17
 

The main reasons why consumers buy our products and services

(1)   Eye care: The current proliferation of electronic products, eye problems emerge in endlessly. In modern society, no matter which line which industry needs to use the eyes, without the eyes can not move, so the importance of eye health for each of us is self-evident. China's eye sub-health population has reached 1 billion, the eye demand is increasing, and now there are particularly many children with myopia. If you feel tired eyes for a long time, you need to do some eye maintenance to relieve, these people are our rehabilitation groups.

(2)   Moxibustion care: Some people have heavy dampness, especially in winter or when in a cold air-conditioned environment, they often feel very uncomfortable, they need to use our products and techniques to get rid of dampness. Because nowadays many customers in beauty salons, health clubs and massage parlors have the need to get rid of dampness, so we have grafted most of our products to these stores.

(3)   Save time and effort: our products can be used directly at home for daily maintenance. Customers can realize the daily maintenance at home for themselves, the effect is better than maintenance by going to the stores once a week, and it is convenient and time-saving, and the cost is low.

Current Industry Position and Target Positioning of Our Company

As far as eye care in Chinese medicine is concerned, our company is on the top of the Health industry. This is because after using our eye care products and services, everyone feels really comfortable and has a noticeable soothing effect. This immediate effect comes from:

(1)     Our products are developed by ourselves and then entrusted to professional pharmaceutical factories, and the core ingredients are extracted from precious Chinese medicinal plants.

(2)     Our main herbal medicinal plants are also grown from Shanxi, and this wormwood raw material is chosen with great care.

(3)     Our technology (extraction process, care practices are all perfected. That's why we are at the top of the industry when it comes to eye care.

One of our visions is to lead in the segment of eye care to establish a well-known brand belonging to us in the health industry. Because if we don't have a grip to do this brand management, we can't make people come to our stores to remember us or consume. We attract consumers by this strong point (eyes care). When the customers arrive, they truly experience that we have excellent eye care, then they will be willing to do more different parts of the comprehensive care. Next, we have to add some dietary care for our clients, so that they receive a more systematic and comprehensive internal and external health care, at the same time we achieve the purpose of making everyone healthier.

18
 

In the TCM health care industry, the longer a company is in it, the better. We are promoting our country's traditional Chinese medicine and moxibustion as a way to maintain health, we hope to help people establish a correct view of health.

Distribution Channels

(1) Our focus is on the sales of brand stores. We already have more than 200 brand stores (not directly operated), we can do health care programs and sell products for our customers in these stores.

(2) Another aspect is our brand management. Some entrepreneurs who want to join us and work with us, and are confident to promote “AIRENDE” in their local areas with our coaching and accompanying, we will charge a brand usage fee, which is about 10,000 - 20,000 RMB per year.

(3) Agent fee: Different cities have different stores such as: health centers, beauty salons, moxibustion stores. These stores do not use our brand but need to use or sell our products, so they are our agents in various places. Our agents can do the promotion, they act as our salesman roles.

Our Competitive Advantages

(1)Technical Advantages
(2)Product Advantages
(3)Sales Channels Advantage
(4)Systematic and comprehensive service advantages
(5)Executive Advantages
(6)Conceptual Advantages

Our company is based on the principle of “altruism first, benefit the public”. We insist on the business philosophy that “what the factory produces is not only the product, but also the reputation and quality”. We constantly absorb new technologies and introduce new equipment, has developed a bright-eyed moxibustion, Qianfu moxa pillars, At present, we have developed a series of products such as Brightening Eye Moxibustion, Qianfu Moxa Pillar, Ancient Moxibustion Sticker, Foot Bath Herbal Pack, and Heqiguang eye mask. They have been widely used in numerous fields, such as moxibustion health centers, our customers’ home-care.

We insist on altruistic thinking in all our decisions. Drawing on the essence of the ancients, relying on the development of science and technologies, constantly providing customers with satisfactory moxa products is our unchanging pursuit.

The Industry Market scale

Market Size, Number and Distribution of Clients in Health Industry

Nowadays eye care market is much larger than imagined, according to the data from the relevant authorities:

There are nearly one billion Internet users and electronic product users in China, the number of professional anchors has reached 15.08 million, and there are 1.079 billion

19
 

Internet users and 1.427 billion mobile phone users. Popular electronic products and many Internet users have created a large number of eye sub-health groups. At the same time, the eye care market has a large number of customers and huge demands. As a result, the eye care industry will flourish and become the general trend. Analyzed data from the Internet communities we found that the current eye care market is clearly becoming a huge blue ocean market.

 

Our Industrial Structure

At present, all business segments of our enterprise are interrelated, some are directly related, some are indirectly related, they are all about great health. Our business model is:

(1) Franchisees: franchisees combine products and services together, they use our brand--”AIRENDE”.

(2) Commercial Agents: Our products are selled by commercial agents, they don’t use our brand.

 

Our Business Planning

We started in the moxibustion industry in 2010, when the number of people who knew about it was very small. After 14 years, moxibustion has become a household name.

If this fundraising is successful we will connect the up- streams and down-streams: we will acquire our upstream factories. Our downstream distributors are channels we built by ourselves, so we plan to expand these channels in the future after the success of this fundraising, such as e- commerce stores, malls and supermarkets, then it will be easier and faster for everyone to buy.

 

Health Industry Pain Points and Solutions

(1) At present, one of the common pain points in moxibustion business is that people think moxibustion is smoky. Because moxa smoke also has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, we have now converted this pain point into a benefit. When monsoon season comes or after home decorations, people like smoking it to kill the poison and eliminate bacteria.

(2) Mugwort products used to be more cumbersome at home, it has forced us to develop easy and fast ways. So we developed moxibustion stickers for home use.

(3) People's recognition of traditional Chinese medicine is low. In reality, it is generally believed that the effect of traditional Chinese medicine comes slowly, so people prefer Western medicine. Although the effect of Chinese medicine is slower, there are no toxic side effects, and the longer it takes, the better it works.

Health Industry Predictions

Health industries don't usually have rapid mega-changes, Instead, its development trend will be toward greater refinement and more directness and effectiveness. And We also follow this objective law, at the same time, we are also innovative in researching new products and services.

OFFERINGS

Below is a summary of the terms of the offering:

RISK FACTORS

Risks associated with doing business in China

We are subject to risks and uncertainties generally associated with doing business in China, including, but not limited to, the following factors:

We have grown rapidly in recent years and have limited experience operating at our current scale of operations. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our brand, company culture and financial results may suffer.

We have grown rapidly in the past year and our recent growth rates and financial results should not be considered indicators of our future performance. In order to effectively manage and leverage our growth, we must continue to expand our sales and marketing, focus on innovative product and website development, and upgrade our management information systems. Our continued growth has in the past and may in the future strain our existing resources and we may experience ongoing operational difficulties in managing our operations in numerous jurisdictions, including difficulties in recruiting, training and managing a dispersed and growing employee base. Failure to expand and maintain our company culture through growth may harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate goals. 

Health industry is evolving rapidly and may not evolve as we expect. Even if our net sales continue to grow, our net sales growth rate may decline in the future due to a variety of factors, including macroeconomic factors, changes in supply and supply chain, changes in consumer preferences, increased competition and the maturation of our business. Accordingly, you should not rely on our net sales growth rates for any prior period as an indicator of our future performance. Our overall growth in net sales will depend on many factors, including our ability to:

21
 

(1) price our products and services effectively so that we can attract new customers and expand our relationships with existing customers.

(2) accurately forecast our net sales and plan our operating expenses.

(3) compete successfully with other companies that are or may be entering our competitive market in the future and respond to developments in those competitors, such as pricing changes and the introduction of new products and services.

(4) Complying with existing and new laws and regulations that apply to our business.

(5) Successfully expanding into existing markets and entering new markets, including new geographic areas and categories.

(6) The successful introduction of new products and enhancements to our products and services and their features, including in response to new trends or competitive dynamics or customer needs or preferences.

(7) Successfully identifying and acquiring or investing in businesses, products or technologies that we believe will complement or expand our business.

(8) Avoiding disruptions or interruptions in the

distribution of our products and services.

(9) Providing quality support to our customers that meets their needs.

(10)     Hiring, integrating and retaining talented sales, customer service and other personnel.

(11)     Effectively managing the growth of our business, personnel and operations, including the opening of new showrooms.

(12)     Effectively managing the costs associated with our business and operations.

(13)     Maintaining and enhancing our reputation and brand value.

Because of our limited history of operating our business at our current scale, it is difficult to assess our current operations and future prospects, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. Our limited operating experience at this scale, combined with the rapidly evolving nature of the markets in which we sell our products and services, the significant uncertainty about how these markets will develop and other economic factors beyond our control, reduces our ability to accurately forecast quarterly or annual revenues. Failure to effectively manage our future growth could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

The working capital required to implement our business strategy and R&D efforts will most likely be provided by funds obtained through offerings of our equity, debt, debt-linked securities, and/or equity-linked securities, and revenues generated by us. 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 of 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. 

We may need to engage in capital-raising transactions in the near future. Such financing transactions may well cause substantial dilution to our shareholders and could involve the issuance of securities with rights senior to the outstanding shares. Our ability to complete additional financings 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.

22
 

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. Moreover, our reputation could be impaired. As a result, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

If we fail to manage our inventory effectively, our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be materially and adversely affected.

Our business model requires us to manage a large volume of inventory effectively. We procure products from third-party manufacturers and sell as our own inventory through our Marketplace and off-platform ecommerce. We depend on our demand forecasts for various kinds of products to make purchase decisions and to manage our inventory. Demand for products, however, can change significantly between the time inventory is ordered and the date by which we target to sell it. Demand may be affected by seasonality, new product launches, changes in product cycles and pricing, product defects, changes in consumer spending patterns, changes in consumer tastes with respect to our products and other factors, and our customers may not order products in the quantities that we expect. In addition, when we begin selling a new product, we may not be able to accurately forecast demand. The procurement of certain types of inventory may require significant lead time and prepayment, and they may not be returnable. If we are unable to anticipate or respond to changes in customer preferences or fail to bring products that satisfy new customer preferences to our Marketplace and off-platform ecommerce in a timely manner, our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be adversely affected.

We may experience significant fluctuations in our results of operations and growth rate.

We have grown significantly in recent years, and we intend to continue to expand the scope and geographic reach of the services we provide. Our anticipated future growth will likely place significant demands on our management and operations. Our success in managing our growth will depend, to a significant degree, on the ability of our executive officers and other members of senior management to operate effectively and on our ability to further improve and develop our financial and management information systems, controls and procedures. In addition, we expect to have to adapt our existing systems and introduce new systems, train and manage our employees and improve and expand our sales and marketing capabilities.

23
 

Revenue growth may slow down or decline for any number of reasons, including our inability to attract and retain sellers and buyers, decreased buyer spending, increased competition, the emergence of alternative business models, changes in government policies and general economic conditions. We may also lose buyers and sellers for other reasons, such as a failure to deliver satisfactory customer or transaction experience or high-quality services. If we are unable to properly and prudently manage our operations as they continue to grow, or if the quality of our services deteriorates due to mismanagement, our brand name and reputation could be significantly harmed, and our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including those described above. As a result, historical period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future period-to-period results. You should not rely on the results of a single fiscal quarter as an indication of our annual results or our future performance.

If we fail to effectively promote our business and attract new and retain current buyers and sellers, our business, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

We believe that the effective promotion of our business is of significant importance to our success. Enhancing our brand recognition in the e-commerce market is critical to increasing the quantity and depth of engagement of sellers and buyers with our products and service, which, in turn, enhances the appeal and assortment of products and services to buyers. We have conducted and will continue to conduct various marketing and promotional activities, including through both digital channels and offline media, aimed at increasing the visibility of our business, the attractiveness of our products for our sellers and buyers. We cannot assure you, however, that these activities will be effective in achieving the intended promotional impact on our business. In addition, our buyers and sellers may have conflicting views regarding some of the new initiatives we introduce to improve our products, which can diminish our attempts to maintain a positive network effect and negatively affect our buyer and seller base. Further, any negative publicity relating to our products or services, regardless of its veracity, could harm our reputation and cause buyers and sellers to leave us, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If our marketing efforts are not successful in attracting new and retaining current buyers, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

If we fail to maintain and enhance our brand, our business, prospects and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing our Airende brand is significantly important to the success of our business. A well-recognized brand is critical to increasing the number of buyers and sellers and the level of their engagement and, in turn, enhancing the attractiveness of our products and services to them. Despite conducting a number of brand promotion and recognition activities from time to time, we cannot assure you that these activities will be successful in the future or that we will be able to achieve the brand promotion effects that we expect. In addition, our competitors may increase the intensity of their marketing campaigns, which may force us to increase our advertising spend to maintain our brand awareness. If our brand is harmed or we are forced to increase our marketing expenses, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

24
 

We operate in a competitive market. If we fail to retain

our current market position, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

The markets for our products and services are competitive and rapidly evolving. The successful execution of our strategy depends on our ability to continuously attract and retain sellers and buyers, expand the market for our products and services, continue technological innovation and offer new capabilities to sellers and buyers. We have many competitors in physical stores and a large and fragmented group of other offline retailers. We compete with these current and potential competitors for both sellers and buyers. From time to time, our buyers may decide not to continue purchasing our products for various reasons. Our commercial agents may also decide to switch to our competitors’ services. Some of our existing or potential competitors may have greater resources, capabilities and expertise in management, technology, finance, product development, sales, marketing and other areas. Further, the internet facilitates competitive entry and comparison shopping, which enhances the ability of new, smaller or lesser known businesses, including businesses from outside Cayman, to compete against us. As a result of these various types of current and potential competitors, we may fail to retain or may lose our current market position, we may fail to continue to attract new and maintain our existing buyers and sellers, and we may be required to increase our spending or maintain lower prices, which could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Our strategic investments or acquisitions may be unsuccessful.

We may acquire other assets, technologies, products and businesses that are complementary to our existing business or otherwise. We may also enter into strategic partnerships or cooperation agreements with other businesses to expand our marketplace. Negotiating these transactions can be time-consuming, challenging and expensive, and our ability to close these transactions may often be subject to regulatory approvals that are beyond our control. In addition, investments and acquisitions could result in the use of substantial amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, significant amortization expenses related to intangible assets, significant diversion of management attention and exposure to potential unknown liabilities of the acquired business. Moreover, the cost of identifying and consummating investments and acquisitions and integrating the acquired businesses into ours may be significant, and the integration of acquired businesses may be disruptive to our existing business operations. Consequently, these transactions, even if undertaken and announced, may not close. For one or more of those transactions, we may issue additional equity securities that would dilute our shareholders’ ownership interest, use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business, incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay, incur expenses or substantial liabilities, encounter difficulties retaining key employees of the acquired company or business cultures, encounter difficulties in assimilating acquired operations, encounter diversion of management’s attention to other business concerns, and become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation, impairment losses, or deferred compensation charges. If our investments and acquisitions are not successful, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

25
 

Employee misconduct is difficult to determine and detect and could harm our reputation and business.

We face a risk that may arise out of our commercial agents or employees’ lack of knowledge or willful, negligent or involuntary violations of laws, rules and regulations or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could involve, among other things, the improper use or disclosure of confidential information (including trade secrets), embezzlement or fraud, any of which could result in regulatory sanctions or fines imposed on us, as well as cause us serious reputational or financial harm. We have experienced misconduct by employees and commercial agents in the past, which to date has not caused any material harm to our business. However, any such further misconduct in the future may result in unknown and unmanaged risks and losses. We have internal audit, security and other procedures in place that are designed to monitor our employees’ conduct. However, despite these controls and procedures there can be no assurance that we will discover employee misconduct in a timely and effective manner, if at all. It is not always possible to guard against employee misconduct and ensure full compliance with our risk management and information policies. The direct and indirect costs of employee misconduct can be substantial, and our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

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

Although the British economy expanded well in the last two decades, the rapid growth of the British economy has slowed down since 2012, and there is considerable uncertainty over the long-term effects of the expansionary monetary and fiscal policies adopted by the People’s Bank of Cayman and financial authorities of some of the world’s leading economies, including the United States and Cayman. There have been concerns over unrest and terrorist threats in the Middle East, Europe and Africa, which have resulted in volatility in oil and other markets. There have also been concerns on the relationship among Cayman and other Asian countries, which may result in or intensify potential conflicts in relation to territorial disputes. Economic conditions in Cayman are sensitive to global economic conditions, as well as changes in domestic economic and political policies and the expected or perceived overall economic growth rate in Cayman. Any severe or prolonged slowdown in the global or British economy may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks and other events could materially and adversely affect our business.

Severe weather conditions and other natural or man-made disasters, including storms, floods, fires, earthquakes, epidemics, pandemics, conflicts, unrest, or terrorist attacks, may disrupt our business and result in decreased revenues. Customers may reduce their demand for logistics services or shipments, or our costs to operate our business may increase, either of which could have a material adverse effect on us. Any such event affecting one of our major facilities could result in a significant interruption in or disruption of our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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 share price may be volatile.

Prior to the completion of this offering, our Ordinary Shares were not traded on any market. Any 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 our Ordinary Shares at a price equal to or greater than the price paid by you in this offering.

26
 

The following factors could affect our share price:

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, diver our management’s attention and resources and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

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.

27
 

Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering, you must rely on a price appreciation of the Ordinary Shares for a return on your investment.

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

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

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 make it more difficult for us to sell equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

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

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

28
 

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

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

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

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

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

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

29
 

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

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

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman. Shareholders of Cayman exempted companies have no general rights under Cayman law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. To the extent we choose to follow home country practice with respect to corporate governance matters, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.

30
 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

31
 

If the Nasdaq Capital Market does not list our securities or subsequently delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including:

 

 

The market price of our ordinary shares may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the public offering price.

The public offering price for our ordinary shares will be determined through negotiations between the underwriters and us and may vary from the market price of our ordinary shares following our public offering. If you purchase our ordinary shares in our public offering, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the public offering price. We cannot assure you that the public offering price of our ordinary shares, or the market price following our public offering, will equal or exceed prices in privately negotiated transactions of our shares that have occurred from time to time prior to our public offering. The market price of our ordinary shares may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. Stock prices of many companies have fluctuated in a manner unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. In the past, stockholders have filed securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. In the event that we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and adversely affect our business.

32
 

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

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of such net proceeds, including working capital, possible acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes, and we may spend or invest these proceeds in a way with which our stockholders disagree. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business and financial condition. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from our public offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. As of the date of this Prospectus, Management has not determined the types of businesses that the Company will target or the terms of any potential acquisition.

 We will incur additional costs as a result of becoming a public company, which could negatively impact our net income and liquidity.

Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company in the United States. As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, Sarbanes-Oxley and rules and regulations implemented by the SEC and the Nasdaq Capital Market require significantly heightened corporate governance practices for public companies. We expect that these rules and regulations will increase our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs and will make many corporate activities more time-consuming and costly.

We do not expect to incur materially greater costs as a result of becoming a public company than those incurred by similarly sized U.S. public companies. In the event that we fail to comply with these rules and regulations, we could become the subject of a governmental enforcement action, investors may lose confidence in us and the market price of our ordinary shares could decline.

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 publicly listed company in the United States. As a publicly listed company, we will be required to file annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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.-listed public company, we will be governed by U.S. laws that our competitors. To the extent compliance with U.S. laws increases our expenses or decreases our competitiveness against such companies, our public listing could affect our results of operations.

33
 

Our international operations are subject to a variety of legal, regulatory, political and economic risks.

Our international activities are significant to our revenues and profits, and we plan to further expand internationally. In certain international market segments, we have relatively little operating experience and may not benefit from any first-to-market advantages. It is costly to establish, develop, and maintain international operations, and promote our brand internationally. Our international operations may not become profitable on a sustained basis.

In addition, our international sales and operations are subject to a number of risks, including:

Local companies may have a substantial competitive advantage because of their greater understanding of, and focus on, the local customer, as well as their more established local brand names. The inability to hire, train, retain, and manage sufficient required personnel may limit our international growth.

34

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $16million after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses payable by us and based upon an assumed initial offering price of $4.00 per ordinary share (excluding any exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option).

that in no case would we decrease the initial public offering price to less than $4.00 per share.

 

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 some 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 imminently used for the above purposes, we intend to invest in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits or debt instruments.

36
 

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business.

 

Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, and capital requirements.

 

From time to time, we may also enter into other loan or credit agreements or similar borrowing arrangements that may further restrict our ability to declare or pay dividends on our common stock. Our board of directors will have sole discretion in making any future determination to pay dividends, subject to applicable laws, taking into account, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, and capital requirements.

37
 

 

MANAGEMENT

Directors and Executive Officers

The following table sets forth information regarding our directors and executive officers as of the date of this prospectus.

 

Board of Directors

Our board of directors will consist of five directors upon the SEC’s declaration of effectiveness of our registration statement on Form F-1 of which this prospectus is a part, one of whom is independent director within the meaning of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.

 

Subject to the Nasdaq rules and disqualification by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, a director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or transaction notwithstanding that he may be interested therein provided that the nature of the interest of any director in such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by him or her at or prior to its consideration and any vote on that matter, and if he or she does so his or her vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or transaction is considered. Our board of directors may exercise all the powers of the company to borrow money, mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and uncalled capital, and issue debentures, debenture stock and other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the company or of any third party. None of our directors has a service contract with us that provides for benefits upon termination of service as a director.

 

Board Committees

Prior to the completion of this offering, we intend to establish an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nomination and corporate governance committee under our board of directors. We intend to adopt a charter for each of the committees prior to the completion of this offering. Each committee’s members and functions are described below.

 

38
 

Audit Committee

The audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company. The audit committee is responsible for, among other things:

 

• appointing or removing the independent auditor and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditor;

 

• setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditor;

• reviewing with the independent auditor any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;

• reviewing and approving all related-party transactions;

• discussing the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditor;

• reviewing with management and the independent auditor the effect of key transactions, related-party transactions and off-balance sheet transactions and structures;

• reviewing with management and the independent auditor the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives;

• reviewing policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management;

• reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting;

• reviewing reports from the independent auditor regarding all critical accounting policies and practices to be used by our company;

• periodically reviewing and reassessing the adequacy of our audit committee charter;

• evaluating the performance, responsibilities, budget and staffing of our internal audit function and reviewing and approving the internal audit plan; and

• reporting regularly to the board of directors.

 

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our executive officers.

39
 

The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

 

• reviewing and approving, or recommending to the board for its approval, the compensation of our executive officers;

• reviewing and evaluating our executive compensation and benefits policies generally;

• in consultation with our chief executive officer, periodically reviewing our management succession planning;

• reporting to our board of directors periodically;

• evaluating its own performance and reporting to our board of directors on such evaluation;

• periodically reviewing and assessing the adequacy of the compensation committee charter and recommending any proposed changes to our board of directors; and • selecting compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to that person’s independence from management.

 

Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee

The nomination and corporate governance committee assists the board in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees. The nomination and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

 

• identifying and recommending to the board of directors qualified individuals for membership on the board of directors and its committees;

• evaluating, at least annually, its own performance and reporting to the board of directors on such evaluation;

• leading our board of directors in a self-evaluation to determine whether it and its committees are functioning effectively;

• reviewing the evaluations prepared by each board committee of such committee’s performance and considering any recommendations for proposed changes to our board of directors;

• reviewing and approving compensation (including equity-based compensation) for our directors;

• overseeing compliance with the corporate governance guidelines and code of business conduct and ethics and reporting on such compliance to the board of directors; and

• reviewing and assessing periodically the adequacy of its charter and recommending any proposed changes to the board of directors for approval.

 

Corporate Governance

Our board of directors has adopted a code of business conducts and ethics, which is applicable to all of our directors, officers, employees and advisors. We will make our code of business conducts and ethics publicly available on our website. In addition, our board of directors has adopted a set of corporate governance guidelines. The guidelines reflect certain guiding principles with respect to our board’s structure, procedures and committees. The guidelines are not intended to change or interpret any law, or our memorandum and articles of association, as amended from time to time. The code of business conducts and ethics and corporate governance guidelines all become effective upon completion of this offering.

40
 

 

Employment Agreements and Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our executive officers for a specified time period providing that the agreements are terminable for cause at any time. The terms of these agreement are substantially similar to each other. A senior executive officer may terminate his or her employment at any time by 30-day prior written notice. We may terminate the executive officer’s employment for cause, at any time, without advance notice or remuneration, for certain acts of the executive officer, such as conviction or plea of guilty to a felony or any crime involving moral turpitude, negligent or dishonest acts to our detriment, or misconduct or a failure to perform agreed duties.

 

Each executive officer has agreed to hold in strict confidence and not to use, except for the benefit of our company, any proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets and know-how of our company or the confidential or proprietary information of any third party, including our subsidiaries and our clients, received by our company. Each of these executive officers has also agreed to be bound by noncompetition and non-solicitation restrictions during the term of his or her employment and typically for two years following the last date of employment.

 

We expect to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, pursuant to which 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 officer.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock (i) as of and (ii) immediately following this offering, as adjusted to reflect the sale of shares of common stock by us, in each case, by the following individuals or groups:

(1)      each of our directors;

(2)      each of our named executive officers;

(3)      all of our directors and executive officers as a group;

(4)      each person, or group of affiliated persons, who is known by us to beneficially own more than 1% of our common stock.

41
 

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of this offering, we will have Ordinary Shares outstanding assuming the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares. Of that amount, Ordinary Shares will be publicly held by investors participating in this offering, and Ordinary Shares will be held by our existing shareholders, some of whom may be our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. As defined in Rule 144, an “affiliate” of an issuer is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the issuer. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. While we intend to list the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital market, we cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop in our Ordinary Shares.

 

Future sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public markets after this offering, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. As described below, only a limited number of our Ordinary Shares currently outstanding will be available for sale immediately after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, after these restrictions lapse, future sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary share, including ordinary share issued upon exercise of outstanding options, in the public market in the United States, or the possibility of such sales, could negatively affect the market price in the United States of our ordinary share and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

All of the ordinary shares sold in the offering will be freely transferable by persons other than our “affiliates” in the United States without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. Ordinary shares purchased by one of our “affiliates” may not be resold, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, including an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act described below.

 

The ordinary share held by existing shareholders are, and any ordinary share issuable upon exercise of options outstanding following the completion of this offering will be, “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities may be sold in the United States only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act. These rules are described below.
