    We are subject to market and financial risks arising from our underwriting business if the securities underwritten by us are undersubscribed.

    Our underwriting service was conducted by Bluemount Securities, one of our Operating Subsidiaries. The placing and underwriting commission recorded for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 were S$0.5 million, nil and nil, respectively. Our underwriting services are conducted on a fully underwritten basis, whereby Bluemount Securities were obliged to take up the undersubscribed securities up to the maximum of our underwriting commitment. We were also involved in a number of placing exercises as placing agents or sub-placing agents. Depending on the terms of the placing agreements, the placing exercises were either on a fully underwritten basis or on a best-effort basis. If the securities underwritten by Bluemount Securities are undersubscribed and we fail to procure subscribers to take up all of the undersubscribed securities, Bluemount Securities is required to purchase all of the undersubscribed portion for its own account, which would materially and adversely affect our liquidity. If Bluemount Securities fails to sell the securities it have underwritten, our Group would incur expenditure, expose ourselves to market risk and capital available to us would be reduced, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions. Our financial position would also be adversely affected if the underwritten securities so taken up by Bluemount Securities becomes illiquid and/or their market value drops. Under the Securities and Futures (Financial Resources) Rules (the "FRR"), the value of the open position of any underwriting commitment or the market value of the securities purchased by us to fulfil the underwriting obligations would have an impact on our liquid capital. If the liquid capital of our Operating Subsidiaries falls below the minimum requirement under the FRR, our Operating Subsidiaries will be in breach of the FRR resulting in the HKSFC suspending our license or imposing conditions in relation to our regulated activities. In the case of placing of securities on a best-effort basis, if the securities are undersubscribed or if market conditions become volatile, the placing may not be completed in full or may be canceled. The commission from such placing engagements may reduce or in the worst case we may have no commission at all. Moreover, the placing and underwriting commission generated by Bluemount Securities is directly related to the number of placing and underwriting exercises secured and completed by us and their fund-raising sizes. The placing and underwriting business is subject to various external factors which are beyond our control, including the number and the size of IPOs in the market, and the activeness of the secondary market for fund-raising exercises under the prevailing financial market environment. There is no assurance that the performance of our placing and underwriting business will not be affected by such external factors.

    Our commission income from our securities dealing and brokerage service may be volatile, and fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, which may result in volatility of the price of our Class B Ordinary Shares.

    For the years ended March 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, commission and brokerage income from our securities brokerage services amounted to 0.08%, 0.17% and 0.48%, respectively, of our total revenue for the corresponding periods. Our brokerage commission and income mainly depend upon the trading volume through our trading system and platform. Similar to other broking and financial services firms, trading volume by investors in the stock markets as a whole may continue to be affected by factors such as changes in investors' sentiment, perception, and confidence in the financial markets, inflation expectation, market conditions, political conditions, natural disasters, riots and acts of war or terrorism. Our profit may be materially and adversely affected if any of our clients cease to use, or if any of them significantly reduces their use of our services.

    It may be difficult for overseas shareholders and/or regulators to conduct investigation in mainland China.

    Shareholder claims or regulatory investigations that are common in the U.S. are typically difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in mainland China. There are significant legal obstacles to providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside mainland China. Chinese authorities may establish a regulatory cooperation agreement with the securities regulatory authorities of another jurisdiction to implement cross-border supervision and administration which may be difficult to achieve in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation.

    We may be required to obtain approval from PRC authorities to list on overseas stock exchanges in the future.

    The Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Companies by Foreign Investors, or the M&A Rules, adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies in 2006 and amended in 2009, require CSRC approval for a listing involving offshore special purchase vehicles holding Chinese assets. We may be required to obtain approval from PRC authorities in order to continue our listing in Nasdaq or add new listings on other overseas stock exchanges in the future but cannot provide assurance that we will be able to obtain such approval. Based on our understanding of the current PRC laws and regulations, we will not be required to submit an application to the CSRC for the approval of the offering and trading of our Class B Ordinary Shares because (i) our Group does not have any operations in mainland China, and (ii) the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether an offering like ours under this document is subject to this regulation. However, uncertainties still exist as to how the M&A Rules will be interpreted or implemented, and our understanding is subject to any new laws, rules, and regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations in any form relating to the M&A Rules. If CSRC approval is required, it is uncertain whether we can or how long it will take us to obtain the approval and, even if we obtain such CSRC approval, such CSRC approval could be rescinded. We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government authorities, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as our PRC counsel.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
