    If we fail to retain business relationships with our top five (5) key customers or secure new customers, our business may be adversely affected

    During the financial years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, revenue derived from our top five (5) key customers, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 96.0%, 90.2% and 87.0%, respectively, of our total revenue and our top key customer accounted for approximately 29.9%, 42.9% and 26.9% of our revenue, respectively. Because we have not entered into long-term contracts with any of our top five (5) key customers, and our services are provided to them on a project-by-project basis, our ability to obtain new business and generate recurring revenue from them is dependent on our maintaining good business relationships with them and subject to the stability of their operations and to their business strategies, both of which are beyond our control and our ability to predict. If our key customers decide to change their business strategies, such as downsizing their business or suspending or ceasing their marketing, development or expansion plans, their demand for our services may decrease or they may switch to only working with contractors that are willing to offer highly competitive tender/quotation prices or a longer progress payment period or to accept less commercially favorable terms. Any significant decrease in the number or contract value of projects obtained from our key customers and/or their significant delay in or failure to make payments could lead to loss of revenue and/or affect our liquidity and thus adversely affect our business. Accordingly, if we are unable to enter into business relationships with new customers to diversify our customer portfolio, our business may be adversely affected.

    We determine the tender price or quotation for a project based on our estimation of the time and costs involved, which may not be accurate, and any material deviation from our estimate may lead to cost overruns or even losses on our projects

    We determine the tender price or quotation for a project based on our estimated project costs (which will largely depend on the amount of time required to complete the project) plus a mark-up margin. We have to maintain the competitiveness of our pricing while maximizing our profit margin. If we perceive keen competition on a particular project, we may submit a more competitive tender price or quotation with a lower mark-up margin, thereby reducing profitability. If the mark-up margin set by us is too low, we may be unable to cover the financial impact of any unfavorable circumstances during project implementation. On the other hand, if we try to allow for unfavorable circumstances and set a higher mark-up margin, our tender or quotation may become uncompetitive. There is no assurance that our pricing strategy and policy will be effective or responsive to market price changes and changes in customers' demand or that we will always be able to price our tenders or quotations competitively, failing which may cause us to be unsuccessful in the tender or quotation, thereby resulting in a decrease in the number of projects that may be awarded to us. In turn, this would adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and business prospects. Most of our contracts with customers do not have any price adjustment mechanisms to accommodate any fluctuation in costs. As there is no assurance that the costs estimated at the beginning of a contract will not be increased during the contract period, we have to bear the risk of increasing costs accordingly. Cost overruns may result from inaccurate estimations of time and costs, increases in the costs of labor, materials and subcontracting, additional costs derived from unexpected technical difficulties encountered during the progress of the projects and rectification of work defects, adverse weather conditions, disputes with parties involved in the projects, changes in the regulatory requirements and government policies, inflation and unforeseen problems and circumstances, some of which are beyond our control. Changes or disagreements regarding project execution such as workmanship and choice of materials, among other things, may occur in a project. Any of these may also give rise to delays in completion of works or even unilateral termination of contracts by our customers due to unsatisfactory performance. If we are unable to control our costs within our estimates or recover the extra costs and control the progress of our projects, we may suffer cost overruns or even losses on our projects which may adversely affect our profit margin and results of operations.

    Inability to renew our existing registrations and licenses or cancellation or suspension of our existing registrations and licenses could materially affect our operations and financial performance

    We are regulated by the BCA and various other regulatory bodies in Singapore. These regulatory bodies stipulate the criteria that must be satisfied before registrations and licenses are granted to, and/or renewed and/or maintained for, our business. The maintenance and renewal of our registrations and licenses are subject to compliance with the relevant regulations. In particular, we are a Grade GB2 licensed general builder, Grade C1 contractor under the CW02 (civil engineering) workhead, Grade L5 contractor under the CR07 (cable/pipe laying & road reinstatement) workhead, Grade L1 contractor under the ME11 (mechanical engineering) workhead and Grade L6 contractor under the SY05 (electrical & electronic materials, products & components). The grading under the workhead also reflects the profile of a contractor and the limit on the value of each public sector project that a contractor can undertake, which potential customers may consider during tender/quotation invitation and/or tender/quotation evaluation. The requirements laid down by the BCA may change from time to time, and there is no assurance that we will be able to meet the changing requirements and maintain and/or renew our registrations and licenses. Our registrations and licenses may be downgraded, suspended or cancelled if we fail to comply with the applicable requirements. Delay or refusal may also occur when renewing such registrations and licenses upon expiry. As we are a civil engineering service provider that specialize in subsurface utility works, all our projects are in the public sector and an inability to renew or maintain our existing workhead grading may reduce the number of project opportunities and the value of the public sector projects that we can tender/quote for, and have an adverse impact on our operations and financial performance. Failure to keep or renew our existing workhead categories could result in suspension of our business operations, restriction or prohibition of certain business activities, or commencement of new business, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business operation, financial position, financial results and prospects.

    An active trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not be established or, if established, may not continue and the trading price for our Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly

    We cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our Ordinary Shares will be established. If an active public market for our Ordinary Shares does not occur, the market price and liquidity of our Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected. As a result, investors in our Ordinary Shares may experience a significant decrease in the value of their shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    We have received a notice from the Nasdaq Capital Market that we have failed to maintain the continued minimum listing price of $1. We may not maintain the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which could limit investors' ability to make transactions in our Ordinary Shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions

    Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to continue listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we must maintain certain financial and share price levels and we may be unable to meet these requirements. We cannot assure you that our Shares will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. On April 14, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying us that based on the closing bid price of the Company for the period from February 28, 2025 to April 11, 2025, we no longer meet the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share. We had a 180-calendar day compliance period in which to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirement. We did not regain compliance in the compliance period and requested an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. On October 17, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq, notifying the Company that it is eligible for an additional 180-day extension, or until April 13, 2026, to regain compliance. The shares will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol "SKK" through the 180-day extension. On April 6, 2026, we effected a share consolidation on a 10 for 1 ratio. The objective of the share consolidation is to enable us to regain compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) and maintain its listing on Nasdaq. If it appears that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that our Shares will be subject to delisting. If the Nasdaq Capital Market delists our Ordinary Shares and we are unable to list our Shares on another national securities exchange, we expect our Shares could be quoted on an over-the-counter market in the United States. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: - a limited availability of market quotations for our Ordinary Shares;   - reduced liquidity for our Ordinary Shares;   - a determination that our Ordinary Shares are "penny stock," which will require brokers trading in our Shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Ordinary Shares;   - a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and   - a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. As long as our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, U.S. federal law prevents or preempts the states from regulating their sale. However, the law 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 their sale. Further, if we were no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our shares.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5
    The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors

    The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial volatility, which could make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares and result in substantial losses to investors There have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock 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 may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our 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 Ordinary Shares. The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may 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 Ordinary Shares are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our Ordinary Shares. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to fluctuate greatly. Holders of our 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 Ordinary Shares. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our 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   - potential litigation or regulatory investigations. Any of these factors may result in significant and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our shares will trade. In the event of market volatility, 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. 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 and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm our results of operations. 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.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6
    Certain recent initial public offerings of companies with public floats comparable to our anticipated public float have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. We may experience similar volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our Ordinary Shares

    In addition to the risks addressed above in "The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors," our Ordinary Shares may be subject to extreme volatility that is seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of our business. Recently, companies with comparable public floats and initial public offering sizes have experienced instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines, and such stock price volatility was seemingly unrelated to the respective company's underlying performance. Although the specific cause of such volatility is unclear, our anticipated public float may amplify the impact the actions taken by a few shareholders have on the price of our shares, which may cause our share price to deviate, potentially significantly, from a price that better reflects the underlying performance of our business. Should our Ordinary Shares experience run-ups and declines that are seemingly unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, prospective investors may have difficulty assessing the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, investors of our Ordinary Shares may experience losses, which may be material, if the price of our Ordinary Shares declines investors purchase our Ordinary Shares prior to any price decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Ordinary Shares, the market price for our Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline

    The trading market for our 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 Ordinary Shares, the market price for our 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 Ordinary Shares to decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    Short selling may drive down the market price of our Ordinary Shares

    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. Further, as a "foreign private issuer," our directors and officers remain exempt from Section 16(b) (short-swing profit liability) and Section 16(c) (short sale prohibitions).

    As a "controlled company" within the meaning of the Nasdaq Capital Market Rules, we may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies

    We are a "controlled company" as defined under the Nasdaq Capital Market Rules, because one of our shareholders holds more than 50.0% 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 may rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market Rules, including (i) the requirement that a majority of our Board of Directors must be Independent Non-executive Directors; (ii) the requirement that our Directors must be selected or recommended solely by Independent Non-executive Directors and (iii) the requirement that we have a corporate governance and nominating committee that is composed entirely of Independent Non-executive Directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities. As a result, you may not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.

    Ms. Liao, and our Executive Directors and Executive Officers as a whole have significant influence over our Company, including control over decisions that require the approval of shareholders, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for a vote.

    We are currently controlled by Ms. Liao. Ms. Liao will control 41.7% of the voting power of our Ordinary Shares. As long as Ms. Liao 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. Liao's ownership falls below 50.0%, she will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions. Ms. Liao, collectively with our Executive Directors and Executive Officers (and their affiliated parties), control 57.9% of the voting power of our Ordinary Shares. Additionally, Ms. Liao's interests, or the interests of our Executive Directors and Executive Officers as a whole, may not align with the interests of our other shareholders.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11
    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 significantly from the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards

    As a foreign private issuer that has our Ordinary Shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we rely on a provision in the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards that allows us to follow Cayman Islands law with regard to certain aspects of corporate governance. This allows 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. For example, we are exempt from the Nasdaq Capital Market regulations that require a listed U.S. company to: - have a majority of the Board of Directors consist of Independent Non-executive Directors;   - 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 20.0% or more of our Ordinary Shares for less than the greater of book or market value of the Shares. As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. Our audit committee is required to comply with the provisions of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, which is applicable to U.S. companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Therefore, we have a fully independent audit committee in accordance with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. However, because we are a foreign private issuer, our audit committee is not subject to additional Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance requirements applicable to listed U.S. companies, including the requirements to have a minimum of three (3) members and to affirmatively determine that all members are "independent," using more stringent criteria than those applicable to us as a foreign private issuer.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 12
    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 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 has 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. There is no guarantee that the courts of the Cayman Islands would automatically recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of Singapore or the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the Singapore securities laws or the federal securities laws of the United States or any state. In addition, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize and enforce a judgment predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are taxes, fines or penal in nature, or otherwise contrary to public policy, including punitive damages. 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 plan to rely on home country practice with respect to any corporate governance matter. Accordingly, 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, 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."

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 13
    Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable

    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 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 Directors, Executive Officers 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.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 14
    We 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 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 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 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.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 15
    We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies

    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;   - the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and   - the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material non-public information under Regulation FD. We are required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four (4) months of the end of each financial 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. 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. In addition, historically, Rule 3a12-3 under the Exchange Act exempted securities registered by a "foreign private issuer" from Section 16 of the Exchange Act. However, effective March 18, 2026, pursuant to the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act, directors and officers of foreign private issuers are required to comply with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, directors and officers of a "foreign private issuer" remain exempt from Section 16(b) (short-swing profit liability) and Section 16(c) (short sale prohibitions). As a result of our status as a "foreign private issuer," 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.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 16
    We will incur significantly increased costs and devote substantial management time as a result of the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market

    We will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses as a public reporting company, particularly after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company. For example, we will be required to comply with the additional requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Capital Market rules, including applicable corporate governance practices. We expect that compliance with these requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, we expect that our management and other personnel will need to divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to these public company requirements. We cannot predict or estimate the number of additional costs we may incur as a result of becoming a public company or the timing of such costs. In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidelines are provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management's time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may also initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or pre-empts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." Because we expect that our Shares will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, such securities will be covered securities. Although the states are pre-empted 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. Further, if we were no longer listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our securities.

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.
