PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

2,000,000 Ordinary Shares

Golden Heaven Group Holdings Ltd.

This is an initial public offering of our ordinary shares. We are offering 2,000,000 ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our ordinary shares. We expect the initial public offering price to be in the range of $4.00 to $5.00 per ordinary share. We have reserved the symbol “GDHG” for purposes of listing our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. This offering is contingent on the listing of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. At this time, the Nasdaq Capital Market has not yet approved our application to list our ordinary shares. There is no assurance that such application will be approved, and if our application is not approved by the Nasdaq Capital Market, this offering may not be completed.

Investing in our ordinary shares involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of losing your entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 to read about factors you should consider before buying our ordinary shares.

We are both an “emerging growth company” and a “foreign private issuer” as defined under applicable U.S. securities laws and are eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements. Please read the disclosures beginning on page 10 and on page 11 of this prospectus for more information.

We are not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company. We have no material operations of our own and conduct substantially all of the operations through the operating entities in China. Investors in our ordinary shares are purchasing equity interests in the Cayman Islands holding company, and not in the Chinese operating entities. Investors in our ordinary shares may never hold equity interests in the Chinese operating entities. Our operating structure involves unique risks to investors. The Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our operating structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or a material change in the value of our ordinary shares, and could cause the value of our ordinary shares to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the operating entities conduct their business activities, may intervene or influence such 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 such operations and the value of our ordinary shares, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless” beginning on page 25 of this prospectus. As used in this prospectus, terms such as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our company,” or “our” refer to Golden Heaven Group Holdings Ltd., unless the context suggests otherwise, and when describing Golden Heaven Group Holdings Ltd.’s consolidated financial information, also includes the Chinese operating entities. We directly hold 100% equity interests in the operating entities in China, and we do not currently use a variable interest entity (“VIE”) structure. See “Corporate History and Structure” beginning on page 51 of this prospectus.

As substantially all of our operations are conducted by the operating entities in China, we are subject to the associated legal and operational risks, including risks related to the legal, political and economic policies of the Chinese government, the relations between China and the United States, or Chinese or United States regulations, which risks could result in a material change in our operations and/or cause the value of our ordinary shares to significantly decline or become worthless, and affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, and adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews. As advised by our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), as of the date of this prospectus, we are not directly subject to these regulatory actions or statements, as we have not implemented any monopolistic behavior and our business does not involve the collection of user data, implicate cybersecurity, or involve any other type of restricted industry. However, we will be required to file with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) if we cannot obtain the approvals from the SEC and Nasdaq for this offering and listing before March 31, 2023, or if we obtain the approvals on or before March 31, 2023 but fail to complete this offering and listing on or before September 30, 2023. If we are required to file with the CSRC for this offering and listing, there is no assurance that we can complete such filing in a timely manner or even at all. Any failure by us to comply with such filing requirements may result in an order to rectify, warnings and fines against us and could materially hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities. See “Risk Factors — Risks related to Doing Business in the PRC” beginning on page 24 of this prospectus for a discussion of these legal and operational risks.

In addition, our ordinary shares may be delisted from a national exchange or prohibited from being traded over-the-counter under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”) if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) is unable to inspect our auditor for two consecutive years. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued its determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions, which determinations were vacated on December 15, 2022. Our auditor, B F Borgers CPA PC, has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, and it is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol Agreement (the “SOP”) with the CSRC and China’s Ministry of Finance. The SOP, together with two protocol agreements governing inspections and investigations (together, the “SOP Agreements”), establish a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, as required under U.S. law. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the delisting of our Company and the prohibition of trading in our securities if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our accounting firm at such future time. If trading in the ordinary shares is prohibited under the HFCA Act in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot

 

Table of Contents

inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, Nasdaq may determine to delist our ordinary shares and trading in our ordinary shares could be prohibited. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares and This Offering — Recent joint statement by the SEC and the PCAOB proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable 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” beginning on page 34 of this prospectus.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not maintained any cash management policies that dictate the purpose, amount and procedure of fund transfers among our Cayman Islands holding company, our subsidiaries, or investors. Rather, the funds can be transferred in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. See “Prospectus Summary — Cash Transfers and Dividend Distributions.” As of the date of this prospectus, our Cayman Islands holding company has not declared or paid dividends or made distributions to the Chinese operating entities or to investors in the past, nor were any dividends or distributions made by a Chinese operating entity to the Cayman Islands holding company. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to distribute dividends, subject to applicable laws. We do not have any current plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future after this offering. See “Risk Factors — Risks related to Our Ordinary Shares and This Offering — We currently do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering and you must rely on price appreciation of our ordinary shares for return on your investment” beginning on page 37 of this prospectus. Subject to certain contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions, cash and capital contributions may be transferred among our Cayman Islands holding company and the Chinese operating entities. If needed, our Cayman Islands holding company can transfer cash to the Chinese operating entities through loans and/or capital contributions, and the Chinese operating entities can transfer cash to our Cayman Islands holding company through loans and/or issuing dividends or other distributions. There are limitations on the ability to transfer cash between the Cayman Islands holding company, the Chinese operating entities or investors. Cash transfers from the Cayman Islands holding company to the Chinese operating entities are subject to the applicable PRC laws and regulations on loans and direct investment. See “Prospectus Summary — Cash Transfers and Dividend Distributions,” “Prospectus Summary — Summary of Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — PRC regulations of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore financing to make loans or additional capital contributions to the operating entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and business,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — PRC regulations of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore financing to make loans or additional capital contributions to the operating entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and business” beginning on page 29 of this prospectus. If any of the operating entities incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to the Cayman Islands holding company. Cash transfers from the Chinese operating entities to the Cayman Islands holding company are also subject to the current PRC regulations, which permit the Chinese operating entities to pay dividends to their shareholders only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the operating entities to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have. To the extent funds or assets in the business are in the PRC or a PRC entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our company or the operating entities by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets” beginning on page 29 of this prospectus. Cash transfers from the Cayman Islands holding company to the investors are subject to the restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of China and governmental control of currency conversion. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — Restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of China and governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to pay dividends and other obligations, and affect the value of your investment” beginning on page 30 of this prospectus. Additionally, to the extent cash or assets in the business is in China or a Chinese operating entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of China due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our company or the operating entities by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets. See “Prospectus Summary — Cash Transfers and Dividend Distributions,” “Prospectus Summary — Summary of Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the operating entities to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have. To the extent funds or assets in the business are in the PRC or a PRC entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our company or the operating entities by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the operating entities to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights certain information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including our financial statements and related notes and the risks described under “Risk Factors.” Our actual results and future events may differ significantly based upon a number of factors. The reader should not put undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this document, which speak only as of the date on the cover of this prospectus.

Overview

We are an offshore holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We have no material operations of our own and conduct substantially all of our operations through the Chinese operating entities. Investors in our ordinary shares are purchasing equity interests in the Cayman Islands holding company, and not in the Chinese operating entities. We directly hold 100% equity interests in the Chinese operating entities and do not currently adopt VIE contractual agreements between the entities that may adversely affect investors or the value of their investment. Through the Chinese operating entities, we manage and operate six properties consisting of amusement parks, water parks and complementary recreational facilities. The parks of the operating entities occupy approximately 426,560 square meters of land in the aggregate and are located in geographically diverse markets across the south of China. Due to the geographical locations of the parks and the ease of travel, the parks are easily accessible to an aggregate population of approximately 21 million people. The parks offer a broad selection of exhilarating and recreational experiences, including both thrilling and family-friendly rides, water attractions, gourmet festivals, circus performances, and high-tech facilities. As of the date of this prospectus, the parks collectively contain 139 rides and attractions.

Our revenue is primarily generated from the Chinese operating entities’ selling access to rides and attractions, charging fees for special event rentals, and collecting regular rental payments from commercial tenants. Our revenue and net income have remained largely stable over the years. In the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, our revenue was US$38,517,742 and US$41,788,196, respectively. For the same fiscal years, our net income was US$13,580,375 and US$14,328,374, respectively, and the number of guest visits at the parks totaled approximately 2.40 million and 2.41 million, respectively. Our significant expenses are depreciation and amortization, real property rent, repairs and maintenance, utilities, and marketing costs.

Our corporate headquarters is in Yanping District, Nanping City, Fujian Province, China. According to government authorities in Fujian Province, Yanping District is known as “the birthplace of Chinese amusement park industry” and entrepreneurs from Yanping District have expanded beyond Yanping District and established their presence all across China. Through the operating entities, we are a leading amusement park operator in Yanping District and an active player in developing the Chinese amusement park industry. We aim to become the leading regional amusement park operator in China. To achieve our goal, we will endeavor to enhance guest experiences, develop appealing recreational products and services, boost our operational efficiency, and improve cost controls.

Our Strengths

We believe that the following strengths contribute to our growth and differentiate us from our competitors:

        easily accessible amusement park locations;

        continued guest commitment;

        experienced senior management teams; and

        the quality and variety of cost-effective entertainment offerings.

Our Strategies

We intend to grow our business using the following key strategies:

        attracting more guests;

        raising prices, which will be accompanied by new product introductions, infrastructure improvements, and/or more user-friendly facilities;

        developing membership programs;

        broadening service packages;

        introducing unique products; and

Our Corporate History and Structure

We are a Cayman Islands holding company and conduct our operations in China through Nanping Golden Heaven Amusement Park Management Co., Ltd. (“Golden Heaven WFOE”) and its subsidiaries. We hold 100% equity interests in our PRC subsidiaries, and we do not use a VIE structure.

As of the date of this prospectus, Golden Heaven WFOE has acquired 100% equity interests in the following PRC subsidiaries: (i) Changde Jinsheng Amusement Development Co., Ltd.

(“Yueyang Jinsheng”), and (vi) Mangshi Jinsheng Amusement Park Co., Ltd. (“Mangshi Jinsheng”).

In anticipation of this proposed initial public offering, we completed a reorganization of our corporate structure. We incorporated Golden Heaven Group Holdings Ltd. (“Golden Heaven Cayman”) under the laws of the Cayman Islands on January 8, 2020. We incorporated Golden Heaven Management Ltd (“Golden Heaven BVI”) under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on February 18, 2020, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Golden Heaven Cayman. We incorporated Golden Heaven Group Management Limited (“Golden Heaven HK”) in Hong Kong on February 26, 2020, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of Golden Heaven BVI. Golden Heaven HK holds all of the outstanding equity of Golden Heaven WFOE.

Summary of Risk Factors

Our business is subject to multiple risks and uncertainties, as more thoroughly described in “Risk Factors” starting on page 14 of this prospectus and elsewhere in this prospectus. We urge you to read “Risk Factors” and this prospectus in full. Our principal risks may be summarized as follows:

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry:

        The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the operating entities’ business and will adversely affect our results of operations and various other factors beyond our control could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the operating entities’ business and will adversely affect our results of operations and various other factors beyond our control could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations” on page 17.

        The parks managed by the operating entities are located on leased properties, and there is no assurance that the operating entities will be able to renew the leases or find suitable alternative premises upon the expiration of the relevant lease terms. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — The parks managed by the operating entities are located on leased properties, and there is no assurance that the operating entities will be able to renew the leases or find suitable alternative premises upon the expiration of the relevant lease terms” on page 18.

See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — The operating entities may not be able to maintain or increase the cost-effectiveness of their entertainment offerings” on page 18.

        The high fixed cost structure of park operations can result in significantly lower margins if revenues decline.

        Declines in discretionary guest spending and guest confidence, or changes in guest tastes and preferences, could affect the profitability of the operating entities’ business.

        The operating entities may be unable to contract with third-party suppliers for rides and attractions, and construction delays may occur and impact attraction openings. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — The operating entities may be unable to contract with third-party suppliers for rides and attractions, and construction delays may occur and impact attraction openings” on page 20.

        Financial distress experienced by business partners and other contract counterparties could have an adverse impact on the operating entities. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Financial distress experienced by business partners and other contract counterparties could have an adverse impact on the operating entities” on page 20.

        Incidents or adverse publicity concerning the parks or the amusement park industry in general could harm the brand, reputation or profitability of the operating entities.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC:

        The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the operating entities conduct their business activities, may intervene or influence such 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 such operations and the value of our ordinary shares, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC — The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which operating entities conduct their business activities, may intervene or influence such 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 such operations and the value of our ordinary shares, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless” on page 25.

        Failing to obtain the approval from provincial counterparts of the National Development and Reform Commission (the “NDRC”) or other PRC government authorities may have an adverse effect on the operating entities’ business activities.

Regulatory Developments

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, and adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews.

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”) came into effect on September 8, 2006 and were amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules, among other things, require that an offshore special purpose vehicle (the “SPV”), formed for overseas listing purposes and controlled directly or indirectly by PRC companies or individuals, shall obtain the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) prior to listing such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange, especially in the event that the SPV acquires shares or an equity interest in the PRC companies by offering the shares of any offshore companies.

On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”) issued the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (Revision Draft for Comments), or the Measures, for public comments, which propose to authorize the relevant government authorities to conduct cybersecurity review on a range of activities that affect or may affect national security, including listings in foreign countries by companies that possess the personal data of more than one million users. On December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) was promulgated and took effect on February 15, 2022, which iterates that any online platform operators controlling personal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review. The CAC has said that under the proposed rules companies holding data on more than 1,000,000 users must now apply for cybersecurity approval when seeking listings in other nations because of the risk that such data and personal information could be “affected, controlled, and maliciously exploited by foreign governments.” The cybersecurity review will also look into the potential national security risks from overseas IPOs.

As advised by our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), neither we nor the operating entities are subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC, since neither we nor the operating entities currently have over one million users’ personal information and do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information in the foreseeable future, which we understand might otherwise subject us to the Cybersecurity Review Measures.

On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (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”, and collectively with the Draft Administrative Provisions, the “Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing”), which stipulate that Chinese-based companies, or the issuer, shall fulfill the filing procedures after the issuer makes an application for initial public offering and listing in an overseas market, and certain overseas offering and listing such as those that constitute a threat to or endanger national security, as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with law, may be prohibited under the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing. On February 17, 2023, with the approval of the State Council, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”) and five supporting guidelines, which will come into effect on March 31, 2023. According to the Trial Measures, among other requirements, (1) domestic companies that seek to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, should fulfill the filing procedures with the CSRC; if a domestic company fails to complete the filing procedures, such domestic company may be subject to administrative penalties; and (2) where a domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities in an overseas market, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity responsible for all filing procedures with the CSRC, and such filings shall be submitted to the CSRC within three business days after the submission of the overseas offering and listing application. On the same day, the CSRC also held a press conference for the release of the Trial Measures and issued the Notice on Administration for the Filing of Overseas Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, which clarifies that (1) on or prior to the effective date of the Trial Measures, domestic companies that have already submitted valid applications for overseas offering and listing but have not obtained approval from overseas regulatory authorities or stock exchanges may reasonably arrange the timing for submitting their filing applications with the CSRC, and must complete the filing before the completion of their overseas offering and listing; (2) a six-month transition period will be granted to domestic companies which, prior to the effective date of the Trial Measures, have already obtained the approval from overseas regulatory authorities or stock exchanges, but have not completed the indirect overseas listing; if domestic companies fail to complete the overseas listing within such six-month transition period, they shall file with the CSRC according to the requirements; and (3) the CSRC will solicit opinions from relevant regulatory authorities and complete the filing of the overseas listing of companies with contractual arrangements which duly meet the compliance requirements, and support the development and growth of these companies.

According to our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), as of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of the PRC subsidiaries have been subject to any investigation, or received any notice, warning, or sanction from the CSRC or other applicable government authorities related to this offering. However, we will be required to file with the CSRC if we cannot obtain the approvals from the SEC and Nasdaq for this offering and listing before March 31, 2023, or if we obtain the approvals on or before March 31, 2023 but fail to complete this offering and listing on or before September 30, 2023. If we are required to file with the CSRC for this offering and listing, there is no assurance that we can complete such filing in a timely manner or even at all. Any failure by us to comply with such filing requirements may result in an order to rectify, warnings and fines against us and could materially hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities.

As further advised by our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), as of the date of this prospectus, we and the operating entities have received from PRC government authorities all requisite permits or licenses needed to engage in the businesses currently conducted in China.

In addition, our ordinary shares may be delisted from a national exchange or prohibited from being traded over-the-counter under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”) if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditor for two consecutive years. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued its determinations that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions, which determinations were vacated on December 15, 2022. Our auditor, B F Borgers CPA PC, has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, and it is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed the SOP Agreements with the CSRC and China’s Ministry of Finance. The SOP Agreements establish a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, as required under U.S. law. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any

U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time period for triggering the delisting of our Company and the prohibition of trading in our securities if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our accounting firm at such future time. If trading in our ordinary shares is prohibited under the HFCA Act in the future because the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, Nasdaq may determine to delist our ordinary shares and trading in our ordinary shares could be prohibited.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than US$1.235 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, or the JOBS Act. As long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may rely on exemptions from some of the reporting requirements applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company, we:

        may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or “MD&A;”

        are not required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives, which is commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”;

        are not required to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

        are not required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our shareholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);

        are exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and chief executive officer pay ratio disclosure;

        are eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act; and

        will not be required to conduct an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting until our second annual report on Form 20-F following the effectiveness of our initial public offering.

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

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions until we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least US$1.235 billion; (b) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering; (c) the date on which we have, during the preceding three-year period, issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (d) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act discussed above.

RISK FACTORS

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

We are providing the following summary of the risk factors contained in this prospectus to enhance the readability and accessibility of our risk factor disclosures. We encourage you to carefully review the full risk factors contained in this prospectus in their entirety for additional information regarding the risks that could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

        The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the operating entities’ business and will adversely affect our results of operations and various other factors beyond our control could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

        The parks managed by the operating entities are located on leased properties, and there is no assurance that the operating entities will be able to renew the leases or find suitable alternative premises upon the expiration of the relevant lease terms.

        The operating entities may not be able to maintain or increase the cost-effectiveness of their entertainment offerings.

        The high fixed cost structure of park operations can result in significantly lower margins if revenues decline.

        Declines in discretionary guest spending and guest confidence, or changes in guest tastes and preferences, could affect the profitability of the operating entities’ business.

        If the operating entities are unable to conduct marketing activities in a cost-effective manner, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

        The operating entities operate in a competitive industry and their revenues, profits or market share could be harmed if they are unable to compete effectively.

        Our historical financial and operating results are not indicative of future performance and our financial and operating results may fluctuate.

        The operating entities may not be able to fund capital investment in future projects and may not achieve the desired outcome of their growth initiatives.

        The operating entities may not succeed in their cost saving strategies.

        The operating entities may be unable to contract with third-party suppliers for rides and attractions, and construction delays may occur and impact attraction openings.

        Financial distress experienced by business partners and other contract counterparties could have an adverse impact on the operating entities.

14

Table of Contents

        If the operating entities’ intellectual property rights are infringed on by third-parties or if the operating entities are alleged or found to have infringed on the intellectual property rights of others, it may adversely affect the business of the operating entities.

        The operating entities’ business depends on the continued success of their brand, and if they fail to maintain and enhance the recognition of their brand, they may face difficulty expanding their business.

        Incidents or adverse publicity concerning the parks or the amusement park industry in general could harm the brand, reputation or profitability of the operating entities.

        Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings could reduce the profits or negatively affect the business operations of the operating entities.

        Bad or extreme weather conditions can reduce park attendance.

        Significant revenue is generated in Hunan Province, China. Therefore any risks affecting that area may materially adversely affect the business of the operating entities.

        The insurance coverage maintained by the operating entities may not be adequate to cover all possible losses and the insurance costs may increase.

        Interruptions or failures that impair access to information technology systems could adversely affect the business of the operating entities.

        Certain data and information in this prospectus were obtained from third-party sources and were not independently verified by us.

Risks Related to Doing business in the PRC

        Adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the operating entities’ business.

        The legal system of the PRC is not fully developed and there are inherent uncertainties that may affect the protection afforded to the operating entities’ business and our shareholders.

        The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the operating entities conduct their business activities, may intervene or influence such 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 such operations and the value of our ordinary shares, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

        Failing to obtain the approval from the NDRC’s provincial counterparts or other PRC government authorities may have an adverse effect on the operating entities’ business activities.

        The approval and/or other requirements of the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with an offering under PRC rules, regulations or policies, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or how soon we will be able to obtain such approval.

        Recent greater oversight by the CAC over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange, could adversely impact our business and our offering.

        PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject the operating entities to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into the operating entities, limit the operating entities’ ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits to us, or may otherwise adversely affect us.

        PRC laws and regulations establish more complex procedures for some acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.

15

Table of Contents

        We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the operating entities to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have. To the extent funds or assets in the business are in the PRC or a PRC entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our company or the operating entities by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets.

        PRC regulations of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore financing to make loans or additional capital contributions to the operating entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and business.

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

        Restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of China and governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to pay dividends and other obligations, and affect the value of your investment.

        Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses.

        The enforcement of the PRC Labor Contract Law and other labor-related regulations in the PRC may adversely affect the operating entities’ business and results of operations.

        The custodians or authorized users of our controlling non-tangible assets, including chops and seals, may fail to fulfill their responsibilities, or misappropriate or misuse these assets.

        If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.

        Our business may be materially and adversely affected if any of the operating entities declares bankruptcy or becomes subject to a dissolution or liquidation proceeding.

        If the operating entities are not in compliance with the relevant PRC tax laws and regulations, our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected.

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

        It may be difficult for overseas regulators to conduct investigation or collect evidence within China.

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

Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares and This Offering

        Recent joint statement by the SEC and the PCAOB proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable 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.

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

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

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

        If securities or industry analysts cease to publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding the ordinary shares, the market price for the ordinary shares and trading volume could decline.

16

Table of Contents

        Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of our ordinary shares in the public market could cause the price of our ordinary shares to decline.

        We currently do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering and you must rely on price appreciation of our ordinary shares for return on your investment.

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

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

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

        There can be no assurance that we will not be a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, which could subject United States holders of our ordinary shares to significant adverse United States federal income tax consequences.

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

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

        If we fail to establish and maintain proper internal financial reporting controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

        As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the Nasdaq listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with corporate governance listing standards.

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

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

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

        The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to rapid and substantial volatility.

The following risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating us and this prospectus. Certain statements in “Risk Factors” are forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this prospectus.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the operating entities’ business and will adversely affect our results of operations and various other factors beyond our control could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, quarantines, travel restrictions, social distancing rules, and lockdown measures have been implemented and may be re-implemented pursuant to governmental orders and mandates in China. These actions, in addition to concerns relating to the public health impacts of the virus, may prevent the operating entities from conducting business activities at full capacity and may lead to temporary cessation of certain business activities.

17

Table of Contents

For example, in the fourth quarter of 2021, China experienced severe COVID-19 outbreaks and implemented various COVID-19 restrictions. As a result, the operating entities were adversely affected. Tongling West Lake Amusement World was closed from March 16 to April 10, 2022, and the number of guest visits per month at each amusement park declined by approximately 1,000 to 23,000 from February 2022 to April 2022. Since the end of 2022, China has eased the COVID-19 restrictions.

Despite the ongoing economic recovery, the extent and duration of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic over the long term and the measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have a significant adverse impact on the operating entities’ business, including future park closures, disruptions in business activities, restrictions on travel, prohibitions on public gatherings, decrease in park attendance, and reduction in guest spending, any of which events could materially and adversely impact our financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition to the COVID-19 pandemic, various other factors beyond our control could adversely affect the operating entities’ business, our financial condition, and results of operations. Such factors include, but are not limited to:

        natural disasters, such as hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, floods and volcanic eruptions and man-made disasters, such as oil spills, any of which may deter travelers from scheduling vacations or cause them to cancel travel or vacation plans;

        outbreaks of pandemic or contagious diseases or guests’ concerns relating to potential exposure to travel-related health concerns, such as pandemics and epidemics such as coronaviruses, Ebola, Zika, Influenza H1N1, avian bird flu, SARS and MERS;

        changes in the desirability of particular locations or guest travel patterns;

        oil prices and travel costs and the financial condition of the airline, automotive and other transportation-related industries, any travel-related disruptions or incidents and their impact on travel, particularly to or in cities where we have parks;

        war, terrorist activities or threats and heightened travel security measures instituted in response to these events;

        actions or statements by governmental officials related to travel and the resulting public perception of travel; and

        interruption of public or private utility services to the parks.

Any one or more of these factors could adversely affect attendance, revenue, and per capita spending at the parks, which could adversely affect the operating entities’ business, and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.

The parks managed by the operating entities are located on leased properties, and there is no assurance that the operating entities will be able to renew the leases or find suitable alternative premises upon the expiration of the relevant lease terms.

All of the parks managed by the operating entities are located on properties leased from the local governments in China. Although the operating entities are entitled to the right of first refusal to renew all of the current leases upon their expiration and have maintained good relationships with the governments, there is no assurance that the operating entities will be able to renew such leases on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In the event that the operating entities are unable to renew the current leases, they will be forced to relocate and may not be able to find suitable alternative premises. Even if they are able to find desirable alternative locations, they may incur extraordinary relocation costs, hefty rental payments and significant managerial expenses. If any of these events occurs, the operating entities’ business, and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

The operating entities may not be able to maintain or increase the cost-effectiveness of their entertainment offerings.

The operating entities offer a variety of cost-effective recreational experiences to the park guests. The current pricing for their entertainment offerings is based, in part, on the guests’ spending power and has remained at a relatively low level. The operating entities could be compelled to increase the pricing due to various factors beyond their control including, but not limited to, any deterioration of general economic or other conditions in the areas where the parks

18

Table of Contents

are located, increases in the prices charged by the suppliers, impairment to the major assets in the parks, increases in repairs and maintenance costs, and changes in market trends and competition. If any of these events takes place, the operating entities may not be able to maintain or increase the cost-effectiveness of their entertainment offerings. As a result, their business, and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The high fixed cost structure of park operations can result in significantly lower margins if revenues decline.

The operating entities’ significant expenses are attributed to depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, real property rent, repairs and maintenance, utilities, and marketing costs. A large portion of the expenses does not vary significantly with park attendance and is relatively fixed. These fixed expenses may increase at a greater rate than the revenues and may not be able to decrease at the same rate as declining revenues. If cost-saving efforts are insufficient to offset declines in revenues or are impracticable, the operating entities could experience a material decline in margins, revenues, profitability and reduced or negative cash flows.

Declines in discretionary guest spending and guest confidence, or changes in guest tastes and preferences, could affect the profitability of the operating entities’ business.

The operating entities’ success depends to a significant extent on (i) their ability to provide quality entertainment products, (ii) their ability to satisfy changing guest preferences, and (iii) the availability of discretionary guest spending. If the operating entities are unable to meet the changing preferences of the markets or the entertainment products that they offer do not achieve sufficient guest acceptance, they may not be able to maintain the existing guest patronage or attract new guests. In addition, severe economic downturns coupled with high volatility and uncertainty as to the future economic landscape could have an adverse effect on guests’ discretionary income and guest confidence. If the operating entities are unable to meet the changing guest demands, or if discretionary guest spending decreases, the operating entities’ business, and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

If the operating entities are unable to conduct marketing activities in a cost-effective manner, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

The operating entities utilize a broad mix of marketing and promotional programs, including online advertising, social marketing, and outdoor advertising activities, to attract prospective guests. There is no assurance that these marketing and promotional programs will always be well received or result in the anticipated levels of sales, that these programs will always be implemented in a cost-effective manner, that these programs will always keep pace with industry development and guest preferences, or that the operating entities will be able to recruit or retain experienced marketing employees. Failures to implement the existing marketing programs in a cost-effective manner or to introduce new branding approaches to adapt to the evolving trends could reduce the operating entities’ market share, cause their revenue to decline and negatively impact their profitability.

The operating entities operate in a competitive industry and their revenues, profits or market share could be harmed if they are unable to compete effectively.

The parks of the operating entities compete with other theme, water and amusement parks and with other types of recreational facilities and forms of entertainment. The principal competitive factors in the amusement park industry include location, scale, and the variety and perceived quality of the rides and attractions. The amusement park industry is also subject to factors that affect the recreation industries generally, such as general economic conditions, travel restrictions, and changes in guest spending habits. Certain competitors of the operating entities may have substantially greater financial resources, may be able to adapt more quickly to changing guest preferences, may devote greater resources to rides and attractions, may develop new rides, attractions or shows that are perceived to be of a higher quality and entertainment value, and may attract a greater number of guests than the operating entities. As a result, the operating entities may not be able to compete successfully against such competitors. If they are unable to compete effectively, their business, and our financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our historical financial and operating results are not indicative of future performance and our financial and operating results may fluctuate.

In the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, our revenue was US$38,517,742 and US$41,788,196, respectively. For the same fiscal years, our net income was US$13,580,375 and US$14,328,374, respectively. The results of operations of the operating entities may vary from period to period in response to a variety of factors

19

Table of Contents

beyond our control, including general economic conditions, regulatory actions pertaining to the amusement park industry, changes in guest spending and preferences, as well as non-recurring charges incurred in connection with extraordinary transactions. Due to these and other factors, our historical financial performance, growth rates, profitability and operating results may not indicate future performance and you should not rely on them to predict our future performance.

The operating entities may not be able to fund capital investment in future projects and may not achieve the desired outcome of their growth initiatives.

Because a principal competitive factor in the amusement park industry is the variety and perceived quality of the rides and attractions, the operating entities need to make continued capital investments on the addition of new rides and attractions and the improvements of the existing facilities. These growth initiatives may require significant commitments of capital investments. The ability to fund capital investments will depend on the ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and raise capital from third parties. There is no assurance that the operating entities will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that they will be able to obtain sufficient financing on adequate terms, or at all, which could cause the operating entities to delay or abandon certain capital investment projects. Even if the operating entities are able to fund capital investments, there is no assurance that their growth initiatives will enhance guest experiences as planned or increase revenues at the expected rate. If the operating entities are unable to recover the costs associated with their growth initiatives or to realize the intended benefits of their growth initiatives, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The operating entities may not succeed in their cost saving strategies.

The operating entities continue to identify and execute on cost-saving opportunities designed to improve operational efficiencies and optimize project management. There is no assurance that the operating entities will be able to achieve or sustain cost savings, realize or sustain operational efficiencies, or achieve other benefits that they may initially expect. Such failures may result in various unnecessary costs, temporary operational inefficiencies, and could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

The operating entities may be unable to contract with third-party suppliers for rides and attractions, and construction delays may occur and impact attraction openings.

The success of the operating entities depends, to a large extent, on the continued operation of their parks and the offering of quality rides and attractions to their guests. The operating entities may be unable to purchase or contract with third-party suppliers to build quality rides and attractions, to maintain those rides and attractions at competitive prices, or to provide the replacement parts needed to maintain the operation of such rides and attractions. In addition, if the third-party suppliers’ financial condition deteriorates or if they go out of business, the operating entities may not be able to obtain the full benefit of warranties or indemnities typically contained in their contracts or may need to incur greater costs for the maintenance, repair, or replacement of these assets. The operating entities may experience downtime for the existing rides and attractions or incur unanticipated construction delays in completing new capital investment projects, which could adversely affect attraction openings, park attendance and revenues.

Financial distress experienced by business partners and other contract counterparties could have an adverse impact on the operating entities.

The operating entities are party to numerous contracts of varying durations. Although the operating entities attempt to assess the creditworthiness of their business partners and other contract counterparties, there is no assurance as to the creditworthiness of any such business partner or contract counterparty. In the future, some of these business partners and contract counterparties may be highly leveraged, may be subject to operating, market and regulatory risks, and may experience severe financial problems that can have a significant impact on their creditworthiness. Any material nonperformance of contractual arrangements by these business partners and contract counterparties or any financially distress experienced by them could adversely impact the operating entities’ business, and, in turn, our results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

Increased labor costs, inability to retain suitable employees, or unfavorable labor relations may adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations.

The operating entities are driven by the mission to provide quality services and valued experiences to their guests. To accomplish this mission, the operating entities devote significant resources to recruiting and training their employees. Their ability to manage and control labor costs is subject to numerous external factors, including market pressures with respect to prevailing wage rates, unemployment levels, health and other insurance costs, as well as the impact of legislation or regulations governing wage and employee benefits. Any changes in these external factors could significantly increase labor costs, which would reduce the net income and cash flows of the operating entities.

The operating entities aim to motivate and retain qualified employees. If the employees are unsatisfied with what the operating entities offer, such as remuneration packages or working environment, the operating entities may not be able to retain qualified employees or replace them with personnel of appropriate skill sets and personal attributes at comparable costs. In such event, the operating entities may need to expend additional resources to retain or replace suitable employees.

From time to time, the operating entities may be subject to various employment-related claims, such as individual actions or government enforcement actions relating to wage-hour, labor standards, or healthcare and benefit issues. Such actions, if brought against the operating entities and successful in whole or in part, may materially and adversely affect the business of the operating entities, and our financial condition or results of operations.

If the operating entities lose key personnel, their business may be adversely affected.

The operating entities depend on the continued contributions of key employees, including members of senior management teams who have extensive experience in the amusement park industry. Our senior management teams have approximately 20 years of management experience on the average. Failure to attract, motivate and retain key employees, changes in the senior management teams, or failure to develop and implement a viable succession plan, could adversely affect the business and future success of the operating entities. In addition, if any member of senior management teams or any other key employee joins a competitor or forms a competing company, the operating entities may experience difficulty in managing their business effectively. Any such disruption or difficulty in filling key management roles could have a material adverse impact on the business of the operating entities.

If the operating entities’ intellectual property rights are infringed on by third-parties or if the operating entities are alleged or found to have infringed on the intellectual property rights of others, it may adversely affect the business of the operating entities.

The operating entities’ intellectual property, including trademarks, domain names, copyright, and other proprietary rights, constitutes significant value to the operating entities’ business. To protect these intellectual property rights, the operating entities primarily rely upon the relevant intellectual property laws of the PRC. However, there is no assurance that this form of protection will be successful in any given case, particularly since the laws of the PRC do not protect proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. The operating entities may be unable to timely and effectively prevent, detect, or address the misappropriation, infringement or violation of their intellectual property rights, which could adversely affect their revenues and business.

The operating entities have not been subject to any adverse claims, proceedings or actions relating to the intellectual property rights of themselves or of any third party in the PRC. There is no assurance that the operating entities do not and will not infringe the intellectual property rights of others. The operating entities may be subject to litigation and other claims in the future, in the ordinary course of their business, based on allegations of infringement or other violations of the intellectual property rights of others. Regardless of their merits, intellectual property claims can divert the management’s efforts and can be time-consuming and expensive to litigate or settle. In addition, to the extent claims against the operating entities are successful, the operating entities may have to pay substantial monetary damages or discontinue, modify, or rename certain products or services that are found to be in violation of another party’s rights. The operating entities may have to seek a license, if available on acceptable terms or at all, to continue offering products and services, which may significantly increase operating expenses.

Table of Contents

The operating entities’ business depends on the continued success of their brand, and if they fail to maintain and enhance the recognition of their brand, they may face difficulty expanding their business.

We believe the market awareness of the operating entities’ brand has contributed significantly to the success of their business. Maintaining and enhancing their brand is critical to their efforts to increase their network of partners and guests. The operating entities’ ability to compete effectively depends on the perceived value of their goods and services versus competing alternatives. A failure by their guests to distinguish between the operating entities’ brand and the services provided by their competitors may result in a reduction in sales volume and revenue.

Incidents or adverse publicity concerning the parks or the amusement park industry in general could harm the brand, reputation or profitability of the operating entities.

The park operation involves the risk of accidents, illnesses, environmental issues, and other incidents which may cause a loss of guest confidence, reduce guest attendance, and harm the operating entities’ brand, reputation or profitability. In addition, other types of adverse publicity concerning the operating entities’ business, their management teams, or the amusement park industry in general could harm the business of the operating entities. The considerable expansion in the use of social media over recent years has compounded the impact of negative publicity. There may be perception issues and negative media attention that could materially adversely affect the business of the operating entities, and, in turn, our financial condition, and results of operations.

Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings could reduce the profits or negatively affect the business operations of the operating entities.

The operating entities have been subject to various legal proceedings. In 2021, Yueyang Jinsheng Amusement Development Co., Ltd. (“Yueyang Jinsheng”) was involved in a dispute with a guest who was physically injured during her visit to Yueyang Amusement World. The court ordered Yueyang Jinsheng to pay damages in the amount of RMB159,826.44. As of the date of this prospectus, the outstanding amount of such damages has been paid in full. The operating entities were subject to two other similar actions initiated by injured guests and such actions have been fully resolved as of the date of this prospectus. In 2022, the operating entities were not subject to any litigation.

In addition, the operating entities were involved in other disputes, such as labor and contract disputes. See “Business — Legal Proceedings.” There may be no or inadequate insurance policies to cover related payment liabilities. However, according to our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), these proceedings and outstanding payment liabilities do not materially adversely affect the business of the operating entities, or our financial condition and results of operations.

The operating entities may, in the future, be subject to allegations, claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of their business, which may include claims by shareholders and claims by third parties, including guests, suppliers, business partners, or regulators. If any of these proceedings is determined adversely against the operating entities, or results in judgments, fines or settlements involving a payment of a material sum of money, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, negative publicity could adversely affect the reputation and brand of the operating entities. Even the successful defense of these proceedings may cause the operating entities to incur substantial legal costs and may divert management’s attention and resources.

Bad or extreme weather conditions can reduce park attendance.

Bad or extreme weather conditions and forecasts of bad or mixed weather conditions may adversely affect park attendance and revenue. Bad or extreme weather conditions could decrease park attendance and revenue by various degrees, depending on the specific locations and weather conditions. Since the operating entities’ parks are geographically concentrated in the southern portion of China, a weather pattern affecting that area could adversely affect a number of parks and disproportionately impact their results of operations.

22

Table of Contents

Significant revenue is generated in Hunan Province, China. Therefore any risks affecting that area may materially adversely affect the business of the operating entities.

In the fiscal years of 2021 and 2022, a significant portion of the operating entities’ revenue was generated in Hunan Province, China. Any risks described in this prospectus, such as the occurrence of natural disasters and travel-related disruptions, affecting Hunan Province may materially adversely affect the business of the operating entities, especially if they have the effect of decreasing park attendance or, in extreme cases, cause park closures for any period of time, which could adversely affect our financial condition, or results of operations.

The insurance coverage maintained by the operating entities may not be adequate to cover all possible losses and the insurance costs may increase.

Although the operating entities carry public liability insurance policies for each park, there can be no assurance that these insurance policies will be sufficient to cover the full extent of all losses or liabilities in the parks. If the operating entities experience events for which they are not insured or if they experience losses in excess of the insurance coverage maintained, it could adversely affect their business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations. The operating entities generally renegotiate and renew their insurance policies on an annual basis. There is no assurance that they will be able to renew the current insurance policies on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, if the operating entities or the other park operators sustain significant losses or make significant insurance claims, then the operating entities’ ability to obtain future insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates could be materially and adversely affected.

Interruptions or failures that impair access to information technology systems could adversely affect the business of the operating entities.

The operating entities rely on information technology systems to process, transmit, and store information in relation to their operations. For example, the operating entities use proprietary park management software to admit guests to the parks, to activate and reload prepaid cards for access to rides and attractions, and to monitor and conduct daily operations. These information technology systems may be vulnerable to interruption due to a variety of events beyond control, including but not limited to, natural disasters, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hacking and other security issues. Any material interruptions or failures in these information technology systems could cause disruptions in business operations and may require a significant investment to update, remediate or replace with alternate systems. The costs and potential problems associated with supporting, maintaining, remediating and upgrading the existing information technology systems, or with implementing new systems, may severely disrupt the business operations of the operating entities.

Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC

Adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the operating entities’ business.

The parks managed by the operating entities are located in six different cities in China. Accordingly, the operating entities’ business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in China generally. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most of the developed countries in many respects, including the level of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth through allocating resources, setting monetary policy, and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past four decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the rate of growth has been slowing since 2012. Any adverse changes in economic conditions in China, in the policies of the Chinese government, or in social conditions in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments could adversely affect the operating entities’ business and operating results, lead to reduction in demand for their services and adversely affect their competitive position. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on the operating entities. For example, the operating entities’ financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. In addition, in the past the Chinese government has implemented certain measures, including interest rate adjustment, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in China, which may, in turn, adversely affect our business and operating results.

The legal system of the PRC is not fully developed and there are inherent uncertainties that may affect the protection afforded to the operating entities’ business and our shareholders.

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Prior court decisions under the civil law system may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and the enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties.

In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. 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 that we enjoy. These uncertainties may affect our judgment on the relevance of legal requirements and our ability to enforce our contractual rights or tort claims. Furthermore, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all and may have retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of any of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the operating entities conduct their business activities, may intervene or influence such 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 such operations and the value of our ordinary shares, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

The Chinese government has exercised, and continues to exercise, substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. The operating entities’ ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in Chinese laws and regulations, including those relating to securities regulation, data protection, cybersecurity and mergers and acquisitions and other matters. The PRC central or local governments may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on the operating entities’ part for compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Government actions in the future could significantly affect economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require the operating entities to materially change their operating activities or divest themselves of any interests they hold in Chinese assets. The operating entities’ business may be subject to various types of government and regulatory interference, such as requiring the operating entities to gain the approval from CSRC before this listing and to conduct a cyber security review. The operating entities may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. The operating entities’ operations could be adversely affected by existing or future laws and regulations relating to the amusement park business or industry.

Any of these events could result in a material change in the operations of the operating entities and the value of our ordinary shares. The Chinese government has indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers. Any such actions by the Chinese government could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Failing to obtain the approval from the NDRC’s provincial counterparts or other PRC government authorities may have an adverse effect on the operating entities’ business activities.

According to the PRC law, small and medium-sized theme parks, with the area between 0.8 square kilometers and 2.4 square kilometers, or the investment between RMB0.2 billion and RMB1.5 billion, need to obtain the approval from the NDRC’s provincial counterparts. According to our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), two of the amusement parks that are operated by the operating entities, Tongling West Lake Amusement World and Yueyang Amusement World, fulfill the standard of small- and medium-sized theme parks. Therefore, these two parks are subject to the approval of the NDRC’s provincial counterparts. The other four parks managed by the operating entities are not subject to the Theme Park Opinions. As of the date of this prospectus, both Tongling West Lake Amusement World and Yueyang Amusement World failed to gain the approval of the NDRC’s provincial counterparts and applications for their approval were filed only with the NDRC’s city counterparts, because the relevant government authorities had the misunderstanding that these two parks were not subject to the Theme park Opinions. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any administrative action, fine or penalty from the relevant government authorities with respect to such non-compliance. We have received the confirmation from both the NDRC of Junshan District, Yueyang City and the NDRC of Tongling City, that the construction of Yueyang Amusement World and Tongling West Lake Amusement World have been filed with the NDRC’s city counterparts, and if these two parks are later found to require further approval under the Theme Park Opinions, such authorities will assist with gaining such approval.

The approval and/or other requirements of the CSRC or other PRC government authorities may be required in connection with an offering under PRC rules, regulations or policies, and, if required, we cannot predict whether or how soon we will be able to obtain such approval.

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, purport to require offshore special purpose vehicles that are controlled by PRC companies or individuals and that have been formed for the purpose of seeking a public listing on an overseas stock exchange through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies or assets to obtain CSRC approval prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. There remains uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in the context of an overseas offering.

On July 6, 2021, the relevant PRC government authorities made public the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities, which provided that the administration and supervision of overseas-listed China-based companies will be strengthened, and the special provisions of the State Council on overseas issuance and listing of shares by such companies will be revised, clarifying the responsibilities of domestic industry competent authorities and regulatory authorities.

On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (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”, and collectively with the Draft Administrative Provisions, the “Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing”), which stipulate that Chinese-based companies, or the issuer, shall fulfill the filing procedures after the issuer makes an application for initial public offering and listing in an overseas market, and certain overseas offering and listing such as those that constitute a threat to or endanger national security, as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with law, may be prohibited under the Draft Rules Regarding Overseas Listing. On February 17, 2023, with the approval of the State Council, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”) and five supporting guidelines, which will come into effect on March 31, 2023. According to the Trial Measures, among other requirements, (1) domestic companies that seek to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, should fulfill the filing procedures with the CSRC; if a domestic company fails to complete the filing procedures, such domestic company may be subject to administrative penalties; and (2) where a domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities in an overseas market, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity responsible for all filing procedures with the CSRC, and such filings shall be submitted to the CSRC within three business days after the submission of the overseas offering and listing application. On the same day, the CSRC also held a press conference for the release of the Trial Measures and issued the Notice on Administration for the Filing of Overseas Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, which clarifies that (1) on or prior to the effective date of the Trial Measures, domestic companies that have already submitted valid applications for overseas offering and listing but have not obtained approval from overseas regulatory authorities or stock exchanges may reasonably arrange the timing for submitting their filing applications with the CSRC, and must complete the filing before the completion of their overseas offering and listing; (2) a six-month transition period will be granted to domestic companies which, prior to the effective date of the Trial Measures, have already obtained the approval from overseas regulatory authorities or stock exchanges, but have not completed the indirect overseas listing; if domestic companies fail to complete the overseas listing within such six-month transition period, they shall file with the CSRC according to the requirements; and (3) the CSRC will solicit opinions from relevant regulatory authorities and complete the filing of the overseas listing of companies with contractual arrangements which duly meet the compliance requirements, and support the development and growth of these companies.

According to our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), as of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of the PRC subsidiaries have been subject to any investigation, or received any notice, warning, or sanction from the CSRC or other applicable government authorities related to this offering. However, we will be required to file with the CSRC in relation to this offering and listing if we cannot obtain the approvals from the SEC and Nasdaq before March 31, 2023, or if we obtain the approvals on or before March 31, 2023 but fail to complete this offering and listing on or before September 30, 2023. If we are required to file with the CSRC for this offering and listing, there is no assurance that we can complete such filing in a timely manner or even at all. Any failure by us to comply with such filing requirements may result in an order to rectify, warnings and fines against us and could materially hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities.

In addition, if the PRC government authorities later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for filings, registrations or other kinds of authorizations for an offering, there is no assurance that we can obtain the approval, authorizations, or complete required procedures or other requirements in a timely manner, or at all, or obtain a waiver of the requisite requirements if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver.

Recent greater oversight by the CAC over data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange, could adversely impact our business and our offering.

On December 28, 2021, 13 governmental departments of the PRC, including the CAC, jointly promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. The Cybersecurity Review Measures provide that, in addition to critical information infrastructure operators (“CIIOs”) that intend to purchase Internet

26

Table of Contents

products and services, net platform operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security must be subject to cybersecurity review by the Cybersecurity Review Office of the PRC. According to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, a cybersecurity review assesses potential national security risks that may be brought about by any procurement, data processing, or overseas listing. The Cybersecurity Review Measures require that an online platform operator which possesses the personal information of at least one million users must apply for a cybersecurity review by the CAC if it intends to be listed in foreign countries.

On November 14, 2021, the CAC published the Draft Regulations on the Network Data Security Administration (Draft for Comments) (the “Security Administration Draft”), which provides that data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security must be subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC. According to the Security Administration Draft, data processing operators shall apply for a cybersecurity review by the relevant Cyberspace Administration of the PRC under certain circumstances, such as (i) mergers, restructurings, and divisions of Internet platform operators that hold large amount of data relating to national security, economic development, or public interest which affects or may affect the national security, (ii) overseas listings of data processors that process personal data for more than one million individuals, (iii) Hong Kong listings of data processors that affect or may affect national security, and (iv) other data processing activities that affect or may affect the national security. The deadline for public comments on the Security Administration Draft was December 13, 2021.

The PRC Data Security Law, which was promulgated by the SCNPC on June 10, 2021 and took effect on September 1, 2021, requires data collection to be conducted in a legitimate and proper manner, and stipulates that, for the purpose of data protection, data processing activities must be conducted based on data classification and hierarchical protection system for data security.

On August 20, 2021, the SCNPC promulgated the Personal Information Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the Personal Information Protection Law, which integrates the scattered rules with respect to personal information rights and privacy protection and took effect on November 1, 2021.

In addition, the PRC regulatory authorities have recently taken steps to strengthen the regulations on data protection and conducted several rounds of relevant inspections. The Rules on the Scope of Necessary Personal Information for Common Types of Mobile Internet Applications, which came into effect on May 1, 2021 (the “Necessary Personal Information Rules”), require that the operators of mobile apps shall not deny the users who do not consent to the collection of unnecessary personal information from using the basic functions and services of such apps. In addition, under the Necessary Personal Information Rules, “necessary personal information” refers to personal information necessary for ensuring the normal operation of an app’s basic functional services. The basic functional services of the operating entities’ apps are providing instant messaging services through texts, pictures, voice, and video, where the necessary personal information includes mobile phone numbers and account numbers of registered users and lists of accounts of instant messaging contact persons.

As advised by our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), neither we nor the operating entities are subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC, since neither we nor the operating entities currently have over one million users’ personal information and do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information in the foreseeable future, which we understand might otherwise subject us to the Cybersecurity Review Measures. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notice from any authorities identifying the operating entities as CIIOs or requiring us or the operating entities to undergo a cybersecurity review or network data security review by the CAC. The operating entities have taken measures to ensure their compliance with related cybersecurity laws.

There remains uncertainty as to how the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Security Administration Draft 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 the Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Security Administration Draft. If any such new laws, regulations, rules, or implementation and interpretation come into effect, we will take all reasonable measures and actions to comply and to minimize the adverse effect of such laws on us. Furthermore, many specific requirements of the Personal Information Protection Law and other laws related to data securities remain to be clarified by the CAC, other regulatory authorities, and the courts, for practical application. We may be required to adjust our business practices to comply with the personal information protection laws and regulations. There is no assurance that PRC regulatory agencies, including the CAC, would take the same view as we do, and there is no assurance that we can fully or timely comply with such laws should they be deemed to be applicable

to the operations of the operating entities. There is no certainty as to how such review or prescribed actions would impact such operations and we cannot guarantee that any clearance can be obtained, or maintained, if approved, or any actions that may be required can be taken in a timely manner, or at all.

PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRC residents may subject the operating entities to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into the operating entities, limit the operating entities’ ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits to us, or may otherwise adversely affect us.

The Circular on Relevant Issues Relating to Domestic Resident’s Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, was promulgated by the SAFE in July 2014 that requires PRC residents or entities to register with SAFE or its local branch, currently with local bank according to Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Simplifying and Improving Policies for the Foreign Exchange Administration of Direct Investment issued by SAFE on February 13, 2015, in connection with their establishment or control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas investment or financing. In addition, any PRC resident who is a direct or indirect shareholder of an offshore company is required to update the previously filed registration with the local branch of the SAFE, with respect to that offshore company, to reflect any material change involving its round-trip investment, capital variation, such as an increase or decrease in capital, transfer or swap of shares, merger or division. These regulations apply to our shareholders who are PRC residents and may apply to any offshore acquisitions that we make in the future.

We have requested PRC residents holding direct or indirect interest in Company to our knowledge to make the necessary applications, filings and amendments as required by applicable foreign exchange regulations. We are committed to complying with and to ensuring that our shareholders who are subject to the regulations will comply with the relevant SAFE rules and regulations. However, due to the inherent uncertainty in the implementation of the regulatory requirements by PRC authorities, such registration might not be always practically available in all circumstances as prescribed in those regulations. In addition, we may not always be able to compel them to comply with SAFE Circular 37 or other related regulations. There is no assurance that the SAFE or its local branches will release explicit requirements or interpret the relevant PRC Laws otherwise. Failure by any such shareholders to comply with SAFE Circular 37 may result in restrictions on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant PRC enterprise and may also subject the relevant PRC resident to penalties under the PRC foreign exchange administration regulations. All of the PRC resident shareholders of our Company completed the initial foreign exchange registration on August 1, 2022.

PRC laws and regulations establish more complex procedures for some acquisitions of PRC companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in China.

A number of PRC laws and regulations, including the M&A Rules, the Anti-monopoly Law promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress in August 2007, the Rules of Ministry of Commerce on Implementation of Security Review System of Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce in August 2011, and the Measures for the Security Review of Foreign Investment promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC, or NDRC and the Ministry of Commerce in December 2020 have established procedures and requirements that are expected to make merger and acquisition activities in China by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex. These include requirements in some instances that the approval from the Ministry of Commerce be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC enterprises or residents acquire affiliated domestic companies. PRC laws and regulations also require certain merger and acquisition transactions involving an industry that implicates national security to be subject to merger control review or security review.

In the future, we may further grow our business by acquiring businesses. Complying with the requirements of the above-mentioned regulations and other relevant rules to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the Ministry of Commerce or its local counterparts may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions. Our ability to expand our business or maintain or expand our market share through future acquisitions would be materially and adversely affected.

We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the operating entities to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have. To the extent funds or assets in the business are in the PRC or a PRC entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our company or the operating entities by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets.

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and we operate our business principally through the operating entities in the PRC. Therefore, the availability of funds to us to pay dividends to our shareholders and to service our indebtedness depends upon dividends received from these operating entities. The operating entities’ ability to distribute dividends is based upon their distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit the operating entities to pay dividends to their respective shareholders only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of the operating entities is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Each of such entities in China is also required to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at the discretion of its board of directors. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If the operating entities incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. Any limitation on the ability of the operating entities to distribute dividends or other payments to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our businesses, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Under the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax and Regulations for the Implementation of the Law on Enterprise Income Tax, dividends, interests, rent or royalties payable by a foreign-invested enterprise to any of its foreign non-resident enterprise investors, and proceeds from any such foreign enterprise investor’s disposition of assets (after deducting the net value of such assets) are subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless the foreign enterprise investor’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a reduced rate of withholding tax. The Cayman Islands, where our Company is incorporated, does not have such a tax treaty with China. Hong Kong has a tax arrangement with China that provides for a 5% withholding tax on dividends subject to certain conditions and requirements, such as the requirement that the Hong Kong resident enterprise own at least 25% of the PRC enterprise distributing the dividend at all times within the 12-month period immediately preceding the distribution of dividends and be a “beneficial owner” of the dividends. Golden Heaven Group Management Limited, which indirectly owns the equity of the operating entities in the PRC, is incorporated in Hong Kong. However, if Golden Heaven Group Management Limited is not considered to be the beneficial owner of dividends paid to it by the operating entities under the tax circulars promulgated in February and October 2009, such dividends would be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 10%. If the operating entities declare and distribute profits to us, such payments will be subject to withholding tax, which will increase our tax liability and reduce the amount of cash available to our Company.

PRC regulations of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore financing to make loans or additional capital contributions to the operating entities, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and business.

We may transfer funds to the operating entities or finance the operating entities by means of shareholders’ loans or capital contributions after completion of this offering. Any loans to the operating entities, which are foreign-invested enterprises, cannot exceed a statutory limit, and shall be filed with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, or its local counterparts. Furthermore, any capital contributions we make to the operating entities shall be registered with the PRC State Administration for Market Regulation or its local counterparts, and filed with the Ministry of Commerce (“MOFCOM”) or its local counterparts.

On March 30, 2015, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Reforming the Administration Measures on Conversion of Foreign Exchange Registered Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19. SAFE Circular 19, however, allows foreign invested enterprises in China to use their registered capital settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies to make equity investments, but the registered capital of a foreign invested company settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies remains not allowed to be used, among other things, for investment in the security markets, or offering entrustment loans, unless otherwise regulated by other laws and regulations. On June 9, 2016, SAFE further issued the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital Accounts, or SAFE Circular 16, which, among other things, amended certain provisions of Circular 19. According to SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16,

29

Table of Contents

the flow and use of the RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign invested company is regulated such that Renminbi capital may not be used for purposes beyond its business scope or to provide loans to non-affiliates unless otherwise permitted under its business scope. On October 23, 2019, SAFE promulgated the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Promoting the Facilitation of Cross-Border Trade and Investment, or SAFE Circular 28, which removes the restrictions on domestic equity investments by non-investment foreign-invested enterprises with their capital funds, provided that certain conditions are met. The applicable foreign exchange circulars and rules may limit our ability to transfer the net proceeds from this offering and convert the net proceeds into RMB, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

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

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. The operating entities are subject to Chinese anti-corruption laws, which strictly prohibit the payment of bribes to government officials. The operating entities have operations, agreements with third parties, and make sales in China, which may experience corruption. The activities in China create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by the employees, consultants or distributors of our Company, because these parties are not always subject to our control.

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

Restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of China and governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to pay dividends and other obligations, and affect the value of your investment.

The PRC government imposes controls and restrictions on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. The majority of our income is received in Renminbi and shortages in the availability of foreign currencies may restrict our ability to pay dividends or other payments, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations, if any. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. Approval from appropriate government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the PRC to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may, at its discretion, impose restrictions on access to foreign currencies for current account transactions and if this occurs in the future, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses.

The value of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies fluctuates, is subject to changes resulting from the PRC government’s policies and depends to a large extent on domestic and international economic and political developments as well as supply and demand in the local market. In July 2005, the PRC government changed its decades-old policy of pegging the value of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar, and Renminbi appreciated more than 20% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, Renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. With the development of the foreign exchange market and progress towards interest rate liberalization and Renminbi internationalization, the PRC government may in the future announce further changes to the exchange rate system and there is no assurance that Renminbi will not appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the future. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.

The proceeds from this offering will be received in U.S. dollars. As a result, any appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar may result in the decrease in the value of our proceeds from this offering. Conversely, any depreciation of the Renminbi may adversely affect the value of, and any dividends payable on, our ordinary shares in foreign currency. In addition, there are limited instruments available for us to reduce our foreign currency risk exposure at reasonable costs. All of these factors could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, and could reduce the value of, and dividends payable on, our ordinary shares in foreign currency terms.

The enforcement of the PRC Labor Contract Law and other labor-related regulations in the PRC may adversely affect the operating entities’ business and results of operations.

The PRC Labor Contract Law became effective on January 1, 2008 and was amended on December 28, 2012. The Labor Contract Law introduced specific provisions related to fixed-term employment contracts, part-time employment, probationary periods, consultation with labor unions and employee assemblies, employment without a written contract, dismissal of employees, severance, and collective bargaining to enhance previous PRC labor laws. Under the Labor Contract Law, an employer is obligated to sign an unlimited-term labor contract with any employee who has worked for the employer for ten consecutive years. Further, if an employee requests or agrees to renew a fixed exchange rates that has already been entered into twice consecutively, the resulting contract must have an unlimited term, subject to certain exceptions. With certain exceptions, an employer must pay severance to an employee where a labor contract is terminated or expires. In addition, the PRC government authorities have continued to introduce various new labor-related regulations since the effectiveness of the Labor Contract Law.

Under the PRC Social Insurance Law and the Administrative Measures on Housing Fund, employees are required to participate in pension insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, and housing provident funds and employers are required, together with their employees or separately, to pay the social insurance premiums and housing provident funds for their employees. In the years of 2020, 2021 and 2022, the operating entities did not pay social insurance contributions and housing provident fund contributions in full for all of the employees. According to the Social Insurance Law, an employer that fails to make social insurance contributions may be ordered to pay the outstanding social insurance contributions within the deadline and may be liable to a late payment fee which equals to 0.05% of the outstanding amount for each day of delay. The employer also may be liable to a fine from one to three times the amount of the outstanding contributions if it fails to make such payments. According to the Regulations on Management of Housing Fund, an enterprise that fails to make housing fund contributions may be ordered to rectify the noncompliance and pay the required contributions within a stipulated deadline; if the enterprise fails to rectify the non-compliance with the stipulated deadline, it may be subject to a fine ranging from RMB10,000 or RMB50,000 and an application may be made to a local court for compulsory enforcement. These laws are designed to enhance labor protection tend to increase the operating entities’ labor costs. In addition, as the interpretation and implementation of these regulations are still evolving, the operating entities’ employment practices may not be at all times be deemed in compliance with the regulations. As a result, they could be subject to penalties or incur significant liabilities in connection with labor disputes or investigations.

As of the date of this prospectus, the operating entities have not changed their basis of social insurance contributions and housing provident fund contributions and have not received any notification from the relevant government authorities requiring them to pay shortfalls or the penalties with respect to social insurance and housing provident funds. In addition, the operating entities have not been subject to any administrative penalties, material litigation or legal proceedings, nor have any of them been notified of any material employee complaints nor involved in any material labor disputes with their employees with respect to social insurance and housing provident fund contributions. All the operating entities also have obtained from the relevant Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and Housing Provident Fund Management Center written confirmations that there is no need to pay any additional social insurance premiums and housing provident funds (including late payment fees and other forms of economic penalties). As advised by our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), the risk of being penalized by the relevant authorities is remote. The operating entities expect to make full contributions or pay any shortfall within a prescribed time period if demanded by the relevant government authorities, which event is not expected to have any potential impact on the securities offered.

The custodians or authorized users of our controlling non-tangible assets, including chops and seals, may fail to fulfill their responsibilities, or misappropriate or misuse these assets.

Under the PRC law, legal documents for corporate transactions, including agreements and contracts are executed using the chop or seal of the signing entity or with the signature of a legal representative whose designation is registered and filed with relevant PRC market regulation administrative authorities.

In order to secure the use of our chops and seals, we have established internal control procedures and rules for using these chops and seals. In any event that the chops and seals are intended to be used, the responsible personnel will apply and the application will be verified and approved by authorized employees in accordance with our internal control procedures and rules. In addition, in order to maintain the physical security of our chops, we generally have them stored in secured locations accessible only to authorized employees. Although we monitor such authorized employees, the procedures may not be sufficient to prevent all instances of abuse or negligence. There is a risk that the employees could abuse their authority, for example, by entering into a contract not approved by us or seeking to gain control of one of our subsidiaries. If any employee obtains, misuses or misappropriates our chops and seals or other controlling non-tangible assets for whatever reason, there could be disruptions to our normal operations. We may have to take corporate or legal action in such an event, which could involve significant time and resources to resolve and divert management from our operations.

If we are classified as a PRC resident enterprise for PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, an enterprise established outside of the PRC with its “de facto management body” within the PRC is considered a “resident enterprise” and will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax on its global income at the rate of 25%. The implementation rules define the term “de facto management body” as the body that exercises full and substantial control and overall management over the business, productions, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In 2009, the SAT issued a circular (“SAT Circular 82”), which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the “de facto management body” of a PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is located in China. One of the criteria is that a company’s major assets, accounting books and minutes and files of its board and shareholders’ meetings are located or kept in the PRC. In addition, the SAT issued Administrative Measures for Income Tax on Chinese-controlled Resident Enterprises Incorporated Overseas (Trial Implementation) on July 27, 2011, effective from September 1, 2011, providing more guidance on the implementation of the SAT Circular 82. This bulletin clarifies matters including residence status determination, post-determination administration and competent tax authorities. Although both the SAT Circular 82 and the bulletin only apply to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises or PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRC individuals or foreigners, the criteria set forth in the circular may reflect the SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” text should be applied in determining the tax resident status of all offshore enterprises.

We believe none of our entities outside of China is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.” As substantially all of our management members are based in China, it remains unclear how the tax residency rule will apply to us. If the PRC tax authorities determine that our Company or any of our subsidiaries outside of China is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, then our Company or such subsidiary could be subject to PRC tax at a rate of 25% on its world-wide income, which could materially reduce our net income. In addition, we will also be subject to PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. Furthermore, if the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, gains realized on the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares may be subject to PRC tax, at a rate of 10% in the case of non-PRC enterprises or 20% in the case of non-PRC individuals (in each case, subject to the provisions of any applicable tax treaty), if such gains are deemed to be from PRC sources. It is unclear whether non-PRC shareholders of our Company would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise. Any such tax may reduce the returns on your investment in our ordinary shares.

Our business may be materially and adversely affected if any of the operating entities declares bankruptcy or becomes subject to a dissolution or liquidation proceeding.

The Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of the PRC, or the Bankruptcy Law, came into effect on June 1, 2007. The Bankruptcy Law provides that an enterprise will be liquidated if the enterprise fails to settle its debts as and when they fall due and if the enterprise’s assets are, or are demonstrably, insufficient to clear such debts. The operating entities hold substantially all of the assets that are important to our operations. If any of these entities undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets, thereby materially and adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.

According to SAFE’s Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Improving and Adjusting Foreign Exchange Administration Policies for Direct Investment, promulgated on November 19, 2012 and amended on May 4, 2015, and the Provisions on the Foreign Exchange Administration of Domestic Direct Investment of Foreign Investors, effective on May 13, 2013, if any of the operating entities undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, prior approval from SAFE for remittance of foreign exchange to our shareholders abroad is no longer required, but we still need to conduct a registration process with the SAFE local branch. It is not clear whether “registration” is a mere formality or involves the kind of substantive review process undertaken by SAFE and its relevant branches in the past.

If the operating entities are not in compliance with the relevant PRC tax laws and regulations, our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected.

The operating entities purchased certain fixed assets without obtaining a VAT invoice. If such invoice is not obtained, the depreciation of fixed assets cannot be deducted when calculating the income tax payable. As of the date of this prospectus, no administrative actions, fines or penalties have been imposed on the operating entities by the relevant PRC tax authorities, nor has any order been received by the operating entities to settle the outstanding amount of tax liabilities.

However, the operating entities are subject to periodic examinations on the fulfillment of tax obligations under the PRC tax laws and regulations by PRC tax authorities. If the operating entities fail to fulfill tax obligations for any reasons, they may be subject to fines, other penalties or actions upon examinations by PRC tax authorities. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

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

Recently, U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S.-listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our Company. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend the Company. This situation may be a major distraction to our management. If such allegations are not proven to be groundless, our Company and business operations will be severely hampered and your investment in our ordinary shares could be rendered worthless.

It may be difficult for overseas regulators to conduct investigation or collect evidence within China.

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigation that are common in the United States generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside China. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with the securities

33

Table of Contents

regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, or Article 177, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. While detailed interpretation of or implementation rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests.

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

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. In addition, substantial amount of our assets is located in China and most of our senior executive officers and directors reside within China for a significant portion of the time. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside mainland China. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors as none of them currently resides in the United States or has substantial assets located in the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. The PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other forms of written arrangement with the United States that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, the PRC courts will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC laws or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

Risks Related to our Ordinary Shares and This Offering

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

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

On May 20, 2020, the Senate passed the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requiring a foreign company to certify it is not owned or manipulated by a foreign government if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the company uses a foreign auditor not subject to PCAOB inspection. If the PCAOB is unable to inspect the company’s auditors for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are prohibited to trade on a national exchange.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. We will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies us as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above. In May 2021, the PCAOB issued for public comment a proposed rule related to the PCAOB’s responsibilities under the Holding Foreign Companies

Table of Contents

Accountable Act, which, according to the PCAOB, would establish a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. The proposed rule was adopted by the PCAOB in September 2021, pending the final approval of the SEC to become effective.

On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in China and in Hong Kong because of positions taken by PRC and Hong Kong authorities in those jurisdictions. The PCAOB has made such determination, as mandated under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. Pursuant to each annual determination by the PCAOB, the SEC will, on an annual basis, identify issuers that have used non-inspected audit firms and thus are at risk of such suspensions in the future.

On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed the SOP Agreements with the CSRC and China’s Ministry of Finance. The SOP Agreements establish a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, as required under U.S. law. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination.

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

Our auditor, B F Borgers CPA PC, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor is headquartered in Lakewood, CO, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. It is not subject to the determinations issued by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021.

If for whatever reason the PCAOB is unable to conduct full inspections of our auditor, such uncertainty could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted or prohibited from being traded “over-the-counter”. If our securities were unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our ordinary shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our ordinary shares.

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

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our ordinary shares. The initial offering price of our ordinary shares is the result of negotiations between us and the underwriters, and the initial offering price may differ significantly from the market price for our ordinary shares following the offering. There is no assurance that an active trading market for our ordinary shares will develop or that the market price for our ordinary shares will not decline below the initial public offering price.

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

If you purchase the ordinary shares in this offering, you will pay more for your ordinary shares than the amount paid by our existing shareholders for their ordinary shares on a per share basis. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $3.46 per share, after giving effect to this offering and an assumed initial public offering price of $4.50 per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated range of the initial public offering price shown on the front cover of this prospectus.

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

The trading price of our ordinary shares is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, including the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in China that have listed their securities in the United States. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our ordinary shares may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:

        Actual or anticipated variations in our revenues, earnings, cash flow, and changes or revisions of our expected results;

        fluctuations in operating metrics;

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

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

        changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

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

        changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies in our industry;

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

        additions or departures of key personnel;

        regulatory developments affect us or our industry;

        general economic or political conditions in China or elsewhere in the world;

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

        potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

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

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

If securities or industry analysts cease to publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding the ordinary shares, the market price for the ordinary shares and trading volume could decline.

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

Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of our ordinary shares in the public market could cause the price of our ordinary shares to decline.

Sales of our ordinary shares in the public market after this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to decline. All ordinary shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or additional registration under the Securities Act. The remaining ordinary shares issued and outstanding after this offering will be available for sale, upon the expiration of the lock-up periods after the commencement of sales of the offering, subject to volume and other restrictions as applicable provided in Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act. Our pre-IPO shareholders may be able to sell their ordinary shares under Rule 144 after the completion of this offering. Because these shareholders have paid a lower price per ordinary share than participants in this offering, when they are able to sell their pre-IPO shares under Rule 144, they may be more willing to accept a lower sales price than the IPO price. This fact could impact the trading price of the ordinary shares following the completion of the offering, to the detriment of participants in this offering. Under Rule 144, before our pre-IPO shareholders can sell their shares, in addition to meeting other requirements, they must meet the required holding period. To the extent shares are released before the expiration of the lock-up period and sold into the market, the market price of our ordinary shares could decline.

We currently do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering and you must rely on price appreciation of our ordinary shares for return on your investment.

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

Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from the operating entities, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our ordinary shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our ordinary shares. There is no guarantee that our ordinary shares will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased the ordinary shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our ordinary shares and you may even lose your entire investment in our ordinary shares.

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

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

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

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

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association and any special resolutions passed by such companies, and the register of mortgages and charges of such companies) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Our directors have discretion under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association that will become effective immediately prior to completion of this offering to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of our board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Description of Share Capital — Differences in Corporate Law.”

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

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

There can be no assurance that we will not be a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, which could subject United States holders of our ordinary shares to significant adverse United States federal income tax consequences.

A non-United States corporation will be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income for such taxable year is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that that produce or are held for the production of passive income. Based on the current and anticipated value of our assets and the composition of our income assets, we do not expect to be a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for our current taxable year ended September 30, 2021 or in the foreseeable future. However, the determination of whether or not we are a PFIC according to the PFIC rules is made on an annual basis and depend on the composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time. Therefore, changes in the composition of our income or assets or value of our assets may cause us to become a PFIC. The determination of the value of our assets (including goodwill not reflected on our balance sheet) may be based, in part, on the quarterly market value of ordinary shares, which is subject to change and may be volatile.

Table of Contents

The classification of certain of our income as active or passive, and certain of our assets as producing active or passive income, and hence whether we are or will become a PFIC, depends on the interpretation of certain United States Treasury Regulations as well as certain guidance from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, relating to the classification of assets as producing active or passive income. Such regulations guidance is potentially subject to different interpretations. If due to different interpretations of such regulations and guidance the percentage of our passive income or the percentage of our assets treated as producing passive income increases, we may be a PFIC in one of more taxable years. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a United States person holds ordinary shares, certain adverse United States federal income tax consequences could apply to such United States person.

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

We are classified as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act because we generated less than US$1.235 billion in revenues for our last fiscal year. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be up to five full fiscal years, unlike other public companies, we will not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer, (iii) provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies, or (iv) hold nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if we have more than $1.235 billion of revenues in a fiscal year, have more than $700 million in market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

To the extent that we rely on any of the exemptions available to emerging growth companies, you will receive less information about our executive compensation and internal control over financial reporting than issuers that are not emerging growth companies. If some investors find our ordinary shares to be less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our ordinary shares and our share price may be more volatile.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If we fail to establish and maintain proper internal financial reporting controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we will be required to file a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting, including an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. However, while we remain an emerging growth company,

39

Table of Contents

we will not be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. The presence of material weakness in internal control over financial reporting could result in financial statement errors, which, in turn, could lead to error our financial reports and/or delays in our financial reporting, which could require us to restate our operating results. We might not identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal controls in connection with evaluating our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. We will need to expend significant resources and provide significant management oversight. Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may require specific compliance training of our directors and employees, entail substantial costs in order to modify our existing accounting systems, take a significant period of time to complete and divert management’s attention from other business concerns. These changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal control.

If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in our operating results, the price of the ordinary shares could decline and we may be subject to litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. In addition, if we are unable to meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the ordinary shares may not be able to remain listed on the exchange.

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the Nasdaq listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with corporate governance listing standards.

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to take advantage of certain provisions in the Nasdaq listing standards that allow us to follow Cayman Islands law for certain governance matters. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands may differ significantly from corporate governance listing standards as, except for general fiduciary duties and duties of care, Cayman Islands law has no corporate governance regime which prescribes specific corporate governance standards. Currently, we do not intend to rely on home country practice with respect to our corporate governance after we complete with this offering. However, if we choose to follow home country practice in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

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

Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company and expect to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some corporate activities more time-consuming and costlier.

As a result of becoming a public company, we will need to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. We also expect that operating as a public company will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

In addition, after we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC.

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

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

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

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

The price of our ordinary shares could be subject to rapid and substantial volatility.

There have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with recent initial public offerings, especially among those with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with a 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. In particular, our ordinary shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades, and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our ordinary shares.

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

Table of Contents

different from our expectations are generally set forth in “Prospectus Summary — Summary of Risk Factors,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business,” “Regulation” and other sections in this prospectus. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should read thoroughly this prospectus and the documents that we refer to with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

This prospectus contains information derived from government and private publications. These publications include forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we believe the data and information to be reliable, we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the data and information contained in these publications. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions. The Chinese amusement park industry may not grow at the rate projected by market data, or at all. Failure of these markets to grow at the projected rate may have a material and adverse effect on our business and the market price of our shares. In addition, the rapidly evolving nature of the amusement park industry results in significant uncertainties for any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our market. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business.” Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are made based on events and information as of the date of this prospectus. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this prospectus and the documents that we refer to in this prospectus and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results or performance may materially differ from what we expect.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately US$9 million, based on the assumed initial public offering price of $4.50 per ordinary share, which is the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance and estimated offering expenses payable by us. A US$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of US$4.50 per ordinary share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately US$2 million, assuming the number of ordinary shares offered by us, as set forth on the front cover of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance, and estimated expenses payable by us.

We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows:

        approximately 40% of the net proceeds from this offering for expanding our market share by constructing new amusement parks, and by acquiring or investing in businesses engaged in the amusement park development; although, as of the date of this prospectus, we have not identified, or engaged in any material discussions regarding, any potential target;

        approximately 20% of the net proceeds from this offering for upgrading our existing amusement parks, software and systems;

        approximately 10% of the net proceeds from this offering for improving our internal control;

        approximately 10% of the net proceeds from this offering for increasing our brand recognition through marketing and promotional activities;

        approximately 10% of the net proceeds from this offering for working capital purposes;

        approximately 5% of the net proceeds from this offering for increasing employees’ compensation and benefit packages, and investing in job training; and

        approximately 5% of the net proceeds from this offering for emergency funds to be used when needed.

The amounts and timing of any expenditures will vary depending on the amount of cash generated by our operations, and the rate of growth, if any, of our business, and our plans and business conditions. The foregoing represents our intentions as of the date of this prospectus based upon our current plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. However, our management will have significant flexibility and discretion in applying the net proceeds of this offering. Unforeseen events or changed business conditions may result in application of the proceeds of this offering in a manner other than as described in this prospectus.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our board of directors. In either case, all dividends are subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that we may only pay dividends out of profits or share premium, and provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if it would result in us being unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

We do not have any plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our ordinary shares in the foreseeable future after this offering. We intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and future earnings to operate and expand our business.

We are an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We rely principally on dividends distributed by our PRC subsidiaries and payments from the operating entities for our cash requirements, including distribution of dividends to our shareholders. Dividends distributed by our PRC subsidiaries are subject to PRC taxes.

In addition, PRC regulations may restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us and only allow a PRC company to pay dividends out of its accumulated distributable after-tax profits as determined in accordance with its articles of association and the PRC accounting standards and regulations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the PRC.”

DILUTION

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

Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022, was $49,607,356, or $0.99 per ordinary share. Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets, less the amount of our total consolidated liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting the net tangible book value per ordinary share (as adjusted for the offering) from the assumed initial public offering price per ordinary share and after deducting the estimated discounts to the underwriters, non-accountable expense allowance and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

After giving effect to our sale of 2,000,000 ordinary shares offered in this offering based on the assumed initial public offering price of $4.50 per ordinary share after deduction of the estimated discounts to the underwriters and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022, would have been $54,289,623, or approximately $1.04 per outstanding ordinary share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.00 per ordinary share to the existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $3.46 per ordinary share to investors purchasing ordinary shares in this offering. The as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to enjoy the following benefits: (a) political and economic stability; (b) an effective judicial system; (c) a favorable tax system; (d) the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and (e) the availability of professional and support services. However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include:

        the Cayman Islands has a less exhaustive body of securities laws than the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors; and

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

Our constitutional documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, among us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

We conduct a substantial amount of our operations in China, and a substantial amount of our assets are located in China. A majority our officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. It may also be difficult for shareholder to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our executive officers and directors.

We have appointed Cogency Global Inc. as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.

We have been advised by our Cayman Islands legal counsel that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would:

        recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; and

        entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

There is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign judgment, without any re-examination or re-litigation of matters adjudicated upon, provided such judgment:

(a)     is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction;

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

(c)     is final;

(d)    is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty;

(e)     was not obtained by fraud; and

(f)     is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

Subject to the above limitations, in appropriate circumstances, a Cayman Islands court may give effect in the Cayman Islands to other kinds of final foreign judgments such as declaratory orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions.

Our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether PRC courts would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (ii) entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated

48

Table of Contents

upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Our PRC legal counsel, AllBright Law Offices (Fuzhou), has advised us that the PRC Civil Procedures Law governs the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. The PRC does not have any treaties or other agreements with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. According to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they determine that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or the Cayman Islands. Under the PRC Civil Procedures Law, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on PRC law against us in the PRC, if they can establish sufficient nexus to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction, and meet other procedural requirements, including, among others, the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case, and there must be a concrete claim, a factual basis and a cause for the suit. It will be difficult for U.S. shareholders to originate actions against us in China in accordance with PRC laws because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders, by virtue only of holding our ordinary shares, to establish a connection to China for a PRC court to have jurisdiction as required under the PRC Civil Procedures Law.

In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the BVI or Hong Kong would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the British Virgin Islands or Hong Kong against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

There is uncertainty with regard to British Virgin Islands law as to whether a judgment obtained from the United States courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the British Virgin Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the British Virgin Islands are also unlikely to recognize or enforce the judgment against a British Virgin Islands company. Because the courts of the British Virgin Islands have yet to rule on whether such judgments are penal or punitive in nature, it is uncertain whether they would be enforceable in the British Virgin Islands. Although there is no statutory enforcement in the British Virgin Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States, in certain circumstances a judgment obtained in such jurisdiction may be recognized and enforced in the courts of the British Virgin Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the High Court of the British Virgin Islands, provided such judgment:

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

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

        is final;

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

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

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

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

Foreign judgments of United States courts will not be directly enforced in Hong Kong as there are currently no treaties or other arrangements providing for reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments between Hong Kong and the United States. However, the common law permits an action to be brought upon a foreign judgment. That is to say, a foreign judgment itself may form the basis of a cause of action since the judgment may be regarded as creating a debt between the parties to it. In a common law action for enforcement of a foreign judgment in Hong Kong, the enforcement is subject to various conditions, including but not limited to, that the foreign judgment is a final judgment

conclusive upon the merits of the claim, the judgment is for a liquidated amount in civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges, the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice, and the enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Hong Kong. Such a judgment must be for a fixed sum and must also come from a “competent” court as determined by the private international law rules applied by the Hong Kong courts. The defenses that are available to a defendant in a common law action brought on the basis of a foreign judgment include lack of jurisdiction, breach of natural justice, fraud, and contrary to public policy. However, a separate legal action for debt must be commenced in Hong Kong in order to recover such debt from the judgment debtor. As a result, subject to the conditions with regard to enforcement of judgments of United States courts being met, including but not limited to the above, a foreign judgment of United States of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any State or territory within the United States could be enforceable in Hong Kong.

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

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

Overview

Through the operating entities, we mainly engage in the construction, development, management and operation of urban amusement parks, water parks, amusement projects and amusement facilities in China. Over the years, the operating entities have repeatedly introduced advanced and popular large-scale amusement facilities and other recreational products designed to attract visitors from geographically diverse markets across the south of China. The operating entities’ entertainment offerings include large water attractions, gourmet festivals, circus performances, and high-tech facilities, such as a six-ring spinning roller coaster, a 6D cinema, and virtual reality equipment. To develop our business, we focus on ensuring our guest safety, improving the quality of our services, and enhancing the leisure experiences that we offer.

We operate our business activities primarily through the operating entities in China. As of the date of this prospectus, the operating entities have opened six amusement parks throughout China, namely Yunnan Yuxi Jinsheng Amusement Park, Mangshi Jinsheng Amusement Park, Changde Jinsheng Amusement Park, Yunnan Qujing Jinsheng Amusement Park, Anhui Tongling West Lake Amusement World, and Yueyang Amusement World. These amusement parks are each located in the heart of tourist cities or in close proximity to national tourist attractions.

Our revenue increased from US$38,517,742 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 to US$41,788,196 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, representing a year on year increase of 8.49%, mainly due to the increase of revenue from sales of in-park recreation. We believe our operating results will be further improved, due to the anticipated increase in customer demands after the COVID-19 pandemic and the introduction of new amusement facilities in the amusement park industry.

Key Factors that Affect Operating Results

We believe our results of operations are affected by general factors impacting the Chinese economy, such as the economic conditions in China and the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, and specific factors impacting the Chinese amusement park industry and our business, such as uncertainties related to leased properties, capital investment requirements in amusement facilities, safety and maintenance of amusement facilities, and weather conditions.

Economic Conditions in China

Although the Chinese economy has grown in recent years, its growth rate has declined and may continue to decline. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the annual economic growth rate in China was 7.6% in 2014, 7.0% in 2015, 6.8% in 2016, 6.9% in 2017, 6.8% in 2018, 6.1% in 2019, 2.3% in 2020, 8.1% in 2021, and 3.0% in 2022. A further slowdown in the economic growth, an economic downturn, a recession or other adverse economic conditions in China may materially reduce the purchasing power of Chinese consumers, and thus lead to a decrease in the demand for the operating entities’ amusement products. Such a decrease in demand may have a material adverse effect on the operating entities’ business. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing business in the PRC — Adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the operating entities’ business.”

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

Since 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused major global disruptions. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese government has implemented various quarantines, travel restrictions, social distancing rules, and lockdown measures. In the fourth quarter of 2021, there were severe COVID-19 outbreaks in several provinces in China, which adversely affected the operating entities’ business. Tongling West Lake Amusement World was closed from March 16 to April 10, 2022, and the number of guest visits per month at each amusement park declined by approximately 1,000 to 23,000 from February 2022 to April 2022. Since the end of 2022, China has eased the COVID-19 restrictions. Although China has begun to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are still regional outbreaks due to new COVID-19 variants. The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a significant adverse impact on the operating entities’ business, including park closures, disruptions in business activities, decrease in park attendance, and reduction in guest spending. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the operating entities’ business and will adversely affect our results of operations and various other factors beyond our control could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.”

Leased Properties

The parks managed by the operating entities are located on leased properties, and there is no assurance that the operating entities will be able to renew such leases or find suitable alternative premises upon the expiration of the applicable lease terms. See “Business — Real Property,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — The parks managed by the operating entities are located on leased properties, and there is no assurance that the operating entities will be able to renew the leases or find suitable alternative premises upon the expiration of the relevant lease terms.”

Investment in New Amusement Facilities

We believe that innovative amusement facilities will enable us to maintain the existing guest patronage, attract new guests, and provide guests with better experiences. In the past 9 years, we have kept introducing new facilities in our amusement parks. We have built one virtual reality science lab and one virtual reality experience hall and will build additional similar facilities in the future. We will introduce other new amusement facilities in the future, which may require significant commitments of capital investment and will likely cause short-term decrease in revenue. See “Business — Capital Investments,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — The operating entities may not be able to fund capital investment in future projects and may not achieve the desired outcome of their growth initiatives.”

Maintenance of Amusement Facilities

The safety of amusement facilities is important to the operation and reputation of the operating entities’ parks. It requires qualified staff and constant and significant expenditures to maintain the safe service of amusement facilities, many of which have been used for more than 3 years. As of the date of this prospectus, nearly 114 facilities, or 81% of the amusement facilities of the operating entities, are used for more than 3 years and the annual maintenance costs for such amusement facilities reach approximately RMB4.1 million (US$0.62 million). As of the date of this prospectus, 79 facilities, or 56% of the amusement facilities of the operating entities, are used for more than 5 years and the annual maintenance costs for such amusement facilities reach approximately RMB1.9 million (US$0.29). See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — The high fixed cost structure of park operations can result in significantly lower margins if revenues decline.”

Weather Conditions

The operating entities’ business fluctuates with weather conditions. Cold temperatures in the winter and rainy seasons in the summer can result in decreased guest volumes and can create potential safety risks because most of the recreational products and services are outdoors. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Bad or extreme weather conditions can reduce park attendance.”

Key Performance Indicators

In evaluating the operating entities’ financial performance, a key indicator is the popularity and profitability of rides and attractions. If a certain ride turns out to be popular and profitable, the operating entities will consider installing similar rides when upgrading the existing parks or when building a new park. For example, the most popular ride

Table of Contents

in the fiscal years 2022 and 2021 was the pendulum ride in Yueyang Amusement World, which generated annual revenue of US$1.68 million and US$1.10 million, respectively. During the fiscal year 2022, the most popular rides and attractions by type across the operating entities’ parks were (i) pendulum rides, which generated revenue in the amount of US$4.02 million, (ii) sky-high swing rides, which generated revenue in the amount of US$3.01 million, (iii) pirate ships, which generated revenue in the amount of US$2.40 million, (iv) mini shuttle rides, which generated revenue in the amount of US$2.28 million, and (v) bumper cars, which generated revenue in the amount of US$2.10 million. During the fiscal year 2021, the most popular rides and attractions by type across the operating entities’ parks were (i) pendulum rides, which generated revenue in the amount of US$4.12 million, (ii) sky-high swing rides, which generated revenue in the amount of US$3.16 million, (iii) pirate ships, which generated revenue in the amount of US$2.78 million, (iv) mini shuttle rides, which generated revenue in the amount of US$2.23 million, and (v) bumper cars, which generated revenue in the amount of US$2.00 million. The operating entities record and assess the financial performance related to each ride and attraction.

Another key performance indicator is the revenue per square meter, which is useful in measuring and evaluating the efficiency of operations. During the fiscal year 2022, the revenue per square meter for each month on average in Yuxi Jinsheng Amusement Park, Mangshi Jinsheng Amusement Park, Qujing Jinsheng Amusement Park, Changde Jinsheng Amusement Park, Tongling West Lake Amusement World, and Yueyang Amusement World was US$89.0835, US$19.8949, US$45.6189, US$46.8861, US$9.5039, and US$3.8016, respectively. During the fiscal year 2021, the revenue per square meter for each month on average in Yuxi Jinsheng Amusement Park, Mangshi Jinsheng Amusement Park, Qujing Jinsheng Amusement Park, Changde Jinsheng Amusement Park, Tongling West Lake Amusement World, and Yueyang Amusement World was US$68.9329, US$20.0020, US$48.1606, US$43.6299, US$7.9236, and US$3.1257, respectively.
