Risk Change Over Time
- Economy & Political Environment - Risk 1Geopolitical conflicts, military actions, sanctions, trade restrictions, and related market disruptions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
Geopolitical conflicts, military actions, civil unrest, terrorism, economic sanctions, trade restrictions, and other international tensions may adversely affect global economic and financial markets. Such events may contribute to increased volatility in commodity, energy, foreign exchange, and capital markets, disrupt global trade and supply chains, reduce consumer and business confidence, and negatively affect economic activity in the regions in which we operate or from which we source goods and services. Although we are not currently aware of any material direct impact of such events on our business, operations, financial condition, or results of operations, geopolitical developments may indirectly affect us through their impact on customers, suppliers, service providers, financial institutions, logistics networks, or other counterparties. Such events could result in supply chain disruptions, increased costs, reduced demand for our products or services, delays in obtaining materials or services, limitations on access to capital, heightened regulatory scrutiny, or other operational challenges. The extent, duration, and impact of any geopolitical conflict or related governmental response, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, and other restrictions, are difficult to predict and may be significant. Any resulting disruptions could exacerbate other risks described in this Annual Report and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects. In addition, periods of heightened geopolitical tension may increase cybersecurity, operational, and compliance risks. We may be subject to attempted cyberattacks, data breaches, disruptions to information technology systems, or increased sanctions and regulatory compliance obligations. While we monitor such risks and assess appropriate mitigation measures from time to time, there can be no assurance that our business will not be adversely affected by future geopolitical developments or related market disruptions.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 57
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1You may have more difficulties protecting your interests than you would as a shareholder of a U.S. corporation.
We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors owed to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors owed to us under Cayman Islands law are not 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 the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States. Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to obtain copies of the register of members or corporate records of the company. They will, however, have such rights as may be set out in the company's articles of association. A Cayman Islands exempted company may maintain its principal register of members and any branch registers in any country or territory, whether within or outside the Cayman Islands, as the company may determine from time to time. There is no requirement for an exempted company to make any returns of members to the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The names and addresses of the members are, accordingly, not a matter of public record and are not available for public inspection. However, an exempted company shall make available at its registered office, in electronic form or any other medium, such register of members, including any branch register of member, as may be required of it upon service of an order or notice by the Tax Information Authority pursuant to the Tax Information Authority Act (2021 Revision) of the Cayman Islands. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the United States. To the extent we choose to follow home country practice with respect to corporate governance matters, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of our board of directors or Controlling Shareholder than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see "Description of Share - Differences in Corporate Law".
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2As a foreign private issuer, 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 foreign private issuer, we are permitted to take advantage of certain provisions in the Nasdaq rules that allow us to follow our home country law for certain governance matters. Certain corporate governance practices in our home country, the Cayman Islands, may differ significantly from corporate governance listing standards. Although we are permitted to follow certain corporate governance rules that conform to Cayman Islands requirements in lieu of many of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards, we intend to comply with the Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to foreign private issuers, including the requirement to hold annual meetings of shareholders. If we rely on our home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the rules of Nasdaq, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. If we choose to do so, we may utilize these exemptions for as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.
We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley") for so long as we remain an emerging growth company. As a result, if we elect not to comply with such auditor attestation requirements, our investors may not have access to certain information they may deem important. The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of such exemptions afforded to an emerging growth company. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective data.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4The future sales of Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders may adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Share
As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. The sales of a substantial number of registered shares could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale or issuance of additional Ordinary Shares. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Ordinary Shares. Despite such a decline in the public trading price, the Resale Shareholder may still experience a positive rate of return on the Ordinary Shares due to the lower price that it purchased the Ordinary Shares compared to other public investors and may be incentivized to sell their Ordinary Shares when others are not.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Our Controlling Shareholder has significant voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interests of our other shareholders.
We are a "controlled company" as defined under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules with our Controlling Shareholder owning approximately 52.24% of our total issued and outstanding Shares, representing approximately 88.39% of the total voting power as at the date of this Annual Report. Our Controlling Shareholder will have the ability to control the outcome of certain matters submitted to shareholders for approval through its controlling ownership of the company, such as the election of directors, amendments to our organizational documents and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets or other major corporate transactions. The interests of the Controlling Shareholder may not be the same as, or may even conflict with, your interests. For example, the Controlling Shareholders could attempt to delay or prevent a change in control of us, even if such change in control would benefit our other shareholders, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their Class A Ordinary Shares as part of a sale of us or our assets, and might affect the prevailing market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares due to investors' perceptions that conflicts of interest may exist or arise. As a result, this concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of our other shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6Our ultimate controlling shareholders' shareholdings in companies with similar businesses may lead to conflicts of interest with our Company and our other shareholders.
Our ultimate controlling shareholders are also the controlling shareholders of FCF Manufacturing Corporation and FPF Corporation, being companies which are engaged in manufacturing of leather goods and related products in the Philippines. When there are new business opportunities of manufacturing of leather goods introduced to our ultimate controlling shareholders, potential conflicts of interest may arise in how our ultimate controlling shareholders allocate such opportunities between the two companies. The two manufacturing companies share some of the same suppliers and customers of certain component of our business. Our ultimate controlling shareholders' relationship with the two companies may impact our Company's decision making, and such decision may not be in the best interest of our Company and our other shareholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7We are a "controlled company" within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules, and may follow certain exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that could adversely affect our public shareholders.
Our largest shareholder owns more than a majority of the voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group, or another company is a "controlled company" and is permitted to phase in its compliance with the independent committee requirements. Although we do not intend to rely on the "controlled company" exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules even if we are deemed a "controlled company", we could elect to rely on these exemptions in the future. If we were to elect to rely on the "controlled company" exemptions, a majority of the members of our board of directors might not be independent directors and our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, if we rely on the exemptions, during the period we remain a "controlled company" and during any transition period following a time when we are no longer a "controlled company", you would not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8Securities analysts may not publish favorable research or reports about our business or may publish no information at all, which could cause our Class A Ordinary Share price or trading volume to decline.
The trading market will be influenced to some extent by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. As a new public company, we may be slow to attract research coverage and the analysts who publish information about our Class A Ordinary Shares will have had relatively little experience with us or possibly with our industry as well, which could affect their ability to accurately forecast our results and could make it more likely that we fail to meet their estimates. In the event we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage, if any of the analysts who cover us provide inaccurate or unfavorable research or issue an adverse opinion regarding our Class A Ordinary Share price, our share price could decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to publish reports covering us regularly, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause our share price or trading volume to decline and result in the loss of all or a part of your investment in us.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9Substantial future sales or perceived sales of our Ordinary Shares in the public market could cause the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline.
Sales of our Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause their market price to decline. Such sales might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate. Additionally, if any existing shareholder or shareholders sell a substantial amount of our Ordinary Shares, this, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on their price.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10The market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be highly volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares is likely to be volatile. After the IPO, we have a relatively small public float due to the relatively small size of the IPO, and the concentrated ownership of our Class A Ordinary Shares. As a result of our small public float, our Class A Ordinary Shares may be less liquid and have greater stock price volatility than the shares of companies with broader public ownership. Our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of other factors, which include: - whether we achieve our anticipated corporate objectives;- changes in financial or operational estimates or projections;- termination of the lock-up agreement or other restrictions on the ability of our shareholders and other security holders to sell shares after the IPO; and - general economic or political conditions in Cambodia, the United States, or elsewhere. In addition, the stock price of a number of companies involved in the IPO, particularly among companies with relatively smaller public floats, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our Class A Ordinary Shares may 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. 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, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. 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. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares. A decline in the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares also could adversely affect our ability to sell additional ordinary shares or other securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in the ordinary shares will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be unable to readily sell our Class A Ordinary Shares they hold or may not be able to sell their ordinary shares at all. In the past, shareholders have filed securities class action litigation following periods of market volatility. If we were to become involved in securities litigation, it could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and the attention of management from our business, and adversely affect our business.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11Volatility in the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may subject us to securities litigation.
The market for our Class A Ordinary Shares may have, when compared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility and we expect that our Class A Ordinary Share price may continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.
