ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Our amended and restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, which became effective on September 25, 2023, empowers us to indemnify our directors and officers against certain liabilities they incur by reason of their being a director or officer of our Company.
We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers in connection with this Offering. Under these agreements, we have agreed to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being a director or officer of our Company.
The underwriting agreement in connection with this Offering also provides for indemnification of us and our officers, directors or persons controlling us for certain liabilities.
We intend to obtain directors’ and officer’s liability insurance coverage that will cover certain liabilities of directors and officers of our Company arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
ITEM 7. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
On June 15, 2022, we issued 50,000 Ordinary Shares to Gaderway Investments Limited to the exemption from registration available under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation S promulgated thereunder. No underwriters were involved in these issuances of securities.

All references to Ordinary Shares, options to purchase Ordinary Shares, share data, per share data, and related information have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, in this prospectus to reflect the split of our Ordinary Shares as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earlier period presented.
After the share split of our Ordinary Shares effective on August 11, 2023, in November 2023, Gaderway Investments Limited entered into instruments of transfer with five investors (collectively, the “Investors”), whereby Gaderway Investments Limited sold an aggregate of 2,317,000 Ordinary Shares to the Investors for the aggregate consideration of $5,792,500.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
| (1) | For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. | |
| (2) | For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. | |
| (3) | For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. | |
| (4) | For the purpose of determining any liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; | |
| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; | |
| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and | |
| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |

Exhibit 99.5
| A. | INTRODUCTION |
| 1. | We, Bird and Bird, act for the Company (together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) as its legal advisers on matters of the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Hong Kong”) in connection with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 dated 28 February 2024 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) (the “Registration Statement”), relating to the (a) initial public offering of 1,560,000 ordinary shares of no par value each (“Ordinary Shares”) in the Company; and (b) the registration, offering and potential resale of an aggregate of 2,538,108 existing issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares in the Company by Gaderway Investments Limited, Cheung Hoi Hung, Poon Chung Lung, Zhang Mi, Chan Chu Hing and Miu Man Cheung (collectively, the “Transaction”). |
| 2. | This letter is limited to the laws of Hong Kong in force as at the date hereof as currently applied by the Hong Kong courts and given on the basis that they will be governed by and construed in accordance with the Hong Kong law. We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdictions or as to factual matters. We have assumed that there is nothing in the laws of any other jurisdiction which affects the opinions in this opinion letter, and we have made no investigation of, and express no opinion in relation to, the laws of any other jurisdiction for the purposes of this letter. In this letter, a reference to “laws” or “law” is a reference to the common law, principles of equity and laws and regulations constituted or evidenced by documents available to the public generally. |
| 3. | In giving the opinion below, we have examined only the documents set out in paragraph 4 and no other documents, and conducted the searches set out in paragraph 7 and no other searches, and we have relied upon the assumptions set out in paragraph 10 or elsewhere herein, which we have not independently verified, and the opinion in paragraph 9 is subject to the qualifications and reservations set out in paragraph 11 or elsewhere herein. |

| (xiii) | a copy of the business registration certificate of OTX with a business registration number 51535880-000-12-23-6. |
| 5. | Apart from the Documents, we have not for the purpose of giving this opinion examined or relied on any other contracts, instruments or other documents entered into by or affecting, or any corporate records of the Hong Kong Subsidiaries. |
| 6. | In giving this opinion herein, we have relied on representations (including certificates and other forms of communication) made to us by certain officers of the Company in relation to all matters of fact related to the Hong Kong Subsidiaries, without making independent inquiry on the accuracy of such representations. |
| 3 |
Searches
| 7. | For the purpose of giving this opinion, we have carried out and examined and relied on the results (collectively, the “Search Results”) of the following searches (collectively, the “Searches”): |
| (a) | company searches conducted on 14 March 2024 through the online system of the Companies Registry of Hong Kong against the Hong Kong Subsidiaries; and |
| (b) | searches conducted on 14 March 2024 as to bankruptcy, individual voluntary arrangement and compulsory winding-up records at the Official Receiver’s Office of Hong Kong against the Hong Kong Subsidiaries by TARGET On-Line Financial Ltd. |
| 8. | Except for the above Searches, we have not for the purpose of giving this opinion conducted any other search or enquiry and we have assumed that further searches or inspection would not reveal any circumstance which would require an amendment to this opinion and we have not updated the above searches since the date set out above. |
| C. | OPINION |
| 9. | Based solely on the Documents, the Searches and the qualifications, assumptions and limitations set forth herein and subject to any matters not disclosed to us, and having regard to such considerations of the laws of Hong Kong in force as at the date this letter as we consider relevant, we are of the view that: |
| (a) | Each of the Hong Kong Subsidiaries is duly incorporated as a company with limited liability under the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong), with a valid business registration certificate. |
| (b) | Based solely on the Search Results conducted against the Hong Kong Subsidiaries as detailed in paragraph 7 above, each of the Hong Kong Subsidiaries is validly existing and there is no charge or mortgage created on any of the properties of the Hong Kong Subsidiaries, no petition, order or resolution for the winding-up or liquidation of the Hong Kong Subsidiaries or for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver of any of the Hong Kong Subsidiaries, no record of any order or resolution (including any voluntary winding-up proceedings) for the winding-up of any of the Hong Kong Subsidiaries, or any notice of the appointment of a receiver of any of the properties or assets of any of the Hong Kong Subsidiaries in Hong Kong. |
| (c) | The description of Hong Kong laws, if any, set forth in the Registration Statement under the captions “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Enforceability of Civil Liability,” “Business” and “Regulations,” in each case insofar as such statements summarize Hong Kong laws, correctly and fairly summarizes the matters referred to therein in all material respects, and nothing has been omitted from such description which would make the same misleading in any material aspect. |
| 4 |
| (d) | The description of Hong Kong laws set forth in the Registration Statement under the captions “Regulations — Regulations related to Hong Kong taxation” and “Taxation — Hong Kong Profits Taxation,” in each case insofar as such statements summarize Hong Kong tax laws, correctly and fairly summarizes Hong Kong laws with respect to profit tax applicable to the business operation of the subsidiaries of the Group incorporated in Hong Kong in all material respects. |
| D. | ASSUMPTIONS |
| 10. | The opinions set out in this letter are based upon the following assumptions: |
| (a) | the completeness and accuracy in all respects of the information disclosed in the Search Results referred to in paragraph 7 above and that the information entered or contained in or on the relevant registers and/or search results has not, since the date as of which such search results were obtained, been altered or added to and that such searches did not fail to disclose any information which has been delivered for filing but which did not appear on the public file and was not disclosed at the time of the relevant search. |
It should be noted that this information may not be true, accurate, complete or up-to-date. In particular, but without limitation:
| (i) | there may be matters which should have been registered but which have not been registered or there may be a delay between the registration of those matters and the relevant entries appearing on the register of the relevant party; | |
| (ii) | the company searches at the public files maintained at the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong are not capable of revealing: |
| (A) | before making the relevant order whether or not a winding-up petition or an application to the Hong Kong court for the appointment of a receiver has been presented; or | |
| (B) | whether there are any matters which may have been lodged for registration but have not actually been registered at the date the file was made available to us; |
| (iii) | the enquiry at the Official Receiver’s Office in Hong Kong in relation to each company is not conclusively capable of revealing whether or not a winding-up petition has been presented, since details of the petition may not have been entered on the records of the Official Receiver’s Office immediately; and | |
| (v) | in each case, further information might have become available on the relevant register after the searches were made; |
| 5 |
| (b) | all statements of fact (including all representations and warranties, other than any representations and warranties as to matters of Hong Kong laws on which we specifically express an opinion in this opinion) contained in the Documents are, when made or repeated or deemed to be made or repeated, true, accurate and complete and that any representation or warranty by any party that it is not aware of or has no notice or knowledge of any act, matter, thing or circumstance means that the same does not exist or has not occurred; |
| (c) | all the Documents referred to in paragraph 4, all other relevant documents and information that have been provided to us are up-to-date and are material to the matters referred to in paragraph 9 and there is no fact, matter or additional document between some or all of the parties which would or might affect this opinion and which was not revealed to us by the documents examined or the searches and enquiries made by us in connection with the giving of this opinion; | |
| (d) | all statements of fact contained in the Documents are true, accurate and complete and not misleading in any respect; and | |
| (e) | no laws other than Hong Kong laws would affect the opinions stated herein but that, insofar as the laws of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong may be relevant, such laws have been complied with. |
| E. | QUALIFICATIONS |
| 11. | The opinions set out in this letter are subject to the following qualifications: |
| (a) | the description of Hong Kong laws as referred to in paragraph 9 in this letter only set out the relevant Hong Kong laws and regulations in a general sense and does not constitute a comprehensive legal opinion on such matter; | |
| (b) | we express no view as to whether any or all of the members of the Group have been or will be in compliance with any or all of the laws of Hong Kong; | |
| (c) | we expressly disclaim any of our liabilities in any part of the Registration Statement other than the description of Hong Kong laws as referred to in paragraph 9 in this letter; | |
| (d) | opinion in paragraph 9(c) in this opinion letter is given based solely on the description of the business and activities of the Group set out in the Registration Statement and we express no opinion on the accuracy and completeness thereon; | |
| (e) | we express no opinion as to the past, present or future financial performance or good standing or the business prospect of the Group; and | |
| (f) | we express no opinion as to taxation (other than the opinion stated in paragraph 9(d) of this opinion letter) or accounting matters. |
| 6 |
| F. | OTHERS |
| 12. | For the purposes of the opinions set out in this letter, we do not express or imply any opinion herein as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of Hong Kong. This opinion is delivered solely for the purpose of and in relation to the Transaction and the Registration Statement publicly filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on the date of this opinion and it may not be used and may not be relied upon for any other purpose without our prior written consent. | |
| 13. | We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in, and the filing hereof as an exhibit to, the Registration Statement, and to the reference to our name in such Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the regulations promulgated thereunder. Except with our prior written consent or consented herein, this opinion is not to be transmitted or disclosed to or used or relied upon by any other person or used or relied upon by the Company for any other purpose and it may not be filed with any governmental agency or authority or quoted in any public document, save that to the extent required by any law or regulation or court order or in connection with any judicial proceeding or in seeking to establish any defence in any legal or regulatory proceeding or investigation relating to the matters set out herein. Our lability under this letter shall not exceed the amount of legal fees received by us from the Company in relation to the Transaction. | |
| 14. | This opinion is given in respect of the laws of Hong Kong which are in force at, and is based upon facts and circumstances in existence at 8:00 am Hong Kong time on the date of this opinion. We assume no obligation to update this opinion for any changes in the laws of Hong Kong or other events or circumstances that occur after 8:00 am Hong Kong time on the date of this opinion. |
Yours faithfully,
