5,000,000 Ordinary Shares

Micropolis Holding Company

We are offering 5,000,000 ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value per share (“Ordinary Shares”). Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares (the “Shares”). It is currently estimated that the initial public offering price per share will be between $4.00 and $5.00.

We intend to apply to list our Shares on the NYSE Group, or NYSE, under the symbol “MCRP.” At this time, NYSE has not yet approved our application to list our Ordinary Shares. The closing of this offering is conditioned upon NYSE’s final approval of our listing application, and there is no guarantee or assurance that our Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on NYSE.

Micropolis Holding Company is not an operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company with operations primarily conducted by its subsidiary. Investors in our Ordinary Shares thus are purchasing equity interest in a Cayman Islands holding company. Micropolis Holding Company directly holds equity interests in its subsidiary, and does not operate its business through variable interest entities. As used in this prospectus, “we,” “us,” “our company,” or “our” refers to Micropolis Holding Company and when describing the financial results of Micropolis Holding Company, also includes its subsidiary. This structure involves unique risks to investors. As a holding company, we may rely on dividends from our subsidiary for our cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to our shareholders. The ability of our subsidiary to pay dividends to us may be restricted by the debt they incur on their own behalf or laws and regulations applicable to them.

Investing in the shares involves risks. See section titled “Risk Factors” of this prospectus, beginning on page 17.

We are both an “emerging growth company” and a “foreign private issuer” under applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules and will be eligible for reduced public company disclosure requirements. See section titled “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an ‘Emerging Growth Company’ and a ‘Foreign Private Issuer’” for additional information.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

____________

(1)       Assuming an initial public offering price of $4.5 per Ordinary Share, being the mid-point of the estimated range of the initial public offering price.

(2)       The underwriters will receive compensation in addition to the discounts. For a description of compensation payable to the underwriters, see “Underwriting” beginning on page 115.

(3)       Does not include a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares, payable to the underwriters, or the reimbursement of certain expenses of the underwriters. We have agreed to issue, on the closing date of this offering, the underwriters’ warrants to the representative of the underwriters, Network1 Financial Securities, Inc., to purchase an amount equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares sold by us in this offering. These underwriters’ warrants will be exercisable at any time after the effective date of this registration statement at a price equal to 125% of the public offering price of the Ordinary Shares set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, may be exercised immediately on a cashless basis, and will expire five years from the commencement of sales of the offering. For a description of other terms of compensation to be received by the underwriters, see “Underwriting” beginning on page 115.

We expect our total cash expenses for this offering (including cash expenses payable to our underwriters for their out-of-pocket expenses) to be approximately $1,000,000, exclusive of the above discounts. These payments will further reduce proceeds available to us before expenses. See “Underwriting.”

This offering is being conducted on a firm commitment basis. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the shares if any such shares are taken. We have granted the underwriters an option for a period of forty-five (45) days after the closing of this offering to purchase up to 15% of the total number of our Shares to be offered by us pursuant to this offering (excluding shares subject to this option), solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts. If we complete this offering, net proceeds will be delivered to us on the closing date.

The underwriters expect to deliver the shares to purchasers against payment on            , 2025.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our Group does not have a long operating history as an integrated group.

Our Company was incorporated as a holding company on February 23, 2023. While the businesses of our subsidiary have been in operation since 2014, we do not have a long history of running an integrated group with standardized policies and procedures and on which our past performance may be judged. Given our limited operating history and the rapidly evolving market in which we compete, we may encounter operational, financial and other difficulties as we establish and expand our operations, product and service developments, sales and marketing, technology, and general and administrative capabilities.

There is substantial doubt as to whether we will continue operations. If we discontinue operations, you could lose your investment.

We are a pre-revenue organization since most of our existing projects are collaborative in nature and we do not anticipate earning substantial revenues until such time as we enter into commercial production for our robotics, which is expected to be by the second quarter of 2025. We were founded in 2014 and have a minimal operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, we continue to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and our auditors have issued a going concern opinion in their report included in this prospectus.

We anticipate that we will incur increased expenses without realizing enough revenues. We therefore expect to incur losses in the foreseeable future. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon our ability to enter into commercial production for our robotics. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in finding customers for our robotics and in generating revenues and profit in the future. Failure to generate revenues and profit will cause us to suspend or cease operations. If this happens, you could lose all or part of your investment.

Rapid advancements in robotics and AI technology can potentially outpace our current offerings. Failure to innovate could negatively affect our competitive edge.

The rapid pace of technological advancements in the robotics and AI industry presents a significant risk to the Company’s long-term success. As cutting-edge solutions emerge, there is a possibility that the Company’s current offerings may become outdated or less competitive. To mitigate this risk, the Company aims to allocate substantial resources to R&D, continuously monitor industry trends, and invest in exploring emerging technologies. Maintaining a culture of innovation and fostering collaborations with research institutions can help ensure the Company stays at

the forefront of the evolving landscape. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to innovate, and failure to do so could negatively affect our competitive edge, lead to a loss in market share and adversely affect our business and financial results.

We operate in a regulatory environment that is subject to change, as governments adapt to the implications of robotics and AI. This can affect how we develop and implement our technologies, and non-compliance could lead to fines or reputational damage.

Operating in a dynamic regulatory environment exposes the company to compliance risks. Governments worldwide are grappling with the implications of robotics and AI, leading to evolving regulations and policies. Non-compliance with these changing rules could result in financial penalties and reputational damage. To address this risk, we aim to establish robust compliance procedures, closely monitor regulatory updates, and engage in constructive dialogues with regulatory authorities. All these efforts will lead to an increase in our cost of compliance and thus our operating cost, which may negatively affect our financial results.

We may continue to incur losses in the future.

For the period ended June 30, 2024 and the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded net losses of $3.2 million, $3.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively. We anticipate that our operating expenses, together with the increased general administrative expenses of a public company, will increase in the foreseeable future as we seek to maintain and continue to grow our business, attract potential customers, and further enhance our service offering. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these higher expenses. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, we may incur net losses in the future and may be unable to achieve or maintain sufficient cash flows or profitability on a quarterly or annual basis for the foreseeable future.

We must maintain sufficient funding for R&D, marketing, and other operational costs. Financial risk could arise from fluctuations in sales, increased costs, or economic downturns. Decisions to raise capital could affect existing shareholders, while opting for debt financing might increase our risk profile.

Our financial stability is subject to various factors that could impact our ability to meet operational expenses and invest in crucial areas like research and development. Fluctuations in sales due to changing market conditions or unforeseen events, increased costs, or economic downturns can strain our financial position. Moreover, increased costs, such as rising raw material prices or higher manufacturing expenses, could erode profit margins, potentially hindering the Company’s growth and expansion plans. Economic downturns can further exacerbate these challenges, constraining our ability to access capital and potentially leading to liquidity issues.

To maintain sufficient funding, we may seek diverse funding options, such as debt financing. Taking on debt could lead to an increase in our overall leverage, potentially resulting in higher interest payments and debt-related expenses. As a result, a significant portion of our earnings may be allocated to service our debt, limiting the funds available for dividend distributions or reinvestment in growth initiatives.

New competitors may enter the robotics industry with competing products and services, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our competitors could significantly impede our ability to expand our network and to reach consumers. Our competitors may also develop and market new technologies that render our existing or future products and services less competitive, unmarketable or obsolete. In addition, if competitors develop products or services with similar or superior functionality to our products and services, we may need to decrease the prices for our products and services to remain competitive or our products or services developed by us may be branded or generic, becoming obsolete before they are marketed or before we recover a significant portion of the development and commercialization expenses incurred with respect to these products. If we are unable to maintain our current pricing structure due to competitive pressures, our revenue may be reduced, and our operating results may be negatively affected. Some of our larger competitors may be better able to respond more quickly with new technologies and to undertake more extensive marketing or promotional campaigns. If we are unable to compete with these companies, the demand for our products and services could substantially decline.

Also, if any of our competitors were to merge or partner with another of our competitors, the change in the competitive landscape could materially and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Our competitors may also establish or strengthen cooperative relationships with our current or future suppliers, technology partners or other parties with

whom we have relationships, thereby limiting our ability to develop, improve and promote our solutions. We may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, and competitive pressures may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may not be able to conduct our marketing activities effectively, properly, or at reasonable costs, which will have an impact on our business operations.

We invest resources in a variety of different marketing and brand promotion efforts designed to enhance our brand recognition and increase sales of our services and products. For the period ended June 30, 2024 and the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, our marketing and promotion expenses were approximately $198,000, $3,904 and $24,000, respectively, representing approximately 6.5%, 0.1% and 0.5% of our total expense, respectively. We leveraged relationship with our partners like Dubai Police to increase our brand awareness and showcased our products in various events throughout the period. Also we have active presence on various social media including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

We may not allocate significant resources to traditional marketing activities due to our focus on B2B communication and our established customer base. However, we recognize the importance of promoting our product to the public to increase awareness about its usability, benefits, and positive impact on people’s lives. Our marketing efforts will aim to educate and inform the public about our technology, ensuring that potential customers understand how our products can simplify and enhance their daily lives. By strategically targeting our promotional activities, we can maximize the effectiveness of our marketing efforts while maintaining reasonable costs.

While we seek to structure our promotional campaigns in the manner that we believe is most likely to encourage people to use our products and services, we may fail to identify advertising opportunities that satisfy our anticipated return on advertising spend as we scale our investments in marketing, accurately predict consumers’ acquisitions, or fully understand or estimate the conditions and behaviors that drive consumers’ behaviors. If for any reason any of our advertising campaigns prove less successful than anticipated in attracting new consumers, we may not be able to recover our advertising expense, and our rate of consumers acquisition may fail to meet market expectations, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business. There can be no assurance that our advertising and other marketing efforts will result in increased sales of our services and products.

Our business will be subject to risks associated with relying on a limited number of customers and suppliers.

Our business will be subject to risks associated with relying on a limited number of customers and suppliers. As we are a pre-revenue company, we did not have any customers until January 2023. Moreover, we develop major components of our robotics in-house. However, since our business is collaboration-based and each of our robotics is customized to meet our partners’ needs, we expect to have a limited number of customers and suppliers in the future once we start to generate substantial revenue. Given that our business will depend on a few customers and suppliers, any changes in the relationships with these future customers and suppliers, such as the loss of a major client or reduced orders, could significantly impact our financial stability and growth prospects. Similarly, a disruption in the supply chain, such as a supplier failing to deliver crucial components on time or of the required quality, could hamper our production schedule and impact product quality. This dependence on a limited pool may also expose us to risks from changes in market conditions, such as price fluctuations or supply shortages. Although we plan to continuously work towards diversifying our customer base and supplier network, maintaining high-quality service and products, and developing strong relationships with multiple reliable suppliers, unforeseen disruptions can still occur, and our business operations and financial conditions may be adversely affected.

Misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property and proprietary rights, enforcement actions to protect our intellectual property and claims from third parties relating to intellectual property could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Litigation regarding intellectual property rights is common in the technology industries. We expect that robotics technologies and software products and services may be increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims as the number of competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. Our ability to compete depends upon our proprietary technology. While we rely on intellectual property laws, confidentiality agreements and technical measures to protect our proprietary rights, we believe that the technical and creative skills of our personnel, continued development of our proprietary systems and technology and brand name

recognition are essential in establishing a leadership position and strengthening our brands. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our services or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary rights is difficult and may be expensive. We can provide no assurance that the steps we take will prevent misappropriation of technology or that the agreements entered into for that purpose will be enforceable. Effective trademarks, service mark, patent, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available when we first introduce our products. In addition, if litigation becomes necessary to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity, such litigation, even if successful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

We also cannot provide any assurance that our products and services do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties. Claims of infringement, even if unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. If unsuccessful, we may be subject to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and monetary damages, which may be trebled in the case of willful infringements.

We do not exclusively own 100% of all intellectual property and technologies that we develop in the projects with our partners, which may adversely affect our ability to effectively utilize and monetize such intellectual property and technologies in our business operations.

One significant aspect of our business model involves partnering with various companies and government entities to develop customized robotics solutions for specific tasks. These collaborative projects often entail the joint development of intellectual property and related technologies. In certain cases, the collaboration agreements may stipulate that the ownership of such intellectual property and technologies will be shared between our partners and our Company. For example, in our partnership with Dubai Police for the development of self-driving cars, intellectual property used in the programs operating the self-driving cars is considered joint intellectual property; and in our partnership with QSS Robotics, QSS Robotics owns the intellectual property related to product design while we own patents or hardware design rights.

As a result of these arrangements, our Company does not exclusively own 100% of all intellectual property developed within such projects. This shared ownership of intellectual property and related technology could have implications on our ability to fully monetize or independently commercialize the developed intellectual property. It might also impact our control over the direction and application of the technology. Additionally, decisions regarding the use, licensing, or further development of these jointly owned intellectual property may require consensus with our partners, which could potentially lead to delays or differences in strategic priorities.

As a robotics company operating in a digital era, we face significant cybersecurity risks that could have adverse implications for our business, reputation and stakeholders.

Cybersecurity threats, such as data breaches, hacking attempts, and malware attacks, pose an imminent danger to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our sensitive information and proprietary technologies. In particular, we have highlighted the following specific threats that may happen to us:

•        System intrusions:    Although our operational and security systems operate behind our clients’ firewalls, they may still be exposed to potential cybersecurity threats. Intruders may seek to infiltrate these systems, disrupt operations, or access sensitive data. System vulnerabilities could be exploited if not adequately protected.

•        Software vulnerabilities:    Our integrated software in the robots and other products can also be a target for cyber threats. These threats can take many forms, from injecting malicious code to exploiting software vulnerabilities to disrupt robot functioning or compromise data integrity.

•        Data privacy and protection:    The data collected and processed by our products or software, whether personal or proprietary, is another potential cybersecurity risk. Unprotected or inadequately protected data can be a target for unauthorized access, misuse, or theft, leading to breaches of privacy and potential legal repercussions.

•        Monitoring and control:    Despite our robots’ fleets being monitored from an operations room 24/7, there is still a risk of undetected cyber threats. Sophisticated attackers could potentially bypass detection systems or operate in ways that appear normal to avoid raising alarms.

•        Supply chain threats:    Cybersecurity risks can also arise from the supply chain. If any of our suppliers or partners are compromised, it could potentially affect our systems or products.

•        Advanced persistent threats:    Given the critical nature of our operations, we could be targeted by advanced persistent threats. These are stealthy and continuous hacking processes orchestrated by individuals or groups targeting specific data or infrastructures.

We employ a robust cybersecurity strategy that includes regular system updates and patches, stringent data protection protocols, sophisticated threat detection and response systems, and continuous cybersecurity awareness training for our employees. Our commitment to cybersecurity is unwavering, and we continually strive to stay ahead of potential threats to protect our operations, products, and the valuable data we handle. However, we cannot assure you that we can avert all cyber threats and a successful cyber-attack, or any other cyber security incident could result in the theft or unauthorized disclosure of our intellectual property, customer data, or confidential business information, which could disrupt our operations, and lead to financial losses, damage to our reputation and potential legal liabilities. The evolving nature of cyber threats poses an ongoing challenge to us. The emergence of new attack vectors and sophisticated hacking techniques demands continuous investment and training. Failure to keep up with these evolving threats expose us to greater risks.

We face the inherent risk of unproven market demand for our products and services.

As an early player in the robotics industry in the UAE, we face the inherent risk of unproven market demand for our products and services. The market for AMR solutions is relatively new and evolving, with limited historical data to accurately predict customer preferences and long-term adoption trends. The lack of a well-established market for AMR products in the UAE presents challenges in accurately assessing customer needs and preferences. The demand for AMR solutions may be influenced by factors such as the pace of technological advancements, customer awareness, regulatory developments, and economic conditions. A failure to accurately gauge market demand could lead to overproduction or misallocation of resources, resulting in potential financial losses and excess inventory.

As a robotics company, we are exposed to the risk of software malfunctions and design flaws in our AMR products.

Despite rigorous testing and quality assurance measures, the complexity of robotics software and the ever-evolving technology landscape can lead to unforeseen issues that may adversely impact our operations and reputation. Software malfunctions in AMR products could result in unexpected behavior, causing robots to deviate from intended paths, fail to perform critical tasks, or lead to collisions with objects or personnel. Such malfunctions may disrupt workflows, delay operations, and potentially lead to property damage or safety incidents. Any incident involving our robots could lead to reputational damage, customer dissatisfaction, and potential legal liabilities.

Design flaws in robotics software may lead to inefficiencies, suboptimal performance, or vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. Security vulnerabilities in the software could expose sensitive customer data or proprietary information, leading to data breaches and potential regulatory non-compliance. A successful cyber-attack on our AMR products could compromise their functionalities and affect our customers’ trust in our technology. Furthermore, the introduction of new features or software updates may inadvertently introduce unforeseen issues or compatibility challenges with existing systems. Incompatibility or software conflicts could cause downtime, negatively impacting customer operations, and eroding trust in our products.

In the rapidly evolving robotics industry, unforeseen design flaws or software malfunctions may necessitate the recall or modification of our AMR products, leading to substantial financial and operational costs. Delays in addressing such issues could result in missed business opportunities, potential loss of market share, and decreased customer confidence.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to successfully develop and launch new products, services or grow our complementary product or service offerings.

While our current focus is on developing two types of AMRs and the related software bundle to cater to specific customer needs, we cannot provide assurance that we will continue to successfully develop and launch new products.

Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to continue enhancing and improving the value of our products and services, with a focus on the development of electronic control units, mechanical systems, and autonomous driving systems for our AMRs. We believe that these advancements will further strengthen our offerings and contribute to our market competitiveness.

The development of our services and products is complex and costly, and we typically have several services and products development simultaneously. Given the complexity, we occasionally have experienced, and could experience in the future, delays in completing the development and introduction of new and enhanced services and products. Problems in the design or quality of our services or products may also have an adverse effect on our brand, business, financial condition, and operating results. Unanticipated problems in developing products and services could also divert substantial research and development resources, which may impair our ability to develop new services and products and enhancements of existing services and products and could substantially increase our costs. If we fail to continue to successfully launch new value-add products and services or to enter new, complementary markets successfully, or to do either of the foregoing in a cost-effective manner, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Our business is dependent on keeping pace with advances in technology. If we are unable to keep pace with advances in technology, consumers may stop using our services and our revenues will decrease. If we are required to invest substantial amounts in technology, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Our business relies on staying at the forefront of technological advancements. It is crucial for us to keep pace with these advances to maintain consumer trust in our products and services. Failure to do so may result in reduced consumer confidence, making it challenging to achieve our revenue projections, which could eventually lead to a decrease in our revenues. Furthermore, significant investments in technology may be necessary, and if such investments are required, they may have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The robotics markets are characterized by rapid technological change, changes in user and customer requirements, frequent new service and product introductions embodying new technologies, including Level 4 autonomous system and advanced control units such as the EV main control unit that is built on an automotive grade microcontroller such as Nvidia AJX Orin, Infineon AURIX and STM ARM Cortex M7 alongside drive/steer/break-by-wire based platform, and the emergence of new industry standards and practices that could render our products, services, and technologies obsolete. These market characteristics are intensified by the emerging nature of the market and the fact that many companies are expected to introduce new Internet products and services in the near future. If we are unable to adapt to changing technologies, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Recruiting and retaining talent in the highly specialized fields of AI and robotics is a challenge we face. The departure of key personnel could disrupt our operations and slow our pace of innovation.

Our success depends, in part, upon the continuing contributions of key employees, including our Chief Executive Officer Fareed Aljawhari, and our continuing ability to attract, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified and skilled personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key employees or the failure to attract or replace qualified personnel may have a material and adverse effect on our business.

The limited pool of experienced robotics and AI experts in the UAE can make it challenging to find suitable candidates with the required expertise to drive our research, development, and operational initiatives. Additionally, increased demand from various industries and emerging technology sectors may intensify the competition for qualified professionals, making talent acquisition a complex and resource-intensive process.

Retaining top talent is equally crucial, as our success heavily relies on the innovative contributions and knowledge of our skilled workforce. The talent retention risk is amplified by the emergence of international job opportunities and the potential for employees to seek higher compensation or career growth elsewhere. Losing key personnel may disrupt ongoing projects, slow down innovation, and negatively impact our competitive edge.

We may enter into strategic acquisitions, investments and partnerships which could pose various risks, increase our leverage, dilute existing shareholders and significantly impact our ability to expand our overall profitability.

We may enter into strategic acquisitions, investments, and partnerships; these carry inherent risks, including potential increased leverage and dilution of existing shareholders. Nevertheless, our steadfast commitment to maintaining profitability and sustaining a consistent growth trajectory guides our decision-making process in pursuing such opportunities.

Acquisitions involve inherent risks, such those relating to increased leverage and debt service requirements and post-acquisition integration challenges, which could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and/or cash flow and could strain our human resources. We may be unable to successfully implement effective cost controls or achieve expected synergies as a result of a future acquisition. Acquisitions may result in our assumption of unexpected liabilities and the diversion of management’s attention from the operation of our business. Acquisitions may also result in our having greater exposure to the industry risks of the businesses underlying the acquisition. Strategic investments and partnerships with other companies expose us to the risk that we may not be able to control the actions of our investees or partners, which could decrease the amount of benefits we realize from a particular relationship. We are also exposed to the risk that our partners in strategic investments and infrastructure may encounter financial difficulties that could lead to a disruption of investee or partnership activities, or an impairment of assets acquired, which could adversely affect future reported results of operations and shareholders’ equity. Acquisitions may subject us to new or different regulations or tax consequences which could have an adverse effect on our operations.

In addition, we may be unable to obtain the financing necessary to complete acquisitions on attractive terms or at all. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our Ordinary Shares. Future equity financings would also decrease our earnings per share and the benefits derived by us from such new ventures or acquisitions might not outweigh or exceed their dilutive effect. Any additional debt financing we secure could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital or to pursue business opportunities. Realization of any of the foregoing risks associated with future strategic acquisitions, investments and partnerships could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Industry consolidation may give our competitors an advantage over us, which could result in a loss of customers and/or a reduction of our revenue.

Some of our competitors have made or may make acquisitions or enter into partnerships or other strategic relationships in order to offer more comprehensive services or achieve greater economies of scale. In addition, new entrants who are not currently considered competitors may enter our market through acquisitions, partnerships or strategic relationships. Many potential entrants may have competitive advantages over us, such as greater name recognition, longer operating histories, more varied services, and larger marketing budgets, as well as greater financial, technical, and other resources. Industry consolidation may result in practices that make it more difficult for us to compete effectively, including on the basis of price, sales and marketing programs, technology or services functionality. These pressures could result in a reduction in our revenue.

As an emerging industry, the potential risks of industry consolidation remain uncertain for our company in the long term. While some competitors may pursue acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic relationships to enhance their services and gain economies of scale, it is unclear if these actions will pose a significant threat to our customer base and revenue. Moreover, new entrants may enter the market through similar means, leveraging their advantages such as brand recognition, operating experience, diverse services, larger marketing budgets, and greater financial and technical resources. Industry consolidation could introduce competitive practices that hinder our ability to effectively compete in terms of pricing, sales and marketing programs, technology, and service functionality, potentially impacting our revenue. However, the full extent of these pressures is yet to be determined.

Negative publicity relating to our Group or our Directors, Executive Officers or Major Shareholders may materially and adversely affect our reputation and Share price.

Negative publicity or announcements relating to our Group or any of our Directors, Executive Officers or Major Shareholders, whether with or without merit, may materially and adversely affect the reputation and goodwill of our Group in our industry, consequently affecting our relationships with our customers and car dealers. In addition, such negative publicity may affect market perception of our Group and the performance of our Share price.

Negative publicity or announcements may include, among others, newspaper reports of accidents at our workplaces, unsuccessful attempts in joint ventures, acquisitions or take-overs, any involvement we may have in litigation or insolvency proceedings, and unfavorable or negative articles on any of our Directors, Executive Officers or Major Shareholders. Any claims and legal actions brought forward by our customers may also have a negative impact on our

brand image. If our customers, suppliers, or subcontractors subsequently lose confidence in us, this could result in the termination of business relationships or fewer referrals or invitations to tender or quote for facilities services or other contracts. To this end, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely impacted.

We may be exposed to liabilities under applicable anti-corruption laws and any determination that we violated these laws could have a materially adverse effect on our business.

We are subject to various anti-corruption laws, including the UAE Federal Law No. 3 of 1987 referred to as Civil Service Law, that prohibit companies and their agents from making improper payments or offers of payments for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We may conduct business in countries and regions that are generally recognized as potentially more corrupt business environments. Activities in these countries create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of our employees or agents that could be in violation of various anti-corruption laws. We cannot provide assurance that our internal controls and compliance systems will always protect us from acts committed by our employees or agents. If our employees or agents violate our policies or we fail to maintain adequate record keeping and internal accounting practices to accurately record our transactions, we may be subject to regulatory sanctions. Violations of the Article 236 bis of the Penal Code or other anti-corruption laws, or allegations of any such acts, could damage our reputation and subject us to civil or criminal investigations in the United States and in other jurisdictions. Those and any related shareholder lawsuits could lead to substantial civil and criminal, monetary and nonmonetary penalties and cause us to incur significant legal and investigatory fees which could adversely affect our business, combined financial condition and results of operations.

Operating in the field of robotics and AI, we face risks associated with potential governmental and regulatory scrutiny.

Operating in the field of robotics and AI, we face risks associated with potential governmental and regulatory scrutiny. As these technologies evolve, so do the regulations governing their use, especially in the realm of data privacy. As our solutions involve collecting, processing, and storing data, we are subject to stringent data protection laws. These laws vary by jurisdiction, and non-compliance could lead to significant financial penalties, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. Additionally, new legislation or changes in current laws could impose further restrictions or requirements on our operations. This evolving regulatory landscape necessitates constant vigilance to ensure we remain compliant. We have implemented rigorous data handling and privacy protocols, and we continually monitor regulatory changes. However, the complexities of global data privacy regulations and the rapid pace of change in AI technology may still present challenges.

We operate in jurisdictions such as the UAE and GCC and potentially Europe and the USA, each with its own unique data protection laws and regulations. These laws govern how we can collect, use, and share data for developing and training our AI algorithms. The risk lies in the potential for existing and future legislation to restrict our ability to gather the necessary data, thus impacting our product development and optimization. For instance, stringent data privacy laws could limit the scope of data collection or impose rigorous consent requirements, slowing down our AI training process. Additionally, cross-border data transfer rules may hinder our ability to share data across our operations in different regions. As our flagship products rely heavily on real-time data analysis, any such restrictions could affect their performance and effectiveness. We are actively implementing comprehensive data governance frameworks, and continuously monitoring legal changes in our operating jurisdictions. However, unpredictability in regulatory changes and variations in global data privacy regulations present ongoing challenges to our operations.

We face various environmental risks inherent in our operations and product development.

Critical environmental risks we face lie in resource consumption, waste generation and disposal during the manufacturing and utilization of robotics products. One significant risk lies in the consumption of natural resources during the manufacturing and use of robotics products. High demand for components and materials may lead to resource depletion, increasing costs and causing supply chain disruptions. The overutilization of resources could also lead to environmental degradation and contribute to broader sustainability challenges. Another critical environmental risk involves the generation and disposal of electronic waste (“E-Waste”) from outdated or malfunctioning robots. Inadequate disposal practices can result in environmental pollution, leading to potential health hazards and ecological harm. Mishandling E-Waste may attract regulatory scrutiny and legal penalties, in addition to harming our reputation and brand image. Managing the product lifecycle effectively is vital to minimize environmental harm. Improper

disposal of end-of-life robots can lead to environmental pollution, contribute to electronic waste accumulation, and perpetuate resource inefficiency. Such negative impacts may attract public scrutiny and erode stakeholder trust, potentially affecting investor confidence and market perception.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Certain Countries and Regions

Investments in emerging markets are subject to greater risks than those in more developed markets.

You should also be aware that investments in emerging markets, such as the GCC region, are subject to greater risks than those in more developed markets, including risks such as:

•        political, social and economic instability;

•        exposure to local economic and social conditions, including cultural and communication challenges;

•        exposure to local political conditions, including political disputes, requirements to expend a portion of funds locally, and government-imposed industrial cooperation requirements, as well as increased risks of fraud and political corruption;

•        exposure to potentially undeveloped legal systems which make it difficult to enforce contractual rights and to potentially adverse changes in laws and regulatory practices, including licensing, approvals, grants, adjudications, and concessions, among others;

•        war, terrorism, rebellion, coup, revolution or similar events;

•        drought, famine, epidemics, pandemics and other complications due to natural or manmade disasters;

•        governments’ actions or interventions, including tariffs, protectionism, subsidies, various forms of exchange controls, expropriation of assets and cancellation of contractual rights;

•        boycotts and embargoes that may be imposed by the international community on countries in which we offer our mobile applications;

•        ambiguities, uncertainties and changes in taxation, licensing and other laws and regulations;

•        arbitrary or inconsistent government action, including capricious application of tax laws and selective tax audits;

•        controls on the repatriation of profits and/or dividends, including the imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries;

•        difficulties and delays in obtaining new permits, licenses and consents for business operations or renewing existing ones;

•        difficulties or an inability to obtain legal remedies in a timely manner;

•        compliance with a variety of US and other foreign laws, including (i) compliance (historical and future) with the requirements of applicable anti-bribery laws, including the UK Bribery Act 2010 and the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977; and (ii) compliance (historical and future) with sanctions and export control provisions (including the US Export Administration Regulations) in several jurisdictions, including the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States; and

•        potential lack of reliability as to title to real property in certain jurisdictions.

Although the GCC region has enjoyed significant economic growth over the last several years, there can be no assurance that such growth will continue. Moreover, while certain governments’ policies have generally resulted in improved economic performance, there can be no assurance that such a level of performance can be sustained.

Accordingly, you should exercise particular care in evaluating the risks involved and must decide whether, in the light of those risks, your investment is appropriate. Generally, investment in emerging markets is only suitable for sophisticated investors who fully appreciate the significance of the risks involved.

Investing in GCC markets, particularly in the technology sector, carries certain risks that should be taken into consideration. Some of the key risks include:

1.      Regulatory Environment:    The regulatory landscape in GCC countries may vary, and changes in regulations or government policies can impact the investment climate. It is essential to stay updated on regulations related to foreign investments, technology transfers, intellectual property rights, and data privacy.

2.      Economic and Political Stability:    GCC markets are subject to geopolitical tensions and economic fluctuations. Political instability, regional conflicts, or changes in government policies can affect the business environment and investor confidence, however its evident that the local governments policies are focusing on their economic growth and avoiding political conflicts.

3.      Market Maturity:    While GCC markets are rapidly growing, the technology sector may still be in its early stages of development. The level of market maturity, infrastructure, and adoption rates for certain technologies can vary across different countries within the GCC region.

4.      Competitive Landscape:    The tech industry in the GCC region is becoming increasingly competitive, with local and international players vying for market share. Understanding the competitive landscape and differentiating your offering is crucial to succeed in this dynamic market.

5.      Talent Availability:    Finding skilled and experienced talent, particularly in specialized tech fields, can be a challenge in certain GCC countries. Assessing the availability of qualified professionals and building a strong team is vital for the success of tech investments, however the GCC countries have succeeded for decades to attract talents and competencies by offering high wages and unique lifestyle as well as wellbeing and comfort of life.

6.      Cultural Considerations:    Cultural norms and business practices in the GCC region may differ from other markets. Adapting to local customs, building relationships, and understanding the local business culture can contribute to successful investments, however the government of UAE and recently Saudi Arabia are adopting more western related culture to make it easier for expats with western cultures to adapt with the local culture.

The economies of a number of our markets in the GCC region are highly dependent upon the oil and gas industry.

The UAE’s economy as well as a number of other economies within the GCC region are highly dependent upon the oil and gas industry. Oil and gas prices fluctuate in response to changes in many factors, including, but not limited to:

•        economic and political developments in oil producing regions;

•        global and regional supply and demand, and expectations regarding future supply and demand, for oil and gas products;

•        the ability of members of OPEC and other crude oil producing nations to agree upon and maintain specified global production levels and prices;

•        the impact of international environmental regulations designed to reduce carbon emissions;

•        actions taken by major crude oil and gas producing or consuming countries;

•        prices and availability of alternative fuels;

•        global economic and political conditions;

•        development of new technologies; and

•        global weather and environmental conditions.

Oil prices declined significantly beginning in June 2014, and although prices have recovered in 2018, they have remained volatile with periodic declines since October 2018, including during the first quarter of 2020. If oil prices decline again, this is likely to have an adverse effect on the GDP and other economic indicators of oil producing

markets, such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and may also negatively impact consumer confidence and purchasing power, resulting in lower overall expenditure by mobile users, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business may be adversely affected by changes in government policies, laws and regulations in the UAE.

Our operating subsidiary in the UAE, Micropolis Dubai, functions as our primary business operation center and engages in sales, customer service and other business operations. As such, our business may be adversely affected by changes in government policies, laws and regulations in the UAE.

On January 16, 2023, the Ministry of Finance introduced a 9% federal corporate tax regime for the first time in the UAE to be applied on the adjusted accounting net profits of a business above AED 375,000, which came into effect on 1 June 2023. Micropolis Dubai is not currently subject to corporate income tax in the UAE as its net profits do not currently meet the AED 375,000 threshold.

Moreover, value added tax, or VAT, was introduced in the UAE on January 1, 2018, at a rate of 5%. The relevant legislation provides that electronic services that are automatically delivered over the Internet, over an electronic network or over an electronic marketplace are not subject to VAT in the UAE, if such electronic services are used or enjoyed outside of the UAE. The introduction of VAT in the UAE has not had a material impact on our business. However, any further change in VAT in the UAE could increase the costs for users to purchase our virtual currencies and may reduce user spending as a result, which could adversely affect our revenue.

In addition, the AED, which is the legal currency of the UAE, has been pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725 AEDs per U.S. dollar since November 1997. However, there can be no assurance that the AED will not be de-pegged in the future or that the existing peg will not be adjusted in a manner that negatively impacts the level of economic activities in the UAE or negatively impacts the attractiveness of the UAE as a tourist destination, both of which are important factors that drive the level of payments by users from the UAE. Any such de-pegging or adjustment could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The economic, political, and social conditions in the GCC region, as well as government policies, laws, and regulations, could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are headquartered in the UAE. The GCC region is our key market, and we must comply with the applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions of the GCC region. The regulatory bodies in the GCC region may not be as fully matured and as established as those of Western Europe and the United States. Existing laws and regulations may be applied inconsistently with anomalies in their interpretation or implementation. Inconsistent interpretation or implementation in relation to existing laws and regulations could restrict our ability to offer our mobile platform in the relevant jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our failure to obtain, maintain or renew licenses, approvals, permits, registrations, or filings necessary to conduct our operations could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Regulatory authorities in various jurisdictions oversee different aspects of our business operations. We are required to obtain a number of licenses, approvals, permits, registrations, and filings and are subject to certain reporting obligations required for maintaining our subsidiary and personnel in such jurisdictions. We cannot assure you that we have obtained all of these licenses, approvals, permits, registrations, and filings or will continue to maintain or renew all of them or that we have complied with these requirements in full. If we fail to obtain necessary authorizations, we may be subject to various penalties, such as confiscation of illegal revenues, fines and discontinuation or restriction of business operations, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our existing licenses, approvals, registrations or permits in the relevant jurisdictions, renew any of them when their current term expires, or update existing licenses or obtain additional licenses, approvals, permits, registrations, or filings necessary for our business expansion from time to time. If we fail to do so, our business, financial conditions and operational results may be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares

An active trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not develop and could affect the trading price of our Ordinary Shares.

Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. Although an application has been made to NYSE for the listing and quotation of our Ordinary Shares, there can be no assurance that there will be an active, liquid public market for our Ordinary Shares after the Offering. The lack of an active market may impair your ability to sell your Ordinary Shares at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable. The lack of an active market may also reduce the fair market value of your Ordinary Shares. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling Ordinary Shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our Ordinary Shares as consideration. The initial public offering price was determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of the future prices of our Ordinary Shares.

Our share price may fluctuate significantly in the future, and you may lose all or part of your investment, and litigation may be brought against us.

There is no assurance that the market price for our Ordinary Shares will not decline below the Offer Price. The Offer Price was determined after consultation between our Company and the underwriter, after taking into consideration, among others, market conditions and estimated market demand for our Ordinary Shares. The Offer Price may not necessarily be indicative of the market price for our Ordinary Shares after the completion of the Offering. Investors may not be able to sell their Ordinary Shares at or above the Offer Price. The prices at which our Ordinary Shares will trade after the Offering may fluctuate significantly and rapidly as a result of, among others, the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:

•        variation in our results of operations;

•        perceived prospects and future plans for our business and the general outlook of our industry;

•        changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our results of operations and recommendations;

•        announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint ventures or capital commitments;

•        the valuation of publicly traded companies that are engaged in business activities similar to ours;

•        additions or departures of key personnel;

•        fluctuations in stock market prices and volume;

•        involvement in litigation;

•        general economic and stock market conditions; and

•        discrepancies between our actual operating results and those expected by investors and securities analysts.

There is no guarantee that our Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased the Ordinary Shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares and you may even lose your entire investment in our Ordinary Shares.

In addition, the stock markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of securities. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of publicly traded companies. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company’s securities, an investor may lose all or part of his or her investment, and litigation has sometimes been brought against that company. If similar litigation is instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs and divert our senior management’s attention and resources from our core business.

Investors in our Ordinary Shares likely will face immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share and may experience future dilution.

The Offer Price is likely to be substantially higher than our Group’s current net tangible book value per share. If we were liquidated immediately following this Offering, each investor subscribing for this Offering would receive less than the price they paid for their Ordinary Shares. Please refer to the section titled “Dilution” of this prospectus for more information.

Our Ordinary Shares may trade under $5.00 per share and thus would be known as “penny stock”. Trading in penny stocks has certain restrictions and these restrictions could negatively affect the price and liquidity of our Ordinary Shares.

Our Ordinary Shares may trade below $5.00 per share. As a result, our Ordinary Shares would be known as “penny stock,” which is subject to various regulations involving disclosures to be given to you prior to the purchase of any penny stock. The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our Ordinary Shares could be considered to be “penny stock.” A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell these securities to persons other than accredited investors. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities. In addition, a broker/dealer must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase and must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell our Ordinary Shares and may negatively affect the ability of holders of our Ordinary Shares to resell them. These disclosures require you to acknowledge that you understand the risks associated with buying penny stocks and that you can absorb the loss of your entire investment. Penny stocks generally do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the shares is often volatile, and you may not be able to buy or sell your shares when you want to.

We may require additional funding in the form of equity or debt for our future growth which will cause dilution in Shareholders’ equity interest.

We may pursue opportunities to grow our business through joint ventures, strategic alliances, acquisitions, or investment opportunities, following the Offering. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional funding on terms that are acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to do so, our future plans and growth may be adversely affected.

An issue of Ordinary Shares or other securities to raise funds will dilute Shareholders’ equity interests and may, in the case of a rights issue, require additional investments by Shareholders. Further, the issue of Ordinary Shares below the then prevailing market price will also affect the value of the Ordinary Shares then held by investors.

Dilution in Shareholders’ equity interests may occur even if the issue of shares is at a premium to the market price. In addition, any additional debt funding may restrict our freedom to operate our business as it may have conditions that:

•        limit our ability to pay dividends or require us to seek consents for the payment of dividends;

•        increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•        require us to dedicate a portion of our cash flow from operations to repayments of our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes; and

•        limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry.

The volatility or uncertainty of the credit markets could limit our ability to borrow funds or cause our borrowings to be more expensive in the future. As such, we may be forced to pay unattractive interest rates, thereby increasing our interest expense, decreasing our profitability, and reducing our financial flexibility if we take on additional debt financing.

Investors may not be able to participate in future issues or certain other equity issues of our Ordinary Shares.

In the event that we issue new Ordinary Shares, we will be under no obligation to offer those Ordinary Shares to our existing Shareholders at the time of issue, except where we elect to conduct a rights issue. However, in electing to conduct a rights issue or certain other equity issues, we will have the discretion and may also be subject to certain regulations as to the procedures to be followed in making such rights available to Shareholders or in disposing of such rights for the benefit of such Shareholders and making the net proceeds available to them.

Accordingly, certain Shareholders may be unable to participate in future equity offerings by us and may experience dilution in their shareholdings as a result.

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

Subject to the Cayman Islands laws and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles, our Board of Directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. In addition, our Shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our Directors. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our Board of Directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from the operating entities, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, and results of operations, and hence there is no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends to our Shareholders after the completion of the Offering. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares. There is no guarantee that our Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased the Ordinary Shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares and you may even lose your entire investment in our Ordinary Shares. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business and to repay indebtedness and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, we do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our Ordinary Shares as a source for any future dividend income.

If we fail to meet applicable listing requirements, NYSE may delist our Ordinary Shares from trading, in which case the liquidity and market price of our Ordinary Shares could decline.

Assuming our Ordinary Shares are listed on NYSE on the closing of the Offering, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the continued listing standards of NYSE in the future. If we fail to comply with the applicable listing standards and NYSE delists our Ordinary Shares, we and our Shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

•        a limited availability of market quotations for our Ordinary Shares;

•        reduced liquidity for our Ordinary Shares;

•        a determination that our Ordinary Shares are “penny stock,” which would require brokers trading in our Ordinary Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Ordinary Shares;

•        a limited amount of news about us and analyst coverage of us; and

•        a decreased ability for us to issue additional equity securities or obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or pre-empts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because we expect that our Ordinary Shares will be listed on NYSE, such securities will be covered securities. Although the states are pre-empted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a

suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were no longer listed on NYSE, our securities would not be covered securities, and we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our securities.

We will incur significant expenses and devote other significant resources and management time as a result of being a public company, which may negatively impact our financial performance and could cause our results of operations and financial condition to suffer.

We will incur significant legal, accounting, insurance, and other expenses as a result of being a public company. Laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure for public companies, including the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, regulations related thereto and the rules and regulations of the SEC and NYSE, will significantly increase our costs as well as the time that must be devoted to compliance matters. We expect that compliance with these laws, rules, regulations, and standards will substantially increase our expenses, including our legal and accounting costs, and make some of our operating activities costlier and more time-consuming. These new public company obligations also will require attention from our senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business. We also expect these laws, rules, regulations, and standards to make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our Board of Directors or as officers. As a result of the foregoing, we expect a substantial increase in legal, accounting, insurance, and certain other expenses in the future, which will negatively impact our financial performance and could cause our results of operations and financial condition to suffer. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our Shares, fines, sanctions and other regulatory actions and potential civil litigation.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce accurate financial statements in time or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal disclosure controls and procedures over our financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we will file with the SEC will be recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods and as otherwise specified in SEC rules, and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal Executive Officers and financial officers. We are also continuing to improve our internal controls over financial reporting.

Ensuring that we have effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting in place so that we can produce accurate financial statements on a timely basis is a costly and time-consuming effort that will need to be re-evaluated frequently. Our internal control over financial reporting are a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS. Beginning with our second annual report on Form 20-F after we become a company whose securities are publicly listed in the United States, we will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will be required to include an attestation report on internal controls over financial reporting issued by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. During our evaluation of our internal controls, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, we will be unable to assert that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. We cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain internal controls over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition, or results of operations.

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for so long as we remain an emerging growth company. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important.

The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such a date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. The extended transition period provision only applies to companies preparing financial statements under U.S. GAAP. Because we prepare our financial statements in accordance with IFRS, we are unable to take advantage of the aforementioned provision. As a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required or permitted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We qualify as a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we will not be subject to U.S. proxy rules and will be subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that permit less detailed and less frequent reporting than that of a U.S. domestic public company.

Upon the closing of this Offering, we will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including (i) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (ii) 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 (iii) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events. 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. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within seventy-five (75) days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers also are exempt from Regulation Fair Disclosure, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are not foreign private issuers.

If we lose our status as a foreign private issuer, we would be required to comply with the Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirements for foreign private issuers. We may also be required to make changes in our corporate governance practices in accordance with various SEC and NYSE rules. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws if we are required to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher than the cost we would incur as a foreign private issuer. As a result, we expect that a loss of foreign private issuer status would increase our legal and financial compliance costs and would make some activities highly time-consuming and costly. We also expect that if we were required to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, it would make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain and maintain directors and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our Board of Directors.

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

As discussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter. We would lose our foreign private issuer status if, for example, more than 50% of our Ordinary Shares are directly or indirectly held by residents of the United States and we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to maintain our foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status on this date, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, Directors and Major 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 NYSE 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.

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the NYSE 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 entitled to rely on a provision in NYSE’s corporate governance rules that allows us to follow Cayman Islands law for certain corporate governance matters. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands may differ significantly from the corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies listed on NYSE, except for general fiduciary duties and duties of care, Cayman Islands law has no corporate governance regime which prescribes specific corporate governance standards.

Currently, we do not intend to rely on home country practice with respect to our corporate governance after we complete with this offering. However, if we choose to follow home country practice in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers

There can be no assurance that we will not be a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, which could subject United States investors in the Ordinary Shares to significant adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

A non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income; or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, or the asset test. Based on our current and expected income and assets (taking into account the expected cash proceeds and our anticipated market capitalization following this offering), we do not presently expect to be a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future. However, no assurance can be given in this regard because the determination of whether we are or will become a PFIC is a fact-intensive inquiry made on an annual basis that depends, in part, upon the composition of our income and assets. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, will agree with our conclusion or that the IRS would not successfully challenge our position. Fluctuations in the market price of our Ordinary Shares may cause us to become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years because the value of our assets for the purpose of the asset test may be determined by reference to the market price of our Ordinary Shares. The composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets and the cash raised in this offering. If we were to be or become a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Ordinary Shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to such U.S. Holder. See “Taxation — Material Income Tax Considerations — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules” for further information. We urge U.S. Holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules in light of their individual circumstances.

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this Offering and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds” and in such order of priority as our management may determine in its discretion, and you will not have the opportunity as part of your investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this Offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business.

We may regularly encounter potential conflicts of interest, and our failure to identify and address such conflicts of interest could adversely affect our business.

We face the possibility of actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest in the ordinary course of our business operations. Conflicts of interest may exist between (i) our different businesses; (ii) us and our clients; (iii) our clients; (iv) us and our employees; (v) our clients and our employees, (vi) us and our Major Shareholders and their controlling entities, or (vii) our dealer-shareholders and our other shareholders. As we expand the scope of our business and our client base, it is critical for us to be able to timely address potential conflicts of interest, including situations where two or more interests within our businesses naturally exist but are in competition or conflict. We have put in place internal control and risk management procedures that are designed to identify and address conflicts of interest, including a procedure for presenting potential conflicts of interest to the audit committee of our Board of Directors. However, appropriately identifying and managing actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest is complex and difficult, and our reputation and our clients’ confidence in us could be damaged if we fail, or appear to fail, to deal appropriately with one or more actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest. It is possible that actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest could also give rise to client dissatisfaction, litigation, or regulatory enforcement actions. Regulatory scrutiny of, or litigation in connection with, conflicts of interest could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, which could materially and adversely affect our business in a number of ways, including a reluctance of some potential clients and counterparties to do business with us. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition, and results of operations.

A conflict of interest occurs when an individual’s private interest (or the interest of a member of his or her family or close friend(s) or business associate(s)) interferes, or even appears to interfere, with the interests of our company as a whole. A conflict of interest can arise when an employee, officer, or director (or a member of his or her family or a close friend(s) or business associate(s)) takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for our Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when an employee, officer, or director (or a member of his or her family or close friend(s) or business associate(s)) receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in our Company.

Directors and executive officers must seek determinations and prior authorizations or approvals of potential conflicts of interest exclusively from our audit committee. All other employees are required to approach our Chief Executive Officer or our Chief Financial Officer if they have any questions about reporting a suspected conflict of interest.

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

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

Investors may have difficulty enforcing judgments against us, our directors and management.

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a majority of our Directors and officers reside outside the United States. Moreover, many of these persons do not have significant assets in 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 United States federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our Directors and officers.

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

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Cayman Islands Companies Act (Revised) (the “Companies Act”) and the common law of Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, action by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part

from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

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

Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. Currently, we do not plan to rely on home country practice with respect to any corporate governance matter. However, if we choose to follow home country practice in the future, 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 our Board or controlling shareholders than they would as public Shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Description of Share Capital and Governing Documents — Differences in Corporate Law.”

Cayman Islands’ economic substance requirements may have an effect on our business and operations.

Pursuant to the International Tax Cooperation (Economic Substance) Act, 2018 of the Cayman Islands, or the ES Act, that came into force on January 1, 2019, a “relevant entity” conducting a “relevant entity” is required to satisfy the economic substance test set out in the ES Act. A “relevant entity” includes an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as is our Company. There are nine designated “relevant activities” under the ES Act, and for so long as our Company is carrying on activities which falls within any of the designated relevant activities, it shall comply with all applicable requirements under the ES Act. If the only business activity that the Company carries on is to hold equity participation in other entities and only earns dividends and capital gains, then based on the current interpretation of the ES Act, our Company is a “pure equity holding company” and will therefore only subject to the minimum substance requirements, which require us to (i) comply with the all applicable requirements under the Companies Act and (ii) have adequate human resources and adequate premises in the Cayman Islands for holding and managing equity participations in other entities. However, there can be no assurance that we will not be subject to more requirements under the ES Act. Uncertainties over the interpretation and implementation of the ES Act may have an adverse impact on our business and operations.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of current or historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors,” that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “potential,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “likely to” or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include statements about:

•        changes in political, social, and economic conditions, the regulatory environment, laws and regulations and interpretation thereof in the jurisdictions where we conduct business or expect to conduct business;

•        the risk that we may be unable to realize our anticipated growth strategies and expected internal growth;

•        changes in the availability and cost of professional staff which we require to operate our business;

•        changes in customers’ preferences and needs;

•        changes in competitive conditions and our ability to compete under such conditions;

•        changes in our future capital needs and the availability of financing and capital to fund such needs;

•        changes in currency exchange rates or interest rates;

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

•        changes in our plan to enter into certain new business sectors; and

•        other factors beyond our control.

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we refer to in this prospectus with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and worse than what we expect. Other sections of this prospectus include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. 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. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

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

This prospectus also contains statistical data and estimates that we obtained from industry publications and reports generated by government or third-party providers of market intelligence.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this Offering of approximately $19.4 million (offering proceeds of $22,500,000, less underwriting discounts of $1,575,000, non-accountable expense allowance of $225,000, out of pocket underwriter expenses of $200,000, less offering expenses $1,086,000), assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters. These estimates are based upon an assumed initial offering price of $4.50 per share, the midpoint of the estimated range of the initial public Offer Price shown on the front cover of this prospectus.

We plan to use the net proceeds of this Offering in the following order of priority:

•        Approximately 40.0% for talent acquisition;

•        Approximately 6.0% for marketing and public relations;

•        Approximately 7.0% for acquisition of machinery and advanced equipment;

•        Approximately 7.0% for R&D specific expenses;

•        Approximately 7.0% for contracts & outsourcing; and

•        Approximately 8.0% for working capital and other general corporate purposes;

•        Approximately 8.7% for repayment of related party loans that were outstanding as of December 31, 2023*;

•        Approximately 15.3% for repayment of related party loans during subsequent period**.

•        Approximately 1.0% for repayment of third-party loans during subsequent period***.

____________

*        related party loans that were outstanding as of December 31, 2023 amount to 1,697,603 USD. Such loans were used by the Company primarily to finance day to day operating activities. Details in the table below

**      related party loans that were outstanding as of the date of this report amount to 2,961,696 USD. Such loans were used by the Company primarily to finance day to day operating activities. Details in the table below

***    third-party loans that were outstanding as of the date of this report amount to 190,632 USD. Such loans were used by the Company primarily to finance day to day operating activities. Principal amount of AED 700,000 (190,632 USD) and 10% monthly interest fee to be repaid within three months after IPO.

The table below sets forth the details, including the interest rate and maturity date, of each of our related party loans which we will utilize part of the net proceeds from this Offering to repay:

To the extent that our actual net proceeds are not sufficient to fund all of the proposed purposes, we will decrease our allocation of the net proceeds for the purposes set out above on a pro rata basis. We would anticipate raising additional capital through equity or debt financing sufficient to fund our proposed uses above.

The amounts and timing of any expenditures will vary depending on the amount of cash generated by our operations, and the rate of growth, if any, of our business, and our plans and business conditions. The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this Offering. Our management will have significant flexibility in applying and discretion to apply the net proceeds of the 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.

Pending deployment of the net proceeds for the uses described above, the funds may be placed in short-term deposits with financial institutions or used to invest in short-term money market instruments.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have no formal dividend policy. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business and to repay indebtedness and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Our Board of Directors has complete discretion in deciding whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that our company may only pay dividends out of profits or share premium, and provided always 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. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our Board of Directors. Even if our Board of Directors decides to pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Please see the section entitled “Taxation” of this prospectus for information on the potential tax consequences of any cash dividends declared.

CAPITALIZATION

The following tables set forth our capitalization as of June 30, 2024:

•        on an actual basis; and

•        on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect the issuance and sale of 5,000,000 shares at an assumed initial public Offer Price of $4.50 per share after deducting the underwriting discounts, non-accountable expense allowance, estimated Offering expenses payable by us.

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

____________

(1)      Pro forma additional paid in capital reflects the net proceeds we expect to receive, after deducting underwriting discounts, the non-accountable expense allowance and estimated Offering expenses payable by us. We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $19,414,000 (Offering proceeds of $22,500,000, less underwriting discounts of $1,575,000, non-accountable expense allowance of $225,000, out of pocket underwriter expenses of $200,000, less offering expenses $1,086,000), assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters.

DILUTION

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

Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total assets, excluding goodwill and other intangible assets, less than our total liabilities. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 US$(5,600,035) or US$(0.19) per share.

After giving effect to the issuance and sale of 5,000,000 Shares in this Offering at an assumed initial public Offer Price of US$4.50 per share (the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), and after deducting underwriting discounts $1,575,000, non-accountable expense allowance $225,000, out of pocket underwriter expenses of $200,000 and estimated Offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 would have been US$0.39 per outstanding ordinary share (35,000,000 ordinary shares). This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of US$0.58 to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of US$4.11 per ordinary share to investors purchasing Shares in this Offering. The following table illustrates such dilution:

The following table summarizes, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of the date of this filling, the total number of Shares purchased from us, the total cash consideration paid to us, and the average price per share paid by existing Shareholders and by investors in this Offering. The table below reflects an assumed initial public Offering Price of US$4.50 per share (the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), for Shares purchased in this Offering and excludes underwriting discounts, the non-accountable expense allowance, estimated Offering expenses payable by us.

The dilution information in this section is presented for illustrative purposes only. Our as adjusted net tangible book value following the consummation of this Offering is subject to adjustment based on the actual initial public Offer Price of our Shares and other terms of this Offering determined at pricing.
