’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used. If some investors find Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and Raytech Holding’s share price may be more volatile.

 

Raytech Holding will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company, particularly after Raytech Holding ceases to qualify as an “emerging growth company.”

 

Upon consummation of this offering, Raytech Holding will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public company that Raytech Holding did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies. Raytech Holding is 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 Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior fiscal year end, and (2) the date on which Raytech Holding has 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 Raytech Holding’s legal and financial compliance costs and makes some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. After Raytech Holding is no longer an “emerging growth company,” or until five years following the completion of Raytech Holding’s initial public offering, whichever is earlier, Raytech Holding expects 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, Raytech Holding has been required to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. Raytech Holding has incurred additional costs in obtaining director and officer liability insurance. In addition, Raytech Holding incurs additional costs associated with its public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for Raytech Holding to find qualified persons to serve on its board of directors or as executive officers. Raytech Holding is currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and Raytech Holding cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 

38

 

 

Raytech Holding’s board of directors may decline to register transfers of Ordinary Shares in certain circumstances. 

 

Raytech Holding’s board of directors may, in its sole discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share which is not fully paid up or on which Raytech Holding has a lien. Raytech Holding’s directors may also decline to register any transfer of any share unless (i) the instrument of transfer is lodged with Raytech Holding, accompanied by the certificate for the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as Raytech Holding’s board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer; (ii) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares; (iii) the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required; (iv) in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the share is to be transferred does not exceed four; (v) the shares conceded are free of any lien in favor of Raytech Holding; or (vi) a fee of such maximum sum as Nasdaq Capital Market may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as Raytech Holding’s board of directors may from time to time require, is paid to Raytech Holding in respect thereof. 

 

If Raytech Holding’s directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within one month after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal. The registration of transfers may, on 14 days’ notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers or by electronic means, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as Raytech Holding’s board of directors may from time to time determine, provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 days in any year.

 

Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong

 

All of Pure Beauty’s operations are in Hong Kong.  However, due to the long arm provisions under the current laws and regulations of mainland China, the government of mainland China may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. The government of mainland China may also intervene or impose restrictions on Raytech Holding’s ability to move money out of Hong Kong to distribute earnings and pay dividends or to reinvest in our business outside of Hong Kong. Changes in the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the government of mainland China may also be quick with little advance notice and our assertions and beliefs of the risk imposed by the legal and regulatory system of mainland China cannot be certain.

 

We are not based in mainland China and do not have operations in mainland China except that our manufacturers are located in mainland China. We currently do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary in mainland China, or do not foresee the need to enter into any contractual arrangements with a VIE to establish a VIE structure in mainland China. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, and 2022, we generated all our revenues from Hong Kong. As advised by our PRC counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, as of the date of this prospectus, on the basis that (i) we currently do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China, and we do not have any business operations in mainland China, except that we collaborate with manufacturers located in mainland China to manufacture our products, (iii) none of our and our subsidiary’s clients are located in mainland China, and (iv) we and our subsidiary possess personal information of less than 1 million individuals in the PRC (for the purpose of this subsection (iv), including the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau and Taiwan), and do not possess any core data or important data of the PRC or any information which affects or may affect national security of the PRC, we do not expect to be materially affected by recent statements by the government of mainland China indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in mainland China-based issuers. However, due to long arm provisions under the current laws and regulations of mainland China, there remains regulatory uncertainty with respect to the implementation and interpretation of laws and regulations in mainland China.

 

Pursuant to the Basic Law, which is a national law of the PRC and the constitutional document for Hong Kong, national laws of the PRC shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. The Basic Law expressly provides that the national laws of the PRC which may be listed in Annex III of the Basic Law shall be confined to those relating to defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the autonomy of Hong Kong. The basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong as a special administrative region of the PRC are reflected in the Basic Law, 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”.

 

However, as the government of mainland China may choose to exercise significant oversight and discretion, and the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the government of mainland China to which we are subject may change rapidly and with little advance notice to us or our shareholders. As a result, the application, interpretation, and enforcement of new and existing laws and regulations in mainland China are often uncertain. In addition, these laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied inconsistently by different agencies or authorities, and may be inconsistent with our current policies and practices. New laws, regulations, and other government directives in mainland China may also be costly to comply with, and such compliance or any associated inquiries or investigations or any other government actions may:

 

  delay or impede our development;

 

  result in negative publicity or increase our operating costs;

 

39

 

 

  require significant management time and attention; and/or

 

  subject us to remedies, administrative penalties and even criminal liabilities that may harm our business, including fines assessed for our current or historical operations, or demands or orders that we modify or even cease our business practices.

  

We are aware that recently, the government of mainland China initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in mainland China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over mainland China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange.

 

The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations at any time or may exert control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in Hong Kong-based issuers, which may result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. For example, there is currently no restriction or limitation under the laws of Hong Kong on the conversion of HK dollar into foreign currencies and the transfer of currencies out of Hong Kong and the laws and regulations of the PRC on currency conversion control do not currently have any material impact on the transfer of cash between Raytech Holding, the ultimate holding company, and Pure Beauty, the wholly-owned operating subsidiary in Hong Kong. However, the PRC government may, in the future, impose restrictions or limitations on our ability to move 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 outside of Hong Kong and may affect our ability to receive funds from Pure Beauty. 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 products and 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 Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, potentially rendering it worthless.

  

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 Hong Kong subsidiary.

 

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 or overseas force to endanger national security — and their corresponding penalties. On July 14, 2020, the former U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act (the “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 former and current HKSAR chief executives Carrie Lam and John Lee. 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 subsidiary is determined to be in violation of the Hong Kong National Security Law or the HKAA by competent authorities, our business operations, financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, which may result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. Additionally, the governmental and regulatory interference could significantly limit or completely hinder Raytech Holding’s ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

 

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

 

Substantially all our operations are based in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business operations and financial condition will be affected by the political and legal developments in Hong Kong. During the period covered by the financial information included in this prospectus, we derive substantially all of our revenue from operations in Hong Kong. Any adverse economic, social and/or political conditions, material social unrest, strike, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters, may adversely affect our business operations. 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, 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 a substantial part of our operations is 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 position.

 

If the PRC attempts to alter its agreement to allow Hong Kong to function autonomously, this could potentially impact Hong Kong’s common law legal system and may in turn bring about uncertainty in, for example, the enforcement of our contractual rights. This could, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Hong Kong may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our customers.

 

Under the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of PRC, Hong Kong is exclusively in charge of its internal affairs and external relations, while the government of the PRC is responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. As a separate customs territory, Hong Kong maintains and develops relations with foreign states and regions. Based on certain recent developments including the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region issued by the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress in June 2020, the U.S. State Department has indicated that the United States no longer considers Hong Kong to have significant autonomy from China and President Trump signed an executive order and the HKAA to remove Hong Kong’s preferential trade status and to authorize 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. The United States may impose the same tariffs and other trade restrictions on exports from Hong Kong that it places on goods from mainland China. These and other recent actions may represent an escalation in political and trade tensions involving the U.S, mainland China and Hong Kong, which could potentially harm our business.

Our revenue is susceptible to the ongoing incidents or factors which affect the stability of the social, economic and political conditions in Hong Kong. Any drastic events may adversely affect our business operations. Such adverse events may include changes in economic conditions and regulatory environment, social and/or political conditions, civil disturbance or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters. Given the relatively small geographical size of Hong Kong, any of such incidents may have a widespread effect on our business operations, which could in turn adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the HKAA on Hong Kong and companies with operations in Hong Kong like us. Furthermore, legislative or administrative actions in respect of China-U.S. relations could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including Raytech Holding, and the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected.

 

There remain some uncertainties as to whether we will be required to obtain approvals from mainland China and Hong Kong authorities to list Raytech Holding’s securities on the U.S. exchanges and offer securities in the future, and if required, we cannot assure you that Raytech Holding will be able to obtain such approval. 

 

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”), adopted by six regulatory agencies of mainland China in 2006 and amended in 2009, requires an overseas special purpose vehicle formed for listing purposes through acquisitions of mainland China-based companies and controlled by mainland China-based companies or individuals to obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange.

 

We are also aware that recently, the government of mainland China initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in mainland China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over mainland China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. 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, the CAC and other PRC authorities promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which took effect on February 15, 2022. In addition, the Cybersecurity Law, which was adopted by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on November 7, 2016 and came into force on June 1, 2017, and the Cybersecurity Review Measures, or the “Review Measures”, provide that personal information and important data collected and generated by a critical information infrastructure operator, or a “CIIO”, in the course of its operations in mainland China must be stored in mainland China, and if a CIIO purchases internet products and services that affect or may affect national security, it should be subject to national security review by the CAC together with competent departments of the State Council. On November 14, 2021, CAC published the Regulations on the Network Data Security Administration Draft, or the “Data Security Regulations Draft”, to solicit public opinion and comments. Under the Data Security Regulations Draft, an overseas initial public offering to be conducted by a data processor processing the personal information of more than one million individuals shall apply for a cybersecurity review. Data processor means an individual or organization that independently makes decisions on the purpose and manner of processing in data processing activities, and data processing activities refers to activities such as the collection, retention, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure, or deletion of data.

 

42

 

 

Currently we do not expect the Review Measures to have an impact on the business and operations of Raytech Holding’s Hong Kong subsidiary, Pure Beauty, or this offering, because (i) Pure Beauty is incorporated and operating in Hong Kong without any subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China, and it is unclear whether the Review Measures shall be applied to a Hong Kong company; (ii) as of the date of this prospectus, Pure Beauty has not collected and stored personal information of any individual customers of mainland China and possesses personal information of less than 1 million individuals in the PRC (for the purpose of this subsection (ii), including the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau and Taiwan), and do not possess any core data or important data of the PRC or any information which affects or may affect national security of the PRC; and (iii) as of the date of this prospectus, Pure Beauty has not been informed by any governmental authority of mainland China of any requirement that it file for a cybersecurity review for the offering. Based on the foregoing and the advice of Raytech Holding’s PRC legal counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, as of the date of this prospectus, we believe Pure Beauty is not required to pass the cybersecurity review of the CAC in order to list Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the U.S. Nonetheless, if the authorized PRC regulatory body subsequently determines that we are required to go through such cybersecurity review or if any other PRC government authorities promulgate any interpretation or implementation rules before Raytech Holding’s listing that would require us to go through a cybersecurity review for this offering, we may fail to complete such cybersecurity review procedures in a timely manner, or at all. Any failure or delay in the completion of the cybersecurity review procedures or any other non-compliance with the related laws and regulations may result in fines or other penalties, reputational damage as well as legal proceedings or actions against us, which may have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

   

In addition, on December 24, 2021, the CSRC issued the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises (the “Draft Administrative Provisions”) and the Measures for the Overseas Issuance of Securities and Listing Record-Filings by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Filing Measures”), collectively, the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listings. The Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing aim to lay out the filing regulation arrangement for both direct and indirect overseas listing by mainland China-based companies and clarify the determination criteria for indirect overseas listing in overseas markets. According to the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, among other things, after making initial applications with overseas stock markets for initial public offerings or listings, all mainland China-based companies shall file with the CSRC within three working days.

 

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Overseas Listing Trial Measures and relevant five guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023. The Overseas Listing Trial Measures comprehensively improve and reform the existing regulatory regime for overseas offering and listing of PRC domestic companies’ securities and will regulate both direct and indirect overseas offering and listing of mainland China-based companies’ securities by adopting a filing-based regulatory regime.

 

According to the Overseas Listing Trial Measures, mainland China-based companies that seek to offer and list securities in overseas markets, either in direct or indirect means, are required to fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC and report relevant information. The Overseas Listing Trial Measures provides that an overseas listing or offering is explicitly prohibited, if any of the following: (i) such securities offering and listing is explicitly prohibited by provisions in laws, administrative regulations and relevant state rules; (ii) the intended securities offering and listing may endanger national security as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with law; (iii) the domestic company intending to make the securities offering and listing, or its controlling shareholder(s) and the actual controller, have committed relevant crimes such as corruption, bribery, embezzlement, misappropriation of property or undermining the order of the socialist market economy during the latest three years; (iv) the domestic company intending to make the securities offering and listing is currently under investigations for suspicion of criminal offenses or major violations of laws and regulations, and no conclusion has yet been made thereof; or (v) there are material ownership disputes over equity held by the domestic company’s controlling shareholder(s) or by other shareholder(s) that are controlled by the controlling shareholder(s) and/or actual controller.

 

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

 

As advised by Raytech Holding’s PRC Counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, based on the facts that (i) we do not operate any PRC entities and the operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year is not accounted for by domestic companies of its business operations in mainland China; and (ii) our major operational activities are carried out outside mainland China, our main place(s) of business is outside mainland China and our senior management team in charge of our operation and management are not PRC citizens or have their usual places of residence located outside mainland China,  we believe that, we are currently not required to complete the filing procedure with the CSRC or to obtain regulatory approval from the CSRC before Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares can be listed in the U.S. However, as the Overseas Listing Trial Measures were newly promulgated and there exists uncertainty with respect to its interpretation, application and enforcement, if we are required to complete the filing procedures with the CSRC in connection with this offering, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete such filings in a timely manner, or at all, in the future. Any failure by us to comply with such filing could impact our operations materially and adversely, subject us to order to rectify, warnings and fines, and significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

 

43

 

 

As advised by Raytech Holding’s PRC counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, as of the date of this prospectus, on the basis that (i) we currently do not have or intend to set up any subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China, (ii) we do not have any business operations in mainland China, except that we collaborate with manufacturers located in mainland China to manufacture the products, (iii) none of our clients are located in mainland China, and (iv) we possess personal information of less than 1 million individuals in the PRC (for the purpose of this subsection (iv), including the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau and Taiwan), and do not possess any core data or important data of the PRC or any information which affects or may affect national security of the PRC, we believe, we are currently not required to obtain any permission or approval from the CAC, or other governmental authorities of mainland China to operate our business or to list Raytech Holding’s securities on the U.S. exchanges and to issue securities to foreign investors, nor have we been denied of any permissions or approvals from the authorities of mainland China. Furthermore, Han Kun Law Offices LLP, Raytech Holding’s Hong Kong counsel, has advised Raytech Holding that, as of the date of this prospectus, Raytech Holding is not required to obtain any permission or approval from the governmental authorities of Hong Kong to list on the U.S. exchanges and offer securities and we have obtained all necessary licenses, permissions or approvals including the business registration certificate from the governmental authorities of Hong Kong to operate our business and to the best of our knowledge, no license, permission or approval has been denied.

 

However, if we (i) do not receive or maintain such permission or approval, should the permission or approval be required in the future by the government of mainland China or Hong Kong, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permission or approval is not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain such permission or approval in the future, we may be unable to obtain such permissions or approvals in a timely manner, or at all, and may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC, the CAC or other PRC or Hong Kong regulatory authorities if we fail to fully comply with any new regulatory requirements. Consequently, our operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected, and Raytech Holding’s ability to offer securities to investors could be significantly limited or completely hindered and the securities currently being offered may substantially decline in value and become worthless.

 

We are aware that recently, the government of mainland China initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in mainland China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over mainland China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Nevertheless, since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon the legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any. It is also highly uncertain what potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on Pure Beauty’s daily business operations, Raytech Holding’s ability to accept foreign investments and the listing of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares on a U.S. or other foreign exchanges. If there is significant change to current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong, the PRC government intervenes or influences operations of companies operated in Hong Kong like us, or exerts more control through change of laws and regulations over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers like Raytech Holding, it may result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities Raytech Holding is registering for sale or could significantly limit or completely hinder Raytech Holding’s ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless.  

 

Rules for cross-border provision and examination of auditing records and other materials in connection with overseas securities issuance and listing was released and became effective by the CSRC The government of mainland China may impose more stringent requirement for domestic Chinese companies to share business and accounting records with foreign auditing firms and other securities service institutions, which could significantly limit or completely hinder Raytech Holding’s ability to offer or continue to offer its Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless.

 

On April 2, 2022, the CSRC, in conjunction with the Ministry of Finance, the National Administration of State Secret Protection and the National Archives Administration, issued the Regulations on Enhancing Confidentiality and File Management in Relation to Overseas Securities Issuance and Listing by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments, the “Draft Regulations”), an amendment to the original regulation of the same name published in 2009. The Draft Regulations extend the scope of application of the regulations to indirectly listed enterprises, and expand the definition of “domestic enterprises” to encompass domestic corporations directly listed on overseas exchanges as well as the domestic operating subsidiaries of indirectly listed companies. The Draft Regulations requires that, before providing or publicly disclosing documents and materials involving state secrets or government work secrets to security brokers, security service providers, or overseas regulators, the domestic enterprises shall seek approval from the relevant government regulators, and make filings with the local secret protection regulators at the same government level.

 

44

 

 

The Draft Regulations expand the scope of the regulations from “state secrets” to “state secrets and work secrets of government agencies”. However, the Draft Regulations do not define the scope of such secrets, but merely state that “in case where it is unclear or disputed as to whether state secrets are involved, the issue shall be submitted to the relevant secret protection regulator for determination; in case where it is unclear or disputed as to whether government work secrets are involved, the issue shall be submitted to the relevant government regulator for determination.”

 

The Draft Regulations mandates that domestic enterprises need to follow the prescribed procedures before furnishing “accounting records or copies of accounting records of significant state or societal storage value” to relevant security brokers, security service providers, and overseas regulators. If it is necessary to transmit such materials of significance out of mainland China, the relevant enterprises need to follow the prescribed procedures for advance approval. Similarly, if an overseas accounting firm intends to provide auditing work on a domestic enterprise seeking overseas listing, the accounting firm shall follow the prescribed procedures under the relevant state laws and regulations. A domestic enterprise shall not provide accounting records to an overseas accounting firm or network who has not satisfied the prescribed procedures.

 

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, Ministry of Finance of the PRC, National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China promulgated the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Archives Rules, which took effect on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Archives Rules, domestic companies that seek for overseas offering and listing shall strictly abide by applicable laws and regulations of the PRC and the Archives Rules, enhance legal awareness of keeping state secrets and strengthening archives administration, institute a sound confidentiality and archives administration system, and take necessary measures to fulfill confidentiality and archives administration obligations. Such domestic companies shall not leak any state secret and working secret of government agencies, or harm national security and public interest. Furthermore, a domestic company that plans to, either directly or through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals or entities including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators, any document and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, shall first obtain approval from competent authorities according to law, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level. Moreover, a domestic company that plans to, either directly or through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals and entities including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators, any other documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable national regulations. The Archives Rules also stipulate that a domestic company that provides accounting archives or copies of accounting archives to any entities including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators and individuals shall fulfill due procedures in compliance with applicable national regulations. As we are not domestic companies, and do not plan to leak any state secret and working secret of government agencies, or harm national security or public interest in connection with provision of documents, materials and accounting archives, we believe we may not be required to obtain relevant approval or file with the secrecy administrative department in accordance with the Archives Rules with respect to the offering. However, as the Archives Rules was newly published, there are substantial uncertainties as to the implementation and interpretation, if we are required to perform additional procedures in connection with the provision of accounting archives or other documents, we cannot assure you that we will be able to fulfill such procedures in a timely manner, or even at all. Any failure by us to comply with the Archives Rules may materially adversely affected, our ability to offer securities to investors to become significantly limited or completely hindered.

 

On August 26, 2022, a Statement of Protocol was signed by the PCAOB, the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Statement of Protocol, the PCAOB conducted inspections on select registered public accounting firms subject to the Determination Report in Hong Kong between September and November 2022. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB board announced that it has completed the inspections, determined that it had complete access to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, and voted to vacate the Determination Report. On December 29, 2022, the CAA was signed into law by President Biden. The CAA contained, among other things, an identical provision to the AHFCAA, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two. 

 

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any approval or authorization from relevant secret protection regulator or other government authorities in a timely manner, or any such approval or authorization can be obtained at all and if we are required to obtain any approval or authorization. Failure to obtain the necessary approvals or complete the required filings in a timely manner may result in the failure to complete the listing or subject us to fines, penalties or other sanctions, which may have a significant adverse impact on our financial position and operations.

 

In addition, the Archives Rules take into account the international practice of cross-border audit regulatory co-operation and requires that “on-site inspections should be conducted mainly by CSRC and Chinese regulators, or rely on the inspection results of Chinese regulators” stated in the Regulations on Enhancing Confidentiality and File Management in Relation to Overseas Securities Issuance and Listing published in 2009. The Archives Rules make it clear that the CSRC or Chinese regulators shall provide necessary support through multilateral or bilateral cooperation mechanism for cross-border investigation and examination carried out by overseas securities administrative authorities and regulators on mainland China enterprises seeking overseas listings and security brokers or security service providers providing securities services for such domestic enterprises in respect of their activities relating to such overseas issuance and listings. However, there is no existing tried-and-proved mechanisms for cross-border regulatory cooperation, and it is difficult to carry out shareholder claims or regulatory investigations in mainland China similar to those in the United States, due to various legal and practical problems.

 

45

 

 

Although we do not believe that we are currently prohibited from providing its accounting records to our auditor or that we or our auditor would be required to go through any prescribed procedures for approval under current laws and regulations of mainland China, we may be subject to additional compliance requirements in the future. Since the Archive Rules are newly promulgated, and the interpretation and implementation are not very clear, we cannot assure you that we will be able to receive clearance of such regulatory requirements in a timely manner, or at all, in the future. If the CSRC, the state secret protection regulator or any other relevant government regulator require that we obtain approval or complete relevant procedure prior to the completion of this offering, the offering will be delayed until we have obtained such approval or completed such procedure. There is also the possibility that we may not be able to obtain or maintain such approval, complete such procedure or that we inadvertently concluded that such approval or procedure was not required. If prior approval or procedure was required while we inadvertently concluded that such approval or procedure was not required or if applicable laws and regulations or the interpretation of such were modified to require us to obtain such approval or procedure in the future, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other regulatory authorities of mainland China.  Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder Raytech Holding’s ability to offer or continue to offer the Ordinary Shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, severely damage our reputation, materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, and cause the Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

 

It may be difficult for overseas shareholders and/or regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within mainland China.

 

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigations that are common in the United States generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in mainland China. For example, in mainland China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside mainland China. Although the authorities in mainland China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanisms. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law of mainland China of the PRC, or Article 177, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the mainland China. 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 mainland China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests. 

 

Our principal business operation is conducted in Hong Kong. In the event that the U.S. regulators carry out investigation on Raytech Holding and there is a need to conduct investigation or collect evidence within the territory of the mainland China, the U.S. regulators may not be able to carry out such investigation or evidence collection directly in mainland China under the laws and regulations of mainland China. The U.S. regulators may consider cross-border cooperation with securities regulatory authority of mainland China by way of judicial assistance, diplomatic channels or regulatory cooperation mechanism established with the securities regulatory authority of mainland China.

 

You may incur additional costs and procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against Raytech Holding or its management named in the prospectus based on Hong Kong laws.

 

Currently, all of our operations are conducted outside the United States, and all of our assets are located outside the United States. All of Raytech Holding’s directors and officers are Hong Kong nationals or residents and a substantial portion of their assets are located in Hong Kong. You may incur additional costs and procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against Raytech Holding or its management named in the prospectus, as judgments entered in the United States can be enforced in Hong Kong only at common law.  If you want to enforce a judgment of the United States in Hong Kong, it must be a final judgment conclusive upon the merits of the claim, 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. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong, see “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” beginning on page 56 of this prospectus.

 

We may be affected by the currency peg system in Hong Kong.

 

Since 1983, Hong Kong dollars have been pegged to the U.S. dollars at the rate of approximately HK$7.80 to US$1.00. We cannot assure you that this policy will not be changed in the future. If the pegging system collapses and Hong Kong dollars suffer devaluation, the Hong Kong dollar cost of our expenditures denominated in foreign currency may increase. This would in turn adversely affect the operations and profitability of our business.

Risks Related to Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and This Offering

 

There has been no public market for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares prior to this offering and the sales of our Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders pursuant to the Resale Prospectus filed contemporaneously herewith, and if an active trading market does not develop you may not be able to resell Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares at or above the price you paid, or at all.

 

Prior to this public offering and the sales of our Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders pursuant to the Resale Prospectus filed contemporaneously herewith, there has been no public market for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. Raytech Holding expects to apply for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There is no guarantee that Raytech Holding’s application will be approved by the Nasdaq Capital Market. If an active trading market for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares does not develop after this offering and the sales of our Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders pursuant to the Resale Prospectus filed contemporaneously herewith, the market price and liquidity of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares will be materially adversely affected. 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.

 

Although the audit report included in this prospectus is prepared by U.S. auditors who are subject to PCAOB inspections on a regular basis, there is no guarantee that future audit reports will be prepared by auditors inspected by the PCAOB and, as such, in the future investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. Furthermore, trading in Raytech Holding’s securities may be prohibited under the HFCA Act if the SEC subsequently determines Raytech Holding’s audit work is performed by auditors that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely, and as a result, U.S. national securities exchanges, such as the Nasdaq, may determine to delist Raytech Holding’s securities. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the AHFCAA, 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 for triggering the prohibition on trading.

 

As an auditor of companies that are registered with the SEC and publicly traded in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, Raytech Holding’s auditor is required under the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess their compliance with the laws of the United States and professional standards. The PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the PRC government authorities. Raytech Holding’s U.S. auditor is subject to PCAOB inspections on a regular basis, and we have no operations in mainland China. However, if there is significant change to current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong, companies operated in Hong Kong like us may face similar regulatory risks as those operated in mainland China and we cannot assure you that Raytech Holding’s auditor’s work will continue to be able to be inspected by the PCAOB.

As part of a continued regulatory focus in the United States on access to audit and other information currently protected by national law, in particular mainland China’s, in June 2019, a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced bills in both houses of the U.S. Congress which, if passed, would require the SEC to maintain a list of issuers for which PCAOB is not able to inspect or investigate the audit work performed by a foreign public accounting firm completely. The proposed Ensuring Quality Information and Transparency for Abroad-Based Listings on our Exchanges (“EQUITABLE”) Act prescribes increased disclosure requirements for these issuers and, beginning in 2025, the delisting from U.S. national securities exchanges such as the Nasdaq of issuers included on the SEC’s list for three consecutive years, thus reducing the time period for triggering the prohibition on trading. It is unclear if this proposed legislation will be enacted. Furthermore, there have been recent deliberations within the U.S. government regarding potentially limiting or restricting China-based companies from accessing U.S. capital markets. On May 20, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed the HFCA Act, which includes requirements for the SEC to identify issuers whose audit work is performed by auditors that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a restriction imposed by a non-U.S. authority in the auditor’s local jurisdiction. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the HFCA Act on December 2, 2020, and the HFCA Act was signed into law on December 18, 2020. Additionally, in July 2020, the U.S. President’s Working Group on Financial Markets issued recommendations for actions that can be taken by the executive branch, the SEC, the PCAOB or other federal agencies and department with respect to Chinese companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges and their audit firms, in an effort to protect investors in the United States. In response, on November 23, 2020, the SEC issued guidance highlighting certain risks (and their implications to U.S. investors) associated with investments in China-based issuers and summarizing enhanced disclosures the SEC recommends China-based issuers make regarding such risks. On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCA Act. Raytech Holding will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies Raytech Holding as having a “non-inspection” year (as defined in the interim final rules) under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCA Act, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above. Under the HFCA Act, Raytech Holding’s securities may be prohibited from trading on the Nasdaq or other U.S. stock exchanges if Raytech Holding’s auditor is not inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, and this ultimately could result in Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares being delisted. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the AHFCAA, 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 for triggering the prohibition on trading. On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the AHFCAA, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the AHFCAA, whether the Board 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 November 5, 2021, the SEC approved the PCAOB’s Rule 6100, Board Determinations Under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. Rule 6100 provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the AHFCAA, 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, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the AHFCAA. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. On December 16, 2021, the SEC announced that the PCAOB designated mainland China and Hong Kong as the jurisdictions where the PCAOB is not allowed to conduct full and complete audit inspections as mandated under the HFCA Act. On August 26, 2022, a Statement of Protocol was signed by the PCAOB, the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Statement of Protocol, the PCAOB conducted inspections on select registered public accounting firms subject to the Determination Report in Hong Kong between September and November 2022. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB board announced that it has completed the inspections, determined that it had complete access to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, and voted to vacate the Determination Report. On December 29, 2022, the CAA was signed into law by President Biden. The CAA contained, among other things, an identical provision to the AHFCAA, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two. Raytech Holding’s auditor is based in the United States, and therefore is not currently subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the future, if there is any regulatory change or step taken by PRC regulators that does not permit WWC, P.C. to provide audit work papers located in mainland China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation, or the PCAOB re-evaluates its determination as a result of any obstruction with the implementation of the Statement of Protocol in the future, the trading in Raytech Holding’s securities may be prohibited under the HFCA Act, ultimately resulting in a determination by a securities exchange to delist our securities. Delisting of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares would force holders of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to sell their Ordinary Shares. The market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected as a result of anticipated negative impacts of these executive or legislative actions upon, regardless of whether these executive or legislative actions are implemented and regardless of our actual operating performance.

 

The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the AHFCAA, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above. Future developments in respect of increasing U.S. regulatory access to audit information are uncertain, as the legislative developments are subject to the legislative process and the regulatory developments are subject to the rule-making process and other administrative procedures.

The recent joint statement by the SEC, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and an act passed by the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering, business operations, share price and reputation.

 

U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China (including in Hong Kong) have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered on financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective internal controls over financial reporting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud.

 

On December 7, 2018, the SEC and the PCAOB issued a joint statement highlighting continued challenges faced by the U.S. regulators in their oversight of financial statement audits of U.S.-listed companies with significant operations in China. On April 21, 2020, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and PCAOB Chairman William D. Duhnke III, along with other senior SEC staff, released a joint statement highlighting the risks associated with investing in companies based or having substantial operations in emerging markets including China, reiterating past SEC and PCAOB statements on matters including the difficulty associated with inspecting accounting firms and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in emerging markets and the difficulty of bringing and enforcing SEC, Department of Justice and other U.S. regulatory actions, including in instances of fraud, in emerging markets generally.

 

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

 

On May 21, 2021, Nasdaq filed three proposals with the SEC to (i) apply minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating in a “Restrictive Market”, (ii) prohibit Restrictive Market companies from directly listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and only permit them to list on the Nasdaq Global Select or the Nasdaq Global Market in connection with a direct listing, and (iii) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the qualifications of the company’s auditors.

 

As a result of this scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on Raytech Holding, its offering, business and share price. If Raytech Holding becomes the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend Raytech Holding. This situation will be costly and time consuming and distract our management from developing our growth. If such allegations are not proven to be groundless, we and our business operations will be severely affected and you could sustain a significant decline in the value of our shares.

 

Nasdaq may apply additional and more stringent criteria for Raytech Holding’s initial and continued listing because Raytech Holding plan to have a small public offering and Raytech Holding insiders will hold a large portion of its listed securities.

 

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 provides Nasdaq with broad discretionary authority over the initial and continued listing of securities on Nasdaq and Nasdaq may use such discretion to deny initial listing, apply additional or more stringent criteria for the initial or continued listing of particular securities, or suspend or delist particular securities based on any event, condition, or circumstance that exists or occurs that makes initial or continued listing of the securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted in the opinion of Nasdaq, even though the securities meet all enumerated criteria for initial or continued listing on Nasdaq. In addition, Nasdaq has used its discretion to deny initial or continued listing or to apply additional and more stringent criteria in the instances, including but not limited to: (i) where the company engaged an auditor that has not been subject to an inspection by PCAOB, an auditor that PCAOB cannot inspect, or an auditor that has not demonstrated sufficient resources, geographic reach, or experience to adequately perform the company’s audit; (ii) where the company planned a small public offering, which would result in insiders holding a large portion of the company’s listed securities. Nasdaq was concerned that the offering size was insufficient to establish the company’s initial valuation, and there would not be sufficient liquidity to support a public market for the company; and (iii) where the company did not demonstrate sufficient nexus to the U.S. capital market, including having no U.S. shareholders, operations, or members of the board of directors or management. Raytech Holding’s initial public offering will be relatively small and the insiders of Raytech Holding will hold a large portion of its listed securities following the consummation of the offering. Therefore, Raytech Holding may be subject to the additional and more stringent criteria of Nasdaq for its initial and continued listing, which might cause delay or even denial of our listing application.

Raytech Holding’s 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.

 

When Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares are approved by the Nasdaq Capital Market and begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may be “thinly-traded”, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing Raytech Holding’s 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 Raytech Holding is 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 Raytech Holding came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and might be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as Raytech Holding or purchase or recommend the purchase of Raytech Holding’s shares until such time as Raytech Holding became more seasoned. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in Raytech Holding’s 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 share price. A broad or active public trading market for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may not develop or be sustained.

 

The initial public offering price for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market and such market prices may be volatile.

 

The initial public offering price for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may vary from the market price of its Ordinary Shares following our initial public offering. The financial markets in the United States and other countries have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations in the last few years. If you purchase Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in Raytech Holding’s initial public offering, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial public offering price. We cannot assure you that the initial public offering price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, or the market price following our initial public offering, will equal or exceed prices in privately negotiated transactions of our shares that have occurred from time to time prior to our initial public offering. The market price for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations due to factors such as: 

 

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

 

  actual or anticipated fluctuations in Raytech Holding’s quarterly operating results;

 

  changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

 

  negative publicity, studies or reports;

 

  our capability to catch up with the technology innovations in the industry;

 

  announcements by Raytech Holding or its competitors of acquisitions, strategic business relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

  addition or departure of key personnel;

 

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

 

  general economic or political conditions in Hong Kong, the PRC and greater Asia region.

 

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 Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares.

 

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

 

The initial public offering price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares is substantially higher than the (pro forma) net tangible book value per share of its Ordinary Shares. Consequently, when you purchase Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the offering and upon completion of the offering, you will incur immediate dilution of $3.76 per share, assuming an initial public offering price of $4.5, which is the midpoint of the price range as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. See “Dilution” on page 62 of this prospectus.

 

Substantial future sales of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares or the anticipation of future sales of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the public market could cause the price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to decline.

 

Sales of substantial amounts of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the public market after this offering and the sales of our Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders pursuant to the Resale Prospectus filed contemporaneously herewith, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to decline. An aggregate of 16,000,000 Ordinary Shares are outstanding before the consummation of this offering and 19,000,000 Ordinary Shares will be outstanding immediately after the consummation of this offering, assuming that the underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option. Sales of these shares into the market could cause the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to decline.

Raytech Holding does not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

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

 

As of the date of this prospectus, Pure Beauty has distributed dividends as follows: On December 31, 2021, Pure Beauty declared a per share dividend of HKD155.80 (US$20) to its then sole shareholder, Mr. Ching, which was paid in full in a total amount of HKD1,558,000 (US$198,915) to the shareholder on January 21, 2022. Other than disclosed above, we have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital shares. If Raytech Holding determines to pay dividends on any of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, it will be dependent on receipt of funds from its Hong Kong subsidiary, Pure Beauty. 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 Raytech Holding.

 

The offering price of the underwritten public offering and resale offering could differ.

 

The offering price of our Ordinary Shares in the initial public offering has been determined by negotiations between us and the underwriter. The offering price in the initial public offering bears no relationship to our assets, earnings or book value, or any other objective standard of value. The selling shareholders may sell the resale shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices after close of the offering and listing of the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. Therefore, the offering prices of the initial public offering and resale offering could differ. As a result, the purchasers in the resale offering could pay more or less than the offering price in the public offering.

 

The Resale by the selling shareholders may cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decline.

 

The resale of our Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders, as well as the issuance of our Ordinary Shares in this offering could result in resales of our Ordinary Shares by our current shareholders concerned about the potential dilution of their holdings. In addition, the resale by the certain shareholders after expiration of the lock-up period could have the effect of depressing the market price for our Ordinary Shares.

 

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

 

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

 

Raytech Holding may experience extreme stock price volatility unrelated to its actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, and such volatility may subject Raytech Holding to securities litigation.

 

The market for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may have, when compared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility and we expect that Raytech Holding’s share price may continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. Recently, there have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with a number of recent initial public offerings, especially among companies with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float, Raytech Holding may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to Raytech Holding’s actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares.

 

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

 

In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. Raytech Holding 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.

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because Raytech Holding is incorporated under British Virgin Islands law.

 

Raytech Holding is a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. Raytech Holding’s corporate affairs are governed by its memorandum and articles of association, the BVI Act and the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against Raytech Holding’s directors, actions by its minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of Raytech Holding’s directors to it under the British Virgin Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the British Virgin Islands. The common law of the British Virgin Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the British Virgin Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the British Virgin Islands. The rights of Raytech Holding’s shareholders and the fiduciary duties of its directors under the British Virgin Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the British Virgin Islands. In addition, British Virgin Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

 

Certain corporate governance practices in the British Virgin Islands, where Raytech Holding was incorporated, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. Raytech Holding is permitted to rely on home country practice with respect to its corporate governance. Although Raytech Holding currently does not intend to rely on home country practice for at least one year after the initial public offering, it may elect to rely on home country practice in the future. If Raytech Holding chooses to follow the British Virgin Islands’ practice in the future, its shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and This Offering – As a foreign private issuer, Raytech Holding is permitted to, and Raytech Holding will, rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq Stock Exchange corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of Raytech Holding’s shares.” on page 52 of this prospectus.

 

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulties in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by Raytech Holding’s management, or members of its board of directors, than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the BVI Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Description of Share Capital—Differences in Corporate Law.” beginning on page 103 of this prospectus.

 

As a foreign private issuer, Raytech Holding is permitted to, and it will, rely on exemptions from certain Nasdaq Stock Exchange corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of our shares.

 

Raytech Holding is exempted from certain corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq listing rules by virtue of being a foreign private issuer. Raytech Holding is required to provide a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the corporate governance practices required to be followed by domestic U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq. The standards applicable to Raytech Holding are considerably different than the standards applied to domestic U.S. issuers. For instance, Raytech Holding is not required to:

 

  have a majority of the board be independent (although all of the members of the audit committee must be independent under the Exchange Act);

 

  have a compensation committee or a nominating or corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors;
     
  have regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors; or
     
  have executive sessions of solely independent directors each year.

 

Raytech Holding has relied on and intends to continue to rely on some of these exemptions. As a result, you may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq.

 

52

 

  

If Raytech Holding cannot satisfy, or continue to satisfy, the initial listing requirements and other rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, although Raytech Holding is exempt from certain corporate governance standards applicable to US issuers as a Foreign Private Issuer, our securities may not be listed or may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of Raytech Holding’s securities and your ability to sell them.

 

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

 

In addition, following this offering, in order to maintain Raytech Holding’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, Raytech Holding will be required to comply with certain rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, including those regarding minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price and certain corporate governance requirements. Even if Raytech Holding initially meets the listing requirements and other applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, it may not be able to continue to satisfy these requirements and applicable rules. If Raytech Holding is unable to satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market criteria for maintaining our listing, its securities could be subject to delisting.

 

If the Nasdaq Capital Market does not list Raytech Holding’s securities, or subsequently delists Raytech Holding’s securities from trading, Raytech Holding could face significant consequences, including:

 

  a limited availability for market quotations for Raytech Holding’s securities;
     
  reduced liquidity with respect to Raytech Holding’s securities;
     
  a determination that Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Share to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares;
     
  limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
     
  a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

 

Because our business is conducted in Hong Kong dollars and the price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares is quoted in United States dollars, changes in currency conversion rates may affect the value of your investments.

 

Our business is conducted in Hong Kong, our books and records are maintained in Hong Kong dollars, which is the currency of Hong Kong, and the financial statements that Raytech Holding files with the SEC and provide to its shareholders are presented in United States dollars. Changes in the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and U.S. dollar affect the value of our assets and the results of our operations in United States dollars. The value of the Hong Kong dollar against the United States dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in Hong Kong’s political and economic conditions and perceived changes in the economy of Hong Kong and the United States. Any significant revaluation of the Hong Kong dollar may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenue and financial condition. Further, although Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus are denominated in United States dollars, Raytech Holding will need to convert the net proceeds it receives into Hong Kong dollars in order to use the funds for our business. Changes in the conversion rate between the United States dollar and the Hong Kong dollar will affect that amount of proceeds Raytech Holding will have available for our business.

 

53

 

 

Raytech Holding has broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

 

Raytech Holding’s 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 Raytech Holding’s use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by Raytech Holding’s management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business.

 

Raytech Holding’s pre-IPO shareholders will be able to sell their shares after completion of this offering subject to restrictions under Rule 144.

 

Raytech Holding’s pre-IPO shareholders may be able to sell their Ordinary Shares under Rule 144 after completion of this offering. Because these shareholders have paid a lower price per Ordinary Share than participants in this offering, when they are able to sell their pre-IPO shares under Rule 144, they may be more willing to accept a lower sales price than the IPO price. This fact could impact the trading price of the stock following completion of the offering, to the detriment of participants in this offering. Under Rule 144, before our pre-IPO shareholders can sell their shares, in addition to meeting other requirements, they must meet the required holding period. Raytech Holding does not expect any of the Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during the pendency of this offering.

 

There can be no assurance that Raytech Holding will not be a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”), for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares.

 

A non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC for any taxable year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income; or (2) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, or the asset test. Based on Raytech Holding’s current and expected income and assets (taking into account the expected cash proceeds and our anticipated market capitalization following this offering), Raytech Holding does not presently expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future. However, no assurance can be given in this regard because the determination of whether Raytech Holding is or will become a PFIC is a fact-intensive inquiry made on an annual basis that depends, in part, upon the composition of Raytech Holding’s income and assets. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, will agree with Raytech Holding’s conclusion or that the IRS would not successfully challenge Raytech Holding’s position. Fluctuations in the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may cause Raytech Holding to become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years because the value of Raytech Holding’s assets for the purpose of the asset test may be determined by reference to the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. The composition of Raytech Holding’s income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, it uses its liquid assets and the cash raised in this offering. If Raytech Holding were to be or become a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to such U.S. Holder and such U.S. Holder may be subject to additional reporting requirements and increased U.S. federal income tax liability. Our status as a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis. Accordingly, our U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect to our PFIC status and also expresses no opinion with regard to our expectations regarding our PFIC status. For a more detailed discussion of the application of the PFIC rules to Raytech Holding and the consequences to U.S. taxpayers if Raytech Holding were or are determined to be a PFIC, see “Taxation— Passive Foreign Investment Company.” beginning on page 113 of this prospectus.

Industry Data and Forecasts

 

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. personal care electrical device industries in Hong Kong and greater Asia, may not grow at the rate projected by market data, or at all. Failure of this industry to grow at the projected rate may have a material and adverse effect on our business and the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. In addition, the new and rapidly changing nature of the personal care electrical appliance industry results in significant uncertainties for any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our industry.

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

Raytech Holding is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands to take advantage of certain benefits associated with being a British Virgin Islands business company, such as:

 

  political and economic stability;

 

  an effective judicial system;

 

  a favorable tax system;

 

  the absence of exchange controls or currency restrictions; and

 

  the availability of professional and support services.

 

However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the British Virgin Islands. These disadvantages include, but are not limited to:

 

  the British Virgin Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to the United States; and

 

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

 

Raytech Holding’s amended and restated 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, Raytech Holding’s officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

 

All of Raytech Holding’s assets are located in Hong Kong. In addition, all of Raytech Holding’s directors and officers are nationals or residents of Hong Kong.  As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon Raytech Holding or these persons, or to enforce against Raytech Holding 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.

 

Raytech Holding has appointed Puglisi & Associates as its agent to receive service of process upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.

 

Forbes Hare, Raytech Holding’s British Virgin Islands counsel, and Han Kun Law Offices LLP, Raytech Holding’s Hong Kong counsel, have advised Raytech Holding that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the BVI or Hong Kong would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against Raytech Holding or its directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands or Hong Kong against Raytech Holding or its directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

 

56

 

 

There is uncertainty with regard to British Virgin Islands law as to whether a judgment obtained from the United States courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the British Virgin Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the British Virgin Islands are also unlikely to recognize or enforce the judgment against a British Virgin Islands company. Because the courts of the British Virgin Islands have yet to rule on whether such judgments are penal or punitive in nature, it is uncertain whether they would be enforceable in the British Virgin Islands. Forbes Hare has advised us that although there is no statutory enforcement in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States, in certain circumstances a judgment obtained in such jurisdiction may be recognized and enforced in the courts of the British Virgin 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 High Court of the British Virgin Islands, provided such judgment:

 

  is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction and such foreign court had proper jurisdiction over the parties subject to such judgment;

 

  imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given;

 

  is final;

 

  no new admissible evidence relevant to the action is submitted prior to the rendering of the judgment by the courts of the BVI;

 

  is not in respect of taxes, a fine, a penalty or similar fiscal or revenue obligations of the company; and

 

  was not obtained in a fraudulent manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the British Virgin Islands.

 

In appropriate circumstances, a BVI Court may give effect in the BVI to other kinds of final foreign judgments such as declaratory orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions.

 

Han Kun Law Offices LLP, Raytech Holding’s Hong Kong counsel, has further advised Raytech Holding that foreign judgments of United States courts will not be directly enforced in Hong Kong as 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 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 contrary to public policy. However, a separate legal action for debt must be commenced in Hong Kong in order to recover such debt from the judgment debtor. As a result, subject to the conditions with regard to enforcement of judgments of United States courts being met, including but not limited to the above, a foreign judgment of the United States of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any State or territory within the United States could be enforceable in Hong Kong.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

Since Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares was determined by Raytech Holding and the underwriter and is based on an assessment of Raytech Holding’s financial condition and prospects, comparable companies with similar sizes and businesses currently traded on U.S. capital markets, and the general condition of the securities market. It does not necessarily bear any relationship to Raytech Holding’s book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. Although Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares are not listed on a public exchange, Raytech Holding intends to obtain a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market immediately after the closing of the offering.

 

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. That price is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for the Ordinary Shares, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions, and we cannot assure you that the Ordinary Shares can be resold at or above the public offering price.

 

59

 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

Subject to the BVI Act and Raytech Holding’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, Raytech Holding’s board of directors may authorize and declare a dividend to shareholders at such time and of such an amount as they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately following the dividend the value of Raytech Holding’s assets will exceed its liabilities and Raytech Holding will be able to pay its debts as they become due. There is no further BVI statutory restriction on the amount of funds which may be distributed by us by dividend.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, Pure Beauty has distributed dividends as follows: On December 31, 2021, Pure Beauty declared a per share dividend of HKD155.80 (US$20) to its then sole shareholder, Mr. Ching, which was paid in full in a total amount of HKD1,558,000 (US$198,915) to the shareholder on January 21, 2022. If Raytech Holding determines to pay dividends on any of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, Raytech Holding will be dependent on receipt of funds from its Hong Kong subsidiary Pure Beauty. 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 Raytech Holding.

 

Other than disclosed above, Raytech Holding has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital shares. Raytech Holding currently intends to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business and does not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to Raytech Holding’s dividend policy will be made at the discretion of Raytech Holding’s board of directors after considering Raytech Holding’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments.

 

If Raytech Holding determines to pay dividends on any of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, Raytech Holding will be dependent on receipt of funds from its Hong Kong subsidiary, Pure Beauty.

 

Cash dividends, if any, on Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares will be paid in U.S. dollars.

 

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 Raytech Holding. See “Taxation - Hong Kong Profits Taxation.” on page 115 of this prospectus.

  on an actual basis; and

 

 

on an as adjusted basis to reflect the issuance and sale of the Ordinary Shares by us in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $4.5 per Ordinary Share, which is the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by Raytech Holding.

 

You should read this table together with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus and the information under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” beginning on page 64 of this prospectus.

 

   March 31, 2023 
   Actual   Actual   Adjusted(2) 
   HKD   US$   US$ 
Shareholders’ equity:            
Ordinary Shares, US$0.00000625 par value, 8,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares authorized and 16,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding (as adjusted to reflect the share split on May 10, 2023) as of March 31, 2023(1); 19,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, as adjusted assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised(2)   783    100    119

DILUTION 

 

If you invest in Raytech Holding’s 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 Raytech Holding’s 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.

 

Raytech Holding’s net tangible book value as of March 31, 2023 was approximately $2,692,838, or $0.17 per Ordinary Share. Net tangible book value represents the amount of Raytech Holding’s total consolidated tangible assets, less the amount of Raytech Holding’s total consolidated liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting the as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share from the initial public offering price per Ordinary Share and after deducting the estimated discounts to the underwriter and the estimated offering expenses payable by Raytech Holding.

 

After giving further effect to Raytech Holding’s sale of 3,000,000 Ordinary Shares in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $4.5 per Ordinary Share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by Raytech Holding, Raytech Holding’s pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2023 is $14,082,228, or $0.74 per Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share of $0.57 to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share of $3.76 to new investors purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering.

 

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per Ordinary Share basis.

 

Assumed initial public offering price per ordinary share  $4.50 
Net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of March 31, 2023  $0.17 
Increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share attributable to new investors purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering  $0.57 
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering  $0.74 
Dilution per Ordinary Share to new investors in this offering  $3.76 

 

An increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares would increase (decrease) Raytech Holding’s net tangible book value after giving effect to the offering assuming no change to the number of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated expenses payable by Raytech Holding.

 

To the extent that Raytech Holding issues additional Ordinary Shares in the future, there will be further dilution to new investors participating in this offering.

 

The following table summarizes, on an as adjusted basis as of March 31, 2023, the differences between existing shareholders and the new investors, the total consideration paid and the average price per Ordinary Share before deducting the estimated discounts to the underwriter and the estimated offering expenses payable by Raytech Holding.

CORPORATE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE

 

Our Corporate History

 

Pure Beauty was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong with limited liability on April 15, 2013 and Raytech Holding’s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Ching is the founder. In order to prepare for this offering, a series of restructure actions have been taken. In June 2022, Raytech Holding was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands with the sole purpose being a holding company of Pure Beauty. Upon incorporation, Raytech Holding issued 100 founder shares of ordinary share, par value $1.00 per share, to Mr. Ching (90 shares) and other minority shareholders (collectively 10 shares) at $1.00 per share. In August 2022, Mr. Ching, as the sole member of Pure Beauty, transferred all outstanding 10,000 shares of Pure Beauty held by him to Raytech Holding, in conjunction with which, Pure Beauty issued additional 790,000 shares to Raytech Holding; resulting in Raytech Holding being the parent company of Pure Beauty, holding a total of 800,000 shares in Pure Beauty. In September 2022, Mr. Ching subsequently transferred 5 shares of Raytech Holding to APTC Holdings Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, and 5 shares of Raytech Holding to Mr. Chun Yin Ling, a director nominee of Raytech Holding and a director assistant of Pure Beauty at $1.00 per share.

 

On May 10, 2023, we filed our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs to increase our authorized shares from 50,000 Ordinary Shares, par value of $1.00 per share, to 8,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value of $0.00000625 per share and effectuated a forward split of all issued and outstanding shares at a ratio of 160,000-for-1.

 

In August 2023, Market Tycoon Investments Limited transferred 480,000 Ordinary Shares to Mr. WONG TAI CHI at $0.00000625 per share, and APTC Holdings Limited transferred 800,000 Ordinary Shares to Ms. LOOK Wai Yi at $0.00000625 per share. In October 2023, Value Classic Global Limited transferred 640,000 Ordinary Shares to Crystal Charm Investments Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, at $0.00000625 per share, Mr. WONG TAI CHI transferred 480,000 Ordinary Shares to Value Crystal Investment Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, at $0.00000625 per share, and Ms. LOOK Wai Yi transferred 800,000 Ordinary Shares to Ace Challenger Limited, a British Virgin Islands company, at $0.00000625 per share. As of the date hereof, Mr. Ching holds 80% of the equity interests in Raytech Holding and other minority shareholders collectively hold 20% of the equity interests in Raytech Holding.

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

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Raytech Holding’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this prospectus contain forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Raytech Holding’s 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

 

Leveraging our expertise in the personal care electrical appliance industry, we aim to promote consumer lifestyles and drive the awareness of personal grooming. Through Raytech Holding’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, Pure Beauty, we principally engage in the sourcing and wholesaling of personal care electrical appliances for international brand owners. We also provide product design and development collaboration as a value-added service for our customers. Our customers are brand owners of personal care electrical appliances who market and sell their personal care electrical appliances products to end consumers. Commencing our operation in 2013, we have accumulated over 10 years of experience in the industry.

 

Over years of operation, we have sourced and wholesaled a wide range of personal care electrical appliances, which can be broadly classified into seven major categories: (i) hair styling series, including hair dryer, hair straightener and curling iron; (ii) trimmer series, including facial shaver, nose trimmer and eyebrow trimmer; (iii) eyelash curler; (iv) neck care series; (v) nail care series; (vi) tooling and (vii) other personal care series, including facial body and facial brush, reset brush, callus removers, sonic peeling, handy fan and others. In particular, along with product design and development collaboration, we are specialized in sourcing and wholesaling hair dryers within our hair styling series which primarily include salon-type hair protection and styling functions or compact design for travel. 

 

Our customers are brand owners of personal care electrical appliances including, Koizumi Seiki Corp., one of the top 10 sellers in terms of retail volume in the personal care electrical appliance market in Japan as stated in “Personal Care Appliances in Japan” by Euromonitor International in January 2023. We maintain long term business relationship with our customers.  Leveraging our substantial experience and expertise in the personal care electrical appliances industry, we believe we are well positioned to maintain our relationship with our current customers, and explore our market share in the U.S., Europe and other Asia markets in the near future.

 

Since our inception, our business has generated significant growth in revenues and profits. Due to the impact of a weaker global economy and market trend, our revenue only slightly increased from HKD45,105,917 for the year ended March 31, 2022 to HKD45,518,239 (US$5,798,576) for the year ended March 31, 2023, representing an increase of 0.9%. Our net income decreased from HKD9,440,390 for the year ended March 31, 2022 to HKD6,292,870 (US$801,650) for the year ended March 31, 2023, representing a decrease of 33.3%.

Key Factors that Affect Results of Operations

 

Our results of operations have been and will continue to be affected by a number of factors, including those set out below:

 

Competition from other sellers in the market

 

The personal care electric appliances sourcing market is relatively fragmented and competitive. We primarily compete with other sourcing offices in the industry and indirectly compete with manufacturers based in South Asia. We compete based on our product quality, research and development capabilities, established customer relationships and our experienced management team. Our current and future competitors may have longer operating histories, larger and more established customer bases, better manufacturer relationships, better supply chain capabilities, or greater financial, technical, or marketing resources than we do. Competitors may leverage their experience and resources to compete with us in a variety of ways, including investing more heavily in sales and marketing, adopting more aggressive pricing strategies, and making acquisitions for the expansion of their products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, and such competition may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

 

Our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers

 

Our success depends on our ability to maintain good relationships with our existing customers and increase sales to them over time, as a significant amount of current net revenue is generated from sales to a limited number of existing customers. If we are unable to satisfy our existing customer needs in terms of product quality or service level, our business transactions with our customers may decline, and our operating results and financial conditions would be adversely impacted in a material manner.

 

In addition, our future success depends in part on our ability to attract new customers and continue to expand our customer base. In order to attract new customers, we must increase our investment in sales and marketing function across markets and recruit the right talent to drive the expansion efforts. Such investment and recruitment activities may not necessarily yield an increase in revenue, and even if they do, the expenses we will incur may more than offset any increase in revenue, which would harm our business, financial condition, and growth prospects.

 

Our ability to manage costs of raw materials or transportation

 

Changes in the costs of raw materials or transportation indirectly affect our cost structure. Any increase in production costs may be passed on to us, but we might not be able to pass on all or any part of the subsequent increase in costs to our customers, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial performance. We do not have long-term contracts with third-party contract manufacturers and raw material vendors. We usually enter into fixed-price contracts with vendors and agree on raw materials pricing concurrently with our acceptance of each customer order, but in some cases a short time gap may be inevitable. Where market forces drive up raw material costs, we may from time to time fail to negotiate price terms that are advantageous to us and hence put pressure on our profit margin.

 

A downturn in general economic conditions

 

Majority of our revenue was derived from sales to Japan consumer market, with future expansion strategies into the U.S., Europe and Asia market. In recent years, the global economic indicators have shown mixed signs, and the future growth of the economies are subject to many factors beyond our control. A downturn in the economy could adversely impact consumer purchases of discretionary items such as personal care electric appliances. Factors that could affect consumers’ willingness to make such discretionary purchase include general business conditions, levels of employment, interest rates and tax rates, the availability of consumer credit, and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. In the event of an economic downturn, we could experience lower than expected net sales, which could force us to delay or slow our growth strategy and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, profitability, and cash flows. 

 

65

 

 

The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic and the travel restrictions, quarantines, and other related public health measures and actions taken by governments and the private sector have adversely affected global economies, financial markets, and the overall environment for our business, and the extent to which it may continue to impact our results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain. The global macroeconomic effects of the pandemic may persist indefinitely, even after the pandemic has subsided.

 

Supply chain disruptions have become a major challenge for the global economy since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. These shortages and supply-chain disruptions are significant and widespread. Lockdowns in several countries across the world, labor shortages, robust demand for tradable goods, disruptions to logistics networks, and capacity constraints have resulted in increases in freight costs and delivery times. Companies that are reliant on the movement of goods and materials, such as our company, may suffer from plant closures and supply shortages across the extended supply network.

 

Economic, political and social conditions in mainland China and Hong Kong, as well as its government policies, laws and regulations

 

Our key operations are in Hong Kong. However, due to the long arm provisions under the current laws and regulations of mainland China, the PRC government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced to a significant degree by the political, economic, and social conditions in the PRC generally and by the continued economic growth in mainland China as a whole. Accordingly, our results of operations and prospects are, to a significant degree, subject to economic, political, and legal developments in the PRC.

 

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, 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 our operation is based in Hong Kong, any change of such political arrangements may pose immediate threat to the stability of the economy in Hong Kong, thereby directly and adversely affecting our results of operations and financial positions.

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, useful lives of property and equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets and implicit interest rate of operating leases. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and uncertainties

 

Economic and political risks

 

The Company’s operations are mainly conducted in Hong Kong. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by changes in the political, economic, and legal environments in Hong Kong.

 

The Company’s operations in Hong Kong are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in Hong Kong, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

 

Inflation Risk

 

Management monitors changes in price levels. Historically inflation has not materially impacted the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements; however, significant increases in the price of raw materials and labor that cannot be passed to the Company’s customers could adversely impact Company’s results of operations.

 

 Impact of COVID-19

 

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted consumer spending and global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. We have experienced some resulting disruptions to our business operations, and we expect the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial performance.

 

Due to the ongoing recession caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company’s business is likely to be adversely impacted. The effects of recession can also increase economic instability with our vendors and customers.

 

Functional currency and foreign currency translation

 

The Company uses Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary which is incorporated in Hong Kong is HKD, which is its respective local currency based on the criteria of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.

 

In the consolidated financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are measured and recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. All gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions are recorded in the consolidated income statements during the year in which they occur.

 

Convenience translation

 

Translations of amounts in the consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows from HKD into US$ as of and for the year ended March 31, 2023 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the noon buying rate of US$1 = HKD7.8499, as published in H.10 statistical release of the United States Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the HKD amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at such rate or at any other rate. 

 

Cash

 

Cash mainly represents cash at bank and demand deposits which have original maturities less than three months and are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. As of March 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company maintains its bank accounts in Hong Kong.

 

Accounts receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts.

 

The Company make estimates of expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses and allowance for unbilled receivables based upon our assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. The provision is recorded against accounts receivable balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of income. Actual amounts received may differ from management’s estimate of credit worthiness and the economic environment. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

 

Provision for doubtful accounts was nil and nil as of March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

 

67

 

 

Merchandise inventories, net

 

Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on a weighted average basis. Costs include mainly the cost of merchandise inventories. Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of merchandise inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of merchandise inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to sell products. The Company periodically evaluates merchandise inventories for their net realizable value adjustments and reduces the carrying value of those merchandise inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value based on various factors including aging and expiration dates, as applicable, taking into consideration historical and expected future product sales. For the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, no merchandise inventory reserve was recorded because no slow-moving, obsolete, or damaged merchandise inventory was identified.

 

Prepayments

 

Prepayments primarily consists of prepaid rent. These amounts are refundable and bear no interest. Management reviews its prepayments on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. As of March 31, 2022 and 2023, no allowance was deemed necessary.

 

Deferred initial public offering (“IPO”) costs

 

Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, IPO costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. These costs include legal fees related to the registration drafting and counsel, consulting fees related to the registration preparation, the SEC filing and print related costs. As of March 31, 2023, the Company did not conclude its IPO. During the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a charge of HKD3,176,871 (US$404,702) related to the IPO. As of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the accumulated deferred IPO costs was Nil and HKD3,176,871 (US$404,702), respectively.

 

Long-term deposits

 

Long-term deposits are mainly for rent, utilities and money deposited with certain manufacturers. These amounts are refundable and bear no interest. The long-term deposits are refunded from manufacturers when the terms and conditions set forth in the agreements have been satisfied.

 

Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment if applicable. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method after consideration of the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

    Useful Life
Office equipment   2 years
Office furniture and fixtures   2 years
Leasehold improvements   lesser of lease term or expected useful life

 

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterment, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

 

Impairment for long-lived assets

 

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

 

68

 

 

Fair value measurement

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

 

Leases

 

The Company adopted ASC 842 on April 1, 2020. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liability, and operating lease liability, non-current in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When determining the lease term, the Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option, if any. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected to adopt the following lease policies in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02: (i) for leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less and does not include a purchase option that is reasonably certain to exercise, the Company elected not to apply ASC 842 recognition requirements; and (ii) the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients for existing arrangements entered into prior to April 1, 2020 to not reassess (a) whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, (b) the lease classification applied to existing leases, and(c) initial direct costs.

 

Revenue recognition

  

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the five-step model defined by ASC Topic 606 requires the Company to (1) identify its contracts with customers, (2) identify its performance obligations under those contracts, (3) determine the transaction prices of those contracts, (4) allocate the transaction prices to its performance obligations in those contracts and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation under those contracts is satisfied. Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services.

 

69

 

 

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Control is the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the specified goods and services.

 

The Company currently generates its revenue through sourcing and wholesaling of Japanese beauty products, as well as personal care products and other products, through distribution network to Japan market. Currently, the Company sells its products through sourcing and wholesale customers. The Company sells goods under Free On Board (“FOB”) shipping point term, and revenue is recognized when product is loaded on the ships and control is deemed as transferred. Typical payment terms set forth in the invoice is within 30 days.

 

The Company is the principal for the majority of its transactions and recognizes revenue on a gross basis. The Company is the principal when it has control of the merchandise before it is transferred to customers, which generally is established when the Company is primarily responsible for merchandising decisions, maintains the relationship with customer, and has pricing discretion.

 

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. For certain products, customers are required to pay before the goods are delivered. The Company recognizes a contract asset or a contract liability in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on the relationship between the Company’s performance and the customer’s payment.

 

The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for goods transferred to a customer as either a receivable or a contract asset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional as compared to a contract asset which is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. The Company recognizes accounts receivable in its consolidated balance sheets when it delivers the goods in advance of receiving consideration and if it has the unconditional right to receive consideration. The Company did not have any capitalized contract cost as of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023.

 

Contract liabilities are recognized if the Company receives consideration in advance from customers. The Company expects to recognize a significant majority of this balance as revenue over the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter. As of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the contract liabilities of the Company amounted to Nil and HKD1,705,854 (US$217,309), respectively.

Cost of sales of beauty products, personal care products and other products, which are directly related to revenue-generating transactions, primarily consist of cost of purchasing of products and tooling cost incurred in provision of tooling services.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of motor vehicle running expenses, travelling and entertainment and general administrative expenses such as of staff costs, rental expenses, depreciation, legal and professional fees and other miscellaneous administrative expenses.

 

Employee Benefit

 

Hong Kong Employment Ordinance (“The Ordinance”) requires an employee employed under a continuous employment contract is entitled to sickness allowance if (1) the sick leave taken is not less than four consecutive days; (2) the sick leave take is supported by an appropriate medical certificate; and (3) the employee has accumulated sufficient number of paid sickness days. The daily rate of sickness allowance is a sum equivalent to four-fifths of the average daily wages earned by an employee in the 12-month period preceding the first sickness day.

 

The Ordinance also requires an employee is entitled to 12 statutory holidays regardless of his or her length of services. Holiday pay should be paid the employee whose continuous employment contract is not less than three months immediately preceding a statutory holiday is entitled to the holiday pay.

 

An employee is entitled to a paid annual leave after having been employed under a continuous employment contract for every 12 months. An employee’s paid annual leave increases progressively from 7 days to a maximum of 14 days in accordance with his or her length of employment.

Under Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, an employer shall enroll their regular employees in Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes. Regular employees are those who are at between 18 and 65 years of age and have been employed for consecutive 60 days or more. An employer is required to make regular mandatory contributions at least 5% of the employee’s monthly income between HKD7,000 and HKD30,000 and HKD1,500 of the employee’s monthly income over HKD30,000.

 

Government Grant

 

Government grant which is amount granted by local government authorities as an incentive for companies to develop, upgrade and restructure operation, promote domestic sales and enhance competitiveness and facilitate business development. The Company receives government grant related to government sponsored projects and records such government grants as a liability when it is received. The Company records government grants as other income when there is no further performance obligation. Total government grant amounted to HKD452,250 and Nil for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

 

Income taxes

 

Raytech is not subject to tax on income or capital gains under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands. In addition, upon payments of dividends by Raytech and the Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong, Pure Beauty to the Company’s shareholders, no British Virgin Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

 

Pure Beauty is incorporated in and carry trade and business in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong profits tax under Inland Revenue Department Ordinance.

 

The charge for taxation is based on actual results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed; and it is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The Group is not currently subject to tax in the British Virgin Islands.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to 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. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023.

 

Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company 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. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

 

71

 

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relate to a wide range of matters, such as government investigations and tax matters. The Company recognizes its liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company may consider many factors in making these assessments including historical and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.

 

Earnings per share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average ordinary share outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the diluted effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, there were no dilutive shares.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and account receivable. The Company places its cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality.

 

Accounts receivable primarily comprise of amounts receivable from the service customers. To reduce credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of these service customers. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful accounts based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific service customers and other information.

 

Concentration of customers

 

As of March 31, 2022, one major customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 96.8% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2023, one customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 99.6% of the Company’s total accounts receivable.

  

For the year ended March 31, 2022, one major customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 97.8% of the Company’s total revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2023, one major customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 91.3% of the Company’s total revenues.

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 consolidated financial statements for detailing the Company’s business segments. Based on the criteria established by ASC 280, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. As a whole and hence, the Company has only one reportable segment. The Company does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. As the Company’s long-lived assets are substantially located in Hong Kong, no geographical segments are presented.

Recently issued 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.

 

On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance amends ASC Topic 740 and addresses several aspects including 1) evaluation of step-up tax basis of goodwill when there is not a business combination, 2) policy election to not allocate consolidated taxes on a separate entity basis to entities not subject to income tax, 3) accounting for tax law changes or rates during interim periods, 4) ownership changes from equity method investment to subsidiary or vice versa, 5) elimination of exception to intrapetrous allocation when there is gain in discontinued operations and a loss from continuing operations, and 6) treatment of franchise taxes that are partially based on income. The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs”. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. ASU 2020-08 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. All entities should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. These amendments do not change the effective dates for Update 2017-08. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

73

 

  

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, “Codification Improvements”. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification or correct unintended application of guidance that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The amendments in this Update affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. ASU 2020-10 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update will generally result in an entity recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date rather than at fair value. The new standard is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. This standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023 and the Company does not expect a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. However, the ultimate impact is dependent upon the size and frequency of future acquisitions.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows.

For the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, we generated our revenue primarily through sales of personal care products.

The increase was principally driven by a significant increase in sales in our hair styling series and new tooling revenue generated from manufacturing multiple tools, molds and assembly equipment as part of tooling program for our customers but offset by the cease sales from a new product series – neck care series introduced in the last financial year, which was caused by market trends.

Accounts receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable represented receivables from our customers arising from our sales. We generally grant our customers a credit period ranging from 30 to 60 days, depending on their reputation, transaction history and the products purchased. Our accounts receivable increased by 16.5% to HKD6,787,330 (US$864,639) as of March 31, 2023 from HKD5,827,827 as of March 31, 2022, which was primarily driven by an increase in number of orders.

 

During the period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2023, we have not recorded any provision for doubtful accounts as our customers have always settled full payments within the credit periods or short extended credit periods.

 

Our management regularly reviews outstanding accounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts. When collection of the original invoice amounts is no longer probable, we will either partially or fully write-off the balance against the allowance for doubtful accounts. In establishing the required allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers historical collection experience, aging of the receivables, the economic environment, industry trend analysis, and the credit history and financial conditions of the customers. Our management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the bad debt allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against allowance for doubtful accounts after all means of collection have been exhausted and that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

 

Taxes receivables and taxes payables

 

Our taxes receivables were HKD514,007 (US$65,479) as of March 31, 2023, compared to our taxes payables of HKD928,790 as of March 31, 2022. 

 

Prepayments

 

Our prepayments were HKD95,000 (US$12,102) as of March 31, 2023, which was primarily attributable to a prepayment for rental of Hong Kong office.

 

Amount due from a director

 

The amounts are due from a shareholder, Mr. Ching Tim Hoi. The amounts due from a shareholder decreased by 59.3% to HKD992,026 (US$126,374) as of March 31, 2023 from HKD2,436,898 as of March 31, 2022 due to shareholder repayment.

 

The receivable represented payments made on behalf of the director and shareholder by Pure Beauty. The loan agreement provides that borrowings are interest-free and are payable on demand. Subsequently the amount was fully settled in cash in July 2023.

 

Accounts payable and account payable – related party

 

Our total accounts payable are mainly related to the purchase of apparel products from our collaborating manufacturers and a related party. Our collaborating manufacturers usually granted us a credit period of 120 days.

 

Our total accounts payable increased by 95.2% to HKD9,503,948 (US$1,210,709) as of March 31, 2023 from HKD4,867,791 as of March 31, 2022 due to slower payment to related party during the year ended March 31, 2023 compared with corresponding period in 2022.

 

Accruals

 

Our accruals increased to HKD616,078 (US$78,482) as of March 31, 2023 from HKD50,000 as of March 31, 2022, principally due to an increase in provision for employee benefits and commissions incurred for our sales.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including arrangements that would affect its liquidity, capital resources, market risk support, and credit risk support or other benefits.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

Credit risk

 

Our assets that potentially subject to a significant concentration of credit risk primarily consist of cash and accounts receivable.

 

We believe that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash in Hong Kong, which were held by reputable financial institutions. As of March 31, 2023, cash balance of HKD21,362,580 (approximately US$2,721,383) was maintained at financial institutions in Hong Kong across two major reputable banks.

 

We have designed credit policies with an objective to minimize their exposure to credit risk. Our accounts receivable are short term in nature and the associated risk is minimal. We conduct credit evaluations on our customers and generally do not require collateral or other security from such customers. We periodically evaluate the creditworthiness of the existing customers in determining an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based upon the age of the receivables and factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers.

 

We are also exposed to risk from accounts receivables. These assets are subjected to credit evaluations. An allowance, where applicable, would make for estimated unrecoverable amounts which have been determined by reference to past default experience and the current economic environment.

 

Customers concentration risk

 

As of March 31, 2022, one major customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 96.8% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2023, one customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 99.6% of the Company’s total accounts receivable.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2022, one major customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 97.8% of the Company’s total revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2023, one major customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 91.3% of the Company’s total revenues.

 

Manufacturers concentration risk 

 

As of March 31, 2022, two manufacturers accounted for 82.6% and 15.2% of the total balance of accounts payable, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, one manufacturer accounted for 92.3% of the total balance of accounts payable. The manufacturer is a related party.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2022, two manufacturers accounted for 77.3% and 22.3% of our total purchases, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2023, two manufacturers accounted for 83.1% and 10.4% of our total purchases, respectively. One major manufacturer is a related party.

 

Interest rate risk

 

Our exposure on exposure on cash flow interest rate risk mainly arises from our deposits with banks.

 

In respect of the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk arising from floating rate non-derivative financial instruments held by us, such as cash deposits and bank borrowings, at the end of the reporting period, we are not exposed to significant interest rate risk as the interest rates are not expected to change significantly.

 

Foreign currency risk

 

We are exposed to foreign currency risk primarily through sales that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which they relate. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily US$. As HKD is currently pegged to US$, our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations is minimal.

Product Sourcing and Wholesaling

 

We are experienced in design and development in the personal care electrical appliance industry. Our research and development team consists of 2 full-time employees with aggregated experience of at least 16 years of industry experience in electrical appliances engineering and supply chain management. We serve our customers through sourcing or arranging the production process of personal care electrical appliance products to the manufacturers. Besides, leveraging our strong design and development capabilities and our experience in anticipating consumer preference, we are able to provide technical recommendations and solutions to or assist our customers in the design and development of the personal care electrical appliance products that meet the needs of our customers. Riding on our extensive experience and product development capability, we continue to expand and strengthen our market position and plan to explore oral care electrical appliance series for the international brand owners.

 

Our product sourcing service is summarized as follows: our sales and marketing team first receives an order from our customer who requests our expertise to examine and advise on the design and manufacturing feasibility of a product sample or design prototype of a product prepared by the customer. We forward the sample or design prototype to a manufacturer who performs a feasibility assessment of the design, specification, materials required, type of engineering and required technology and packaging of the product sample or design prototype provided by the customer. As an auxiliary service, we may suggest modifications to the design, specification, materials to be used, technology and packaging to the customer, or as requested by our customer, may jointly design and develop the products with our customer based on the requirement, standard and narrative of our customer. Upon the completion of the assessment and receipt of acceptance of the modifications from the customer, our marketing and operation team provides a price quotation to the customer. Once the quotation is accepted by the customer, we forward the finalized design, specification and customer’s requests to the manufacturer and arrange a manufacturing schedule for producing a sample at the manufacturer’s facility. The manufacturer performs an initial evaluation and quality testing on the sample of the finished product. We then provide the tested sample of the finished product to our customer. Upon the acceptance of the sample of the finished product by the customer’s quality control team, we will arrange a manufacturing schedule with the manufacturer for a mass production. After the mass production is completed, our shipping team confirms the shipping destination with our customer, arranges the shipping documents and forwards the instructions to the manufacturer who fulfills the shipment of the finished product to the customer’s destination as instructed.

 

We bear the costs and risks of forwarding the sample or design prototype to a manufacturer, providing suggestions for modifications of product design and specification, sending the tested sample of the finished product to our customer and shipping delay that is otherwise caused by other parties rather than the manufacturer. In the event of manufacturing defaults such as refining the product samples, manufacturing failure or delay, or delay of shipping caused by the manufacturing facility, our collaborating manufacturer bears the relative costs and risks.

 

We sell our personal care electrical appliances products at wholesale to our customers. As the design, prototype, specification of the personal care electrical appliances and the respective packaging, are developed under the narratives, requirements and standards of our customers, the patents of such design and product prototype are owned by our customers. 

 

Our Customers

 

Our customers are brand owners of personal care electrical appliances including, Koizumi Seiki Corp., one of the top 10 sellers in terms of retail volume in the personal care electrical appliance market in Japan as stated in “Personal Care Appliances in Japan” by Euromonitor International in January 2023.

The market size of the global personal care electrical appliances market expanded to US$21.21 billion in 2023 from US$19.63 billion in 2022 based on “Personal Care Appliances Global Market Report 2023 – By Product (Hair Care, Hair Removal, Oral Care, Other Products), By Distribution Channel (Online, Offline), By End-Use (Female, Male) – Market Size, Trends, And Global Forecast 2023-2032” published by The Business Research Company.

 

In its “Personal Care Electrical Appliances Market Size 2023-208 Market Research Report,” IMARC Group stated that the market size of the global personal care electrical appliances was about US$21.6 billion in 2022.

 

According to “Personal Care Appliances Global Market Report 2023 – By Product (Hair Care, Hair Removal, Oral Care, Other Products), By Distribution Channel (Online, Offline), By End-Use (Female, Male) – Market Size, Trends, And Global Forecast 2023-2032” issued by The Business Research Company, the major sellers in the global personal care appliances sector include: Conair Corporation, Dyson Ltd, Helen of Troy Limited, Johnson & Johnson, Koninklijke Philips N.V., The Procter & Gamble Company, The Wahl Clipper Corporation, Vega Industries Private Limited and Yongkang Xinji Hairdressing Appliance Factory, Braun GmbH, Norelco Consumer Products Company.

 

Majority of the Company’s customers are international brand owners who predominantly marketed their personal care electrical appliances in Japan.

Further, the research analyzed that the development of the personal care appliances includes three aspects:

 

  brand premiumization and inflation

 

  emergence in men’s personal care appliance market

 

  opportunities in children’s personal care appliances market

 

Euromonitor explained that the major personal care appliances market players in Japan such as Panasonic, Sharp, Koizumi, upgraded their personal care appliances products with new technologies particularly hair care appliances in order to charge premium prices. As premium hair dryers have been widely accepted in Japan, there is an opportunity for those market players to charge higher price in this category.

 

Men’s personal care appliances market is developing prominently. New technologies such as ion plate technology by Panasonic, radiofrequency technology by Ya-man enhanced the features and functions of skin care shaver products as well as consumer’s perception towards such products.

 

The study highlighted that Sharp launched new hair dryer in 2022 which introduced new “gentle mode” in its hair dryer products which were also focused children’s hair. Such feature incorporated weaker power, less noise and mild temperature which resolved the comfort and safety issues perceived by children. The study predicted that personal care electrical appliance market players tend to explore more added-values functions for their personal care appliance products targeted to children’s sector.

 

The research reflected that the sales value of the hair care and hair removal appliances increased by 5.8% from Japanese Yen 182.6 billion in 2021 to Japanese Yen 193.2 billion 2022. The sales value of this subcategory is projected to rise by 2.5% from Japanese Yen 193.2 billion in 2022 to Japanese Yen 198.0 billion in 2023.

 

The study identified that the sales value of the overall oral care appliances in Japan steadily increased by 1.2% to Japanese Yen 25.0 billion in 2022 from Japanese Yen 24.7 billion in 2021. The sales value of this product category is expected to remain steady in 2023 with a slight increment of 1.2% in 2023, from Japanese Yen 25.0 billion in 2022 to Japanese Yen 25.3 billion in 2023.

 

Moreover, the study revealed that the sales value of the other personal care appliances (which included other oral appliances, electric toothbrush units, battery toothbrush units and others) in Japan exhibited a strong performance in 2022 and is expected to remain at a comparable growth rate in 2023. In 2022, Japan posted a 10.7% raise in the sales value of this product line, from Japanese Yen 43.9 billion in 2021 to Japanese Yen 48.6 billion in 2022.

Growth Strategy

 

Our goal is to become a leading product design and development office in personal care and lifestyle electrical appliances industry in Asia. To achieve this goal, we plan to adopt the following plans and strategies:

 

explore new product lines such as oral care electrical appliances;
   

  continue to expand our men’s personal care and hair care and styling product lines. For instance, shavers and electric hair brush
   
  broaden sales through providing technical expertise to the potential and new customers   in personal care electrical appliance market; and

We have currently only conducted limited market studies of these other markets, but have not started any marketing or sales initiatives for these markets.

 

We plan to increase our investments in sales and marketing function, in particular the U.S., Europe and Asia market to cope with our business expansion plan, our Company’s sales and marketing activities mainly included handling purchase orders received from our customers, coordinating with our manufacturers which have their production teams for execution of purchase orders, communicating with our customers on their requests and feedbacks exploring with then the potential business opportunities. We believe that one of our keys to success is to achieve customer satisfaction by, among others, demonstrating to our customers that their purchase orders are closely monitored and their requests and feedbacks are timely handled through our delegated sales and marketing team.

See “Use of Proceeds” on page 58 of this prospectus.

 

Competition

 

The personal care electrical appliance market is relatively fragmented subject to macro-economic cycles and the entry of new competitors. We are directly competing with other design and development offices in the industry and also with manufacturers who locate in South Asia.

 

Majority of our revenue was derived from sales to Japan markets. We anticipate that customer demand for our Company’s personal care electrical appliances going forward will be primarily affected by the demand and performance of Japan. However, our targeted costumer markets are expected to maintain a stable growth.

 

We mainly compete on product quality and research and development capabilities. We believe that we can compete effectively by virtue of our well-established relationship with our customers which are international brand owners, strong presence in the personal care electrical appliances industry, strong and established product design and development capabilities, quality assurance system and our experienced and dedicated management team.

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 HKD100,000,000 (approximately $12,900,000) 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.

 

Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (Chapter 485 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the MPFSO

 

The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (Chapter 485 of the Laws of Hong Kong), is an ordinance enacted for the purposes of providing for the establishment of non-governmental mandatory provident fund schemes, or the MPF Schemes. The MPFSO requires every employer of an employee of 18 years of age or above but under 65 years of age to take all practical steps to ensure the employee becomes a member of a registered MPF 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 or the requirement of paying mandatory contributions to the MPF Schemes commits a criminal offence and is liable on conviction to a fine and imprisonment.

 

Minimum Wage Ordinance (Chapter 608 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the MWO

 

The Minimum Wage Ordinance (Chapter 608 of the Laws of Hong Kong) provides for a prescribed minimum hourly wage rate (currently at HK$40 per hour) during the wage period for every employee engaged under a contract of employment under the EO. Any provision of the employment contract which purports to extinguish or reduce the right, benefit or protection conferred on the employee by the MWO is void.

 

Failure to pay minimum wage amounts to a breach of the wage provisions under EO. An employer who wilfully and without reasonable excuse fails to pay wages to an employee when it becomes due commits a criminal offence and is liable on conviction to a fine and imprisonment.

 

Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112 of the Laws of Hong Kong)

 

Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112 of the Laws of Hong Kong), 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 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.

 

Consumer Goods Safety Ordinance (Chapter 456 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the CGSO

 

The Consumer Goods Safety Ordinance (Chapter 456 of the Laws of Hong Kong) imposes a duty on manufacturers, importers and manufacturers of certain consumer goods to ensure that the consumer goods they supply are safe and for incidental purposes.

 

The Company’s products are regulated by the CGSO and the Consumer Goods Safety Regulation (Cap. 456A, Laws of Hong Kong) (the “Consumer Goods Safety Regulation”).

 

Section 4(1) of the CGSO requires consumer goods to be reasonably safe having regard to all of the circumstances including the manner in which, and the purpose for which the products are presented, promoted or marketed, the use of any mark in relation to the products, instructions and warnings given for the keeping or use of the products, reasonable safety standards published by a standards institute or other similar bodies and the existence of any reasonable means to make the products safer.

 

According to section 2(1) of the Consumer Goods Safety Regulation, where consumer goods on their packages are marked with, or where any labels affixed to or any documents enclosed in their packages contain, any warning or caution regarding the safe keeping, use, consumption or disposal, such warning or caution shall be in both the English and the Chinese languages. Such warnings and cautions, as required by section 2(2) of Consumer Goods Safety Regulation, shall be legible and be placed in a conspicuous position on (a) the consumer goods; (b) any package of the consumer goods; (c) a label security affixed to the package; or (d) a document enclosed in the package.

Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (Chapter 509 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the OSHO

 

The Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (Chapter 509 of the Laws of Hong Kong) aims to ensure the safety and health of employees when they are at work. Under the OSHO, an employer must ensure the safety and health of his workplace by (i) providing and maintaining plant and work systems that are safe and without risks to health, (ii) making arrangement for ensuring safety and health in connection with the use, handling, storage or transport of plant or substances, (iii) providing all necessary information, instruction, training and supervision for ensuring safety and health, (iv) providing and maintaining safe access to and egress from the workplace, and (v) providing and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment. An employer who fails to comply with the above may be liable on conviction to a fine and imprisonment, if he did so intentionally, knowingly or recklessly.

 

Occupational Safety and Health Regulation (Chapter 509A of the Laws of Hong Kong)

 

The Occupational Safety and Health Regulation (Chapter 509A of the Laws of Hong Kong) further sets out basic requirements for accident prevention, fire precaution, workplace environment control, hygiene at workplaces, first aid, as well as what employers and employees are expected to do in manual handling operations.

 

Tortious Duty Under Common Law

 

Apart from contractual liability, under common law, manufacturers, distributors and retailers of products also owe a duty of care to consumers and may be liable for damage resulting from defects in goods caused by their negligent acts or for any fraudulent misrepresentation made in the distributing and selling of goods. Where a manufacturer, distributor and retailer knows or reasonably believes that the products may be defective, he may have to cease to supply such goods and to give warning and instructions to persons to whom the products are supplied. Any person who undertakes to design, import or supply a product, and who negligently performs his work and causes damage to another person or property, will also attract civil liability.

 

Trade Description Ordinance (Chapter 362 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the TDO

 

The Trade Descriptions Ordinance (Chapter 362 of the Laws of Hong Kong) prohibits false trade descriptions, false, misleading or incomplete information, false statements, etc., in respect of goods offered in the course of trade. Therefore, all of the products sold by the Company are required to comply with the relevant provisions therein. Section 2 of the TDO provides, inter alia, that “trade description” in relation to goods means an indication, direct or indirect, and by whatever means given, of certain matters (including quantity, method of manufacture, composition, fitness for purpose, availability, compliance with a standard specified or recognized by any person, price, their being of the same kind as goods supplied to a person, price, place or date of manufacture, production, processing or reconditioning, person by whom manufactured, produced, processed or reconditioned, etc.), with respect to any goods or parts of the goods; and in relation to services means an indication, direct or indirect, and by whatever means given, of certain matters (including nature, scope, quantity, fitness for purpose, method and procedures, availability, the person by whom the service is supplied, after-sale service assistance, price etc.).

 

Section 7 of the TDO provides that no person shall in the course of trade or business apply a false trade description to any goods or sell or offer for sale any goods with false trade descriptions applied thereto. Section 7A of the TDO provides that a trader who applies a false trade description to a service supplied or offered to be supplied to a consumer, or supplies or offers to supply to a consumer a service to which a false trade description is applied, commits an offence.

 

Sections 13E, 13F, 13G, 13H and 13I of the TDO provide that a trader who engages in relation to a consumer in a commercial practice that (a) is a misleading omission; or (b) is aggressive; (c) constitutes bait advertising; (d) constitutes a bait and switch; or (e) constitutes wrongly accepting payment for a product, commits an offence.

 

A person who commits an offence under sections 7, 7A, 13E, 13F, 13G, 13H or 13I shall be subject, on conviction on indictment, to a fine of HK$500,000 and to imprisonment for 5 years, and on summary conviction, to a fine at HK$100,000 and to imprisonment for 2 years.

Trade Marks Ordinance (Chapter 559 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the TMO

 

The Trade Marks Ordinance (Chapter 559 of the Laws of Hong Kong) provides for the registration of trademarks, the use of registered trademarks and connected matters. Hong Kong provides territorial protection for trademarks. Therefore, trademarks registered in other countries or regions are not automatically entitled to protection in Hong Kong. In order to enjoy protection by the laws of Hong Kong, trademarks must be registered with the Trade Marks Registry of the Intellectual Property Department under the Trade Marks Ordinance and the Trade Marks Rules (Chapter 559A of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “Trade Marks Rules”).

 

According to section 10 of the TMO, a registered trademark is a property right acquired through due registration under such ordinance. The owner of a registered trademark is entitled to the rights provided by the ordinance.

 

By virtue of section 14 of the TMO, the owner of a registered trademark is conferred exclusive rights in the trademark. The rights of the owner in respect of the registered trademark come into existence from the date of the registration of the trademark. According to section 48 of such ordinance, the registration date is the filing date of the application for registration.

 

Subject to the exceptions in section 19 to section 21 of the TMO, any use of the trademark by third parties without the consent of the owner is an infringement of the trademark. Conducts which amount to infringement of the registered trademark are further specified in section 18 of the same ordinance.

 

Sale of Goods Ordinance (Chapter 26 of the Laws of Hong Kong)

 

The Sale of Goods Ordinance (Chapter 26 of the Laws of Hong Kong) provides, inter alia, that where a seller sells goods in the course of a business, there is an implied condition that (a) where the goods are purchased by description, the goods must correspond with the description; (b) the goods supplied are of merchantable quality; and (c) the goods must be fit for the purpose for which they are purchased. Otherwise, a buyer has the right to reject defective goods unless he or she has a reasonable opportunity to examine the goods.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

 

The Company’s board of directors will establish an audit committee, to be effective upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, which will be tasked with review and approval of all related party transactions.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

 

The Company was incorporated as a BVI business company under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on June 24, 2022. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company’s authorized shares consists of 8,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.00000625 per share. 

 

As of the date of this prospectus, there were 16,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

 

On May 10, 2023, the Company effectuated a forward split of the Ordinary Shares of the Company at a ratio of 160,000-for-1 to increase the Company’s authorized capital shares from 50,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of $1 per share to 8,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of $0.00000625 per share (“2023 Forward Split”). As a result of the 2023 Forward Split, the Company now has 16,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.

 

Ordinary Shares

 

General

 

All of the Company’s issued shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates evidencing the shares are issued in registered form. There are no limitations imposed by the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on the Company’s shares. In addition, there are no provisions in the Company’s memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

 

Under the BVI Act, the Ordinary Shares are deemed to be issued when the name of the shareholder is entered in the Company’s register of members. If (a) information that is required to be entered in the register of members is omitted from the register or is inaccurately entered in the register, or (b) there is unreasonable delay in entering information in the register, a shareholder of the company, or any person who is aggrieved by the omission, inaccuracy or delay, may apply to the British Virgin Islands Courts for an order that the register be rectified, and the court may either refuse the application or order the rectification of the register, and may direct the company to pay all costs of the application and any damages the applicant may have sustained.

 

Dividends

 

The holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by the Company’s board of directors subject to the BVI Act.

 

Voting Rights

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders must be effected at a duly called meeting of the shareholders entitled to vote on such action or may be effected by a resolution of members in writing, each in accordance with the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. At each meeting of shareholders, each shareholder who is present in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) will have one vote for each share that such shareholder holds.

 

Transfer of Ordinary Shares

 

Subject to the restrictions contained in the Company’s amended and restated articles of association, any of the Company’s shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by the Company’s board of directors.

  

101

 

 

Liquidation

 

As permitted by the BVI Act and the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Company may be voluntarily liquidated under Part XII of the BVI Act by resolution of directors and resolution of shareholders if the Company’s assets exceed the Company’s liabilities and the Company is able to pay the Company’s debts as they fall due. The Company may also be wound up in circumstances where the Company is insolvent in accordance with the terms of the BVI Insolvency Act (Law Revision 2020).

 

If the Company is wound up and the assets available for distribution among the Company’s shareholders are more than sufficient to repay all amounts paid to the Company on account of the issue of shares immediately prior to the winding up, the excess shall be distributable pari passu among those shareholders in proportion to the amount paid up immediately prior to the winding up on the shares held by them, respectively. If the Company is wound up and the assets available for distribution among the shareholders as such are insufficient to repay the whole of the amounts paid to the Company on account of the issue of shares, those assets shall be distributed so that, to the greatest extent possible, the losses shall be borne by the shareholders in proportion to the amounts paid up immediately prior to the winding up on the shares held by them, respectively. If the Company is wound up, the liquidator appointed by the Company may, in accordance with the BVI Act, divide among the Company’s shareholders in specie or kind the whole or any part of the Company’s assets (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may, for such purpose, set such value as the liquidator deems fair upon any property to be divided and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders. 

 

Calls on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares

 

The Company’s 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 clear days prior to the specified time of payment. The Ordinary Shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

 

Redemption of Ordinary Shares

 

Subject to the provisions of the BVI Act, the Company may issue shares on terms that are subject to redemption, at the Company’s option or at the option of the holders, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined by the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and subject to any applicable requirements imposed from time to time by the BVI Act, the SEC, the Nasdaq Capital Market, or by any recognized stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed.

 

Variations of Rights of Shares

 

If at any time the Company is authorized to issue more than one class of shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class of shares may be amended only with the consent in writing of or by a resolution passed at a meeting of not less than 50 percent of the shares of the class to be affected.

 

General Meetings of Shareholders

 

Under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, a copy of the notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be given not less than seven days before the date of the proposed meeting to those persons whose names appear as shareholders in the register of members on the date of the notice and are entitled to vote at the meeting. The Company’s board of directors shall call a meeting of shareholders upon the written request of shareholders holding at least 30% of the Company’s outstanding voting shares. In addition, the Company’s board of directors may call a meeting of shareholders on its own motion. A meeting of shareholders may be called on short notice if at least 90% of the shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered at the meeting have agreed to short notice of the meeting, or if all members holding shares entitled to vote on all or any matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice and presence at the meeting shall be deemed to constitute waiver for this purpose.

 

At any meeting of shareholders, a quorum will be present if there are shareholders present in person or by proxy representing not less than 50 percent of the shares entitled to vote on the resolutions to be considered at the meeting. Such quorum may be represented by only a single shareholder or proxy. If No quorum is present within two hours of the start time of the meeting, the meeting shall be dissolved if it was requested by shareholders. In any other case, the meeting shall be adjourned to the next business day, and if shareholders representing not less than one-third of the votes of the Ordinary Shares or each class of shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered at the meeting are present within one hour of the start time of the adjourned meeting, a quorum will be present. If not, the meeting will be dissolved. No business may be transacted at any meeting of shareholders unless a quorum is present at the commencement of business. If present, the chair of our board of directors shall be the chair presiding at any meeting of the shareholders. If the chair of our board is not present then the members present shall choose a shareholder to act to chair the meeting of the shareholders. If the shareholders are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting shares present in person or by proxy shall preside as chairman, failing which the oldest individual member or member representative shall take the chair.

 

102

 

 

A corporation that is a shareholder shall be deemed for the purpose of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to be present in person if represented by its duly authorized representative. This duly authorized representative shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were the Company’s individual shareholder.

 

Inspection of Books and Records

 

Under the BVI Act, members of the general public, on payment of a nominal fee, can obtain copies of the public records of a company available at the office of the Registrar of Corporate Affairs, which will include the company’s certificate of incorporation, its memorandum and articles of association (with any amendments) and records of license fees paid to date and will also disclose any articles of dissolution, articles of merger and a register of charges if the company has elected to file such a register.

 

A member of the Company is also entitled, upon giving written notice to the Company, to inspect (i) the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, (ii) the register of members, (iii) the register of directors and (iv) minutes of meetings and resolutions of members and of those classes of members of which that member is a member, and to make copies and take extracts from the documents and records referred to in (i) to (iv) above. However, the Company’s directors may, if they are satisfied that it would be contrary to the company’s interests to allow a member to inspect any document, or part of a document specified in (ii) to (iv) above, refuse to permit the member to inspect the document or limit the inspection of the document, including limiting the making of copies or the taking of extracts or records. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.” on page 126 of this prospectus. Where a company fails or refuses to permit a member to inspect a document or permits a member to inspect a document subject to limitations, that member may apply to the BVI court for an order that he should be permitted to inspect the document or to inspect the document without limitation. 

 

Changes in Capital

 

The Company may from time to time by resolution of shareholders or resolution of the Company’s board of directors, subject to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association:

 

  amend the Company’s memorandum and articles of association to increase or decrease the maximum number of shares the Company is authorized to issue;

 

  split the Company’s authorized and issued shares into a larger number of shares;

 

  combine the Company’s authorized and issued shares into a smaller number of shares; and

 

  create new classes of shares with preferences to be determined by resolution of the board of directors to amend the memorandum and articles of association to create new classes of shares with such preferences at the time of authorization.

 

Differences in Corporate Law

 

The BVI Act and the laws of the British Virgin Islands affecting British Virgin Islands companies like the Company and the Company’s shareholders differ from laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the laws of the British Virgin Islands applicable to the Company and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

 

Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, two or more companies may merge or consolidate in accordance with Section 170 of the BVI Act. A merger means the merging of two or more constituent companies into one of the constituent companies (the “surviving company”) and a consolidation means the uniting of two or more constituent companies into a new company (the “consolidated company”). The procedure for a merger or consolidation between the company and another company (which need not be a BVI company, and which may be the company’s parent or subsidiary, but need not be) is set out in the BVI Act. In order to merge or consolidate, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which with the exception of a merger between a parent company and its subsidiary, must also be approved by a resolution of a majority of the shareholders voting at a quorate meeting of shareholders or by written resolution of the shareholders of the BVI company or BVI companies which are to merge. While a director may vote on the plan of merger or consolidation, or any other matter, even if he has a financial interest in the plan, the interested director must disclose the interest to all other directors of the company promptly upon becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company. A transaction entered into by the Company in respect of which a director is interested (including a merger or consolidation) is voidable by the Company unless the director’s interest was (a) disclosed to the board prior to the transaction or (b) the transaction is (i) between the director and the company and (ii) the transaction is in the ordinary course of the company’s business and on usual terms and conditions. Notwithstanding the above, a transaction entered into by the company is not voidable if the material facts of the interest are known to the shareholders and they approve or ratify it or the company received fair value for the transaction. In any event, all shareholders must be given a copy of the plan of merger or consolidation irrespective of whether they are entitled to vote at the meeting to approve the plan of merger or consolidation. A foreign company which is able under the laws of its foreign jurisdiction to participate in the merger or consolidation is required by the BVI Act to comply with the laws of that foreign jurisdiction in relation to the merger or consolidation. The shareholders of the constituent companies are not required to receive shares of the surviving or consolidated company but may receive debt obligations or other securities of the surviving or consolidated company, other assets, or a combination thereof. Further, some or all of the shares of a class or series may be converted into a kind of asset while the other shares of the same class or series may receive a different kind of asset. As such, not all the shares of a class or series must receive the same kind of consideration. After the plan of merger or consolidation has been approved by the directors and authorized, if required, by a resolution of the shareholders, articles of merger or consolidation are executed by each company and filed with the Registrar of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands. The merger is effective on the date that the articles of merger are registered with the Registrar or on such subsequent date, not exceeding thirty days, as is stated in the articles of merger or consolidation.

 

As soon as a merger becomes effective: (a) the surviving company or consolidated company (so far as is consistent with its memorandum and articles of association, as amended or established by the articles of merger or consolidation) has all rights, privileges, immunities, powers, objects and purposes of each of the constituent companies; (b) in the case of a merger, the memorandum and articles of association of any surviving company are automatically amended to the extent, if any, that changes to its memorandum and articles of association are contained in the articles of merger or, in the case of a consolidation, the memorandum and articles of association filed with the articles of consolidation are the memorandum and articles of the consolidated company; (c) assets of every description, including choses-in-action and the business of each of the constituent companies, immediately vest in the surviving company or consolidated company; (d) the surviving company or consolidated company is liable for all claims, debts, liabilities and obligations of each of the constituent companies; (e) no conviction, judgment, ruling, order, claim, debt, liability or obligation due or to become due, and no cause existing, against a constituent company or against any member, director, officer or agent thereof, is released or impaired by the merger or consolidation; and (f) no proceedings, whether civil or criminal, pending at the time of a merger by or against a constituent company, or against any member, director, officer or agent thereof, are abated or discontinued by the merger or consolidation; but: (i) the proceedings may be enforced, prosecuted, settled or compromised by or against the surviving company or consolidated company or against the member, director, officer or agent thereof, as the case may be; or (ii) the surviving company or consolidated company may be substituted in the proceedings for a constituent company. The Registrar of Corporate Affairs shall strike off the register of companies each constituent company that is not the surviving company in the case of a merger and all constituent companies in the case of a consolidation. If the directors determine it to be in the best interests of the company, it is also possible for a merger to be approved as a Court approved plan of arrangement or scheme of arrangement in accordance with the BVI Act.

 

104

 

 

A shareholder may dissent from (a) a merger if the company is a constituent company, unless the company is the surviving company and the member continues to hold the same or similar shares; (b) a consolidation if the company is a constituent company; (c) any sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition of more than 50 per cent in value of the assets or business of the company if not made in the usual or regular course of the business carried on by the company but not including: (i) a disposition pursuant to an order of the court having jurisdiction in the matter, (ii) a disposition for money on terms requiring all or substantially all net proceeds to be distributed to the members in accordance with their respective interest within one year after the date of disposition, or (iii) a transfer pursuant to the power of the directors to transfer assets for the protection thereof; (d) a compulsory redemption of 10 per cent or fewer of the issued shares of the company required by the holders of 90 percent or more of the shares of the company pursuant to the terms of the BVI Act; and (e) a plan of arrangement, if permitted by the British Virgin Islands Court (each, an Action). A shareholder properly exercising his dissent rights is entitled to a cash payment equal to the fair value of his shares.

 

A shareholder dissenting from an Action must object in writing to the Action before the vote by the shareholders on the merger or consolidation, unless notice of the meeting was not given to the shareholder. If the merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the company must give notice of this fact to each shareholder within 20 days who gave written objection. Such objection shall include a statement that the member proposes to demand payment for his or her shares if the Action is taken. These shareholders then have 20 days to give to the company their written election in the form specified by the BVI Act to dissent from the Action, provided that in the case of a merger, the 20 days starts when the plan of merger is delivered to the shareholder. Upon giving notice of his election to dissent, a shareholder ceases to have any shareholder rights except the right to be paid the fair value of his shares. As such, the merger or consolidation may proceed in the ordinary course notwithstanding his dissent. Within seven days of the later of the delivery of the notice of election to dissent and the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the company shall make a written offer to each dissenting shareholder to purchase his shares at a specified price per share that the company determines to be the fair value of the shares. The company and the shareholder then have 30 days to agree upon the price. If the company and a shareholder fail to agree on the price within the 30 days, then the company and the shareholder shall, within 20 days immediately following the expiration of the 30-day period, each designate an appraiser and these two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser. These three appraisers shall fix the fair value of the shares as of the close of business on the day prior to the shareholders’ approval of the transaction without taking into account any change in value as a result of the transaction.

 

Shareholders’ Suits

 

There are both statutory and common law remedies available to the Company’s shareholders as a matter of British Virgin Islands law. These are summarized below.

 

Prejudiced members

 

A shareholder who considers that the affairs of the company have been, are being, or are likely to be, conducted in a manner that is, or any act or acts of the company have been, or are, likely to be oppressive, unfairly discriminatory or unfairly prejudicial to him in that capacity, can apply to the court under Section 184I of the BVI Act, inter alia, for an order that his shares be acquired, that he be provided compensation, that the Court regulate the future conduct of the company, or that any decision of the company which contravenes the BVI Act or the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association be set aside.

 

Derivative actions

 

Section 184C of the BVI Act provides that a shareholder of a company may, with the leave of the Court, bring an action in the name of the company in certain circumstances to redress any wrong done to it. Such actions are known as derivative actions. The BVI Court may only grant permission to bring a derivative action where the following circumstances apply:

 

  the company does not intend to bring, diligently continue or defend or discontinue proceedings; and

 

  it is in the interests of the company that the conduct of the proceedings not be left to the directors or to the determination of the shareholders as a whole.

 

105

 

 

When considering whether to grant leave, the British Virgin Islands Court is also required to have regard to the following matters:

 

  whether the shareholder is acting in good faith;

 

  whether a derivative action is in the company’s best interests, taking into account the directors’ views on commercial matters;

 

  whether the action is likely to proceed;

 

  the costs of the proceedings in relation to the relief likely to be obtained; and

 

  whether an alternative remedy is available.

 

Just and equitable winding up

 

In addition to the statutory remedies outlined above, shareholders can also petition the BVI Court for the winding up of a company under the BVI Insolvency Act (Law Revision 2020) for the appointment of a liquidator to liquidate the company and the court may appoint a liquidator for the company if it is of the opinion that it is just and equitable for the court to so order. Save in exceptional circumstances, this remedy is generally only available where the company has been operated as a quasi-partnership and trust and confidence between the partners has broken down.

 

Indemnification of directors and executive officers and limitation of liability

 

The Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that, subject to certain limitations, the Company indemnifies against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings for any person who:

 

  is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was the Company’s director; or

 

  is or was, at the Company’s request, serving as a director or officer of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

 

These indemnities only apply if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the Company’s best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful and is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the memorandum and articles of association, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company’s directors, officers or persons controlling the Company under the foregoing provisions, the Company 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.

 

106

 

 

Anti-takeover provisions in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association

 

Some provisions of the Company’s amended and restated articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company or management that shareholders may consider favorable. Under the BVI Act there are no provisions which specifically prevent the issuance of preferred shares or any such other ‘poison pill’ measures. The amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company also does not contain any express prohibitions on the issuance of any preferred shares. Therefore, the directors without the approval of the holders of Ordinary Shares may issue preferred shares that have characteristics that may be deemed to be anti-takeover. Additionally, such a designation of shares may be used in connection with plans that are poison pill plans. However, under British Virgin Islands law, the Company’s directors in the exercise of their powers granted to them under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and performance of their duties, are required to act honestly and in good faith in what the director believes to be in the best interests of the Company’s company.

 

Directors’ fiduciary duties

 

Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction.

 

The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he 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. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

 

Under British Virgin Islands law, the Company’s directors owe fiduciary duties both at common law and under statute including, among others, a statutory duty to act honestly, in good faith, for a proper purpose and with a view to what the directors believe to be in the best interests of the company. The Company’s directors are also required, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonable director would exercise in comparable circumstances, taking into account without limitation, the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the position of the director and the nature of the responsibilities undertaken. In the exercise of their powers, the Company’s directors must ensure neither they nor the company acts in a manner which contravenes the BVI Act or the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. A shareholder has the right to seek damages for breaches of duties owed to the Company by the Company’s directors.

 

Pursuant to the BVI Act and the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, a director of a company who has an interest in a transaction and who has declared such interest to the other directors, may:

 

  (a) vote on a matter relating to the transaction;

 

  (b) attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and

 

  (c) sign a document on behalf of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction.

 

In certain limited circumstances, a shareholder has the right to seek various remedies against the company in the event the directors are in breach of their duties under the BVI Act. Pursuant to Section 184B of the BVI Act, if a company or director of a company engages in, or proposes to engage in or has engaged in, conduct that contravenes the provisions of the BVI Act or the memorandum or articles of association of the company, the British Virgin Islands Court may, on application of a shareholder or director of the company, make an order directing the company or director to comply with, or restraining the company or director from engaging in conduct that contravenes the BVI Act or the memorandum or articles. Furthermore, pursuant to section 184I(1) of the BVI Act, a shareholder of a company who considers that the affairs of the company have been, are being or are likely to be, conducted in a manner that is, or any acts of the company have been, or are likely to be oppressive, unfairly discriminatory, or unfairly prejudicial to him in that capacity, may apply to the British Virgin Islands Court for an order which, inter alia, can require the company or any other person to pay compensation to the shareholders.

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. British Virgin Islands law provides that, subject to the memorandum and articles of association of a company, an action that may be taken by members of the company at a meeting may also be taken by a resolution of members consented to in writing.

 

Shareholder proposals

 

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. British Virgin Islands law and the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association allow the Company’s shareholders holding 30% or more of the votes of the outstanding voting shares to requisition a shareholders’ meeting. There is no requirement under BVI law to hold shareholders’ annual general meetings, but the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do permit the directors to call such a meeting. The location of any shareholders’ meeting can be determined by the board of directors and can be held anywhere in the world.

 

Cumulative voting

 

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under British Virgin Islands law, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, the Company’s shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

 

Removal of directors

 

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, directors can be removed from office, with or without cause, by a resolution of shareholders passed at a meeting of the shareholders called for the purposes of removing the director or for purposes including the removal of the director or by a written resolution passed by at least 75 percent of the votes of the shareholders entitled to vote. Directors can also be removed by a resolution of directors passed at a meeting of directors called for the purpose of removing the director or for purposes including the removal of the director.

 

Transactions with interested shareholders

 

The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, 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 group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting shares within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware public corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors. British Virgin Islands law has no comparable statute and the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association does not provide for the same protection afforded by the Delaware business combination statute.

 

108

 

 

Dissolution; Winding Up

 

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. Under the BVI Act and the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Company may appoint a voluntary liquidator by a resolution of the shareholders, provided that the directors have made a declaration of solvency that the company is able to discharge its debts as they fall due and that the value of the company’s assets exceed its liabilities.

 

Variation of rights of shares

 

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if at any time the Company’s shares are divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class may only be varied, whether or not the Company is in liquidation, with the consent in writing of or by a resolution passed at a meeting by a majority of the votes cast by those entitled to vote at a meeting of the holders of the issued shares in that class. For these purposes the creation, designation or issue of shares with rights and privileges ranking pari passu to an existing class of shares is deemed not to be a variation of the rights of such existing class and may in accordance with the Company’s memorandum and articles of association be effected by resolution of directors without shareholder approval.

  

Amendment of governing documents

 

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by British Virgin Islands law, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may be amended by a resolution of shareholders and, subject to certain exceptions, by a resolution of directors. An amendment is effective from the date it is registered at the Registry of Corporate Affairs in the British Virgin Islands.

 

Anti-Money Laundering Laws

 

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

 

The Company reserves the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, the Company 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.

 

If any person resident in the British Virgin Islands knows or suspects that another person is engaged in money laundering or terrorist financing and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of their business the person will be required to report his belief or suspicion to the Financial Investigation Agency of the British Virgin Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Criminal Conduct Act (Law Revision 2020). 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.

 

109

 

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Before Raytech Holding’s initial public offering, there has not been a public market for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, and although the Company intends to apply for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, a regular trading market for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may not develop. Future sales of substantial amounts of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the public market after Raytech Holding’s initial public offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could cause the prevailing market price for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares to fall or impair Raytech Holding’s ability to raise equity capital in the future. Upon completion of this offering, the Company will have 19,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, assuming that the underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option. All of the Ordinary Shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable by persons other than Raytech Holding’s “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.

 

Lock-Up Agreements 

 

The Company has agreed not to, for a period of three (3) months from the closing date of this offering, (i) offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of, except in this offering, any of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares or securities that are substantially similar to Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, including but not limited to any options or warrants to purchase Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares or any such substantially similar securities (other than pursuant to employee stock option plans existing on, or upon the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities outstanding as of, the date such lock-up agreement was executed); or (ii) file or caused to be filed any registration statement relating to the offering of any of its Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable its Ordinary Shares, without the prior written consent of the representatives of the Underwriters.

 

Furthermore, each of Raytech Holding’s directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders (5% or more shareholders, except the selling shareholders set forth in the Resale Prospectus) of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares has also entered into a similar lock-up agreement for a period of six (6) months from the effective date of this registration statement, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and securities that are substantially similar to Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. See “Underwriting” beginning on page 117 of this prospectus for more information.

 

The Company is not aware of any plans by any significant shareholders to dispose of significant numbers of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. However, one or more existing shareholders or owners of securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may dispose of significant numbers of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the future. The Company cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, or the availability of Ordinary Shares for future sale, will have on the trading price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the trading price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares.

 

Rule 144

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  1% of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding, in the form of Ordinary Shares or otherwise; or

 

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

 

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

 

Rule 701

 

In general, under Rule 701 of the Securities Act as currently in effect, each of Raytech Holding’s employees, consultants, or advisors who purchases Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares from the Company 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. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

 

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.

TAXATION  

 

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Applicable to U.S. Holders of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of Raytech Holding’s 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 Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares.

 

RAYTECH HOLDING URGES POTENTIAL PURCHASERS OF RAYTECH HOLDING’S ORDINARY SHARES TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF RAYTECH HOLDING’S ORDINARY SHARES.

 

The following does not address the tax consequences to any particular investor or to persons in special tax situations such as:

 

  banks;

 

  financial institutions;

 

  insurance companies;

 

  pension plans;

 

  cooperatives;

 

  regulated investment companies;

 

  real estate investment trusts;

 

  broker-dealers;

 

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

 

  U.S. expatriates;

 

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

 

111

 

 

  tax-exempt entities (including private foundations);

 

  persons liable for alternative minimum tax;

 

  persons holding Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or integrated transaction;

 

  persons that actually or constructively own 10% (by vote or value) or more of Raytech Holding’s voting shares (including by reason of owning Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares);

 

  persons who acquired Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation;

 

  persons holding Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities;

 

  events, hip-hop, and marketing industries investment trusts;

 

  governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

 

  beneficiaries of a Trust holding Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares; or

 

  persons holding Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares through a trust.

 

All of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those discussed below.

 

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 Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares.

 

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares

 

Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, the gross amount of distributions made by the Company 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 Raytech Holding’s 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 Raytech Holding is eligible for the benefits of an approved qualifying income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program, (2) Raytech Holding is not a PFIC for either Raytech Holding’s 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 BVI, 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 the Nasdaq Capital Market. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, including the effects of any change in law after the date of this prospectus.

 

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

 

To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds Raytech Holding’s 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. Raytech Holding does not intend to calculate Raytech Holding’s 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.

 

112

 

 

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 will be eligible for reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss that you recognize will generally be treated as United States source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

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

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information. Raytech Holding does 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 Raytech Holding’s 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.

 

Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”)

 

Based on Raytech Holding’s current and anticipated operations and the composition of Raytech Holding’s assets, Raytech Holding was not a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ended March 31, 2022 and the taxable year ended March 31, 2021. Depending on the amount of cash Raytech Holding raises in this offering, together with any other assets held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, for Raytech Holding’s taxable year ending March 31, 2024 (Raytech Holding’s current taxable year) or for any subsequent year, more than 50% of Raytech Holding’s assets may be assets which produce passive income, in which case Raytech Holding would be deemed a PFIC, which could have adverse US federal income tax consequences for US taxpayers who are shareholders. Raytech Holding will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. PFIC status is a factual determination for each taxable year which cannot be made until the close of the taxable year. A non-U.S. corporation is considered a PFIC, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the US Internal Revenue Code, for any taxable year if either:

 

  at least 75% of its gross income 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”).

 

Raytech Holding will be treated as owning Raytech Holding’s proportionate share of the assets and earning Raytech Holding’s proportionate share of income of any other corporation in which Raytech Holding owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% (by value) of the stock.

 

113

 

 

Raytech Holding must make a separate determination each year as to whether Raytech Holding is a PFIC, however, and there can be no assurance with respect to Raytech Holding’s status as a PFIC for Raytech Holding’s current taxable year or any future taxable year. Depending on the amount of cash Raytech Holding raises in this offering, together with any other assets held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, for Raytech Holding’s current taxable year or for any subsequent taxable year, more than 50% of Raytech Holding’s assets may be assets held for the production of passive income. Raytech Holding will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. In addition, because the value of Raytech Holding’s assets for purposes of the asset test will generally be determined based on the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and because cash is generally considered to be an asset held for the production of passive income, Raytech Holding’s PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares and the amount of cash Raytech Holding raises in this offering. Accordingly, fluctuations in the market price of the Ordinary Shares may cause Raytech Holding to become a PFIC. In addition, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects and the composition of Raytech Holding’s income and assets will be affected by how, and how quickly, Raytech Holding spends the cash Raytech Holding raises in this offering. Raytech Holding is under no obligation to take steps to reduce the risk of Raytech Holding’s being classified as a PFIC, and as stated above, the determination of the value of Raytech Holding’s assets will depend upon material facts (including the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares from time to time and the amount of cash Raytech Holding raises in this offering) that may not be within Raytech Holding’s control. If Raytech Holding is a PFIC for any year during which you hold Ordinary Shares, Raytech Holding will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which you hold Ordinary Shares. If Raytech Holding ceases to be a PFIC and you did not previously make a timely “mark-to-market” election as described below, however, 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 Raytech Holding is a PFIC for any taxable year 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 the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which was were a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income,

 

  the amount allocated to each other year 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, and
     
  ●  An additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the tax attributable to each prior taxable year, other than a pre-PFIC 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 the Ordinary Shares, you will include in 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 your taxable year over your adjusted basis in such Ordinary Shares. You are allowed a deduction 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, deductions are 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 the deductible portion of any mark-to-market loss on the Ordinary Shares, as well as 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 Raytech Holding, except that the lower applicable capital gains rate for qualified dividend income discussed above under “— Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on Raytech Holding’s 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 the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Ordinary Shares are regularly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market and if you are a holder of Ordinary Shares, the mark-to-market election would be available to you were Raytech Holding 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 under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Raytech Holding does not currently intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable you to make a qualified electing fund election. Therefore, you should not expect to be eligible to make this election.

 

If you do not make a timely “mark-to-market” election (as described above), and if Raytech Holding was a PFIC at any time during the period you hold Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, then such Ordinary Shares will continue to be treated as stock of a PFIC with respect to you even if Raytech Holding ceases to be a PFIC in a future year, unless you make a “purging election” for the year Raytech Holding ceases 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 Raytech Holding is 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 Raytech Holding is 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. IRC Section 1014(a) provides for a step-up in basis to the fair market value for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares when inherited from a decedent that was previously a holder of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. However, if Raytech Holding is determined to be a PFIC and a decedent that was a U.S. Holder did not make either a timely qualified electing fund election for Raytech Holding’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, or a mark-to-market election and ownership of those Ordinary Shares are inherited, a special provision in IRC Section 1291(e) provides that the new U.S. Holder’s basis should be reduced by an amount equal to the Section 1014 basis minus the decedent’s adjusted basis just before death. As such if Raytech Holding is determined to be a PFIC at any time prior to a decedent’s passing, the PFIC rules will cause any new U.S. Holder that inherits Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares from a U.S. Holder to not get a step-up in basis under Section 1014 and instead will receive a carryover basis in those Ordinary Shares.

 

If you hold Ordinary Shares in any year in which Raytech Holding is classified as a PFIC, you will be required to file IRS Form 8621 and to 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. The failure to file IRS Form 8621 could result in the imposition of penalties and the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to U.S. federal income tax.

 

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

 

Hong Kong Profits Taxation

 

Raytech Holding’s subsidiary, Pure Beauty, is a Hong Kong entity subject to the two-tier profit tax rates system according to Hong Kong tax rules and regulations.

 

The two-tier profits tax rates system was introduced under the Inland Revenue (Amendment)(No.3) Ordinance 2018 (the “Ordinance”) of Hong Kong became effective for the assessment year 2018/2019. Under the two-tier profit tax rates regime, the profits tax rate for the first HKD 2 million (US$254,780) of assessable profits of a corporation will be subject to the lowered tax rate, 8.25% while the remaining assessable profits will be subject to the legacy tax rate, 16.5%. The Ordinance only allows one entity within a group of “connected entities” is eligible for the two-tier tax rate benefit. An entity is a connected entity of another entity if (1) one of them has control over the other; (2) both of them are under the control (more than 50% of the issued share capital) of the same entity; (3) in the case of the first entity being a natural person carrying on a sole proprietorship business-the other entity is the same person carrying on another sole proprietorship business. Under the Ordinance, it is an entity’s election to nominate an entity that will be subject to the two-tier profits tax rate on its Profits Tax Return. The election is irrevocable.

 

Pure Beauty elected the two-tier profits tax rate for its tax years of 2020/2021 and 2021/2022.

The Company and all distributions, interest and other amounts paid by the Company to persons who are not tax resident in the British Virgin Islands will not be subject to any income, withholding or capital gains taxes in the British Virgin Islands, with respect to the Ordinary Shares in the Company owned by them and dividends received on such shares, nor will they be subject to any estate or inheritance taxes in the British Virgin Islands.

There are currently no withholding taxes or exchange control regulations in the British Virgin Islands applicable to the Company or its shareholders.

 

There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the British Virgin Islands or between Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands.

 

British Virgin Islands Economic Substance Legislation

 

The British Virgin Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, has introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the European Union (the “EU”) as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. With effect from January 1, 2019, the Economic Substance (Companies and Limited Partnerships) Act, 2018 (the “ES Act”) came into force in the British Virgin Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for in-scope British Virgin Islands entities which are engaged in certain “relevant activities”.

 

Although it is presently anticipated that the ES Act will have little material impact on the Company or its operations, as the legislation is relatively new and remains subject to further clarification and interpretation, it is not currently possible to ascertain the precise impact of these legislative changes on the Company.

 

British Virgin Islands Data Protection Act

 

The Data Protection Act, 2021 (the “BVI DPA”) came into force in the British Virgin Islands on 9 July 2021. The BVI DPA establishes a framework of rights and duties designed to safeguard individuals’ personal data, balanced against the need of public authorities, businesses and organizations to collect and use personal data for lawful purposes. The BVI DPA is centered around seven data protection principles (the General Principle, the Notice and Choice Principle, the Disclosure Principle, the Security Principle, the Retention Principle, the Data Protection Principle and the Access Principle) which require that:

 

personal data must not be processed without consent unless specific conditions are met and must not be transferred outside the British Virgin Islands, unless there is proof of adequate data protection safeguards or consent from the data subject;

 

Where consent has been given to processing of personal data, the data subject may at any time withdraw his or her consent;

 

a data controller must inform a data subject of specific matters, for instance the purposes for which it is being collected and further processed;

 

personal data must not be disclosed for any purpose other than the purpose for which it was to be disclosed at the time of collection or a purpose directly related thereto or to any party other than a third party of a class previously notified to the data subject;

 

a data controller shall, when processing personal data, take practical steps to protect personal data from loss, misuse, modification, unauthorized or accidental access or disclosure, alteration or destruction;

 

personal data must not be kept for longer than is necessary for the purpose;

 

personal data must be accurate, complete, not misleading and kept up to date; and

 

a data subject must be given access to his or her own personal data and be able to correct that data where it is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or not up to date, except where a request for such access or correction is refused under the BVI DPA.

 

The BVI DPA imposes specific obligations on data controllers, including the duty to (i) apply the data protection principles; and (ii) respond in a timely fashion to requests from data subjects in relation to their personal data.

 

The Information Commissioner is the regulator responsible for the proper functioning and enforcement of the BVI DPA. Offences under the BVI DPA include

 

processing sensitive personal data in contravention of the BVI DPA;

 

willfully obstructing the Information Commissioner or an authorized officer in the conduct of his or her duties and functions;

 

willfully disclosing personal information in contravention of the BVI DPA; and

 

collecting, storing or disposing of personal information in a manner that contravenes the BVI DPA.

 

Offences committed under the BVI DPA may result in fines (up to US$500,000 in certain cases) or imprisonment. Further, a data subject who suffers damage or distress as a result of their data being processed in contravention of the DPA may institute civil proceedings in the British Virgin Islands courts.

No Public Market

 

Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for Raytech Holding’s securities in the U.S. and the public offering price for Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares will be determined through negotiations between Raytech Holding and the underwriter.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares during and after this offering, including:

 

  stabilizing transactions;
     
  short sales;
     
  purchases to cover positions created by short sales;
     
  imposition of penalty bids; and
     
  syndicate covering transactions.

 

Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares while this offering is in progress. Stabilization transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. These transactions may also include making short sales of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares, which involve the sale by the underwriter of a greater number of Ordinary Shares than they are required to purchase in this offering and purchasing Ordinary Shares on the open market to cover short positions created by short sales. Short sales may be “covered short sales,” which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares referred to above, or may be “naked short sales,” which are short positions in excess of that amount.

 

The underwriter may close out any covered short position by purchasing shares in the open market.

 

Naked short sales are short sales made in excess of the over-allotment option. The underwriter 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 underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Ordinary Shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchased in this offering.

 

The underwriter also may impose a penalty bid. This permits the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the Ordinary Shares originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

 

These stabilizing transactions, short sales, purchases to cover positions created by short sales, the imposition of penalty bids and syndicate covering transactions may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares. As a result of these activities, the price of Raytech Holding’s Ordinary Shares may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriter may carry out these transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. Neither Raytech Holding nor the underwriter makes any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the shares. Neither Raytech Holding, nor the underwriter makes any representation that the underwriter will engage in these stabilization transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

  the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the underwriter;
     
  Raytech Holding’s history and prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which Raytech Holding competes;

  the general condition of the securities market at the time of this offering;

 

  the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded shares of generally comparable companies; and
     
  other factors deemed relevant by the underwriter and Raytech Holding.

 

The estimated public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this preliminary prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
  Raytech Holding Limited

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

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

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our 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 our 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 consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

 

Basis of presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Principles of consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary. All inter-company transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the valuation of accounts receivable, useful lives of property and equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets and implicit interest rate of operating leases. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

Economic and political risks

 

The Company’s operations are mainly conducted in Hong Kong. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by changes in the political, economic, and legal environments in Hong Kong.

 

The Company’s operations in Hong Kong are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in Hong Kong, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices (cont.)

 

Inflation Risk

 

Management monitors changes in price levels. Historically inflation has not materially impacted the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements; however, significant increases in the price of raw materials and labor that cannot be passed to the Company’s customers could adversely impact Company’s results of operations.

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted consumer spending and global supply chains, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. We have experienced some resulting disruptions to our business operations, and we expect the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial performance.

 

Due to the ongoing recession caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company’s business is likely to be adversely impacted. The effects of recession can also increase economic instability with our vendors and customers.

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company uses Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) as its reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiary which is incorporated in Hong Kong is HKD, which is its respective local currency based on the criteria of ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters”.

 

In the consolidated financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are measured and recorded in the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. All gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions are recorded in the consolidated statements of income during the year in which they occur.

 

Convenience translation

 

Translations of amounts in the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows from HKD into US$ as of and for the year ended March 31, 2023 are solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the noon buying rate of US$1 = HKD7.8499, as published in H.10 statistical release of the United States Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the HKD amounts could have been, or could be, converted, realized or settled into US$ at such rate or at any other rate.

 

Cash

 

Cash mainly represent cash at bank and demand deposits which have original maturities less than three months and are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use. As of March 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. The Company maintains its bank accounts in Hong Kong.

 

Accounts receivable, net

 

Accounts receivable are recorded and carried at the original invoiced amount less an allowance for any potential uncollectible amounts.

 

The Company make estimates of expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses and allowance for unbilled receivables based upon our assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. The provision is recorded against accounts receivable balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of income. Actual amounts received may differ from management’s estimate of credit worthiness and the economic environment. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

 

Provision for doubtful accounts was nil and nil as of March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices (cont.)

 

Merchandise inventories, net

 

Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, on a weighted average basis. Costs include mainly the cost of merchandise inventories. Any excess of the cost over the net realizable value of each item of merchandise inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of merchandise inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to sell products. The Company periodically evaluates merchandise inventories for their net realizable value adjustments and reduces the carrying value of those merchandise inventories that are obsolete or in excess of the forecasted usage to their estimated net realizable value based on various factors including aging and expiration dates, as applicable, taking into consideration historical and expected future product sales. For the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, no merchandise inventory reserve was recorded because no slow-moving, obsolete, or damaged merchandise inventory was identified.

 

Prepayments

 

Prepayments primarily consists of prepaid rent. These amounts are refundable and bear no interest. Management reviews its prepayments on a regular basis to determine if the allowance is adequate and adjusts the allowance when necessary. As of March 31, 2022 and 2023, no allowance was deemed necessary.

 

Deferred initial public offering (“IPO”) costs

 

Pursuant to ASC 340-10-S99-1, IPO costs directly attributable to an offering of equity securities are deferred and would be charged against the gross proceeds of the offering as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. These costs include legal fees related to the registration drafting and counsel, consulting fees related to the registration preparation, the SEC filing and print related costs. As of March 31, 2023, the Company did not conclude its IPO. During the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a charge of HKD3,176,871 (US$404,702) related to the IPO. As of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the accumulated deferred IPO costs was Nil and HKD3,176,871 (US$404,702), respectively.

 

Long-term deposits

 

Long-term deposits are mainly for rent, utilities and money deposited with certain manufacturers. These amounts are refundable and bear no interest. The long-term deposits are refunded from manufacturers when the terms and conditions set forth in the agreements have been satisfied.

 

Property and equipment, net

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment if applicable. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method after consideration of the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

    Useful Life
Office equipment   2 years
Office furniture and fixtures   2 years
Leasehold improvements   lesser of lease term or expected useful life

 

The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise retired are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the statements of operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred, while additions, renewals and betterment, which are expected to extend the useful life of assets, are capitalized. The Company also re-evaluates the periods of depreciation to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.

 

Impairment for long-lived assets

 

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

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices (cont.)

 

Fair value measurement

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at face value or cost, which approximate fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rates of interest.

 

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liability, and operating lease liability, non-current in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When determining the lease term, the Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option, if any. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company has elected to adopt the following lease policies in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02: (i) for leases that have lease terms of 12 months or less and does not include a purchase option that is reasonably certain to exercise, the Company elected not to apply ASC 842 recognition requirements; and (ii) the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients for existing arrangements entered into prior to April 1, 2020 to not reassess (a) whether an arrangement is or contains a lease, (b) the lease classification applied to existing leases, and(c) initial direct costs.

 

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. For certain services, customers are required to pay before the services are delivered. The Company recognizes a contract asset or a contract liability in the consolidated balance sheets, depending on the relationship between the Group’s performance and the customer’s payment.

 

The Company classifies its right to consideration in exchange for services transferred to a customer as either a receivable or a contract asset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional as compared to a contract asset which is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. The Company recognizes accounts receivable in its consolidated balance sheets when it performs a service in advance of receiving consideration and if it has the unconditional right to receive consideration. The Company did not have any capitalized contract cost as of March 31, 2022 and 2023.

 

Contract liabilities are recognized if the Company receives consideration in advance of performance, which is mainly in relation to emerging and other services. The Company expects to recognize a significant majority of this balance as revenue over the next 12 months, and the remainder thereafter. As of March 31, 2022 and 2023, the contract liabilities of the Company amounted to nil and HKD1,705,854 (US$217,309), respectively.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices (cont.)

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized using the five-step model defined by ASC Topic 606 requires the Company to (1) identify its contracts with customers, (2) identify its performance obligations under those contracts, (3) determine the transaction prices of those contracts, (4) allocate the transaction prices to its performance obligations in those contracts and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation under those contracts is satisfied. Revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for those goods or services.

 

Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Control is the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the specified goods and services.

 

The Company currently generates its revenue through sourcing and wholesaling of Japanese beauty products, as well as personal care products and other products, through distribution network to Japan market. Currently, the Company sells its products through sourcing and wholesale customers. The Company sells goods under Free On Board (“FOB”) shipping point term, and revenue is recognized when product is loaded on the ships and control is deemed as transferred. Typical payment terms set forth in the invoice is within 30 days.

 

Tooling revenue is earned from manufacturing multiple tools, molds and assembly equipment as part of a tooling program for a customer. Given that the Company is providing a significant service of producing highly interdependent component parts of the tooling program, each component does not generate standalone values. It must be a completed mold so the customer can benefit from the purchased. Based on the arrangement with the customer, the Company recognizes revenue at a point in time. In such cases, the Company recognizes revenue at the evidence transfer of control.

 

The Company is the principal for the majority of its transactions and recognizes revenue on a gross basis. The Company is the principal when it has control of the merchandise before it is transferred to customers, which generally is established when the Company is primarily responsible for merchandising decisions, maintains the relationship with customer, and has pricing discretion.

 

Merchandise costs

 

Cost of sales of beauty products, personal care products and other products, which are directly related to revenue-generating transactions, primarily consist of cost of purchasing of products.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of motor vehicle running expenses, travelling and entertainment and general administrative expenses such as of staff costs, rental expenses, depreciation, legal and professional fees and other miscellaneous administrative expenses.

 

Employee Benefit

 

Hong Kong Employment Ordinance (“The Ordinance”) requires an employee employed under a continuous employment contract is entitled to sickness allowance if (1) the sick leave taken is not less than four consecutive days; (2) the sick leave take is supported by an appropriate medical certificate; and (3) the employee has accumulated sufficient number of paid sickness days. The daily rate of sickness allowance is a sum equivalent to four-fifths of the average daily wages earned by an employee in the 12-month period preceding the first sickness day.

 

The Ordinance also requires an employee is entitled to 12 statutory holidays regardless of his or her length of services. Holiday pay should be paid the employee whose continuous employment contract is not less than three months immediately preceding a statutory holiday is entitled to the holiday pay.

Employee Benefit (cont.) 

 

An employee is entitled to a paid annual leave after having been employed under a continuous employment contract for every 12 months. An employee’s paid annual leave increases progressively from 7 days to a maximum of 14 days in accordance with his or her length of employment.

 

Under Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, an employer shall enroll their regular employees in Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes. Regular employees are those who are at between 18 and 65 years of age and have been employed for consecutive 60 days or more. An employer is required to make regular mandatory contributions at least 5% of the employee’s monthly income between HKD7,000 and HKD30,000 and HKD1,500 of the employee’s monthly income over HKD30,000.

 

Government Grant

 

Government grant which is amount granted by local government authorities as an incentive for companies to develop, upgrade and restructure operation, promote domestic sales and enhance competitiveness and facilitate business development. The Company receives government grant related to government sponsored projects and records such government grants as a liability when it is received. The Company records government grant as other income when there is no further performance obligation. Total government grant amounted to HKD452,250 and nil (US$nil) for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively

 

Income taxes

 

Raytech is not subject to tax on income or capital gains under the current laws of the British Virgin Islands. In addition, upon payments of dividends by Raytech and the Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong, Pure Beauty to the Company’s shareholders, no British Virgin Islands withholding tax will be imposed.

 

Pure Beauty is incorporated in and carry trade and business in Hong Kong and is subject to Hong Kong profits tax under Inland Revenue Department Ordinance.

 

The charge for taxation is based on actual results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed; and it is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The Group is not currently subject to tax in the British Virgin Islands.

 

Deferred income taxes are recognized when temporary differences exist between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to 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. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred. No significant penalties or interest relating to income taxes have been incurred during the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023.

Related parties

 

Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company 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. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder, or a related corporation.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company are subject to contingencies, including legal proceedings and claims arising out of the business that relate to a wide range of matters, such as government investigations and tax matters. The Company recognizes a liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred, and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company may consider many factors in making these assessments including historical and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.

 

Earnings per share

 

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average ordinary share outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, there were no dilutive shares.

 

Concentration of Risks

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and account receivable. The Company places its cash with financial institutions with high-credit ratings and quality.

 

Accounts receivable primarily comprise of amounts receivable from the service customers. To reduce credit risk, the Company performs on-going credit evaluations of the financial condition of these service customers. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful accounts based upon estimates, factors surrounding the credit risk of specific service customers and other information.

 

Concentration of customers

 

As of March 31, 2022, one major customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 96.8% of the Company’s total accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2023, one customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 99.6% of the Company’s total accounts receivable.

  

For the year ended March 31, 2022, one major customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 97.8% of the Company’s total revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2023, one major customer, who is a distributor represent and sell brands of well-known manufactures from Japan and abroad, accounted for 91.3% of the Company’s total revenues.

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 consolidated financial statements for detailing the Company’s business segments. Based on the criteria established by ASC 280, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. As a whole and hence, the Company has only one reportable segment. The Company does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. As the Company’s long-lived assets are substantially located in Hong Kong, no geographical segments are presented.

 

Recently issued 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.

 

On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income taxes (Topic 740), Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance amends ASC Topic 740 and addresses several aspects including 1) evaluation of step-up tax basis of goodwill when there is not a business combination, 2) policy election to not allocate consolidated taxes on a separate entity basis to entities not subject to income tax, 3) accounting for tax law changes or rates during interim periods, 4) ownership changes from equity method investment to subsidiary or vice versa, 5) elimination of exception to intrapetrous allocation when there is gain in discontinued operations and a loss from continuing operations, and 6) treatment of franchise taxes that are partially based on income. The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements (cont.)

 

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs”. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. ASU 2020-08 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. All entities should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. These amendments do not change the effective dates for Update 2017-08. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, “Codification Improvements”. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification or correct unintended application of guidance that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The amendments in this Update affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. ASU 2020-10 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update will generally result in an entity recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at amounts consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date rather than at fair value. The new standard is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. This standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023 and the Company does not expect a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. However, the ultimate impact is dependent upon the size and frequency of future acquisitions.

 

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows.

Note 3 — Revenue

 

Effective April 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which replaced ASC Topic 605, using the modified retrospective method of adoption. Results for reporting periods beginning after April 1, 2020 are presented under ASC Topic 606 while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be presented under the Company’s historic accounting under ASC Topic 605. The Company’s accounting for revenues remains substantially unchanged. There were no cumulative effect adjustments made to the contracts in place prior to July 1, 2019. The effect from the adoption of ASC Topic 606 was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 10 — EQUITY

 

Ordinary shares

 

On August 2, 2022, 100 ordinary shares of the Company were issued to the participating shareholders in connection with the restructuring of the Company.

 

On May 10, 2023, the Company effected a share split of all issued and outstanding shares of 100 shares at a ratio of 1-to-160,000. As a result of the share split, the Company now has 16,000,000 common shares issued and outstanding as of the date hereof. The Company believed it is appropriate to reflect the above transactions on a retroactive basis similar to a share split or dividend pursuant to ASC 260. All references made to share or per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and applicable disclosures have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 160,000 for 1 share split.

 

Dividend

 

During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company declared and paid HKD1,558,000 (US$198,915) to its shareholder on December 31, 2021. The dividend per share was HKD 0.10 (US$0.01).

 

During the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company has not declared any dividend.

 

Note 11 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Lease Commitments

 

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. US GAAP requires that the Company’s leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option which results in an economic penalty.

 

The Company has two property lease agreements with lease terms ranging for one year and two years, respectively. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, no right-of-use (“ROU”) assets nor lease liability was recorded for the lease with a lease term with one year.

Preliminary Prospectus SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 27, 2023

 

RAYTECH HOLDING LIMITED

 

1,920,000 Ordinary Shares

 

This Resale Prospectus relates to the resale of 1,920,000 Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Ordinary Shares by the selling shareholders named in this prospectus.

 

Currently, no public market exists for our Ordinary Shares. We have applied to list our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “RAY” in connection with our initial public offering. There is no guarantee or assurance that our Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq Capital Market, or that our initial public offering will be closed.

 

No sales of the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus shall occur until the Ordinary Shares sold in our initial public offering begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Any shares sold by the selling shareholders will occur at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices after close of the initial public offering and listing of the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, and such sales by the selling shareholders will not occur until after the Ordinary shares begin trading on Nasdaq. The distribution of securities offered hereby may be effected in one or more transactions that may take place in ordinary brokers’ transactions, privately negotiated transactions or through sales to one or more dealers for resale of such securities as principals. Usual and customary or specifically negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the selling shareholders.

 

Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of losing your entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 26 of the Public Offering Prospectus to read about factors you should consider before buying our Ordinary Shares.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Risk Factors” and “Prospectus Summary— “Implications of Our Being an Emerging Growth Company” on pages 26 and 20, respectively, of the Public Offering Prospectus.

 

As a “controlled company” under the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, We may choose to exempt ourselves from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public shareholders. See more detailed discussion of this risk factor on page 31 of the Public Offering Prospectus.

 

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

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling shareholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their Ordinary Shares being offered under this Resale Prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which our Ordinary Shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Ordinary Shares as agent but may position; and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this Resale Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such Ordinary Shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

a combination of any of these methods of sale; and

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Ordinary Shares may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available for a selling shareholders, rather than under this Resale Prospectus. The selling shareholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of Ordinary Shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

The selling shareholders may pledge their Ordinary Shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling shareholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged Ordinary Shares.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of Ordinary Shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

If sales of Ordinary Shares offered under this Resale Prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this Resale Prospectus is a part. In the post-effective amendment, we would be required to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.

 

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Ordinary Shares offered under this Resale Prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Ordinary Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discount under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell Ordinary Shares offered under this Resale Prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this Resale Prospectus or, if required, in a replacement resale prospectus included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this Resale Prospectus is a part.

 

Alt-3

 

 

The selling shareholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the Ordinary Shares offered under this Resale Prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Ordinary Shares by, the selling shareholders or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the Ordinary Shares.

 

Rule 5110 requires members firms to satisfy the filing requirements of Rule 5110 in connection with the resale, on behalf of selling shareholders, of the securities on a principal or agency basis. NASD Notice to Members 88-101 states that in the event a selling shareholder intends to sell any of the shares registered for resale in this Resale Prospectus through a member of FINRA participating in a distribution of our securities, such member is responsible for insuring that a timely filing, if required, is first made with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA and disclosing to FINRA the following:

 

it intends to take possession of the registered securities or to facilitate the transfer of such certificates;

 

the complete details of how the selling shareholders’ Ordinary Shares are and will be held, including location of the particular accounts;

 

whether the member firm or any direct or indirect affiliates thereof have entered into, will facilitate or otherwise participate in any type of payment transaction with the selling shareholders, including details regarding any such transactions; and

 

in the event any of the securities offered by the selling shareholders are sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated by any selling shareholder in a transaction that directly or indirectly involves a member firm of FINRA or any affiliates thereof, that prior to or at the time of said transaction the member firm will timely file all relevant documents with respect to such transaction(s) with the Corporate Finance Department of FINRA for review.

 

No FINRA member firm may receive compensation in excess of that allowable under FINRA rules, including Rule 5110, in connection with the resale of the securities by the selling shareholders.

 

If any of the Ordinary Shares offered for sale pursuant to this Resale Prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this Resale Prospectus, then subsequent holders could not use this Resale Prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders. We offer no assurance as to whether any of the selling shareholders will sell all or any portion of the shares offered under this Resale Prospectus.

 

We have agreed to pay all fees and expenses we incur incident to the registration of the shares being offered under this Resale Prospectus. However, each selling shareholder and purchaser is responsible for paying any discount, and similar selling expenses they incur.

 

We and the selling shareholders have agreed to indemnify one another against certain losses, damages and liabilities arising in connection with this Resale Prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

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

 

(3) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that No statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(4) For the purpose of determining any liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the 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.
