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

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED FEBRUARY 14, 2023

ICZOOM GROUP INC.
1,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares

This is the initial public offering (the “Offering”) of our Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.16 per share (each, a “Class A Ordinary Share”, collectively, “Class A Ordinary Shares”). We expect that the initial public offering price will be between $4.00 and $5.00 per share. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A Ordinary Shares. We will apply for approval for quotation on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “IZM” for the Class A Ordinary Shares we are offering. This offering is contingent upon the final approval from Nasdaq for us listing on Nasdaq Capital Market. There is no guarantee or assurance that our Class A Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq Capital Market. Further, there is no assurance that the offering will be closed and our Class A Ordinary Shares will be trading on NASDAQ Capital Market. We will not proceed to consummate this offering if Nasdaq denies our listing.

As the date hereof, our authorized share capital is $5,600,000 divided into 30,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 5,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.16 per share (each, a “Class B Ordinary Share”; collectively, “Class B Ordinary Shares”). As of the date hereof, we have 4,996,874 Class A Ordinary Shares and 3,829,500 Class B Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding, respectively. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Class A Ordinary Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. In respect of matters requiring a shareholder vote, each Class A Ordinary Share will be entitled to one vote and each Class B Ordinary Share will be entitled to ten votes. The Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into shares of any other class. The Class B Ordinary Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares at any time after issuance at the option of the holder on a one to one basis. The Class B ordinary shares shall automatically convert into fully paid and nonassessable Class A ordinary shares upon the occurrence of certain events as described herein. See “Description of Share Capital — Conversion” starting on page 170 of this prospectus.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Act of 2012, as amended, and, as such, will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

We anticipate that following the completion of this Offering, our Chief Executive Officer, Lei Xia and our Chief Operating Officer, Duanrong Liu, will beneficially own an aggregate 85.50% voting power of the Company given the effect of 1 vote power of each Class A Ordinary Shares and 10 votes of each Class B Ordinary Share, which will allow Lei Xia and Duanrong Liu together to determine all matters requiring approval by shareholders. We may be deemed to be a “controlled company” under NASDAQ Marketplace Rules 5615(c); however, we do not intend to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

We are not a Chinese operating company, but a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with all of our operations conducted by our wholly-owned subsidiaries established in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”) and Hong Kong. This structure involves unique risks to investors, in particular, that the PRC government could disallow our holding company structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or a material change of the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares that we are registering for sale, and the value of such securities may significantly decline or become worthless See “Risk Factor — Risks Related to Doing Business in China” starting on page 52 of this prospectus and “Risk Factor — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” starting on page 50 of this prospectus.

Historically we had a series of contractual arrangements with Shenzhen Pai Ming Electronics Co., Ltd., a PRC company which functioned as a variable interest entity and is referred to as “the VIE” or “Pai Ming Shenzhen” in this prospectus. The VIE structure provided contractual exposure to foreign investment in the VIE rather than replicating an investment and the main contribution of the VIE was to hold an ICP license as the PRC law prohibits direct foreign investment in internet-based businesses, such as provision of internet information services platform and other value-added telecommunication services. We generated more than 96.5% of our revenue from operations of our wholly foreign owned entity (“WFOE”), Components Zone (Shenzhen) Development Limited (“ICZOOM WFOE”) and its subsidiaries and our Hong Kong subsidiaries for the last two fiscal years and the most recent fiscal semi year. In December 2021, we terminated the agreements under the VIE structure and our Hong Kong subsidiary Iczoom Electronics Limited, or ICZOOM HK, now operates our B2B online platform www.iczoomex.com, which does not require an ICP license under the PRC law. As a result, though we consolidated the financial results of the VIE for the last two fiscal years as a primary beneficial under the U.S. GAAP, we will no longer consolidate the operation and financial results of Pai Ming Shenzhen. As of the date of this prospectus, the agreements under the contractual arrangements have not been tested in any court of law. For a description of the historical VIE contractual arrangements, see “Corporate History and Structure — Historical Contractual Arrangements” starting on page 92 of this prospectus. For the summary of the condensed consolidated schedule and the consolidated financial statements, see pages 31-33 of this prospectus for “Summary Financial Data — Selected Consolidated Balance Sheet Data” (which is a summary of pages 32 and F-3 of the consolidated financial statements); “— Selected Consolidated Statement of Operations Data” (which is a summary of pages 32 and F-4 of the consolidated financial statements); “— Selected Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows” (which is a summary of pages 33 and F-6 of the consolidated financial statements); and “— Roll-Forward of Investment” (which is a summary of pages 33 and F-38 of the financial statements of parent company). While the current corporate structure does not contain any VIE and we have no intention establishing any VIEs in PRC in the future, if in the future the PRC laws and regulations change, and the PRC regulatory authorities disallow the VIE structure, including retroactively, it would likely result in a material adverse change in our operations, and the securities of ICZOOM Cayman may decline significantly in value or become worthless.

This is an offering of the Class A ordinary shares of the offshore Cayman Islands holding company, ICZOOM Group Inc. (“ICZOOM Cayman”), which wholly owns our operating subsidiaries in the PRC and Hong Kong. Investors in the Class A Ordinary Shares are not purchasing, and may never directly hold, equity securities of our subsidiaries in the PRC and Hong Kong that have substantive business operations. Investing in our Class A Ordinary Shares is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment.

Because all of our operations are conducted in Hong Kong and China through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we face risks and uncertainties associated with the complex and evolving PRC laws and regulations and as to whether and how the recent PRC government statements and regulatory developments, the Chinese government may intervene or influence the operation of our Hong Kong and PRC operating entities and exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our Class A ordinary shares. Further, any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, including disallowing our holding company structure, could have a material change in our operation and/or significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. On December 24, 2021, China Securities Regulatory Commission (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, which are currently published for public comments only. 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 China-based companies shall file with the CSRC within three working days. The required filing materials with the CSRC include (without limitation): (i) record-filing reports and related undertakings, (ii) compliance certificates, filing or approval documents from the primary regulators of applicants’ businesses (if applicable), (iii) security assessment opinions issued by related departments (if applicable),(iv) PRC legal opinions, and (v) prospectus. In addition, overseas offerings and listings may be prohibited for such China-based companies when any of the following applies: (1) if the intended securities offerings and listings are specifically prohibited by the laws, regulations or provision of the PRC; (2) if the intended securities offerings and listings may constitute a threat to, or endanger national security as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with laws; (3) if there are material ownership disputes over applicants’ equity interests, major assets, core technologies, or the others; (4) if, in the past three years, applicants’ domestic enterprises, controlling shareholders or de facto controllers have committed corruption, bribery, embezzlement, misappropriation of property, or other criminal offenses disruptive to the order of the socialist market economy, or are currently under judicial investigation for suspicion of criminal offenses, or are under investigation for suspicion of major violations; (5) if, in the past three years, any directors, supervisors, or senior executives of applicants have been subject to administrative punishments for severe violations, or are currently under judicial investigation for suspicion of criminal offenses, or are under investigation for suspicion of major violations; (6) other circumstances as prescribed by the State Council. We do not believe any of the six prohibited situations aforementioned applies to us. The Draft Administrative Provisions further stipulate that a fine between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million may be imposed if an applicant fails to fulfil the filing requirements with the CSRC or conducts an overseas offering or listing in violation of the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, and in cases of severe violations, a parallel order to suspend relevant businesses or halt operations for rectification may be issued, and relevant business permits or operational license revoked. Although we do not believe that we are currently prohibited from conducting overseas offering and listings, if the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listings is enacted, we may be subject to additional compliance requirements in the future. Since the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listings 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 filing requirements in a timely manner, or at all, in the future. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Class A 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 our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factor — Draft rules for China-based companies seeking for securities offerings in foreign stock markets was released by the CSRC for public consultation. While such rules have not yet come into effect, the Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over overseas public offerings conducted by China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless.” on page 56 of this prospectus.

After the termination of the agreements under the VIE structure, in consideration that it may take some time for customers to take actions to complete the transfer and adapt to the new platform from the old platform operated by Pai Ming Shenzhen, ICZOOM WFOE entered into a business cooperation agreement with Pai Ming Shenzhen on January 18, 2022, pursuant to which Pai Ming Shenzhen agreed to provide us with network services including but not limited to business consultation, website information push, matching services of supply and demand information, online advertising, software customization, data analysis, website operation and other in-depth vertical services through online & offline data push through its platform. Uncertainties exist regarding whether Hong Kong companies are subject to the new Cybersecurity Review Measures, and ICZOOM HK as the operator of our online platform may be subject to PRC laws relating to the use, sharing, retention, security and transfer of confidential and private information, such as personal information and other data. According to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which was promulgated on December 28, 2021 and became effective on February 15, 2022 and replaced the Cybersecurity Review Measures promulgated on April 13, 2020, online platform operator holding more than one million users/users’ personal information shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad. Cybersecurity Review Measures is relatively new and does not provide a definition of “online platform operator”, therefore, we cannot assure you that ICZOOM WFOE will not be deemed as an “online platform operator.” On November 14, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China, or “CAC”, released the Regulations on the Network Data Security Management (Draft for Comments), or the Data Security Management Regulations Draft, to solicit public opinion and comments. Pursuant to the Data Security Management Regulations Draft, data processor holding more than one million users/users’ individual information shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad. Data processing activities refers to activities such as the collection, retention, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure, or deletion of data. We may be deemed as a data processor under the Data Security Management Regulations Draft. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if we are deemed as an online platform operator under the Cybersecurity Review Measures or a data processor under the Data Security Management Regulations Draft, we do not expect to be subject to the cybersecurity review in connection with this offering before listing abroad because we currently hold aggregate less than ten thousand users’ individual information and it is very unlikely that we will reach

 

Table of Contents

threshold of one million users’ individual information in the near future as we are a B2B platform where our registered users are substantially small and medium-sized enterprises. However, the Data Security Management Regulations Draft has not been formally adopted. It is uncertain when the final regulation will be issued and take effect, how it will be enacted, interpreted or implemented, and whether it will affect us. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. exchange. See “Permission Required from the PRC Authorities for the Company’s Operation and to Issue Our Class A Ordinary Shares to Foreign Investors” and “Risk Factor — The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities and may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.” on page 53 of this prospectus.

Hjet Supply Chain has maintained cash management policies which dictate the purpose, amount and procedure of cash transfers between Hjet Supply Chain and other subsidiaries. Hjet Supply Chain conducts regular review and management of its subsidiaries’ cash transfers and reports to its board of directors. Other than Hjet Supply Chain, neither ICZOOM Cayman or its other subsidiaries has cash management policies dictating how funds are transfer, and each entity needs to comply with applicable law or regulations with respect to transfer of funds, dividends and distributions with other entities. As a holding company, we may rely on transfer of funds, dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC and Hong Kong subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements. If any of our PRC or Hong Kong subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us.

As of the date of this prospectus, there has been no cash flows, including dividends, transfers and distributions, between ICZOOM Cayman and its subsidiaries. Prior to the termination of the VIE arrangement in December 2021, funds were historically transferred between Hjet Supply Chain to Pai Ming Shenzhen pursuant to the commercial agreements between them, in the aggregated amount of $59,478 for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and in the aggregated amount of $217,464 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. After the termination of the VIE arrangement until June 30, 2022, Hjet Supply Chain transferred funds in the aggregated amount of $181,596 to Pai Ming Shenzhen pursuant to the business cooperation agreement dated January 18, 2022. See “Prospectus Summary — Our Company” on page 5 of this prospectus. Other than funds transferred to Pai Ming Shenzhen, funds are transferred among our HK and PRC subsidiaries for working capital purpose. In the future, cash proceeds from overseas financing activities, including this offering, may be transferred by ICZOOM Cayman to its Hong Kong and PRC subsidiaries via capital contribution or shareholder loans, as the case may be.

As of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries have made any dividends or distributions to ICZOOM Cayman. As of the date of this prospectus, no dividends or distributions have been made to any investors by ICZOOM Cayman or any of its subsidiaries. We intend to keep any future earnings to re-invest in and finance the expansion of the business of our PRC and Hong Kong subsidiaries, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future to the U.S. investors immediately following the consummation of this offering. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend on its shares out of either profit or share premium amount, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts due in the ordinary course of business. Certain payments from us or the Hong Kong subsidiaries to the PRC operating entities are subject to PRC taxes, including business taxes and value added tax, or VAT. To the extent the funds or assets in the business is in the PRC or a PRC subsidiary, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC, due to the controls imposed by PRC governments which may limit our ability to transfer funds, pay dividends or make distribution to ICZOOM Cayman. The PRC government imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. In addition, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax at a rate of 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless reduced under treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and the governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC resident enterprises are tax resident. Based on the Hong Kong laws and regulations, as at the date of this prospectus, there is no restriction imposed by the Hong Kong government on the transfer of capital within, into and out of Hong Kong (including funds from Hong Kong to the PRC), except transfer of funds involving money laundering and criminal activities.

See “Dividend Distributions or Assets Transfer among the Holding Company and Its Subsidiaries” on page 15 of this prospectus, and “Risk Factor — The transfer of funds or assets between ICZOOM Cayman, its Hong Kong subsidiaries and the PRC operating entities is subject to restriction.” from page 44 of this prospectus. For the summary of the condensed consolidated schedule and the consolidated financial statements, see pages 31-33 of this prospectus for “Summary Financial Data — Selected Consolidated Balance Sheet Data” (which is a summary of pages 32 and F-3 of the consolidated financial statements); “— Selected Consolidated Statement of Operations Data” (which is a summary of pages 32 and F-4 of the consolidated financial statements); “— Selected Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows” (which is a summary of pages 33 and F-6 of the consolidated financial statements); and “— Roll-Forward of Investment” (which is a summary of pages 33 and F-38 of the financial statements of parent company); and “Risk Factor — China’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as changes in any government policies, laws and regulations may be quick with little advance notice and, could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.” on page 53 of this prospectus; and “Risk Factor — We must remit the offering proceeds to China before they may be used to benefit our business in China, the process of which may be time-consuming, and we cannot assure that we can finish all necessary governmental registration processes in a timely manner.” on page 63 of this prospectus; and “Risk Factor — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this Offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.” on page 65 of this prospectus; and “Risk Factor — Governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to use our revenues effectively and the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to obtain financing.” on page 66 of this prospectus.

Our Class A Ordinary Shares may be prohibited to trade on a national exchange or “over-the-counter” markets under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”) if Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) is unable to inspect our auditors for three consecutive years beginning in 2021. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”), which, if signed into law, 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 which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the PRC, and (2) Hong Kong. In addition, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. Friedman LLP was our auditor for the financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Effective as of September 1, 2022, Friedman LLP combined with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”). Friedman LLP was headquartered in Manhattan, New York, and had been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis with the last inspection in October 2020. Friedman LLP was not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified in this report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determination. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB has independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. Under the PCAOB’s rules, a reassessment of a determination under the HFCA Act may result in the PCAOB reaffirming, modifying or vacating the determination. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor’s, control. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed and does not have to wait another year to reassess its determinations. In the future, if there is any regulatory change or step taken by PRC regulators that does not permit our auditor to provide audit documentations located in China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation, or the PCAOB expands the scope of the Determination so that we are subject to the HFCA Act, as the same may be amended, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities, including trading on the national exchange and trading on “over-the-counter” markets, may be prohibited under the HFCA Act. On December 29, 2022, a legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”), was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things, an identical provision to AHFCAA, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act from three years to two. See “Risk Factors — Recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and an act passed by the US Senate all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering.” on page 77 of this prospectus for more information.

We are a Cayman Islands company and conduct a significant portion of our operations in China, and the majority of our assets are located in China. In addition, all of our directors and officers (except one independent director nominee) are nationals or residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons is located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce the U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts including judgments based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, none of whom (except one independent director nominee) are residents in the United States, and whose significant assets are located outside the United States. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China against us or Hong Kong or other foreign laws, and the ability of U.S. authorities to bring actions in China may also be limited.” on page 70 of this prospectus.

Please see “Risk Factor” starting on page 34 of this prospectus for additional information.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made statements in this prospectus, including under “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Our Business” and elsewhere that constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, assumptions or future events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “we believe,” “we intend,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “could” and similar expressions denoting uncertainty or an action that may, will or is expected to occur in the future. These statements involve estimates, assumptions, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Examples of forward-looking statements include:

        the timing of the development of future services;

        projections of revenue, earnings, capital structure and other financial items;

        the development of future company-owned branches;

        statements regarding the capabilities of our business operations;

        statements of expected future economic performance;

        statements regarding competition in our market; and

        assumptions underlying statements regarding us or our business.

The ultimate correctness of these forward-looking statements depends upon a number of known and unknown risks and events. We discuss our known material risks under the heading “Risk Factors” above. Many factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Consequently, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Unless otherwise stated, all references to “us,” “our,” “ICZOOM,” “we,” the “company” and similar designations refer to ICZOOM Group Inc., an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and its consolidated subsidiaries. See Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our Company

We are an offshore holding company incorporated in Cayman Islands, conducting our operation in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) through our wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong and PRC. Prior to December 2021, our wholly foreign owned entity in PRC, Components Zone (Shenzhen) Development Limited (“ICZOOM WFOE”) had contractual arrangements, or VIE arrangements, with Pai Ming Shenzhen which held an Internet Content Provider (“ICP”) license, allowing us to provide internet information services through our e-commerce platform in PRC. The ICP license is a VATS License with the business scope of Internet information service that commercial Internet information services operators are required to obtain and can only be held by PRC operators without any foreign ownership because the PRC law prohibits direct foreign investment in internet-based businesses.

In December 2021, we terminated the VIE arrangements with Pai Ming Shenzhen, and our Hong Kong subsidiary, Iczoom Electronics Limited, or ICZOOM HK, now operates our B2B online platform www.iczoomex.com, which does not require an ICP license under the PRC law. The reason for us to change the entity operating our B2B online platform was twofold. First, with the increased number of customers in Hong Kong and potential demands from other countries for electronic components in China, we were motivated to establish a B2B online platform in Hong Kong for our growth in the Hong Kong market and potential expansion to other markets. Second, the substantially increased regulatory and operational risks of the VIE arrangements accelerated our termination of the VIE arrangements, which as a result terminated our contractual right to access to the old platform held by Pai Ming Shenzhen. Our new platform www.iczoomex.com is not only operated and managed by ICZOOM HK but its server and data are located and stored in Singapore. As neither our online platform nor its operation is within the territory of China, ICZOOM HK is not required by PRC law to obtain an ICP license to maintain and operate www.iczoomex.com, and we are able to provide internet information services through www.iczoomex.com.

Upon the termination of the VIE arrangements, we no longer consolidate the operation and financial results of Pai Ming Shenzhen and conduct all of our operations through our wholly owned subsidiaries in China and Hong Kong. Nevertheless, we generated more than 96.5% of our revenue from operations of our wholly foreign owned subsidiaries for the last three fiscal years before the termination of the VIE arrangements and now generate all of our revenue from operations of our wholly owned subsidiaries after such termination. See “Prospectus Summary — Historical Contractual Arrangements” for a summary of these historical VIE agreements starting on page 10 of this prospectus. See “Summary Financial Data — Selected Consolidated Balance Sheet Data”; “— Selected Consolidated Statement of Operations Data”; “— Selected Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows”; and “— Roll-Forward of Investment” on pages 31-33 of this prospectus. While the current corporate structure does not contain any VIE and we have no intention establishing any VIEs in PRC in the future, if in the future the PRC laws and regulations change, and the PRC regulatory authorities disallow the VIE structure, including retroactively, it would likely result in a material adverse change in our operations, and the securities of ICZOOM Cayman may decline significantly in value or become worthless.

Table of Contents

Following the termination of the VIE arrangements in December 2021, we no longer have access to the old platform or website in China, and we now operate a new B2B platform through www.iczoomex.com. The new platform has substantially the same features and functions as the old platform or website, which, among others, enables us to collect, optimize and present product offering information, match orders for customers and fulfil orders through our SaaS suite services.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we made purchases from a total of 1,012 and 966 suppliers, respectively. As the date hereof, we have uploaded information of all products we purchased not only from those suppliers but from any new suppliers in 2022 on the new platform.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated revenue from a total of 1,051 and 1,049 customers through the old platform, respectively. The new platform, however, does not automatically integrate the information of registered customers from the old platform. The customers are mainly small-medium electronic component buyers in PRC, some of which are repeat customers who constantly place orders on the platform and some are less active who place orders whenever they need to. For those repeat customers, we were able to contact them and worked with them even prior to the termination of the VIE arrangement to register with the new platform and continue working with them to transfer over to the new platform. For other random customers, with the assistance from Pai Ming Shenzhen, we had gradually transferred them over. See more details about the cooperation with Pai Ming Shenzhen described in this prospectus. It took us approximately one year to complete the transfer of customers. During the period from January to June 2022, we had 746 customers, among which 545 were transferred customers and 201 were new customers (including 44 new customers sourced by Pai Ming Shenzhen). During January and June 2022, orders placed by 545 transferred customers attributed revenue of approximately $135.2 million (or 90.0% of the revenue) and orders placed by 201 new customers attributed revenue of $15.0 million (or 10.0% of the revenue); totalling revenue of $150.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and representing an increase of 4.0% compared to the revenue of $144.5 million during the comparative six months in 2021.

In order to retain customers and reduce interruption of operations during the transitional period, we entered into a business cooperation agreement with Pai Ming Shenzhen on January 18, 2022. Pursuant to the business cooperation agreement, Pai Ming Shenzhen utilized the old platform to provide us with network services, including but not limited to business consultation, website information push, matching services of supply and demand information, online advertising, software customization, data analysis, website operation and other in-depth vertical services through online and offline data push and we agreed to pay Pai Ming Shenzhen for its monthly service with a base monthly fixed fee of RMB100,000 and additional variable service fee based on its performance during the one-year-term of the agreement. Pai Ming Shenzhen also posted the offering prices of products for customers to review and request orders on the old platform, however the old platform no longer had the function to match and fulfil orders. When an order was placed on the old platform, the customer would receive an automatically generated message that a representative would contact him, her or it shortly to confirm and fulfil the order. Pai Ming Shenzhen sent information of orders to us on a daily basis so that we could contact customers directly to guide them to register with the new platform to place orders so that the orders could be matched and fulfilled through the new platform. The services provided by Pai Ming Shenzhen to assist with the transfer were paid out through its monthly fixed fee, for any new customer that had not previously registered with the old platform but sourced by Pai Ming Shenzhen and had placed orders with us through the new platform, we agreed to pay Pai Ming Shenzhen a variable service fee. During the one-year term of the business cooperation agreement, 73 new customers sourced by Pai Ming Shenzhen placed orders on our new platform, and we have paid Pai Ming Shenzhen approximately RMB 73,000 (approximately $0.01 million) of additional variable service fees for such new customers. This business cooperation agreement expired after the one-year term, and we did not renew or enter into a new business cooperation agreement with Pai Ming Shenzhen.

As an ICP license is no longer required for the new platform, the business cooperation agreement is not necessary for us to operate the e-commerce platform in the long term, but it is necessary for us to retain the customers who still use the old platform during the transitional period. In addition, from January to June 2022, we also had 201 new customers, including 7 new customers located outside of China because the new platform in Hong Kong is easier for customers outside of China to access to as compared to the old platform.

Table of Contents

Taking all the factors and measures in consideration, we do not expect any material negative impact caused by the termination of the VIE arrangement on our business or the results of operations except that (i) we will incur additional expenses under the business cooperation agreement with Pai Ming Shenzhen; (ii) we have to designate a certain sales person and service team to assist with the transfer which may be a slight distraction to our routine business; and (iii) it may cause a certain level of inconvenience to customers to redo a new registration and get familiar with the new platform.

PRC laws and regulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague and uncertain, and therefore, these risks may result in a material change in our operations, significant depreciation of the value of our Class A ordinary shares, or a complete hindrance of our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. The Chinese government may intervene or influence the operations of our PRC operating entities at any time and may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in the operations of our PRC operating entities and/or the value of our Class A ordinary shares. Further, any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. On December 24, 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) issued the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listings. See “Prospectus Summary — Permission Required from the PRC Authorities for the Company’s Operation and to Issue Our Class A Ordinary Shares to Foreign Investors” starting on page 10 of this prospectus; “Risk Factor — Draft rules for China-based companies seeking for securities offerings in foreign stock markets was released by the CSRC for public consultation. While such rules have not yet come into effect, the Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over overseas public offerings conducted by China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless.” starting on page 56 of this prospectus; “Risk Factor — Our failure to obtain prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) for the listing and trading of our Class A Ordinary Shares on a foreign stock exchange could delay this offering or could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results, reputation and trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.” starting on page 51 of this prospectus; and “Regulation — Regulation Related to M&A Regulations and Overseas Listings” starting on page 151 of this prospectus.

After the termination of the agreements under the VIE structure, in consideration that it may take some time for customers to take actions to complete the transfer and adapt to the new platform from the old platform operated by Pai Ming Shenzhen, ICZOOM WFOE entered into a business cooperation agreement with Pai Ming Shenzhen on January 18, 2022, under which Pai Ming Shenzhen agreed to provide us with network services including but not limited to business consultation, website information push, matching services of supply and demand information, online advertising, software customization, data analysis, website operation and other in-depth vertical services through online and offline data push through its platform. Uncertainties exist regarding whether Hong Kong companies are subject to the new Cybersecurity Review Measures, and ICZOOM HK as the operator of our online platform may be subject to PRC laws relating to the use, sharing, retention, security, and transfer of confidential and private information, such as personal information and other data. According to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which was promulgated on December 28, 2021 and became effective on February 15, 2022 and replaced the Cybersecurity Review Measures promulgated on April 13, 2020, online platform operator holding more than one million users/users’ individual information shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad. Cybersecurity Review Measures does not provide a definition of “online platform operator”, therefore, we cannot assure you that ICZOOM WFOE will not be deemed as an “online platform operator.” On November 14, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China, or “CAC”, released the Regulations on the Network Data Security Management (Draft for Comments), or the Data Security Management Regulations Draft, to solicit public opinion and comments. Pursuant to the Data Security Management Regulations Draft, data processor holding more than one million users/users’ individual information shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad. Data processing activities refer to activities such as the collection, retention, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure, or deletion of data. We may be deemed as a data processor under the Data Security Management Regulations Draft. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if we are deemed as an online platform operator under the

7

Table of Contents

Cybersecurity Review Measures or a data processor under the Data Security Management Regulations Draft, we do not expect to be subject to the cybersecurity review in connection with this offering before listing abroad because we currently hold aggregate less than ten thousand users’ individual information and it is very unlikely that we will reach threshold of one million users’ individual information in the near future as we are a B2B platform where our registered users are substantially small and medium-sized enterprises (“SMEs”). Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. exchange. See “Risk Factor — The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities and may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares” starting on page 53 of this prospectus; “Risk Factor — We must remit the offering proceeds to China before they may be used to benefit our business in China, the process of which may be time-consuming, and we cannot assure that we can finish all necessary governmental registration processes in a timely manner” starting on page 63 of this prospectus; “Risk Factor — You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China against us or our management named in the prospectus based on Hong Kong or other foreign laws, and the ability of U.S. authorities to bring actions in China may also be limited” starting on page 70 of this prospectus; and “Risk Factor — China Securities Regulatory Commission and other Chinese government agencies may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, especially those in the technology filed” starting on page 58 of this prospectus.

Our Class A Ordinary Shares may be prohibited to trade on a national exchange or “over-the-counter” markets under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCA Act”) if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors for three consecutive years beginning in 2021. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”), which, if signed into law, 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. 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: (1) mainland China, and (2) Hong Kong. Friedman LLP was our auditor for the financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Effective as of September 1, 2022, Friedman LLP combined with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”). Friedman LLP was headquartered in Manhattan, NY and had been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis with the last inspection in October 2020 until its combination with Marcum. The PCAOB currently has access to inspect the working papers of our auditor. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Protocol, the PCAOB has independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. The PCAOB was required to reassess these determinations by the end of 2022. Under the PCAOB’s rules, a reassessment of a determination under the HFCA Act may result in the PCAOB reaffirming, modifying or vacating the determination. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainty and depends on a number of factors out of our, and our auditor’s, control. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed and does not have to wait another year to reassess its determinations. In the future, if there is any regulatory change or step taken by PRC regulators that does not permit our auditor to provide audit documentations located in China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation, or the PCAOB expands the scope of the Determination so that we are subject to the HFCA Act, as the same may be amended you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities, including trading on the national exchange and trading on “over-the-counter” markets, may be prohibited under the HFCA Act. On December 29, 2022, a legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”), was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things, an identical provision to AHFCAA, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two.

changes submitted by Nasdaq, and an act passed by the US Senate all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering” starting on page 77 of this prospectus for more information.

Historical Contractual Arrangements

Historically, due to legal restrictions on foreign ownership and investment in, among other areas, the development and operation of electronic component exchange in China, including Shenzhen and Shanghai, we operated our previous online platform through the ICP license held by Pai Ming Shenzhen, a PRC company with no foreign ownership. Pai Ming Shenzhen was directed through contractual arrangements in lieu of direct equity ownership by us or any of our subsidiaries, and the main contribution of Pai Ming Shenzhen was to hold the ICP license. Such contractual arrangements consist of a series of three agreements, along with shareholder’s powers of attorney (“POA”) and irrevocable commitment letters (collectively, the “Contractual Arrangements”), which were signed on December 14, 2020. However, we terminated the VIE arrangement with Pai Ming Shenzhen, completed the relevant regulatory procedures, and unwound the VIE structure in December 2021. Our Hong Kong subsidiary, ICZOOM HK, now operates our B2B online platform www.iczoomex.com, which does not require an ICP license under the PRC law. The reason for us to change the entity operating our B2B online platform was twofold. First, with the increased number of customers in Hong Kong and potential demands from other countries for electronic components in China, we were motivated to establish a B2B online platform in Hong Kong for our growth in the Hong Kong market and potential expansion to other markets. Second, the substantially increased regulatory and operational risks of the VIE arrangements accelerated our termination of the VIE arrangement, which as a result terminated our contractual right to access to the old platform held by Pai Ming Shenzhen. Our new platform www.iczoomex.com is not only operated and managed by ICZOOM HK but its server and data are located and stored in Singapore. As neither our online platform nor its operator is within territory of China, ICZOOM HK is not required by PRC law to obtain an ICP license to maintain and operate www.iczoomex.com, and we are able to provide internet information services through www.iczoomex.com. As a result, we no longer consolidate the operation and financial results of Pai Ming Shenzhen and conduct all of our operations through our wholly owned subsidiaries in China and Hong Kong.

The Contractual Arrangements were designed to allow ICZOOM Cayman to consolidate Pai Ming Shenzhen’s operations and financial results in ICZOOM Cayman’s financial statement.

For details of our corporate history and historical VIE arrangement, please see “Corporate History and Structure” starting on page 90 of this prospectus.

Permission Required from the PRC Authorities for the Company’s Operation and to Issue Our Class A Ordinary Shares to Foreign Investors

Our operations in China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our PRC legal counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, has advised us that, as of the date of this prospectus, based on their understanding of the current PRC laws, regulations and rules, we and our subsidiaries have received all requisite permissions and approvals from the PRC government authorities for our business operations currently conducted in China. Neither have we nor our subsidiaries received any denial of permissions for our business operations currently conducted in China. These permissions and approvals include (without limitation) Business License, Record Registration Form for Foreign Trade Business Operators, and Filing Form for Customs Declaration Entity.

Our PRC legal counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, has advised us that, as of the date of this prospectus, based on their understanding of the current PRC laws, regulations and rules, we and our subsidiaries are currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC authorities to issue our Class A Ordinary Shares to foreign investors.

However, we are subject to the risks of uncertainty of any future actions of the PRC government in this regard including the risk that we inadvertently conclude that the permissions or approvals discussed here are not required, that applicable laws, regulations or interpretations change such that we are required to obtain approvals in the future, or that the PRC government could disallow our holding company structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations, including our ability to continue our existing holding company structure, carry on our current business, accept foreign investments, and offer or continue to offer securities to our investors. These adverse actions could cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. We may also be subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, if we fail to comply with such rules and regulations, which would likely adversely affect the ability of our securities to be listed on a U.S. exchange, which would likely cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

On August 8, 2006, six Chinese regulatory agencies, including the Ministry of Commerce of China (“MOFCOM”), jointly issued the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”), which became effective on September 8, 2006 and amended on June 22, 2009. The

10

Table of Contents

M&A Rules contains provisions that require that an offshore special purpose vehicle (“SPV”) formed for listing purposes and controlled directly or indirectly by Chinese companies or individuals shall obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published procedures specifying documents and materials required to be submitted to it by an SPV seeking CSRC approval of overseas listings. However, the application of the M&A Rule remains unclear with no consensus currently existing among leading Chinese law firms regarding the scope and applicability of the CSRC approval requirement. We have not chosen to voluntarily request approval under the M&A Rules. Based on the understanding of the current PRC law, rules and regulations, given that ICZOOM WFOE was not established by a merger with or an acquisition of any PRC domestic companies as defined under the M&A Rules, we believe that, as of the date of this prospectus, the CSRC’s approval under the M&A Rules are not be required for the listing and trading of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq in the context of this offering.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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, which are currently published for public comments only. 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 China-based companies shall file with the CSRC within three working days. The required filing materials with the CSRC include (without limitation): (i) record-filing reports and related undertakings, (ii) compliance certificates, filing or approval documents from the primary regulator of the applicants’ businesses (if applicable), (iii) security assessment opinions issued by related departments (if applicable), (iv) PRC legal opinions, and (v) prospectus. In addition, overseas offerings and listings may be prohibited for such China-based companies when any of the following applies: (1) if the intended securities offerings and listings are specifically prohibited by the laws, regulations or provision of the PRC; (2) if the intended securities offerings and listings may constitute a threat to, or endanger national security as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with laws; (3) if there are material ownership disputes over applicants’ equity interests, major assets, core technologies, or the others; (4) if, in the past three years, applicants’ domestic enterprises or controlling shareholders, de facto controllers have committed corruption, bribery, embezzlement, misappropriation of property, or other criminal offenses disruptive to the order of the socialist market economy, or are currently under judicial investigation for suspicion of criminal offenses, or are under investigation for suspicion of major violations; (5) if, in the past three years, any directors, supervisors, or senior executives of applicants have been subject to administrative punishments for severe violations, or are currently under judicial investigation for suspicion of criminal offenses, or are under investigation for suspicion of major violations; (6) other circumstances as prescribed by the State Council. We do not believe any of the six prohibited situations aforementioned applies to us. The Draft Administrative Provisions further stipulate that a fine between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million may be imposed if an applicant fails to fulfil the filing requirements with the CSRC or conducts an overseas offering or listing in violation of the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, and in cases of severe violations, a parallel order to suspend relevant businesses or halt operations for rectification may be issued, and relevant business permits or operational license revoked.

Although we do not believe that we are currently prohibited from overseas offering and listings, if the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listings is enacted, we may be subject to additional compliance requirements in the future. Since the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listings 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 filing requirements in a timely manner, or at all, in the future. If the CSRC requires that we obtain its approval prior to the completion of this offering, the offering will be delayed until we have obtained CSRC approval, which may take several months. There is also the possibility that we may not be able to obtain or maintain such approval or that we inadvertently concluded that such approval was not required. If prior CSRC approval was required while we inadvertently concluded that such approval was not required or if applicable laws and regulations or the interpretation of such were modified to require us to obtain the CSRC approval in the future, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other Chinese regulatory authorities. These authorities may impose fines and penalties upon our operations in China, limit our operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into China, or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. The CSRC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to terminate this offering prior to closing. Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer the Class A Ordinary Shares, causing significant disruption to our business operations, severely damage our reputation,

materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause the Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factor — Draft rules for China-based companies seeking for securities offerings in foreign stock markets was released by the CSRC for public consultation. While such rules have not yet come into effect, the Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over overseas public offerings conducted by China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless” on page 56 of this prospectus; “Risk Factor — Our failure to obtain prior approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) for the listing and trading of our Class A Ordinary Shares on a foreign stock exchange could delay this offering or could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results, reputation and trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares” on page 51 of this prospectus; and “Regulation — Regulation Related to M&A Regulations and Overseas Listings” starting on page 151 of this prospectus.

After the termination of the agreements under the VIE structure, in consideration that it may take some time for customers to take actions to complete the transfer and adapt to the new platform from the old platform operated by Pai Ming Shenzhen, ICZOOM WFOE entered into a business cooperation agreement with Pai Ming Shenzhen on January 18, 2022, under which Pai Ming Shenzhen agreed to provide us with network services including but not limited to business consultation, website information push, matching services of supply and demand information, online advertising, software customization, data analysis, website operation and other in-depth vertical services through online and offline data push through its platform. Uncertainties exist regarding whether Hong Kong companies are subject to the new Cybersecurity Review Measures, and ICZOOM HK as the operator of our online platform may be subject to PRC laws relating to the use, sharing, retention, security, and transfer of confidential and private information, such as personal information and other data. According to the latest amended Cybersecurity Review Measures, which was promulgated on December 28, 2021 and became effective on February 15, 2022, and replaced the Cybersecurity Review Measures promulgated on April 13, 2020, online platform operator holding more than one million users/users’ individual information shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad. Cybersecurity Review Measures does not provide a definition of “online platform operator”, therefore, we cannot assure you that ICZOOM WFOE will not be deemed as an “online platform operator.” On November 14, 2021, the CAC released the Regulations on the Network Data Security Management (Draft for Comments), or the Data Security Management Regulations Draft, to solicit public opinion and comments. Pursuant to the Data Security Management Regulations Draft, data processor holding more than one million users/users’ individual information shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad. Data processing activities refers to activities such as the collection, retention, use, processing, transmission, provision, disclosure, or deletion of data. We may be deemed as a data processor under the Data Security Management Regulations Draft. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if we are deemed as an online platform operator under the Cybersecurity Review Measures or a data processor under the Data Security Management Regulations Draft, we do not expect to be subject to the cybersecurity review in connection with this offering before listing abroad because we currently hold aggregate less than ten thousand users’ individual information and it is very unlikely that we will reach threshold of one million users’ individual information in the near future as we are a B2B platform where our registered users are substantially SMEs.

The Cybersecurity Review Measures also provide that if a critical information infrastructure operator, or a CIIO, purchases internet products and services that affect or may affect national security, it should be subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC. We do not expect to be a CIIO, since (i) we do not hold a large amount of individual information, and (ii) data processed in our business is less likely to have a bearing on national security, thus it may not be classified as core or important data by the authorities. However, due to the lack of further interpretations, the exact scope of what constitutes a “CIIO” remains unclear. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notice from any authorities identifying us as a CIIO or requiring us to undertake a cybersecurity review by the CAC. Further, as of the date of this prospectus, we have not been subject to any penalties, fines, suspensions, or investigations from any competent authorities for violation of the regulations or policies that have been issued by the CAC.

Our Hong Kong subsidiary ICZOOM HK currently operate a B2B online trading platform, primarily engaged in sales of electronic component products to customers in China, where our customers can register as members first, and then use the platform to search for or post quotes for their desired electronic component products. By utilizing latest technologies, our platform collects, optimizes and presents product offering information from suppliers of all sizes, all transparent and available to our SME customers to compare and select. According to the Personal Information Protection Law issued by Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the PRC on August 20, 2021, where the purpose of the activity is to provide a product or service to that natural person located within China, such activity shall comply with the Personal Information Protection Law. Further, the Data Security Law provides that where any data handling activity carried out outside of the territory of China harms the national security, public interests, or the legitimate rights and

12

Table of Contents

interests of citizens or organizations of China, legal liability shall be investigated in accordance with such law. However, the Personal Information Protection Law and the Data Security Law are relatively new, there remains uncertainty as to how the laws will be interpreted or implemented and whether the PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation related to such two laws. It is uncertain whether our Hong Kong subsidiary ICZOOM HK shall comply with the aforesaid laws. As of the date hereof, we are of the view that ICZOOM HK is in compliance with the applicable PRC laws and regulations governing the data privacy and personal information in all material respects, including the data privacy and personal information requirements of the Cyberspace Administration of China, and we have not received any complaints from any third party, or been investigated or punished by any PRC competent authority in relation to data privacy and personal information protection. In reaching this conclusion, we have adopted corresponding internal control measures to ensure the security of our information system and confidentiality of our customers’ personal information, including, but not limited to the followings:

        We have established information security management systems which stipulate the standardized procedures for the management of information system. Through the information security management systems, we classify our staff based on their positions and responsibilities and grant them different access rights and adopt password control to identify system users. We adjust, shut down or deregister the access rights in a timely manner when such staff change their positions or take long vacations or terminate their employment agreements with us. Moreover, we conduct information system security inspections and periodically check the access logs of the information system so that we could identify abnormal accesses and deregister such abnormal accessed accounts.

        We provide training to our employees to ensure that they are aware of our internal policies in relation to data protection.

        We have specific network administrator responsible for installing the network firewall, remoting backup storage of important databases, business data, and documents, and promoting information security awareness among our employees.

For the data and personal information collected from our customers, we set out our data privacy policy and obtain the prior consent of the customers as required by the applicable laws and regulations before collecting their data and personal information. We collect personal information in accordance with the principle of legality, propriety and necessity, and do not collect personal information irrelevant to the service we provide to the customers. We have not shared, transferred or publicly disclosed user data without prior consent or authorization from the customers, unless otherwise permitted by relevant laws and regulations. We may be required to comply with laws and regulations in the PRC relating to data privacy and personal information, and failure to comply with such laws and regulations may potentially lead to regulatory or civil liability.

On July 7, 2022, the CAC promulgated the Outbound Data Transfer Security Assessment Measures, which became effective on September 1, 2022. According to the Outbound Data Transfer Security Assessment Measures, to provide data abroad under any of the following circumstances, a data processor shall declare security assessment for its outbound data transfer to the CAC through the local cyberspace administration at the provincial level: (i) where the data processor will provide important data abroad; (ii) where CIIO or the data processor processing the personal information of more than one million individuals will provide personal information abroad; (iii) where the data processor who has provided personal information of 100,000 individuals or sensitive personal information of 10,000 individuals in total abroad since January 1 of the previous year, will provide personal information abroad; and (iv) other circumstances where the security assessment is required as prescribed by the CAC. Prior to declaring security assessment for outbound data transfer, the data processor shall conduct self-assessment on the risks of the outbound data transfer. For outbound data transfers that have been carried out before the effectiveness of the Outbound Data Transfer Security Assessment Measures, if it is not in compliance with these measures, rectification shall be completed within six months starting from September 1, 2022. Hjet Shuntong, a PRC subsidiary of our WFOE, collects names and phone numbers of contact persons from our customers in order to fulfill their orders. By years of operation, as of September 20, 2022, Hjet Shuntong accumulated information of names and phone numbers of approximately 8,189 PRC individuals, a substantial portion of which is no longer active nor can be verified. The personal data Hjet Shuntong possesses is kept and maintained by Hjet Shuntong within mainland China. Our B2B online platform www.iczoomex.com, which is held by ICZOOM HK, collects name and phone number of a contact when a customer registers with the platform. As of October 20, 2022, ICZOOM HK had collected names and phone numbers of approximately 150 PRC individuals. The Outbound Data Transfer Security Assessment Measures does not clearly state whether collection of personal information from PRC individuals by an offshore entity shall be deemed

13

Table of Contents

as outbound data transfer, therefore, there remains uncertainty whether such measures shall be applied to ICZOOM HK. Even such measures apply to ICZOOM HK, considering that (i) ICZOOM HK does not collect a large amount of personal information from PRC individuals, which is far less than either 100,000 individuals’ personal information and it is very unlikely that we will reach threshold of 100,000 individuals’ personal information in the near future as we are a B2B platform where our registered users are substantially SMEs, and (ii) personal information collected by ICZOOM HK are mainly the names and phone numbers of the contacts of our registered users, which is less likely to be deemed as sensitive personal information and is less likely to have a bearing on national security, thus it may not be classified as important data by the authorities, we understand, as concurred by our PRC counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, that the security assessment for cross-border data transfer is less likely applicable to us to date. However, as advised by our PRC counsel, Han Kun Law Offices, since the Outbound Data Transfer Security Assessment Measures is extremely new, there remain substantial uncertainties about its interpretation and implementation, the specific applicability of the Outbound Data Transfer Security Assessment Measures still subject to further interpretation of the PRC authorities. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any penalty, investigation or warning with respect to our business operation from the CAC, nor have we received any notice or instructions from the CAC requiring us to declare a security assessment. Furthermore, as of the date of this prospectus, implementation rules for the rectification requirements have not been issued and we have not started rectifications. We will continually monitor our compliance status in accordance with the latest developments in applicable regulatory requirements. If it is determined in the future that we are required to declare a security assessment, it is uncertain whether we can or how long it will take us to complete such declaration or rectification.

The Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, Data Security Management Regulations Draft, Cybersecurity Review Measures, Personal Information Protection Law, Data Security Law and Outbound Data Transfer Security Assessment Measures are relatively new, there are substantial uncertainties regarding their interpretation and application, the PRC regulatory authorities may take a view that is contrary to the analysis above. We are not sure whether the PRC regulatory authorities will adopt other rules and restrictions in the future. See “Risk Factor — Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could have a material adverse effect on us” on page 52 of this prospectus; Risk Factor — Draft rules for China-based companies seeking for securities offerings in foreign stock markets was released by the CSRC for public consultation. While such rules have not yet come into effect, the Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over overseas public offerings conducted by China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless” on page 56 of this prospectus; “Risk Factor — The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities and may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares” on page 53 of this prospectus; “Risk Factor — We may be liable for improper use or appropriation of personal information provided by our customers” on page 60 of this prospectus; and “Risk Factor — China Securities Regulatory Commission and other Chinese government agencies may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, especially those in the technology filed. Additional compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval. If we are required to obtain PRC governmental permission to commence the sale of our securities, we will not commence the offering until we obtain such permissions. As a result, we face uncertainty about future actions by the PRC government that could significantly affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless” on page 58 of this prospectus.

New laws and regulations may be enforced from time to time to require additional licenses and permits other than those we currently have. If the PRC government deems us as operating without proper approvals, licenses or permits, promulgates new laws and regulations that require additional approvals or licenses or impose additional restrictions on the operation of any part of our business, we may be required to apply for additional approvals, license or permits. See “Risk Factor — Any lack of requisite approvals, licenses or permits applicable to our business operation may have a material and adverse impact on our business and results of operations” on page 42 of this prospectus.

Dividend Distributions or Assets Transfer among the Holding Company and Its Subsidiaries

We are a holding company with no material operations of our own and do not generate any revenue. We currently conduct substantially all of our operations through our wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China. We are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to provide funding to PRC subsidiaries only through loans or capital contributions, and only if we satisfy the applicable government registration and approval requirements. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this Offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business” on page 65.

Neither ICZOOM Cayman or its subsidiaries except Hjet Supply Chain has cash management policies dictating how funds are transferred, and each entity needs to comply with applicable law or regulations with respect to transfer of funds, dividends and distributions with other entities. Hjet Supply Chain has maintained cash management policies which dictate the purpose, amount and procedure of cash transfers between Hjet Supply Chain and other subsidiaries. Hjet Supply Chain conducts regular review and management of all its subsidiaries’ cash transfers and reports to the board of directors.

Our subsidiaries in the PRC generate and retain cash generated from operating activities and re-invest it in our business. If any of our PRC subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. As of the date of this prospectus, there has been no cash flows, including dividends, transfers and distributions, between ICZOOM Cayman and its subsidiaries. Prior to the termination of the VIE arrangement in December 2021, funds were historically transferred between Hjet Supply Chain to Pai Ming Shenzhen pursuant to the contracts between them in the aggregated amount of $59,478 from July 1, 2021 to the termination date, and in the aggregated amount of $217,464 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, respectively. After the termination of the VIE arrangement until June 30, 2022, Hjet Supply Chain transferred funds in the aggregated amount of $181,596 to Pai Ming Shenzhen pursuant to the business cooperation agreement dated January 18, 2022. Other than funds transferred to Pai Ming Shenzhen, funds are transferred among our HK and PRC subsidiaries for working capital purpose. As of the date hereof, there has been no dividend or distributions made between U.S. investors, other investors and the Company’s entities. See “Summary Financial Data — Selected Consolidated Balance Sheet Data.”; “— Selected Consolidated Statement of Operations Data”; “— Selected Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows”; and “— Roll-Forward of Investment” on pages 31-33 of this prospectus.

Cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities, including the cash proceeds from this offering, may be transferred by ICZOOM Cayman to Components Zone HK, and then transferred to ICZOOM WFOE, and then transferred to Hjet Shuntong, and then Hjet Supply Chain, and then ICZOOM Shenzhen and Hjet Logistics as capital contribution and/or shareholder loans subject to applicable regulatory approvals, as the case may be.

We intend to keep any future earnings to re-invest in and finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend on its shares out of either profit or share premium amount, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts due in the ordinary course of business. If we determine to pay dividends on any of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, unless we receive proceeds from future offerings, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our Hong Kong subsidiaries, including Components Zone HK, which will be dependent on receipt of dividends from ICZOOM WFOE, which will be dependent on dividends from the Hjet Shuntong, which will be dependent on receipt of dividends from Hjet Supply Chain, which will be dependent on receipt of payments from ICZOOM Shenzhen and Hjet Logistics in accordance with the laws and regulations of the PRC and Hong Kong.

ICZOOM WFOE’s ability to distribute dividends is based upon its distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit ICZOOM WFOE to pay dividends to Components Zone HK only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of ICZOOM WFOE and the other subsidiaries in China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Upon contribution to the statutory reserves using its after-tax profits, each of such entity in China may also make further contribution to the discretionary reserve funds using its after-tax profits in accordance with a resolution of the shareholders meeting. Although the

15

Table of Contents

statutory reserves can be used, among other ways, to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies, the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation.

As of the date of this prospectus, PRC subsidiaries have not paid any dividends to the offshore companies.

The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries in the PRC incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments. To the extent the funds or assets in the business is in the PRC or a PRC subsidiary, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC, due to the controls imposed by PRC governments which may limit our ability to transfer funds, pay dividends or make distribution to ICZOOM Cayman. Based on the Hong Kong laws and regulations, as at the date of this prospectus, there is no restriction imposed by the Hong Kong government on the transfer of capital within, into and out of Hong Kong (including funds from Hong Kong to the PRC), except transfer of funds involving money laundering and criminal activities. Please see “Risk Factor — China’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as changes in any government policies, laws and regulations may be quick with little advance notice and, could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.” on page 53 of this prospectus; “Risk Factor — PRC regulation of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this Offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business” on page 65 of this prospectus; and “Risk Factor — Governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to use our revenues effectively and the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to obtain financing” on page 66 of this prospectus.

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

In order for us to pay dividends to our shareholders, we will rely on payments made from Hjet Shuntong and its subsidiaries and the distribution of such payments to Components Zone HK as dividends from ICZOOM WFOE. Certain payments from our PRC subsidiaries to ICZOOM WFOE are subject to PRC taxes, including business taxes and VAT.

Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion on Income, or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, the 10% withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5% if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns no less than 25% of a PRC project. However, the 5% withholding tax rate does not automatically apply and certain requirements must be satisfied, including without limitation that (a) the Hong Kong project must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends; and (b) the Hong Kong project must directly hold no less than 25% share ownership in the PRC project during the 12 consecutive months preceding its receipt of the dividends. In current practice, a Hong Kong project must obtain a tax resident certificate from the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5% lower PRC withholding tax rate. As the Hong Kong tax authority will issue such a tax resident certificate on a case-by-case basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the Double Taxation Arrangement with respect to dividends to be paid by our PRC subsidiary to its immediate holding company, Components Zone HK. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not applied for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority. Components Zone HK intends to apply for the tax resident certificate when ICZOOM WFOE plans to declare and pay dividends to Components Zone HK. See “Risk Factors — We may be classified as a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes; such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders” on page 67 of this prospectus.

(1)      Parent companies may transfer fund to their subsidiaries via capital contributions or shareholder loans, subsidiaries may transfer funds to their parent companies via dividends or distributions.

(2)      Under PRC laws, PRC companies may not pay dividends unless it has set aside at least 10% of its accumulative profits after tax each year to fund statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of its registered capital.

(3)      In December 2021, ICZOOM WFOE terminated the contractual arrangements with Pai Ming Shenzhen and the shareholder of Pai Ming Shenzhen. As the VIE was to hold the ICP license in the past, we did not have any cash flow or distribution between the VIE and ICZOOM WFOE.

Business Overview

Sales of Electronic Components Products

We sell two categories of electronic component products: (i) semiconductor products and (ii) electronic equipment, tools and other products. Our semiconductor products primarily include various integrated circuit, discretes, passive components, optoelectronics, and our equipment, tools and other electronic component products primarily include various electromechanical, maintenance, repair & operations (“MRO”), and various design tool. The selling prices for our semiconductor products range from $0.001 per unit to approximately $54,580 per unit, and selling prices for our electronic equipment, tools and other products normally range from $0.001 per unit to $51,118 per unit, depending on different features of stock keep units (each, the “SKU”, collectively, the “SKUs”). For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the average selling prices of semiconductor products were $0.21 per unit and $0.20 per unit respectively, and the average selling prices of equipment, tools and others were $0.25 per unit and $0.21 per unit, respectively.

Service Commission Fees

Our service commission fees consist of (1) fees charged to customers for assisting them with customs clearance when electronic component products are purchased from overseas suppliers; and (2) fees charged to customers for providing temporary warehousing and organizing the shipping and delivery after customs clearance.

For those add-on services, we typically charge non-refundable commission fees ranging from 0.2% to 2% based on the value of products. Such revenue is recognized when our customs clearance, warehousing, logistic and delivery services are performed and the customer receive the products. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes and value added taxes.

Our Business Model

We operate a B2B online platform www.iczoomex.com, which was held by ICZOOM HK, where our customers can register as members first, and then use the platform to search for or post quotes for their desired electronic component products. By utilizing latest technologies, our platform collects, optimizes and presents product offering information from suppliers of all sizes, all transparent and available to our SME customers to compare and select. Our suppliers have requirements for minimum purchase amounts in order for us to obtain favorable prices. We post such requirements and corresponding prices on our platform. Our customer will place an order meeting the minimum purchase amount requirement. Once a customer’s order is placed through our platform, we will acquire selected products from a supplier and sell directly to the customer. In addition, our platform can collect and analyze the order information and re-organize single purchase orders from different customers into one combo order based on the component part number provided that those orders are within the same or close range of delivery schedules. We often can renegotiate further discounts from suppliers for those combo orders.

Our registered users can post enquiries if they cannot find their desired products. Our platform can screen product offering information automatically for them to identify a match. If there is no match, we may reach out to suppliers to locate the desired products and then provide the offering information to them.

We also provide add-on services for our customers with commission fees, such services including, but not limit to, temporary warehousing, logistic and shipping, and customs clearance.

Key Facts of Our Business

(ICZOOM Business Model)

18

Table of Contents

1. Anonymous Product Offering

We take the responsibilities and risks to verify the suppliers and their products. Our platform collects, optimizes and presents product offering information such as price, volume, and the delivery of components, without revealing the suppliers’ identity so that the suppliers cannot be reached directly by our registered users or use our platform to post fake and unfair offering information. This arrangement allows customers to screen essential product offering information effectively.

2. Real-Time Transaction Information

Our platform captures changes of product offering prices and updates them in a timely manner. The platform also publishes, among others, the most recent transaction details of component part numbers and product trading volume. The transaction information is published on our platform as references on our platform. We have also developed a comprehensive collection of component specs, design and application information from suppliers. This catalog enables customers to screen, compare and cross-reference components efficiently. Since our inception in 2012, our platform has accumulated more than 25 million SKUs in multiple electronic industry subdivisions. Because of the information and data we provide, we have a substantial amount of visitors to our platform to review and collect product information and more than 25,000 SMEs registered as users on our platform so that they can post enquiries and/or offering information of their products, among which, some become our customers and some become our suppliers. For year ended June 30, 2022, we generated our revenue from a total of 1,051 customers and purchased products from 1,012 suppliers.

For year ended June 30, 2021, we generated our revenue from a total of 1,049 customers and purchased products from 966 suppliers.

3. SaaS Solutions

Our full-fledged software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) suite enables customers to optimize and digitalize their orders. Our SaaS suite includes inventory management, procurement management, customer relationship management (“CRM”), bill of material (“BOM”) management and logistics management. The comprehensive range of services improve customers’ transaction experience, enhance our platform brand image, and empower our business growth.

Awards

Our platform is widely recognized within the industry and has earned 38 awards from various organizations, none of which requires us to pay to participate, including but not limited to the following:

i.       Innovative B2B Companies of China by B2B Branch of China Electronic Commerce Association in 2017;

ii.      T30 Innovative B2B Companies of China by China Industrial Internet Allies in 2018;

iii.     Top 100 B2B Enterprises in China and Outstanding B2B Entrepreneur in China by China B2B Summit Organization in 2019; and

iv.      Top 100 China Industrial Internet by China Industrial Internet Summer Summit Organizing Committee in 2020 and 2021; and

v.       Top 500 Companies in Shenzhen, China by Shenzhen Enterprises Association and Shenzhen Entrepreneurs Association in 2022.

Our Customers

Our customers are mainly SMEs in the PRC. As the electronics industry is subject to short product life cycles and involves constantly evolving technologies, our platform, with a relatively short inventory turnover period of 1.83 and 2.81 days as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, can satisfy our customers’ needs of frequent purchase and timely delivery. Our e-commerce platform provides our customers with comprehensive solutions to improve their shopping experience and eventually save costs for them. In conjunction with the termination of the

19

Table of Contents

VIE arrangement, we launched a new B2B platform through www.iczoomex.com, which has substantially the same features and functions as the old platform or website. The new platform, however, does not automatically integrate the information of registered customers from the old platform, so we currently work with Pai Ming Shenzhen on the transfer pursuant to a business operation agreement. During the period from January to June 2022, we had 746 customers, among which 545 were transferred customers and 201 were new customers (including 44 new customers sourced by Pai Ming Shenzhen). For more information, see “Our Business” starting on page 120 of this prospectus.

Our Suppliers

The majority of our suppliers are mainly authorized distributors from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and overseas. They have provided accumulated offering information of more than 25 million SKUs from worldwide on our platform as of the date of this prospectus. We sold about 26,236 SKUs and 23,975 SKUs in aggregate in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of the date of this prospectus, we have uploaded offering information of all products we purchased not only from those suppliers but from any new suppliers in 2022 on the new platform. For more information, see “Our Business” starting on page 120 of this prospectus.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, we made purchases from a total of 1,012 suppliers approximately 89.5% of which were from Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas and 10.5% of which were from PRC.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, we made purchases from a total of 966 suppliers approximately 90.5% of which were from Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas and 9.5% of which were from PRC. For the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, no single supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total purchases.

Market Opportunities and Competition

The current electronic components business model is a closed market system dominated by vendors, distributors, and traders with no open market infrastructure. This not only leads to complex trading processes but also high transaction cost and a low transaction efficiency caused by information barrier. Despite the size of the market, a significant portion of the business value in the global electronic industry is still handled by distributors and traders, who make high profits from the price differences caused by information barriers.

We aim to address the problems and difficulties that SMEs face through our e-commerce platform:

        Information asymmetry and delay between the customers and suppliers;

        Over-reliance on upstream suppliers which leaves little control and bargain power to SME customers, especially to customers with special requirements and small purchase amount; and

        High distribution costs which make it hard for SMEs to generate economic benefit.

Competition

We believe that we are an advanced e-commerce platform that provides anonymous product offering, real-time transaction information, and SaaS solutions for SMEs in China’s electronics component industry. We may, however, face competition from traditional distributors and traders of the electronic components as well as competition from existing competitors and new market entrants in the electronic component exchange market, including the following, each in its respective aspect:

        electronic components distributors mainly serving the SMEs, including authorized distributors, category distributors, and proprietary platforms,

        B2B e-commerce platforms providing one-stop procurement of electronic components for SMEs, and

        SaaS providers offering digital solutions to enterprise procurement management.

Our Strengths

We believe that the following are our key competitive strengths that contribute to our growth and, on a combined basis, differentiate us from our competitors:

        first move advantage of building an e-commerce platform that could bring a new trading method on product information and purchase demand, low transaction cost, and transaction efficiency, to the electronic component distribution industry,

        tailor-made e-commerce solutions that cater to the specific needs of our customers,

        unique infrastructure for efficient customers management and service post-order until delivery,

        exclusive availability of the anonymous product offering on our platform, and

        visionary founders, experienced management team and strong corporate culture.

Growth Strategies

Since our inception, we have focused on building an e-commerce platform with the low transaction cost and transparent pricing to meet the needs of SMEs in the electronic component market. In order to stay competitive, we will:

        continue to invest in our information engine to support our business.

        strengthen our technology capabilities and enrich our SaaS suite.

        further develop and expand our solutions on our e-commerce platform.

        expand our marketing and sales by enhancing cooperation with suppliers and our services.

Source and Cost of Revenues, Gross Profit, Operating Expenses, and Net Income

Our revenues are primarily derived from sales of electronic component products. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 98.7% and 99.4% of our sales were from sales of electronic component products respectively. In addition, approximately 1.3% and 0.6% of our sales were from the service commission fees, respectively.

Our cost of revenues primarily consists of third-party products purchase price, tariffs associated with import products from overseas suppliers, inbound freight costs, warehousing and overhead costs and business taxes. Cost of revenue generally changes due to factors including the availability of the third-party products in the market, the purchase price of third-party products, sales volume and product mix changes.

Our gross profit decreased by $206,818 or 2.6%, from $8,021,282 in fiscal year 2021 to $7,814,464 in fiscal year 2022, and our gross profit margin decreased by 0.2% from 2.9% in fiscal year 2021 to 2.7% in fiscal year 2022. We have other additional operating expenses consisting of selling expenses, and general and administrative expenses. As a result, we reported a net income of $2,569,810 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, representing a $64,756 decrease from the net income of $2,634,566 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, our revenues were $290,376,371 and $279,360,826, respectively, and our gross profit were $7,814,464 and $8,021,282, respectively.

Impacts of COVID-19

Like many others, our operations have been affected by the outbreak and spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused lockdowns, travel restrictions, and closures of businesses. Our business was temporarily impacted by the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak to a certain extent.

21

Table of Contents

The negative impacts of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, and results of operations include, but are not limited to, the following:

        Temporary lockdown of business.    We temporarily closed our facilities for one month (from the beginning of February until March 1, 2020) as the Chinese government required the nationwide closure of many business activities in the PRC in response to COVID-19. Our on-site work resumed after March 1, 2020.

        Increase in product cost and expense.    Given that the productivity of certain components manufacturers has not recovered, a shortage of these products has driven up their prices and extended the period of time for delivery.

        Delay of delivery.    Our logistics channels have been negatively impacted by the outbreak, which to certain extent delayed our products delivery. For example, some of our orders have been delayed because the suppliers were impacted by the lock-down in the U.S. However, our product delivery recovered gradually after March 1, 2020.

        Extended collection time.    A few of our customers required additional time to pay us due to the negative business impact of the ongoing COVID-19.

Despite the above-mentioned negative impacts of COVID-19 which were temporary to our business, our customer demands increased during the pandemic. After we resumed our business operation on March 1, 2020, we received and fulfilled increased sales orders for electronic components products through on our e-commerce platform. As a result, our revenues increased $11,015,545, or 3.9%, from $279,360,826 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, to $290,376,371 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Although the negative impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak on our business seems to be temporary in China, there is still uncertainty both in China and globally and potential disruption to business and the economy. A resurgence could negatively affect the execution of customer contracts, the collection of customer payments, or disruption of the Company’s supply chain. The continued uncertainties associated with COVID-19 may cause the Company’s revenue and cash flows to underperform in the next 12 months. The extent of the future impact of COVID-19 is still highly uncertain and cannot be predicted as of the date of this prospectus.

Research and Development

We maintain an internal dedicated engineering and technology team, who are responsible for (1) software research and development; (2) operational support; and (3) data management and analysis of the e-commerce platform and order fulfilment platform. As of the date of this prospectus, our team consists of 13 full-time R&D personnel, which accounts for 12% of the Company’s employees.

Intellectual Property

Our primary trademark portfolio consists of 20 registered trademarks and 1 intellectual property management system certification. Our trademarks are valuable assets that reinforce the brand and our consumers’ favorable perception of our products.

We currently own 62 registered software copyrights. Our software supports the operation of SaaS platform.

In addition to trademark and software protection, we own 14 domain names, including iczoomex.com.

Our intellectual property is subject to risks of theft and other unauthorized use, and our ability to protect our intellectual property from unauthorized use is limited. In addition, we may be subject to claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business — We may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could cause a loss of customers, reduce our revenues and harm our competitive position” on page 41 of this prospectus.

Our Securities and Reverse Split

In October 2020, upon shareholder approval, we effected a reverse split pursuant to which each four Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.02 each were reverse split into one Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.08 each and every four Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.02 each were reverse split into one Class B Ordinary Share of a par value of $0.08 each (the “2020 Reverse Split”). In August 2022, upon shareholder approval, we effected a reverse split pursuant to which each 2 Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.08 each were

22

Table of Contents

reverse split into one Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.16 each and every four Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.08 each were reverse split into one Class B Ordinary Share of a par value of $0.16 each (the “2022 Reverse Split”). All share numbers, stock option numbers, warrant numbers, other derivative security numbers and exercise prices appearing in this registration statement have been adjusted to give effect to the 2022 Reverse Split, unless otherwise indicated or unless the context suggests otherwise.

Our authorized share capital is divided into Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares prior to the completion of this Offering. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares have the same rights except for voting and conversion rights. In respect of matters requiring a shareholder vote, each Class A Ordinary Share will be entitled to one vote and each Class B Ordinary Share will be entitled to ten votes. Due to the Class B Ordinary Shares’ voting power, the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares currently and may continue to have a concentration of voting power, which limits the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares’ ability to influence corporate matters. (See “Risk Factors — The conversion of Class B Ordinary Shares into Class A Ordinary Shares may have a dilutive effect on your percentage ownership and may result in a dilution of your voting power and an increase in the number of Class A Ordinary Shares eligible for future resale in the public market, which may negatively impact the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.” on page 74 of this prospectus). Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one Class A Ordinary Share at any time by the holder thereof. Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. There are no provisions in our amended and restated articles of association that would limit the lifespan of the Class B Ordinary Shares, and the holders of Class B Ordinary Shares are able to hold their Class B Ordinary Shares for any period of time; provided however, in the event of any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of any Class B Ordinary Shares to any person other than the permitted transferees (as defined in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association), such Class B Ordinary Shares shall automatically convert into fully paid and nonassessable Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-to-one ratio. (See “Description of Share Capital”).

Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the number of shares of Class A and Class B Ordinary Shares to be outstanding after our initial public offering is based on 6,496,874 Class A Ordinary Shares (including 4,996,874 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of the date hereof and 1,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued in this offering) and 3,829,500 Class B Ordinary Shares outstanding, and excludes 6,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance under our 2015 Share Option Plan (as amended in October 2020, and further amended in August 2022 the “Option Plan”).

Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus assumes a price to the public in this Offering of $4.5 per share.

Summary of Risk Factors

Investing in our Class A Ordinary Shares involves significant risks. You should carefully consider all of the information in this prospectus before making an investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares. Below please find a summary of the principal risks we face, organized under relevant headings. These risks are discussed more fully in the section titled “Risk factors.”

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry. See “Risk Factor — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry” starting on page 34 of the prospectus.

Risks and uncertainties related to our business and industry include, but are not limited to, the following:

        We derive substantially our revenue from purchases made by SMEs in China that are electronic manufacturers or traders engaging in consumer electronic industry, IoT, automotive electronics, industry control segment. As a result, factors that adversely affect Chinese electronics manufacturers or the Chinese electronics manufacturing industry could also materially and adversely affect our customers’ business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and subsequently impact them placing orders with us. See “Risk Factor — We substantially rely on purchases made by Chinese electronics SMEs, and factors that adversely affect Chinese electronics industry could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.” on page 35 of this prospectus.

23

Table of Contents

        Our continued success requires us to maintain our current customers and develop new relationships. We cannot guarantee that our customers will continue to use our platform in the future or at the current level. We may be unable to maintain existing customers or to obtain new customers on a profitable basis due to competitive dynamics. See “Risk Factor — If we could not maintain existing customers or attract new customers, ensure our existing customers to register with our new platform, and face a significant decrease in the number of customers or the volume of customer demands, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospectus could be materially and adversely impacted.” on page 35 of this prospectus.

        Our business depends on our ability to successfully obtain payment from our customers of the amounts they owe us for products we sold and services we provided. An extended delay or default in payment relating to a significant account will have a material and adverse effect on the aging schedule and turnover days of our accounts receivable. If we are unable to collect our receivables from our customers in accordance with the contracts with our customers, our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected. See “Risk Factor — If we are unable to collect our receivables from our customers, our results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.” on page 48 of this prospectus.

        We rely on third-party courier service providers to deliver products to our customers. Interruptions to or failures in these couriers’ shipping services could prevent the timely or successful delivery of our products. See “Risk Factor — We rely on third-party courier service providers to deliver our products, and their failure to provide high-quality courier services to our customers may negatively impact the procurement experience of our customers, damage our market reputation and materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.” on page 39 of this prospectus.

        The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our website, our mobile applications and our network infrastructure are critical to our success and our ability to attract and retain customers and maintain adequate customer service levels. See “Risk Factor — The proper functioning of our e-commerce platform is essential to our business and any failure to maintain the satisfactory performance, security and integrity of our e-commerce platform will materially and adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.” on page 39 of this prospectus.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure” starting on page 50 of the prospectus.

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

        Previously, our B2B online platform was operated through Pai Ming Shenzhen, the VIE, which held the ICP license to provide internet information services in PRC according to the regulations in China. If we were subject to severe penalties retroactively, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations and failures. Further, the PRC government could disallow our holding company structure, which would likely result in a material adverse change in our operations, and/or our Class A Ordinary Shares may decline significantly in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factor — We previously operated our B2B online platform through the ICP license held by Pai Ming Shenzhen by means of Contractual Arrangements. If the PRC government determines that these contractual arrangements did not comply with PRC regulations relating to the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, or if the PRC government disallow our holding company structure, we could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations, which would likely result in a material adverse change in our operations, and/or the securities of ICZOOM Cayman may decline significantly in value or become worthless.” from page 50 of this prospectus.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China” starting on page 52 of the prospectus.

We are based in China and have the majority of our operations in China, so we face risks and uncertainties related to doing business in China in general, including, but not limited to, the following:

        The transfer of funds and assets between ICZOOM Cayman, its Hong Kong subsidiaries and the PRC operating entities is subject to restriction. To the extent the funds or assets in the business is in the PRC or a PRC subsidiary, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC, due to the controls imposed by PRC governments which may limit our ability to transfer funds, pay dividends or make distribution to ICZOOM Cayman. Based on the Hong Kong laws

24

Table of Contents

and regulations, as at the date of this prospectus, there is no restriction imposed by the Hong Kong government on the transfer of capital within, into and out of Hong Kong (including funds from Hong Kong to the PRC), except transfer of funds involving money laundering and criminal activities. See “Risk Factor — The transfer of funds or assets between ICZOOM Cayman, its Hong Kong subsidiaries and the PRC operating entities is subject to restriction.” from page 44 of this prospectus.

        China has not developed a fully integrated legal system, and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory provisions and contractual terms, it may be difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy. See “Risk Factor — Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could have a material adverse effect on us.” on page 52 of this prospectus.

        China’s social and political conditions may change and become unstable. Any sudden changes to China’s political system or the occurrence of widespread social unrest could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. See “Risk Factor — China’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as changes in any government policies, laws and regulations may be quick with little advance notice and, could have a material adverse effect on our business and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.” from page 53 of this prospectus.

        The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to securities regulation, data protection, cybersecurity and mergers and acquisitions and other matters. See “Risk Factor — The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities and may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.” from pages 53 to 55 of this prospectus.

        China Securities Regulatory Commission and other Chinese government agencies may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, especially those in the technology filed. See “Risk Factor — China Securities Regulatory Commission and other Chinese government agencies may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, especially those in the technology filed. Additional compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval. If we are required to obtain PRC governmental permission to commence the sale of our securities, we will not commence the offering until we obtain such permissions. As a result, we face uncertainty about future actions by the PRC government that could significantly affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.” from pages 58 to 60 of this prospectus.

        The proceeds of this offering may be sent back to the PRC, and the process for sending such proceeds back to the PRC may be time-consuming after the closing of this offering. We may be unable to use these proceeds to grow our business until our PRC subsidiaries receive such proceeds in the PRC. See “Risk Factor — We must remit the offering proceeds to China before they may be used to benefit our business in China, the process of which may be time-consuming, and we cannot assure that we can finish all necessary governmental registration processes in a timely manner.” on page 63 this prospectus.

        Our business involves collecting and retaining certain internal and customer data. We also maintain information about various aspects of our operations as well as regarding our employees. The integrity and protection of our customer, employee and company data is critical to our business. Our customers and employees expect that we will adequately protect their personal information. We are required by applicable laws to keep strictly confidential the personal information that we collect, and to take adequate security measures to safeguard such information. See “Risk Factor — We may be liable for improper use or appropriation of personal information provided by our customers.” from pages 60 to 62 of this prospectus.

        Failure by any such shareholders or beneficial owners to comply with Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment Through Special Purpose Vehicles could subject us to fines or legal sanctions, restrict our overseas or cross-border investment activities, limit our PRC subsidiary’s ability to make distributions or pay dividends or affect our ownership structure, which could adversely affect our business and prospects. See “Risk Factor — PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by

PRC residents may subject our PRC resident shareholders to personal liability and limit our ability to acquire PRC companies or to inject capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary ability to distribute profits to us, or otherwise materially and adversely affect us.” from pages 64 of this prospectus.

        We are an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we conduct a significant portion of our operations in China and the majority of our assets are located in China. As a result, it may be difficult for our Shareholders to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside mainland China. In addition, all of our directors and officers (except one independent director nominee) are nationals or residents of countries other than the United States. See “Risk Factor — You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in China against us or Hong Kong or other foreign laws, and the ability of U.S. authorities to bring actions in China may also be limited.” from pages 70 to 71 of this prospectus.

Risks Related to This Offering and the Ordinary Shares. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to This Offering and the Ordinary Shares” on page 73 of the prospectus.

In addition to the risks described above, we are subject to general risks and uncertainties related to our Ordinary Shares and this offering, including, but not limited to, the following:

        Each Class B Ordinary Share is convertible into one (1) Class A Ordinary Share (unless otherwise described herein and adjusted as per our amended and restated articles of association) at any time by the holder thereof, while Class A Ordinary Shares are not convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares under any circumstances. See “Risk Factor — Any future issuances of Class B Ordinary Shares may be dilutive to the voting power of the holders of Class A Ordinary Shares.” on page 74 of this prospectus.

        Our Class B Ordinary Shares have ten votes per share, and our Class A Ordinary Shares, which are the shares we are offering in our initial public offering, have one vote per share. Our founders, who are our CEO and COO, will together hold approximately 88.46% and 85.50% of the voting power of our outstanding ordinary shares before and after our initial public offering, respectively. See “Risk Factor — The dual class structure of our ordinary shares has the effect of concentrating voting control with our founders.” on page 75 of this prospectus.

        The recent developments would add uncertainties to our offering and we cannot assure you whether the national securities exchange we apply to for listing or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach, or experience as it relates to our audit. See “Risk Factor — Recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and an act passed by the US Senate all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering.” from page 77 to 79 of this prospectus.

        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, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. See “Risk Factor — We may experience extreme stock price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.” on page 77 of this prospectus.

Table of Contents

Controlled Company

Prior to the completion of this Offering, and as long as our 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 we are a controlled company under that definition, we are 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 our board of directors must be independent directors;

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

        an exemption from the rule that our 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.

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

Compliance with Foreign Investment

All limited liability companies formed and operating in the PRC are governed by the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the Company Law, which was amended and promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on October 26, 2018 and came into effect on the same day. Foreign invested enterprises must also comply with the Company Law, with exceptions as specified in the relevant foreign investment laws. Under our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus, 100% of the equity interests of ICZOOM WFOE are entirely and directly held by our company through Components Zone HK. Therefore, ICZOOM WFOE, the WFOE of Components Zone HK, should be regarded as a foreign-invested enterprise and comply with both the Company Law and other applicable foreign investment laws.

Emerging Growth Company Status

As a company with less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, enacted in April 2012, and may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

        being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our SEC filings;

        not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

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

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

We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. However, if certain events occur before the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion or we issue more than $1.00 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company before the end of such five-year period.

27

Table of Contents

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

Foreign Private Issuer Status

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and more than 50 percent of our outstanding voting securities are not directly or indirectly held by residents of the United States. Therefore, we are 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, we are not subject to the same requirements as U.S. domestic issuers. Under the Exchange Act, we 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, we will not be required to issue quarterly reports or proxy statements. We will not be required to disclose detailed individual executive compensation information. Furthermore, our directors and executive officers will not be required to report equity holdings under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and will not be subject to the insider short-swing profit disclosure and recovery regime.

Notes on Prospectus Presentation

Numerical figures included in this prospectus have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in various tables may not be arithmetic aggregations of the figures that precede them. Certain market data and other statistical information contained in this prospectus are based on information from independent industry organizations, publications, surveys and forecasts. Some market data and statistical information contained in this prospectus are also based on management’s estimates and calculations, which are derived from our review and interpretation of the independent sources listed above, our internal research and our knowledge of the PRC information technology industry. While we believe such information is reliable, we have not independently verified any third-party information and our internal data has not been verified by any independent source.

For the sake of clarity, this prospectus follows the English naming convention of first name followed by last name, regardless of whether an individual’s name is Chinese or English.

Unless otherwise noted, all currency figures in this filing are in U.S. dollars. Any discrepancies in any table between the amounts identified as total amounts and the sum of the amounts listed therein are due to rounding.

Our reporting currency is U.S. dollar and our functional currency is Renminbi. This prospectus contains translations of certain foreign currency amounts into U.S. dollars for the convenience of the reader. Other than in accordance with relevant accounting rules and as otherwise stated, all translations of Renminbi into U.S. dollars in this prospectus were made at the rate of RMB6.7114 to USD1.00, the buying rate on 30 June, 2022 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board. Where we make period-on-period comparisons of operational metrics, such calculations are based on the Renminbi amount and not the translated U.S. dollar equivalent. We make no representation that the Renminbi or U.S. dollar amounts referred to in this prospectus could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars or Renminbi, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

The following tables present selected consolidated financial data of ICZOOM Cayman, its subsidiaries, and VIE for the years ended June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, and consolidated balance sheet data as of June 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, which have been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements for those periods. ICZOOM Cayman records its investments in its subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting. Such investments are presented in the selected condensed consolidated balance sheets of ICZOOM Cayman as “Investment in subsidiaries, VIE and VIE’s subsidiaries” and the loss of the subsidiaries is presented as “Loss from investment in subsidiaries, VIE” in the selected consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. On December 10, 2021 (the “VIE termination date”), the Company terminated the agreements under the VIE structure. Therefore, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet information as of June 30, 2022 did not consolidate the balance sheet information of the VIE as of June 30, 2022, but the Company’s consolidated results of operation data and cash flow for the year ended June 30, 2022 consolidated the results of operation data and cash flow of the VIE from July 1, 2021 to the VIE termination date.
