  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
    We may need additional capital and may sell additional Ordinary Shares or other equity securities or incur indebtedness, which could result in additional dilution to our shareholders or increase our debt service obligations.

    We may require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our cash resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities or equity-linked debt securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
    The market for our Ordinary Shares may not provide investors with adequate liquidity.

    Liquidity of the market for our Ordinary Shares depends on a number of factors, including our financial condition and operating results, the number of holders of our Ordinary Shares, the market for similar securities and the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the securities. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in the Company will maintain a trading market in our Ordinary Shares, or how liquid that market will be. If an active market is not maintained, investors may have difficulty selling Ordinary Shares that they hold.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
    The Company may issue additional Ordinary Shares or other equity securities without seeking approval of the Company's shareholders, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of the Ordinary Shares.

    The Company may choose to seek third party or other financing to provide additional working capital, and/or compensate its directors, officers, employees and consultants with restricted stock units, restricted stock and options to purchase Ordinary Shares, in which events the Company may issue additional equity securities. The Company may also issue additional Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in the future for any reason or in connection with, among other things, future acquisitions, the redemption of outstanding warrants, repayment of outstanding indebtedness or for compensatory purposes, without shareholder approval, in a number of circumstances. For example, in April 2026, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 15,000,000 Ordinary Shares at US$0.40 per share pursuant to a Form F-1 registration statement. For further details of the offering, see "Item 10. Additional Information – 10.C. Material Contracts - Registered Direct Offering in April 2026". The Company has elected to follow home country practice in lieu of the requirements under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) to seek shareholder approval in connection with certain transactions involving the sale, issuance, and potential issuance of its Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for its Ordinary Shares) at price less than certain referenced prices, if such shares equal 20% or more of the Company's Ordinary Shares or voting power outstanding before the issuance. The Company also does not always seek shareholder approval in connection with the establishment or material amendment of a stock option or purchase plan pursuant to which stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees or consultants. This has resulted in substantial dilution to the Company's shareholders from time to time in the past, and may continue to do so in the future. The Company has also elected to follow home country practice in lieu of the requirements under Nasdaq Rule 5620(a) that we hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of each fiscal year. The Company's issuance of additional Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank would have the following effects: - The Company's existing shareholders' proportionate ownership interest in the Company will decrease;         - the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;         - the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding Ordinary Share may be diminished; and         - the market price of the Ordinary Shares may decline.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4
    Nasdaq has proposed new listing rules that, if adopted, could result in the suspension of trading and delisting of our securities if we fail to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities.

    On January 13, 2026, Nasdaq submitted to the SEC proposed rule changes that would require companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of at least $5 million for 30 consecutive trading days. The proposal would also permit the suspension of trading and immediate delisting of securities of companies that fail to meet this requirement, without providing a cure or compliance period, and would modify the procedures and discretion applicable to hearings before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. If these proposed rules are approved and become effective, and if we are unable to maintain the required minimum market value of our listed securities, our securities could be suspended from trading and delisted from Nasdaq, which could adversely affect the liquidity and market price of our securities and our ability to raise capital.

  • Debt & Financing - Risk 5
    We will need in the future to raise additional funds, inter alia, by equity, debt, or convertible debt financings, to fund our day to day operations and to support our growth, and those funds may be unavailable on acceptable terms, or at all. As a result, we may be unable to meet our future capital needs, which may limit our ability to grow and jeopardize our ability to continue our business, and there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

    We plan to continue to make investments to support our growth and will require additional funds to respond to business challenges that may arise, including the need to develop new products and services, enhance our technology, scale and improve our operating infrastructure, or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we will need to engage in equity, debt or convertible debt financings to secure additional funds. We have also used our Ordinary Shares as currency to satisfy existing indebtedness. In raising additional funds by the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, or the issuance of our securities to satisfy indebtedness, our shareholders have been and may in the future experience substantial dilution. Additionally, the Company has elected to follow home country practice in lieu of the requirements under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) to seek shareholder approval in connection with certain transactions involving the sale, issuance, and potential issuance of its Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for its Ordinary Shares) at price less than certain referenced prices, if such shares equal 20% or more of the Company's Ordinary Shares or voting power outstanding before the issuance. This has resulted in substantial dilution to the Company's shareholders from time to time in the past, and may continue to do so in the future. Debt financing, such as credit facilities or corporate bonds, may involve covenants restricting our operations or our ability to incur additional debt. Debt financing may also require security arrangements including cash collateral agreements that restrict the availability of cash held as collateral which is the case for amounts we may borrow in the future. In addition, future equity financing or replacement or refinancing of any debt financings may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all, and the fact that debt holders are repaid first may reduce our ability to raise a later equity financing and may limit the ability to distribute dividends.

    Our independent registered public accounting firm's auditors' report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses from operations of approximately HK$23.5 million for the year end March 31, 2026 and has accumulated deficit of HK$47.7 million. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. - On January 27, 2025, the Company completed the IPO and the exercise of the over-allotment option with gross proceeds totaling US$9,200,000 of 2,300,000 Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq Capital Market, at a public offering price of US$4.00 per share, and give rise to total gross proceeds of US$9.2 million. We believe the completion of the IPO alleviates the substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to meet its working capital needs in the future, it may be forced to delay, reduce or cease its operations.

    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 BVI law.

    We are a BVI business company limited by shares and incorporated under the laws of the BVI. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association and the common law of the BVI. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders, and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under the BVI law are to a large extent governed by the BCA and the common law of the BVI. The common law of the BVI is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the BVI, 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 BVI. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under BVI law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. Under the BCA, members of the general public, on payment of a nominal fee, can obtain copies of the public records of a company available at the office of the Registrar of Corporate Affairs, which will include the company's certificate of incorporation, its memorandum and articles of association (with any amendments), and records of license fees paid to date and will also disclose any articles of dissolution, articles of merger and a register of charges if the company has elected to file such a register. A shareholder of the company is also entitled, upon giving written notice to us, to inspect (i) our memorandum and articles of association, (ii) the register of members, (iii) the register of directors, and (iv) minutes of meetings and resolutions of members and of those classes of members of which that member is a member, and to make copies and take extracts from the documents and records referred to in (i) to (iv) above. However, our directors may, if they are satisfied that it would be contrary to the company's interests to allow a member to inspect any document, or part of a document specified in (ii) to (iv) above, refuse to permit the member to inspect the document or limit the inspection of the document, including limiting the making of copies or the taking of extracts or records. Where a company fails or refuses to permit a member to inspect a document or permits a member to inspect a document subject to limitations, that member may apply to the BVI court for an order that he should be permitted to inspect the document or to inspect the document without limitation. 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 BVI 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 the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7
    You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.

    BVI law provides shareholders with only limited rights to convene a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these rights may be provided in a company's articles of association. Our articles of association allow our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than 30% of our voting share capital in issue, to convene a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. Advance notice of at least 7 days is required for the convening of our general meetings. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least one shareholder present or by proxy, representing a majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote on resolutions to be considered at the meeting.

  • Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8
    Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.

    We are a BVI business company limited by shares and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. Substantially all of our current operations are conducted in Hong Kong. In addition, our current officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. Substantially all of the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the BVI, Hong Kong and the PRC may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers. For more information regarding the relevant laws of the BVI, Hong Kong and the PRC, see "Enforceability of Civil Liabilities."

    Although the audit report included in this Annual Report is prepared by U.S. auditors who are currently inspected by the PCAOB, there is no guarantee that future audit reports will be prepared by auditors inspected by the PCAOB and, as such, in the future investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. Furthermore, trading in our Shares may be prohibited under the HFCAA if the SEC subsequently determines our audit work is performed by auditors that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely, and as a result, U.S. national securities exchanges, such as the Nasdaq, may determine to delist our securities. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which became law on December 29, 2022 and amends the HFCAA and requires 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, and thus, reduces the time before our Shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted.

    The HFCAA was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states if the SEC determines that a company has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit the company's shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States. 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 "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. 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. 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 Board 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. On November 5, 2021, the SEC approved the PCAOB's Rule 6100, Board Determinations Under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. Rule 6100 provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether it 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. On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA, which took effect on January 10, 2022. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. On December 16, 2021, PCAOB announced the PCAOB HFCAA determinations (the "PCAOB determinations") relating to the PCAOB's inability to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in the PRC and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in the PRC. The PCAOB made its determinations pursuant to PCAOB Rule 6100, which provides a framework for how the PCAOB fulfills its responsibilities under the HFCAA. The report further listed in its Appendix A and Appendix B, Registered Public Accounting Firms Subject to Mainland China Determination and Registered Public Accounting Firms Subject to the Hong Kong Determination, respectively. Our auditor, Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP is headquartered in New York, New York, and is not subject to the PCAOB determination. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it had signed a Statement of Protocol (the "SOP") with the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of China. The SOP, together with two protocol agreements governing inspections and investigations (together, the "SOP Agreement"), establishes a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based in the PRC, as required under U.S. law. The Agreement remains unpublished and is subject to further explanation and implementation. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the SOP Agreement disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have sole discretion to select any audit firms for inspection or investigation and the PCAOB inspectors and investigators shall have a right to see all audit documentation without redaction. According to the PCAOB, its December 2021 determinations under the HFCAA remain in effect. The PCAOB is required to reassess these determinations by the end of 2022. Under the PCAOB's rules, a reassessment of a determination under the HFCAA may result in the PCAOB reaffirming, modifying or vacating the determination. On December 15, 2022, PCAOB announced that it was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate audit firms in the PRC for the first time in history, and released the 2022 HFCAA Determination Report (the "Report"). The Report states that PCAOB (1) is able to select engagements, audit areas, and potential violations to be reviewed or investigated; (2) has timely access to, and the ability to retain and use, any document or information that PCAOB considers relevant to an inspection or investigation; and (3) is able to conduct inspections and investigations in a manner consistent with the provisions of HFCAA and the rules of PCAOB, as interpreted and applied by PCAOB. The Report concludes that, consistent with the HFCAA, PCAOB is able to inspect and investigate completely firms headquartered in the PRC and Hong Kong. However, the PCAOB didn't exclude the possibility of losing complete access again and made clear that, if in the future it determines it no longer can inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by any PRC authorities, it will act expeditiously according to the HFCAA. Our auditor, Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included in this Annual Report, as a firm headquartered in New York, New York, and registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP's first triannual inspection by the PCAOB was completed in August 2025. Therefore, we believe that, as of the date of this Annual Report, our auditor is not subject to the PCAOB determinations. However, the recent developments would add uncertainties to our offering, and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would not apply additional and\or more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor's audit procedures and quality control procedures, the 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 fulfil 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 also actively assessing how best to implement other requirements of the HFCAA, including the identification process and the trading prohibition requirements, and 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 Shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted or prohibited from being traded on the U.S. national securities exchange earlier than would be required by the HFCAA. If it were determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate our auditor completely, the trading in our Shares would be prohibited, and as a result, Nasdaq might determine to delist our Shares. If our 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 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 Shares.

    The market price for the Ordinary Shares may be volatile and may be affected by economic conditions beyond our control.

    The trading prices of the Ordinary Shares are likely to be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. In addition, the trading volume of our Ordinary Shares may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of our Ordinary Shares declines, you may be unable to resell your Ordinary Shares at a competitive price. We cannot assure you that the market price of our Ordinary Shares will not fluctuate or significantly decline in the future. In addition, we cannot assure you that a trading market for our Ordinary Shares will be maintained. Some specific factors that could negatively affect the price of our Ordinary Shares or result in fluctuations in their price and trading volume include: - regulatory developments affecting us, our consumers, or our industry;- conditions in the mobile game advertising business and the public perception of the legitimacy and ethics of certain business practices of our competitors or other market players within the industry;- announcements of studies and reports relating to the quality of our product and service offerings or those of our competitors;- changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other mobile game advertising businesses;- actual or anticipated fluctuations in our prospects or operating results;- changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;- conditions in the U.S. and global financial markets - announcements by us or our competitors of new product and service offerings, acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments;- additions to or departures of our senior management;- detrimental negative publicity about us, our management or our industry;- fluctuations of exchange rates between the HKD and the U.S. dollar;- release or expiry of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding Ordinary Shares; and - sales or perceived potential sales of additional Ordinary Shares; and - the other factors described in this "Item 3. Key Information-3D. Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this Annual Report. In recent years, the stock markets generally have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of constituent companies. Broad market and industry factors may significantly affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market in the immediate future as we recently concluded our IPO.

    If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding the Ordinary Shares, the market price for the 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 industry or securities analysts decide to cover us and in the future 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. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade the 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 the Ordinary Shares to decline.

    Certain recent IPOs of companies with relatively small public floats comparable to our public float have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects of the respective company. Our Ordinary Shares may potentially experience rapid and substantial price volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares.

    In addition to the risks addressed above, the market price and trading volume of our Ordinary Shares may be affected by economic conditions beyond our control and thus may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility. Recently, companies with comparably small public floats and IPO 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 companies' actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects. Although the specific cause of such volatility is unclear, our 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. Our Ordinary Shares may experience run-ups and declines that are seemingly 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. In addition, investors in our Ordinary Shares may experience losses, which may be material, if the price of our Ordinary Shares declines or if such investors purchase our Ordinary Shares prior to any price decline.

    Prior to the completion of our IPO in January 2025 and the initial listing on Nasdaq Capital Market, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. You may not be able to resell the Ordinary Shares at or above the price you paid, or at all.

    Prior to the completion of our IPO in January 2025, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. Although our Ordinary Shares are on the Nasdaq Capital Market, if an active trading market for the Ordinary Shares does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the Ordinary Shares will be materially and adversely affected. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for the Ordinary Shares will develop or that the market price of the Ordinary Shares will not decline below the initial public offering price.

    Certain existing shareholders have substantial influence over our Company and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders.

    Our directors, officers and beneficial holders of more than 5% of our outstanding Shares collectively own an aggregate of approximately 73.5 % of the total voting power of our outstanding Shares. As a result, they have substantial influence over our business, including significant corporate actions such as mergers, consolidations, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. They may take actions that are not in the best interest of us or our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale by our company and may reduce the price of the Ordinary Shares. In addition, the significant concentration of share ownership may adversely affect the trading price of the Ordinary Shares due to investors' perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.

    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 of 2002 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. In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to avail ourselves of an exemption that allows us to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. As a result, we will not be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that comply with the public company effective dates. We have also in the past elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result of these elections, the information that we provide to our shareholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies.

    We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to U.S. domestic public companies.

    Because we qualify as 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 with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K;- 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 stock 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 nonpublic information under Regulation FD. Section 8103 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, named the "Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act" was signed into law on December 18, 2025, will require directors and officers of foreign private issuers to make insider reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, effective March 18, 2026. Directors and officers will remain exempt from the short swing profit rules of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. 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 results on a semi-annual basis as 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. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information that would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer. As a company incorporated in the BVI, 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 requirements; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance requirements. We intend to rely on such home country practices with respect to our corporate governance, that differ in significant respects from the corporate governance requirements applicable to U.S. companies. For example, we are exempt from the Nasdaq Listing Rules that require a listed U.S. company to: - have a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors;- require non-management directors to meet on a regular basis without management present;- have an independent compensation committee;- have an independent nominating and corporate governance committee; and - seek shareholder approval for the implementation of certain equity compensation plans and issuances of ordinary shares. Our home country practices do not require each member of our compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee to be an independent director. With respect to our audit committee, it is required to comply with the provisions of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. companies listed on Nasdaq. However, because we are a foreign private issuer, our audit committee is not subject to additional corporate governance requirements in the Nasdaq Listing Rules applicable to listed U.S. companies, including using more stringent criteria than those applicable to us as a foreign private issuer. The Company has elected to follow home country practice in lieu of the requirements under Nasdaq Rule 5635(a), 5635(b), 5635(c), and 5635(d). As a result, the Company does not seek shareholder approval in connection with certain transactions involving the sale, issuance, and potential issuance of its Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into or exercisable for its Ordinary Shares) at price less than certain referenced prices, if such shares equal 20% or more of the Company's Ordinary Shares or voting power outstanding before the issuance. Additionally, the Company has also elected to follow home country practice in lieu of the requirements under Nasdaq Rule 5620(a) that we hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of each fiscal year. We may in the future elect to follow additional home country practices in British Virgin Islands instead of those otherwise required under the applicable rules of Nasdaq for domestic U.S. issuers with regard to certain corporate governance matters.

    If we cannot continue to satisfy the listing requirements and other rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our securities may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and your ability to sell them.

    Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "TJGC". However, we cannot assure you that our securities will continue to be listed on Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we will be required to comply with certain rules the Nasdaq Capital Market, including those regarding minimum stockholders' equity, minimum share price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, and various additional requirements. Even though we initially satisfied the listing requirements and other applicable rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, we may not be able to continue to satisfy these requirements and applicable rules. If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq Capital Market criteria for maintaining our listing, our securities could be subject to delisting. On March 26, 2026, the Company received a notice from the Listings Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of Nasdaq notifying the Company that the minimum bid price per share of its ordinary shares was below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule"). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or until September 22, 2026 (the "Compliance Period"), to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the closing bid price per share of the Company's ordinary shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by September 22, 2026, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. The Company has taken action to address the non-compliance, including effecting a 3-for-1 share consolidation. On July 1, 2026, the Company received a formal notification from the Staff confirming that the Company has regained compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Specifically, the Staff determined that from June 16, 2026 to June 30, 2026, the closing bid price of the Company's Ordinary Shares has been at $1.00 per share or greater for at least 10 consecutive business days. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and Nasdaq considers the prior bid price deficiency matter has been closed. Additionally, as of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has not timely filed its interim financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2025 on Form 6-K with the SEC. The late filing has been rectified, and the required Form 6-K was submitted on April 15, 2026. To date, the Company has not received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq relating to this matter. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will not issue a deficiency notice or take other actions with respect to the prior non-compliance. If Nasdaq determines that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(2) for continued listing, the Company may be required to submit a compliance plan within any prescribed timeframe, and there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept such plan or grant any extension of time for the Company to regain compliance. While receipt of any such deficiency notice would have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's Ordinary Shares, and the Company's Ordinary Shares would continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "TJGC" during any compliance period, if the Company is unable to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(2) within the timeframe permitted by Nasdaq, the Company's Ordinary Shares may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which would have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of the Company's Ordinary Shares and could adversely affect the market price of the Ordinary Shares and the Company's ability to raise additional capital. If the Nasdaq Capital Market delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including: - a limited availability for market quotations for our securities;- reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;- a determination that our Ordinary Shares is a "penny stock," which will require brokers trading in our Ordinary 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;- limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and - a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

    Our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from being traded on a national exchange under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors for two consecutive years beginning in 2021. The delisting of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.

    The HFCAA was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states if the SEC determines that a company has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit such company's securities from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S. 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 "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. 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. 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 completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA which took effect on January 10, 2022. The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. On December 16, 2021, PCAOB announced the PCAOB HFCAA determinations (the "PCAOB determinations") relating to the PCAOB's inability to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China of the PRC or Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it had signed an SOP with the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of China. The SOP Agreements establish a specific, accountable framework to make possible complete inspections and investigations by the PCAOB of audit firms based in PRC and Hong Kong, as required under U.S. law. The Agreement remains unpublished and is subject to further explanation and implementation. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the SOP Agreement disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have sole discretion to select any audit firms for inspection or investigation and the PCAOB inspectors and investigators shall have a right to see all audit documentation without redaction. According to the PCAOB, its December 2021 determinations under the HFCA Act remain in effect. The PCAOB is required to reassess these determinations by the end of 2022. Under the PCAOB's rules, a reassessment of a determination under the HFCA Act may result in the PCAOB reaffirming, modifying or vacating the determination. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB issued a new Determination Report which: (1) vacated the PCAOB determinations; and (2) concluded that the PCAOB has been able to conduct inspections and investigations completely in the PRC in 2022. The December 15, 2022 Determination Report cautions, however, that authorities in the PRC might take positions at any time that would prevent the PCAOB from continuing to inspect or investigate completely. As required by the HFCA Act, if in the future the PCAOB determines it no longer can inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in the PRC, the PCAOB will act expeditiously to consider whether it should issue a new determination. Our auditor, Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included in this Annual Report, as a firm headquartered in New York and registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. However, we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or other 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. It remains unclear what the SEC's implementation process related to the above rules and regulations will entail or what further actions the SEC, the PCAOB or Nasdaq will take to address these issues and what impact those actions will have on companies that have significant operations in the PRC and/or Hong Kong and have securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange. In addition, 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.

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.
