[●] Ordinary Shares

J-Star Holding Co., Ltd.

(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

This is the initial public offering of the ordinary shares of J-Star Holding Co., Ltd. We are offering [            ] of our ordinary shares, par value $0.50 per share, on a firm commitment basis. The estimated initial public offering price is $[           ] per share. Currently, no public market exists for our ordinary shares. We have applied to have our ordinary shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “YMAT.” We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in listing our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq; however, we will not complete this offering unless we are so listed.

J-Star Holding Co., Ltd. is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), Taiwan, Hong Kong and Samoa with our headquarters in Taiwan, and such structure involves unique risks to investors, as the Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time. Such governmental actions:

We are aware that recently, the Chinese government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using entity variable interest entity (“VIE”) structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Since these regulatory actions and statements are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our business operations in China, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. Any future action by the Chinese government expanding the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to government review could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. For a detailed description of the risks related to doing business in the PRC and Taiwan, and the offering, see “Risks Related to Conducting Operations in PRC”, “Risks Related to Doing Business in Taiwan” and “Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares” in the Risk Factors section. Unless otherwise stated, as used in this prospectus, “we,” “us,” “our company,” the “Company,” “our,” “our group,” or the “Group” refers to J-Star Holding Co., Ltd., together with its subsidiaries, and also in the context of describing our operations and consolidated financial information. To specifically indicate any of the subsidiaries under J-Star Holding Co., Ltd, separated definition of each subsidiary is adopted as defined below in order to refer to the same.

Regarding the cash transfer throughout our organization, within the organization, approximately 80% of our customer cash inflows have been received by our order-taking subsidiary in Hong Kong, and approximately 20% of our customer cash inflows have been received by our subsidiary in Taiwan. Our Hong Kong subsidiary purchases goods and services from our Taiwan subsidiary and then pay into our operating PRC subsidiaries; or directly from our Taiwan subsidiary to our PRC subsidiaries, and from our operating PRC subsidiaries to our operating Samoa subsidiary, through payments on the goods and services provided by the relevant entities. For a detailed description on the transfer of cash through our organization and details on the aggregate intra-group cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, see “Organizational Structure and Cash Flow” in the Prospectus Summary section.

Our group intends to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We also intend to settle amounts owned under our operating structure through bank loans and loans from related parties. We currently do not have any dividend policy, and any future determination will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments. In or around July 2017, J-Star declared NTD61.5 million (approximately $2.2 million) of dividends to the then shareholders. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021, we did not pay any dividends to our shareholders. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries have ever paid dividends or made distributions to U.S. investors. If we determine to pay dividends on any of our ordinary shares in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Although we did not rely on our PRC subsidiaries in dividends and other distributions on equity in the past, we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements in the future, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders or to service any debt we may incur. If any of our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. To date, there have not been any such dividends or other distributions from our PRC subsidiaries to our subsidiaries located outside of China. In addition, save as disclosed above, as of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries have ever issued any dividends or distributions to us or their respective shareholders outside of China. In the future, cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities, including this offering, may be transferred by us to our PRC subsidiaries via capital contribution or shareholder loans, as the case may be. For a detailed description on our intentions to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed and any transfers, dividends or distributions made to date, see “Dividends and other distributions” in the Prospectus Summary Section.

Pursuant to the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the PRC, and (2) Hong Kong, because of positions taken by the PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. In addition, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. Our auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan, is headquartered in Taipei, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a periodic basis. Therefore, our auditor was not identified in this report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the PCAOB is not able to inspect and investigate completely our auditor’s work papers in China, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities may be prohibited under the HFCAA and the Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor under the HFCAA. See “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure – The audit work on our PRC subsidiaries may not be inspected or investigated completely by the PCAOB and our ordinary shares may be prohibited from being traded on a national exchange under the HFCAA if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditor for three consecutive years beginning in 2021. The delisting of our ordinary shares, or the threat of being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment” for more information.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.”

Investing in our ordinary shares is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase our ordinary shares. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct a substantial majority of our operations through our operating entities established in the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Samoa with our headquarters in Taiwan. Our ordinary shares offered in this prospectus are shares of our Cayman Islands holding company.

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

Business Overview

Our Predecessor Group was established in 1970 and we have accumulated over 50 years know-how in material composite industry. We develop and commercialize the technology on carbon reinforcement and resin systems. With decades of experience and knowledge in composites and materials, we are able to apply our expertise and technology on designing and manufacturing a great variety of lightweight, high-performance carbon composite products, ranging from key structural parts of electric bicycles and sports bicycles, rackets, automobile parts to healthcare products. According to the industry report commissioned by us and prepared by Frost & Sullivan, we are one of the major global leading players in the carbon fiber bicycle parts industry and carbon fiber racket parts industry.

As our business is technology-driven, our vision is to offer cutting edge technology and manufacturing expertise in carbon composite to our customers, and many of our products are directly or indirectly supplied to different renowned international sports brand owners. Our carbon composite products deliver substantial weight savings, endurance and stiffness comparing to those constructed from conventional materials, such as steel and aluminum, and in doing so, our products offer remarkable and valuable efficiency and performance benefits to our customers in various applications. While our technology has potential applications over a broad range of industries, we currently have our main focus on the sporting goods industry and we prioritize the electric bicycle market to commercialize our technology.

We are based in Taiwan with our headquarters, research and development (“R&D”) center and material laboratory located in Taichung, Taiwan and our production plant and our second R&D center located in Dongguan, the PRC. The R&D center in Taichung focuses on resin material application, new product development and production process enhancement, and the R&D center in Dongguan, the PRC, which is located next to our production plant, focuses on structural design of products, testing on product performance and enhancement on strength and stiffness of products. Our business focuses on the research and development of, as well as manufacturing, a wide range of carbon composite products. We primarily generate revenue through three divisions and revenue streams, namely (i) sales of bicycles parts of sports bicycle and electric bicycle; (ii) sales of rackets for use in tennis, badminton, squash and beach tennis; and (iii) sales of other products, which mainly include structural parts of automobile, other sporting goods and healthcare products. Our bicycle parts and rackets are mainly supplied directly or indirectly to branded customers located in Switzerland, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and Japan and they market and distribute their products worldwide. Other customers which rely on our new products, such as automobile parts and healthcare products, are mainly located in Australia, Canada and Japan.

Advanced carbon composite materials offer a number of advantages relative to traditional materials, including light weight, high strength to weight ratio, high stiffness, and improved resistance to heat, corrosion and fatigue. Nonetheless, different products require different degrees and combinations of such properties according to their functions. Carbon composite materials are formed by combining carbon fibers and resins. The properties of carbon composite materials could vary largely due to different systems of resin and structural arrangement. Differing from our competitors in the industry, instead of using preset formulas of resins with lower degree of flexibility, we have our own R&D center to develop our own resin systems and formulas according to the product requirements. Therefore, we are able to incorporate customized resin systems that can be optimized for specific parameters, such as durability, temperature performance, cure times and viscosity. This not only allows us to manufacture our products with high precision to customers’ specifications, but also offers us flexibility in developing a greater variety of new products in the future. Thus, we believe that the parallel development of our complex product and process technology has resulted in our competitive advantage which makes it difficult for our competitor to replicate.

Our total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 amounts to $22.8 million and $22.2 million, respectively, and our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021 amounts to $9.6 million and $12.2 million, respectively. Our sales of bicycle parts accounted for approximately 64.9% and 64.4% of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and accounted for approximately 65.2% and 65.9% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Our sales of rackets business brought us considerable revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, which accounted for approximately 34.9% and 35.5%, respectively, of our total revenues, and accounted for approximately 34.6% and 34.1% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Our sales of other products, which accounted for approximately 0.1% and 0.1%, respectively, of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, and accounted for 0.2% and approximately 0% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

While having our main focus on development and sales of key structural parts of bicycles and rackets in the past years, we would not limit ourselves to the existing scope of product. We intend to extend our product spectrum by launching new products, such as sporting goods for new sports like padel racket and mast foil, and further expand our production on relatively new existing products that are emerging in the market, including key structural parts of electric bicycles, automobile and robotic arms, bicycle crank sets and other healthcare products, such as wheelchairs and senior walkers.

We target to achieve growth in terms of both scale and scope. To expand our scale, we plan to establish a new production plant in Yangzhou in the PRC. For such purpose, in March 2019, Bohong Technology acquired the land use right of a land parcel in Yangzhou with a total gross land area of 64,851 square meter in order to build our new production plant for the production on key structural parts of electric bicycle, robotic arms, automobile parts and prepreg material. We intend to invest approximately $6.2 million on the purchase of machinery for our production plant in Yangzhou. We are in discussion with a local construction company in the PRC on a hire purchase agreement of building and infrastructure construction of our production plant in Yangzhou and such construction would be funded by the said local construction company in the PRC. We intend to commence the construction work of our production plant in Yangzhou by the end of 2021 and the first phase of such construction is expected to be completed by second quarter of 2022. The construction of our production plant in Yangzhou is expected to be fully completed by August 2022 and the machines are expected to be set up by the third quarter of 2022. As for growth in terms of scope, we anticipate that, by the first quarter of 2022, we will launch our own brand on electric bicycle and sporting goods and will set up sales and administration office in the U.S. and the Netherlands. We are in close dialogue with a reputed bicycle frame manufacturer in the U.S. on exploring investment opportunities, including but not limited to possibilities on acquisition, joint-venture and /or co-branding production.  In addition, we intend to add a U.S. sales and administration office in Houston, Texas, which will work closely with our office in Taiwan in U.S. market sales and expansion, while our sales and administration office in the Netherlands will be handling sales on our online business platform expected to be launched around the first quarter of 2022. We also expect to further extend our production of automobile parts so as to leverage on the surging market demand of electric vehicles. By the end of 2023, we expect to launch our micro factory and R&D center in the U.S., with a view to developing automation of our production process and integrating the most advanced technology to our production. In this regard, we intend to invest in a manufacturer of carbon fiber products in the U.S. We have been in contacts with several potential target companies in the U.S., one of which is a U.S.-based aerospace composite parts manufacturer. We also plan to establish our third R&D center in Houston, Texas and our initial plan is to hire 4 to 6 employees on developing composite material and conducting researches on chemical interactions.

Summary of Risks Affecting Our Company

Our business is subject to numerous risks described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. The main risks set forth below and others you should consider are discussed more fully in the section entitled “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Conducting Operations in PRC,” “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Business and Industry,” “Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure,” “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Doing Business in Taiwan,” and “Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares” which you should read in its entirety starting from page 13.

Risks Related to Conducting Operations in PRC

Currently, part of our operations are based in the PRC. Because of such ties to China, we may be subjected to the laws, rules and regulations of the PRC. For more detailed description of the below risks and other risks related to acquiring and operating business in China and Hong Kong, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Conducting Operations in PRC” beginning on page 13. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

PRC Approvals

On July 6, 2021, the relevant Chinese government authorities published the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law. These opinions call for strengthened regulation over illegal securities activities and increased supervision of overseas listings by China-based companies, and propose to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems to regulate the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies. As of the date of this prospectus, no official guidance or related implementation rules have been issued in relation to these recently issued opinions and the interpretation and implementation of these opinions remain unclear at this stage. On December 24, 2021, the State Council published the Provisions on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (draft for consultation, “Draft Administration Provisions”), as well as the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (draft for consultation, “Draft Administration Measures”). Under the Draft Administration Provisions, a filing-based regulatory system will be introduced to cover both direct and indirect overseas issuance and listing of securities. The Draft Administration Measures further provide the scope of activities subject to the filing requirement, and relevant criteria for determining whether an activity falls within the scope. Pursuant to the Draft Administration Measures, the determination as to whether a PRC domestic company is indirectly offering and listing securities in an overseas market shall be made on a substance over form basis. If the issuer meets the following conditions, the offering and listing shall be determined as an indirect overseas offering and listing by a domestic company: (1) the total assets, net assets, revenues or profits of the domestic operating entity of the issuer in the most recent accounting year account for more than 50% of the corresponding figure in the issuer’s audited consolidated financial statements for the same period; and (2) the senior management in charge of business operation and management of the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or have domicile in China, and the issuer’s main places of business are located in China or main business activities are conducted in China. The Draft Administration Provisions and the Draft Administration Measures were released for public comment only, and the draft provisions and anticipated adoption or effective date are subject to changes and thus its interpretation and implementation remain substantially uncertain.

As a holding company with no material operations of our own, our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries in the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Samoa with our headquarters in Taiwan, which may subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. Our business is subject to various government regulations and regulatory interference. As of the date of this prospectus, each of our PRC subsidiaries has received all requisite permissions and approvals from the Chinese authorities for the operation of our business in the PRC, including but not limited to the business license from the State Administration for Market Regulation (“SAMR”), sewage discharge permits, pollution discharge registration of stationary pollution source, customs registration certificate for customs declaration entities, record-filing form for entry exit inspection and quarantine for declaration enterprise, food operation permit, and those with respect to environment protection and fire safety inspection, as applicable, and such permissions and approvals are valid and have not been revoked. Based on the PRC laws and regulations currently effective, we, including our subsidiaries, are not subject to any pre-approval requirement, filing or reporting from Chinese authorities, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or Cybersecurity Administration Committee, or CAC, to conduct this offering or list on U.S. exchanges or issue securities to foreign investors or to obtain any further permissions to conduct our current business in the PRC in addition to the permits currently held by us to operate our general business activities. Nevertheless, we may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. Furthermore, given recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and there are uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system and changes in laws, regulations and policies, including how those laws and regulations will be interpreted or implemented, although as of the date of this prospectus, we have not been involved in any investigations initiated by the applicable government regulatory authorities, nor have we received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanction in such respect, it is uncertain whether or when we might be subject to such requirements, permission and approval from any related PRC government to list our shares on Nasdaq in the future. If approval is required in the future and we were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange or it may adversely affect our business and results of operation, which would materially affect the interest of the investors. It is uncertain when and whether the Company will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to continue to list on U.S. exchanges or to conduct our current business in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although we are currently not required to obtain any pre-approval requirement from any of the PRC central or local government and we have not received any denial to conduct this offering, to list on the U.S. exchange or to conduct our current business, our operations may be adversely affected in the future, directly or indirectly, by existing or future PRC laws and regulations if PRC regulatory authorities do not take the same view as us. We could be subject to additional requirements that we obtain pre-approval or fulfill the filing and reporting obligation to pursue this offering or any future offerings from the CSRC and potentially other regulatory authorities. Although we believe, that CSRC’s approval is not required for the listing and trading of our ordinary shares on Nasdaq in the context of this offering, we cannot assure you that relevant PRC governmental agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as we do. If the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering and any follow-on offering, we may be unable to obtain such approvals which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before the settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares that we are offering. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to the settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares we are offering, you would be doing so at the risk that the settlement and delivery may not occur. Any uncertainties or negative publicity regarding such approval requirements could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete this offering or any follow-on offering of our securities or the market for and market price of our ordinary shares. However, currently, we are not required to obtain additional permission or approval from Chinese authorities, including the CSRC and the CAC, to either approve our PRC subsidiaries’ operation or to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors. For more detailed information, see “Risk Factors -- Risks Related to Conducting Operations in PRC — The approval of the CSRC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may be required in connection with this offering under Chinese law,” “Risks Factor -- Risks Related to Conducting Operations in PRC — The Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of business in the PRC and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our securities. We are also currently not required to obtain any pre-approval or fulfill the filing and reporting obligations from or to Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, however, if we are required to obtain approval in the future and are denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange, which would materially affect the interest of the investors” and “Risks Factors — The Chinese government may intervene in or influence our business operations at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in China based issuers, which could result in a material change in our business operations and significantly and adversely impact the value of our securities. Additionally, the governmental and regulatory interference could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.”

However, to operate our general business activities currently conducted in China, each of our PRC subsidiaries is required to obtain a business license from the SAMR. Each of our PRC subsidiaries has obtained a valid business license from the SAMR, and no application for any such license has been denied. Further, to operate our general business activities currently conducted in China, our relevant PRC subsidiaries are also required to obtain other permits from the PRC government, including sewage discharge permits, pollution discharge registration of stationary pollution source, customs registration certificate for customs declaration entities, record-filing form for entry-exit inspection and quarantine for declaration enterprise, food operation permit, and those with respect to environment protection and fire safety inspection, as applicable. Our PRC subsidiaries have obtained the foregoing permits applicable to them and no application for such permits has been denied.

Corporate information

Proposed PRC Cybersecurity Measures

On December 28, 2021, the CAC published the amendment to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which is to replace the current Cybersecurity Review Measures after it becomes effective on February 15, 2022. On November 14, 2021, the CAC released a draft of the Administrative Regulations on Network Data Security, or Draft Regulations, for public comments. The amended Cybersecurity Review Measures stipulate that, among other items, if an issuer is classified as a “network platform operator” and such issuer possesses personal information of more than one million users and intends to be listed on a securities exchange in a foreign country, it must complete a cybersecurity review. Alternatively, relevant governmental authorities in China may initiate a cybersecurity review if such governmental authorities determine an operator’s cyber products or services, data processing or potential listing in a foreign country affect or may affect national security. The Draft Regulations also stipulate that, among other items, for any listing to be done on a securities exchange in a foreign country involving a “data processing operator” with personal information of more than one million users, such “data processing operator” shall report to the CAC for a cybersecurity review. The Draft Regulations were released for public comment only, and the draft provisions and anticipated adoption or effective date are subject to changes and thus its interpretation and implementation remain substantially uncertain. We cannot predict the impact of the draft measures, if any, on the operations of our Company at this stage.

“Data processing operators” is defined under the Draft Regulations as “any individual or organization that autonomously determines the purpose and manner of the processing of network data” and “network platform operators” is not defined under the amended Cybersecurity Review Measures. While the exact scope of “network platform” and “data processing operators” remains unclear, the Chinese government authorities may have wide discretion in the interpretation and enforcement of these laws. Currently, the draft amended Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Draft Regulations have not materially affected our business and operations and we do not believe o]ur business activities affect or may be interpreted to affect PRC’s national security. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been informed by any relevant Chinese government authorities that we are identified as or considered a “network platform operator” or “data processing operator.” We are not aware of any requirement that we should file for a cybersecurity review, nor have we received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction in such respect or any regulatory objections to this offering. However, in anticipation of the strengthened implementation of cybersecurity laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we will not be deemed as a network platform operator or data processing operator under the Chinese cybersecurity laws and regulations in the future, or that the amended Cybersecurity Review Measures and the Draft Regulations will not be further amended or other laws or regulations will not be promulgated to subject us to the cybersecurity review or other compliance requirements. In such case, we may face challenges in addressing such enhanced regulatory requirements. For additional information, see “Risk Factors––Risks related to Our Business and Industry—Our failure to comply with data protection laws and regulations could lead to government enforcement actions and significant penalties against us, and adversely impact our operating results,” “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Conducting Operations in PRC —Compliance with China’s new Data Security Law, Cybersecurity Review Measures, Personal Information Protection Law, regulations and guidelines relating to the multi-level protection scheme and any other future laws and regulations may entail significant expenses and could materially affect our business,” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Conducting Operations in PRC — The approval of the CSRC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may be required in connection with this offering under Chinese law.”

History and Corporate Structure

Our History

Our Predecessor Group commenced wood composite manufacturing and sports equipment processing business in 1970 and was one of the earliest private enterprises to manufacture wood composite in Taiwan. However, due to changes in the product development in the sporting goods industry with higher product requirements on the weight-saving, endurance and stiffness, our Predecessor Group gradually shifted the focus from wood composite manufacturing to carbon composite product manufacturing since 1980. Our Predecessor Group launched the carbon composite business line in 1980, targeting sporting goods, such as rackets. In 2005, our Predecessor Group launched the bicycle business line in order to expand our scope of carbon composite sporting goods to sports bicycle. In 2017, we produced our first electric bicycle frame. In 2018, in light of the prevalence of and favorable government policies on electric bicycle around the world, while continuing our development and sales of sports bicycle, we have in parallel strategically expanded further on the development and production of electric bicycle. We also developed our first carbon fiber robotic arm and other health care products in 2018. In 2019, we expanded our R&D team on the design and production of electric bicycle by addition of personnel. Through our R&D centers in Taiwan and the PRC, we have continued to upgrade and enhance our material technology, product structural design and production process technology, in order to uplift our product quality, product performance, production efficiency and expand our product spectrum.

The following are the aggregate intra-group cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021:

Dividends and other distributions

J-Star was incorporated in Cayman Islands on May 24, 2016, to be the ultimate parent company of the Group. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries in the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Samoa with our headquarters in Taiwan. Our operations in the PRC may also subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. J-Star is permitted under the laws of Cayman Islands to provide funding to our subsidiaries in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Samoa through loans or capital contributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds provided such arrangement is in the best interests of the Company.

Our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Taiwan are permitted under the laws of Hong Kong and Taiwan, respectively, to provide direct or indirect funding to J-Star, the holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, through dividend distributions. Our Group currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, for the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. We also intend to settle amounts owned under our operating structure through bank loans and loans from related parties. We currently do not have any dividend policy, and any future determination will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments.

Subject to the Companies Act (2022 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, our board of directors may authorize and declare a dividend to shareholders (including shareholders who are based in the U.S.) from time to time out of the profits from the Company, realized or unrealized, or out of the share premium account, provided that the Company will remain solvent, meaning the Company is able to pay its debts as they come due in the ordinary course of business. There is no further Cayman Islands statutory restriction on the amount of funds which may be distributed by us in the form of dividends.

In or around July 2017, J-Star declared NTD 61.5 million (approximately $2.2 million) of dividends to the then shareholders. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021, we did not pay any dividends to our shareholders. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries have ever paid dividends or made distributions to U.S. investors. If we determine to pay dividends on any of our ordinary shares in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by us, and under the current laws of Taiwan, dividends (whether in cash or shares) declared by TW YMA out of its retained earnings and distributed to Goal Beyond are subject to Taiwan withholding tax, currently at the rate of 21% on the amount of the distribution (in the case of cash dividends) or on the par value of the shares (in the case of stock dividends).

There are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HK dollar into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong, nor is there any restriction on any foreign exchange to transfer cash between the Company and its subsidiaries, across borders and to investors outside of PRC, nor is there any restrictions and limitations to distribute earnings from the subsidiaries, to the Company and investors outside of PRC and amounts owed. There are no exchange controls in Cayman Islands.

All cash dividends declared and payable on the shares of TW YMA may be paid by TW YMA to Goal Beyond (as a foreign corporate shareholder) in New Taiwan dollars that, so long as Goal Beyond maintains its status as a foreign investor as approved by the Investment Commission of Taiwan, may be converted into foreign currency and freely transferred out of Taiwan without the necessity of obtaining any additional Taiwan governmental approvals.

Under current Taiwan Foreign Exchange Control Law and regulations, foreign currency earned from exports of merchandise and services may be retained and used freely by exporters, and all foreign currency needed for the importation of merchandise and services may be purchased freely from the designated foreign exchange banks. Apart from trade-related or service-related foreign exchange transactions, Taiwan companies may, without foreign exchange approval, remit to and from Taiwan foreign currency in each calendar year of up to US$50 million (or such other amount as determined by Taiwan’s Central Bank from time to time at its discretion in consideration of Taiwan’s economic and financial conditions or the needs to maintain the order of foreign exchange market in Taiwan). The above limits apply to remittances involving either a conversion of New Taiwan dollars into a foreign currency or a conversion of foreign currency into New Taiwan dollars. For further details, please refer to “Regulations – Regulations in Taiwan – Regulations Relating to Foreign Exchange”.

Although we did not rely on our PRC subsidiaries in dividend and other distributions on equity in the past, we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements in the future, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders or to service any debt we may incur. If any of our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. To date, there have not been any such dividends or other distributions from our PRC subsidiaries to our subsidiaries located outside of China. In addition, save as disclosed above, as of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries have ever issued any dividends or distributions to us or their respective shareholders outside of China. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries have ever paid dividends or made distributions to U.S. investors. In the future, cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities, including this offering, may be transferred by us to our PRC subsidiaries via capital contribution or shareholder loans, as the case may be.

According to the Foreign Investment Law of the People’s Republic of China and its implementing rules, which jointly established the legal framework for the administration of foreign-invested companies, a foreign investor may, in accordance with other applicable laws, freely transfer into or out of China its contributions, profits, capital earnings, income from asset disposal, intellectual property rights royalties acquired, compensation or indemnity legally obtained, and income from liquidation, made or derived within the territory of China in RMB or any foreign currency, and any entity or individual shall not illegally restrict such transfer in terms of the currency, amount and frequency. According to the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China and other Chinese laws and regulations, our PRC subsidiaries may pay dividends only out of their respective accumulated profits as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our PRC subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, each year to fund a certain statutory reserve fund, until the aggregate amount of such fund reaches 50% of its registered capital. Where the statutory reserve fund is insufficient to cover any loss the Chinese subsidiary incurred in the previous financial year, its current financial year’s accumulated after-tax profits shall first be used to cover the loss before any statutory reserve fund is drawn therefrom. Such statutory reserve funds and the accumulated after-tax profits that are used for covering the loss cannot be distributed to us as dividends. At their discretion, our PRC subsidiaries may allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on Chinese accounting standards to a discretionary reserve fund.

Renminbi is not freely convertible into other currencies. As result, any restriction on currency exchange may limit the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to use their potential future renminbi revenues to pay dividends to us. The Chinese government imposes controls on the convertibility of renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Shortages in availability of foreign currency may then restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to our offshore entities for our offshore entities to pay dividends or make other payments or otherwise to satisfy our foreign-currency-denominated obligations. The renminbi is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, without the need of the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China (“SAFE”). By contrast, the renminibi under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and foreign currency debt, including loans we may secure for our onshore subsidiaries, may be converted into other currencies upon the approval of the SAFE and the conversion is also subject to other restrictions or limitations, e.g., control of a Chinese entity’s foreign debt quota. Currently, our PRC subsidiaries may purchase foreign currency for settlement of “current account transactions,” including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of the SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant Chinese governmental authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. The Chinese government may continue to strengthen its capital controls, and additional restrictions and substantial vetting processes may be instituted by SAFE for cross-border transactions falling under both the current account and the capital account. Any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in renminbi to fund our business activities outside of China or pay dividends in foreign currencies to holders of our securities. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant Chinese governmental authorities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our subsidiaries. See “Risks Related to Conducting Operations in PRC—We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business” for a detailed discussion of the Chinese legal restrictions on the payment of dividends and our ability to transfer cash within our group. In addition, shareholders may potentially be subject to Chinese taxes on dividends paid by us in the event we are deemed a Chinese resident enterprise for Chinese tax purposes. See “Taxation— People’s Republic of China Taxation” for more details.

Foreign Private Issuer Status

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies. For example:

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than US$1.07 billion in revenue for the last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (as amended by the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act of 2015) (the “JOBS Act”). An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section 404, in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company that prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Because we prepare our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), we are unable to take advantage of the aforementioned provision.

We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our ordinary shares pursuant to this offering. However, if certain events occur before the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion or we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company before the end of such five-year period.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with 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.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of our fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of at least US$1.07 billion; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three year period, issued more than US$1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months. Once we cease to be an emerging growth company, we will not be entitled to the exemptions provided in the JOBS Act discussed above.

The Offering

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our ordinary shares involves significant risks. You should carefully consider all of the information in this prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in our ordinary shares. Any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In any such case, the market price of our ordinary shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Conducting Operations in PRC

A downturn in the PRC or global economy, and economic and political policies of the PRC could materially and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We conduct certain operations through our subsidiaries in the PRC and we also have direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries with some operations in the PRC. Accordingly, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in the PRC generally and by continued economic growth in the PRC as a whole. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us.

Economic conditions in China are sensitive to global economic conditions. Any prolonged slowdown in the global or Chinese economy may affect potential clients’ confidence in financial market as a whole and have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, continued turbulence in the international markets may adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.

We conduct certain operations through our subsidiaries in PRC and we also have direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries with some operations in the PRC. PRC companies are generally subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investments in China and, in particular, laws and regulations applicable to wholly foreign-owned enterprises. The PRC legal system is based on statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.

Since 1979, PRC legislation and regulations have significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system and recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules (some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all) that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

Changes in the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the PRC government may be quick with little advance notice and could have a significant impact upon our ability to operate profitably in the PRC.

We conduct certain operations through our subsidiaries in the PRC, which may subject us to certain laws and regulations in the PRC. Accordingly, economic, political and legal developments in the PRC will affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the PRC government can have significant effects on economic conditions in the PRC and the ability of businesses to operate profitably. Our ability to operate profitably in the PRC may be adversely affected by changes in policies by the PRC government, including changes in laws, regulations or their interpretation, particularly those dealing with the Internet, including censorship and other restriction on material which can be transmitted over the Internet, security, intellectual property, money laundering, taxation and other laws that affect our ability to operate our business in China.

The Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of business in the PRC and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our securities. We are also currently not required to obtain any pre-approval or fulfill the filing or reporting obligations from or to Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, however, if we are required to obtain approval in the future and are denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange, which would materially affect the interest of the investors.

Since our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries in the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Samoa with our headquarters in Taiwan, this may subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to conduct our current business may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, property and other matters. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.

For example, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator announced on July 2, 2021 that it had begun an investigation of Didi Global Inc. (NYSE: DIDI) and two days later ordered that the company’s app be removed from smartphone app stores. On July 24, 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly released the Guidelines for Further Easing the Burden of Excessive Homework and Off-campus Tutoring for Students at the Stage of Compulsory Education, pursuant to which foreign investment in such firms via mergers and acquisitions, franchise development, and variable interest entities are banned from this sector.

As such, we could be subject to regulations by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions, and these regulations may be interpreted and applied inconsistently by different agencies or authorities. We may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply, and such compliance or any associated inquiries or investigations or any other government actions may:

Further, our business is subject to various government regulations and regulatory interference. As of the date of this prospectus, each of our PRC subsidiaries has received all requisite permissions and approvals from the Chinese authorities for the operation of our business in the PRC, including but not limited to the business license from the SAMR, sewage discharge permits, pollution discharge registration of stationary pollution source, customs registration certificate for customs declaration entities, record-filing form for entry-exit inspection and quarantine for declaration enterprise, food operation permit, and those with respect to environment protection and fire safety inspection, as applicable, and such permissions and approvals are valid and have not been revoked. Based on the PRC laws and regulations currently effective, we, including our subsidiaries, are not subject to any pre-approval requirement, filing or reporting from Chinese authorities, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or Cybersecurity Administration Committee, or CAC, to conduct this offering or list on U.S. exchanges or issue securities to foreign investors or to obtain any further permissions to conduct our current business in the PRC in addition to the permits currently held by us to operate our general business activities. Nevertheless, we may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. Furthermore, given recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and there are uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system and changes in laws, regulations and policies, including how those laws and regulations will be interpreted or implemented, although as of the date of this prospectus, we have not been involved in any investigations initiated by the applicable government regulatory authorities, nor have we received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanction in such respect, it is uncertain whether or when we might be subject to such requirements, permission and approval from any related PRC government to list our shares on Nasdaq in the future. If approval is required in the future and we were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange or it may adversely affect our business and results of operation, which would materially affect the interest of the investors. Although we are currently not required to obtain any pre-approval requirement from any of the PRC central or local government and we have not received any denial to conduct this offering, to list on the U.S. exchange or to conduct our current business, our operations may be adversely affected in the future, directly or indirectly, by existing or future PRC laws and regulations if PRC regulatory authorities do not take the same view as us. If the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering and any follow-on offering, we may be unable to obtain such approvals which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before the settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares that we are offering. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to the settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares we are offering, you would be doing so at the risk that the settlement and delivery may not occur. Any uncertainties or negative publicity regarding such approval requirements could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete this offering or any follow-on offering of our securities or the market for and market price of our ordinary shares. However, currently, we are not required to obtain additional permission or approval from Chinese authorities, including the CSRC and the CAC, to either approve our PRC subsidiaries’ operation or to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors.

It is uncertain when and whether we will be required to obtain any pre-approval or fulfill any filing or reporting obligation from or to the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges or to obtain any further permissions to conduct our current business operation in the PRC in addition to the permits currently held by us to operate our general business activities, and even when such pre-approval or permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Further, the promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in each case that restrict or otherwise unfavorably may impact the ability or the way we may conduct our business and could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand for our products or services, reduce revenues, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject it to additional liabilities. As such, our operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future PRC laws and regulations relating to its business or industry, which could result in a material adverse change in the value of our ordinary shares, potentially rendering it worthless. As a result, both you and us face uncertainty about future actions by the PRC government that could significantly affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

The Chinese government may intervene in or influence our business operations at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in China based issuers, which could result in a material change in our business operations and significantly and adversely impact the value of our securities. Additionally, the governmental and regulatory interference could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

The Chinese government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene or influence our operations as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals. The Chinese government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could require us to seek permission from Chinese authorities to continue to operate our business, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, recent statements made by the Chinese government have indicated an intent to increase the government’s oversight and control over offerings of companies with significant operations in China that are to be conducted in foreign markets, as well as foreign investment in China-based issuers like us. Any such action, once taken by the Chinese government, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer ordinary shares to our investors, and could cause the value of our ordinary shares to significantly decline or become worthless.

Recent statements by the Chinese government have indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in China-based issuers. On July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly promulgated the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law, pursuant to which Chinese regulators are required to accelerate rulemaking related to the overseas issuance and listing of securities, and update the existing laws and regulations related to data security, cross-border data flow, and management of confidential information. On December 24, 2021, the State Council published the Provisions on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or Draft Administration Provisions, as well as the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or Draft Administration Measures, for public comments. Under the Draft Administration Provisions, a filing-based regulatory system will be introduced to cover both direct and indirect overseas issuance and listing of securities. The Draft Administration Measures further provide the scope of activities subject to the filing requirement, and relevant criteria for determining whether an activity falls within the scope. Pursuant to the Draft Administration Measures, the determination as to whether a PRC domestic company is indirectly offering and listing securities in an overseas market shall be made on a substance over form basis. If the issuer meets the following conditions, the offering and listing shall be determined as an indirect overseas offering and listing by a domestic company: (1) the total assets, net assets, revenues or profits of the domestic operating entity of the issuer in the most recent accounting year account for more than 50% of the corresponding figure in the issuer’s audited consolidated financial statements for the same period; and (2) the senior management in charge of business operation and management of the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or have domicile in China, and the issuer’s main places of business are located in China or main business activities are conducted in China. The PRC has recently published new rules that require companies collecting or holding large amounts of data to undergo a cybersecurity review prior to listing in foreign countries. Pursuant to Article 7 of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review published by the CAC on December 28, 2021 and to become effective on February 15, 2022, if an issuer is classified as a “network platform operator” and such issuer possesses personal information of more than 1 million users must now apply for cybersecurity approval when seeking listings in other nations due to the risk that such data and personal information could be “affected, controlled, and maliciously exploited by foreign governments.”

As a holding company with no material operations of our own, our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries in the PRC, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Samoa with our headquarters in Taiwan, which may subject us to certain laws and regulations in China. As such, we may collect certain personal data from our customers in connection with our business and operations and we are subject to various regulatory requirements relating to the security and privacy of data in various jurisdictions, as our customers are worldwide and are mostly based in Europe. However, we do not hold personal information of more than one million users and we believe that this offering is not subject to PRC cybersecurity review. In addition, as of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notice of and is not currently subject to any proceedings initiated by the CAC or any other PRC regulatory authority. Nonetheless, we may be subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny from PRC governmental authorities in the future. As there remains significant uncertainty in the interpretation and enforcement of the Data Security Law and the Personal Information Protection Law, we cannot assure you that we will comply with such regulations in all respects. Any non-compliance with these laws and regulations may subject us to fines, orders to rectify or terminate any actions that are deemed illegal by regulatory authorities, other penalties, including but not limited to reputational damage or legal proceedings against us, which may affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date of this prospectus, there are no PRC laws and regulations in force explicitly requiring that we obtain any pre-approval from PRC authorities to issue securities to foreign investors, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction or any regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC, the CAC or any other PRC authorities that have jurisdiction over our operations. Based on our understanding of the PRC laws and regulations currently in effect as of the date of this prospectus, our registered public offering in the U.S. is not subject to the review or prior approval of the CAC or the CSRC. However, there remains uncertainty as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements related to overseas securities offering and other capital markets activities and due to the possibility that laws, regulations, or policies in the PRC could change rapidly in the future. Any future action by the PRC government expanding the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to review by the CSRC, the CAC or other PRC regulatory authorities could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

The approval of the CSRC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may be required in connection with this offering under Chinese law.

The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”) purport to require offshore special purpose vehicles that are controlled by Chinese companies or individuals and that have been formed for the purpose of seeking a public listing on an overseas stock exchange through acquisitions of Chinese domestic companies or assets in exchange for the shares of the offshore special purpose vehicles shall obtain CSRC approval prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange.

Furthermore, on July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly promulgated the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law, pursuant to which Chinese regulators are required to accelerate rulemaking related to the overseas issuance and listing of securities, and update the existing laws and regulations related to data security, cross-border data flow, and management of confidential information. On December 24, 2021, the State Council published the Provisions on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or Draft Administration Provisions, as well as the Administrative Measures for the Filing of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or Draft Administration Measures, for public comments. Under the Draft Administration Provisions, a filing-based regulatory system will be introduced to cover both direct and indirect overseas issuance and listing of securities. The Draft Administration Measures further provide the scope of activities subject to the filing requirement, and relevant criteria for determining whether an activity falls within the scope. Pursuant to the Draft Administration Measures, the determination as to whether a PRC domestic company is indirectly offering and listing securities in an overseas market shall be made on a substance over form basis. If the issuer meets the following conditions, the offering and listing shall be determined as an indirect overseas offering and listing by a domestic company: (1) the total assets, net assets, revenues or profits of the domestic operating entity of the issuer in the most recent accounting year account for more than 50% of the corresponding figure in the issuer’s audited consolidated financial statements for the same period; and (2) the senior management in charge of business operation and management of the issuer are mostly Chinese citizens or have domicile in China, and the issuer’s main places of business are located in China or main business activities are conducted in China. Numerous regulations, guidelines and other measures have been or are expected to be adopted under the umbrella of or in addition to the Cyber Security Law and Data Security Law. As there are still uncertainties regarding the interpretation and implementation of such regulatory guidance, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with new regulatory requirements relating to our future overseas capital-raising activities and we may become subject to more stringent requirements with respect to matters including data privacy and cross-border investigation and enforcement of legal claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the date of this prospectus, we are not aware of any Chinese laws or regulations in effect requiring that we obtain permission from any Chinese authority to issue securities to foreign investors, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction or any regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC, the CAC or any other Chinese authorities that have jurisdiction over our operations.

Our business is subject to various government regulations and regulatory interference. As of the date of this prospectus, each of our PRC subsidiaries has received all requisite permissions and approvals from the Chinese authorities for the operation of our business in the PRC, including but not limited to the business license from the SAMR, sewage discharge permits, pollution discharge registration of stationary pollution source, customs registration certificate for customs declaration entities, record-filing form for entry-exit inspection and quarantine for declaration enterprise, food operation permit, and those with respect to environment protection and fire safety inspection, as applicable, and such permissions and approvals are valid and have not been revoked. Based on the PRC laws and regulations currently effective, we, including our subsidiaries, are not subject to any pre-approval requirement, filing or reporting from Chinese authorities, including the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, or Cybersecurity Administration Committee, or CAC, to conduct this offering or list on U.S. exchanges or issue securities to foreign investors or to obtain any further permissions to conduct our current business in the PRC in addition to the permits currently held by us to operate our general business activities. Nevertheless, we may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. Furthermore, given recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and there are uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system and changes in laws, regulations and policies, including how those laws and regulations will be interpreted or implemented, although as of the date of this prospectus, we have not been involved in any investigations initiated by the applicable government regulatory authorities, nor have we received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanction in such respect, it is uncertain whether or when we might be subject to such requirements, permission and approval from any related PRC government to list our shares on Nasdaq in the future. If approval is required in the future and we were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange or it may adversely affect our business and results of operation, which would materially affect the interest of the investors. It is uncertain when and whether the Company will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to continue to list on U.S. exchanges or to conduct our current business in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although we are currently not required to obtain any pre-approval requirement from any of the PRC central or local government and we have not received any denial to conduct this offering, to list on the U.S. exchange or to conduct our current business, our operations may be adversely affected in the future, directly or indirectly, by existing or future PRC laws and regulations if PRC regulatory authorities do not take the same view as us. If the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering and any follow-on offering, we may be unable to obtain such approvals which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before the settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares that we are offering. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to the settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares we are offering, you would be doing so at the risk that the settlement and delivery may not occur. Any uncertainties or negative publicity regarding such approval requirements could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete this offering or any follow-on offering of our securities or the market for and market price of our ordinary shares. However, currently, we are not required to obtain additional permission or approval from Chinese authorities, including the CSRC and the CAC, to either approve our PRC subsidiaries’ operation or to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors.

Based on the above and our understanding of the Chinese laws and regulations currently in effect as of the date of this prospectus, we are not required to submit an application to the CSRC or the CAC for the approval of this offering and the listing and trading of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq. However, there remains significant uncertainty as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements related to overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities. If it is determined in the future that the approval or filing of the CSRC, CAC or any other regulatory authority is required for this offering, we may face sanctions by the CSRC, the CAC or other Chinese regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit our operations in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into China or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our ordinary shares. The CSRC, the CAC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of the ordinary shares. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery, you do so at the risk that settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the CSRC, the CAC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such an approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of the ordinary shares.

Compliance with China’s new Data Security Law, Cybersecurity Review Measures, Personal Information Protection Law, regulations and guidelines relating to the multi-level protection scheme and any other future laws and regulations may entail significant expenses and could materially affect our business.

China has implemented or will implement rules and is considering a number of additional proposals relating to data protection. China’s new Data Security Law took effect in September 2021. The Data Security Law provides that the data processing activities must be conducted based on “data classification and hierarchical protection system” for the purpose of data protection and prohibits entities in China from transferring data stored in China to foreign law enforcement agencies or judicial authorities without prior approval by the Chinese government.

Additionally, China’s Cyber Security Law requires companies to take certain organizational, technical and administrative measures and other necessary measures to ensure the security of their networks and data stored on their networks. Specifically, the Cyber Security Law provides that China adopt a multi-level protection scheme (MLPS), under which network operators are required to perform obligations of security protection to ensure that the network is free from interference, disruption or unauthorized access, and prevent network data from being disclosed, stolen or tampered. Under the MLPS, entities operating information systems must have a thorough assessment of the risks and the conditions of their information and network systems to determine the level to which the entity’s information and network systems belong-from the lowest Level 1 to the highest Level 5 pursuant to a series of national standards on the grading and implementation of the classified protection of cyber security. The grading result will determine the set of security protection obligations that entities must comply with. Entities classified as Level 2 or above should report the grade to the relevant government authority for examination and approval.

Recently, the Cyberspace Administration of China has taken action against several Chinese internet companies in connection with their initial public offerings on U.S. securities exchanges, for alleged national security risks and improper collection and use of the personal information of Chinese data subjects. According to the official announcement, the action was initiated based on the National Security Law, the Cyber Security Law and the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which are aimed at “preventing national data security risks, maintaining national security and safeguarding public interests.” On December 28, 2021, the CAC published an amendment to the Cybersecurity Review Measures which have been in effect since June 1, 2020 and is to become effective on February 15, 2022, expanding the cybersecurity review to network platform operators in possession of personal information of over 1 million users if the operators intend to list their securities in a foreign country.

It is unclear at the present time how widespread the cybersecurity review requirement and the enforcement action will be and what effect they will have on the manufacturing and healthcare sectors generally and the Company in particular. China’s regulators may impose penalties for non-compliance ranging from fines or suspension of operations, and this could lead to us delisting from the U.S. stock market.

The National People’s Congress released the Personal Information Protection Law, which has become effective on November 1, 2021. The Personal Information Protection Law provides a comprehensive set of data privacy and protection requirements that apply to the processing of personal information and expands data protection compliance obligations to cover the processing of personal information of persons by organizations and individuals in China, and the processing of personal information of persons in China outside of China if such processing is for purposes of providing products and services to, or analyzing and evaluating the behavior of, persons in China. The Personal Information Protection Law also provides that critical information infrastructure operators and personal information processing entities who process personal information meeting a volume threshold to be set by Chinese cyberspace regulators are also required to store in China personal information generated or collected in China, and to pass a security assessment administered by Chinese cyberspace regulators for any export of such personal information. Lastly, the Personal Information Protection Law contains proposals for significant fines for serious violations of up to RMB 50 million (approximately $7.7 million) or 5% of annual revenues from the prior year and may also be ordered to suspend any related activity by competent authorities.

Interpretation, application and enforcement of these laws, rules and regulations evolve from time to time and their scope may change, through new legislation, amendments to existing legislation or changes in enforcement. Compliance with the Cyber Security Law and the Data Security Law could significantly increase the cost to us of providing our service offerings, require significant changes to our operations or even prevent us from providing certain service offerings in jurisdictions in which we currently operate or in which we may operate in the future. Despite our efforts to comply with applicable laws, regulations and other obligations relating to privacy, data protection and information security, it is possible that our practices, offerings or platform could fail to meet all of the requirements imposed on us by the Cyber Security Law, the Data Security Law and/or related implementing regulations. Any failure on our part to comply with such law or regulations or any other obligations relating to privacy, data protection or information security, or any compromise of security that results in unauthorized access, use or release of personally identifiable information or other data, or the perception or allegation that any of the foregoing types of failure or compromise has occurred, could damage our reputation, discourage new and existing counterparties from contracting with us or result in investigations, fines, suspension or other penalties by Chinese government authorities and private claims or litigation, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if our practices are not subject to legal challenge, the perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may harm our reputation and brand and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the legal uncertainty created by the Data Security Law and the recent Chinese government actions could materially adversely affect our ability, on favorable terms, to raise capital, including engaging in follow-on offerings of our securities in the U.S. market once we are a public company.

We have entered into land use right assignment transaction with PRC government authority and we may be subject to penalties for failure to fully comply with the contract thereunder.

Under PRC laws and regulations, if the land assignee fails to develop and use the land according to the terms of the land use right assignment contract (including those relating to designated use of land, time for commencement and completion of development of the land) or fails to pay any outstanding land grant premium by the stipulated deadlines, the relevant government authorities may issue a warning to, or impose a penalty on, the land assignee or require the land assignee to forfeit the land use rights. Specifically, under current PRC laws, if land assignee fails to pay any outstanding land grant premium by the stipulated deadlines, the land assignee may be subject to late land fees or the repossession of the land by the PRC government. If land assignee fails to commence development within one year of the commencement date stipulated in the land use right assignment contract, the relevant PRC land bureau may issue a warning to the land assignee and impose an idle land penalty of up to 20% of the land premium.

If the land assignee fails to commence development within two years from the commencement date stipulated in the land use right assignment contract, the relevant PRC land bureau may confiscate its land use right without compensation, except where the delay in the development is attributable to a force majeure event or the action of relevant government department or delay in the requisite preliminary work preceding commencement of such development. Moreover, under typical land use right assignment contracts, violation of certain terms under the land use right assignment contracts may subject the land assignee to claims on liquidated damages equivalent to certain percentage of the total purchase price for the right to use the state-owned construction land.

Bohong Technology, has entered into the State-Owned Construction Land Use Right Assignment Contract (the “Assignment Contract”) with Hanjiang Branch of Yangzhou Land and Resource Bureau (the “Hanjiang Land Bureau”) for a land parcel in Yangzhou. According to the Assignment Contract, Bohong Technology shall commence construction prior to August 28, 2020 or such later date as agreed by Hanjiang Land Bureau. The Assignment Contract also provides that if Bohong Technology cannot commence construction on schedule, it shall apply to Hanjiang Land Bureau for an extension of thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled commencement date; if such extension is approved by Hanjiang Land Bureau, the completion date of the construction project shall be extended accordingly, provided that the extended construction period shall not exceed one year. However, due to COVID-19 and its impact on economic and social activities, Bohong Technology failed to commence construction on schedule and failed to apply to and obtain the approval for extension within the prescribed 30-day period. Pursuant to the Assignment Contract, if Bohong Technology fails to commence construction on the scheduled date or a later date as agreed by Hanjiang Land Bureau, for each day of delay, Bohong Technology shall pay Hanjiang Land Bureau a liquidated damage equivalent to 0.1% of the total purchase price for the right to use the state-owned construction land. The Assignment Contract provides further that if the land is left idle for not less than one year but not more than two years, Bohong Technology shall pay the land idle fees according to the applicable laws.

As of the date of this prospectus, Hanjiang Land Bureau requests Bohong Technology to complete the construction project on or prior to August 28, 2022 as indicated in the Assignment Contract without granting any extension. As of the date of this prospectus, Bohong Technology has not commenced the development of the construction project, and thus the land is left idle. If we fail to obtain a written wavier from Hanjiang Land Bureau, we may be exposed to a liquidated damage in the amount of approximately RMB5.98 million (approximately $925,697) calculated as of February 28, 2022, and we may be exposed to land idle fees up to 20% of the land premium, which, in turn, may have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that circumstances leading to the repossession of land or delays in the commencement and completion of construction on our acquired land in Yangzhou will not arise in the future. If our land is repossessed, we will not be able to continue our construction on the forfeited land, recover the costs incurred for the initial acquisition of the repossessed land or recover construction costs and other costs incurred up to the date of the repossession. In addition, we cannot assure you that regulations relating to idle land or other aspects of land use right assignment contracts will not become more restrictive or punitive in the future. If we fail to comply with the terms of any land use right assignment contract as a result of delays in land construction, or as a result of other factor, we may lose the opportunity to develop the land as well as our past investments in the land, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to comply with regulations related to export of processed materials may result in fines and legal or administrative actions.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021, our products were exported from PRC to branded customers around the world, especially in Switzerland, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and Japan. Pursuant to the Regulation of the PRC on the Implementation of Customs Administrative Punishment, for a PRC entity managing businesses such as the transportation, storage, processing, assembly, consignment sale and exhibition of goods under customs supervision, if it fails to provide justifiable reasons for the relevant goods that are lost or short in quantity or whose records are untrue, a fine of 5% up to 30% the value of goods may be imposed upon, and the illegal gains shall be confiscated. During the year ended December 31, 2018, due to administrative oversight, one of our PRC subsidiaries, Dongguan Forwell, arbitrarily supplied the bonded materials which it imported for third party’s use (including for the use of Dongguan Yuantai Sports Equipment Co., Ltd., as Dongguan Forwell’s affiliate at that time); as a result, the short of bonded materials was identified and a fine of RMB 492,500 (approximately $76,238) was imposed upon Dongguan Forwell, and the fine was duly paid by Dongguan Forwell.

As we aim to increase our presence in overseas market, we are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties associated with exporting of goods, such as compliance with foreign laws and regulatory requirements, foreign taxes and trade barriers. Any failure to comply with regulations related to import of raw materials or export of processed materials may result in fines and legal or administrative actions, which may have material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Any lack of requisite approvals, licenses, permits or filings or failure to comply with any requirements of PRC laws, regulations and policies may materially and adversely affect our daily operations.

In accordance with the relevant PRC laws and regulations, we are required to maintain various approvals, licenses, permits and filings to operate our business, including but not limited to business license, sewage discharge permits, pollution discharge registration of stationary pollution source, customs registration certificate for customs declaration entities, record-filing form for entry-exit inspection and quarantine for declaration enterprise, food operation permit, and those with respect to environment protection and fire safety inspection. The obtaining of these approvals, licenses, permits and filings are subject to satisfactory compliance with, among other things, the applicable laws and regulations.

Furthermore, uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of relevant legal requirements regarding certain licenses and permits. In practice, relevant government authorities may take the view that certain license is not required for operating our business though there may be different interpretations with respect to the licensing requirements. We cannot assure you that relevant government authorities’ interpretation on such licensing requirements will remain the same in the future. If we are required to obtain relevant licenses, we will have to obtain those licenses in a timely manner. In addition, government authorities may impose additional licenses or permits or provides more strict supervision requirements when we make application, extension or renewal of licenses or permits. There is no guarantee that we would be able to obtain such licenses or permits or meet all the supervision requirements in a timely manner, or at all, or that they will not be subsequently revoked by relevant authorities. If we are unable to obtain any of such licenses and permits or extend or renew any of our current licenses or permits upon their expirations, or if we are required to incur significant additional costs to obtain or renew these licenses, permits and approvals, our daily operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We may be subject to additional contributions under various employee benefits plans and late payments and fines imposed by relevant governmental authorities.

Companies operating in PRC are required to participate in various government-sponsored employee benefit plans, including certain social insurance, housing provident funds and other welfare-oriented payment obligations, and contribute to the plans in amounts equal to certain percentages of salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of employees up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time at locations where our employees are based.

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, two of our PRC subsidiaries, Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell, did not make adequate contributions for the social insurance premiums, consisted of pension premium, medical insurance premium, work-related injury insurance premium, unemployment insurance premium and maternity insurance premium, for our employees in accordance with the statutory payment base required by the relevant PRC laws. Our failure in paying the social insurance premiums may subject us to any order to pay the shortfall of the social security insurance premiums within the prescribed time limited by the relevant PRC governmental authority. As of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, we provided in the sum of approximately RMB2.9 million (approximately $0.4 million), RMB4.6 million (approximately $0.7 million) and RMB 4.7 million (approximately $0.7 million) for the underpaid social insurance premiums, respectively.

Furthermore, Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell may be liable for a late fee of 0.5% per day of the underpaid amount, calculated from the original due date of such underpaid amount. In the event that Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell failed to pay the underpaid amount within the period specified by the PRC authority, a fine of no less than one time and up to three times of the aggregate unpaid amount may be imposed. Furthermore, the relevant PRC governmental authority may apply the relevant administrative department for a decision on the allocation of the social insurance premium and notify the bank in writing for the allocation of the social insurance premium from Dongguan YMA’s and Dongguan Forwell’s bank accounts. If the balance of the bank account of Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell is insufficient to cover the underpaid amount, the relevant PRC governmental authority may order Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell to offer guarantee. If Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell still fail to pay the social insurance premium in full amount and do not provide guarantee, the relevant PRC governmental authority may apply to competent people’s court for compulsory enforcement.

In addition, Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell did not make adequate contributions for the housing provident fund for certain employees or pay such fund for our employees in accordance with the statutory payment base required by the relevant PRC laws. The reason for Dongguan YMA’s and Dongguan Forwell’s failure to pay the housing provident fund for part of their employees is that those employees are not willing to participate in the housing provident fund scheme and pay the housing provident fund. In this regard, Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell may be ordered to pay the housing provident fund by the relevant PRC governmental authority. As of December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, we have provided in the sum of approximately RMB2.4 million (approximately $0.3 million), RMB3.4 million (approximately $0.5 million) and RMB4.3 million (approximately $0.7 million) for the underpaid housing provident fund, respectively. If Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell fail to make the payment within the specified period, the relevant PRC governmental authority may apply to the competent people’s court for compulsory enforcement.

Failure to comply with PRC laws and regulations on employees’ overtime wages payment may expose us to potential compensations.

From time to time, we are under tight production schedule in order to meet customers’ requested timeline in different projects, and this, we may require employees to work overtime in order to fulfill the tight production schedule. Under the PRC labor law and regulations, employers are required to pay overtime wages to employees for the extended working hours. According to the PRC Labor Law, wage payments to an employee shall be no less than 150% of his/her wage if such employee is required to work longer hours during business days; wage payments to an employee shall be no less than 200% of his/her wages if such employee is required to work on days off and no rest can be arranged ex post facto; and wage payments to an employee shall be no less than 300% of his/her wages if such employee is required to work on national holidays. Two of our PRC subsidiaries, Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell, have not formulated an employee overtime system and did not pay overtime wages to their employees for the extended working hours as they made payment to the employees on a piecework basis. There exists the circumstance that Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell requested their employees to work overtime but did not pay overtime wages to such employees. Failure to make overtime wages payment to employees may lead to the relevant PRC governmental authority’s order on Dongguan YMA and Dongguan Forwell to pay overtime wages to employees who worked overtime within a prescribed time limit. If Dongguan YMA or Dongguan Forwell failed to do so, it may be ordered to pay a compensation of not less than fifty percent and up to one time the aggregate unpaid amount to the employees.

In addition, there can be no assurance that there will be additional or new labor laws, rules and regulations in the PRC, which may lead to potential increases in the labor costs with our employees. In such events, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protections available to you and us.

We have three subsidiaries in the PRC and all of which are subject to various PRC laws and regulations generally applicable to companies in the PRC. The PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Unlike common law systems, it is a system in which legal cases have limited value as precedents. In the late 1970s, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past four decades has significantly increased the protections afforded to various forms of foreign or private-sector investment in the PRC.

As relevant laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involve uncertainties.

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

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

The PRC Labor Law and the Labor Contract Law require that employers must execute written employment contracts with full-time employees. All employers must compensate their employees with wages equal to at least the local minimum wage standards. Violations of the PRC Labor Law and the Labor Contract Law may result in the imposition of fines, compensations and other administrative sanctions, and serious violations may constitute criminal offenses.

The PRC Labor Contract Law became effective and was implemented on January 1, 2008, which was amended on December 28, 2012. It has reinforced the protection of employees who, under the PRC Labor Contract Law, have the right, among others, to enter into written labor contracts, to enter into labor contracts with no fixed terms under certain circumstances, to receive overtime wages and to terminate or alter terms in labor contracts. According to the PRC Social Insurance Law, which became effective on July 1, 2011, and was amended on December 29, 2018, and the Administrative Regulations on the Housing Provident Funds, companies operating in PRC are required to participate in pension insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance and housing provident funds plans, and the employers must pay all or a portion of the social insurance premiums and housing provident funds for their employees.

As the interpretation and implementation of these laws and regulations are still evolving, our employment practice may not at all times be deemed in compliance with the new laws and regulations. If we are subject to severe penalties or incur significant liabilities in connection with labor disputes or investigations, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

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

Currently, most of our production is conducted in PRC. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in PRC generally and by continued economic growth in PRC as a whole.

PRC’s economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the level of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the PRC government has implemented measures since the late 1970’s emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, which are generally viewed as a positive development for foreign business investment, a substantial portion of productive assets in PRC is still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises significant control over the PRC economic growth through allocating resources, controlling payments of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While PRC’s economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the rate of growth has been slowing down. Some of the governmental measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. Any stimulus measures designed to boost the Chinese economy may contribute to higher inflation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higher inflation. In addition, the PRC government has implemented in the past certain measures to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity, which in turn could lead to a reduction in demand for our products and services, and consequently have a material adverse effect on our businesses, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to comply with PRC laws and regulations on leased property may expose us to potential fines.

Certain of our leasehold interests in leased properties have not been registered with the relevant PRC governmental authorities as required by PRC law, which may expose us to potential fines if we fail to remediate after receiving any notice from the relevant PRC government authorities. Our PRC subsidiary, Dongguan YMA, has subleased real properties located at Factory #B, No. 8, Block A, No. 128 Industrial Zone, Tangxia Town, Dongguan City, PRC to our another PRC subsidiary, Dongguan Forwell for its production and office, and they have not processed the lease registration in respect of such sub-lease. According to the Measures for Dongguan Housing Lease Management in the PRC, the parties to a lease agreement shall, within 15 days from the date of signing the lease, apply to the local housing rental management administrative authority where the house is located for the lease registration. Failure to process with the lease registration may lead to the administrative authority’s order on the lessor to make corrections within a prescribed time limit and a fine ranging from one to three times the monthly rent will be imposed on the lessor. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been ordered by relevant governmental authorities for failure of registering our lease agreements. However, we may still be subject to potential fines if we fail to remediate after receiving any notice from the relevant PRC government authorities.

Failure to conform to the employment agreement regarding the practice of reassignment of employees’ job positions may expose us to lawsuits.

We enter into employment agreements with our employees when there are new hires and will reassign an employee’s job position when we need to meet production and operation demands or for other administrative reasons. We adopt our template employment agreement when entering into employment with our employees. Pursuant to the template employment agreement adopted by one of our PRC subsidiaries, Dongguan Forwell, if Dongguan Forwell intends to reassign an employee’s job position due to production and operation demands or other reasons, it shall reach a consensus with its employee through negotiation and the parties shall enter into a supplemental agreement. However, during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2019 there were labor lawsuits where Dongguan Forwell unilaterally reassigned the employees’ job positions without reaching consensus with the employees, and Dongguan Forwell further terminated the employment agreement with the employees when the employees rejected to follow the reassignment. In such lawsuits, the court determined that Dongguan Forwell violated the relevant PRC labor laws for its unilateral termination of the employment agreement. As of the date of this prospectus, the abovementioned lawsuits have been duly settled and we are not aware of any other potential labor lawsuit in respect of the reassignment of employees’ job positions.  However, if we are unable to conform to the employment agreement terms in any further reassignment of employees’ job positions, we may be liable for fines assessed by the relevant governmental authorities or incur settlement costs in order to resolve labor disputes and, and we may even be subject to higher labor costs in the future when recruiting new employees due to the reputation damage caused by labor disputes or related incidents.

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

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions and the foreign exchange policy adopted by the PRC government. In August 2015, the People’s Bank of China, or PBOC, changed the way it calculates the mid-point price of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar, requiring the market-makers who submit for reference rates to consider the previous day’s closing spot rate, foreign-exchange demand and supply as well as changes in major currency rates. In 2017, the value of the Renminbi appreciated by approximately 6.3% against the U.S. dollar; and in 2018, the Renminbi depreciated by approximately 5.7% against the U.S. dollar. From the end of 2018 through the end of June 2021, the value of the Renminbi appreciated by approximately 7.2% against the U.S. dollar. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy, including any interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve, may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a more flexible currency policy, including from the U.S. government, which has threatened to label China as a “currency manipulator,” which could result in greater fluctuation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar.

Governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to utilize our net revenues effectively and affect the value of your investment.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency into or out of China, which essentially may restrict the ability to transfer funds into or out of China. We receive part of our revenues in Renminbi. Under our current corporate structure, our Cayman Islands holding company relies on dividend payments from our PRC subsidiaries to fund some of the cash and financing requirements we may have. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval of the SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. Specifically, under the existing exchange restrictions, without prior approval of SAFE, cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiaries in China may be used to pay dividends to our company. However, approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, we need to obtain SAFE approval to use cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiaries to pay off their respective debt in a currency other than Renminbi owed to entities outside China, or to make other capital expenditure payments outside China in a currency other than Renminbi. The PRC government may at its discretion restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions in the future. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.

Our PRC subsidiaries are subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements.

We are an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands structured as a holding company. We may need dividends and other distributions on equity from our PRC subsidiaries to satisfy our liquidity requirements. Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to their respective shareholders only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of PRC subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds until the total amount set aside reaches 50% of its registered capital. Each of our PRC subsidiaries may also, at its discretion, allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on its articles of association and PRC accounting standards to certain reserve funds. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to distribute dividends or to make payments to us may restrict our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements.

In addition, the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax rate of up to 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to non-PRC-resident enterprises unless otherwise exempted or reduced according to treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC-resident enterprises are incorporated.

PRC regulation on loans to, and direct investment in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control in currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our initial public offering to make loans to or make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

We are an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands structured as a holding company conducting our partial operations in China through our PRC subsidiaries. As permitted under PRC laws and regulations, in utilizing the proceeds of our initial public offering, we may make loans to our PRC subsidiaries subject to the approval from governmental authorities and limitation of amount, or we may make additional capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries. Furthermore, loans by us to our PRC subsidiaries to finance its activities cannot exceed the difference between their respective total project investment amount and registered capital or 2.5 times of their net worth and capital contributions to our PRC subsidiaries are subject to the requirement of making necessary filings in the Foreign Investment Comprehensive Management Information System and registration with other governmental authorities in China.

The SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19, effective on June 1, 2015, in replacement of the Circular on the Relevant Operating Issues Concerning the Improvement of the Administration of the Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, the Notice from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Relevant Issues Concerning Strengthening the Administration of Foreign Exchange Businesses, and the Circular on Further Clarification and Regulation of the Issues Concerning the Administration of Certain Capital Account Foreign Exchange Businesses. According to SAFE Circular 19, the flow and use of the RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested company is regulated such that RMB capital may not be used for the issuance of RMB entrusted loans, the repayment of inter-enterprise loans or the repayment of bank loans that have been transferred to a third party. Although SAFE Circular 19 allows RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise to be used for equity investments within the PRC, it also reiterates the principle that RMB converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital of a foreign-invested company may not be directly or indirectly used for purposes beyond its business scope. Thus, it is unclear whether the SAFE will permit such capital to be used for equity investments in the PRC in actual practice. The SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Standardizing the Foreign Exchange Settlement Management Policy of Capital Account, or SAFE Circular 16, effective on June 9, 2016, which reiterates some of the rules set forth in SAFE Circular 19, but changes the prohibition against using RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested company to issue RMB entrusted loans to a prohibition against using such capital to grant loans to non-associated enterprises. Violations of SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16 could result in administrative penalties. SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16 may significantly limit our ability to transfer any foreign currency we hold, including the net proceeds from our initial public offering, to our PRC subsidiaries, which may adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business in the PRC.

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

Certain PRC regulations may make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions.

Among other things, the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies in 2006 and amended in 2009, established additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex. Such regulation requires, among other things, that the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, or the MOFCOM, be notified in advance of any change-of-control transaction in which a foreign investor acquires control of a PRC domestic enterprise or a foreign company with substantial PRC operations, if certain thresholds under the Provisions on Thresholds for Prior Notification of Concentrations of Undertakings, issued by the State Council in 2008, are triggered. Moreover, the Anti-Monopoly Law promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress which became effective in 2008 requires that transactions which are deemed concentrations and involve parties with specified turnover thresholds must be cleared by the Anti-Monopoly Bureau of State Administration for Market Regulation, or the Anti-Monopoly Bureau before they can be completed. In addition, PRC national security review rules which became effective in September 2011 require acquisitions by foreign investors of PRC companies engaged in military related or certain other industries that are crucial to national security be subject to security review before consummation of any such acquisition. We may pursue potential strategic acquisitions that are complementary to our business and operations. Complying with the requirements of these regulations to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval or clearance from the MOFCOM or the Anti-Monopoly Bureau or its local counterparts, may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.

Enhanced scrutiny over acquisition transactions by the PRC tax authorities may have a negative impact on potential acquisitions we may pursue in the future.

Pursuant to the Notice on Strengthening Administration of Enterprise Income Tax for Share Transfers by Non-PRC Resident Enterprises, or SAT Circular 698, issued by China’s State Administration of Taxation (“SAT”) on December 10, 2009, where a foreign investor transfers the equity interests of a resident enterprise indirectly via disposition of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, or an “indirect transfer,” and such overseas holding company is located in a tax jurisdiction that (i) has an effective tax rate less than 12.5% or (ii) does not tax foreign income of its residents, the foreign investor shall report the indirect transfer to the competent PRC tax authority. The PRC tax authority will examine the true nature of the indirect transfer, and if the tax authority considers that the foreign investor has adopted an “abusive arrangement” in order to avoid PRC tax, it may disregard the existence of the overseas holding company and re-characterize the indirect transfer and as a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%.

On February 3, 2015, the SAT issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Several Issues Concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Property Transfer by Non-Resident Enterprises, or SAT Bulletin 7, to supersede existing provisions in relation to the “indirect transfer” as set forth in SAT Circular 698, while the other provisions of SAT Circular 698 remain in force. Pursuant to SAT Bulletin 7, where a non-resident enterprise indirectly transfers properties such as equity in PRC resident enterprises without any justifiable business purposes and aiming to avoid the payment of enterprise income tax, such indirect transfer must be reclassified as a direct transfer of equity in PRC resident enterprise. To assess whether an indirect transfer of PRC taxable properties has reasonable commercial purposes, all arrangements related to the indirect transfer must be considered comprehensively and factors set forth in SAT Bulletin 7 must be comprehensively analyzed in light of the actual circumstances. SAT Bulletin 7 also provides that, where a non-PRC resident enterprise transfers its equity interests in a resident enterprise to its related parties at a price lower than the fair market value, the competent tax authority has the power to make a reasonable adjustment to the taxable income of the transaction.

On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Announcement of the State Administration of Taxation on Matters Concerning Withholding of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises as Source, or SAT Bulletin 37, which repealed the entire SAT Circular 698 and the provision in relation to the time limit for the withholding agent to declare to the competent tax authority for payment of such tax of SAT Bulletin 7. Pursuant to SAT Bulletin 37, the income from a property transfer, as stipulated in the second item under Article 19 of the Enterprise Income Tax Law, shall include the income derived from transferring such equity investment assets as stock equity. The balance of deducting the equity’s net value from the total income from equity transfer shall be taxable income from equity transfer. Where a withholding agent enters into a business contract, involving the income specified in the third paragraph of Article 3 in the Enterprise Income Tax Law, with a non-resident enterprise, the tax-excluding income of the non-resident enterprise will be treated as the tax-including income, based on which the tax payment will be calculated and remitted, if it is agreed in the contract that the withholding agent shall assume the tax payable.

During the effective period of SAT Circular 698 and by the application of SAT Bulletin 7 and SAT Bulletin 37, some intermediary holding companies were actually looked through by the PRC tax authorities, and consequently the non-PRC resident investors were deemed to have transferred the PRC subsidiary and PRC corporate taxes were assessed accordingly. It is possible that we or our non-PRC resident investors may become at risk of being taxed under SAT Bulletin 7 and SAT Bulletin 37 and may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with SAT Bulletin 7 and SAT Bulletin 37 or to establish that we or our non-PRC resident investors should not be taxed under SAT Bulletin 7 and SAT Bulletin 37, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations or such non-PRC resident investors’ investment in us.

It may be difficult for overseas shareholders and/or regulators to conduct investigation or collect evidence within PRC.

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigation that are common in the U.S. generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in PRC. For example, in PRC, there are significant legal and other obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside PRC or otherwise with respect to foreign entities. Although the authorities in PRC may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States may not be efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, which became effective in March 2020, or Article 177, the securities regulatory authority of the State Council may collaborate with securities regulatory authorities of other countries or regions in order to monitor and oversee cross border securities activities. Article 177 further provides that no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC, and that any Chinese entities and individuals are not allowed to provide documents or materials related to securities business activities to overseas agencies without prior consent of the securities regulatory authority of the State Council and the competent departments of the State Council. While detailed interpretation of or implementation rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within PRC may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in PRC against us or our directors and officers based on foreign laws.

We are an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and we conduct substantially all of our operations in Taiwan and PRC and substantially all of our assets are located in Taiwan and PRC. In addition, certain of our directors and officers reside outside the U.S. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the U.S. or elsewhere outside PRC upon us or those persons. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the U.S. or any state.

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

Regulation and censorship of information disseminated over the internet in PRC may adversely affect our business, and we may be liable for content that is displayed on our website.

PRC has enacted laws and regulations governing internet access and the distribution of products, services, news, information, audio-video programs and other content through the internet. In the past, the PRC government has prohibited the distribution of information through the internet that it deems to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations. If any of our internet information was deemed by the PRC government to violate any content restrictions, we would not be able to continue to display such content and could become subject to penalties, including confiscation of income, fines, suspension of business and revocation of required licenses, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may also be subject to potential liability for any unlawful actions of our customers or users of our website or for content we distribute that is deemed inappropriate. It may be difficult to determine the type of content that may result in liability to us, and if we are found to be liable, we may be prevented from operating our website in PRC.

Additional factors outside of our control related to doing business in PRC could negatively affect our business.

Additional factors that could negatively affect our business include a potential significant revaluation of the Renminbi, which may result in an increase in the cost of producing products in PRC, labor shortages and increases in labor costs in PRC as well as difficulties in moving products manufactured in PRC out of the country, whether due to port congestion, labor disputes, slowdowns, product regulations and/or inspections or other factors. Prolonged disputes or slowdowns can negatively impact both the time and cost of transporting goods. Natural disasters or health pandemics impacting PRC can also have a significant negative impact on our business. Further, the imposition of trade sanctions or other regulations against products imported by us from, or the loss of “normal trade relations” status with, PRC, could significantly increase our cost of products exported outside of PRC and harm our business.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We rely on raw materials supplied by our suppliers for the production of our products which exposes us to risk of production shortages and fluctuations in prices of raw materials.

Our major raw materials comprise carbon fiber yam and resin. We generally purchase carbon fiber yam and resin from independent suppliers in Japan. The procurement of such raw materials required to manufacture carbon fiber composite material, which is a key component of our products, represents a major component of our cost of sales. Any failure to secure adequate supplies of such raw materials or any interruptions in any part of the supply chain may disrupt our operations. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, the purchases from our top supplier accounted for approximately 28.9% and 22.6% of our total purchases, respectively. We cannot assure you that our relationship with our top supplier will continue to be as stable, or that our current supplier will continue to supply products to us on terms acceptable to us, or that we will be able to establish new or extend current supplier relationships to ensure a steady supply in a timely and cost-efficient manner. If our relationships with our important suppliers are terminated, interrupted, or modified in any way adverse to us, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In addition, these raw materials used in our manufacturing are subject to price volatility caused by external conditions, such as market supply and demand, commodity price fluctuations, government control, business performance and operational needs (such as scheduled maintenance shutdowns) of the suppliers, which are beyond our control. For instance, there was certain price volatility for carbon fiber yam during the year ended December 31, 2020 due to regulatory investigation on a carbon fiber supplier in Japan, who is one of our carbon fiber suppliers, by the Japanese government. The said carbon fiber supplier exported a portion of carbon fiber products, which had been transferred to third parties to which such supplier had no license to export the products. In this regard, the Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry of Japan has issued a warning to request the said supplier to implement recurrence prevention measures and strict security export control. Such event raised concern in the market as to the stable supply of carbon fiber by such supplier for a short period of time. As such, our supplier base has ever since been diversified to include more suppliers in Taiwan. However, if any price volatility occurs again and we fail to effectively manage the price fluctuations in our raw materials or transfer the increased costs to our customers or modify our products or adjust our procurement strategy, any significant increase in the prices of our major raw materials would affect our profit margin and more generally, our business, financial condition and prospect.

If we fail to adopt new technologies or develop new manufacturing technologies or adapt our products to evolving customer requirements, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Our edge lies in our carbon fiber composite materials, which as key structural component is used or featured in electronic bicycles, sports bicycles, rackets, other sporting goods, automobile and healthcare products for its light, stiff and durable qualities. As such it is crucial that the functionality, compatibility and quality of our carbon fiber composite materials can be designed and manufactured in a manner effective for and compatible to the respective purpose of electronic bicycles, rackets, other sporting goods, automobile, healthcare products and any other new products our customers request us to co-design or co-develop.

As the developments of certain of these goods and products, or goods and products that carbon fiber composite materials are increasingly used or featured in (such as electric vehicles), are evolving and speeding up at a rapid pace, we prioritize and invest heavily in the research and development of new technologies to enhance the qualities of lightweight and durability in our products. We need to continue to enhance and improve by adopting new technologies, develop new manufacturing technologies as well as adapt our products to the evolving customer requirements and preferences so as to keep up with the market trends and industry competition. If we are unable to anticipate the evolving customer requirements and preferences or the market trends and respond effectively and timely, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We recorded a negative cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the six months ended June 30, 2021, which may continue in the future.

We recorded a negative cash flow from operating activities of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. For the main reason leading to the negative cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the six months ended June 30, 2021, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Cash Flows.” Although we seek to manage our working capital from time to time and we have unused credit lines from bank loans of the Group, we cannot assure you that we will be able to match the timing and amounts of our cash inflows with the timing and amounts of our payment obligations and other cash outflows. As a result, there could be a period during which we experience net cash outflow from operating activities. Net cash outflow from operating activities may impact our business growth and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We may incur losses in the future.

We had a net income of approximately $11.0 million and $1.1 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and approximately $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, while we had a net loss of approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. As a growing public company, we anticipate that our operating expenses might increase in the foreseeable future as we seek to maintain and continue to grow our business, attract potential customers and further enhance our product 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 profitability on a quarterly or annual basis for the foreseeable future.

Our production capacity may not correspond precisely to our production demands, and intended economic results may not be achieved if there is any significant increase in production demand which exceeds our production capacity or any idle or unutilized production capacity during any particular period.

We have two production lines for the manufacture of different types of carbon fiber composite, and all of the carbon fiber composites are applied as key structural parts of electric bicycles and sports bicycle, rackets, automobile and healthcare products and which are custom-made to the requests of our customers. Except for the outsourcing of part of the painting, cosmetic and sanding processes for greater cost efficiency, we do not outsource any production processes to independent sub-contractors. As our production demands depend on the specific orders of our customers, our actual production volume varies with various factors such as customers’ preferences, market trend, economic conditions, industry competitors’ pricing strategies or any other factors beyond our control. As a result, our production capacity may not correspond precisely to our production demands. If there is any significant increase in production demand which exceeds our production capacity, unless we are able to expand our production capacity or outsource certain production processes, we may have to reject orders from customers and intended economic results may not be achieved. And in case we opt for the outsourcing of certain production processes to meet production demands, we may experience a lower gross profit margin and it may be difficult to ensure the quality of the products. If the orders from our customers are not sufficient to fully utilize our production capacity and there is idle or unutilized production capacity which is much lower than the desired rate of utilization of our production lines, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate members of senior leadership, technical personnel and other employees.

Our success and growth are, to a large extent, attributable to our experienced talent pool of senior management team with strong execution capabilities, our highly skilled technical personnel who keep pace with the latest developments and manufacturing technologies in the carbon fiber composite industry, as well as our committed and qualified employees. Given the technology-driven nature of our business, as of the date of this prospectus, we have over 60 technical personnel who are responsible for research and development of new technologies and manufacturing technologies in relation to carbon fiber composite materials  and we made continued and substantial investment in our technical personnel by providing them with training and various types of incentives.

Notwithstanding our efforts to reward them for their services and contributions, there is no assurance that our compensation packages will attract and retain our senior management team, technical personnel and employees. In particular, we may not be able to recruit talents upon unanticipated departure of our members of senior management team or key technical personnel. In addition, to keep pace with our anticipated growth, we may need to recruit additional personnel with necessary industry expertise and such candidates may not be readily available. Therefore, any failure to attract, retain and motivate senior leadership, technical personnel and other employees may impact our competitiveness and our ability to meet our growth targets, and in turn, have an adverse impact on our business operations and profitability.

Our failure to comply with data protection laws and regulations could lead to government enforcement actions and significant penalties against us, and adversely impact our operating results.

The regulatory framework for the collection, use, safeguarding, sharing, transfer and other processing of personal information worldwide is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Regulatory authorities in virtually every jurisdiction in which we operate in Greater China and other Asian markets have implemented and are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning personal data protection.

Regulatory authorities in China have implemented and are considering a number of legislative and regulatory proposals concerning data protection. For example, the Cyber Security Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “Cyber Security Law”), which became effective in June 2017, created China’s first national-level data protection regime for “network operators,” which may include all organizations in China that provide services over the internet or other information network.

Under the Cyber Security Law, the transmission of certain personal information and important data outside of China is only permitted upon the completion of a security assessment conducted by or as determined by the Chinese government. Certain draft regulations, including the Measures for Security Assessment for Cross-border Transfer of Personal Information and Important Data (Draft for Comment), published in 2017, and the Measures for Security Assessment for Cross-border Transfer of Personal Information (Draft for Comment), published in 2019, have been proposed by the Chinese government that specify the procedures and stipulate more detailed compliance requirements relating to such assessment, and in certain circumstances, government approval, prior to the transmission of such information and data outside of China.

In addition, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China (“SCNPC”) promulgated the Data Security Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “Data Security Law”) on June 10, 2021, which became effective on September 1, 2021. The Data Security Law imposes data security and privacy obligations on entities and individuals carrying out data processing activities, and introduces a data classification and hierarchical protection system. The classification of data is based on its importance in economic and social development, as well as the degree of harm expected to be caused to national security, public interests, or legitimate rights and interests of individuals or organizations if such data is tampered with, destroyed, leaked, or illegally acquired or used. The security assessment mechanism was also included in the Personal Information Protection Law (the “Personal Information Protection Law”), which was promulgated in August 2021 and became effective on November 1, 2021, for the Chinese government to supervise certain cross-border transfers of personal information.

Under the Cyber Security Law and Data Security Law, we are required to establish and maintain a comprehensive data and network security management system that will enable us to monitor and respond appropriately to data security and network security risks. We will need to classify and take appropriate measures to address risks created by our data processing activities and use of networks. We will be obligated to notify affected individuals and appropriate Chinese regulators of and respond to any data security and network security incidents. Establishing and maintaining such systems takes substantial time, effort and cost, and we may not be able to establish and maintain such systems fully as needed to ensure compliance with our legal obligations. Despite our investment, such systems may not fully guard us or enable us to appropriately respond to or mitigate all data security and network security risks or incidents we face. Furthermore, under the Data Security Law, data categorized as “important data,” which will be determined by governmental authorities in the form of catalogs, is to be processed and handled with a higher level of protection. The notion of important data is not clearly defined by the Cyber Security Law or the Data Security Law. In order to comply with the statutory requirements, we will need to determine whether we possess important data, monitor the important data catalogs that are expected to be published by local governments and departments, perform risk assessments and ensure we are complying with reporting obligations to applicable regulators. We may also be required to disclose to regulators business-sensitive or network security-sensitive details regarding our processing of important data, and may need to pass the government security review or obtain government approval in order to share important data with offshore recipients, which can include foreign licensors, or share data stored in China with judicial and law enforcement authorities outside of China. If judicial and law enforcement authorities outside China require us to provide data stored in China, and we are not able to pass any required government security review or obtain any required government approval to do so, we may not be able to meet the foreign authorities’ requirements. The potential conflicts in legal obligations could have adverse impact on our operations in and outside of China.

Furthermore, on November 14, 2021, the CAC released a draft of the Administrative Regulations on Network Data Security, or Draft Regulations, for public comments. On December 28, 2021, the Cybersecurity Administration of China, China’s top cyberspace regulator, issued an amendment to the Cybersecurity Review Measures which have been in effect since June 1, 2020 and is to become effective on February 15, 2022. Under the amended Cybersecurity Review Measures, the scope of entities required to undergo cybersecurity review to assess national security risks that arise from data processing activities would be expanded to include all critical information infrastructure operators who purchase network products and services and all network platform operator carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security. In addition, the amended Cybersecurity Review Measures stipulates that all network platform operators that maintain or store the personal information of more than 1 million users and undertake a public listing of securities in a foreign country would be required to pass cybersecurity review, which would focus on the potential risk of core data, important data, or a large amount of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, illegally used or exported out of China, or critical information infrastructure being affected, controlled or maliciously used by foreign governments after such a listing. The Draft Regulations also stipulate that, among other items, for any listing to be done on a security exchange in a foreign country involving a “data processing operator” with personal information of more than one million users, such “data processing operator” shall report to the CAC for a cybersecurity review. The Draft Regulations were released for public comment only, and the draft provisions and anticipated adoption or effective date are subject to changes and thus its interpretation and implementation remain substantially uncertain. We cannot predict the impact of the Draft Regulations, if any, on our operations at this stage.

The national security legal regime imposes stricter data localization requirements on personal information and requires us to undergo cybersecurity or other security review, obtain government approval or certification, or put in place certain contractual protections before transferring personal information out of China. As a result, personal information and important data that we or our customers, suppliers, and other third parties collect, generate or process in China may be subject to such data localization requirements and heightened regulatory oversight and controls. To comply with these requirements, maintaining local data centers in China, conducting security assessments or obtaining the requisite approvals from the Chinese government for the transmission outside of China of such controlled information and data could significantly increase our operating costs or cause delays or disruptions in our business operations in and outside China. We expect that the evolving regulatory interpretation and enforcement of the national security legal regime will lead to increased operational and compliance costs and will require us to continually monitor and, where necessary, make changes to our operations, policies, and procedures. If our operations, or the operations of our CROs, licensees or partners, are found to be in violation of these requirements, we may suffer loss or use of data, suffer a delay in obtaining regulatory approval for our products, be unable to transfer data out of China, be unable to comply with our contractual requirements, suffer reputational harm or be subject to penalties, including administrative, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations. If any of these were to occur, it could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and our financial results.

In addition, in the United States, at both the federal and state levels, and in territories outside of China, including Taiwan and Hong Kong, we are subject to laws and regulations that address privacy, personal information protection and data security. Numerous laws and regulations, including security breach notification laws and consumer protection laws, govern the collection, use, disclosure and protection of personal information. Given the variability and evolving state of these laws, we face uncertainty as to the exact interpretation of the new requirements, and we may be unsuccessful in implementing all measures required by regulators or courts in their interpretation.

We expect that these data protection and transfer laws and regulations will receive greater attention and focus from regulators going forward, and we will continue to face uncertainty as to whether our efforts to comply with evolving obligations under data protection, privacy and security laws in China, the United States and other countries where we plan or conduct business will be sufficient.

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with applicable laws and regulations could result in reputational damage or proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities, individuals or others. These proceedings or actions could subject us to significant civil or criminal penalties and negative publicity, result in the delayed or halted transfer or confiscation of certain personal information, result in the suspension of ongoing clinical trials or ban on initiation of new trials, require us to change our business practices, increase our costs and materially harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our current and future relationships with customers, suppliers and other third parties could be negatively affected by any proceedings or actions against us or current or future data protection obligations imposed on them under applicable law, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation and Cyber Security Law. In addition, a data breach affecting personal information, or a failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in significant management resources, legal and financial exposure and reputational damage that could potentially have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We may be exposed to product returns and product liability claims and latent defect liability claims

Our products are used as key components in electric bicycles and sports bicycle parts, rackets, automobile parts and healthcare products of our customers who will, after assembling various parts of and packaging the products, provide such products to the end-users. We are exposed to potential product returns, product liability claims and latent defect liability claims from our customers and the end-users of goods and products. Although we have put in place stringent quality control measures, including the setting up of different teams for incoming quality control, quality control and quality assurance which monitor the quality of the raw material, semi-finished products as well as finished products, there may be undetected flaws or manufacturing defects or other irregularities that may be subsequently detected at any point in the life of our products. We have adopted return policy on products with manufacturing defects to accommodate our customers. If after any checkup or analysis by our laboratory the defect of a product is found to be manufacturing defect, return and replacement of products will be made. Therefore, if undetected flaws or manufacturing defects or other irregularities from either the design or manufacture of our products are to occur, additional costs and expenses which we may not recoup may incur and our revenue and costs control can be negatively impacted.

In addition, if our defective or sub-standard products cause bodily injuries or property damage, we as the manufacturer may face product liability claims or latent defect liability claims from our customers or the end-users of goods and products made with our products and regardless of the merits or the outcome of these claims, we may be required to address and, if necessary, defend ourselves against such claims, which may incur substantial legal costs and divert management attention and other resources from our business and operations. We may also face adverse publicity associated with such claims, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As we target to increase U.S. market exposure, if relations between the United States and PRC worsen, our business plan and operating results may be adversely impacted.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, our products were supplied to customers in Europe, Japan and U.S. and we target to increase our U.S. market exposure as we see growing demand in the U.S. markets. However, the U.S. government and Chinese government have in recent years made respective statements and taken respective actions that signal changes to its global trade policies and trade protection measures, including trade restriction or tariffs which affect certain products manufactured in the PRC and exported to the U.S. As our production is based in PRC, the export of our products may be affected by adverse changes and developments in such global trade policies and trade protection measures, such as the imposition of new trade barriers, sanctions, boycotts and other measures, which are beyond our control. It is unknown whether and to what extent new tariffs (or other new laws or regulations) will be adopted, or the effect that any such actions would have on us or our industry and users. Any trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. government or tariffs imposed by the PRC could significantly affect our gross profit margin if our products manufactured in PRC are subject to the trade restriction or tariffs or could disrupt our plan to increase U.S. market exposure, and in turn, have an adverse effect on our business plan, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary information, which could harm our business and competitive position.

The protection of our intellectual property rights, including trade secrets, trademarks, patents, domain names and other technical and proprietary know-how is critical to our success as we operate in an industry where technological innovation and technical capabilities and knowledge are the key to remain competitive. As of the date of this prospectus, we have obtained 31 registered patents related to our bicycle, racket and manufacturing process (with 7 invention patents, 14 utility model patents and 10 design patents) in Taiwan, PRC, Japan, Europe and the U.S. and 12 trademarks in PRC and Taiwan. We have also applied for the registration of 6 invention patents in Taiwan, PRC, Vietnam, Cambodia and Germany. See “Business – Intellectual Property.”

We rely on, and expect to continue to rely on a combination of intellectual property laws and contractual arrangements, including confidentiality agreements and non-complete covenants with our employees and independent parties which we have business relationships with, to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. We also have security system in place to ensure that access to the manufacturing process will not be misappropriated. For instance, we have 24 hours door security at the production plant and laboratory, and our computer server is safeguarded as external partners’ access is not permitted. However, there is no assurance that such efforts, policies and precautions are either sufficient or effective. As a result, our intellectual property rights may be infringed, misappropriated, or challenged. Legal proceedings involving intellectual property rights are generally costly and time consuming, and may divert management attention and other resources from our business and operations. Any failure in protecting or enforcing our intellectual property rights could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to third-party intellectual property infringement claims.

We depend, to a large extent, on our ability to effectively develop and maintain intellectual property rights relating to our business. However, we cannot assure you that third parties will not put forward claims that our business infringes upon or otherwise violates patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights which they hold, whether such claims are valid or otherwise. We may face allegations that we have infringed the trademarks, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights of third parties, including our competitors, or allegations that we are involved in unfair trade practice. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be subject to liability for our infringement activities or may be prohibited from using such intellectual property, and any such liability or prohibition may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our profitability, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by a downturn in the global economies.

Our products are supplied directly or indirectly to branded customers around the world, especially in Switzerland, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and Japan. Sales attributable to the markets in Europe are substantial, in particular the revenue from customers in Switzerland, Italy, Germany and France represented approximately 23.0%, 10.4%, 10.1% and 9.4%, respectively, of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the revenue from customers in Switzerland, Italy, Japan and Germany represented approximately 22.0%, 13.3%, 8.4% and 7.4%, respectively, of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We estimate our sales to markets in Europe will continue to be our major source of income in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our results of operation are largely affected by the level of demand for our products from our customers located in Europe which is in turn influenced by various factors which are beyond our control, including, among others, economic downturn. We cannot predict the timing, magnitude or duration of any economic downturn. These and other economic factors may have a negative impact on our profitability, financial condition and results of operations.

Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all the risks related to our business and operations.

We maintain commercial fire insurance for our headquarters, R&D center and warehouses in Taiwan and public general liability insurance in Taiwan, as well as property all risks insurance for the production plant, R&D center and warehouse in Dongguan, PRC. In addition, we purchase cargo transportation insurance to insure the risks and liabilities in relation to the shipping of our products and raw materials between our warehouse in Taiwan, production plant and warehouse in the PRC and delivery points designated by customers. We also maintain credit insurance in respect of debts arising in the course of business activity and from the trading of products and performance of services under TW YMA. We also maintain commercial general liability insurance with products liability coverage in respect of the bicycle parts products, senior walker products, motorcycle handler and pre-preg materials manufactured or distributed by us and exported or sold worldwide.

We had not made any material claims under our insurance policies. However, there is no assurance that injuries or casualties or similar or other accidents will not occur or that our insurance coverage would be adequate to cover all our potential losses associated with serious or major accidents. If we were subject to substantial liabilities that were not covered by our insurance, we may suffer loss that may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to various risks associated with our business and operations, and we have limited liability insurance coverage. A successful liability claim against us due to injuries or damages suffered by our users could materially and adversely affect our reputation, results of operations and financial conditions. Even if unsuccessful, such a claim could cause us adverse publicity, require substantial costs to defend, and divert the time and attention of our management. In addition, we do not have any business disruption insurance. Any business disruption event could result in substantial costs to us and a diversion of our resources.

Our operations have been and may continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the measures imposed to contain the pandemic disrupted our operation and business in early 2020. As the pandemic continues to rapidly evolve around the world, with several new COVID-19 variants discovered in recent months, we cannot anticipate with any certainty the length or severity of the effects of COVID-19. As of the date of this prospectus, our business has been adversely affected by COVID-19 pandemic primarily in the following aspects:

● Operation: Our production plant in Dongguan, the PRC, suspended work for approximately one month in 2020 which adversely affected our production schedules, despite that the operation of our headquarters and offices in Taiwan remained unaffected. The pandemic also casted minor negative impacts on our supply chain such as manufacturing, warehousing and shipping of our products.

● Operating results and other financial metrics: Negative impact of COVID-19 on our business has resulted in a decrease in our revenue. Our revenue decreased slightly by approximately 2.7% from $22.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 to $22.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2020.

Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and may intensify, economic distress in different countries, and the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19 outbreak is still uncertain at this time. If the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be contained and it subsequently results in greater global economic distress, there may be reduced consumer confidence and spending cut backs, which may result in reduced demand for our products and in which case our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.

The occurrence of force majeure events and natural disasters may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The occurrence of force majeure events and natural disasters, including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires and pandemics may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. For instance, in 2019, there was an outbreak of COVID-19 in PRC and there was emergency public health policies and measures such as suspension of work, travel restrictions and/or traffic control measures in various cities in PRC. For instance, our production plant suspended work for approximately one month in 2020 in light of such policies and measures. Additionally, some regions in PRC and Taiwan, including certain cities in which we have operations, are under the threat of flood, earthquake, fire and drought.

The potential impact of a force majeure event or natural disaster on our results of operations and financial position is speculative and would depend on numerous factors. The impact and severity of these natural disasters determines their effect on each given economy. Where there is an outbreak or a recurrence of such force majeure event or natural disaster which are beyond our control, this could result in disruption to our business or that of our customers, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any labor shortage or unrest or increased labor cost may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our production plant is located in the PRC. Some of our manufacturing processes, such as lamination and decals, are labor intensive and cannot be completely replaced by automation technology at this time. At the same time, there has been labor shortage from time to time in certain cities in the PRC. Although we did not experience material operational difficulty due to labor shortage in the past, there is no assurance that there will be no labor shortage for our production plant in the future. In addition, we may also be required to increase the wages to keep our labor force or attract new workers if there is labor shortage or other changes in the labor market conditions. If we cannot transfer the increased costs to our customers, our profit may be significantly impacted in such case. Also, although we have no experienced any labor unrest in the past, any future labor unrest will disrupt our production or pose threat to our properties. Therefore, any labor shortage or unrest or increased labor cost may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

Prior to this offering, we were a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting. However, in preparing our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the standards established by the PCAOB. The material weakness identified arose from our lack of effective financial reporting oversight process for our period-end financial reporting as well as our lack of policies and procedures over evaluation of significant complex transactions and evaluation of certain general ledger accounts. Following the identification of the material weakness, we have taken and plan to continue to take remedial measures to remedy the weakness. For details of these remedies, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and we cannot conclude that they have been fully remedied. Our failure to correct the material weakness or our failure to discover and address any other material weakness or control deficiencies could result in inaccuracies in our financial statements and could also impair our ability to comply with applicable financial reporting requirements and related regulatory filings on a timely basis. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our ordinary shares may be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, ineffective internal control over financial reporting significantly hinders our ability to prevent fraud.

Furthermore, it is possible that, had our independent registered public accounting firm conducted an audit of our internal control over financial reporting, such firm might have identified additional material weakness and deficiencies. Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company in the United States subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Section 404, will require that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 20-F beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to timely complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation.

During the course of documenting and testing our internal control procedures, in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404, we may identify other weaknesses and deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, if we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, as these standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404. If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets, harm our results of operations, and lead to a decline in the trading price of our ordinary shares. Additionally, ineffective internal control over financial reporting could expose us to increased risk of fraud or misuse of corporate assets and subject us to potential delisting from the stock exchange on which we list, regulatory investigations and civil or criminal sanctions. We may also be required to restate our financial statements from prior periods.

We adopt cost-plus pricing approach as our general pricing model and the results of our operations are dependent on the ability to remain cost competitive.

We adopt a cost-plus pricing approach for our general pricing model. The unit price of our products is determined by reference to various factors, including the technical complexity of the product, the volume of the order, estimated material cost, labor cost and production overhead. Our ability to continue to implement our pricing model and maintain our margins will depend on our ability to remain cost competitive, which means we will have to actively manage our cost of sales, and in particular, our cost of materials, labor costs and product development costs.

Historically, we have been able to pass any increases in material cost, labor cost onto our customers as we generally negotiate and agree on the estimated unit price of a product prior to confirming the purchase orders from customers. However, if there is sudden and significant increase in such costs after the purchase orders are confirmed, we will not be able to pass such increased costs onto our customers. In such event, if we are not able to lower other costs in amounts sufficient to compensate such increased costs, our margins would be negatively impacted which could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure

We are a holding company and our sole material asset after completion of this offering will be our equity interest in our subsidiaries. Accordingly, we will depend on distributions from our subsidiaries to pay dividends and cover our corporate and other expenses.

We are a holding company and will have no material assets other than our equity interest in our subsidiaries. Because we will have no independent means of generating revenue, our ability to pay dividends, if any, and cover our corporate and other expenses is dependent on the ability of our subsidiaries to generate revenue to pay such dividends and expenses and then distribute them up to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make any distributions will be subject, among others, to restrictions in our exiting or future credit facilities or other debt instruments and applicable law and regulations, which could impose withholding taxes on internal distributions. Our existing credit facilities, for example, significantly restrict our ability to pay dividends. To the extent that we need funds and our subsidiaries are restricted from making such distributions or payments under the terms of any financing arrangements or under applicable law or regulation, or otherwise are unable to provide such funds, our liquidity and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

The audit work on our PRC subsidiaries may not be inspected or investigated completely by the PCAOB and our ordinary shares may be prohibited from being traded on a national exchange under the HFCAA if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditor for three consecutive years beginning in 2021. The delisting of our ordinary shares, or the threat of being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.

Auditors of companies that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and traded publicly in the United States, including our independent registered public accounting firm, must be registered with the PCAOB, and are subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess their compliance with the relevant professional standards.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCAA. A company will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCAA, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act , which, if signed into law, would amend the HFCAA and require the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three consecutive years. On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCAA, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China, and (2) Hong Kong.

Our auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan, which is based in Taiwan, is currently subject to inspection by the PCAOB every three years. The audit work on our PRC subsidiaries is performed directly by our auditor under a temporary license issued by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC. However, our auditor is unable to provide audit working papers of the Company’s subsidiaries in China for PCAOB’s inspection without the approval of the PRC authorities.

The PCAOB’s inspections of other firms outside China have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The lack of PCAOB’s inspections in China prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating audits and quality control procedures of any auditors operating in China. Also, the potential inability of the PCAOB to inspect our auditor’s working paper of our PRC subsidiaries prevents the PCAOB from evaluating audits and quality control procedures of our independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, investors may be deprived of the benefits of PCAOB inspections. The inability of the PCAOB to inspect our auditor’s working paper makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to other auditors that are subject to PCAOB inspections. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements. Also, if the PCAOB is not able to conduct inspections of our auditor’s work papers of our PRC subsidiaries, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities may be prohibited and the Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate our auditor under the HFCAA.

The recent developments would also add uncertainties to our offering and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements.

The SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. For example, on August 6, 2020, the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, or the PWG, issued the Report on Protecting United States Investors from Significant Risks from Chinese Companies to the then President of the United States. This report recommended the SEC implement five recommendations to address companies from jurisdictions that do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to fulfill its statutory mandate. Some of the concepts of these recommendations were implemented with the enactment of the HFCAA. However, some of the recommendations were more stringent than the HFCAA. For example, if a company’s auditor was not subject to PCAOB inspection, the report recommended that the transition period before a company would be delisted would end on January 1, 2022.

The SEC has announced that the SEC staff is preparing a consolidated proposal for the rules regarding the implementation of the HFCAA and to address the recommendations in the PWG report. It is unclear when the SEC will complete its rulemaking and when such rules will become effective and what, if any, of the PWG recommendations will be adopted. The implications of this possible regulation in addition to the requirements of the HFCAA are uncertain. Such uncertainty could cause the market price of our ordinary shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted or prohibited from being traded on the national securities exchange earlier than would be required by the HFCAA. If our ordinary shares are unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our ordinary shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our ordinary shares.

In December 2020, the United States enacted the HFCAA. The HFCAA requires that the SEC identify issuers that retain an auditor that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB determines it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that foreign jurisdiction. Amongst other things, the HFCAA also requires the SEC to prohibit the securities of any issuer from being traded on any of the U.S. national securities exchanges, such as Nasdaq, or on the U.S. “over-the-counter” markets, if the auditor of the issuer’s financial statements is not subject to PCAOB inspections for three consecutive “non-inspection” years after the law became effective. On April 5, 2021, the SEC’s interim final rule to implement the disclosure and submission requirements of the HFCAA was published in the U.S. Federal Register, along with the SEC’s request for public comment on the interim final rule. Regarding how the term “retain” should be interpreted for purposes of determining whether an issuer has retained an auditor that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB determines it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that foreign jurisdiction, the SEC noted in the interim final rule that the HFCAA does not define the term “retain,” and requested comment on how the term “retain” should be understood for purposes of the HFCAA. Enactment of any of such legislations or other efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including us, the market price of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected, and we could be delisted if we are unable to cure the situation to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement in time. Furthermore, there have been recent media reports on deliberations within the U.S. government regarding potentially limiting or restricting China-based companies from accessing U.S. capital markets. If any such deliberations were to materialize, the resulting legislation may have material and adverse impact on the stock performance of China-based issuers listed in the United States.

Our auditor, which is based in Taiwan, conducts audit work directly on our PRC subsidiaries under a temporary license issued by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC. However, given the restriction imposed by the PRC government, our auditor is unable to provide audit working papers of our subsidiaries in China for PCAOB’s inspection without the approval of the PRC authorities. Given the current question as to how “retain” should be understood for purposes of the HFCAA, we cannot assure you that we will not be identified by the SEC as an issuer that has retained an auditor that has a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction that the PCAOB determines it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that foreign jurisdiction as a result of the fact that the auditor of our PRC subsidiaries is located in, and organized under the laws of, the PRC. In addition, there can be no assurance that, if we have a “non-inspection” year, we will be able to take remedial measures in response thereto. If any such event were to occur, trading in our securities could in the future be prohibited under the HFCAA, so we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain the listing of the ordinary shares on Nasdaq or that you will be allowed to trade our ordinary shares in the United States on the “over-the-counter” markets or otherwise. Should the ordinary shares not be listed or tradeable in the United States, the value of the ordinary shares could be materially affected.

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

We are a holding company, and we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders or holders of our ordinary shares or to service any debt we may incur. If any of our PRC subsidiaries incur debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

According to the Foreign Investment Law of the People’s Republic of China and its implementing rules, which jointly established the legal framework for the administration of foreign-invested companies, a foreign investor may, in accordance with other applicable laws, freely transfer into or out of China its contributions, profits, capital earnings, income from asset disposal, intellectual property rights royalties acquired, compensation or indemnity legally obtained, and income from liquidation, made or derived within the territory of China in RMB or any foreign currency, and any entity or individual shall not illegally restrict such transfer in terms of the currency, amount and frequency. According to the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China and other Chinese laws and regulations, our PRC subsidiaries may pay dividends only out of their respective accumulated profits as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our PRC subsidiaries is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, each year to fund a certain statutory reserve fund, until the aggregate amount of such fund reaches 50% of its registered capital. Where the statutory reserve fund is insufficient to cover any loss the Chinese subsidiary incurred in the previous financial year, its current financial year’s accumulated after-tax profits shall first be used to cover the loss before any statutory reserve fund is drawn therefrom. Such statutory reserve funds and the accumulated after-tax profits that are used for covering the loss cannot be distributed to us as dividends. At their discretion, our PRC subsidiaries may allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on Chinese accounting standards to a discretionary reserve fund.

Renminbi is not freely convertible into other currencies. As result, any restriction on currency exchange may limit the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to use any future renminbi revenues to pay dividends to us. The Chinese government imposes controls on the convertibility of renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Shortages in availability of foreign currency may then restrict the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to our offshore entities for our offshore entities to pay dividends or make other payments or otherwise to satisfy our foreign-currency-denominated obligations. The renminbi is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, without the need of the approval of the SAFE. By contrast, the renminbi under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and foreign currency debt, including loans we may secure for our onshore subsidiaries, may be converted into other currencies upon the approval of the SAFE and the conversion is also subject to other restrictions or limitations, e.g., control of a Chinese entity’s foreign debt quota. Currently, our PRC subsidiaries may purchase foreign currency for settlement of “current account transactions,” including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant Chinese governmental authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. Any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in renminbi to fund our business activities outside of China or pay dividends in foreign currencies to holders of our ordinary shares. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant Chinese governmental authorities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our subsidiaries.

In response to the persistent capital outflow in China and renminbi’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar in the fourth quarter of 2016, the People’s Bank of China (“PBOC”) and the SAFE have promulgated a series of capital controls in early 2017, including stricter vetting procedures for domestic companies to remit foreign currency for overseas investments, dividends payments and shareholder loan repayments.

The Chinese government may continue to strengthen its capital controls, and more restrictions and substantial vetting processes may be put forward by SAFE for cross-border transactions falling under both the current account and the capital account. Any limitation on the ability of our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other kinds of payments to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our business, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Taiwan

We face economic and political risks associated with doing business in Taiwan, particularly due to the geopolitical tension between Taiwan and PRC that could negatively affect our business and hence the value of your investment.

Our headquarters, R&D center and material laboratory are located in Taiwan. Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operations and the market price of our ordinary shares may be affected by changes in governmental policies, taxation, growth rate, inflation rate or interest rates and by social instability and diplomatic and social developments in or affecting Taiwan. In particular, the unique political status of Taiwan and its internal political movement cause sustained tension between PRC and Taiwan. Past developments related to the interactions between PRC and Taiwan, especially in relation to trade activities such as bans on exports of goods from time to time, have on occasions depressed the transactions and business operations of certain Taiwanese companies and overall economic environment. We cannot predict whether there will be escalation of the tensions between PRC and Taiwan which would lead to new bans or tariffs on exports or even conflict. Any conflict which threatens the military, political or economic stability in Taiwan could have a material adverse effect on our current or future business and financial condition and results of operations.

The imposition of foreign exchange restrictions in Taiwan may have an adverse effect on foreign investors’ abilities to acquire securities of a Taiwan company, including the shares of our subsidiaries in Taiwan, or to repatriate the interest, dividends or sale proceeds from those securities.

Taiwan government may impose foreign exchange restrictions in certain emergency situations, including situations where there are sudden fluctuations in interest rates or exchange rates, where Taiwan government experiences extreme difficulty in stabilizing the balance of payments or where there are substantial disturbances in the financial and capital markets in Taiwan. These restrictions may require foreign investors to obtain Taiwan government’s approval before acquiring securities of a Taiwan company, including the shares of our subsidiaries in Taiwan, repatriating the interest or dividends from those securities or repatriating the proceeds from the sale of those securities.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Ordinary Shares

The recent joint statement by the SEC and PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the HFCAA all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. In September 2021, the PCAOB is adopting a new rule to provide a framework for its determinations under the HFCAA that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. In addition, in June 2021, the Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act which, if signed into law, would reduce the time period for the delisting of foreign companies under the HFCAA to two consecutive years, instead of three years. As a result, if the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act is enacted into law and the PCAOB determined that it is unable to inspect or investigate our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction for two consecutive years, our securities could be prohibited from trading.

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

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

On May 20, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed the HFCAA requiring a foreign company to certify it is not owned or controlled by a foreign government if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the company uses a foreign auditor not subject to PCAOB inspection. If the PCAOB is unable to inspect an issuer’s auditors for three consecutive years, the issuer’s securities are prohibited to trade on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S. On December 2, 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the HFCAA. On December 18, 2020, the HFCAA was signed into law.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC announced that it had adopted interim final amendments to implement congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the Act. The interim final amendments will apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report on Forms 10-K, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction. The SEC will implement a process for identifying such a registrant and any such identified registrant will be required to submit documentation to the SEC establishing that it is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in that foreign jurisdiction, and will also require disclosure in the registrant’s annual report regarding the audit arrangements of, and governmental influence on, such a registrant.

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed a bill which, if passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law, would reduce the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two years.

Since September 22, 2021, the PCAOB is adopting a new rule, PCAOB Rule 6100, Board Determinations Under the HFCAA to provide a framework for its determinations under the HFCAA that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. The rule establishes the manner of the PCAOB’s determinations; the factors the PCAOB will evaluate and the documents and information the PCAOB will consider when assessing whether a determination is warranted; the form, public availability, effective date, and duration of such determinations; and the process by which the Board will reaffirm, modify, or vacate any such determinations.

In December 2021, the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA. Also, on December 16, 2021, pursuant to the HFCAA, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of PRC, because of positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions. In addition, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations.

Our auditor, which is based in Taiwan, is currently subject to inspection by the PCAOB every three years. The audit work on our PRC subsidiaries is performed directly by our auditor under a temporary license issued by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC. However, our auditor is unable to provide audit working papers of the Company’s subsidiaries in China for PCAOB’s inspection without the approval of the PRC authorities. If it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction (e.g. the PRC authorities), it would make it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to other auditors that are subject to PCAOB inspections. Investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and procedures and the quality of our financial statements. As a result, the market price of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected. Also, if the PCAOB is not able to conduct inspections of our auditor’s work papers of our PRC subsidiaries, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets and trading of our securities may be prohibited and the Nasdaq may determine to delist our securities if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor under the HFCAA.

However, the recent developments would add uncertainties to our offering and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us. It remains unclear what the SEC’s implementation process related to the March 2021 interim final amendments will entail or what further actions the SEC or Nasdaq will take to address these issues and what impact those actions will have on U.S. companies that have significant operations in the PRC and have securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange (including a national securities exchange or over-the-counter stock market). In addition, the March 2021 interim final amendments and any additional actions, proceedings, or new rules resulting from these efforts to increase U.S. regulatory access to audit information could create some uncertainty for investors, the market price of our ordinary shares could be adversely affected, and we could be delisted if we and our auditor are unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement or being required to engage a new audit firm, which would require significant expense and management time.

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

Prior to this initial public offering, there has been no public market for our ordinary shares. We have applied to list our ordinary shares on Nasdaq under the symbol “YMAT.” If an active trading market for our ordinary shares does not develop after this offering, the market price and liquidity of our ordinary shares will be materially and adversely affected. Negotiations with the underwriters determine the initial public offering price for our ordinary shares which may bear no relationship to their market price after the initial public offering. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for our ordinary shares will develop or that the market price of our ordinary shares will not decline below the initial public offering price.

Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We cannot assure you that our securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq after our initial public offering. In order to continue listing our securities on Nasdaq, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and share price levels. In general, we must maintain a minimum amount in shareholders’ equity (generally $2,500,000) and a minimum of 300 round lot holders. For instance, our share price would generally be required to be at least $4.00 per share, our shareholders’ equity would generally be required to be at least $5.0 million and we would be required to have a minimum of 300 round lot holders of our securities (with at least 50% of such round lot holders holding securities with a market value of at least $2,500). We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet those initial listing requirements at that time.

If Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts 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 Nasdaq, our ordinary shares will be covered securities. Although the states are preempted 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. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, other than the State of Idaho, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

If a limited number of participants in this offering purchase a significant percentage of the offering, the effective public float may be smaller than anticipated and the price of our ordinary shares may be volatile.

As a company conducting a relatively modest public offering, we are subject to the risk that a small number of investors will purchase a high percentage of the offering. If this were to happen, investors could find our ordinary shares to be more volatile than they might otherwise anticipate. Companies that experience such volatility in their stock price may be more likely to be the subject of securities litigation. In addition, if a large portion of our public float were to be held by a few investors, smaller investors may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

The market price for our ordinary shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

The trading prices of our ordinary shares are likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation in the market prices or the underperformance or deteriorating financial results of companies based in Taiwan that have listed their securities in the United States in recent years. The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant volatility since their initial public offerings, including, in some cases, substantial decline in their trading prices. The trading performances of other Taiwan companies’ securities after their offerings may affect the attitudes of investors toward Taiwan companies listed in the United States, which consequently may impact the trading performance of our ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, securities markets may from time to time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to our operating performance, which may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our ordinary shares. In addition to the above factors, the price and trading volume of our ordinary shares may be highly volatile due to multiple factors, including the following:

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares, as the future sale of a substantial amount of outstanding ordinary shares in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our ordinary shares.

The market price of our ordinary shares could decline as a result of sales of substantial amounts of our ordinary shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur. In addition, these factors could make it more difficult for us to raise through future offerings of our ordinary shares. An aggregate of 15,762,887 ordinary shares were outstanding before the consummation of this offering and [*] ordinary shares will be outstanding immediately after this offering. All of the shares sold in the offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act. The remaining shares will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144. These shares may be sold in the future without registration under the Securities Act to the extent permitted by Rule 144 or other exemptions under the Securities Act.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

The initial public offering price of our ordinary shares is expected to be substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our ordinary shares. Assuming the completion of the offering, if you purchase shares in this offering, you will incur immediate dilution of approximately $[*] or approximately [*]% in the pro forma net tangible book value per share from the price per share that you pay for the shares. Accordingly, if you purchase shares in this offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution of your investment. See “Dilution.”

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

As a Cayman Islands company that is expected to be listed on Nasdaq, we are subject to Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. However, Nasdaq rules permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. For example, neither the Companies Act nor our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association requires a majority of our board of directors to be independent and we could include non-independent directors as members of our compensation committee and nominating committee and our independent directors would not necessarily hold regular scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. In addition, we will be able to follow our home country law instead of the Nasdaq listing rules that require us to obtain shareholder approval for certain dilutive events, such as certain transactions other than a public offering involving issuances of a 20% or greater interest in the company, and acquisitions of the stock or assets of another company. If we choose to follow home country practice in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under Nasdaq’s corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

Our management has a certain level of discretion over use of proceeds of this offering.

While we have identified the priorities to which we expect to put the proceeds of this offering, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds received by us. Specifically, we intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to upgrade manufacturing facility and equipment and for working capital and general corporate purposes. We have reserved the right to re-allocate funds currently allocated to that purpose to our general working capital. If that were to happen, then our management would have significant discretion over even more of the net proceeds to be received by our company in this offering. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. You must rely on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our efforts to achieve profitability or increase our stock price. The net proceeds from this offering may be placed in investments that do not produce profit or increase value. See “Use of Proceeds.”

We are an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and, because judicial precedent regarding the rights of shareholders is more limited under Cayman Islands law than under U.S. law, you may have less protection for your shareholder rights than you would under U.S. law.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association as amended from time to time, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as that from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law may not be as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent 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 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 or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies (other than copies of our Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended, and register of mortgages and charges). Under Cayman Islands law, the names of our current directors can be obtained from a search conducted at the Registrar of Companies. Our directors have discretion under our memorandum and articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ from the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to United States domestic issuers.

As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may encounter different issues in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as shareholders of a U.S. public company.

We are a foreign private issuer and, as a result, will not be subject to U.S. proxy rules and will be subject to more lenient and less frequent Exchange Act reporting obligations than a U.S. issuer.

Upon consummation of this offering, we will report under the Securities Exchange Act as a foreign private issuer. Because we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. public companies, including:

In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are not large accelerated filers or accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from Regulation FD, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. As a result, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are not foreign private issuers.

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

Upon completion of this offering, we will become a public company and expect to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies. As a company with less than US$1.07 billion in revenues for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting and permission to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly. After we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC. For example, as a result of becoming a public company, we will need to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. We also expect that operating as a public company will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

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

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

As discussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to us on [*]. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if (1) more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (2) a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of the Nasdaq. 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.

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

A non-United States corporation, such as our company, will be classified as a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, if either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of certain types of “passive” income or (ii) 50% or more of the value of its assets (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.

Based on our current composition of assets, subsidiaries and market capitalization (which will fluctuate from time to time), we do not expect to be or become a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, the determination of whether we will be or become a PFIC will depend, in part, upon the value of our goodwill and other unbooked intangibles. Furthermore, the determination of whether we will be or become a PFIC will depend, in part, on the composition of our income and assets. Fluctuations in the market price of our ordinary shares may cause us to become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. 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. In addition, because there are uncertainties in the application of the relevant rules, it is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may challenge our classification of certain income and assets as non-passive or our valuation of our tangible and intangible assets.

Because determination of PFIC status is a fact-intensive inquiry made on an annual basis that depends upon the composition of our assets and income, no assurance can be given that we are not or will not become classified as a PFIC. If we were to be or become classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, a U.S. Holder (as defined in “Taxation—United States Federal Income Taxation”) may incur significantly increased U.S. federal income tax on gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of our ordinary shares and on the receipt of distributions on the ordinary shares to the extent such gain or distributions is treated as an “excess distribution” under the U.S. federal income tax rules. Further, if we are classified as a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares, we generally will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which such U.S. Holder holds our ordinary shares. You are urged to consult your tax advisor concerning the United States federal income tax consequences of acquiring, holding, and disposing of ordinary shares if we are or become classified as a PFIC.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our ordinary shares and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our ordinary shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our ordinary shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our ordinary shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our ordinary shares to decline.

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 with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and certain of our officers and directors are residents of jurisdictions outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors or executive officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against our directors or officers.

Our corporate affairs will be governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as amended from time to time, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take legal action against our directors and us, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as that from English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law may not be as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and some 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 standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

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

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

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

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our board of directors, management or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company. For a discussion of certain differences between the provisions of the Companies Act, remedies available to shareholders and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” and “Description of Securities.”

Judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.

We are a Cayman Islands company and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Substantially all of our current operations are conducted in Taiwan and/or PRC. In addition, certain of our directors and officers reside outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside Taiwan and/or PRC upon these persons. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in Taiwan and/or PRC or Cayman Islands courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors, most of whom are not residents in the United States and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the United States. It may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us in the Cayman Islands if you believe your rights under the U.S. securities laws have been infringed. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or Taiwan and/or PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state and it is uncertain whether such Cayman Islands or Taiwan and/or PRC courts would hear original actions brought in the Cayman Islands or Taiwan and/or PRC against us or such persons predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state. See “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities.”

Provisions in our post-offering amended and stated memorandum and articles of association may inhibit a takeover of us, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for our ordinary shares and could entrench management.

Our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions include a staggered board of directors and the ability of the board of directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred shares, which may make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares.

We are subject to changing law and regulations regarding regulatory matters, corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of non-compliance.

We are subject to rules and regulations by various governing bodies, including, for example, the SEC, which are charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded, and to new and evolving regulatory measures under applicable law. Our efforts to comply with new and changing laws and regulations have resulted in and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

Moreover, because these laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance becomes available. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices. If we fail to address and comply with these regulations and any subsequent changes, we may be subject to penalty and our business may be harmed.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

You can identify these forward-looking statements by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “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, but are not limited to, statements about:

You should read thoroughly 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. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should read this prospectus and the documents that we refer to in this prospectus and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

USE OF PROCEEDS

After deducting the estimated underwriters’ discount and offering expenses payable by us, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $[●] million (or $          in the aggregate if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full) from this offering. The net proceeds from this offering must be remitted to Taiwan before we will be able to use the funds to grow our business.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows, after we complete the remittance process:

We carefully plan for the use of proceeds from this offering, not only to support our existing growth, but also build a road map for our future development. Regarding the acquisition and investment in production plant in the U.S., we will co-operate with the local bicycle assembly house in the U.S. and the investment amount will be capped at approximately 25% of the proceeds in respect of the infrastructure construction and machinery procurement. Regarding the construction of our second production plant in Yangzhou, approximately 25% of the proceeds is intended to be used for purchasing equipment for production only. Meanwhile, we are in discussion with a local construction company in the PRC on a hire purchase agreement of building and infrastructure construction of the production plant on our land in Yangzhou and such construction would be funded by the said local construction company in the PRC. As we intended to invest approximately USD6.2 million on the purchase of machinery and the proceeds would not be sufficient for us to accomplish such purpose, we would require additional funding by building lines of credit with financial institutions in the U.S. Concerning the investment on electric bicycle and sports bicycle brands in Michigan State, the U.S., our investment amount will be capped at approximately 15% of the proceeds in order to allow us to build our U.S. local talent force with handful of staffs to undertake the business development task. With regards to the R&D center in Houston, the U.S., we estimate that approximately 15% of the proceeds shall be sufficient for us to establish our R&D center in the U.S. as the major role of the R&D center in the U.S. is to guide our R&D center in Taiwan with their more innovated technology. For setting up our sales and administration office in Houston, the U.S., we consider that approximately 5% of the proceeds shall be sufficient for us to rent an office in Houston and hire staff for operation. We intend that our office in the U.S. will be a hub in coordinating all our business activities in the U.S. Based on the abovementioned, we believe that the proceeds from this offering shall be sufficient to accomplish each purpose. If in any circumstances we require additional funding, we will build lines of credit with financial institutions in the U.S.

The precise amounts and percentage of proceeds we devote to particular categories of activity, and their priority of use, will depend on prevailing market and business conditions as well as on the nature of particular opportunities that may arise from time to time. Accordingly, we reserve the right to change the use of proceeds that we presently anticipate and describe herein.

The foregoing is set forth based on the order of priority of each purpose and represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. Our management, however, will have significant flexibility and discretion to apply the net proceeds of this offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this prospectus.

CAPITALIZATION

The following tables set forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of June 30, 2021:

You should read the tables together with our consolidated 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.”

DILUTION

If you invest in our ordinary shares, you will incur immediate dilution since the public offering price per share you will pay in this offering is more than the net tangible book value per ordinary share immediately after this offering.

The net tangible book value of our ordinary shares as of [●] was $[●], or $[●] per share based upon [●] ordinary shares outstanding. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the total number of ordinary shares outstanding. Tangible assets equal our total assets less deferred tax assets and deferred offering cost.

The dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors, represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. After giving effect to the sale of the [______] shares being sold pursuant to this offering price of $[______] per share and after deducting underwriters’ discount and commission payable by us in the amount of $[______], non-accountable expenses of $[______] payable to the underwriters and estimated offering expenses in the amount of $[______], our pro forma net tangible book value would be approximately $[______], or $[______] per share of ordinary shares. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $[______] per share to existing shareholders and an immediate decrease in net tangible book value of $[______] per share to new investors purchasing the shares in this offering.

The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

Our adjusted pro forma net tangible book value after the offering, and the decrease to new investors in the offering, will change from the amounts shown above if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised.

A $[______] increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price would increase (decrease) our pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering by approximately $[______], and increase the dilution per share to new investors by approximately $[______], after deducting the underwriters’ discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The following table sets forth, on a pro forma as adjusted basis as of [●], the difference between the number of ordinary shares purchased from us, the total cash consideration paid, and the average price per share paid by our existing shareholders and by new public investors before deducting estimated underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, using an assumed public offering price of $[______] per ordinary share:

The pro forma as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only. Our net tangible book value following the completion of this offering is subject to adjustment based on the actual initial public offering price of our ordinary shares and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability in order to enjoy the following benefits:

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

Currently, substantially all of our operations are conducted outside the United States, and substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. All of our officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

We have appointed Puglisi & Associates, located at 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204, Newark, DE19711, as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.

Ogier, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, Lee and Li, Attorneys-at-Law, our counsel as to Taiwan law, and L&L-Leaven, Attorneys-at-Law, our counsel as to PRC law, have advised us, respectively, that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands, Taiwan and China, respectively, would:

Ogier has informed us that it is uncertain whether the courts of the Cayman Islands will allow shareholders of our company to originate actions in the Cayman Islands based upon securities laws of the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law related to whether a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize or enforce the judgment against a Cayman Islands company, such as our company. As the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on making such a determination in relation to judgments obtained from U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws, it is uncertain whether such judgments would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. Ogier has further advised us that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign judgement, without any re-examination or re-litigation of matters adjudicated upon, provided such judgment:

Our Taiwan counsel, Lee and Li, Attorneys-at-Law, has advised us that any United States judgments obtained against us will be enforced by courts in Taiwan without further review of the merits only if the court of Taiwan in which enforcement is sought is satisfied with the following:

Our PRC counsel, L&L-Leaven, Attorneys-at-Law, has advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are subject to compliance with the PRC Civil Procedures Law and relevant civil procedure requirements in the PRC. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands.

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

Through the disposal of Dongguan Yuantai, the Group disposed of the ownership of two parcels of land in Dongguan, the PRC (“Dongguan Land”) held by Dongguan Yuantai, including the constructions and equipment implanted thereon, without disposing the assets and liabilities, production plant and products held under Dongguan Yuantai.

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

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements or the risk factors. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

Our vision is to offer cutting edge technology and manufacturing expertise in carbon composite to our customers. We have preliminarily engaged in the research and development as well as manufacturing of carbon fiber for a wide variety products including carbon bicycles, carbon rackets, automotive parts, outdoor sports gears and healthcare products.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, our operating revenue were approximately $22.8 million and $22.2 million, respectively, and our profit after income tax from continuing operations were approximately $11.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, our operating revenue were approximately $9.6 million and $12.2 million, respectively, and our loss after income tax from continuing operations was approximately $747,509 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and our profit after income tax from continuing operations was approximately $967,537 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We primarily generates revenue through three divisions and revenue streams, namely (i) sales of bicycle parts for sports bicycle and electric bicycle, (ii) sales of rackets, and (iii) sales of other products.

Key Factors that Affect Operating Results

We believe the following key factors may affect our financial condition and results of operations:

COVID-19

The outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) began in December 2019 and was declared as a pandemic on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization. Subsequent to the outbreak, COVID-19 has spread rapidly to many parts of China and other parts of the world. The pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of stores and facilities in China and elsewhere.

As our production plant is located in China, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business operations and financial condition, operating results and cash flow for fiscal year 2020, including but not limited to adverse impacts to our production pipeline and total revenue. Our operating revenue decreased by approximately 2.7% for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. Our operating revenue increased by approximately 27% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, there is an increase in inventories of $8,424,368 due to shortage of containers for international shipment to ship our products to the customers, which has in turn casted impact on our operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our primary focuses are on our cash flow management and timely collection of accounts receivables.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth a summary of our consolidated statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. This information should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The results of operations in any period are not necessarily indicative of our future trends.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2021

Segment Information

For six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, we primarily generates revenue through three divisions and revenue streams, namely (i) sales of bicycle parts for sports bicycle and electric bicycle, (ii) sales of rackets, and (iii) sales of other products.

The following tables present the summary of each reportable segment’s revenue and income, which are considered as segment operating measures, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021:

Years Ended December 31, 2019 and 2020
