PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

1,250,000 Ordinary Shares

CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited

This is an initial public offering of our ordinary shares. We are offering on a firm commitment basis our ordinary shares, par value $0.0005 per share (“Ordinary Shares”). 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 $6.00 per Ordinary Share. We have applied to list our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CCTG”, and this offering is conditioned upon final approval from Nasdaq to listing our Ordinary Shares. We cannot guarantee that our application will be approved, but will not complete this offering unless our Ordinary Shares will be listed on Nasdaq upon the completion of this offering. Revere Securities LLC is acting as the representative of the underwriters of this offering.

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 13 to read about factors you should consider before buying our Ordinary Shares.

We are not a Chinese operating company, but rather a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Our Ordinary Shares offered in this prospectus are shares of our Cayman Islands holding company, which has no material operations of its own and conducts its operations through subsidiaries established in Hong Kong, mainland China, and the Netherlands. Holders of our Ordinary Shares do not directly own any equity interests in our operating subsidiaries, but instead own shares of a Cayman Islands holding company. The Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow our corporate structure, which would likely result in a material change in our operations and/or a material change in the value of our Ordinary Shares, including that it could cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. Unless otherwise stated, as used in this prospectus and in the context of describing our operations and consolidated financial information, “we,” “us,” “Company,” “CCSC Cayman”, “our company”, or “our,” refers to CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands holding company. For a description of our corporate structure, see “Corporate History and Structure.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under applicable U.S. securities laws and are eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements. Please read the disclosures beginning on page 9 of this prospectus for more information.

The chairman of the board of directors of the Company, Dr. Chi Sing Chiu, beneficially owns and will continue to own at least 50% of the voting power of our Company after the closing of this offering, therefore we are a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq listing rules. However, even if we qualify as a “controlled company,” we do not intend to rely on the controlled company exemptions provided under the Nasdaq listing rules. For more information about risks relating to “controlled company”, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Ordinary Shares and This Offering — Since Dr. Chi Sing Chiu, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company, will own at least 50% of our Ordinary Shares following the initial public offering, he will have the ability to elect directors and approve matters requiring shareholder approval by way of resolution of members.

We face legal and operational risks associated with having substantial operations in mainland China through our PRC subsidiary, CCSC Interconnect DG, which designs and manufactures interconnect products. The government of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) has significant authority to exert influence on a China-based company, such as us, to conduct its business. Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could materially adversely affect our business and results of operations. These risks could result in a material change in our operations and/or 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 such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. In particular, recent statements and regulatory actions by China’s government, such as those related to the data security or anti-monopoly concerns, as well as the ability of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) to inspect our auditors, may impact our ability to conduct our business, accept foreign investments, or be listed on a U.S. or other foreign stock exchange. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China.”

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using the variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. As confirmed by our PRC counsel, Jincheng Tongda & Neal Law Firm (“JT&N”), neither we nor our PRC subsidiary are subject to cybersecurity review by the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”), pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which were jointly promulgated on December 28, 2021 by the CAC, the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”), the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (“MIIT”), the Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Stated Security, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (“MOF”), the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC ( “MOFCOM”), Peoples Bank of China (“PBOC”), the State Administration for Market Regulation (“SAMR”), the National Radio and Television Administration, the China Securities Regulation Commission (“CSRC”), the National Administration of State Secrets Protection, and the State Cryptography Administration and took effect on February 15, 2022. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on a U.S. exchange or other foreign exchange. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — Recent greater oversight by the CAC over cybersecurity and data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange, could adversely impact our business and our proposed offering.

In addition, on February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”) and five (5) supporting guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, a PRC domestic company that seek to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, shall submit the required filing materials with the CSRC within three (3) business days following its submission of an application for its initial public offering or listing applications. If a PRC domestic company fails to complete required filing procedures, conceals any material fact or falsifies any major content in its filing documents, such PRC domestic company may be subject to administrative penalties, such as an order to rectify, warnings, fines, and its controlling shareholders, actual controllers, the person directly in charge and other directly liable persons may also be subject to administrative penalties, such as warnings and fines. According to the Notice on the Administrative Arrangements for the Filing of the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies that was issued by the CSRC on February 17, 2023, or the “CSRC Notice”, beginning on March 31, 2023, PRC domestic companies that had submitted valid applications for overseas offering and listing but did not obtain the approval from overseas

 

Table of Contents

regulatory authorities or overseas stock exchanges shall complete the required filing procedures with the CSRC prior to the completion of their overseas offering and listing. In compliance with the Trial Measures, we submitted our filing materials to the CSRC on August 31, 2023. Upon examination of our filing materials, the CSRC informed us in writing on November 6, 2023 that we do not fall within the scope of the filing requirements and are thus not required to complete the filing procedures under the Trial Measures at this time. However, we cannot assure you that we will not become subject to the filing requirements in the future, if the CSRC issues any further guidelines that otherwise subjects us to them. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — The New Overseas Listing Rules and other relevant rules promulgated by the CSRC may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future.”

As of the date of this prospectus, CCSC Cayman has not paid dividends or made any distributions to any investors, nor were any transfers, dividends, or distributions made between CCSC Cayman and its subsidiaries. We intend to keep any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. As such, we have not installed any cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred among CCSC Cayman, its subsidiaries, or investors. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Ordinary Shares and This Offering — We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.” Under the Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend on its shares out of either profits, if any, or share premium amounts, provided that under no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business. Under our current corporate structure, we may rely on dividend payments from our operating subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, including providing the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders.

There are no laws or regulations that restrict us from providing funding to or receiving dividends from our Hong Kong or Netherlands subsidiaries; however, the transfer of funds to or from our PRC subsidiary, CCSC Interconnect DG, is subject to PRC laws and regulations. Cash transfers from our CCSC Cayman to our PRC subsidiary are subject to applicable PRC laws and regulations on loans and direct investment. In addition, current PRC laws and regulations permit our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to its shareholder only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. For details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China To the extent cash or assets of our business, or of our PRC or Hong Kong subsidiaries, is in mainland China or Hong Kong, such cash or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC or Hong Kong, due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations by the PRC government to the transfer of cash or assets.” If needed, our Cayman Islands holding company can transfer cash to our PRC subsidiary through loans and/or capital contributions, and our PRC subsidiary can transfer cash to our Cayman Islands holding company through issuing dividends or other distributions.

Our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or over-the-counter in the United States under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) and related regulations, if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditors for two consecutive years. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it was unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of the PRC, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions (the “Determinations”). On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol Agreement (the “SOP”) with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) and China’s Ministry of Finance (the “MOF”). 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 determined that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and vacated 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 may 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 the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCAA by reducing the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two. Our former auditor, Friedman LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that issued the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus, was a PCAOB-registered public accounting firm headquartered in New York during the time it served as our independent auditor. Effective on September 1, 2022, Friedman LLP combined with Marcum LLP. The services previously provided by Friedman LLP are now being provided by Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“MarcumAsia”), which is a PCAOB registered public accounting firm headquartered in New York. Our current and former auditors are both subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess an auditor’s compliance with the applicable professional standards, and have been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. As such, as of the date of this prospectus, our offering is not affected by the HFCAA and related regulations. However, there is a risk that our auditor cannot be inspected by the PCAOB in the future. The lack of inspection could cause trading in our securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA and related regulations, and, as a result, Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities, which may cause the value of our securities to decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — The HFCAA and the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act 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 and listing on Nasdaq, and Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information and financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to this summary, we urge you to read the entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks of investing in our Ordinary Shares, discussed under “Risk Factors,” before deciding whether to buy our Ordinary Shares. This prospectus contains certain estimates and information from an industry report (“Frost & Sullivan Report”) commissioned by us and prepared by Frost & Sullivan Inc. (“Frost & Sullivan”), an independent market research firm, regarding our industries and our market positions. The information in such sources may not be consistent with other information compiled in or outside of China.

Overview

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, we conduct our operations through our operating subsidiaries established in Hong Kong, mainland China, and the Netherlands, primarily in the sale, design and manufacturing of interconnect products, including connectors, cables and wire harnesses. As of the date of this prospectus, we have a diversified global customer base located in more than 25 countries throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas.

Interconnect products are essential components that form physical or logical connections between two electronic devices or networks. We specialize in customized interconnect products, including connectors, cables and wire harnesses that are used for a range of applications in a diversified set of industries, including industrial, automotive, robotics, medical equipment, computer, network and telecommunication, and consumer products.

We produce both OEM (“original equipment manufacturer”) and ODM (“original design manufacture”) interconnect products for manufacturing companies that produce end products, as well as electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) companies, who procure and assemble products on behalf of such manufacturing companies. OEM products refer to products we manufacture based on design and specifications provided by customers, while ODM products refer to those products that we design, develop and manufacture based on the specifications provided by customers. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, almost all, or more than 99%, of our sales were attributed to manufacturing companies and EMS, while the remaining sales were attributed to dealers who resell interconnect products. Many of our customers are global name-brand manufacturers, such as Linak, Danfoss, Bitzer, Maersk, Universal Robots, Philips, Osram, Flextronics, Harman and Vtech, with whom we have established long-term working relationships.

We work closely with our customers in developing products and providing solutions that meet their specific requirements for the end applications, and believe that our focus on customers’ needs has contributed to our steady growth in the last two decades. We strive to achieve high customer satisfaction by (1) providing value-added services such as our “design for manufacturing” (“DFM”) analysis, through which we routinely analyze product design and specifications based on end application requirements to ensure final products achieve optimal results for customers, and (2) providing prompt and effective responses to customer inquiries and requests by utilizing our in-house management information system, which management information system is designed to store, track and analyze data collected from various operational units, including sales, procurement, production, quality control, and engineering. Additionally, in order to better service our growing customer base in Europe, in 2016, we established our Netherlands subsidiary, CCSC Interconnect NL, which has since served as our Europe logistics and service hub.

We seek to deliver quality products at competitive prices through a vertically integrated production process. CCSC Interconnect DG, our PRC subsidiary, is our manufacturing and product development hub. CCSC Interconnect DG leases a facility in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, where more than 250 employees carry out design and development, engineering, manufacturing and assembly, and quality control of our products. While we strive to achieve efficiency and low costs by standardizing and optimizing certain processes across the production cycle, we understand the importance of maintaining the quality of our products. Our team of more than 20 quality assurance specialists strictly enforce our quality control protocols at every step of the production process.

Our product research and development capabilities has been a cornerstone of our success. Our engineering team that is responsible for product research and development currently has 37 employees, many of whom are experienced mechanical and electrical engineers. We own the rights to 68 patents registered with the intellectual property agency of mainland China and CCSC Interconnect DG has been certified as a High and New-Technology Enterprise (HNTE) (the “HNTE”) since 2016. In July 2023, CCSC Interconnect DG was selected by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of China as a “Specialized Refinement Differential Innovation Little Giant Enterprise”, a

1

Table of Contents

recognition given to small and medium-sized enterprises that specialize in niche sectors and boast strong innovative capability. We intend to continually invest in our engineering team and further enhance our research and development capabilities.

We are led by a management team with extensive experience in research and development, manufacturing and commercialization of interconnect products. We believe our management team is well positioned to lead us through the development and commercialization of new products, while maintaining and improving the market position of our existing products. Our revenue was $24,059,556 and $27,169,935, and our net income was $2,208,152 and $2,289,158 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the same periods, our revenue generated from cables and wire harnesses sales was $22,212,627 and $24,485,584, which accounted for 92.3% and 90.1% of our total revenue, respectively; our revenue generated from connectors sales was $1,846,929 and $2,684,351, which accounted for 7.7% and 9.9% of our total revenue, respectively. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, $4,853,506, or 20.2%, of our revenue was generated from sales in China, while $19,206,050, or 79.8%, of our revenue was from the sales in the rest of the world. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, $6,656,803, or 24.5%, of our revenue was generated from sales in China, while $20,513,132, or 75.5%, of our revenue was from the sales in the rest of the world.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following strengths enable us to capture business opportunities and differentiate us from our competitors:

        established long-term relationships with customers and key suppliers;

        high standard and commitment to quality control;

        strong focus on customers’ needs and value-added services;

        vertically integrated production; and

        experienced management team and dedicated workforce.

Our Growth Strategies

We plan to pursue the following strategies to further grow and expand our business:

        upgrade facility and management system to enhance operational efficiency and increase production capacity;

        expand new customer base and increase product offering to existing customers;

        accelerate our sales and marketing efforts;

        continue to invest in research and development and cultivate engineering talents; and

        pursue expansion through strategic acquisitions and collaboration.

Approvals from the PRC Authorities to Issue Our Ordinary Shares to Foreign Investors

Recently, the Chinese government promulgated a series of statements and actions to regulate business operations in China with limited advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts with respect to anti-monopoly enforcement. For example, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the “Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law,” or the “Opinions”, which were made available to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Moreover, the Cyberspace Administration of China, or the “CAC”, promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measure that became effective on February 15, 2022, which extends the scope of cybersecurity review to data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, including listing in a foreign country, and require a mandatory clearance of cybersecurity review to be completed by network platform operators that possess personal

information of more than 1 million users. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — Recent greater oversight by the CAC over cybersecurity and data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange, could adversely impact our business and our proposed offering.”

On August 8, 2006, six PRC governmental and regulatory agencies, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, promulgated the Rules on Acquisition of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, that became effective on September 8, 2006, and was amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules, among other things, require that offshore special purpose vehicles, or “SPVs”, that are controlled by mainland China companies or individuals and that have been formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of mainland China domestic interests held by such companies or individuals, shall obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and other compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.”

In addition, on February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the “Trial Measures” and five (5) supporting guidelines, which became effective on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, a PRC domestic company that seeks to offer or list securities overseas, by both direct and indirect means, shall submit the filing materials with the CSRC as required by the Trial Measures within three (3) business days following its submission of an application for its initial public offering or listing to overseas securities authorities. If the PRC domestic company fails to complete the required filing procedures, conceals any material fact, or falsifies any major content in its filing documents, such PRC domestic company may be subject to administrative penalties, such as an order to rectify, warnings, fines, and its controlling shareholders, actual controllers, the person directly in charge and other directly liable persons may also be subject to administrative penalties, such as warnings and fines. According to the CSRC Notice, beginning on March 31, 2023, PRC domestic companies that had submitted valid applications for overseas offering and listing but did not obtain the approval from overseas regulatory authorities or overseas stock exchanges, such as the Company, shall complete the required filing procedures with the CSRC prior to the completion of their overseas offerings and listing. According to the Trial Measures, the CSCR shall conclude the filing within 20 business days upon the receipt of the required filing materials, provided the filing materials are complete and in compliance with the Trial Measures. In compliance with the Trial Measures, we submitted our filing materials to the CSRC on August 31, 2023. Upon examination of our filing materials, the CSRC informed us in writing on November 6, 2023 that we do not fall within the scope of the filing requirements and are thus not required to complete the filing procedures under the Trial Measures at this time. However, we cannot assure you that we will not become subject to the filing requirements in the future, if the CSRC issues any further guidelines that otherwise subjects us to them. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — The New Overseas Listing Rules and other relevant rules promulgated by the CSRC may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future.”

Based on the opinion of our PRC counsel, Jincheng Tongda & Neal Law Firm (“JT&N”), we are not required by any currently effective PRC laws or regulations to obtain approval, permission, or clearance from any other PRC authorities to issue our securities to foreign investors, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction, or any regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC, the CAC, or any other PRC authorities that have jurisdiction over our operations. Further, JT&N has advised us that, based on their understanding of the current PRC laws and regulations, as of the date of this prospectus, we and/or our PRC subsidiary (i) are not subject to the cybersecurity review by the CAC, as stipulated in the Cybersecurity Review Measure, since we are not deemed to be a critical information infrastructure operator or network platform operator possessing personal information of more than 1 million users; (ii) are not subject to the CSRC approval in the context of this offering as required under M&A Rules, as we formed our PRC subsidiary, CCSC Interconnect DG, by way of equity investment rather than by a merger with or acquisition of a PRC company.

Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our business operation, our ability to accept foreign investments or list on a U.S. exchange. There is a possibility that we could have inadvertently concluded that we are not subject to such review or approval. Given the current PRC regulatory environment, we cannot assure you that we or our PRC subsidiary would be able to obtain clearance from the CAC if we are deemed to be subject to cybersecurity review in the future. Further, while the CSRC has determined that we do not fall within the scope of the filing requirements under the Trial Measures at this time, we cannot assure you that we will not become subject to the filing requirements in the future, if the CSRC issues any further guidelines that otherwise subjects us to them. If we are unable to complete the filings with the CSRC or obtain its approval in the future, should

it be required at a later date, or if we inadvertently conclude that such approval or clearance is not required, our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares to investors could be significantly limited or completely hindered, and the value of our Ordinary Shares may depreciate significantly or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks relating to doing business in China.”

Approvals from the PRC Authorities to Conduct Our Operations

As of the date of this prospectus, we and our PRC subsidiary have received from the PRC authorities all requisite licenses, permissions, or approvals that are required for conducting our operations in China, such as business licenses, import and export permits and value added tax permits for general taxpayers. However, it is uncertain whether we or our PRC subsidiary will be required to obtain additional approvals, licenses, or permits in connection with our business operations pursuant to evolving PRC laws and regulations, and whether we would be able to obtain and renew such approvals on a timely basis or at all. If (i) we do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, (ii) we inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or (iii) applicable PRC laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, we may be subject to fines or other penalties, including suspension of business and revocation of prerequisite licenses, which could result in a material change in our operations, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, and the value of our Ordinary Shares could depreciate significantly or become worthless. For more details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business and may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which actions may result in a material change in our operations and impact our operations materially and adversely, and significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless.”

Dividends and Distributions

Under the Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend on its shares out of either profits, if any, or share premium amounts, provided that under no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts due in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this prospectus, (1) no cash transfer or transfer of other assets have occurred among the Company and its subsidiaries, (2) no dividends or distributions have been made by a subsidiary to the Company, and (3) the Company has not made any dividends or distributions to U.S. investors. We intend to keep any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future, or any funds will be transferred from one entity to another. As such, we have not installed any cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred among the Company, its subsidiaries, or investors. Under our current corporate structure, we rely on dividend payments from our operating subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, including providing the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders or to service any debt we may incur. There are no laws or regulations that restrict us from providing funding to or receiving dividends from our Hong Kong or Netherlands subsidiaries; however, the transfer of funds to or from our PRC subsidiary is subject to PRC laws and regulations.

We are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to provide funding to our PRC subsidiary only through loans or capital contributions, and only if we satisfy the applicable government registration and approval requirements. For more details, see “Risk Factors — Risks relating to doing business in China — PRC laws and regulations of parent/subsidiary loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.” Our PRC subsidiary is permitted to pay dividends only out of its retained earnings and is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, after making up for previous year’s accumulated losses, if any, to fund certain statutory reserves, until the aggregate amount of such funds reaches 50% of its registered capital. Our PRC subsidiary is also required to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund an employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at its discretion. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If our PRC subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. Furthermore, dividends paid by our PRC subsidiary to its parent company will be subject to a 10% withholding tax, which can be reduced to 5% if certain requirements are met. For more details, see “Risk Factors — Risks relating to doing business in China — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.

In addition, the PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of mainland China. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign currency demands, we may not be able to transfer cash out of mainland China and pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders. There can be no assurance that the PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on our ability to transfer or distribute cash within our organization or to foreign investors, which could result in an inability or prohibition on making transfers or distributions outside of mainland China and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For more details, see “Risk Factors — Risks relating to doing business in China — Governmental Controls and Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively”, and “Risk Factors — Risks relating to doing business in China — To the extent cash or assets of our business, or of our PRC or Hong Kong subsidiaries, is in mainland China or Hong Kong, such cash or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of mainland China or Hong Kong, due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations by the PRC government to the transfer of cash or assets.”

PCAOB’s Determinations on Public Accounting Firms Headquartered in Mainland China and in Hong Kong

Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted under the HFCAA and related regulations, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors for two consecutive years. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it was unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of the PRC, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions (the “Determinations”). On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed the SOP Agreements with the CSRC and the MOF governing inspections and investigations, to 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 determined that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and vacated its previous determinations to the contrary. Our former auditor, Friedman LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that issued the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus, was a PCAOB-registered public accounting firm headquartered in New York during the time it served as our independent auditor. Effective on September 1, 2022, Friedman LLP combined with Marcum LLP. The services previously provided by Friedman LLP now are provided by Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“MarcumAsia”), which is a PCAOB registered public accounting firm headquartered in New York. Our current and former auditors are both subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess an auditor’s compliance with the applicable professional standards, and have been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. As such, as of the date of this prospectus, our offering is not affected by the HFCAA and related regulations. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB may consider the need to issue a new determination. However, there is a risk that our auditor cannot be inspected by the PCAOB in the future, and if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditors for two consecutive years, our securities will be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or over-the-counter trading market, and, as a result, Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities, which may cause the value of our securities to decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — The HFCAA and the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act 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 and listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.

Summary of Risk Factors

An investment in our Ordinary Shares is subject to a number of risks, including risks relating to our business and industry, risks relating to doing business in China, and risk relating to our Ordinary Shares in this offering. You should carefully consider all the information in this prospectus before making an investment in the Ordinary Shares. The following list summarizes some, but not all, of these risks. Please read the information in the section entitled “Risk Factors” starting on page 13 for a more thorough description of these and other risks.

Table of Contents

Risks Relating to Doing Business in China

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

        There are uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and rules and regulations in China, which can change quickly with little advance notice, and there is a risk that the Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas, which could materially and adversely affect our business and hinder our ability to offer our securities or continue our operations, and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

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

        The approval of the CSRC and other compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.

        The Opinions recently issued by the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council and the New Overseas Listing Rules promulgated by the CSRC may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future.

        The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business and may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which actions may result in a material change in our operations and impact our operations materially and adversely, and significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless.

        You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments, or bringing actions in mainland China against us or our management named in the prospectus based on foreign laws. It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within mainland China.

        The HFCAA and the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act 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 and listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.

        We may face disruption to our technology systems, if our technology systems or the proprietary information and/or data collected and stored by our PRC subsidiary via such systems, particularly billing and client information, were to be accessed or tampered with by unauthorized persons, and, in any such case, our reputation and relationships with our customers could be harmed and our business could be materially and adversely affected.

        Increases in labor costs in the PRC may adversely affect our business and our profitability.

        Our PRC subsidiary has not made adequate social insurance and housing fund contributions for all employees as required by PRC regulations, which may subject us to penalties in the PRC.

        PRC laws and regulations relating to offshore investment activities by mainland China residents may subject our mainland China resident beneficial owners or our PRC subsidiary to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary’s ability to increase its registered capital or distribute profits to us.

        We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.

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

Table of Contents

        Fluctuations in exchange rates between the RMB and other currencies could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

        Governmental Control and Restriction on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.

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

        There are uncertainties under the PRC Securities Law relating to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of mainland China.

        Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT Law”), we may be classified as a mainland China “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our shareholders who are not mainland China residents and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

        We face uncertainty with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in mainland China resident enterprises by their holding companies that are not mainland China resident companies.

        There are significant uncertainties under the EIT Law relating to the withholding tax liabilities of CCSC Interconnect DG, and dividends payable by CCSC Interconnect DG to our offshore subsidiaries may not qualify to enjoy certain treaty benefits.

        The M&A Rules and certain other PRC laws and regulations establish complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in mainland China.

        If we become directly subject to the scrutiny, criticism, and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business operations, stock price, and reputation.

        The disclosures in our reports and other filings with the SEC and our other public pronouncements may be subject to the scrutiny of any regulatory bodies in the PRC.

Risks Relating to Our Business

        We operate in a highly competitive industry, and the scale and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, which could result in a loss of our market share and a decrease in our net revenues and profitability.

        A disruption, termination or alteration of the supply of materials or components due to natural disasters, political and economic turmoil, or widespread disease or pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) could materially and adversely affect the sales of our products.

        If we fail to acquire new customers or retain existing customers, especially our large customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

        Increases in the price of raw materials could impact our ability to sustain and grow earnings.

        We have limited sources of working capital and may need substantial additional financing.

        The Company is dependent on the end markets, including industrial, automotive, robotics, medical equipment, computer, network and telecommunication, and consumer products, for the demand of its interconnect products, and is susceptible to negative trends relating to those industries that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

        The Company’s international operations subject the Company to additional business risks that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Table of Contents

        The Company’s business will suffer if the Company fails to develop and successfully introduce new and enhanced products that meet the changing needs of the Company’s customers.

Risks Relating to Our Ordinary Shares and This Offering

        If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls or fail to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that have been identified, we may fail to meet our reporting obligations or be unable to accurately report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected.

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

        As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to certain U.S. securities law disclosure requirements that apply to a domestic U.S. issuer and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, which may limit the information publicly available to our investors and afford them less protection than if we were an U.S. issuer.

        We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

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 (2) years of audited financial statements and only two (2) 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 (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.

Table of Contents

Foreign Private Issuer Status

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Implications of Being a Controlled Company

Upon completion of this offering, our director and chairman of the Board, Dr. Chi Sing Chiu, will beneficially own approximately [ ]% of the aggregate voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option, or [ ]% assuming full exercise of the over-allotment option. As a result, we will be deemed to be a “controlled company” for the purpose of the Nasdaq listing rules. As a controlled company, we are permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from the obligations to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:

        the requirement that our director nominees be selected or recommended solely by independent directors; and

        the requirement that we have a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee that are composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the purposes and responsibilities of the committees.

Although we do not intend to rely on the controlled company exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules, we could elect to rely on these exemptions in the future, and if so, you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

RISK FACTORS

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

Risks Relating to Doing Business in China

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

A substantial amount of our assets are located in China and we conduct the manufacturing of interconnect products through our PRC subsidiary, CCSC Interconnect DG. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and 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 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, including 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 by allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

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

Furthermore, we and our Chinese subsidiary, as well as our investors, face uncertainty about future actions by the Chinese government that could significantly affect our financial performance and operations. Failure to take timely and appropriate measures to adapt to any of these or similar regulatory compliance challenges could materially and adversely affect our current corporate structure and business operations.

As of the date of this prospectus, as the CSRC notified us in writing that we do not fall within the scope of the filing requirements under the Trial Measures, we believe that we are not required to obtain permission or approvals from the competent Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges at this time. However, there is a risk that we could be inadvertently concluded that we are not subject to any permission or approval, and if we are required to obtain such permission or approval, we cannot be certain that we will be able to receive such permission or approval in a timely manner, or at all, for us to list on U.S. exchanges, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of our shares to significantly decline or be worthless.

There are uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and rules and regulations in mainland China, which can change quickly with little advance notice, and there is a risk that the Chinese government may exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas, which could materially and adversely affect our business and hinder our ability to offer our securities or continue our operations, and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

The legal system of mainland China is based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which legal cases have limited value as precedents. There are uncertainties regarding the enforcement of PRC laws and regulations which can change quickly with little advance notice. Any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas could materially and adversely affect our business and hinder our ability to offer or continue our operations and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. For example, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator announced on July 2, 2021 that it had begun an investigation of Didi Global Inc. (NYSE: DIDI) and two days later ordered that company’s app be removed from smartphone app stores. In December 2021, DIDI announced that it would delist from the New York Stock Exchange less than six months after its initial public offering.

On July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued an announcement to crack down on illegal activities in the securities market and promote the high-quality development of the capital market, which, among other things, requires the relevant governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law-enforcement and judicial cooperation, to enhance supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system of extraterritorial application of the PRC securities laws. Since this announcement is relatively new, uncertainties still exist in relation to how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on companies like us and our Ordinary Shares.

From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. Since mainland China administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, however, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy in mainland China legal system than in more developed legal systems. Furthermore, the legal system of mainland China is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published in a timely manner or at all) that may have retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. Such uncertainties, including uncertainties over the scope and effect of our contractual, property (including intellectual property) and procedural rights, and any failure to respond to changes in the regulatory environment in China could materially and adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations, and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

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

On December 28, 2021, the CAC, together with 12 other governmental departments of the PRC, jointly promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which became effective on February 15, 2022. The Cybersecurity Review Measures provides that, in addition to critical information infrastructure operators (“CIIOs”) that intend to purchase Internet products and services, network 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. The Cybersecurity Review Measures further requires that network platform operators that possess personal information of more than one million users must apply for a mandatory cybersecurity review before conducting listings in foreign countries.

On November 14, 2021, the CAC published the Network Data Security Administration Draft, or the “Security Administration Draft”, which provides that data processing operators engaging in data processing activities that affect or may affect national security or that processing personal information of more than one million users must be subject to network data security review by the relevant Cyberspace Administration of the PRC. The deadline for public comments on the Security Administration Draft was December 13, 2021.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notice from any PRC authorities identifying our PRC subsidiary as a CIIO or requiring us to go through cybersecurity review or network data security review by the CAC. We believe our PRC operations will not be subject to cybersecurity review or network data security review by the CAC for

14

Table of Contents

this offering, because we believe our PRC subsidiary is not a CIIO or a network platform operator possessing personal information of more than 1 million users, and our business does not involve data processing activities that affect or may affect national security. As of the date of this prospectus, we are of the view that we are in compliance with the applicable PRC cybersecurity and data security laws and regulations that have been issued by the CAC in all material respects, and we have not received any complaints from any third party, nor been investigated or punished by any competent PRC authority in this regard. There remains uncertainty, however, as to how the relevant PRC cybersecurity and data security laws and regulations 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 cybersecurity. If any such new laws, regulations, rules, or implementation and interpretation come into effect, we expect to take all reasonable measures and actions to comply and to minimize the adverse effect of such laws on us. We cannot guarantee, however, that we will not be subject to cybersecurity review or network data security review in the future.

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

The M&A Rules require overseas special purpose vehicles that are controlled by mainland China companies or individuals formed for the purpose of seeking a public listing on an overseas stock exchange through acquisitions of mainland China domestic companies using shares of such special purpose vehicle or held by its shareholders as consideration to obtain the approval of the CSRC, prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicles’ securities on an overseas stock exchange. However, the application of the M&A Rules remains unclear. If CSRC approval is required, it is uncertain whether it would be possible for us to obtain such approval. Any failure to obtain or delay in obtaining CSRC approval for this offering would subject us to sanctions imposed by the CSRC and other PRC regulatory agencies.

Our PRC legal counsel, JT&N, has advised us based on their understanding of the current PRC laws and regulations that the CSRC’s approval is not required for the listing and trading of our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq in the context of this offering under the M&A Rules, given that: (i) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings like ours in this prospectus are subject to the M&A Rules, (ii) we establish our wholly-foreign owned enterprise (“WFOE”), CCSC Interconnect DG, by means of direct investment rather than through merger and acquisition of a “mainland China domestic company” as defined under the M&A Rules.

However, our PRC legal counsel, JT&N, has further advised us that there remains some uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented in the context of an overseas offering and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, regulations and rules or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC regulatory agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as our PRC legal counsel does. If it is determined that CSRC approval is required for this offering, we may face sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies for failure to obtain or delay in obtaining CSRC approval for this offering. These sanctions may include fines and penalties on our operations in China, limitations on our operating privileges in China, delays in or restrictions on the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC, restrictions on or prohibition of the payments or remittance of dividends by our subsidiary in China, or other actions that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, prospects, as well as the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before the settlement and delivery of the Ordinary Shares that we are offering. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to the settlement and delivery of the Ordinary Shares we are offering, you would be doing so at the risk that such settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements or to obtain such approval in timely manner, or at all.

The New Overseas Listing Rules and other relevant rules promulgated by the CSRC may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Measures and five (5) supporting guidelines, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, a PRC domestic company that seeks to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, shall submit the filing materials with the CSRC as required by the Trial Measures within three (3) business days following its submission of an application to overseas securities regulatory authorities

15

Table of Contents

for its initial public offering or listing. If the PRC domestic company fails to complete required filing procedures or conceals any material fact or falsifies any major content in its filing documents, such PRC domestic company may be subject to administrative penalties, such as an order to rectify, warnings, fines, and its controlling shareholders, actual controllers, the person directly in charge and other directly liable persons may also be subject to administrative penalties, such as warnings and fines.

Further, according to the Notice on the Administrative Arrangements for the Filing of the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies issued by the CSRC on February 17, 2023, or the CSRC Notice, beginning on March 31, 2023, PRC domestic companies that had submitted valid applications for overseas offering and listing but did not obtain the approval from overseas regulatory authorities or overseas stock exchanges shall complete the required filing procedures with the CSRC prior to the completion of their overseas offerings and listing. In compliance with the Trial Measures, we submitted our filing materials to the CSRC on August 31, 2023, and was informed by the CSRC in writing on November 6, 2023 that we do not fall within the scope of the filing requirements at this time. However, we cannot assure you that we will not become subject to the filing requirements in the future, if the CSRC issues any further guidelines that otherwise subjects us to them.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with the Ministry of Finance, the National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China, revised the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration for Overseas Securities Offering and Listing, which were issued by the CSRC and National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China in 2009, or the Provisions. The revised Provisions were issued under the title the “Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies,” and came into effect on March 31, 2023, together with the Trial Measures. One of the major revisions to the revised Provisions is expanding their application to cover indirect overseas offering and listing, as is consistent with the Trial Measures. The revised Provisions require that, among other things, (a) a PRC domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals or entities, including securities companies, securities service providers, and overseas regulators, any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, shall first obtain approval from competent authorities according to the PRC law and regulations, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level; and (b) a PRC domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals and entities, including securities companies, securities service providers, and overseas regulators, any other documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable national regulations. Any failure or perceived failure by our Company and our PRC subsidiary to comply with the above confidentiality and archives administration requirements under the revised Provisions and other PRC laws and regulations may result in the relevant entities being held legally liable by competent authorities, and referred to the judicial organ to be investigated for criminal liability if suspected of committing a crime.

Any new laws and regulations issued by the PRC authorities may subject us to additional compliance requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with all the new regulatory requirements, or any future implementing rules on a timely basis, or at all. Any failure by us to fully comply with the new regulatory requirements, including but not limited to the failure to complete the filing procedures with the CSRC if required, may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business and may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which actions may result in a material change in our operations and impact our operations materially and adversely, and significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or 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. Our ability to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to manufacturing, taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our

16

Table of Contents

part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.

Our business is subject to various government and regulatory interference. We could be subject to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. The Company may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. Our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to our business or industry, which could result in further material changes in our operations and could adversely impact the value of our Ordinary Shares.

Furthermore, recent statements by the Chinese government indicate an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas. Although we believe that we are currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC central or local government and we have not received any denial to list on any U.S. exchange, it is uncertain whether or when we might be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future. Even if such permission is obtained, it remains uncertain whether it may be later denied or rescinded, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors and may cause the value of our shares to significantly decline or be worthless. If (i) we do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, (ii) we inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or (iii) applicable PRC laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, we may be subject to fines or other penalties, including suspension of business and revocation of prerequisite licenses, which could result in a material change in our operations, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, and the value of our Ordinary Shares could depreciate significantly or become worthless.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments, or bringing actions in mainland China against us or our management named in the prospectus based on foreign laws. It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within mainland China.

As a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we conduct a majority of our operations in China and a majority of our assets are located in China. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon those persons inside mainland China. It may be difficult for you to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on 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 U.S. or has substantial assets in the U.S. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or the mainland China 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 U.S. or any state.

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. The competent PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between mainland China and the country or region where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. Mainland 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 competent 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 and regulations 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. See “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.”

It may also be difficult for you or overseas regulators to conduct investigations or collect evidence within mainland China. For example, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information, documents, and materials needed for regulatory investigations or litigation outside mainland China. Although the authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with its counterparts of another country or region to monitor and oversee cross border securities activities, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of 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

17

Table of Contents

of mainland China. Article 177 further provides that Chinese entities and individuals are not allowed to provide documents or materials related to securities business activities to foreign agencies without prior consent from the securities regulatory authority of the PRC State Council and the competent departments of the PRC State Council. While detailed interpretation of or implementing rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within mainland China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests. See “ — There are uncertainties under the PRC Securities Law relating to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of mainland China.”

The HFCAA and the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act 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 and listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.

On April 21, 2020, former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and former 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 December 18, 2020, the “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” was signed by President Donald Trump and became law. This legislation requires certain issuers of securities to establish that they are not owned or controlled by a foreign government. Specifically, an issuer must make this certification if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the issuer has retained a foreign public accounting firm not subject to inspection by the PCAOB. Furthermore, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect the issuer’s public accounting firm for three (3) consecutive years beginning in 2021, the issuer’s securities are banned from trade on a national exchange or through other methods.

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the “Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act”, which, if passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law by the President, would decrease the number of non-inspection years for foreign companies to comply with PCAOB audits from three (3) to two (2) years, thus, reducing the period before their securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate our auditor completely.

On November 5, 2021, the SEC approved the PCAOB’s Rule 6100, Board Determinations Under the “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act”. Rule 6100 provides a framework for the PCAOB to use to determine whether it is unable to inspect or investigate registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction.

On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA. The rules apply to registrants the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of the PRC, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. The PCAOB made the Determinations pursuant to PCAOB Rule 6100, which provides a framework for how the PCAOB fulfills its responsibilities under the HFCAA.

On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed the SOP Agreements with the CSRC and the MOF governing inspections and investigations, to 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.

Table of Contents

On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and vacated 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 may consider the need to issue a new determination.

On December 29, 2022, provisions of the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act were signed into law as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, amending the HFCAA by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three.

Any lack of access to the PCAOB inspection in China prevents the PCAOB from fully evaluating audits and quality control procedures of the auditors based in China. As a result, the investors may be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to conduct inspections of auditors in China makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of these accounting firms’ audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors outside of China that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause existing and potential investors to lose confidence in audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of financial statements of China-based companies.

Our former auditor, Friedman LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that issued the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus, was headquartered in the City of New York and registered with the PCAOB during the time it served as our independent auditor. Effective on September 1, 2022, Friedman LLP combined with Marcum LLP. The services previously provided by Friedman LLP will now be provided by Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“MarcumAsia”), which is a PCAOB registered public accounting firm headquartered in New York. Our current and former auditors are both subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess an auditor’s compliance with the applicable professional standards, and have been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. As such, as of the date of this prospectus, our offering is not affected by the HFCAA and related regulations. However, the recent developments would add uncertainties to our offering and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as related to the audit of our financial statements. Furthermore, there is a risk that our auditor cannot be inspected by the PCAOB in the future. The lack of inspection could cause trading in our securities to be prohibited on a national exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market under the HFCAA and related regulations, and, as a result, Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities, which may cause the value of our securities to decline or become worthless.

We may face disruption to our technology systems, if our technology systems or the proprietary information and/or data collected and stored by our PRC subsidiary via such systems, particularly billing and client information, were to be accessed or tampered with by unauthorized persons, and, in any such case, our reputation and relationships with our customers could be harmed and our business could be materially and adversely affected.

The satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our technology systems are critical to our business. We rely on our technology systems as well as the people who operate them to securely collect and store confidential and personal data regarding our customers, suppliers and employees during our day-to-day business operation and staff access to such confidential and personal data is only made available on a need-to-know basis, including access to names and billing data. However, these systems may fail to operate properly or become disabled as a result of tampering or a breach of our network security systems or otherwise, and, for reasons beyond our control, we may also experience telecommunications failures, computer viruses, failures during the process of upgrading or replacing software, databases or components, power outages, hardware failures, user errors, unauthorized intrusions or inadvertent data breaches, or other attempts to harm our technology systems, which could result in exposure or destruction of the proprietary information and/or data stored in our technology systems.

We have established risk management and internal control systems, consisting of policies and procedures that we believe are appropriate for using and managing our technology systems and the proprietary information and/or data stored in such systems properly and securely, including (i) establishing procedures to evaluate our backup systems timely as well as to review the security level of our current systems and consider upgrading our security and software testing if needed, and (ii) the establishment of a fire wall to prevent external cyber risks, and providing cyber security training to our employees. Our board of directors are responsible for the overall management and implementation of such policies and procedures, which will be updated every year under the monitoring of our board of directors, and shall be approved by our board of directors and certified by a third party, to make sure such policies

19

and procedures satisfy the requirements of IATF 16949 and ISO 9001. Although, as of the date of this prospectus, we have not had any cyber-attacks, breaches of our network security systems on which we rely could involve attacks that are intended to (i) obtain unauthorized access to and disclose sensitive and confidential client information and\or our proprietary information, or (ii) destroy data or disable, degrade, or sabotage our systems, often through the introduction of computer viruses and other means. Such breaches or attacks could originate from a wide variety of sources, including state actors or other unknown third parties. Since techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to systems or sabotage systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against us, we may not be able to anticipate these attacks or implement adequate preventative measures promptly and effectively. In addition, any party who is able to illegally obtain identification and password credentials could potentially gain unauthorized access to our technology systems, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to anticipate, detect, or implement effective preventative measures against frequently changing cyber-attacks. In addition to the implementation and maintenance of data security measures, we require our employees to maintain the confidentiality of the proprietary information that we hold. However, from time to time, employees make mistakes with respect to security policies that are not always immediately detected by compliance policies and procedures. Such mistakes can include errors in software implementation or a failure to follow protocols and patch systems. Employee errors, even if promptly discovered and remediated, may result in unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, and our systems may be otherwise compromised, malfunction or disabled; therefore, in such events, we could suffer a disruption of our business, financial losses, liability to clients, regulatory sanctions, and damage to our reputation.

If a cybersecurity incident occurs, or is perceived to occur, we may have to spend significant capital and other resources to mitigate the impact of the event and to develop and implement protection to prevent future events of such nature from occurring. Furthermore, we may also be subject to negative publicity and the public perception of the ineffectiveness of our security measures, and our reputation may be harmed, in the event of any of the foregoing cybersecurity breaches or attacks, which could damage our relationships with, and result in the loss of existing or potential, customers, and our business and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Increases in labor costs in the PRC may adversely affect our business and our profitability.

China’s economy has experienced increases in labor costs in recent years. China’s overall economy and the average wage in China are expected to continue to grow. The average wage level for our employees has also increased in recent years. We expect that our labor costs, including wages and employee benefits, will continue to increase. To counter the rising labor costs and improve our operational efficiency, we reduced the number of manufacturing employees from 235 in fiscal year 2022 to 166 in fiscal year 2023. We further reduced our manufacturing employees to 151 as of June 30, 2023. As a result, the labor costs for the two most recent fiscal years decreased, amounting to US$2.87 million and US$4.31 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing 17.7% and 21.9% of our total cost of revenue, respectively. Unless we are able to continue to improve our operational efficiency or pass on increased labor costs to our customers by increasing prices for our products or services, our profitability and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, we have been subject to stricter regulatory requirements in terms of entering into labor contracts with our employees and paying various statutory employee benefits, including pensions, housing fund, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance, and maternity insurance to designated government agencies for the benefit of our employees. Pursuant to the Labor Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China, or the “Labor Contract Law,” that became effective in January 2008 and its amendments that became effective in July 2013 and its implementing rules that became effective in September 2008, employers are subject to stricter requirements in terms of signing labor contracts, minimum wages, paying remuneration, determining the term of employees’ probation, and unilaterally terminating labor contracts. In the event that we decide to terminate some of our employees or otherwise change our employment or labor practices, the Labor Contract Law and its implementation rules may limit our ability to effect those changes in a desirable or cost-effective manner, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

As the interpretation and implementation of labor-related laws and regulations are still evolving, we cannot assure you that our employment practice does not and will not violate labor-related laws and regulations in China, which may subject us to labor disputes or government investigations. If we are deemed to have violated relevant labor laws and regulations, we could be required to provide additional compensation to our employees and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a material adverse impact on the general economic outlook, economic growth and business sentiment, and may in turn influence the labor costs. Such influence, if any, however, remains unclear as of the date of this prospectus.

Our PRC subsidiary has not made adequate social insurance and housing fund contributions for all employees as required by PRC regulations, which may subject us to penalties.

According to the PRC Social Insurance Law and the Administrative Regulations on the Housing Funds, companies operating in mainland China are required to participate in pension insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance (collectively known as “social insurance”), and housing funds plans, and the employers must pay all or a portion of the social insurance premiums and housing funds for their employees. For more details, please see “Regulations — Regulations Relating to Labor Protection. The requirement of social insurance and housing fund has not been implemented consistently by the local governments in China given the different levels of economic development in different locations.

Pursuant to the relevant laws, an enterprise is required, within a prescribed time limit, to register with the relevant social security authority and housing fund management center, and to open the relevant accounts and make timely contributions for their employees; failure to do so may subject the enterprise to order for rectification, and certain fines if the enterprise fails to rectify in time. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been paying the social insurance and housing funds for our employees in full. Any failure to make sufficient provision of the outstanding amounts of contributions to such funds is a violation of applicable PRC laws and regulations and we could be required to make up the contributions and be subject to late fees, fines, and associated administrative penalties. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had outstanding social insurance payments payable in the aggregate amount of approximately $165,772 and $140,042, respectively, and outstanding housing funds in the aggregate amount of approximately $133,229 and $179,235, respectively. In the event that the relevant authorities determine that we have underpaid, our PRC subsidiary may be required to pay outstanding contributions and penalties to the extent we did not make full contributions to the social security and housing provident funds. If we fail to pay the contributions in full and on time within the prescribed time limit as required, a late fee of 0.05% per day and a fine of one to three times the outstanding amount of social insurance may be imposed by the authority, and the relevant authorities could file applications to competent courts for compulsory enforcement of the underpaid payment of housing funds. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, an estimated late fee may be imposed for the outstanding social insurance payments payable in the aggregate amount of approximately $53,859 and $38,141, respectively. Moreover, our failure in making adequate contributions to social insurance and housing funds may also trigger private complaints filed by our employees against us.

As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notices from the competent PRC authorities requiring us to make up the underpayment of social insurance and housing funds for our employees, however, we cannot guarantee that the competent PRC authorities will not order us to do so in the future. We intend to pay the outstanding social insurance and housing fund payments upon receipt of notice from the competent PRC authorities. We may also be subject to fines and penalties if we fail to comply, which could adversely affect our businesses, result of operations and financial conditions.

PRC regulations relating to offshore investment activities by mainland China residents may subject our mainland China resident beneficial owners or our PRC subsidiary to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary’s ability to increase its registered capital or distribute profits to us.

On July 4, 2014, State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) issued the Circular on Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control over the Overseas Investment and Financing and Round-trip Investment by Domestic Residents via Special Purpose Vehicles, or “SAFE Circular 37.” According to SAFE Circular 37, prior registration with the local SAFE branch is required for mainland China residents, (including individuals and corporate entities, as well as foreign individuals that are deemed to be mainland China residents for foreign exchange administration purpose), in connection with their direct or indirect contribution of domestic assets or interests to offshore special purpose vehicles, or “SPVs.” SAFE Circular 37 further requires amendments to the SAFE registrations in the event of any changes with respect to the basic information of the offshore SPV, such as change of a mainland China individual shareholder, SPV name and operation term, or any significant changes with respect to the offshore SPV, such as an increase or decrease of capital contribution, share transfer or exchange, or mergers or divisions. SAFE Circular 37 is applicable to our shareholders who are mainland China residents and may be applicable to any offshore acquisitions that we make in the future. In February 2015, SAFE promulgated a Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment, or “SAFE Notice 13,” effective in June 2015. Under SAFE Notice 13, applications for foreign exchange registration of inbound foreign direct investments and

21

Table of Contents

outbound overseas direct investments, including those required under SAFE Circular 37, will be filed with qualified banks instead of SAFE. The qualified banks will directly examine the applications and accept registrations under the supervision of SAFE.

In addition to SAFE Circular 37 and SAFE Notice 13, our ability to conduct foreign exchange activities in mainland China may be subject to the interpretation and enforcement of the Administrative Measures for Individual Foreign Exchange and its implementing rule promulgated by the People’s Bank of China and SAFE in December 2006 and January 2007, respectively (as amended and supplemented, the “Individual Foreign Exchange Rules”). Under the Individual Foreign Exchange Rules, any mainland China individual seeking to make a direct investment overseas or engage in the issuance or trading of negotiable securities or derivatives overseas must make the appropriate registrations in accordance with SAFE provisions, the failure of which may subject such mainland China individual to warnings, fines, or other liabilities.

As of the date of this prospectus, none of our beneficial shareholders are mainland China residents and therefore are not subject to foreign exchange registration under SAFE Circular 37, SAFE Notice 13 and the Individual Foreign Exchange Rules. However, we may not be informed of the identities of all the mainland China residents holding direct or indirect interest in our company, and we have no control over any of our future beneficial owners. Thus, we cannot provide any assurance that our current or future mainland China resident beneficial owners will comply with our request to make or obtain any applicable registrations or continuously comply with all registration procedures set forth in these SAFE regulations. Such failure or inability of our mainland China residents beneficial owners to comply with these SAFE regulations may subject us or our mainland China resident beneficial owners to fines and legal sanctions, restrict our cross-border investment activities, or limit our PRC subsidiary’s ability to distribute dividends to or obtain foreign-exchange-dominated loans from us, or prevent us from being able to make distributions or pay dividends, as a result of which our business operations and our ability to distribute profits to you could be materially and adversely affected.

We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.

We are a Cayman Islands holding company and we rely principally on dividends and other distributions on equity from our PRC subsidiary for our cash requirements, including for services of any debt we may incur. Our PRC subsidiary’s ability to distribute dividends is based upon its distributable earnings. Current PRC laws and regulations permit our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to its shareholders only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiary 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. Our PRC subsidiary, as a foreign-invested enterprise, or “FIE”, 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 its discretion. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If our PRC subsidiary incur debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiary to distribute dividends or other payments to its respective shareholders 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.

In addition, the EIT Law and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax rate of up to 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to their enterprise shareholders who are not mainland China resident enterprises, unless otherwise exempted or reduced according to treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC resident enterprises are incorporated. See Dividend Policy.

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

Under PRC laws and regulations, we are permitted to utilize the proceeds from this offering to fund our PRC subsidiary by making loans or providing additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, subject to applicable government registration, statutory limitations on amount, and approval requirements.

Any loans made to CCSC Interconnect DG, which is treated as a foreign-invested enterprise under PRC law, are subject to PRC laws and regulations and foreign exchange loan registrations. For example, loans made by us to CCSC Interconnect DG to finance its activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the local counterpart of SAFE, or filed with SAFE in its information system. Pursuant to relevant PRC laws and regulations, we may provide loans to CCSC Interconnect DG up to the larger amount of (i) the balance between the registered total investment amount and registered capital of CCSC Interconnect DG, or (ii) the amount equal to two (2) times the net assets of CCSC Interconnect DG, calculated in accordance with the Circular on Full-Coverage Macro-Prudent Management of Cross-Border Financing (the “PBOC Circular 9”), the Circular on Adjusting the Macro-Prudent Adjustment Parameter for Full-Covered Cross-Border Financing (the “PBOC Circular 64”), and the Circular on Adjusting the Macro-Prudent Adjustment Parameter for Cross-Border Financing (the “PBOC Circular 5”). Moreover, any medium or long-term loan to be provided by us to CCSC Interconnect DG must also be filed and registered with the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”). We may also decide to finance CCSC Interconnect DG by means of capital contributions. These capital contributions must be recorded with the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (“MOFCOM”) or its local counterpart, and the local market regulatory authority.

On March 30, 2015, SAFE issued the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming the Administrative Approach Regarding the Settlement of the Foreign Exchange Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or “SAFE Circular 19,” which took effect on June 1, 2015. Pursuant to SAFE Circular 19, up to 100% of foreign currency capital of a foreign-invested enterprise may be converted into RMB capital according to the actual operation, and within the business scope, of the enterprise at its will. Although SAFE Circular 19 allows for the use of RMB converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital for equity investments in mainland China, the restrictions continue to apply as to foreign-invested enterprises’ use of the converted RMB for purposes beyond their business scope, for entrusted loans or for repayment of inter-company RMB loans. On June 9, 2016, SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Standardizing the Foreign Exchange Settlement Management Policy of Capital Account, or “SAFE Circular 16,” effective on June 9, 2016, which reiterates some rules set forth in SAFE Circular 19, but changes the prohibition against using RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested company to issue RMB entrusted loans or repay inter-company loans to a prohibition against using such capital to issue loans to non-affiliated enterprises. On October 23, 2019, SAFE issued the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Facilitating Cross-border Trade and Investment, which, among other things, expanded the use of foreign exchange capital to domestic equity investment area. Non-investment foreign-funded enterprises are allowed to lawfully make domestic equity investments without violation to prevailing special administrative measures for access of foreign investments (negative list) and the authenticity and compliance with the regulations of domestic investment projects. If our PRC subsidiary requires financial support from us in the future and we find it necessary to use foreign currency-denominated capital to provide such financial support, our ability to fund our PRC subsidiary’s operations will be subject to statutory limits and restrictions, including those described above.

In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC laws and regulations on loans to, and direct investment in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies, including SAFE Circular 19, SAFE Circular 16, and other relevant rules and regulations, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans to our PRC subsidiary or future capital contributions by us to our PRC subsidiary. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds we received or expect to receive from our offshore offerings and to capitalize or otherwise fund our PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our business, including our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

Fluctuations in exchange rates between the RMB and other currencies could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions in China and by China’s foreign exchange policies. On July 21, 2005, the competent PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the RMB to the U.S. dollar, and the RMB 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 the RMB and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, the RMB has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future.

A significant amount of our business is conducted in mainland China by CCSC Interconnect DG, the books and records of which are maintained in RMB. The financial statements that we file with the SEC and provide to our shareholders are presented in U.S. dollars. Changes in the exchange rates between the RMB and U.S. dollar affect the value of our assets and the results of our operations, when presented in U.S. dollars. The value of the RMB against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions and perceived changes in the economy of the PRC and the United States. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenue, and financial condition. Further, our Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus are offered in U.S. dollars, we will need to convert the net proceeds we receive into RMB in order to use the funds for our business. Changes in the conversion rate among the U.S. dollar and the RMB will affect the amount of proceeds we will have available for our business.

Very limited hedging options are available in China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into more hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to adequately hedge our exposure or at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control laws and regulations that restrict our ability to convert RMB into foreign currency. As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates may have a material adverse effect on your investment.

Governmental Control and Restriction on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.

All of our revenues generated by our PRC subsidiary are denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans, including loans we may secure from our onshore subsidiaries. Currently, our PRC subsidiary may purchase foreign currency for settlement of “current account transactions,” including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. Since we expect a significant portion of our future revenue will be denominated in Renminbi, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of mainland China and/or transfer cash out of mainland China to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our subsidiary. In addition, there can be no assurance that the competent PRC government will not intervene or impose restrictions on our ability to transfer or distribute cash within our organization or to foreign investors, which could result in an inability or prohibition on making transfers or distributions outside of mainland China and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

The transfer of funds and assets among CCSC Cayman, its Hong Kong and PRC subsidiaries is subject to governmental control and restriction. The competent PRC government imposes controls on the conversion of the RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of mainland China. In addition, the PRC EIT Law and its implementation

24

Table of Contents

rules provide that a withholding tax at a rate of 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to enterprises that are not mainland China resident enterprises, unless reduced under treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and the governments of other countries or regions where the enterprises that are not mainland China resident enterprises are tax resident.

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

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

There are uncertainties under the PRC Securities Law relating to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of mainland China.

On December 28, 2019, the amended Securities Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC Securities Law”) was promulgated, which became effective on March 1, 2020. According to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law (“Article 177”), the securities regulatory authority of the State Council may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with securities regulatory authorities of another country or region for the implementation of cross-border supervision and administration. Article 177 further provides that overseas securities regulatory authorities shall not engage in activities pertaining to investigations or evidence collection directly conducted within the territories of mainland China, and that no Chinese entities or individuals shall provide documents and information in connection with securities business activities to any organizations and/or persons aboard without the prior consent of the securities regulatory authority of the State Council and the competent departments of the State Council. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not aware of any implementing rules or regulations which have been published regarding application of Article 177.

As advised by our PRC counsel, JT&N, Article 177 is only applicable where the activities of overseas authorities constitute a direct investigation or evidence collection by such authorities within the territory of mainland China. Our principal business operation is conducted in the PRC. In the event that the U.S. securities regulatory agencies carry out an investigation on us, such as an enforcement action by the Department of Justice, the SEC or other authorities, such agencies’ activities will constitute an investigation or evidence collection directly within the territory of mainland China and, accordingly, will fall within the scope of Article 177. In that case, the U.S. securities regulatory agencies may have to consider establishing cross-border cooperation with the competent securities regulatory authorities of the PRC by way of judicial assistance, diplomatic channels or establishing a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the competent securities regulatory authority of the PRC. However, there is no assurance that the U.S. securities regulatory agencies will succeed in establishing such cross-border cooperation in this particular case and/or establish such cooperation in a timely manner.

Furthermore, as Article 177 is a recently promulgated provision and, as the date of this prospectus, there have not been implementing rules or regulations regarding the application of Article 177, it remains unclear as to how it will be interpreted, implemented or applied by the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission or other relevant government authorities. As such, there are uncertainties as to the procedures and requisite timing for the U.S. securities regulatory agencies to conduct investigations and collect evidence within the territory of mainland China. If the U.S. securities regulatory agencies are unable to conduct such investigations, there exists a risk that they may determine to suspend or de-register our registration with the SEC and may also delist our securities from Nasdaq or other applicable trading market within the U.S.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (“EIT Law”), we may be classified as a mainland China “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRC shareholders and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

Under the EIT Law that became effective in January 2008, an enterprise established outside mainland China with “de facto management bodies” within mainland China is considered a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes and is generally subject to a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate on its worldwide income. Under the implementation rules to the EIT Law, a “de facto management body” is defined as a body that has material and overall management and

25

Table of Contents

control over the manufacturing and business operations, personnel and human resources, finances, and properties of an enterprise. In addition, a circular, known as SAT Circular 82, issued in April 2009 by the State Administration of Taxation, or the “SAT,” specifies that certain offshore incorporated enterprises controlled by enterprises or enterprise groups that are mainland China resident enterprises will be classified as mainland China resident enterprises if the following are located or resident in mainland China: senior management personnel and departments that are responsible for daily production, operation and management; financial and personnel decision making bodies; key properties, accounting books, company seal, and minutes of board meetings and shareholders’ meetings; and half or more of the senior management or directors having voting rights. Further to SAT Circular 82, the SAT issued a bulletin, known as SAT Bulletin 45, which took effect in September 2011, to provide more guidance on the implementation of SAT Circular 82 and clarify the reporting and filing obligations of such “Chinese-controlled offshore incorporated resident enterprises.” SAT Bulletin 45 provides procedures and administrative details for the determination of resident status and administration on post-determination matters. Although both SAT Circular 82 and SAT Bulletin 45 only apply to offshore enterprises controlled by enterprises or enterprise groups that are mainland China resident enterprises, not those controlled by mainland China individuals or foreign individuals, the determining criteria set forth in SAT Circular 82 and SAT Bulletin 45 may reflect the SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of offshore enterprises, regardless of whether they are controlled by enterprises or enterprise groups that are mainland China resident enterprises, or by mainland China or foreign individuals.

If the competent PRC tax authorities determine that we meet all the criteria set forth in SAT Circular 82 and therefore the actual management organ of the Company is within the territory of mainland China, we may be deemed to be a mainland China resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes and a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we will be subject to the uniform 25% enterprise income tax on our world-wide income, which could materially reduce our net income. In addition, we will also be subject to PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. Finally, dividends payable by us to our investors and gains on the sale of our shares may become subject to PRC withholding tax, at a rate of 10% in the case of enterprises that are not mainland China resident enterprises or 20% in the case of individuals who are not mainland China residents (in each case, subject to the provisions of any applicable tax treaty), if such gains are deemed to be sourced from mainland China. It is unclear whether shareholders that are not mainland China residents of our company would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and mainland China in the event that we are treated as a mainland China resident enterprise. Any such tax may reduce the returns on your investment in our shares. Although, as of the date of this prospectus, we have not been notified or informed by the competent PRC tax authorities that we have been deemed to be a resident enterprise for the purpose of the EIT Law, we cannot assure you that we will not be deemed to be a resident enterprise in the future.

We face uncertainty with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in mainland China resident enterprises by their holding companies that are not mainland China resident enterprises.

In February 2015, SAT issued a Public Notice Regarding Certain Corporate Income Tax Matters on Indirect Transfer of Properties by Non-Tax Resident Enterprises, or “SAT Circular 7.” SAT Circular 7 provides comprehensive guidelines relating to indirect transfers of PRC taxable assets (including equity interests and real properties of a PRC resident enterprise) by a non-resident enterprise. In addition, in October 2017, SAT issued an Announcement on Issues Relating to Withholding at Source of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises, or “SAT Circular 37,” effective in December 2017, which, among others, amended certain provisions in SAT Circular 7 and further clarify the tax payable declaration obligation by non-resident enterprise. Indirect transfer of equity interest and/or real properties in a PRC resident enterprise by their non-PRC holding companies are subject to SAT Circular 7 and SAT Circular 37.

SAT Circular 7 provides clear criteria for an assessment of reasonable commercial purposes and has introduced safe harbors for internal group restructurings and the purchase and sale of equity through a public securities market. As stipulated in SAT Circular 7, indirect transfers of PRC taxable assets are considered as reasonable commercial purposes if the shareholding structure of both transaction parties falls within the following situations: i) the transferor directly or indirectly owns 80% or above equity interest of the transferee, or vice versa; ii) the transferor and the transferee are both 80% or above directly or indirectly owned by the same party; iii) the percentages in bullet points i) and ii) shall be 100% if over 50% the share value of a foreign enterprise is directly or indirectly derived from real properties in mainland China. Furthermore, SAT Circular 7 also brings challenges to both foreign transferor and transferee (or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer) of taxable assets. Where a non-resident enterprise transfers PRC taxable assets indirectly by disposing of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, which is an

26

Table of Contents

indirect transfer, the non-resident enterprise as either transferor or transferee, or the PRC entity that directly owns the taxable assets, may report such indirect transfer to the relevant tax authority and the PRC tax authority may disregard the existence of the overseas holding company if it lacks a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of reducing, avoiding, or deferring PRC tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, and the transferee or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer is obligated to withhold the applicable taxes, currently at a rate of 10% for the transfer of equity interests in a mainland China resident enterprise. Both the transferor and the transferee may be subject to penalties under PRC tax laws if the transferee fails to withhold the taxes and the transferor fails to pay the taxes.

According to SAT Circular 37, where the non-resident enterprise fails to declare the tax payable pursuant to Article 39 of the EIT Law, the tax authority may order it to pay the tax due within required time limits, and the non-resident enterprise shall declare and pay the tax payable within such time limits specified by the tax authority. If the non-resident enterprise, however, voluntarily declares and pays the tax payable before the tax authority orders it to do so within required time limits, it shall be deemed that such enterprise has paid the tax in time.

We face uncertainties as to the reporting and assessment of reasonable commercial purposes and future transactions where taxable assets in mainland China are involved, such as offshore restructuring, sale of the shares in our offshore subsidiaries, and investments. In the event of being assessed as having no reasonable commercial purposes in an indirect transfer transaction, we may be subject to filing obligations or taxed if we are a transferor in such transactions, and may be subject to withholding obligations (to be specific, a 10% withholding tax for the transfer of equity interests) if we are a transferee in such transactions, under SAT Circular 7 and SAT Circular 37. For transfer of shares by investors who are not mainland China resident enterprises, our PRC subsidiary may be requested to assist in the filing under the SAT circulars. As a result, we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with the SAT circulars or to request the relevant transferors from whom we purchase taxable assets to comply with these circulars, or to establish that we should not be taxed under these circulars, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

There are significant uncertainties under the EIT Law relating to the withholding tax liabilities of CCSC Interconnect DG, and dividends payable by CCSC Interconnect DG to our offshore subsidiaries may not qualify to enjoy certain treaty benefits.

Under the EIT Law and its implementation rules, the profits of a foreign-invested enterprise generated through operations, which are distributed to its immediate holding company outside mainland China, will be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10%. Pursuant to the Arrangement between the Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion on Income, or the “Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement,” a withholding tax rate of 10% may be lowered to 5% if the mainland China enterprise is at least 25% held by a Hong Kong enterprise for at least 12 consecutive months prior to distribution of the dividends and is determined by the relevant PRC tax authority to have satisfied other conditions and requirements under the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement and other applicable PRC laws.

However, based on the Circular on Certain Issues with Respect to the Enforcement of Dividend Provisions in Tax Treaties, or the “SAT Circular 81,” which became effective on February 20, 2009, if the relevant PRC tax authorities determine, in their discretion, that a company benefits from such reduced income tax rate due to a structure or arrangement that is primarily tax-driven, such PRC tax authorities may adjust the preferential tax treatment. According to Circular on Several Issues regarding the “Beneficial Owner” in Tax Treaties, which became effective as of April 1, 2018, when determining an applicant’s status as the “beneficial owner” regarding tax treatments in connection with dividends, interests, or royalties in the tax treaties, several factors will be taken into account. Such factors include whether the business operated by the applicant constitutes actual business activities, and whether the counterparty country or region to the tax treaties does not levy any tax, grant tax exemption on relevant incomes, or levy tax at an extremely low rate. This circular further requires any applicant who intends to be proved of being the “beneficial owner” to file relevant documents with the relevant tax authorities. CCSC Interconnect DG is wholly owned by our Hong Kong subsidiary, CCSC Technology Group. However, we cannot assure you that our determination regarding our qualification to enjoy the preferential tax treatment will not be challenged by the relevant PRC tax authority or we will be able to complete the necessary filings with the relevant PRC tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement with respect to dividends to be paid by CCSC Interconnect DG to CCSC Technology Group, in which case, we would be subject to the higher withdrawing tax rate of 10% on dividends received.

The M&A Rules and certain other PRC regulations establish complex procedures for some acquisitions of Chinese companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in mainland China.

The M&A Rules concerning mergers and acquisitions established procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time consuming and complex. For example, the M&A Rules require that the Ministry of Commerce be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor takes control of a mainland China domestic enterprise, if (i) any important industry is concerned, (ii) such transaction involves factors that have or may have impact on the national economic security, or (iii) such transaction will lead to a change in control of a domestic enterprise which holds a famous trademark or PRC time-honored brand. In addition, the security review rules issued by the Ministry of Commerce that became effective in September 2011 specify that mergers and acquisitions by foreign investors that raise “national defense and security” concerns and mergers and acquisitions through which foreign investors may acquire de facto control over domestic enterprises that raise “national security” concerns are subject to strict review by the Ministry of Commerce, and the rules prohibit any activities attempting to bypass a security review, including by structuring the transaction through a proxy or contractual control arrangement. In the future, we may grow our business by acquiring complementary businesses. Complying with the requirements of the above-mentioned regulations and other relevant rules to complete such transactions could be time consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the Ministry of Commerce or its local counterparts may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions. It is unlikely that our business would be deemed to be in an industry that raises “national defense and security” or “national security” concerns. The Ministry of Commerce or other government agencies, however, may publish explanations in the future determining that our business is in an industry subject to the security review, in which case our future acquisitions in mainland China, including those by way of entering into contractual control arrangements with target entities, may be closely scrutinized or prohibited. Our ability to expand our business or maintain or expand our market share through future acquisitions could, in such case, be materially and adversely affected.

If we become directly subject to the scrutiny, criticism, and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business operations, stock price, and reputation.

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 on financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism, and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies 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 us, our business, and the price of our Ordinary Shares. 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 our company. This situation would be costly and time consuming and could distract our management from developing our business. If such allegations are not proven to be groundless, we and our business operations could be severely affected and you could sustain a significant decline in the value of our Ordinary Shares.

The disclosures in our reports and other filings with the SEC and our other public pronouncements may be subject to the scrutiny of any regulatory bodies in the PRC.

We are regulated by the SEC, and our reports and other filings with the SEC are subject to SEC review in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Our SEC reports and other disclosure and public pronouncements are currently not subject to the review or scrutiny of any PRC regulatory authority. For example, the disclosure in our SEC reports and other filings are not subject to the review by the CSRC, a PRC regulator that is responsible for oversight of the capital markets in China. However, on February 17, 2023, with the approval of the State Council, the CSRC released the Trial Measures and five supporting guidelines, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. According to the Trial Measures, domestic companies that seek to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, should fulfill the filing procedures and submit relevant documents, including the prospectus and

28

Table of Contents

other listing documents submitted to overseas regulatory authorities, to the CSRC. In compliance with the Trial Measures, we submitted our filing materials to the CSRC for this offering. Upon examination of our filing materials, the CSRC notified us in writing that we are not subject to the filing requirement under the Trial Measures at this time. However, any new laws and regulations issued by the PRC authorities may subject us to additional compliance requirements, and we cannot assure you that the CSRC or other PRC authorities will not review or scrutinize our proposed offering and it is not clear how such scrutiny may affect our proposed offering.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We operate in a highly competitive industry, and the scale and resources of some of our competitors may allow them to compete more effectively than we can, which could result in a loss of our market share and a decrease in our net revenues and profitability.

We design and manufacture interconnect products, which is a highly competitive industry. We compete in various aspects, including value for money, user experience, breadth of product and service offerings, product functionality and quality, sales and distribution, supply chain management, customer loyalty, and engineering talent, among others. Intensified competition may result in pricing pressures and reduced profitability and may impede our ability to achieve sustainable growth in our revenues or cause us to lose market share. Our competitors may also engage in aggressive and negative marketing or public relations strategies which may harm our reputation and increase our marketing expenses. Any of these results could substantially harm our results of operations.

Some of our existing and potential competitors enjoy substantial competitive advantages, including: longer operating history, the capability to leverage their sales efforts and marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of products, more established relationships with a larger number of suppliers, contract manufacturers and channel partners, access to larger and broader user bases, greater brand recognition, greater financial, research and development, marketing, distribution and other resources, more resources to make investments and acquisitions, larger intellectual property portfolios, and the ability to bundle competitive offerings with other products and services. We cannot assure you that we will compete with them successfully.

A disruption, termination or alteration of the supply of materials or components due to natural disasters, political and economic turmoil, or widespread disease or pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) could materially and adversely affect the sales of our products.

Our business depends on the supply of manufacturing materials and components such as copper, plastic, solder bars, solder wires, and printed circuit boards. We are reliant on a consistent supply of materials and components in order to maintain our manufacturing capability. If these suppliers experience production delays, we may receive a lower allocation of materials and parts than anticipated, or if the quality or design of their materials and parts changes, or if these manufacturers implement recalls, we could incur substantive costs or disruptions to our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our net sales, financial condition, profitability and cash flows.

In addition, volatility in the financial markets, generally, could impact the financial viability of our suppliers, or could cause them to exit certain business lines, or change the terms on which they are willing to provide products. Further, any changes in quality or design, capacity limitations, shipping impediments, shortages of raw materials or other problems could result in shortages or delays in the supply of the raw material and components to us. Our business, operating results and financial condition could suffer if our suppliers reduce output or introduce new parts that are incompatible with our current designs or manufacturing process.

Further, public health crises could impair our ability to procure necessary materials and may also increase the cost of these materials. For example, an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) resulted in widespread quarantines and travel bans issued by the government all over the world for certain periods of time from 2020 to 2022. Such quarantines and travel bans had a negative impact on the worldwide economy, including those where we operate our business, and as a result, our financial results were adversely impacted for fiscal years 2021 and 2022. With the China’s nationwide loosening of COVID-19 policy since December 2022, a resurgence of pandemic could potentially increase the employee infection cases may disrupt the Company’s supply chain, and the continued uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may further negatively impact the Company’s future revenue growth and cash flows. For details about the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, see “Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Our Operations and Financial Performance”.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in our business, which may continue to materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. Many businesses and social activities in China and other countries and regions were severely disrupted in 2020, including those of our suppliers, customers and employees. This pandemic has also caused market panics, which materially and negatively affected the global financial markets, such as the plunge of global stocks on major stock exchanges in March 2020. Such disruption and slowdown of the world’s economy in 2020 and beyond had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We and our customers experienced significant business disruptions and suspension of operations due to quarantine measures to contain the spread of the pandemic, which caused shortages in the supply of raw materials and global supply chain disruptions, reduced our production capacity, increased the likelihood of default from our customers and delayed our product delivery. All of these resulted in adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition in the fiscal years ended 2022 and 2023. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business, operations and financial results in the future will depend on numerous evolving factors that the Company cannot accurately predict at this time, including the uncertainty on the resurgence of the COVID-19 cases in China and other countries, the continual spread of the virus globally, and the local and global government policies and restrictions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. With the China’s nationwide loosening of COVID-19 policy since December 2022, a resurgence of pandemic could potentially increase the employee infection cases and cause limited support from our employees due to quarantine, reduce the Company’s capability to execute customer contract and collect customer payments, or disrupt the Company’s supply chain, and the continued uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may further negatively impact the Company’s future revenue growth and cash flows. We are closely monitoring the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and continuously evaluating any further potential impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If the pandemic persists or escalates, we may be subject to further negative impact on our business operations and financial condition.

If we fail to acquire new customers or retain existing customers, especially our large customers, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Retaining our existing customers, especially our large customer, has always been essential to our success. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, there were three customers contributed 12.0%, 10.6% and 10.5% to our revenue, and were the only three customers who accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue; and for fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, our largest customer contributed a total of 15.5% to our revenue, and was the only customer who accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. Our supply agreements with our customers generally do not require them to purchase any products from us; rather we receive purchase orders from our customers on a monthly basis. If our products or services do not meet the requirements of our customers, or if our competitors offer more attractive products, prices, or better customer services, our existing customers may decrease or stop their purchase orders from us. The termination or any change of the purchase orders from our large customers could adversely affect our business and operating results. Furthermore, our ability to attract new customers is crucial to our growth. We have invested heavily in the branding, sales and marketing to acquire and retain customers since our inception. For example, we frequently attend domestic and international expos and exhibitions in an effort to marketing our products and attracting new customers. We also expect to continue to invest in our marketing and sales team to acquire new and retain existing customers. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire new customers despite our efforts. If we are unable to retain our existing customers or to acquire new customers in a cost-effective manner, our revenues may decrease and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Increases in the price of raw materials could impact our ability to sustain and grow earnings.

Our manufacturing processes consume substantive amounts of raw materials, the costs of which may be subject to worldwide supply and demand factors, as well as other factors beyond our control such as financial market trends and supply chain disruptions. Raw material price fluctuations may adversely affect our results. In particular, copper is the principal raw material used in the components that we source from our suppliers, accounting for a majority of the cost of sales. Our prevailing practice is to purchase these components at prices based on the average prevailing international spot market prices on the London Metal Exchange (the “LME”) for copper for the one month prior to purchase. The price of copper is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including global economic and political conditions, supply and demand, inventory levels maintained by suppliers, actions of participants in the commodities markets and currency

30

Table of Contents

exchange rates. As with other costs of production, changes in the price of copper may affect the Company’s cost of sales. Whether this has a material impact on our operating margins and financial results depends primarily on the Company’s ability to adjust selling prices to its customers, such that increases and decreases in the price of copper are fully reflected in those selling prices and customers continue to place orders. Most of our sales of manufactured products reflect the cost of copper used to manufacture those products at the time the products are ordered. In the ordinary course of business, we maintain inventories of raw materials and finished products reasonably necessary for the conduct of our business. These inventories typically reflect the cost of copper prevailing in the market at the time of purchase. A long-term decrease in the price of copper would require the Company to revalue its inventory at periodic intervals to the then net realizable value, which could be below cost. Copper prices have been subject to considerable volatility, and it is not always possible to manage our copper purchases and inventory to neutralize the impact of copper price volatility. In addition, an excessive increase in the price of copper could result in fewer orders from customers. Accordingly, significant volatility in copper prices could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not engage in hedging transactions against raw material price fluctuations, but attempt to mitigate the short-term risks of price volatility by purchasing raw materials in advance based on forecasted production needs and/or reaching agreements with some of our suppliers to keep the cost of raw materials stable. We also attempt to lower the consumption of raw materials by reducing waste and using recycled materials whenever possible and without compromising product quality. In addition, we may pass the increases in the costs of raw materials to customers by adjusting the selling price of our products. For example, as a result of the global supply chain disruptions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the average cost of the components and materials used in our products increased by 15.5% per unit in fiscal year 2023 as compared with fiscal year 2022, and increased by 48.3% per unit in fiscal year 2022 as compared to fiscal year 2021, and we raised the average selling price of our products by 19.8% per unit in fiscal year 2023 and 39.9% per unit in fiscal year 2022 to mitigate the inflationary pressures. Although these strategies have helped mitigate the negative impact from the raw material fluctuations in the past, they may not be enough to provide sufficient protections for our business in the future, and, as a result, our financial results could be negatively and materially affected.

We source our raw materials used for manufacturing from a limited number of suppliers. If we lose one or more of the suppliers, our operation may be disrupted, and our results of operations may be adversely and materially impacted.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no supplier accounted for more than 10% of the total purchases made by the Company. As we have a variety of options for supplies, and the technical demands of preparing most of our main supplies are relatively low, we do not anticipate difficulties in obtaining supplies to produce our products. However, if we lose suppliers and are unable to swiftly engage new suppliers, our operations may be disrupted or suspended, and we may not be able to deliver products to our customers on time. We may also have to pay a higher price to source materials from a different supplier on short notice. There is no guarantee that we will be able to locate appropriate new suppliers or supplier merger targets in our desired timeline. As such, our results of operations may be adversely and materially impacted.

The impact of currency value fluctuations could impact our reported financial performance and our ability to sustain and grow earnings.

We are exposed to risks of doing business on a global scale, including fluctuations in foreign currencies. Our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong, mainland China and the Netherlands use their respective currencies, which are Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”), Renminbi (“RMB”) and Euro (“EUR”), as their functional currencies. The consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus are prepared in US$ for reporting purposes. In the past, fluctuations in currency exchange rates have affected our reported results of operations. For example, as a result of the fluctuations in currency exchange rates, we recorded a foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive loss of US$728,399, due to the unfavorable exchange rate of our functional currencies towards US$ for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, and we recorded a foreign currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive income of $368,037 due to the favorable exchange rate of our functional currencies towards US$ for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022. As such, fluctuations in currency exchange rates from period-to-period may result in significant period-over-period changes in our reported financial performance.

Furthermore, due to our international operations, we may be required to purchase products or services with foreign currencies other than the currencies in which we normally conduct our operations. If the exchange rates for such currencies fluctuate in a manner that is unfavorable to us, our cost of sales may increase and we may be unable to shift the increase in the prices of the products or services we provide to our customers, which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance. For example, we recorded a foreign currency gain of $562,527, due to favorable

31

Table of Contents

exchange rates for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023; and a foreign currency loss of $199,759, due to unfavorable exchange rates for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly in the future, which could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows and impact the comparability of our results between financial periods.

We have limited sources of working capital and may need substantial additional financing.

The working capital required to implement our business strategy and research and development (“R&D”) efforts will most likely be provided by revenues generated by our business. No assurance can be given that we will have revenues sufficient to sustain our operations or that we would be able to obtain equity/debt financing in the current economic environment. If we do not have sufficient working capital and are unable to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional funds, we may delay the completion, or significantly reduce the scope, of our current business plan; delay some of our development and clinical or marketing efforts; postpone the hiring of new personnel; or, under certain dire financial circumstances, substantially curtail or cease our operations.

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash of approximately $7.71 million, total current assets of approximately $14.46 million and total current liabilities of approximately $4.39 million. We may need to engage in capital-raising transactions in the near future. Such financing transactions may cause substantial dilution to our shareholders and could involve the issuance of securities with rights senior to the outstanding shares. Our ability to access additional financing is dependent on, among other things, the state of the capital markets at the time of any proposed offering, market reception of the Company and the likelihood of the success of its business model and offering terms. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such additional capital through asset sales, equity or debt financing, or any combination thereof, on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our capital needs and to support our operations. If we do not obtain adequate capital on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, our revenues and operations and the value of our Ordinary Shares and Ordinary Share equivalents would be materially negatively impacted and we may cease our operations.

We are dependent on certain key personnel and loss of these key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success is, to a certain extent, attributable to the management, sales and marketing, and research and development expertise of key personnel. We do not carry key man life insurance for any of our key personnel, nor do we foresee purchasing such insurance to protect against the loss of key personnel. We are dependent upon the services of Dr. Chi Sing Chiu, Chairman of the board of directors of the Company, and Mr. Kung Lok Chiu, our Chief Executive Officer, for the continued growth and operation of our Company, due to their industry experience, technical expertise, as well as their personal and business contacts in the PRC. We may not be able to retain them for any given period of time. Although we have no reason to believe that Dr. Chi Sing Chiu or Mr. Kung Lok Chiu will discontinue their services with us, the interruption or loss of their services would adversely affect our ability to effectively run our business and pursue our business strategy as well as our results of operations.

The Company is dependent on the end markets, including industrial, automotive, robotics, medical equipment, computer, network and telecommunication, and consumer products, for the demand of its interconnect products, and is susceptible to negative trends relating to those industries that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

Demand for the Company’s products depends on the manufacturing needs for interconnect products of its customers in the various end markets, including industrial, automotive, robotics, medical equipment, computer, network and telecommunication, and consumer products. Therefore, the Company’s sales and profitability is susceptible to negative trends relating to those industries and will be affected by a variety of factors, including general economic conditions, consolidation within the industries, the financial condition of the Company’s customers and their access to financing, competition, technological developments, new legislation and regulation, among others. There can be no assurance that demand for the Company’s interconnect products will continue at the current level or not decrease in the future.

Our success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property.

Our success depends on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for products developed utilizing our technologies, in the PRC and in other countries, and to enforce these patents. There is no assurance that any of our existing and future patents will be held valid and enforceable against third-party infringement or that our products will

32

Table of Contents

not infringe any third-party patent or intellectual property. We own 68 valid patents and have filed 4 additional patent applications with the China National Intellectual Property Administration; however, there is no assurance that our filed patent applications will be granted.

Any patents relating to our technologies may not be sufficiently broad to protect our products. In addition, our patents may be challenged, potentially invalidated or potentially circumvented. Our patents may not afford us protection against competitors with similar technology or permit the commercialization of our products without infringing third-party patents or other intellectual property rights.

We also rely, or intend to rely, on our trademarks, trade names and brand names to distinguish our products from the products of our competitors, and have registered, or will apply to register, a number of these trademarks. However, third parties may oppose our trademark applications or otherwise challenge our use of the trademarks. In the event that our trademarks are successfully challenged, we could be forced to rebrand our products, which could result in loss of brand recognition and could require us to devote resources to advertising and marketing these new brands. Further, our competitors may infringe our trademarks, or we may not have adequate resources to enforce our trademarks.

In addition, we also have trade secrets, non-patented proprietary expertise and continuing technological innovation that we shall seek to protect, in part, by entering into confidentiality agreements with licensees, suppliers, employees and consultants. These agreements may be breached and there may not be adequate remedies in the event of a breach. Disputes may arise concerning the ownership of intellectual property or the applicability of confidentiality agreements. Moreover, our trade secrets and proprietary technology may otherwise become known or be independently developed by our competitors. If patents are not issued with respect to products arising from research, we may not be able to maintain the confidentiality of information relating to these products.

The Company’s international operations subject the Company to additional business risks that may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company’s headquarters is in Hong Kong, and conducts business through its subsidiaries established in mainland China, Hong Kong and the Netherlands. The Company’s products are currently sold to customers in more than 25 countries. Due to its international operations, the Company is subject to the risks of conducting business internationally, including unexpected changes in, or impositions of, legislative or regulatory requirements, which could materially adversely affect operating expenses, tariffs and other barriers and restrictions, potentially longer payment cycles, greater difficulty in accounts receivable collection, reduced or limited protection of intellectual property rights, potentially adverse taxes and the burdens of complying with a variety of international laws and communications standards. The Company is subject to foreign currency volatility, which could materially impact the Company’s operating results, including the impact of hyper-inflationary conditions in certain economies, particularly where exchange controls limit or eliminate the Company’s ability to convert from local currency. The Company is also subject to general geopolitical risks, such as political and economic instability, social unrest, terrorism and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships in connection with its international operations. Any such disruption could cause the loss of sales and customers. Moreover, these types of events could negatively impact consumer spending or the economy in the impacted regions or depending upon the severity, globally. These risks of conducting business internationally may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Other examples of risks arising from our international operations include the following, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and cash flows:

        increased transportation costs or delays and other logistical problems relating to the transportation of goods shipped by ocean or air freight, including border closures, trade conflicts and general trade route delays caused by events such as adverse weather and stoppages in the Suez Canal;

        restrictions on the transfer of funds from such countries to the United States;

        imposition of currency controls;

        increased labor costs and/or shortages;

        changes in governmental policies and regulations, including changes to import/export regulations, tariffs, freight rates or the adoption of protectionist legislation;

33

Table of Contents

        differing and potentially adverse tax consequences, including consequences resulting from the complexities of foreign corporate income tax systems, value added tax (“VAT”) regimes, tax withholding rules, and other indirect taxes, tax collection or remittance obligations, and restrictions on the repatriation of earnings;

        the availability and extent of intellectual property law protections;

        longer payment cycles and difficulties in managing international accounts receivable;

        trade sanctions, political unrest, terrorism, war, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict, epidemics, pandemics, including COVID-19, or the threats of any of these or similar events;

        changing or unstable economic conditions or poor infrastructure; and\or

        different customer demand dynamics and difficulties and costs that arise in our efforts to adapt to local purchasing behaviors and consumer preferences.

Our business is subject to complex and evolving foreign laws and regulations where we sell our products; these laws and regulations are subject to change and uncertain interpretation, and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations or declines in sales.

We are subject to a variety of foreign laws and regulations in the countries where we sell our products, including intellectual property, competition, consumer protection, product safety, and social benefits. Furthermore, the introduction of new products in our existing markets and the expansion of our business to other countries may subject us to additional laws and regulations, among others resulting from the need to obtain additional licenses and approvals to conduct our businesses as envisioned. In addition, the application or interpretation of these laws and regulations is not clear in some jurisdictions, which could make compliance more costly. Moreover, if third parties we work with, such as our suppliers and other business partners, violate applicable laws or our policies, such violations may result in joint or secondary liability for us.

The Company’s business will suffer if the Company fails to develop and successfully introduce new and enhanced products that meet the changing needs of the Company’s customers.

The interconnect product industry is developing rapidly, and related technology trends are constantly evolving. This results in the frequent introduction of new products and services, relatively short product design cycles and significant price competition. Consequently, our future success depends on our ability to anticipate technology development trends and identify, develop and commercialize in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our new and advanced products must also meet our customers’ evolving demand over time. Moreover, it may take an extended period of time for our new products to gain market acceptance, if at all. New product development often requires long-term forecasting of market trends, development and implementation of new designs and processes and a substantial capital commitment. Any failure by the Company to anticipate or respond in a cost-effective and timely manner to technological developments or changes in industry standards or customer requirements, or any significant delays in product development or introduction or any failure of new products to be widely accepted by the Company’s customers, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition as a result of reduced net sales.

Our business may be adversely impacted by product defects.

Product defects can occur throughout the product development, design and manufacturing processes or as a result of our reliance on third parties for components, raw materials, and manufacturing. Any product defects or any other failure of our products or substandard product quality could harm our reputation and result in adverse publicity, lost revenues, delivery delays, product recalls, relationships with our customers and other business partners, product liability claims, administrative penalties, harm to our brand and reputation, and significant warranty and other expenses, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. Historically, since we have implemented strict quality control procedures, our defect rate was close to 0% and our warranty cost each of fiscal years 2023 and 2022 was $0. However, there can be no assurance that our defect rate will remain low or we will not incur any warranty costs in the future.

If we fail to maintain an effective quality control system, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

We place great emphasis on product quality and adhere to stringent quality control measures and have obtained quality control certifications for our products. To meet our customers’ requirements and expectations for the quality and safety of our products, we have adopted a stringent quality control system to ensure that every step of the production process is strictly monitored and managed. Failure to maintain an effective quality control system or to obtain or renew our quality standards certifications may result in a decrease in demand for our products or cancellation or loss of purchase orders from our customers, or our reputation could be impaired. As a result, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We rely on third-party logistics service providers to deliver our products. Disruption in logistics may prevent us from meeting customer demand and our business, results of operations and financial condition may suffer as a result.

We engage third-party logistics service providers to deliver our products from our warehouses to our customers. Disputes with or termination of our contractual relationships with one or more of our logistics service providers could result in delayed delivery of products or increased costs. There can be no assurance that we can continue or extend relationships with our current logistics service providers on terms acceptable to us, or that we will be able to establish relationships with new logistics service providers to ensure accurate, timely and cost-efficient delivery services. If we are unable to maintain or develop good relationships with our preferred logistics service providers, it may inhibit our ability to offer products in sufficient quantities, on a timely basis, or at prices acceptable to our consumers. If there is any breakdown in our relationships with our preferred logistics service providers, we cannot assure you that no interruptions in our product delivery will occur or that they would not materially and adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations.

As we do not have any direct control over these logistics service providers, we cannot guarantee their quality of service. In addition, services provided by these logistics service providers could be interrupted by unforeseen events beyond our control, such as poor handling provided by these logistics service providers, natural disasters, pandemics, adverse weather conditions, riots and labor strikes. If there is any delay in delivery, damage to products or any other issue, we may lose customers and sales and our brand image may be tarnished.

Our production facility may be unable to maintain efficiency, encounter problems in ramping up production or otherwise have difficulty meeting our production requirements.

Our future growth will depend upon our ability to maintain efficient operations at our existing production facility and our ability to expand our production capacity as needed. The average utilization rate of our production lines was 79.8% and 80.8% for fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. The utilization rate of our production facility depends primarily on the demand for our products and the availability and maintenance of our machinery and equipment but may also be affected by other factors, such as the availability of employees, seasonal factors and changes in environmental laws and regulations. In order to meet our customers’ demands and advancements in technology, we maintain and upgrade our equipment periodically. If we are unable to maintain our production facilities’ efficiency, we may be unable to fulfill our purchase orders in a timely manner, or at all. This would negatively impact our reputation, business and results of operations.

If CCSC Interconnect DG were to lose its accreditation as a National High Tech Enterprise in China, we could face higher tax rates than we currently pay for much of our revenues.

CCSC Interconnect DG has been approved as a High and New-Technology Enterprise (“HNTE”) since 2016. The HNTE status is valid for three (3) years and entitles CCSC Interconnect DG to a favorable income tax rate of 15% rather than the unified rate of 25%. The Company renewed its HNTE certificate on December 22, 2022, which entitles CCSC Interconnect DG to a favorable income tax rate of 15% for the years of 2022 – 2024. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the taxes payable by CCSC Interconnect DG would have increased by $209,381 and $223,773, respectively, if CCSC Interconnect DG were not certified a HNTE. In the event we were to lose the benefit of the favorable tax rate in the future, we could see significant increases in the amount of taxes we pay, meaning that our operating results could be materially harmed, even in the absence of a decrease in our operations.

Risks Relating to the Offering and Our Ordinary Shares

Since Dr. Chi Sing Chiu, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company, through his equity interest in the CCSC Investment Limited (as the largest shareholder of the Company), will have the voting power of at least 50% of our Ordinary Shares following our proposed initial public offering, he will have the ability to elect directors and approve matters requiring shareholder approval by way of resolution of members.

Dr. Chi Sing Chiu, the chairman of the board of directors of the Company, is also a controlling shareholder of the Company, currently owns approximately 84.06% of our total voting power, through his 69.20% of equity interest in the CCSC Investment Limited, the largest shareholder of the Company. After the completion of the proposed initial public offering of our Ordinary Shares, Dr.  Chi Sing Chiu will continue to have the right to vote at least 50% of the Ordinary Shares. As such, he is expected to have sufficient voting power to pass ordinary resolutions of the shareholders without the votes of any other shareholders pursuant to our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, including an ordinary resolution to elect all directors.” This could permit Dr. Chi Sing Chiu to have significant influence over a decision to enter into any corporate transaction and have the ability to prevent any transaction that requires the approval of shareholders, regardless of whether or not our other shareholders believe that such transaction is in our best interests. Such concentration of voting power could have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing a change of control or other business combination, which could, in turn, have an adverse effect on the market price of our Ordinary Shares or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the then-prevailing market price for their Ordinary Shares.

If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls or fail to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that have been identified, we may fail to meet our reporting obligations or be unable to accurately report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected.

Prior to this offering, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting. However, in preparing our consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we and our independent registered public accounting firm have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the standards established by the PCAOB, and other control deficiencies. The material weaknesses identified included (i) a lack of accounting staff and resources with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting and compliance requirements; (ii) a lack of proactive oversight on the implementation of elevated access to controls over our financial reporting system; and (iii) a lack of independent directors and an audit committee. Following the identification of the material weaknesses and control deficiencies, we plan to continue to take remedial measures including (i) hiring more qualified accounting personnel with relevant U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting experience and qualifications to strengthen the financial reporting function and to set up a financial and system control framework; (ii) implementing regular and continuous U.S. GAAP accounting and financial reporting training programs for our accounting and financial reporting personnel; (iii) setting up an internal audit function as well as engaging an external consulting firm to assist us with assessment of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements and improvement of overall internal control; and (iv) appointing independent directors, establishing an audit committee, and strengthening corporate governance. However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Our failure to correct the material weaknesses or our failure to discover and address any other material weaknesses or control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our Ordinary Shares, may be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting significantly hinders our ability to prevent fraud.

Upon the completion of this offering, we will become a public company in the United States subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 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 as an emerging growth company, 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 weaknesses

in internal control over financial reporting could result in financial statement errors which, in turn, could lead to errors in 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 Nasdaq Capital Market.

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

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

As a foreign private issuer, we are not subject to certain U.S. securities law disclosure requirements that apply to a domestic U.S. issuer, and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, which may limit the information publicly available to our investors and afford them less protection than if we were an U.S. issuer.

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to take advantage of certain provisions in the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules 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. The Cayman Islands law does not require a majority of our board to consist of independent directors. Since a majority of our board of directors may not consist of independent directors, fewer board members may be exercising independent judgment and the level of board oversight on the management of our company may decrease as a result. In addition, the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have a compensation committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, and an audit committee with a minimum of three members. We, as a foreign private issuer, are not subject to these requirements. The Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules may require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters, such as requiring that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, and certain ordinary share issuances. We intend to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rules in determining whether shareholder approval is required on such matters and to appoint a nominating and corporate governance committee. However, we are permitted to, and we may choose to follow, home country practice in lieu of the requirements under the Nasdaq Stock Market listing rules with respect to certain corporate governance standards which may afford less protection to investors. Therefore, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

Table of Contents

As a foreign private issuer we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and therefore there may be less publicly available information about us than if we were a U.S. domestic issuer. 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 non-public information under Regulation FD.

We are required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four (4) months of the end of each fiscal year. 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.

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, and, accordingly, the next determination with respect to our status will be made on [September 30, 2024]. 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 beginning on [September 30, 2024], 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 Stock Market 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.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares if we are successfully listed and the market price of our Ordinary Shares increases.

The price of our Ordinary Shares and other terms of this offering have been determined by us along with our underwriters.

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

There may not be an active, liquid trading market for our Ordinary Shares.

Prior to the completion of this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. An active trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not develop or be sustained following this offering. You may not be able to sell your shares at the market price, if at all, if trading in our shares is not active. The initial public offering price was determined by negotiations between us and our advisors based upon a number of factors. The initial public offering price may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market.

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

The market price of our shares could decline as a result of sales of substantial amounts of our shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur. In addition, these factors could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future offerings of our Ordinary Shares. An aggregate of 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares are outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, all of which, except those Ordinary Shares held by certain shareholders who are subject to the Lock-up Agreements, see “Underwriting — Lock-up Agreements”, will be freely tradable immediately upon effectiveness of this registration statement. All of the shares sold in the offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.”

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

Investors purchasing our Ordinary Shares in this offering will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share. As a result, investors purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $3.69 per share, representing the difference between our assumed initial public offering price of $5.00 per share and our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of $1.31. For more information on the dilution you may experience as a result of investing in this offering, see the section of this prospectus entitled “Dilution.”

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

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

We may experience extreme stock price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares.

There have been recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with a number of recent initial public offerings, especially among companies with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float, we may experience greater share 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 share run-up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected

operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, investors of our Ordinary Shares may experience losses, which may be material, if the price of our Ordinary Shares declines after this offering or if such investors purchase Ordinary Shares prior to any price decline.

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

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

Because we are a Cayman Islands company and all of our business is conducted in the PRC, you may be unable to bring an action against us or our officers and directors or to enforce any judgment you may obtain, and the U.S. regulatory bodies may be limited in their ability to conduct investigations or inspections of our operations in China.

We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands and conduct our operations primarily in China. Substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States and the proceeds of this offering will primarily be held in banks outside of the United States. In addition, the majority of our directors and officers reside outside of 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 we have violated your rights, either under United States federal or state securities laws or otherwise, or if you have a claim against us. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and of China may not permit you to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. See “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.

The SEC, the U.S. Department of Justice and other U.S. authorities may also have difficulties in bringing and enforcing actions against us or our directors or executive officers in the PRC. The SEC has stated that there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for investigations or litigation in China. China has recently adopted a revised securities law, and Article 177 of which provides, among other things, that no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. Accordingly, without governmental approval in China, no entity or individual in China may provide documents and information relating to securities business activities to overseas regulators when it is under direct investigation or evidence discovery conducted by overseas regulators, which could present significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for investigations and litigation conducted in China.

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

Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. These rights, however, may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our articles of association allow one or more of our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than one-third of our voting share capital in issue, to requisition a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. Advance notice of at least seven calendar days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting (if any) and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least one shareholder present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third of the total issued shares carrying the right to vote at a general meeting of the Company.

General Risk Factors

We may not be able to hire and retain qualified personnel to support our growth and if we are unable to retain or hire these personnel in the future, our ability to improve our products and implement our business objectives could be adversely affected.

We must attract, recruit and retain a sizeable workforce of technically competent employees. Competition for management and personnel in the PRC and Hong Kong is intense and the pool of qualified candidates in the PRC is limited. We may not be able to retain the services of our executives or personnel, or attract and retain high-quality senior executives or personnel in the future. This failure could materially and adversely affect our future growth and financial condition.

Our success depends on our ability to increase awareness of our brands and develop customer loyalty.

Our brands are integral to our sales and marketing efforts. We believe that maintaining and enhancing our brand name recognition in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our current and future products and is an important element in our effort to increase our customer base. Successful promotion of our brand names will depend largely on our marketing efforts and ability to provide reliable and quality products at competitive prices. Brand promotion activities may not necessarily yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we will incur in marketing activities. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, or if we incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brands, we may fail to attract new customers or retain our existing customers, in which case our business, operating results and financial condition, would be materially adversely affected.

We require various approvals, licenses, permits and certifications to operate our business. If we fail to obtain or renew any of these approvals, licenses, permits or certifications, it could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

In accordance with the laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, we are required to maintain various approvals, licenses, permits and certifications in order to operate our business or engage in the business we plan to enter into. Complying with such laws and regulations may require substantial expenses, any non-compliance may expose us to liability. In the event of that government authorities consider us to be in non-compliance, we may have to incur significant expenses and divert substantial management time to rectify the incidents. If we fail to obtain all the necessary approvals, licenses, permits and certifications, we may be subject to fines or the suspension of operations of the facilities that do not have the requisite approvals, licenses, permits or certifications, which would adversely affect our reputation, business and results of operations. See “Regulation” for further details on the requisite approvals license permits and certifications.

The initial public offering price of our Ordinary Shares may not be indicative of the market price of our Ordinary Shares after this offering. In addition, an active, liquid and orderly trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not develop or be maintained, and our stock price may be volatile.

Prior to the completion of this offering, our Ordinary Shares were not traded on any market. An active, liquid and orderly trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not develop or be maintained after this offering. Active, liquid and orderly trading markets usually result in less price volatility and more efficiency in carrying out investors’ purchase and sale orders. The market price of our Ordinary Shares could vary significantly as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. In the event of a drop in the market price of our Ordinary Shares, you could lose a substantial part or all of your investment in our Ordinary Shares. The initial public offering price will be determined by us, based on numerous factors and may not be indicative of the market price of our Ordinary Shares after this offering. Consequently, you may not be able to sell shares of our Ordinary Shares at prices equal to or greater than the price paid by you in this offering.

The following factors could affect our share price:

        our operating and financial performance;

        quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as net income per share, net income and revenues;

        the public reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;

41

Table of Contents

        strategic actions by our competitors;

        changes in revenue or earnings estimates, or changes in recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage, by equity research analysts;

        speculation in the press or investment community;

        the failure of research analysts to cover our Ordinary Shares;

        sales of our Ordinary Shares by us or other shareholders, or the perception that such sales may occur;

        changes in accounting principles, policies, guidance, interpretations or standards;

        additions or departures of key management personnel;

        actions by our shareholders;

        domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance; and

        the realization of any risks described under this “Risk Factors” section.

The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. Securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the overall market and in the market price of a company’s securities. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in very substantial costs, divert our management’s attention and resources and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

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.

In April 2012, President Obama signed into law the JOBS Act. We are classified as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be up to five (5) 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 (5) 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 stock price may be more volatile.

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

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

Table of Contents

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

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

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 not 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 utilizing such funds for working capital, possible acquisitions, or other general corporate purposes, and we may spend or invest such proceeds in a way in which our shareholders may disagree. The failure by our management to apply such funds effectively could harm our business and financial condition. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from our initial public offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

The 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.

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

All of our officers and directors and shareholders who own five (5%) percent or more of our issued and outstanding shares have agreed not to sell our Ordinary Shares for a period of six (6) months after the closing of this offering. Ordinary shares subject to these lock-up agreements will become eligible for sale in the public market upon expiration of these lock-up agreements, subject to limitations imposed by Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market, the market price of our Ordinary Shares could fall. Moreover, the perceived risk of this potential dilution could cause shareholders to attempt to sell their shares and investors to short our Ordinary Shares. These sales also may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

These forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that our expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations and our actual results could be materially different from our expectations. Important risks and factors that could cause our actual results to be materially different from our expectations are generally set forth in “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 interconnect product 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 the Ordinary Shares. In addition, the rapidly evolving nature of the interconnect product 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 Relating 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.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Based upon an assumed initial public offering price of $5.00 per Ordinary Share, which is the midpoint of the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, we estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, of approximately $3.91 million, if the underwriters do not exercise the over-allotment option, and $4.77 million, if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full.

At closing of the offering, we will deposit $200,000 of the offering proceeds into a designated escrow account to cover possible indemnification claims against the underwriters for a period of 12 months from the closing of the offering. We plan to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for the following purposes:

        approximately 30% for upgrading facility and management system (including IT system) to enhance operational efficiency and increase production capacity;

        approximately 30% for marketing efforts and expand sales team;

        approximately 12% for research and development, including recruitment and cultivating of engineering talents;

        approximately 18% for strategic acquisitions and collaborations*; and

        approximately 10% to fund working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

____________

*        As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any specific acquisition target.

The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. Our management, however, will have significant flexibility and discretion to apply the net proceeds of this offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this prospectus. To the extent that the net proceeds we receive from this offering are not immediately used for the above purposes, we intend to invest our net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits or debt instruments.

As an offshore holding company, under PRC laws and regulations, we are only permitted to use the net proceeds of this offering to provide loans or make capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary, subject to certain limitations. Provided that we make the necessary registrations with government authorities and obtain the required governmental approvals, we may provide inter-company loans or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary to fund its capital expenditures or working capital requirements. However, we may not be able to make such registrations or obtain such approvals in a timely manner, or at all. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China.”

DIVIDEND POLICY

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

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

Current PRC laws and regulations permit our PRC subsidiary to pay dividends to CCSC Technology Group only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our PRC subsidiary 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. Our PRC subsidiary is also required to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at the discretion of its board of directors. Although the statutory reserves can be used, among other ways, to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings. These reserve funds, however, may not be distributed as cash dividends.

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

If we determine to pay dividends on any of our Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our direct wholly-owned subsidiaries. Pursuant to the EIT law and its implementation rules, any dividends paid by our PRC subsidiary to CCSC Technology Group will be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10% unless otherwise reduced to 5% by relevant tax authorities according to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion on Income, or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, or other applicable laws. In current practice, a Hong Kong entity must obtain a tax resident certificate from the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5% lower withholding tax rate. As the Hong Kong tax authority will issue such a tax resident certificate on a case-by-case basis, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5% under the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement with respect to dividends to be paid by our PRC subsidiary to our Hong Kong subsidiary, CCSC Technology Group. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not applied for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority. CCSC Technology Group, intends to apply for the tax resident certificate when CCSC Interconnect DG plans to declare and pay dividends to it. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — There are significant uncertainties under the EIT Law relating to the withholding tax liabilities of our PRC subsidiary, and dividends payable by our PRC subsidiary to our offshore subsidiaries may not qualify to enjoy certain treaty benefits.”

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 March 31, 2023, was approximately $9.78 million, or $0.98 per Ordinary Share. Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets, less intangible assets and the amount of our total consolidated liabilities. Dilution is determined by subtracting the net tangible book value per Ordinary Share (as adjusted for the offering) from the initial public offering price per Ordinary Share and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts, and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

After giving effect to our sale of 1,250,000 Ordinary Shares offered in this offering based on the initial public offering price of $5.00 per Ordinary Share after deduction of the estimated underwriting discounts, and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2023, would have been $14.74 million, or $1.31 per outstanding Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.33 per Ordinary Share to the existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $3.69 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 in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability in order to enjoy the following benefits:

        political and economic stability;

        an effective judicial system;

        a favorable tax system;

        the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and

        the availability of professional and support services.

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

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

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

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

We have been informed by Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States, or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or officers that are predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States. We have also been advised by Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), a judgment obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any reexamination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, provided such judgment (a) is given by a 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, and (e) was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities law if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

We have appointed Cogency Global Inc., located at 122 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10168, as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.

Jincheng Tongda & Neal Law Firm, or JT&N, our counsel as to PRC law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the competent 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 upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

JT&N has further advised us that the PRC Civil Procedures Law governs the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The competent PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between mainland China and the country or region where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions.

50

Table of Contents

Mainland China 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. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in mainland China 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 the competent 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 the competent 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.

In addition, it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders to originate actions against us in mainland 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 the competent PRC court to have jurisdiction as required under the PRC Civil Procedures Law.

On October 19, 2021, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CCSC Group, was established as an investment holding company with limited liability under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”).

CCSC Technology Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCSC Group, was incorporated on December 31, 1992 in Hong Kong, China, under its former name, “Leoco (H.K.) Limited”, which was changed to its current name on December 5, 2019.

CCSC Technology Group has three wholly-owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong, mainland China, and the Netherlands as follows:

        CCSC Interconnect DG, or Dongguan CCSC Interconnect Electronic Technology Limited, a company incorporated on June 28, 1993 in Dongguan, China;

        CCSC Interconnect HK, or CCSC Interconnect Technology Limited, a company incorporated on July 3, 2007 in Hong Kong, China; and

        CCSC Interconnect NL, or CCSC Interconnect Technology Europe B.V. a company incorporated on March 14, 2016 in the Netherlands.

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 financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks, and assumptions associated with these statements. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, we conduct our operations through direct wholly-owned operating subsidiaries established in Hong Kong, mainland China, and the Netherlands, primarily in the sale, design and manufacturing of interconnect products, including connectors, cables and wire harnesses. We specialize in customized interconnect products that are used for a range of applications in a diversified set of industries, including industrial, automotive, robotics, medical equipment, computer, network and telecommunication, and consumer products. We have a diversified global customer base located in more than 25 countries throughout Asia, Europe and the Americas. Many of our customers are global name-brand manufacturers, such as Linak A/S, Danfoss, Bitzer, Maersk, Universal Robots, Philips, Osram, Flextronics, Harman and Vtech, with whom we have established long-term working relationships.

In a continuous effort to meet various international production and quality manufacturing standards, we have been certified by the International Organization for Standardization (the “ISO”), specifically as to the following: ISO 9001 (quality management), 14001 (environment management), 45001 (occupational health and safety), and 13485 (medical devices quality management). In addition, we have also been certified to the IATF 16949, which is a technical specification for quality management systems in the automotive sector established by the International Automotive Task Force.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we had total revenue of US$24.06 million and US$27.17 million, respectively, and net income of US$2.21 million and US$2.29 million, respectively. Revenue derived from cables and wire harnesses accounted for approximately 92.3% and 90.1% of our total revenue for those fiscal years, respectively. Revenue derived from connectors accounted for approximately 7.7% and 9.9% of our total revenue for those fiscal years, respectively.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, approximately 63.3%, and 58.8% of our revenue was generated from our top ten customers, respectively.

Major Factors Affecting our Result of Operations

Our revenue is primarily derived from sales of both OEM (“original equipment manufacturer”) and ODM (“original design manufacture”) interconnect products, including connectors, cables and wire harnesses, to manufacturing companies and electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) companies in Europe, Asia and Americas. Our performance and business outlook are influenced by the following major factors:

Our ability to control the costs of raw materials and components

The costs of the components we source from suppliers are largely dependent on market forces, such as fluctuations of commodity prices, raw material prices, market supply and demand, and logistics and transport costs. Because the cost of components represents over 70% of our total cost of sales, higher or lower component costs affects our gross margins. Increases in the market price of components typically enable us to raise our selling prices. As our business further grows in scale, we expect to have higher bargaining power and, hence, more favorable terms, including pricing and payment terms, for the sourcing of components.

54

Table of Contents

Impact of foreign exchange fluctuation

Since we operate internationally, we sometimes purchase products and services with foreign currencies other than the currencies in which we normally conduct our operations. If the exchange rates for such currencies fluctuate in a manner that is unfavorable to us, our cost of sales may increase and we may be unable to shift the increase in the prices of the products or services we provide to our customers, which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly in the future, which could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers

The interconnect product market is highly competitive. We compete in various aspects, including value for money, user experience, breadth of product and service offerings, product functionality and quality, sales and distribution, supply chain management, and customer loyalty, among others. Some factors that may affect our ability to meet customer demands and to attract customers include our ability to (i) design and manufacture products from the perspective of our customers in terms of raw material selection, functional and structural specifications, and technical requirements; (ii) invest in the branding, sales and marketing to acquire new customers and maintain long-term business relationships with many of our key customers; and (iii) attract new potential customers through attending the worldwide exhibitions such as the Electronica trade fair.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Our Operations and Financial Performance

Our results of operations and financial condition were negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and could continue to be further affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the extent of which will depend on the future developments of the pandemic, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business operations in the following aspects:

        Since 2020, some of our customers who were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic reduced their demand for our products, such as cables and wire harnesses for outdoor lighting solutions. During fiscal year 2022 and 2023, we took a series of measures, including tailoring our communication methods to replace physical meetings by setting up virtual meetings (e.g., Zoom meetings) with our customers on a regular basis or when required by our customers, and enhancing our presence on social media (e.g., LinkedIn) to strengthen our relationships with existing major customers, in an effort to mitigate risks brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. In fiscal years 2023 and 2022, sales to our top customers accounted for a significant portion of our total revenue. Our revenue attributable to our top ten customers increased to US$15.23 million, or 63.3%, of our revenue, for fiscal year 2023, from US$15.98 million, or 58.8%, of our revenue for fiscal year 2022.

        In fiscal year 2022, we experienced some disruptions to our supply chain that led the suppliers to increase lead times and prices for components and raw materials. In particular, the price of copper, which is the principal raw material used in the components that we source from our suppliers, increased tremendously due to rising global demand. Supply chain logistics also inflated the price of copper and the price of copper reached a record high in March 2022, as it was taking longer to move commodities around the world. As a result, the average cost of the components and materials used in our products increased by 15.5% per unit in fiscal year 2023 as compared with fiscal year 2022. To counter the higher costs, we had to raise the average selling price of our products by 19.8% per unit. Our gross profit margin increased to 32.7% from 27.5%. However, in response to the expected increase of supply chain costs that caused the rising of our unit selling price, our customers had purchased products in advance from us in the fiscal year 2022 and the first half of the fiscal year 2023, resulting in a contraction in demand in the second half of the fiscal year 2023, and our revenue decreased by 11.4%, from US$27.17 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$24.06 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

        With the China’s nationwide loosening of COVID-19 policy since December 2022, a resurgence of pandemic could potentially increase the employee infection cases and cause limited support from our employees due to quarantine may disrupt the Company’s supply chain, and the continued uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may further negatively impact the Company’s future revenue growth and cash flows.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine Military Conflict

In February 2022, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia (the “Invasion”) and the ensuing economic sanctions imposed by other countries against Russia have resulted in escalating geopolitical tensions and global supply chain disruptions. Because we do not have any customers or suppliers in Russia or Ukraine, generate any revenue from Russia or Ukraine, or use any products or commodities, including energy from Russia, in our business or products sold by us, our operations have not been materially impacted by the Invasion directly. However, as our products are sold globally, our business and operating results have been and will continue to be affected by worldwide economic conditions caused by the Invasion, which have contributed to supply chain disruptions and inflationary cost pressures. The deterioration of the global supply chain and related disruptions due to the Invasion, directly or indirectly, have contributed to fluctuations of the procurement costs of our components and raw materials. Although, historically we have been able to pass on the increases in costs to our customers, to some extent, by increasing the prices of our products, there is no guarantee that we will be able to continue to do so in the future. In the event that we are not able to pass on any increases in the procurement costs to our customers as a consequence of the Invasion, our profit margin and/or net profit could deteriorate.

Furthermore, Russia is a major player in global energy markets and the Invasion has led to significant destabilization of the global energy market. European electricity and natural gas prices are now close to ten times their historical average in the decade leading up to 2020. With no end to the Invasion in sight, the demand for our products, particularly from our European customers, have been reduced, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations have been negatively impacted.

Revenue

We generated revenue primarily from the sales of both OEM and ODM interconnect products, including connectors, cables and wire harnesses, to manufacturing companies and EMS companies, who procure and assemble products on behalf of manufacturing companies. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our total revenue was US$24.06 million and US$27.17 million, respectively. During these periods, we derived all of our revenue from sales in Europe, Asia and Americas.

Our revenue decreased by 11.4%, from US$27.17 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$24.06 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the 26.1% decrease of the total sales volume from approximately 55.39 million units for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to approximately 40.93 million units for fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, and partially offset by the increase of 19.8% the average selling price of our products from US$0.49 per unit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$0.59 per unit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Our revenue generated from the sales to our top ten customers slightly decreased to US$15.23 million, or 63.3%, of our revenue for fiscal year 2023, from US$15.98 million, or 58.8%, of our revenue for fiscal year 2022. Many of our major customers are global name-brand manufacturers, such as Linak, Danfoss and Bitzer, and our relationships with many of our major customers date back many years. In fiscal years 2023 and 2022, sales to our top customers accounted for a significant portion of our total revenue; however, as the Company continues to develop new customers and expand into more markets, we expect such customer concentration will diminish over time.

The following table sets forth our revenue by our interconnect products for the indicated periods.

For fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, our revenue generated from cables and wire harnesses decreased by 9.3%, from US$24.49 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$22.21 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The decrease of sales from cables and wire harnesses was primarily attributable to the decrease of sale volume and partially offset by increase of the overall selling prices of our cables and wire harness products. Compared with fiscal year 2022, our sales volume of cables and wire harnesses decreased by 27.0% from approximately 18.05 million units in fiscal year 2022 to approximately 13.17 million units in fiscal year 2023, and our average selling prices increased by 24.3% from US$1.36 per unit in fiscal year 2022 to US$1.69 per unit in fiscal year 2023, as we adjusted the selling prices in response to the increase in the costs of components and materials since July 2021. Our customers had purchased products in advance from us in fiscal year 2022 and the first half of the fiscal year 2023 in response to the expected increase of supply chain costs, resulting in a contraction in customer demand in the second half of the fiscal year 2023.

Our revenue generated from connectors accounted for 7.7% of our total revenue and decreased by 31.2% from US$2.68 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$1.85 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the 25.7% decrease of our total sales volume from approximate 37.34 million units in fiscal year 2022 to approximate 27.76 million units in fiscal year 2023 because our customers had purchased products in advance from us in fiscal year 2022 and the first half of the fiscal year 2023 in response to the expected increase of supply chain costs, resulting in a contraction in demand in the second half of the fiscal year 2023.

All of our revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was generated from sales of our products to customers located in Europe, Asia and Americas. The following table sets forth the disaggregation of revenue by regions:

Our revenue generated from Europe decreased by 8.5%, from US$16.45 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$15.04 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease of sales in Denmark of US$0.56 million, from US$10.65 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, to US$10.10 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, (ii) a decrease of sales in Belgium of US$0.46 million, from US$0.46 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, to US$0.01 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, (iii) a decrease of sales in Bulgaria of US$0.30 million, from US$1.18 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, to US$0.88 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, (iv) a decrease of sales in Italy of US$0.25 million, from US$0.29 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, to US$0.04 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, and partially offset by the increase of sales of US$0.44 million in Hungary.

Our revenue generated from Asia decreased by 14.8%, from US$8.73 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, to US$7.44 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, which was primarily due to sales decreases in China of US$1.80 million, and partially offset by the increase in sales in Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of US$0.55 million. Sales orders in China decreased because our customers had purchased products in advance from us in the fiscal year 2022 and the first half of the fiscal year 2023 in response to the expected increase of supply chain costs, resulting in a contraction in demand in the second half of the fiscal year 2023. Our customers in ASEAN had increased demand for our cables and harness products for industrial power supply and robotic applications, and we were able to sell such products to these customers with higher unit selling prices.

Our revenue generated from the Americas decreased by US$0.42 million, from US$1.99 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$1.58 million for the year ended March 31, 2023, which was primarily due to sales decrease in Northern America of US$0.40 million.

Cost of revenue

Our cost of revenue primarily consists of the following: (i) inventory costs, which primarily include procurement costs for components for the manufacturing of our products, including 1) cables and plastics, including single wires, insulation tubes, standard connectors, plastic fabricated parts, 2) metal parts, including metal shells, metal terminals, metal fabricated parts, and 3) electronic parts, including printed circuit boards, LEDs, resistors, capacitors, transistors, inductors, thermistors, potentiometers, ferrite cores, switches and semiconductors; (ii) labor costs, which consist of salaries and benefits of employees; (iii) rental expenses for the factory and dormitory of employees; (iv) depreciation expenses on our plant, property and equipment used for production; and (v) other expenses that are directly attributable to our principle operations, which primarily include freight charges for materials and components, and electricity and water used for manufacturing.

Our cost of revenue decreased by US$3.50 million, or 17.8%, from US$19.69 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$16.19 million for the year ended March 31, 2023, which was in line with the decrease of the total revenue. The reason was primarily due to (i) a decrease of our inventory costs from US$14.22 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$12.10 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, and (ii) a decrease of our labor costs from US$4.23 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$2.87 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Our inventory costs represented a significant portion of our cost of revenue. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our inventory costs amounted to US$12.10 million and US$14.22 million, respectively, representing 74.8% and 72.2% of our total cost of revenue for such respective periods. The decrease of our inventory costs was primarily due to 26.1% decrease of the total sales volume from approximately 55.39 million units in fiscal year 2022 to approximately 40.93 million units in fiscal year 2023 and partially offset by the 15.5% increase of inventory cost per unit from US$0.26 in fiscal year 2022 to US$0.30 in fiscal year 2023.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, our labor costs amounted to US$2.87 million and US$4.23 million respectively, representing 17.7% and 21.9% of our total cost of revenue. The decrease of labor costs was primarily because we reduced the number of manufacturing employees from 235 in fiscal year 2022 to 166 in fiscal year 2023 to improve our operational efficiency.

The gross profit margin increased by 5.2%, from 27.5% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to 32.7% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, which was primarily because the average selling price of our products was increased by 19.8% from US$0.49 per unit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$0.59 per unit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, in response to the increase in the costs of components and materials, which increased by 15.5%, from US$0.26 per unit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$0.30 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. As a result, our overall profitability increased by 5.2%, as the increase in average unit selling price outpaced the increase in average unit cost.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses primarily consist of: (i) salaries and benefits for our sales and marketing personnel; (ii) freight charges from our warehouses to our customers; (iii) marketing and entertainment expenses, including travelling, exhibition and promotion expenses; and (iv) other expenses, which primarily include free samples expense, office expenses and rental expenses. Our selling expenses increased by 26.7%, or US$0.23 million from US$0.87 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$1.10 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The increase was a result of combined factors that included: (i) an increase of US$0.16 million in exhibition expenses mainly for the Electronica trade fair in Munich, Germany, which was held in November 2022 and (ii) an increase of US$0.08 million in freight charges due to the impact of sea freight charges increase.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily consist of: (i) salaries and benefits for our administrative personnel; (ii) depreciation and amortization expenses relating to our property, plant and equipment and leased properties used for administrative purposes; (iii) office expenses, represents expenses for office supplies and consumables; (iv) agent and professional fees related to our proposed initial public offering in the U.S.; and (v) other expenses, which primarily include utilities, traveling, repair and maintenance, rental and other miscellaneous expenses for administrative purposes.

Our general and administrative expenses increased by 17.5%, or US$0.58 million, from US$3.32 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$3.90 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, which was primarily attributable to an increase of US$0.55 million in agent and professional fees related to our proposed initial public offering in the U.S.

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses

Research and development expenses primarily include (i) costs of materials and components for the research and development activities; (ii) salaries, welfare and insurance expenses paid to R&D employees; and (iii) manufacturing expenses for producing samples related to our research and development activities.

Our research and development expenses increased by 30.8%, or US$0.26 million from US$0.83 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$1.08 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, which was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries for R&D employees of US$0.35 million as we increased our early R&D activities like performing feasibility studies with budgetary proposals for new projects and preparing proposals and related presentations to our potential customers from Electronica trade fair in Munich, Germany in November 2022; partially offset by a decrease in materials and components consumption for the research and development activities of US$0.12 million, because we focused on product iteration and upgrading of existing products to fulfill our major customers’ demands in first 9 months of fiscal year 2023 and we did not increase our materials and components consumption since it is in the early stage for the new product development for our potential customers. We expect to continue to devote substantial resources in our research and development to further our competitiveness, even though such strategy might impact our profitability in the event we experience a market downturn.

Other income

Other income, primarily consists of: (i) government subsidy for providing time-limited financial support to pay staff salaries, due to the COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) non-recurring engineering charge paid by customers; (iii) other non-operating income, inclusive of overtime expense compensation and material enhancement compensation paid by customers for early delivery orders; and (iv) financial and interest income (loss), inclusive of gains or losses on exchange rate fluctuations, interest income and interest expenses.

Other income increased by US$0.47 million from US$0.23 million in fiscal year 2022 to US$0.70 million in fiscal year 2023, which was primarily attributable to an increase in foreign exchange gain of US$0.76 million due to the appreciation of U.S.dollar; partially offset by a decrease of US$0.28 million non-recurring engineering charge paid by customers , due to less temporary demand from customers as the impact of the supply chain disruptions fade.

earned by CCSC Interconnect NL, and the remaining profits will be taxed at the existing 25.8% tax rate in 2023 and 2022. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, CCSC Interconnect NL was not subject to any income tax as it had no taxable income during these periods.

Mainland China

Generally, our PRC subsidiary, CCSC Interconnect DG, is subject to enterprise income tax on its taxable income in China at a statutory rate of 25%; however, since CCSC Interconnect DG is certified as a National High Tech Enterprise, it is eligible for a preferential enterprise income tax rate of 15%. The enterprise income tax is calculated based on the entity’s global income, as determined under the PRC laws and accounting standards.

Our products are primarily subject to value-added tax at a rate of 13% on sales, in each case less any deductible value-added tax we have already paid or borne. We are also subject to surcharges on value-added tax payments in accordance with PRC laws.

Dividends paid by our PRC subsidiary in China to our Hong Kong subsidiary, CCSC Technology Group, will be subject to a withholding tax rate of 10%, unless the relevant Hong Kong entity satisfies all the requirements under the Double Taxation Avoidance Arrangement and receives approval from the relevant tax authority. If CCSC Technology Group satisfies all the requirements under the tax arrangement and receives approval from the relevant tax authority, then the dividends paid to the Hong Kong subsidiary would be subject to withholding tax at the standard rate of 5%. Effective from November 1, 2015, the above-mentioned approval requirement was abolished, but a Hong Kong entity is still required to file an application package with the relevant tax authority, and settle the overdue taxes if the preferential 5% tax rate is denied based on the subsequent review of the application package by the relevant tax authority.

If we or any of our subsidiaries outside of China were deemed to be a “resident enterprise” under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, the affected entity would be subject to enterprise income tax on its worldwide income at a rate of 25%.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and the Notice on Improvements to Policies of Weighted Pre-tax Deduction of Research and Development Expenses, research and development expenses incurred by an enterprise in the course of carrying out research and development activities that have not formed intangible assets are included in the profit and loss account for the current year. Starting from January 1, 2021, besides deducting the actual amount of research and development expenses incurred, an enterprise is allowed an additional 100% deduction of the amount in calculating its taxable income for the relevant year, the rate of which was 75% before 2021. For R&D expenses that have formed intangible assets, the tax amortization is based on 200% of the costs of the intangible assets.

Our income tax expenses decreased by 30.5%, from US$0.40 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$0.28 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, which was due to the decrease in the taxable income of CCSC Interconnect HK in fiscal year 2023.

Net Income

As a result of the foregoing, our net income slightly decreased by 3.5%, or US$0.08 million from US$2.29 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 to US$2.21 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2023, we had US$7.72 million in cash and restricted cash, which consisted of (i) cash in mainland China of US$4.58 million; (ii) cash in HK of US$3.11 million; and (iii) cash and restricted cash in the Netherlands of US$0.03 million. Under PRC laws, RMB can be converted into U.S. dollars under the company’s “current account” (including dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions), rather than the “capital account” (including foreign direct investments and loans, without the prior approval of the SAFE). Payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments, and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior SAFE approval by complying with certain procedural requirements.

We fund our operations mainly from cash generated from our operations and through debt financing. We generated US$3.46 million and US$2.92 million in cash from operating activities for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cash from operating activities was primarily attributable to the increase of operating assets

and liabilities of US$0.91 million, increase of change in inventory reserve of US$0.25 million and the decrease of foreign currency exchange losses of US$0.76 million. Most of our cash resources were used to pay for the procurement of components, purchase of equipment and property, and payroll and rental expenses.

Accounts receivable amounted to US$2.26 million and US$2.88 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. All of the accounts receivable balances at March 31, 2023 and 2022 have been fully collected as of the date of this prospectus.

As of March 31, 2023, we had a total inventory balance of US$2.19 million, which primarily included raw material of US$1.42 million, to ensure sufficient raw materials were available to meet our production needs, and inventory in transit of US$0.49 million. The inventory in transit has since been fully settled when the customer received the products in the subsequent period.

As of March 31, 2022, we had balances due from related parties of US$0.48 million, representing cash advances paid to our shareholders and an affiliated entity controlled by them. These advances were made in prior years and we fully collected such balance by June 2022. There was no such balance as of March 31, 2023. The Company does not have any intention to make further cash advances to any related party in the future.

As of March 31, 2023, we had a long-term loan of US$0.04 million. These loans were borrowed from a bank in Hong Kong for working capital purpose. The long-term loan has been subsequently settled as of the date of this prospectus. We expect that we will be able to renew all of our existing bank loans upon their maturity or borrow additional new loans from financial institutions based on past experience and our good credit history.

As of March 31, 2023, we had working capital of US$10.07 million, as compared to working capital of US$8.70 million as of March 31, 2022. We believe that our current cash and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt repayment obligations for at least the next 12 months following the date our consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023 were released.

Operating lease obligations consist of leases in relation to certain offices and buildings, plants and other property for our sales.

On September 1, 2022, the Company renewed leased plants with an original lease term expired on August 31, 2022 and extended the lease term for another five years to August, 2027. The renewed lease caused the increased operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, which was disclosed in Note 9 in our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Other than those shown above, we did not have any significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations, or guarantees as of March 31, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financial guarantees or other off-balance sheet commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated

entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.

Risks and Uncertainties

Our headquarters and sales office is located in HK, while we conduct the manufacturing of interconnect products through our PRC subsidiary located in mainland China. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, all of our revenue was generated by our HK and PRC subsidiaries collectively. As such, our business, financial condition, and results of operations are subject to risks and uncertainties relating to political, economic, and legal environments in HK and mainland China, as well as the general state of the economy of HK and mainland China. Our financial results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in HK and mainland China.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations may also be negatively impacted by risks related to regional wars, geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics and other catastrophic incidents. Our operations may be further affected by the ongoing outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and China’s zero-tolerance COVID-19 policy. The Company’s operating results and financial performance for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and a resurgence could potentially cause a temporary closure of the Company’s factory, limited support from its employees due to quarantine, reduce the our capability to execute customer contracts and collect customer payments, or disrupt the our supply chain, and the continued uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may further negatively impact the Company’s future revenue growth and cash flows. The uncertainties associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war may cause our future revenue and cash flows to underperform in the next 12 months, due to significant increases in raw material prices and disruptions of the global supply chain. Any potential impact to the Company’s operating results will depend, to a large extent, on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the actions taken by government authorities to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the new development of the Russia-Ukraine war, all of which are beyond the Company’s control and cannot be reasonably predicted as of the date of this prospectus.

The following critical accounting policies rely upon assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Critical Accounting Estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the US GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates required to be made by management include, but are not limited to, the allowance for estimated uncollectible receivables, inventory valuations, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, the recoverability of long-lived assets, provision necessary for contingent liabilities and realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimated allowance for doubtful accounts

We review the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and make general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. We determine the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no allowances for doubtful accounts recorded, as we consider all of the outstanding accounts receivable fully collectible.

Estimated allowance for inventories shrinkage and obsolete or unusable inventory

The estimated allowance for inventory obsolescence reserves is based on our assessment of realization of inventory. Any excess of the cost over the realizable value of each items of inventories is recognized as a provision for diminution in the value of inventories. We review our inventories periodically if any reserves are necessary for potential shrinkage and obsolete or unusable inventory. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $274,557 and $685,301 of written down of inventories from the carrying amount to their net realizable values.

64

Table of Contents

Estimated useful livers of long-lived assets

The judgment that the long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are being amortized over their useful lives and are not impaired are significant accounting estimates. We have estimated the useful life and residual value and concluded that no impairment loss was recognized as of March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Estimate of the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets

We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue recognition

ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, we perform the following five steps:

Step 1:    Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2:    Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3:    Determine the transaction price

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

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

Our revenue recognition policies effective on the adoption date of ASC 606 are as presented below.

We manufacture and sell interconnect products, including connectors, cables and wire harnesses, to our customers.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, we recognize and account for the revenue generated from sales of our products to customers revenue when we transfer our goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in such exchanges. We account for the revenue generated from sales of products to our customers on a gross basis, because we are acting as a principal in these transactions, are subject to inventory risk, have latitude in establishing prices, and are responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide customers the specific products. All of our contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer the specific products to customers, and there are no other separately identifiable promises in the contracts.

Our revenue is recognized at a point in time when title of goods and risk of loss are passed to our customers, which generally occurs at delivery. Our products are sold with no right of return (except for defective products), and we do not provide credits or sales incentives to customers. Our sales are net of value added tax (“VAT”) and business tax and surcharges collected on behalf of tax authorities in respect of product sales.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate our revenue from contracts by product category and geographic regions, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Accounts Receivable, net

Accounts receivable represent the amounts that we have an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivables. We review the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and make general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. We usually determine the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. We establish a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that we may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no allowances for doubtful accounts recorded, as the Company considers all of the outstanding accounts receivable fully collectible.

Inventories, net

Inventories, primarily consisting of raw materials, semi-finished goods and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. We review our inventories periodically if any reserves are necessary for potential shrinkage and obsolete or unusable inventory. As of March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $274,557 and $685,301 of written down of inventories from the carrying amount to their net realizable values.

Impairment of long-lived assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, we measure impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, we would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows. No impairments of long-lived assets were recognized as of March 31, 2023 and 2022.

66

Table of Contents

Contract assets and liabilities

We did not have contract assets as of March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Our contract liabilities primarily relate to unsatisfied performance obligations when payment has been received from customers before our products are delivered, and are recorded as “advance from customers” on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs of fulfilling customers’ purchase orders, such as shipping, handling and delivery, which occur prior to the transfer of control, are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense when incurred. Advances from customers amounted to $186,874 and $75,374 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenue included in the beginning balance of advances from customers and recognized in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $75,374 and $167,824, respectively. A substantial portion of the balance of advances from customers as of March 31, 2023 has been subsequently recognized as revenue when we delivered the products to our customers.

Income taxes

The provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribe a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and related disclosures. We believe there were no uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Our PRC subsidiary is subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB100 ($15). In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is 10 years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion.

Our subsidiaries in Hong Kong are subject to examination by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (the “HKIRD”), if the HKIRD has doubts regarding the source of income, the completeness or accuracy of the tax returns filed by the taxpayers. According to the Inland Revenue Ordinance, taxpayers are required to keep sufficient records of income and expenditure for a period not less than 7 years to enable the assessable profits to be readily ascertained.

As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, all of the Company’s tax returns of its PRC and Hong Kong subsidiaries remain open for statutory examination by PRC and Hong Kong tax authorities.

We account for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

All the information and data presented in this section have been derived from Frost & Sullivan Limited (“Frost & Sullivan”)’s industry report commissioned by us entitled “The Interconnect Product Market Independent Market Research” (the “Frost & Sullivan Report”) unless otherwise noted. Frost & Sullivan has advised us that the statistical and graphical information contained herein is drawn from its database and other sources. The following discussion contains projections for future growth, which may not occur at the rates that are projected or at all.

OVERVIEW OF GLOBAL INTERCONNECT PRODUCT MARKET

Interconnect Products

An interconnect product forms a physical or logical connection between two electronic devices or networks. Connectors, cables, and wire harnesses are interconnect products.

A connector is an electromechanical device used to join electrical conductors and create an electrical circuit. It bridges the communication between blocked or isolated electrical circuits so that the current flows and the electrical circuit may achieve its intended function. A typical connector is usually composed of three parts: a plastic body, a plastic shell, and metal terminals. Connectors are widely applied in various industrial sectors, including automobiles, telecommunications, electronic products, industrial manufacturing, healthcare, aerospace and defense.

Cables and wire harnesses are devices used to transmit electric or magnetic energy, exchange information, generate electromagnetic energy conversion, and form automated control route. Cables and wire harnesses have similar structures, except that wire harnesses have no outer sheaths and are mainly composed of conductors and insulators. Cables, on the other hand, are mainly composed of conductors, insulators, and additional outer sheathes, which provide extra protections against external elements. Conductors are generally made of copper, silver, gold and aluminum insulators and outer sheathes are generally made of synthetic materials, such as rubber, polyethylene, and polyvinyl chloride.

Industry Value Chain

The global interconnect product market participants include: (1) upstream raw material suppliers that provide metal, construction, electroplating and plastic material, (2) midstream manufacturing companies that go through surface treatment, electroplating processing, fabrication, assembly, and testing, and (3) downstream end users of various industries as well as electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers.

Market Drivers Analysis

Growing demand in automotive sector:    The interconnect product market is driven by the growing demand of infotainment and safety systems in the automotive sector and rising disposable incomes in emerging and developed countries. Due to the higher degree of electrification in electrical vehicles, the demand of interconnect products in electrical vehicles is much higher than that in traditional vehicles. Moreover, vehicles nowadays are more digitalized and equipped with heavy electronic components to control critical systems, including airbags, GPS navigation, entertainment functions, etc. As the number of sensors and controllers in automobiles increases rapidly, the demand for interconnect products connecting various electronic devices in automobiles displays an upward trend.

Surge in demand for high-frequency interconnect products:    The shift towards wireless networks such as satellite communications, especially with the rise of 5G, has seen a growing trend in the development of high-frequency electronic devices. Interconnect products applied to wireless networks can be widely applied in various telecommunications settings, undertaking processes of signal and data transmission in base stations, communication antennas, and other equipment. The surge in data transmission drives the increase in telecommunication devices that further stimulates the growth of the interconnect product market. The increased needs for data transmission also raise requirements for interconnect products’ functions, including having low DK (dielectric constant) materials for higher frequency PCBs that prevent delays in signal transmission.

Digitization of interconnect product:    As the downstream applications of the interconnect product market shift towards a higher level of digitization, interconnect products are required to be digitized in order to meet the demand. For instance, in the automotive sector, electrical vehicles and autopilot vehicles embed various functions across autonomous driving, AI-functioned entertainment, and personalized experience. Digitized vehicles further stimulate and escalate the demand and development of digitized interconnect products, especially those with functions to monitor electronics, to permit the prompt detection of problems and provide feedback in order to reduce maintenance work.

Mobility in the military and defense sectors:    Defense and military industries are increasingly demanding higher and more sophisticated mobility. This requires rapid connectivity for autonomous robots, as well as, rescue, and recreational equipment. In order to achieve effective mobile troop technology, there is an increasing demand for miniature electronic sensors, detectors, transmitters, and rugged wiring that are specifically designed to work in the active battlefield under high shock, vibration, and extreme environmental exposures.

Market Challenges Analysis

Talent shortage:    Interconnect product production is a precise manufacturing process, especially in the interconnect product design and production process, in which the complexity to integrate mold designing, stamping, injection molding, and other processes require sophisticated and advanced skills. Interconnect products need to meet the requirements of requests of downstream applications. Talents to enter the interconnect product field should continuously engage in training, in order to meet such requirements.

Price volatility of raw materials:    Price volatility of raw materials, such as bronze, copper, and aluminium, that are the main raw materials of cables, wire harnesses, and connectors, may directly affect the revenue stream of midstream manufacturers in the interconnect product market, especially when these raw materials account of over half of the production cost of cables and wire harnesses. Once the prices of metals increase, such increases may adversely affect cash flow and cause financial strain on many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the midstream manufacturing sector. Price increase in raw materials may increase the prices of interconnect products accordingly. The price volatility may also differ in different countries because of different macro-environment and policies. The prices may be widely affected by policies such as decarbonisation, which limit the supply of raw materials and production of interconnect product accordingly. As a result, the growing demand for interconnect products from the downstream industries would contribute to the rise of raw material prices. However, it is a challenge and constraint for all midstream manufacturers across the globe to manage risks of price volatility of raw materials caused by external factors.

As a major production and export country of electronic products, the supply chain of electronic components in the PRC has been well developed, where upstream raw material producers and various midstream manufacturers are often located in each other’s proximately, which allows close collaboration and reduced logistics costs. To attain better allocation of resources, brand owners have increasingly outsourced the design and manufacturing of interconnect products to OEMs and ODMs. In turn, interconnect product OEMs and ODMs are expected to continuously serve as major stakeholders in the supply chain.

Favorable Government Policies in the PRC:    In recent years, the PRC government has devoted substantial efforts and promulgated development directions underpinning the domestic electronics manufacturing industry in view of the accelerated demand and production volume. In terms of monetary policy, the PRC government has set out mitigation plans to reduce operational costs of electronics manufacturers, through provisions of tax relief and preferential financing assistance. Further, the “Information Industry Development Guide” published by the PRC government in 2017 placed strong emphasis on research and development of intelligent hardware, communication equipment, big data, cloud computing and Internet of Things, all of which require interconnect products as essential components. The “Proposals of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Formulating the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-term Goals for 2035” by the PRC Government provided directions are to strengthen technology research and development to achieve an advanced industrial production chain in the PRC. In turn, the demand for interconnect product manufacturing services is expected to grow continuously with the support of favorable government policies.

Innovative and Automated Production:    An increasing amount of interconnect product manufacturers are implementing the “Made in China 2025” production initiatives promulgated by the State Council of the PRC in 2015 to leverage robotics and computerized machineries to implement automation with an aim to lowering labor costs, alleviating operational risk, and enhancing inventory management. Predictive maintenance technology coupled with Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) systems are introduced by manufacturers to monitor the state of equipment, inventory level and utilization rate. Further, the rise of business-to-business online marketplace transactions are expected to lower procurement and logistics costs between upstream suppliers and downstream brand owners with information transparency. As such, the integration of automation and informalisation into the supply chain is expected to alleviate the cost burden of manual efforts to achieve a greater allocation of manpower resources.

Key Opportunities in Products and Markets

Informalisation and Heightened Standards of Interconnect Products:    In the downstream electronics market, it is increasingly commonplace for devices and apparatuses to establish high-speed (e.g. 5G networks) wireless interconnectivity to achieve Internet of Things (IoT) and capture mass information for the benefit of machine learning and big data analytics. Interconnect products are integral elements that enable devices to collect and exchange data and be remotely controlled and monitored. The implementation of digitalization and deployment of networking infrastructure is providing opportunities for interconnect products to raise standards, including higher speed and higher frequency performance, reduced form factors, improved robustness and reliability, and resistance against electromagnetic interference.

The developing trend toward innovation has driven interconnect product manufacturers to constantly meet refined demands for cost, performance, and compliance features.

Market Trends

Rising Solution Customization:    During the last several decades, the proliferation of the OEM model was primarily attributable to the economy of scale and lower-cost of production per unit. In view of the requirements of specialized technologies, it is increasingly commonplace for end users to seek customized products and services and end users are willing to pay a premium for products and services that meet their specific business needs. The shift towards customization gives rise to manufacturers that provide the design for manufacturability (“DFM”) services and ODM based models, where customer expectations are managed with flexibility, versatility and responsive services. Interconnect product manufacturers in the PRC are increasingly improve their capabilities in adapting design modifications and foreseeing challenges during mass manufacturing to ensure compatibility with the desired end products.

Adoption of lean management:    A lean management approach helps manufacturers minimize waste, conserve valuable materials, and revamp work plans to reduce the cost of inefficiency during manufacturing, as well as to achieve optimized inventory of materials and tools. The approach also encourages collaboration among stakeholders such as suppliers to create e effective work plans and perform risk analysis during the pre-production stage, which promotes higher production efficiency and safety in the manufacturing industry. The incorporation of data-based resources management system in recent years has also been conducive in decision making, identifying root causes and propel continuous improvement in lean management.

Market Threats and Risk Analysis

Rising Operational Costs:    Labor and raw material are the two major cost components. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC, the profitability of enterprises in the electronics industry has declined from 9.1% in 2018 to 4.8% in 2022. The decline was attributable to the rising labor costs, as well as a surge in prices of raw materials and components, which is expected to put additional burden on industry participants.

Shortage of Professionals:    In view of the advancement in technology and increasing demand for solution customizations, professionals who are capable of designing, modelling and implementation to accommodate the customers’ demand throughout the product development stage, are essential resources. However, there is a lack of training programs and academies that educates related personnel to participate in high-end design and development services. As such, the shortage of professionals may hinder the development of the industry.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic:    During 2020 to 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic caused temporary disruption to the business operations of interconnect product OEM/ODMs and their customers across key industries. Temporary suspension of non-essential workplace activities as part of the containment measures delayed raw material supply from upstream and shipment of semi-finished or finished products to overseas customers, and increased operational risk in relation to currencies, logistics costs and delayed scheduling. In particular, ocean cargo carriers cancelled multiple routes on account of the social distancing policies, the abrupt reduction in cargo capacity pushed the spot rates up by 25-40% in some flight routes compared to 2019. In the next few years, the impact of COVID-19 is expected to be mitigated gradually we are expecting and the resumption of normal manufacturing schedule throughout the supply chain. Logistics, warehousing and innovative industries in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area are supported by technologies like Internet of Things and robotics, which is expected to help improve process efficiency and ultimately reduce cost and enhance logistics.

Impact of the U.S.- China Trade War:    Since July 2018, the U.S. government has imposed tariffs ranging from approximately 10% to 25% on certain products, including electronics products, of the PRC, while the PRC imposed similar counter-measures to impose tariffs on products imported from the U.S. The imposition of tariffs has reduced the overall demand for interconnect products in the PRC from influential brand owners in the U.S. The U.S. has also minimized the transfer of intellectual property and technology to the PRC, resulting in a diminished exchange of professional knowledge. Besides, the shift of electronics and interconnect product production from China to other Asian countries has been accelerated by the trade dispute. Considering the increasing level of economic volatility, governments may increasingly turn to trade barriers, including imposing tariffs and non-tariff barriers to trade, to protect their domestic industries against foreign imports. The weakening of the bilateral trading system between U.S. and the PRC may cause an increase in (i) the cost of goods exported to the U.S., (ii) the length of time required to transport goods, and (iii) the operational risks associated with exporting goods, thereby depressing demand.

Impact of the Recent Trade Conflict and Trade Agreements:    Introduced in 1978, the Generalised Scheme of Preferences (“GSP”) came into effect to remove import duties from products coming into the EU market from developing countries including the PRC. On October 2021, the PRC government announced that 32 countries removed the PRC from their trade preference lists of recipients of duty-free tariff treatment in view of the expedited development progress of the PRC. The policy has adversely impacted the cost in relation to exports of various commodities including electronic products such as interconnector, lowering the trading activities on respective products between the PRC and the countries involved. The 32 countries involved include major export destinations of interconnect products in Europe, such as Germany. On the other hand, the impact may also be alleviated as the PRC entered into the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (“RCEP”) with Asia Pacific countries such as Vietnam, South Korea and Japan in the late 2020, eliminating gradually tariff and non-tariff barriers during trading activities. With the two events taken place, it is expected that interconnect export originated from the PRC would be partly diverted to South East Asia countries to fulfill the demand for further assemblies in these countries and their internal demand in view of the development of manufacturing industry in these countries.

Raw Material and Component Cost Analysis

From 2017 to 2021, labor cost in the manufacturing industry in the PRC has inflated steadily. In particular, the average monthly wage of production and equipment operators, professional technicians and managerial staff has recorded CAGRs of approximately 7.4%, 9.0% and 7.4%, respectively. The increasing labor cost is attributable to increasing demand for skilled labor and the steadily growing cost of living in China. Going forward, the average monthly wage of employed persons in the manufacturing industry, including production and equipment operators, professional technicians and managerial staff are expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2%, 6.9% and 6.3%, respectively from 2023 to 2027.

Cables and wire harnesses have similar structures, except that wire harnesses have no outer sheaths and are mainly composed of conductors and insulators. Cables, on the other hand, are mainly composed of conductors, insulators, and additional outer sheathes, which provide extra protections against external elements.

We manufacture varieties of cables and wire harnesses for applications in products in various industries. A number of our cables and wire harnesses are custom designed based on technical requirements for specific applications in different industries. The below table illustrates some of our cable and wire harness products and their applications.

For more than 20 years, we have strived to offer quality products at competitive prices. Our customer-oriented approach has helped us establish close working relationships with many of our customers. These relationships allow us to better anticipate and respond to customer needs when designing new products and new technical solutions. By working with customers in developing new products and technologies, we are able to identify and act on trends across our portfolio of products. In addition, we continuously invest on service, procurement and manufacturing improvements designed to increase product quality and performance and lower production lead-time and cost. For example, in 2016, in order to better service our growing customer base in Europe, we established CCSC Netherlands, our European logistic and service hub.

Our customers include both manufacturing companies and electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) companies, who procure and assemble products on behalf of manufacture companies. Additionally, a tiny fraction, or less than 1% of our sales for the fiscal years 2023 and 2022, was attributed to dealers who resell our products to manufacturing companies. For fiscal year 2023, aggregate sales to three customers accounted for approximately 12.0%, 10.6% and 10.5% of our total sales, respectively. For fiscal year 2022, aggregate sales to one customer accounted for approximately 15.5% of our total sales.

Manufacturing

We design, manufacture and assemble our products at our Dongguan factory located in Guangdong province, China. Currently, almost all of our products are manufactured in-house, while a minimal quantity, or less than 1% of our total output, is outsourced to third-party contract manufacturers located in Guangdong, China. We impose stringent standards on quality control, technical and managerial capabilities of our subcontractors to ensure the quality of the final products. The Company’s manufacturing process is vertically-integrated from the initial design stage through final production, and employs the following manufacturing processes: molding, wire cutting, stripping/crimping/termination, assembly (including surface mounting), and soldering.

Each completed product is tested for functionality with the aid of a test board, such as programmable or universal cable/harness tester, which is pre-programmed with the required electrical characteristics for the specific product. The completed products can be plugged into the test board and tested individually or in multiple numbers. We also test each completed product for resistance and insulation use testing machines.

Our management believes that maintaining objectively verifiable quality standards fosters consumer confidence and loyalty. In a continuous effort to meet various international production and quality manufacturing standards, CCSC Interconnect DG has been certified under the requirements of the ISO, specifically to the ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 13485 standards, as well as the IATF 16949. These qualifications demonstrate that high quality manufacturing standards are consistently applied to our production and management processes, and help us gain accesses to international markets.

Engineering and R&D

Our engineering team, led directly by our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Operation Officer (“COO”), has built a solid reputation with our customers by partnering with them every step of the way from initial concept and design to prototype and final production. As of the date of this prospectus, our engineering department has a total of 37 employees with extensive experiences in mechanical and electronic engineering, as well as product design and development. Our engineering team is responsible for research and development of new and improved products and processes, and generally implements its product development strategy through collaborative initiatives with customers, which often result in our obtaining approved vendor status for the customers’ new products.

Prior to the launch of a new product that requires our customized interconnect products, our customer generally provides us with an initial concept or blueprint and we will provide the customer a product development proposal in 1 to 2 months. After the customers accept our proposal, we will start our design and development process including tooling, sampling and testing process. The entire process of our design and development typically takes approximately 9 to 12 months, during which time our engineering team is responsible for the followings:

        performing feasibility studies with budgetary proposals for new projects;

        creating functional and structural design concepts based on specifications and technical requirements of customers;

        preparing proposals and related presentations to be reviewed and approved by customers;

        verifying design concepts and creating prototypes, and refining prototypes if required;

        defining project milestones and overseeing implementation of each project; and

        performing engineering validation tests, design validation tests, and production validation tests prior to final production.

Components, Raw Materials and Suppliers

We procure the following components for the manufacturing of our products: 1) Cable and plastics, including single wire, cable, insulation tube, standard connector, plastic fabricated part; 2) Metal parts, including metal shell, metal terminal, metal fabricated part; and 3) Electronic parts, including printed circuit board, LED, resistor, capacitor, transistor, inductor, thermistor, potentiometer, ferrite core, switch and semiconductor. These components do not require any raw materials that are scarce, and, in general, are readily available from a wide range of local and national sources. Most of our components do not require advanced or proprietary technology that may make it difficult for us to source, although some customers have required us to purchase certain components from their authorized vendors. Although we do not directly procure raw materials, our business depends on a stable supply of such raw materials such as copper, zinc, and aluminium that are required for the manufacture of our components.

Our components are mainly sourced from suppliers located in the PRC, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Europe. We select our suppliers based on many criteria, including, but not limited to: quality, production site, production process, delivery cycle, and price. As we have a variety of options for supplies, and the technical demand of preparing most of our main supplies are relatively low, we do not anticipate difficulties in obtaining supplies to produce our products. Accordingly, our agreements with our suppliers allow us to purchase our raw materials and components on a per purchase order basis. We have an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system that monitors and controls the stock level of components based on customer purchase orders and customer forecasts for the future orders. The prices for these components are nevertheless subject to market forces largely beyond our control, including energy costs, market demand, economy trends, and freight costs, and most importantly, the price of raw materials. The prices these components have fluctuated

84

Table of Contents

in the past, and may fluctuate significantly in the future, which could materially and adversely impact our business operations. For details, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — Increases in the price of raw materials could impact our ability to sustain and grow earnings.”

Our quality control system starts from procurement. Before entering into our production flow, the raw materials and components must be certified for quality. We also perform regular factory audits of our suppliers, quality reexaminations and unannounced inspections on raw materials to be used in the mass production flow. We review the performance of our suppliers based on the defective percentage of their supplies, and adjust amounts procured from them accordingly. Our supplier agreements usually contain a quality control clause, under which we may seek remedies against our suppliers, such as damages and rectification, in the event the supplies fall below the quality standards or exceed the minimum defective percentage.

The cost of the components constituted approximately 74.8% and 72.2% of the total cost of production for the fiscal years ended March 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

For the fiscal years ended March 30, 2023 and 2022, no supplier accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases.

Production Facility

We operate one manufacturing plant in Dongguan, Guangdong province, China, with 189,983 square feet in the aggregate. We have leased the plant since 1999 and renewed the term every 3 years; the current term is from September 2022 to August 2027. We own all of the equipment and machinery such as computerized vertical injection machine, low pressure injection machine, automatic cable cutting & stripping machine, automatic wire printing machine, automatic crimping machine, automatic soldering machine, automatic sealing machine, laser welding machine, laser engrave machine, automatic wire twisting machine, automatic cable winding machine, automatic shrink film packing machine, PCBA de-panel machine at our factory, which were valued at approximately $0.02 million as of March 31, 2023, net of depreciation costs. We focus on best practices in quality control and employee safety. For quality control and testing, we have fatigue testing machines, automatic wire sequence tester, automatic optical inspection machine, automatic cable flexing machine, hi-lo temperature chamber, salt spray tester, UV accelerated weathering tester, tensile tester, pull tester, connector insertion force & reliability tester, gold-plating thickness tester, spectrometer, cable functional & continuity tester, hi-pot tester, spectrophotometer, led color spectrum tester, ipx6 water jetting test chamber, high resolution electronic microscope. We routinely use our in-house information management system to record and track quality control data.

Warranty Policy

We offer general product warranty for durations ranging from 1 to 2 years based on the products and their end applications. For example, we provide 1 year warranty for cables and wire harnesses for robotic arms, and a 2-year warranty for cables and wire harnesses for air ventilators. Since we implement strict quality control procedures, we have not incurred significant warranty costs. Our warranty cost for each of the fiscal years 2023 and 2022 was $0.

Sales and Marketing

We believe the best marketing is through: (1) making quality products that consistently meet and exceed customer expectations, and (2) providing excellent customer services to establish long-term relationships with satisfied customers. We have a dedicated sales team with 16 employees working from our Hong Kong and PRC office. We market our products through direct marketing efforts, including running advertising and promotions on our website, sending informational and promotional emails to potential customers, distributing advertisement materials through the mail, as well as benefitting from customer referrals. Additionally, since 2006, we have been attending and successfully recruiting new customers at the Electronica trade fair for the electronics industry held in Munich, Germany. We plan to recruit more qualified sales executives and staff, and attend more exhibitions and trade fairs to promote our products and grow our sales.

Competition

We complete in an industry that is highly competitive and fast-changing with new technologies and evolving market trends. We have competitors that manufacture products similar to ours, and some of these companies may have more assets, resources and a larger market share than ours. However, we believe that our industrial reputation, continuous marketing efforts and effective quality control enable us to compete effectively against our competitors.

Intellectual Property

Protection of our intellectual property is a strategic priority for our business. We rely on a combination of patent, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality agreements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights.

CCSC Interconnect DG owns a portfolio of intellectual property, including 68 patents registered with the Chinese intellectual property agency, confidential technical information and technological expertise in manufacturing interconnect products. Of the 68 patents, 8 are invention patents, which were granted to CCSC Interconnect DG in the years between 2013 and 2016, each for a duration of 20 years, commencing from the date of application and the other 60 are utility models, which were granted to CCSC Interconnect DG in the years between 2014 and 2023, each for a duration of 10 years. We do not foresee any material impact on our business when they expire in the future, the earliest of which will be on March 3, 2024.

CCSC Interconnect HK was granted an irrevocable exclusive license to use two trademarks by a company held by one of its shareholders for a term of ten years commencing from June 1, 2020. These trademarks are registered with the Trade Marks Registry, Intellectual Property Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC.

We believe that our intellectual property rights, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions are adequate for our business operations. While we value our intellectual properties and related assets, we do not believe that our market position and competitiveness are heavily dependent on them, or that our operations are dependent upon any single patent or group of related patents to manufacture our products. We review third-party proprietary rights, including patents and patent applications, as available, in an effort to develop effective intellectual property strategies, avoid infringement of third-party proprietary rights, identify licensing opportunities and monitor the intellectual property claims of others. We nevertheless face intellectual property-related risks. For more information on these risks, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — Our success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property.”

Seasonality

We have not experienced, and do not expect to experience, any seasonal fluctuations in our results of operations for business.

Insurance

We maintain certain insurance policies to safeguard against risks and unexpected events. CCSC Interconnect DG provides social security insurance including pension insurance, unemployment insurance, work-related injury insurance and medical insurance for its employees. CCSC Interconnect DG also maintains property insurance for fixed assets and inventories. CCSC Interconnect DG is not required to maintain key man insurance, business interruption insurance or product liability insurance under PRC laws and only provides product liability insurance to certain customers on a case by case basis. During the fiscal years 2023 and 2022, we did not file any material insurance claims in relation to our businesses.

REGULATION

This section sets forth a summary of applicable laws, rules, regulations, government and industry policies and requirements that have a significant impact on our operations and business. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of all laws and regulations, which apply to our business and operations. Investors should note that the following summary is based on relevant laws and regulations in force as of the date of this prospectus, which may be subject to change.

Our business is predominantly conducted by our subsidiaries in mainland China and Hong Kong. Hong Kong was established as a special administrative region of the PRC in accordance with Article 31 of the Constitution of the PRC. The Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (the “Basic Law”) was adopted and promulgated on April 4, 1990 and became effective on July 1, 1997, when the PRC resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Basic Law, Hong Kong is authorized by the National People’s Congress of the PRC to exercise a high degree of autonomy and enjoy executive, legislative and independent judicial power, under the principle of “one country, two systems”; furthermore, the laws previously in force in Hong Kong, that is, the common law, rules of equity, ordinances, subordinate legislation and customary law, shall be maintained, except for any that contravene the Basic Law and are subject to any amendment by the legislature of Hong Kong, and the national laws of the PRC shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those that relating to defense, foreign affairs and other matters that are not outside the limits of the autonomy of Hong Kong as specified by the Basic Law, which are listed under Annex III to the Basic Law.

OVERVIEW OF THE PRC LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Our PRC subsidiary, CCSC Interconnect DG, engages in the development, manufacturing and sales of interconnect products in mainland China and is subject to relevant PRC laws and regulations. This section sets forth a summary of the principal PRC laws and regulations that are applicable to our business operations in mainland China.

Regulations Relating to Foreign Investment

The Market Entrance Rules for Foreign Investment

Market entrance for investment activities in mainland China by foreign investors is mainly governed by the Guidance Catalogue of Encouraged Industries for Foreign Investment (2020 Version), or the Catalogue, which was promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce, or the MOFCOM, and the National Development and Reform Commission, or the NDRC, on December 27, 2020, and became effective on January 27, 2021, and the Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for the Entrance of Foreign Investment (2021 Version), or the Negative List, which was promulgated by the MOFCOM and the NDRC on December 27, 2021 and became effective on January 1, 2022. The Catalogue lists the encouraged industries for foreign investment, and the Negative List identifies the prohibited and restricted industries for foreign investment. If the investment falls within an “encouraged” category in the Catalogue, such foreign investment can be conducted through the establishment of a wholly foreign-owned enterprise. If the investment falls within the “restricted” category on the Negative List, such foreign investment may be conducted through the establishment of a joint venture enterprise, with varying minimum shareholdings for the mainland China party, depending on the particular industry. If the investment falls within a “prohibited” category on the Negative List, no foreign investment of any kind is allowed. Any investment that occurs within an industry not falling into any of three categories mentioned above is classified as a permitted industry for foreign investment.

CCSC Interconnect DG currently engages in the design, manufacture, and sale of interconnect product businesses, which activities do not fall within any restricted or prohibited category on the Negative List.

The Foreign Investment Law

On March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress approved the Foreign Investment Law, which took effect on January 1, 2020 and replaced the three governing laws on foreign investments in mainland China, namely, the PRC Sino-foreign Equity Joint Ventures Law, the PRC Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprises Law and the PRC Wholly Foreign-owned Enterprises Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations. The Regulations for the Implementation of the Foreign Investment Law, which were promulgated by the State Council on December 26, 2019, and became effective on January 1, 2020, further clarified and elaborated the relevant provisions of the Foreign Investment Law. The Foreign Investment Law and its Implementation Rules embody an expected PRC regulatory trend to rationalize its foreign investment regulatory regime in line with prevailing international practice and the legislative

88

Table of Contents

efforts to unify the corporate legal requirements for both foreign and domestic invested enterprises in mainland China, and establish the basic framework for the access of, and the promotion, protection and administration of foreign investments in view of investment protection and fair competition.

Pursuant to the Foreign Investment Law, “foreign investment” refers to investment activities directly or indirectly conducted by one or more natural persons, business entities, or otherwise organizations of a foreign country (collectively referred to as “foreign investor”) within mainland China, and the investment activities include the following situations: (i) a foreign investor, individually or collectively with other investors, establishes a foreign-invested enterprise within mainland China; (ii) a foreign investor acquires stock shares, equity interest, shares in assets, or other equivalent rights and interests of an enterprise within mainland China; (iii) a foreign investor, individually or collectively with other investors, invests in a new project within mainland China; and (iv) investments in other means as provided by laws, administrative regulations, or the State Council.

The Foreign Investment Law grants national treatment to foreign invested enterprises, or FIEs, except for those FIEs that operate in industries deemed to be either “restricted” or “prohibited” in the Negative List. The Foreign Investment Law provides that FIEs operating in foreign restricted industries will require market entry clearance and other approvals from relevant PRC authorities. If a foreign investor is found to invest in any prohibited industry as stipulated in the Negative List, such foreign investor may be required to, among other things, cease its investment activities, dispose of its equity interests or assets within a prescribed time limit or have its income confiscated. If the investment activity of a foreign investor is in breach of any special administrative measure for restrictive access provided for in the Negative List, the relevant competent department shall order the foreign investor to make corrections within a prescribed time limit and take necessary measures to meet the requirements of the special administrative measure for restrictive access. Moreover, legal liability may be imposed if foreign investors were found to be in violation with the provisions for the access of foreign investment under the Negative List.

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

Furthermore, the Foreign Investment Law provides that FIEs established according to the previous PRC Sino-foreign Equity Joint Ventures Law, the PRC Sino-foreign Cooperative Enterprises Law and the PRC Wholly Foreign-owned Enterprises Law before the Foreign Investment Law was enacted may maintain their structure and corporate governance within five years commencing from January 1, 2020.

On December 30, 2019, the MOFCOM and the State Administration for Market Regulation (formerly known as the State Administration for Industry and Commerce) jointly promulgated the Measures for Reporting of Foreign Investment Information, or the Foreign Investment Reporting Measures, which came into effect on January 1, 2020 and replaced the Interim Administrative Measures for the Record-filing of the Establishment and Modification of Foreign-invested Enterprises. The Foreign Investment Reporting Measures establish an online reporting system for foreign investment instead of the previous requirement of the MOFCOM filing and/or approval procedures. Pursuant to the Foreign Investment Reporting Measures, for foreign investment carried out directly or indirectly within mainland China, foreign investors or FIEs shall submit investment information for establishments, modifications and dissolution and annual reports of the FIEs through the online reporting system.

On December 19, 2020, the NDRC and the MOFCOM promulgated the Measures for Security Review of Foreign Investment, which became effective on January 18, 2021, pursuant to which, security review shall be conducted if foreign investments affecting or likely to affect national security. The Foreign Investment Security Review Mechanism in charge of organization, coordination and guidance of foreign investment security review is thereunder established. A working mechanism office shall be established under the NDRC and led by the NDRC and the MOFCOM to undertake routine work on the security review of foreign investment. According to the Measures for Security Review of Foreign Investment, foreign investment activities falling within the scope such as important cultural products and

89

Table of Contents

services, important information technologies and Internet products and services, important financial services, key technologies and other important fields that concern national security while obtaining the ultimate control over the enterprise invested in, a foreign investor or a party concerned in the PRC shall take the initiative to make a declaration to the working mechanism office prior to making the investment.

The PRC Company Law

Pursuant to the PRC Company Law (2018 Revision), which was promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, or the SCNPC, on October 26, 2018 and became effective the same day, the establishment, operation and management of corporate entities in mainland China are governed by the PRC Company Law. Unless otherwise stipulated in the relevant laws on foreign investment, FIEs are also required to comply with the provisions of the PRC Company Law. The PRC Company Law defines two types of companies: limited liability companies and companies limited by shares, our PRC subsidiary, CCSC Interconnect DG, is a limited liability company and is subject to the PRC Company Law.

Regulations Relating to Environmental Protection

Pursuant to the Environmental Protection Law of the PRC issued on December 26, 1989, amended on April 24, 2014 and effective January 1, 2015, entities that cause environmental pollution and other public nuisances shall adopt effective measures to prevent the pollution of and hazards caused to the environment. Construction projects shall be equipped with constructional environmental protection facilities, which must be simultaneously designed, built and put into operation with the main part of the construction. Enterprises discharging pollutants must report to and register with the relevant authorities in accordance with the provisions of the competent environmental protection authority under the State Council. Enterprises and other producers and operators unlawfully discharging pollutants shall be fined and ordered to take corrective measures. For those refusing to make corrections, the competent authority may, starting from the day after the date of ordering correction, continuously impose daily fines based on the sum of the original fine. Enterprises and other producers and operators, which discharge pollutants exceeding the pollutant discharge standard or key pollutant gross discharge control thresholds, may be ordered by the competent environmental protection authority to take measures such as restricting production, suspending production and rectification. Serious cases may be reported to and approved by the competent government authority, resulting in orders of suspension or shutdown of operations.

Value-Added Tax (“VAT”)

Pursuant to the Interim Regulations on Value-added Tax of the PRC promulgated by the State Council on December 13, 1993 and were recently amended on November 19, 2017, and the Detailed Rules on the Implementation of Interim Regulation on Value-added Tax of the PRC promulgated by the Ministry of Finance, or the MOF, on December 25, 1993 and were recently amended on October 28, 2011, collectively the VAT Laws, all entities and individuals in mainland China engaging in the sales of goods, provision of processing services, repairs and replacement services, sales services, intangible assets, real estate and the importation of goods are required to pay VAT at the rate of 17%, unless otherwise stated.

Withholding Tax

Pursuant to the EIT Laws, except as otherwise provided by relevant tax treaties with the PRC government, dividends paid by foreign-invested enterprises to foreign investors which are non-resident enterprises and which have not established or operated premises in mainland China, or which have established or operated premises but where their income has no de facto relationship with such establishment or operation of premises shall be subject to a withholding tax of 10%. Pursuant to an Arrangement Between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Incomes, where the beneficial owner holding at least 25% of the equity interest of the foreign invested enterprise, the tax rate may be reduced to 5% when distributing dividends.

Moreover, according to the Circular on Issues Relating to “Beneficial Owner” in Tax Treaties, which was issued on February 3, 2018 by the SAT and took effect on April 1, 2018, a “beneficial owner” shall mean a person who has ownership and control over the income, and the rights and property from which the income is derived. When determining the applicant’s status of being a “beneficial owner” regarding tax treatments in connection with dividends, interests or royalties in the tax treaties, a comprehensive analysis shall be taken into account with the actual conditions of the specific case. In general, the following factors are unfavorable for the determination of “beneficial owner” status of an applicant: (i) the applicant is obligated to pay 50% or more of the income, within 12 months from its receipt, to a resident of a third country (region), where the term “obligated” includes agreed obligations and de facto payment for which there is no agreed obligation; (ii) the business activities undertaken by the applicant do not constitute substantive business activities; (iii) the treaty counterparty country (region) does not levy, or exempts tax on the relevant income, or levies tax but with a very low actual tax rate; (iv) in addition to the loan contract based on which interest is derived and paid, there exists other loans or deposit contracts between the creditor and the third party, of which factors such as the amount, interest rate and date of execution are similar; and (v) in addition to the transfer contract for rights to use such as copyright, patent, technology, from which the royalties are derived and paid, there exists other transfer contracts for rights to use or ownership in relation to copyright, patent, technology between the applicant and a third party.

Pursuant to the Notice on the Relevant Issues Concerning the Implementation of Dividend Clauses in Tax Treaties promulgated by the SAT and became effective on February 20, 2009, all of the following conditions shall be satisfied before the concession tax rate in a tax treaty can be enjoyed: (1) the tax resident obtaining dividends shall be restricted to the company as provided in the tax treaty; (2) among all the ownership equity interests and voting shares of the mainland China resident company, the proportion directly owned by the tax resident complies with the prescribed

94

Table of Contents

proportions under the tax treaty; and (3) the proportion of the equity interests of mainland China resident company directly owned by such tax resident complies with, at all times within the twelve months before obtaining the dividends, the proportions specified in the tax treaty.

Pursuant to the Announcement on Issuing the Administrative Measures for Entitlement to Treaty Benefits for Non-resident Taxpayers promulgated by the SAT on October 14, 2019 and became effective on January 1, 2020, entitlement to treaty benefits for non-resident taxpayers shall be handled by means of “self-judgment of eligibility, declaration of entitlement, and retention of relevant materials for future reference”. Where non-resident taxpayers judge by themselves that they meet the conditions for entitlement to treaty benefits, they may obtain such entitlement themselves at the time of making tax declarations, or at the time of making withholding declarations via withholding agents. At the same time, they shall collect and retain relevant materials for future reference in accordance with the provisions of these Measures, and shall accept the follow-up administration by the relevant tax authorities. Relevant materials proving the status of “beneficial owner” shall be retained in the case of entitlement to treaty benefits relating to dividend, interest and royalty.

Regulations Relating to Foreign Exchange

The principal regulations governing foreign currency exchange in mainland China are the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations, promulgated by the State Council in 1996 and most recently amended in 2008. Under the PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, such as profit distributions and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or the SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. By contrast, approval from or registration with appropriate governmental authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of mainland China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of foreign currency-denominated loans.

In November 2012, SAFE promulgated the Circular of Further Improving and Adjusting Foreign Exchange Administration Policies on Foreign Direct Investment, or the SAFE Circular 59, and was most recently amended in 2015, which substantially amends and simplifies the current foreign exchange procedures. Pursuant to the SAFE Circular 59, the opening of various special purpose foreign exchange accounts, such as pre-establishment expenses accounts, foreign exchange capital accounts, and guarantee accounts, the reinvestment of Renminbi proceeds derived by foreign investors in mainland China, and remittance of foreign exchange profits and dividends by a foreign-invested enterprise to its foreign shareholders no longer require the approval or verification of SAFE, and multiple capital accounts for the same entity may be opened in different provinces, which was not possible previously.

In February 2015, SAFE promulgated the Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving the Administration of the Foreign Exchange Concerning Direct Investment, or the SAFE Circular 13, pursuant to which, instead of applying for approval regarding foreign exchange registrations of foreign direct investment and overseas direct investment from SAFE, entities and individuals may apply for such foreign exchange registrations from qualified banks. The qualified banks, under the supervision of SAFE, may directly review the applications and conduct the registration.

In March 2015, SAFE issued the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or the SAFE Circular 19, pursuant to which, a foreign-invested enterprise may, according to its actual business needs, settle with a bank the portion of the foreign exchange capital in its capital account for which the relevant foreign exchange administration has confirmed monetary capital contribution rights and interests (or for which the bank has registered the injection of the monetary capital contribution into the account). In addition, for the time being, foreign-invested enterprises are allowed to settle 100% of their foreign exchange capital on a discretionary basis. A foreign-invested enterprise shall truthfully use its capital for its own operational purposes within the scope of business. Where an ordinary foreign-invested enterprise makes domestic equity investment with the amount of foreign exchanges settled, the invested enterprise must first go through domestic re-investment registration and open a corresponding account for foreign exchange settlement pending payment with the foreign exchange administration or the bank at the place where it is registered.

In June 2016, SAFE promulgated Circular on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital Accounts, or the SAFE Circular 16, pursuant to which, in addition to foreign currency capital, enterprises registered in mainland China may also convert their foreign debts, as well as repatriated fund raised through overseas listing, from foreign currency to Renminbi on a discretional basis. SAFE Circular 16 also reiterates that the use of capital so converted shall follow “the principle of authenticity and self-use” within the business scope

95

Table of Contents

of the enterprise. According to SAFE Circular 16, the Renminbi funds so converted shall not be used for the purposes of, whether directly or indirectly, (i) paying expenditures beyond the business scope of the enterprises or prohibited by laws and regulations; (ii) making securities investment or other investments (except for banks’ principal-secured products); (iii) granting loans to non-affiliated enterprises, except as expressly permitted in the business license; and (iv) purchasing non-self-used real estate (except for the foreign-invested real estate enterprises).

In January 2017, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Further Improving Reform of Foreign Exchange Administration and Optimizing Genuineness and Compliance Verification, or the SAFE Circular 3, which stipulates several capital control measures with respect to the outbound remittance of profit from domestic entities to offshore entities, including (i) under the principle of genuine transaction, banks shall check board resolutions regarding profit distribution, the original version of tax filing records, and audited financial statements; and (ii) domestic entities shall hold income to account for previous years’ losses before remitting the profits. Further, pursuant to the SAFE Circular 3, domestic entities shall make detailed explanations of the sources of capital and utilization arrangements, and provide board resolutions, contracts and other proof when completing the registration procedures in connection with an outbound investment.

On April 10, 2020, SAFE issued the Notice on Optimizing Foreign Exchange Administration to Support the Development of Foreign-related Business, or the SAFE Circular 8, it provides that under the condition that the use of the funds is genuine and compliant with current administrative provisions on use of income relating to capital account, enterprises are allowed to use income under capital account such as capital funds, foreign debts and overseas listings for domestic payment, without submission to the bank prior to each transaction of materials evidencing the veracity of such payment.

Regulations Relating to Dividend Distribution

The principal laws and regulations regulating dividend distributions by FIEs in mainland China include the Company Law of the PRC, the Foreign Investment Law and its Implementation Rules, pursuant to which, wholly foreign-owned enterprises in mainland China may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profits, if any, as determined in accordance with relevant PRC accounting standards and regulations, and shall not distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset. Additionally, these FIEs may not pay dividends unless they set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits after tax each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds, until the accumulative amount of such fund reaches 50% of the enterprise’s registered capital, these reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. FIEs also may allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on relevant PRC accounting standards to fund their employee welfare and bonus at their discretion.

Regulations Related to Foreign Exchange Registration of Offshore Investment by Mainland China Residents

In July 2014, SAFE issued the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Issues concerning Foreign Exchange Administration over the Overseas Investment and Financing and Round-trip Investment by Domestic Residents via Special Purpose Vehicles, or the SAFE Circular 37. The SAFE Circular 37 regulates foreign exchange matters in relation to the use of offshore special purpose vehicles, or “SPVs”, by mainland China residents or entities to seek offshore investment and financing or conduct round trip investment in mainland China. Under the SAFE Circular 37, an SPV refers to an offshore entity established or controlled, directly or indirectly, by mainland China residents or entities for the purpose of seeking offshore financing or making offshore investment, using legitimate domestic or offshore assets or interests, while “round trip investment” refers to the direct investment in mainland China by mainland China residents or entities through SPVs, namely, establishing foreign-invested enterprises to obtain the ownership, control rights and management rights. The Circular 37 requires that, before making contribution into an SPV, mainland China residents or entities are required to complete foreign exchange registration with the SAFE or its local branch.

In February 2015, SAFE promulgated the SAFE Circular 13. SAFE Circular 13 has amended SAFE Circular 37 by requiring mainland China residents or entities to register with qualified banks instead of the SAFE or its local branch in connection with their establishment of an SPV.

In addition, pursuant to the SAFE Circular 37, an amendment to registration or subsequent filing with qualified banks by such mainland China resident is also required if there is a material change with respect to the capital of the offshore company, such as any change of basic information (including change of such mainland China residents, change of name and operation term of the SPV), increases or decreases in investment amount, transfers or exchanges of shares, or mergers or divisions. Failure to comply with the registration requirements as set forth in both the SAFE Circular 37 and the SAFE Circular 13, misrepresent on or failure to disclose controllers of foreign-invested enterprises that are established by round-trip investment may result in bans on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant onshore company, including the payment of dividends and other distributions to its offshore parent company or affiliates, and may also subject relevant mainland China residents to penalties under the Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations of the PRC.

Table of Contents

As of the date of this prospectus, all the beneficial shareholders of the Company are not mainland China citizens and are not subject to foreign exchange registration under the SAFE Circular 37 or the SAFE Circular 13. However, we may not be informed of the identities of all the mainland China residents holding direct or indirect interest in our company, and we have no control over any of our future beneficial owners. Thus, we cannot provide any assurance that our current or future mainland China resident beneficial owners will comply with our request to make or obtain any applicable registrations or continuously comply with all registration procedures set forth in these SAFE rules. See “Risk Factor — Risks relating to doing business in China — PRC laws and regulations relating to offshore investment activities by mainland China residents may subject our mainland China resident beneficial owners or our PRC subsidiary to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRC subsidiary, limit our PRC subsidiary’s ability to increase its registered capital or distribute profits to us.”

Regulations Relating to Foreign Debt

As an offshore holding company, we may make additional capital contributions to our WFOE subject to approval from the local department of market regulation and the SAFE, with no limitation on the amount of capital contributions. We may also make loans to our WFOE subject to the approval from SAFE or its local office within the limitation on the amount of loans.

By means of making loans, WFOE is subject to the relevant PRC laws and regulation relating to foreign debts. On January 8, 2003, the NDRC, the SAFE and the MOF, jointly promulgated the Circular on the Interim Provisions on the Management of Foreign Debts, or the Foreign Debts Provisions, which became effective on March 1, 2003. Pursuant to the Foreign Debts Provisions, the total amount of foreign loans received by a foreign-invested company shall not exceed the difference between the total investment in projects as approved by the MOFCOM or its local counterpart and the amount of registered capital of such foreign-invested company. In addition, on January 11, 2017, the People’s Bank of China, or the PBOC, issued the Circular on Full-Coverage Macro-Prudent Management of Cross-Border Financing, or the PBOC Circular 9, which sets out the statutory upper limit on the foreign debts for PRC non-financial entities, including both foreign-invested companies and domestic-invested companies. Pursuant to the PBOC Circular 9, the foreign debt upper limit for both foreign-invested companies and domestic-invested companies is calculated as twice the net asset of such companies. As to net assets, the companies shall take the net assets value stated in their latest audited financial statement.

The PBOC Circular 9 does not supersede the Foreign Debts Provisions. It provides a one-year transitional period from January 11, 2017, for foreign-invested companies, during which foreign-invested companies, such as WFOE, could adopt their calculation method of foreign debt upper limit based on either the Foreign Debts Provisions or the PBOC Circular 9. The transitional period ended on January 11, 2018. Upon its expiry, pursuant to the PBOC Circular 9, the PBOC and the SAFE shall reevaluate the calculation method for foreign-invested companies and determine what the applicable calculation method would be.

On March 11, 2020, the PBOC and the SAFE promulgated the Circular on Adjusting the Macro-Prudent Adjustment Parameter for Full-Covered Cross-Border Financing, or the PBOC Circular 64, pursuant to which, the foreign debt upper limit is increased up to 2.5 times the net assets.

Further, on January 7, 2021, the PBOC and the SAFE collectively promulgated the Circular on Adjusting the Macro-Prudent Adjustment Parameter for Cross-Border Financing, or the PBOC Circular 5, pursuant to which, the macro-prudent adjustment parameter for cross-border financing was decreased from 1.25 to 1, therefore, the upper limit for foreign debt is down to 2 times the net assets.

Regulations Relating to M&A and Overseas Listing

On August 8, 2006, six PRC governmental and regulatory agencies, including the MOFCOM and the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, promulgated the Rules on Acquisition of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, governing the mergers and acquisitions of domestic enterprises by foreign investors that became effective on September 8, 2006, and was amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules, among other things, requires that offshore SPVs that are controlled by mainland China companies or individuals and that have been formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of mainland China domestic interest held by such companies or individuals, shall obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange.

Table of Contents

Our PRC counsel, JT&N, has advised us that, based on its understanding of current PRC laws, rules and regulations, and the M&A Rules, the CSRC approval is not required in the context of this offering given that: (i) CCSC Interconnect DG was established by means of direct investment rather than by a merger with or an acquisition of any mainland China domestic companies as defined under the M&A Rules, and (ii) no explicit provision in the M&A Rules classifies the respective share structure like ours falling within the M&A Rules. Notwithstanding the above opinion, our PRC counsel, JT&N, has further advised us that uncertainties exist as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted and implemented and its opinions summarized above are subject to any new laws, rules, and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. If the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies subsequently determine that prior CSRC approvals are required regarding this offering, we may face regulatory actions or other sanctions from the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Measures and five (5) supporting guidelines, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, a PRC domestic company that seeks to offer or list securities overseas, both by direct and indirect means, shall submit the filing materials with the CSRC as required by the Trial Measures within three (3) business days following its submission of an application with oversea securities regulatory authorities for its initial public offering or listing. If the PRC domestic company fails to complete required filing procedures, conceals any material fact or falsifies any major content in its filing materials, such PRC domestic company may be subject to administrative penalties, such as an order to rectify, warnings, fines, and its controlling shareholders, actual controllers, the person directly in charge and other directly liable persons may also be subject to administrative penalties, such as warnings and fines.

The Trial Measures outline the circumstances where PRC domestic companies are prohibited from offering and listing securities overseas, if such overseas offering and listing made by domestic companies (i) are explicitly prohibited by laws; (ii) may endanger national security as determined by relevant competent departments under the State Council; (iii) involve criminal offenses that disrupting PRC economy such as corruption, bribery, embezzlement, or misappropriation of property by such domestic company, the controlling shareholder, and/or actual controller in the recent three years; (iv) involve such domestic company in investigations for suspicion of criminal offenses or major violations of laws and regulations; or (v) involve material ownership disputes over the shares held by the controlling shareholder or by other shareholders that are controlled by the controlling shareholder and/or actual controller. We believe that our application for our offering and listing on Nasdaq does not fall under the aforementioned circumstances that prohibit such overseas listing under the Trial Measures.

Further, according to the CSRC Notice that was issued by the CSRC on February 17, 2023, beginning on March 31, 2023, PRC domestic companies that had submitted valid applications for overseas offering and listing but did not obtain the approval from overseas regulatory authorities or overseas stock exchanges shall complete the required filing procedures with the CSRC prior to the completion of their overseas offerings and listing. In compliance with the Trial Measures, we submitted our filing materials to the CSRC on August 31, 2023, and was informed by the CSRC in writing on November 6, 2023 that we do not fall within the scope of the filing requirements at this time. However, we cannot assure you that we will not become subject to the filing requirements under the Trial Measures in the future, if the CSRC issues any further guidelines that otherwise subjects us to them.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with the Ministry of Finance, the National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China, revised the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration for Overseas Securities Offering and Listing, which were issued by the CSRC and National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China in 2009, or the Provisions. The revised Provisions were issued under the title the “Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies,” and came into effect on March 31, 2023, together with the Trial Measures. One of the major revisions to the revised Provisions is expanding their application to cover indirect overseas offering and listing, as is consistent with the Trial Measures. The revised Provisions require that, among other things, (a) a PRC domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals or entities, including securities companies, securities service providers, and overseas regulators, any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, shall first obtain approval from competent authorities according to law, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level; and (b) a PRC domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals and entities, including securities companies, securities service providers, and overseas regulators, any other documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, shall strictly fulfill relevant

procedures stipulated by applicable national regulations. Any failure or perceived failure by our Company and our subsidiaries to comply with the above confidentiality and archives administration requirements under the revised Provisions and other PRC laws and regulations may result in the relevant entities being held legally liable by competent authorities, and referred to the judicial organ to be investigated for criminal liability if suspected of committing a crime.

Any new laws and regulations issued by the PRC authorities may subject us to additional compliance requirements. We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with all the new regulatory requirements under the Trial Measures, the revised Provisions, or any future implementing rules on a timely basis, or at all. Any failure by us to fully comply with the new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factor — Risks relating to doing business in China — The New Overseas Listing Rules and other relevant rules promulgated by the CSRC may subject us to additional compliance requirements in the future.

OVERVIEW OF HONG KONG LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Our Hong Kong subsidiary, CCSC Interconnect HK, engages in the trading of electronic products and is subject to relevant Hong Kong laws and regulations. This section sets forth a summary of the principal laws and regulations that are applicable to our business operations in Hong Kong.

Business Registration

The Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter 310 of the Laws of Hong Kong) requires every entity which carries on a business in Hong Kong to apply for business registration and to display the valid business registration certificate at the place of business. Any person who fails to apply for business registration or display a valid business registration certificate at the place of business shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to a fine of HK$5,000 and to imprisonment for one year.

Import and Export

Regulations 4 and 5 of the Import and Export (Registration) Regulations (Chapter 60E of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “IAE Registration Regulations”) provide that every person who imports or exports any article other than an exempted article shall lodge an accurate and complete import or export declaration relating to such article using services provided by a specific body with the Commissioner of Customs and Excise within 14 days after the importation and exportation of the article.

Any person failing to declare within 14 days after the importation without reasonable excuse is liable to a fine of HK$2,000 upon summary conviction and HK$100 in respect of every day such declaration has not been lodged. Furthermore, the IAE Registration Regulations also provide that any person knowingly or recklessly lodges any declaration with the Commissioner of Customs and Excise that is inaccurate in any material particular shall be liable to a fine of HK$10,000 upon summary conviction.

Sale of Goods Ordinance

Sale of Goods Ordinance (Chapter 26 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “Sale of Goods Ordinance”) provides that where a seller sells goods in the course of a business, there is an implied condition that (i) where the goods are purchased by description, the goods shall correspond with the description; (ii) the goods supplied are of merchantable quality; and (iii) the goods shall be fit for the purpose for which they are purchased. Otherwise, a buyer has the right to reject the defective goods unless he or she has a reasonable opportunity to examine the goods. A breach of the implied term may give rise to a civil action for breach of contract by the customers. However, no criminal liability arises from such breach of implied term.

Trade Descriptions

The Trade Descriptions Ordinance (Chapter 362 of the Laws of Hong Kong) prohibits false descriptions, false, misleading or incomplete information in respect of goods in the course of trade. Under the Trade Descriptions Ordinance, it is an offence for a person, in the course of trade or business, to apply a false or misleading trade description to any goods or

99

Table of Contents

supply any goods with false or misleading trade descriptions, forge any trade mark or falsely apply any trade mark to any goods, or engages in relation to a consumer in a commercial practice that is a misleading omission or aggressive, constitutes bait advertising, a bait and switch, or wrongly accepting payment for a product.

A person who commits any such offence is subject to, on conviction on indictment, a fine of up to HK$500,000 and imprisonment for five years, and, on summary conviction, to a fine of HK$100,000 and to imprisonment for two years.

Taxation

The Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“IRO”) is an ordinance that regulates taxes on property, earnings and profits in Hong Kong. The IRO provides, among others, that persons, which include corporations, partnerships, trustees and bodies of persons, carrying on any trade, profession or business in Hong Kong are liable for tax on all profits (excluding profits arising from the sale of capital assets) arising in or derived from Hong Kong from such trade, profession or business. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the standard profits tax rate for corporations is at 8.25% on assessable profits up to HK$2,000,000 and 16.5% on any part of assessable profits over HK$2,000,000. The IRO also contains provisions relating to, among others, permissible deductions for outgoings and expenses, set-offs for losses and allowances for depreciations.

Transfer pricing

According to the Inland Revenue (Amendment) (No. 6) Ordinance 2018 (the “IRAO”), the arm’s length principle is the fundamental transfer pricing rule in Hong Kong.

The IRAO empowers the Inland Revenue Department (the “IRD”) to impose transfer pricing adjustments on income or expenses arising from non-arm’s length transactions between associated persons which resulted in a potential Hong Kong tax disadvantages to the IRD. Where a transaction between two related persons does not comply with the arm’s length principle and creates tax advantages, the IRD is empowered to adjust the profits or losses of that person(s). The IRAO also implements a three-tiered transfer pricing documentation requirement including a master file, a local file and a country-by-country report. Such documentation requirement may be exempted based on the size of an entity and/or the value of the transactions.

Employment

The Employment Ordinance (Chapter 57 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“EO”) provides basic employment protections to all employees, including but not limited to payment of wages, restrictions on wages deductions and the granting of statutory holidays.

The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (Chapter 485 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“MPFSO”) provides that every employer must take all practicable steps to ensure that each employee is covered under a Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) scheme. An employer who fails to comply with such a requirement may face a fine and imprisonment. The MPFSO provides that an employer shall, for each contribution period, from the employer’s own funds, contribute to the relevant MPF scheme the amount determined in accordance with the MPFSO.

The Employees’ Compensation Ordinance (Chapter 282 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“ECO”) provides that all employers are required to take out insurance policies to cover their liabilities under the ECO and common law for injuries at workplace for all of their employees. An employer failing to do so may be liable to a fine and imprisonment.

The prescribed minimum hourly wage rate (currently set at HK$40 per hour) for every employee is govern by the Minimum Wage Ordinance (Chapter 608 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “MWO”). Section 15 of the MWO provides that any provision of employment contract which purports to extinguish or reduce the right, benefit or protection conferred on the employee under the MWO is void.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past 10 years, been involved in any legal proceedings described in subparagraph (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors will consist of 7 directors upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Duties of Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, all of our directors owe three types of duties to us: (i) statutory duties, (ii) fiduciary duties, and (iii) common law duties. The Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands imposes a number of statutory duties on a director. A Cayman Islands director’s fiduciary duties are not codified; however, the courts of the Cayman Islands have held that a director owes the following fiduciary duties: (a) a duty to act in what the director bona fide considers to be in the best interests of the company, (b) a duty to exercise their powers for the purposes they were conferred, (c) a duty to avoid fettering his or her discretion in the future and (d) a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and of duty. The common law duties owed by a director are those to act with skill, care and diligence that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and, also, to act with the skill, care and diligence in keeping with a standard of care commensurate with any particular skill they have which enables them to meet a higher standard than a director without those skills. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our amended articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time. We have the right to seek damages if a duty owed by any of our directors is breached.

Terms of Directors and Executive Officers

Each of our directors holds office until a successor has been duly elected and qualified unless the director was appointed by the board of directors, in which case such director holds office until the next annual meeting of shareholders at which time such director is eligible for re-election. All of our executive officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of our board of directors.

Qualification

There is currently no shareholding qualification for directors.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

We are a Cayman Islands company and our affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, as amended and restated from time to time, and Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, which we refer to as the “Companies Act” below, and the common law of the Cayman Islands.

As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized share capital is US$50,000 divided into 100,000,000 Ordinary Shares of a par value of US$0.0005 each. As of the date of this prospectus, 10,000,000 Ordinary Shares are issued and outstanding. All of our issued and outstanding shares are fully paid.

All of our shares issued and outstanding prior to the completion of the offering are and will be fully paid, and all of our shares to be issued in the offering will be issued as fully paid.

Our Post-Offering Memorandum and Articles of Association

Our shareholders have conditionally adopted the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which will become effective and replace our current memorandum and articles of association in its entirety immediately prior to the completion of this offering. The following are summaries of material provisions of our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Act insofar as they relate to the material terms of our Ordinary Shares that we expect will become effective upon the closing of this offering.

Objects of Our Company.    Under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, the objects of our company are unrestricted and we have the full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the Cayman Islands law.

Ordinary Shares.    Our shares are issued in registered form and are issued when registered in our register of members (shareholders). We may not issue shares to bearer. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their shares.

Dividends.    The holders of our shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors or declared by our shareholders by ordinary resolution (provided that no dividend may be declared by our shareholders which exceeds the amount recommended by our directors). Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that dividends may be declared and paid out of our profits, realized or unrealized, or from any reserve set aside from profits which our board of directors determine is no longer needed. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our 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 our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Voting Rights.    Holders of shares shall, at all times, vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote by the members at any general meeting of our company. Each share shall be entitled to one vote on all matters subject to the vote at general meetings of our company. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairperson of such meeting or any one shareholder present in person or by proxy.

An ordinary resolution to be passed at a meeting by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes attaching to the Ordinary Shares cast at a meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of the votes cast attaching to the outstanding Ordinary Shares at a meeting. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our post-offering memorandum and articles of association. Our shareholders may, among other things, divide or combine their shares by ordinary resolution.

General Meetings of Shareholders.    As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that we may (but are not obliged to) in each year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting in which case we shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it, and the annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our directors.

Shareholders’ general meetings may be convened by a majority of our board of directors. Advance notice of at least seven calendar days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders’ meeting (if any) and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for any general meeting of shareholders consists of at least one shareholder present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third of all votes attaching to the issued and outstanding shares in our company entitled to vote at general meeting.

110

Table of Contents

The Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that upon the requisition of any one or more of our shareholders who together hold shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of all votes attaching to the issued and outstanding shares of our company that as at the date of the deposit carry the right to vote at general meetings of our company, our board will convene an extraordinary general meeting and put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. However, our post-offering memorandum and articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by such shareholders.

Transfer of Ordinary Shares.    Subject to the restrictions set out in our post-offering memorandum and articles of association as set out below, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share unless:

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

        the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

        the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

        in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Ordinary Share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

        a fee of such maximum sum as the Nasdaq Capital Market may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof.

If our directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within three calendar months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

The registration of transfers may, on ten calendar days’ notice being given by advertisement in such one or more newspapers, by electronic means or by any other means in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our board of directors may from time to time determine, provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 calendar days in any calendar year.

Liquidation.    On the winding up of our company, if the assets available for distribution amongst our shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to our company for unpaid calls or otherwise. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses are borne by our shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them.

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

Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares.    We may issue shares with terms that such shares are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders of these shares, on such terms and in such manner as may be determined, before the issue of such shares, by either our board of directors or by our shareholders by ordinary resolution. Our company may also repurchase any of our shares on such terms and in such manner as have been approved by our board of directors or by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. Under the Companies Act, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our Company’s profits or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital (including share premium account

111

Table of Contents

and capital redemption reserve) if our company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Act no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding or (c) if the company has commenced liquidation. In addition, our company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration.

Variations of Rights of Shares.    If at any time, our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class of shares, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class of shares, may be materially and adversely varied with the consent in writing of at least two-thirds of the holders of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of the class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued shall not, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the shares of that class, be deemed to be materially and adversely varied by the creation, allotment or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to such existing class of shares.

Issuance of Additional Shares.    Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association authorize our board of directors to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as our board of directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association also authorize our board of directors to establish from time to time one or more series of preferred shares and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series, including:

        the designation of the series;

        the number of shares of the series;

        the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights; and

        the rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences.

Our board of directors may issue preferred shares without action by our shareholders to the extent authorized but unissued. Issuance of these shares may dilute the voting power of holders of Ordinary Shares.

Inspection of Books and Records.    Holders of our Ordinary Shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records (save for our memorandum and articles of association and our register of mortgages and charges). However, we will provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements.

Anti-Takeover Provisions.    Some provisions of our post-offering memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that:

        authorize our board of directors to issue preferred shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preferred shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders; and

        limit the ability of shareholders to requisition and convene general meetings of shareholders.

However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company.

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

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

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

112

Table of Contents

        does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

        may issue negotiable or bearer shares or shares with no par value;

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

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

        may register as a limited duration company; and

        may register as a segregated portfolio company.

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

Register of Members.    Under the Companies Act, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:

        the names and addresses of our members, together with a statement of the shares held by each member, and such statement shall confirm (i) the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member, (ii) the number and category of shares held by each member, and (iii) whether each relevant category of shares held by a member carries voting rights under the articles of association of our company, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional;

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

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

Under the Companies Act, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (that is, the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members is deemed as a matter of the Companies Act to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Upon completion of this offering, we will perform the procedure necessary to immediately update the register of members to record and give effect to the issuance of shares by us. Once our register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name.

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

Differences in Corporate Law

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

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

113

Table of Contents

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

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose a company is a “parent” of a subsidiary if it holds issued shares that together represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the votes at a general meeting of the subsidiary.

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

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

Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Companies Act also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by (a) 75% in value of shareholders; or (b) a majority representing 75% in value of creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

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

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

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

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

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

If an arrangement and reconstruction by way of scheme of arrangement is thus approved and sanctioned, or if a tender offer is made and accepted in accordance with the foregoing statutory procedures, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Shareholders’ Suits.    In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company, and as a general rule a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands court can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge actions where:

        a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires (and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders);

114

Table of Contents

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

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

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability.    Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that that we shall indemnify our officers and directors against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such directors or officer, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, wilful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation.

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our post-offering memorandum and articles of association.

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

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties.    Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

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

Table of Contents

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

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

The Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association allow any one or more of our shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of the total number votes attaching to all issued and the outstanding shares of our company that as at the date of the deposit carry the right to vote at general meetings to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our post-offering memorandum and articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any other right to put proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings. As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.

Cumulative Voting.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the laws of the Cayman Islands but our post-offering memorandum and articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

Removal of Directors.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, directors may be removed with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders. A director will also cease to be a director if he (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors; (ii) dies or is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing to our company; (iv) without special leave of absence from our board, is absent from meetings of our board for three consecutive meetings and our board resolves that his office be vacated; or (v) is removed from office pursuant to any other provision of our articles of association.

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

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

Dissolution; Winding Up.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by the board of directors.

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

Variation of Rights of Shares.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, the rights attached to any such class may, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class, only be materially and adversely varied with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of an ordinary resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to the shares of that class, be deemed to be materially and adversely varied by the creation, allotment or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to them or the redemption or purchase of any shares of any class by our company. The rights of the holders of shares shall not be deemed to be materially and adversely varied by the creation or issue of shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

Amendment of Governing Documents.    Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Companies Act and our post-offering memorandum and articles of association, our memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.

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

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Before our initial public offering, there has not been a public market for our Ordinary Shares, and although we expect to make an application for the Ordinary Shares to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, a regular trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not develop. Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our Ordinary Shares in the public market after our initial public offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could cause the prevailing market price for our Ordinary Shares to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding Ordinary Shares held by public shareholders representing approximately [        ]% of our Ordinary Shares in issue if the underwriters do not exercise the over-allotment option, and approximately [        ]% of our Ordinary Shares in issue if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full. All of the Ordinary Shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable by persons other than our “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.

Lock-up Agreements

The Company’s directors, officers and holders of more than five percent (5%) of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, as of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, will enter into customary “lock-up” agreements in favor of the representative for a period of six (6) months from the date of the closing of this offering, and (ii) each of the Company and any successors of the Company will agree, for a period of three (3) months from the closing of this offering, that each will not (A) offer, sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; or (B) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company.

We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of our Ordinary Shares, or the availability of Ordinary Shares for future sale, will have on the trading price of our Ordinary Shares from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our Ordinary Shares.

Rule 144

All of our Ordinary Shares that will be outstanding upon the completion of this offering, other than those sold in this offering, are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may be sold publicly in the United States only if they are subject to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirement such as those provided by Rule 144 and Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who at the time of a sale is not, and has not been during the three months preceding the sale, an affiliate of ours and has beneficially owned our restricted securities for at least six months is entitled to sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act, subject to the availability of current public information about us, and will be entitled to sell restricted securities beneficially owned for at least one year without restriction. Persons who are our affiliates (including persons beneficially owning 10% or more of our outstanding shares) and have beneficially owned our restricted securities for at least six months may sell within any three-month period a number of restricted securities that does not exceed the greater of the following:

        1% of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding, which will equal approximately [          ] shares immediately after this offering (or [          ] Ordinary Shares if the underwriters exercise the option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares in full); or

        the average weekly trading volume of the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale on Form 144 is filed with the SEC.

Such sales are also subject to manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

Table of Contents

Rule 701

Beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, persons other than affiliates who purchased Ordinary Shares under a written compensatory plan or other written agreement executed prior to the completion of this offering may be entitled to sell such shares in the United States in reliance on Rule 701 under the Securities Act, or Rule 701. Rule 701 permits affiliates to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144.

Rule 701 further provides that non-affiliates may sell these shares in reliance on Rule 144 subject only to its manner-of-sale requirements. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to any applicable lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires.

Regulation S

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

TAXATION

The following discussion of material PRC, Cayman Islands, and United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Ordinary Shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in our Ordinary Shares, such as the tax consequences under state, local, and other tax laws or under tax laws of jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands, the People’s Republic of China and the United States. To the extent that the discussion relates to matters of Cayman Islands tax law, it represents the opinion of Maples & Calder (Hong Kong) LLP, our Cayman Islands legal counsel; to the extent it relates to PRC tax law, it is the opinion of JT&N, our PRC legal counsel, to the extent it relates to Hong Kong tax law, it is the opinion of our Hong Kong legal counsel, P. C. Woo & Co., to the extent it relates to the U.S. tax law, it is the opinion of Hunter Hunter Taubman Fischer & Li LLC.

Cayman Islands Taxation

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

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

Hong Kong Taxation

The Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“IRO”) is an ordinance that regulates taxes on property, earnings and profits in Hong Kong. The IRO provides, among others, that persons, which include corporations, partnerships, trustees and bodies of persons, carrying on any trade, profession or business in Hong Kong are liable for tax on all profits (excluding profits arising from the sale of capital assets) arising in or derived from Hong Kong from such trade, profession or business. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the standard profits tax rate for corporations is at 8.25% on assessable profits up to HK$2,000,000 and 16.5% on any part of assessable profits over HK$2,000,000. The IRO also contains provisions relating to, among others, permissible deductions for outgoings and expenses, set-offs for losses and allowances for depreciations.

PRC Laws and Regulations on Taxation

Enterprise Income Tax and Withholding Tax

In March 2007, the National People’s Congress of China enacted the EIT Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008 (as amended in December 2018). The EIT Law provides that enterprises organized under the laws of jurisdictions outside mainland China with their “de facto management bodies” located within mainland China may be considered as mainland China resident enterprises and therefore subject to EIT at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income. The Implementing Rules of the EIT Law further defines the term “de facto management body” as the management body that exercises substantial and overall management and control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise.

In April 2009, the SAT issued the Notice Regarding the Determination of Chinese-Controlled Overseas Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the Basis of De Facto Management Bodies, known as 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 deemed to be located in mainland China. Although Circular 82 only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by mainland China enterprises or mainland China enterprise groups, not offshore enterprises controlled by mainland China individuals or foreigners, the criteria set forth in the circular may reflect the SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of all offshore enterprises.

According to SAT Notice 82, a Chinese-controlled offshore incorporated enterprise will be regarded as a mainland China tax resident by virtue of having a “de facto management body” in mainland China and will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax on its worldwide income only if all of the following criteria are met: (i) the places where senior

120

Table of Contents

management and senior management departments that are responsible for daily production, operation and management of the enterprise perform their duties are mainly located within the territory of mainland China; (ii) financial decisions (such as money borrowing, lending, financing and financial risk management) and personnel decisions (such as appointment, dismissal and salary and wages) are decided or need to be decided by organizations or persons located within the territory of mainland China; (iii) main property, accounting books, corporate seal, the board of directors and files of the minutes of shareholders’ meetings of the enterprise are located or preserved within the territory of mainland China; and (iv) one half (or more) of the directors or senior management staff having the right to vote habitually reside within the territory of mainland China.

The Administrative Measures for Enterprise Income Tax of Chinese-Controlled Overseas Incorporated Resident Enterprises (Trial Version), or Bulletin 45, further clarifies certain issues related to the determination of tax resident status. Bulletin 45 also specifies that when provided with a resident Chinese-controlled, offshore-incorporated enterprise’s copy of its recognition of residential status, a payer does not need to withhold a 10% income tax when paying certain income sourced from mainland China, such as dividends, to such Chinese-controlled offshore-incorporated enterprise as provided under the EIT Law and Circular 82.

We believe that our Cayman Islands holding company, CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited, is not a mainland China resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited is a company incorporated outside China. As a holding company, its key assets are its ownership interests in its subsidiaries, and its key assets are located, and its records (including the resolutions of its board of directors and the resolutions of its shareholders) are maintained, outside China. As such, we do not believe that our company meets all of the conditions above or is a mainland China resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. For the same reasons, we believe our other entities outside mainland China are not mainland China resident enterprises either. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the competent PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.” There can be no assurance that the competent PRC government will ultimately take a view that is consistent with our position and there is a risk that the competent PRC tax authorities may deem our company as a mainland China resident enterprise, in which case we would be subject to the EIT at the rate of 25% on our worldwide income. If the competent PRC tax authorities determine that our Cayman Islands holding company is a mainland China “resident enterprise” for EIT purposes, a number of unfavorable tax consequences could follow.

One example is a 10% withholding tax would be imposed on dividends we pay to our enterprise shareholders that are not mainland China resident enterprises and with respect to gains derived by our enterprise shareholders that are not mainland China resident enterprises from transferring our Ordinary Shares. It is unclear whether, if we are considered a mainland China resident enterprise, holders of our Ordinary Shares would be able to claim the benefit of income tax treaties or agreements entered into between mainland China and other countries or areas. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, we may be classified as a mainland China “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes. Such classification would likely result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our shareholders who are not mainland China residents and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.”

According to the Announcement of SAT on Several Issues Concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Property Transfer by Non-Resident Enterprises, or Circular 7, which was promulgated by the SAT and became effective on February 3, 2015, if a non-resident enterprise transfers the equity interests of a mainland China resident enterprise indirectly by transfer of the equity interests of an offshore holding company (other than a purchase and sale of shares issued by a mainland China resident enterprise in the public securities market) without a reasonable commercial purpose, the competent PRC tax authorities have the power to reassess the nature of the transaction and the indirect equity transfer may be treated as a direct transfer. As a result, the gain derived from such transfer, which means the equity transfer price less the cost of equity, will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%.

Under the terms of Circular 7, a transfer which meets all of the following circumstances shall be directly deemed as having no reasonable commercial purposes if:

        over 75% of the value of the equity interests of the offshore holding company are directly or indirectly derived from taxable properties in mainland China;

        at any time during the year before the indirect transfer, over 90% of the total properties of the offshore holding company are investments within the territories of mainland China, or in the year before the indirect transfer, over 90% of the offshore holding company’s revenue is directly or indirectly derived from the territories of mainland China;

121

Table of Contents

        the function performed and risks assumed by the offshore holding company are insufficient to substantiate its corporate existence; or

        the foreign income tax imposed on the indirect transfer is lower than the PRC tax imposed on the direct transfer of the taxable properties in mainland China.

On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Announcement on Issues Relating to Withholding at Source of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises, or SAT Circular 37, which took effect on December 1, 2017. SAT Circular 37 purports to provide further clarifications by setting forth the definitions of equity transfer income and tax basis, the foreign exchange rate to be used in the calculation of the withholding amount and the date on which the withholding obligation arises.

Specifically, SAT Circular 37 provides that where the transfer income subject to withholding at source is derived by an enterprise that is not mainland China resident enterprise in instalments, the instalments may first be treated as recovery of costs of previous investments. Upon recovery of all costs, the tax amount to be withheld must then be computed and withheld.

There is uncertainty as to the application of SAT Circular 7 and SAT Circular 37. SAT Circular 7 and SAT Circular 37 may be determined by the competent PRC tax authorities to be applicable to transfers of our shares that involve non-resident investors, if any of such transactions were determined by the tax authorities to lack a reasonable commercial purpose.

As a result, we and our non-resident investors in such transactions may become at risk of being taxed under SAT Circular 7 and SAT Circular 37, and we may be required to comply with SAT Circular 7 and SAT Circular 37 or to establish that we should not be taxed under the general anti-avoidance rule of the EIT Law. This process may be costly and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in China — We face uncertainty with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in mainland China resident enterprises by their holding companies that are not mainland China companies.

Value-added Tax

Pursuant to the Interim Regulations on Value-added Tax of the PRC promulgated by the State Council on December 13, 1993 and were recently amended on November 19, 2017, and the Detailed Rules on the Implementation of Interim Regulation on Value-added Tax of the PRC promulgated by the Ministry of Finance, or the MOF, on December 25, 1993 and were recently amended on October 28, 2011, collectively the VAT Laws, all entities and individuals in mainland China engaging in the sales of goods, provision of processing services, repairs and replacement services, sales services, intangible assets, real estate and the importation of goods are required to pay VAT at the rate of 17%, unless otherwise stated.

According to the Circular on Adjusting Value-added Tax Rates, which was promulgated by the MOF and the State Administration of Taxation, or the SAT, on April 4, 2018 and became effective on May 1, 2018, where a taxpayer engages in a taxable sales activity for the value-added tax purpose or importation of goods, the previous applicable 17% and 11% tax rates are lowered to 16% and 10%, respectively.

According to the Circular on Policies to Deepen Value-added Tax Reform, which was promulgated by the MOF, the SAT and the General Administration of Customs on March 20, 2019 and became effective on April 1, 2019, where a taxpayer engages in a taxable sales activity for the value-added tax purpose or importation of goods, the previous applicable 16% and 10% tax rates are lowered to 13% and 9%, respectively.

As of the date of this prospectus, the VAT rate applicable to our sales of goods is 13%.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares by a U.S. Holder (as defined below) that acquires our Ordinary Shares in this offering and holds our Ordinary Shares as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. This discussion is based upon existing U.S. federal tax law, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. No ruling has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with respect to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. This discussion, moreover,

122

Table of Contents

does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift, Medicare, and alternative minimum tax considerations, any withholding or information reporting requirements, or any state, local and non-U.S. tax considerations relating to the ownership or disposition of our Ordinary Shares. The following summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances or to persons in special tax situations such as:

        banks and other financial institutions;

        insurance companies;

        pension plans;

        cooperatives;

        regulated investment companies;

        real estate investment trusts;

        broker-dealers;

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

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

        governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

        tax-exempt entities (including private foundations);

        holders who acquired our Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation;

        investors that will hold our Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

        persons holding their Ordinary Shares in connection with a trade or business outside the United States;

        persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our voting power or value (including by reason of owning our Ordinary Shares);

        investors required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to their Ordinary Shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

        investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

        partnerships or other entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons holding Ordinary Shares through such entities, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those discussed below.

The discussion set forth below is addressed only to U.S. Holders that purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering. Prospective purchasers are urged to consult their own tax advisors about the application of the U.S. federal income tax rules to their particular circumstances as well as the state, local, foreign and other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares.

General

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

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

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

123

Table of Contents

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

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

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

Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”)

A non-U.S. corporation is considered a PFIC, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the US Internal Revenue Code, for any taxable year if either:

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

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

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

Based on our operations, current and projected income and assets, and the composition of our income and assets (taking into account the current and expected income generated from our investment products purchased from banks), we do not expect to be treated as a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future under the current PFIC rules. We must make a separate determination each year as to whether we are a PFIC, however, and there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any future taxable year. Depending on the amount of cash we raise in this offering, together with any other assets held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, for our current taxable year or for any subsequent taxable year, more than 50% of our assets may be assets held for the production of passive income. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. Because the value of our assets for purposes of the asset test will generally be determined based on the market price of our Ordinary Shares and because cash is generally considered to be an asset held for the production of passive income, our PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price of our Ordinary Shares and the amount of cash we raise in this offering. Accordingly, fluctuations in the market price of the Ordinary Shares may cause us to become a PFIC. In addition, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects and the composition of our income and assets will be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend the cash we raise in this offering. We are under no obligation to take steps to reduce the risk of our being classified as a PFIC, and as stated above, the determination of the value of our assets will depend upon material facts (including the market price of our Ordinary Shares from time to time and the amount of cash we raise in this offering) that may not be within our control. If we are a PFIC for any year during which you hold Ordinary Shares, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which you hold Ordinary Shares. If we cease to be a PFIC and you did not previously make a timely “mark-to-market” election as described below, however, you may avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime by making a “purging election” (as described below) with respect to the Ordinary Shares.

If we are a PFIC for your taxable year(s) during which you hold Ordinary Shares, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” that you receive and any gain you realize from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the Ordinary Shares, unless you make a “mark-to-market” election as discussed

124

Table of Contents

below. Distributions you receive in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions you received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the Ordinary Shares will be treated as an excess distribution. Under these special tax rules:

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

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

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

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

A U.S. Holder of “marketable stock” (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the US Internal Revenue Code for such stock to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. If you make a mark-to-market election for first taxable year which you hold (or are deemed to hold) Ordinary Shares and for which we are determined to be a PFIC, you will include in your income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares as of the close of such taxable year over your adjusted basis in such Ordinary Shares, which excess will be treated as ordinary income and not capital gain. You are allowed an ordinary loss for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the Ordinary Shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. Such ordinary loss, however, is allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the Ordinary Shares included in your income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in your income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares, are treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the Ordinary Shares, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included for such Ordinary Shares. Your basis in the Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. If you make a valid mark-to-market election, the tax rules that apply to distributions by corporations which are not PFICs would apply to distributions by us, except that the lower applicable capital gains rate for qualified dividend income discussed above under “— Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on our Ordinary Shares” generally would not apply.

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

Alternatively, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC may make a “qualified electing fund” election under Section 1295(b) of the US Internal Revenue Code with respect to such PFIC to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. A U.S. Holder who makes a valid qualified electing fund election with respect to a PFIC will generally include in gross income for a taxable year such holder’s pro rata share of the corporation’s earnings and profits for the taxable year. The qualified electing fund election, however, is available only if such PFIC provides such U.S. Holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits as required under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. We do not currently intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable you to make a qualified electing fund election. If you hold Ordinary Shares in any taxable year in which we are a PFIC, you will be required to file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 in each such year and provide certain annual information regarding such Ordinary Shares, including regarding distributions received on the Ordinary Shares and any gain realized on the disposition of the Ordinary Shares.

If you do not make a timely “mark-to-market” election (as described above), and if we were a PFIC at any time during the period you hold our Ordinary Shares, then such Ordinary Shares will continue to be treated as stock of a PFIC with respect to you even if we cease to be a PFIC in a future year, unless you make a “purging election” for the year we cease to be a PFIC. A “purging election” creates a deemed sale of such Ordinary Shares at their fair market value on the last day of the last year in which we are treated as a PFIC. The gain recognized by the purging election will be

125

Table of Contents

subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, you will have a new basis (equal to the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the last day of the last year in which we are treated as a PFIC) and holding period (which new holding period will begin the day after such last day) in your Ordinary Shares for tax purposes.

IRC Section 1014(a) provides for a step-up in basis to the fair market value for our Ordinary Shares when inherited from a decedent that was previously a holder of our Ordinary Shares. However, if we are determined to be a PFIC and a decedent that was a U.S. Holder did not make either a timely qualified electing fund election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) our Ordinary Shares, or a mark-to-market election and ownership of those Ordinary Shares are inherited, a special provision in IRC Section 1291(e) provides that the new U.S. Holder’s basis should be reduced by an amount equal to the Section 1014 basis minus the decedent’s adjusted basis just before death. As such if we are determined to be a PFIC at any time prior to a decedent’s passing, the PFIC rules will cause any new U.S. Holder that inherits our Ordinary Shares from a U.S. Holder to not get a step-up in basis under Section 1014 and instead will receive a carryover basis in those Ordinary Shares.

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

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on our Ordinary Shares

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

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders, dividends will be taxed at the lower capital gains rate applicable to qualified dividend income, provided that (1) the Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or we are eligible for the benefits of an approved qualifying income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program, (2) we are not a PFIC for either our taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period requirements are met. Because there is not income tax treaty between the United States and the Cayman Islands, clause (1) above can be satisfied only if the Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Under U.S. Internal Revenue Service authority, Ordinary Shares are considered for purpose of clause (1) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NYSE and the Nasdaq Stock Market. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to our Ordinary Shares, including the effects of any change in law after the date of this prospectus.

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

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

Taxation of Dispositions of Ordinary Shares

Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed above, you will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of a share equal to the difference between the amount realized (in U.S. dollars) for the share and your tax basis (in U.S. dollars) in the Ordinary Shares. The gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, including an individual U.S. Holder, who has held the Ordinary Shares for more than one year, you will generally be eligible for reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss that you recognize will generally be treated as United States source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes which will generally limit the availability of foreign tax credits.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and possible U.S. backup withholding under Section 3406 of the US Internal Revenue Code with at a current flat rate of 24%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification on U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. Holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information. We do not intend to withhold taxes for individual shareholders. Transactions effected through certain brokers or other intermediaries, however, may be subject to withholding taxes (including backup withholding), and such brokers or intermediaries may be required by law to withhold such taxes.

Under the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010, certain U.S. Holders are required to report information relating to our Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Ordinary Shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a complete Internal Revenue Service Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their tax return for each year in which they hold Ordinary Shares.

Upon the termination of the engagement of the representative or the closing of this offering, whichever is earlier, we agree to pay promptly in cash any unreimbursed expenses that have been accrued as of such date. Whether or not this offering is successfully completed, the Company shall be responsible for reasonable, necessary and accountable out-of-pocket expenses relating to this offering including but not limited to:(a) the costs of preparing, printing and filing the registration statement with the SEC, including amendments and supplements, and post-effective amendments, as well as filing with FINRA, and payment of all necessary fees in connection with and the printing of a sufficient quantity of preliminary and final prospectuses as the representative and underwriters may reasonably request; (b) the costs of preparing, printing and delivering exhibits thereto in such quantities as the representative and underwriters may reasonably request; (c) all fees, expenses and disbursements related to the registration, qualification or exemption of securities offered under the securities laws of foreign jurisdictions designated by the representatives and underwriters; (d) the fees of counsel(s) and accountants for the Company, including fees associated with any blue sky filing where applicable; (e) fees associated with the Company’s transfer agent; (f) fees, if necessary, associated with translation services; (g) expenses related to road shows; and (h) the costs of any pre-approved due diligence work in legal, finance and business.

We have applied to list our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CCTG.” There is no assurance that such listing application will be approved, and if our listing application is not approved, this offering may not be completed.

Lock-Up Agreements

The Company’s directors, officers and holders of more than five percent (5%) of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, as of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, will enter into customary “lock-up” agreements in favor of the representative for a period of six (6) months from the date of the closing of this offering, and (ii) each of the Company and any successors of the Company will agree, for a period of three (3) months from the closing of this offering, that each will not (A) offer, sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; or (B) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the SEC relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company.

Pricing of the Offering

Prior to the completion of this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. The initial public offering price of the Ordinary Shares has been negotiated between us and the underwriters. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price of the Ordinary Shares, in addition to the prevailing market conditions, are our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, an assessment of our management, and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.

Electronic Offer, Sale, and Distribution of Ordinary Shares

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the underwriters or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering and the underwriters may distribute prospectuses electronically. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of Ordinary Shares to selling group members for sale to its online brokerage account holders. The Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to internet distributions will be allocated on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us or the underwriters, and should not be relied upon by investors.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions, and Penalty Bids

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

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

Finally, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, our Ordinary Shares in market making transactions, including “passive” market making transactions as described below.

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

Passive Market Making

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in passive market making transactions in our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the Ordinary Shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, then that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

The underwriters and their respective affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own accounts and for the accounts of their customers and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of our Company. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Selling Restrictions

No action has been taken in any jurisdiction (except in the United States) that would permit a public offering of the Ordinary Shares, or the possession, circulation or distribution of this prospectus or any other material relating to us or the Ordinary Shares, where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the Ordinary Shares may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this prospectus nor any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the Ordinary Shares may be distributed or published, in or from any country or jurisdiction except in compliance with any applicable rules and regulations of any such country or jurisdiction.

Stamp Taxes

Indemnification; Escrow

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If we are unable to provide this indemnification, we will contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities. At closing of the offering, we will deposit $200,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) from the offering proceeds into an escrow account designated by the parties to cover possible indemnification claims against the underwriters and other indemnified persons as described in this registration statement and the underwriting agreement. This Escrow Amount shall be held at the designated account for a period of 12 months from the closing of the offering, during which period the Company may use the Escrow Amount for low risk investment (bonds, mutual funds, money arkets, etc.) at its discretion, subject to the terms and conditions of the engagement letter between the Company and the representative, the underwriting agreement and/or the registration statement, provided that we notify the representative in writing in advance.

EXPERTS

The consolidated financial statements of CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited for the year ended March 31, 2023 included in this prospectus have been so included in reliance on the report of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. The office of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP is located at 7 Pennsylvania Plaza Suite 830, New York, NY 10001. The consolidated financial statements of CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited for the year ended March 31, 2022 included in this prospectus have been so included in reliance on the report of Friedman LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. The office of Friedman LLP was located at One Liberty Plaza, 165 Broadway 21st Floor, New York, NY 10006.

CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

Effective September 1, 2022, Friedman LLP, our then independent registered public accounting firm, combined with Marcum LLP and continued to operate as an independent registered public accounting firm. On January 1, 2023, our Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Friedman LLP and the engagement of Marcum Asia CPAs LLP (“Marcum Asia”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm. The services previously provided by Friedman LLP are now provided by Marcum Asia.

Friedman LLP’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. Furthermore, during our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2022 preceding Friedman LLP’s dismissal, there have been no disagreements with Friedman LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Friedman LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused Friedman LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on our financial statements for such periods.

For our two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2022 preceding Friedman LLP’s dismissal, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, other than the material weaknesses reported by management in the Risk Factors section of our draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed with the SEC on December 22, 2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and shareholders of

CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of March 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

New York, New York

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022 (such date takes into account the acquisition of certain assets of Friedman LLP by Marcum Asia CPAs LLP effective September 1, 2022).

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

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

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

/s/ Friedman LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor through 2022.

CCSC TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In U.S. dollars, except for share data or otherwise noted)

1.      ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

(a)    Principal activities

CCSC Technology International Holdings Limited (“CCSC Cayman” or the “Company”), through its direct wholly-owned subsidiaries, is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of interconnect products, including connectors, cables and wire harnesses. The majority of the Company’s products are sold in Europe and Asia. The Company produces both OEM (“original equipment manufacturer”) and ODM (“original design manufacture”) interconnect products for manufacturing companies that produce end products, as well as for electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”) companies, who procure and assemble products on behalf of such manufacture companies.

(b)    Organization

CCSC Cayman was incorporated as an ultimate holding company in the Cayman Islands on October 19, 2021.

CCSC Cayman owns 100% equity interests in CCSC Group Limited (“CCSC Group”), a limited liability company established as an investment holding company under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on October 19, 2021.

CCSC Cayman and CCSC Group are currently not engaged in any active business operations and are merely acting as holding companies.

CCSC Technology Group Limited (“CCSC Technology Group”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCSC Group, was incorporated on December 31, 1992 in Hong Kong, China under its former name, Leoco (H.K.) Limited, which was subsequently changed to its current name on December 5, 2019.

CCSC Technology Group has three direct wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC and the Netherlands as follows:

        Dongguan CCSC Interconnect Electronic Technology Limited. (“CCSC Interconnect DG”), a company incorporated on June 28, 1993 in Dongguan, China;

        CCSC Interconnect Technology Limited (“CCSC Interconnect HK”), a company incorporated on July 3, 2007 in Hong Kong, China; and

        CCSC Interconnect Technology Europe B.V. (“CCSC Interconnect NL”), a company incorporated on March 14, 2016 in the Netherlands.

Prior to the Reorganization described below, CCSC Technology Group was controlled by several individual shareholders. A reorganization of the Company’s legal structure (“Reorganization”) was completed in March 17, 2022. The reorganization involved the incorporation of CCSC Cayman and CCSC Group and the transfer of the 100% interest of CCSC Technology Group from its individual shareholders to CCSC Group. As the result of this Reorganization, CCSC Group, CCSC Technology Group and its subsidiaries became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

Upon the completion of the above Reorganization, the Company became the ultimate holding company of all other entities mentioned above. The Company is effectively controlled by the same group of controlling shareholders before and after the Reorganization; therefore, the Reorganization is considered as a recapitalization of these entities under common control. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries was accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Results of operations for the period presented comprise those of the previous separate entries combined from the beginning of the period to the end of the period, eliminating the effects of intra-entity transactions.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)    Basis of presentation

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

(b)    Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

(c)     Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on information as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Significant accounting estimates include, but are not limited to allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment provision for inventories, useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, recoverability of long-lived assets, and realization of deferred income taxes. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(d)    Foreign currencies and foreign currency translation

The functional currency and reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“US$”). The Company’s direct wholly-owned operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong, mainland China, and the Netherlands, use their respective currencies, Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”), Renminbi (“RMB”) and Euro (“EUR”), as their functional currencies.

The financial statements of the Company’s direct wholly-owned operating subsidiaries were translated into US$ using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Assets and liabilities denominated in functional currencies at the balance sheet date were translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. The equity denominated in the functional currency was translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of the capital contribution. Because cash flows were translated based on the average exchange rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows may not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other

(e)     Cash

Cash consists of cash on hand and cash in bank. The Company maintains cash with various financial institutions primarily in HK, mainland China and the Netherlands. The Company has not experienced any losses in bank accounts.

(f)     Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents rental guarantee deposit for the Company’s office located in Netherlands, which cannot be withdrawn without certain approval or notice. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had restricted cash of $9,305 and $9,508, respectively.

(g)    Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable represents the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivables. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Company usually determines the adequacy of reserves for doubtful accounts based on individual account analysis and historical collection trends. The Company establishes a provision for doubtful receivables when there is objective evidence that the Company may not be able to collect amounts due. The allowance is based on management’s best estimates of specific losses on individual exposures, as well as a provision on historical trends of collections. The provision is recorded against accounts receivables balances, with a corresponding charge recorded in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Delinquent account balances are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is remote. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded as the Company considers all of the outstanding accounts receivable fully collectible.

(h)    Inventories, net

Inventories, primarily consisting of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and inventory in transit, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company reviews its inventories periodically to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential shrinkage and obsolete or unusable inventory. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded inventory reserves of $274,557 and $685,301, respectively (see Note 4).

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(i)     Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any, and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Category

 

Estimated useful lives

Machinery and equipment

 

2 – 10 years

Office equipment, furniture and fixtures

 

2 – 5 years

Leasehold improvements

 

Lesser of useful life and lease terms

Motor vehicle

 

4 years

Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its intended use.

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expenses as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the costs, accumulated depreciation and impairment with any resulting gain or loss recognized in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income in other income or expenses.

(j)     Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and amortized in a method which reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are expected to be consumed or otherwise used up. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line approach over the estimated economic useful lives of the asset as follows:

Category

 

Estimated useful lives

Software

 

5 years

(k)    Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Company measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows. There were no impairments of these long-lived assets as of March 31, 2023 and 2022.

(l)     Deferred Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) Costs

The Company complies with the requirement of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, consulting, and other expenses incurred through the balance sheet date that are directly related to the intended IPO. Deferred offering costs will be charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. Should the IPO prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations. Deferred IPO costs amounted to $1,051,038 and $456,555 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(m)   Fair value measurement

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (‘‘ASC 820’’). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

        Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

        Level 2 — Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

        Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

Financial assets and liabilities of the Company primarily consisted of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, inventories, amounts due from related parties, deferred initial public offering costs, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, advance from customers, short-term loans, income tax payable, amounts due to related parties, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximated to their fair value of the respective assets and liabilities based upon the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

The Company believes that the carrying amount of long-term loans approximate fair value at March 31, 2023 and 2022 based on the terms of the borrowings and current market rates, as the rates of the borrowings are reflective of the current market rates.

(n)    Commitments and contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. For the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any material legal claims or litigation that, individually or in aggregate, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The Company also had contractual payment obligations under its operating lease agreements with the landlords (see Note 9).

(o)    Revenue recognition

ASC 606 establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

To determine revenue recognition for contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five steps:

Step 1:    Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2:    Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3:    Determine the transaction price

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

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

The Company manufactures and sells interconnect products, including connectors, cables and wire harnesses.

The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers its goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in such exchange. The Company accounts for the revenue generated from sales of its products to its customers on a gross basis, because the Company is acting as a principal in these transactions, is subject to inventory risk, has latitude in establishing prices, and is responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide customers the specified goods. All of the Company’s contracts have single performance obligation as the promise is to transfer the individual goods to customers, and there are no other separately identifiable promises in the contracts.

The Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time when title and risk of loss passes and the customer accepts the goods, which generally occurs at delivery. The Company’s products are sold with no right of return and the Company does not provide other credits or sales incentives to customers. Revenue is reported net of value added tax (“VAT”), business tax and surcharges collected on behalf of tax authorities in respect of product sales.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts by product category and geographic regions, as the Company believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Company’s disaggregation of revenues for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are disclosed in Note 15 to these consolidated financial statements.

Contract assets and liabilities

The Company did not have contract assets as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company’s contract liabilities primarily relate to unsatisfied performance obligations when payment has been received from customers before the Company’s products are delivered, and are recorded as “advance from customers” on the consolidated balance sheets. Costs of fulfilling customers’ purchase orders, such as shipping, handling and delivery, which occur prior to the transfer of control, are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense when incurred. Advance from customers amounted to $186,874 and $75,374 as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenue included in the beginning balance of advance from customers and recognized in the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $75,374 and $167,824, respectively. A substantial portion of the balance of advance from customers as of March 31, 2022 has been subsequently recognized as revenue when the Company delivered the products to its customers.

(p)    Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of (i) cost of materials (ii) labor costs, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) rental expenses for the factory and employee dormitory. Depreciation and amortization of manufacturing facilities and warehouses attributable to manufacturing activities are capitalized as part of the cost of inventory, and expensed in costs of revenues when the inventory is sold.

(q)    Selling expenses

Selling expenses mainly consist of (i) freight fees and transportation fees; (ii) staff costs, rental and depreciation related to selling and marketing functions; (iii) free sample expenses incurred for obtaining new customers and sales orders; and (iv) marketing and entertainment expenses for promotion.

(r)     General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses mainly consist of (i) staff costs, rental and depreciation related to general and administrative personnel; (ii) professional service fees; and (iii) other corporate expenses.

(s)     Research and development (“R&D”) expenses

Research and development expenses mainly consist of (i) costs of raw material for the research and development activities; and (ii) salaries, welfare and insurance expenses paid to R&D employees and (iii) manufacturing expenses for producing samples related to research and development activities.

(t)     Government Subsidies

Government subsidy is recognized when there is a reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to it and the grant will be received. Government grant for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs or obligation is recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income when the grant becomes receivable. Government subsidies received and recognized as other operating income totaled $62,627 and $17,910 for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(u)    Employee Defined Contribution Plan

The Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC participate in a government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan pursuant to which pension, work-related injury benefits, maternity insurance, medical insurance, unemployment benefit and housing fund are provided to eligible full-time employees. The relevant labor regulations require the Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC to pay the local labor and social welfare authorities monthly contributions based on the applicable benchmarks and rates stipulated by the local government. The contributions to the plan are expensed as incurred. Employee social security and welfare benefits included as expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income amounted to $584,060 and $605,267 for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(v)     Leases

The Company leases premises for offices under non-cancellable operating leases.

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Lease (FASB ASC Topic 842). ASC 842 requires that lessees recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities calculated based on the present value of lease payments for all lease agreements with terms that are greater than twelve months. ASC 842 distinguishes leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease on the consolidated balance sheets that affects how the leases are measured and presented in the statement of operations and statement of cash flows (see Note 9).

Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use underlying assets including vehicles and production equipment for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the

F-15

Table of Contents

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Company assesses whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset, and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset.

The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating lease right-of-use of assets and finance lease right-of-use of assets

The right-of-use of asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received. The Company has both operating lease and finance lease.

For operating lease, lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The amortization of the right-of-use asset is calculated as the difference between the straight-line lease expense and the interest calculated on the lease liability.

Operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities

Lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed lease payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and any exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

Lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if there is any change in the Company assessment of option purchases, contract extensions or termination options.

(w)    Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included on the related tax liabilities line the in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not believe that there were any uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The Company’s operating subsidiary in mainland China are subject to examination by the relevant PRC tax authorities. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB100 ($15). In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is 10 years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion.

The Company’s operating subsidiary in Hong Kong are subject to examination by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (the “HKIRD”) if the HKIRD has doubts regarding the source of income, the completeness and accuracy of the tax returns filed by the taxpayers. According to the Inland Revenue Ordinance, the taxpayers are required to keep sufficient records of income and expenditure for a period of not less than 7 years to enable the assessable profits to be readily ascertained.

As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, all of the Company’s tax returns of its PRC and Hong Kong subsidiaries remain open for statutory examination by PRC and Hong Kong tax authorities.

(x)    Value added tax (“VAT”)

Sales revenue represents the invoiced value of goods, net of VAT. The Company is subject to VAT and related surcharges on revenue generated from sales of products. The Company records revenue net of VAT, sales taxes and related surcharges. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT, paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities.

The VAT is based on gross sales price. The mainland China VAT rate is 13% for taxpayers selling consumer products, and was 16% prior to April 1, 2021. The primary applicable rate of the Netherlands VAT is 21% for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and no VAT tax in Hong Kong.

(y)     Segment Reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, and is identified on the basis of the internal financial reports that are provided to and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) in order to allocate resources and assess the performance of the segment.

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s CODM for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. Management, including the CODM, reviews operating results by the revenue of different services. Based on management’s assessment, the Company has determined that it has one operating segment as defined by ASC 280 (see Note 15).

(z)     Earnings per share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS are computed by dividing income available to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average Ordinary Shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS take into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Ordinary Shares were exercised and converted into Ordinary Shares. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no dilutive shares.

(aa)  Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income The foreign currency translation adjustment resulting from translation of the consolidated financial statements expressed in RMB and other foreign currencies to US$ is reported in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

(bb)  Concentration and credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, restricted cash and accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2023, and 2022, the aggregate amounts of cash and restricted cash of $4,584,530 and $1,683,903, respectively, were held at major financial institutions located in mainland China and $3,133,085 and $3,602,037, respectively, were deposited with major financial institutions located outside mainland China. Management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality and continually monitors the credit worthiness of these financial institutions.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk associated with its trading and other activities is measured on an individual counterparty basis, as well as by group of counterparties that share similar attributes. Substantially all of the Company’s sales are made to customers that are located primarily in the Europe, Asia and Americas. The Company’s operating results could be adversely affected by government policies on exporting businesses, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and local market condition changes.

There were three customers who accounted for approximately 12.0%, 10.6% and 10.5% of total revenue for the years ended March 31, 2023. There was one customer who accounted for approximately 15.5% of total revenue for the years ended March 31, 2022, respectively.

There was no customer who accounted for more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2023.There was one customer who accounted for approximately 10.4% of the accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2022.

There was no single supplier that accounted for over 10% of the Company’s total purchases for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

(cc)   Related parties and transactions

The Company identifies related parties, and accounts for, discloses related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” and other relevant ASC standards.

Related parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

Transactions between related parties commonly occurring in the normal course of business are considered to be related party transactions. Transactions between related parties are also considered to be related party transactions even though they may not be given accounting recognition. While ASC does not provide accounting or measurement guidance for such transactions, it nonetheless requires their disclosure.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(dd)  Risks and uncertainties

The Company has substantial operations in China through its PRC subsidiaries. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in the PRC, as well as by the general state of the PRC economy. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory and social conditions in the PRC. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.

The Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations may also be negatively impacted by risks related to regional wars, geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics and other catastrophic incidents, which could potentially and significantly disrupt the Company’s operations.

The Company’s operations may be further affected by the ongoing outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. China did not stick to zero-tolerance COVID-19 policy since December 2022. A resurgence of the pandemic could potentially cause more infectious cases, limited support from its employees due to infection, reduce the Company’s capability to execute customer contracts and collect customer payments, or disrupt the Company’s supply chain, and the continued uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic may further negatively impact the Company’s future revenue growth and cash flows.

The uncertainties associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war may cause the Company’s future revenue and cash flows to underperform due to significant increases in raw material purchase prices and disruptions of the global supply chain. Any potential impact to the Company’s operating results will depend, to a large extent, on future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the actions taken by government authorities to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the new development of the Russia-Ukraine war, all of which are beyond the Company’s control and cannot be reasonably predicted as of the date of this report.

(ee)   Recent accounting pronouncements

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses”, which will require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Further, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, ASU 2021-05, ASU 2021-10, ASU 2021-11 and ASU 2022-02 to provide additional guidance on the credit loss standards. For all other entities, the amendments for ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASUs is on a modified retrospective basis. The Company will adopt ASU 2016-13 from April 1, 2023. The Company assesses the impact of adoption of this ASU was immaterial to its financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on, or are unrelated to, its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and reduces the carrying amount of the deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. Management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect the Company’s future realization of deferred tax assets including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectation of future income, the carry forward periods available for tax reporting purposes and other relevant factors. As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s subsidiary, CCSC Technology Group, reported a net operating loss of $551,460. As a holding company established in Hong Kong, management concluded that the chances for CCSC Technology Group which suffered net operating losses in prior periods to become profitable in the foreseeable near future and to utilize its net operating loss carry forwards were remote. Accordingly, the Company provided valuation allowance of $90,991 and $35,689 for the deferred tax assets of CCSC Technology Group as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, and 2022, tax loss carryforwards amounted to $551,460 and $432,591, respectively, and these tax losses were generated by our Hong Kong subsidiary according to the Hong Kong tax law. These tax loss carryforwards have no expiration date, allowing our subsidiary to offset future taxable income with these losses and potentially reduce its tax liabilities in profitable years.

13.    Equity

Ordinary Shares

On October 19, 2021, the Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands and had an initial authorized share capital of US$50,000 divided into 50,000,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.001 each.

On May 5, 2022, the Company’s authorized and issued shares of par value US$0.001 each was subdivided into 2 shares of par value US$0.0005 each (the “Subdivision”), and following the Subdivision, the authorized share capital of US$50,000 was divided into 100,000,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.0005 each, and the issued share capital was US$10 divided into 20,000 Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.0005 each, with the shareholder’s shareholding ratio remaining unchanged.

Immediately following the Subdivision, pursuant to the director’s written resolutions on May 5, 2022, a total of 9,980,000 Ordinary Shares were allotted and issued to the shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings.

As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s authorized and issued Ordinary Shares were 100,000,000 and 10,000,000, respectively, on a retrospective basis to reflect the recapitalization.

Subscription receivable

Subscription receivable represents unpaid capital contribution by the Company’s shareholders as of the balance sheet dates. In December 2021, the Company’s shareholder, Cyber Generation Investment Limited, made capital contributions of $461,520 to the Company.

14.    RESTRICTED NET ASSETS

A significant portion of the Company’s operations are conducted through its PRC subsidiary. The Company’s ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiary. Relevant PRC and regulations permit payments of dividends by PRC subsidiary only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations, and after an entity has met the requirements for appropriation to statutory reserves. The Company is required to make appropriations to certain reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve and the discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC (“PRC GAAP”). Appropriations to the statutory surplus reserve are required to be at least 10% of the after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entity’s registered capital. Appropriations to the surplus reserve are made at the discretion of the board of directors of the Company.

Paid-in capital of our PRC subsidiary included in the Company’s consolidated net assets are also non-distributable for dividend purposes.

As a result of these PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiary is restricted in its ability to transfer a portion of their net assets to the Company. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, net assets restricted in the aggregate, which included paid-in capital and statutory reserve funds of the Company’s PRC subsidiary, that were included in the Company’s consolidated net assets, were approximately $2,411,781 and $2,411,781, or 22% and 26% of the Company’s total net assets, respectively.

15.    SEGMENT INFORMATION

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and is identified on the basis of the internal financial reports that are provided to and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources and assess performance of the segment.

15.    SEGMENT INFORMATION (cont.)

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the chief executive officer (the “CEO”), who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. The Company has determined that it only has one operating segment.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to the public policy, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

Our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that will become effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering provide that each officer or director of our company (but not auditors) shall be indemnified out of our assets against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such director or officer, other than by reason of such person’s own dishonesty or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his or her duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Under the form of indemnification agreement to be filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this registration statement, we will agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or executive officer.

The form of underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement will also provide for indemnification of us and our officers and directors.

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

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Set forth below is information regarding share capital issued by us during the last three years. None of the below described transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering.

In connection with our incorporation, we issued an aggregate of 10,000 Ordinary Shares to certain investors on March 17, 2022, and on May 5, 2022, we issued a total of 9,980,000 Ordinary Shares to existing shareholders on a pro rata basis.

We believe that the offers, sales and issuances of the securities described in the preceding paragraph were exempt from registration either (a) under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in that the transactions were between an issuer and sophisticated investors or members of its senior executive management and did not involve any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2), (b) under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act in that offers, sales and issuances were not made to persons in the United States and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States, or (c) under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act in that the transactions were underwritten compensatory benefit plans or written compensatory contracts.

Item 8. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

(a)    Exhibits

See Exhibits Index beginning on page II-4 of this registration statement.

(b)    Financial Statement Schedules

Schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements or the Notes thereto.

Item 9. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

i.       To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

ii.      To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

iii.     To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

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

(3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering

(4)    To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by “Item 8.A. of Form 20-F (17 CFR 249.220f)” at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering.

(5)    That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(6)    That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Table of Contents

(7)    For the purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distributions of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

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

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

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

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