Fitness Champs Holdings Limited (FCHL) Risk Analysis

The trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares has been subject to rapid and substantial volatility, which could make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares and result in substantial losses to investors. There have been instances of extreme share price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong share price volatility with recent initial public offerings, especially among those with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float, we have experienced greater share price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our Class A Ordinary Shares have been, and may continue to be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock-run up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Class A Ordinary Shares. The trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may continue to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control and for reasons that are unrelated to our actual or expected performance. In addition, if the trading volumes of our Class A Ordinary Shares are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our Class A Ordinary Shares. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to fluctuate greatly. Holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our Class A Ordinary Shares may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following: - fluctuations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow;   - changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;   - additions or departures of key personnel;   - release of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our issued and outstanding equity securities or sales of additional equity securities; and   - Actual or potential additional litigation or regulatory investigations. Shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. We have been named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit that could divert a significant amount of our management's attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. See "Legal Proceedings" for description of the class action lawsuit. 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.

The trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts downgrade our Class A Ordinary Shares, the market price for our Class A Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline.

Short selling is the practice of selling shares that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention of buying identical shares back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the shares between the sale of the borrowed shares and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is in the short seller's interest for the price of the shares to decline, many short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions and allegations regarding the relevant issuer and its business prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling the shares short. These short attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market. If we were to become the subject of any unfavorable publicity, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we could have to expend a significant amount of resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend ourselves. While we would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks, we may be constrained in the manner in which we can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable state law or issues of commercial confidentiality.

We are and, will continue to be a "controlled company" as defined under the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange Rules, because one of our shareholders, Big Treasure, holds more than 50% of our voting power. As a result, for so long as we remain a controlled company as defined under that rule, we are permitted to elect to rely, and in the future may rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange Rules including: - an exemption from the rule that a majority of our Board must be independent directors;         - an exemption from the rule that the compensation of our chief executive officer must be determined or recommended solely by independent directors; and         - an exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors. The exemption we intend to rely on is that our director nominees need not be selected or recommended solely by independent directors. As a result, you may not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

We are currently controlled, will continue to be controlled, indirectly by Ms. Lee. Ms. Lee, through Big Treasure, currently controls 51.22% of the voting power of our Ordinary Shares. We expect that she will continue to retain voting control as she holds shares of Class B Ordinary Shares given the super voting powers of our Class B Ordinary Shares. As long as Ms. Lee directly or indirectly owns or controls at least a majority of our outstanding voting power, she will have the ability to exercise substantial control over all corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, irrespective of how our other shareholders may vote, including the election and removal of Directors and the size of our Board of Directors, any amendment of our charter documents, or the approval of any merger or other significant corporate transaction, including a sale of substantially all of our assets. Even if Ms. Lee's indirect ownership falls below 50%, she will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions. Additionally, Ms. Lee's interests, or the interests of our Executive Officers and Directors as a whole, may not align with the interests of our other shareholders.

As a foreign private issuer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are permitted to rely on a provision in the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange corporate governance listing standards that allows us to follow Cayman Islands law with regard to certain aspects of corporate governance. This would allow us to follow certain corporate governance practices that differ in significant respects from the corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange. For example, we are exempt from Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange regulations that require a listed U.S. company to: - require non-management directors to meet on a regular basis without management present; and         - seek shareholder approval for the implementation of certain equity compensation plans and dilutive issuances of Ordinary Shares, such as transactions, other than a public offering, involving the sale of 20% or more of our Ordinary Shares for less than the greater of book or market value of the Shares. Although we are permitted to follow certain corporate governance rules that conform to Cayman Islands requirements in lieu of many of the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange corporate governance rules, we intend to comply with the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange corporate governance rules applicable to private issuers.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. We will also be subject to the U.S. securities laws. The rights of shareholders to take action against our Directors and us, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our Directors to us under Cayman Islands law are governed by our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and 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 compared to the U.S. law) as well as from English common law. The decisions of the English courts are of highly persuasive authority but are not binding on Cayman Islands courts (except for those decisions handed down from the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council to the extent that these have been appealed from the Cayman Islands courts). The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our Directors under Cayman Islands law are broadly similar to those in other common law jurisdictions, but there may be differences in the statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands have a different body of securities laws than the United States and provide significantly less protection to investors. In addition, if shareholders want to proceed against the Company outside of the Cayman Islands, they will need to demonstrate that they have the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the register of mortgages and charges and any special resolutions passed by shareholders) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Our Directors are not required under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to make our corporate records available for inspection by our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder resolution or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as U.S. states. Currently, we do not plan to rely on home country practice with respect to corporate governance matters. In the event we choose to do so in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of the Board or controlling shareholders than they would as shareholders of a company incorporated in a U.S. state. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in a U.S. state and their shareholders, see "Certain Cayman Islands Company Considerations - Differences in Corporate Law."

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, all of our current Directors and Executive Officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States and substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. Service of court documents on a Cayman Islands company can be effected by serving the documents at the company's registered office and it may be is possible to enforce foreign judgments in the Cayman Islands against a Cayman Islands company, subject to some exceptions. However, if investors wish to serve documents on and/or enforce foreign judgments against our Directors and Executive Officers, they will need to ensure that they comply with the rules of the jurisdiction where our Directors and Executive Officers are located. 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. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and Singapore may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our Directors and Executive Officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the Cayman Islands, see "Enforcement of Civil Liabilities." As a result of all of the above, our shareholders may have more difficulties in protecting their interests through actions against us or our Executive Officers, Directors or major shareholders than would shareholders of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction in the United States, depending on where our Directors and Executive Officers are located.

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 for so long as we are an emerging growth company. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period. As a result of this election, our future financial statements may not be comparable to other public companies that comply with the public company effective dates for these new or revised accounting standards.

Because we are a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including: - the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC;         - the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;         - our officers, directors are exempt from the short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. and our principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act; and         - the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material non-public information under Regulation FD. We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish our financial results on a semi-annual basis through press releases distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national securities exchange. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you if you were investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.
