Risks
Related to Our Business and Industry
In
the following discussion of risks related to our business and industry, unless otherwise provided, “we,” “us,”
“our,” or “ourselves” refer to our operating subsidiary or OFA Group.
Our
industry is highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete effectively, which could result in reduced revenue, profitability and
market share.
We
are engaged in a dynamic and evolving business. The markets we serve are highly competitive and we compete with a wide range of regional,
national and international companies. These competitors may have greater financial and other resources than we do. Others are smaller
and more specialized and concentrate their resources in particular areas of expertise. The extent of our competition varies by the markets
and geographic area. In addition, the technical and professional aspects of some of our services generally do not require large upfront
capital expenditures and provide limited barriers against new competitors. If we are unable to compete effectively, we may experience
a loss of market share or reduced profitability or both, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
The
degree and type of competition we face is also influenced by the type and scope of a particular project. Our clients make competitive
determinations based upon qualifications, experience, performance, reputation, technology, customer relationships, price and ability
to provide the relevant services in a timely, safe and cost-efficient manner.
We
may be adversely affected if we do not retain the continued services of our senior management and key technical personnel.
Our
business depends on the continued service of our senior management and key technical personnel, including designers, architects, and
project managers. The loss of one or more members of senior management or technical staff could disrupt ongoing projects, delay new project
execution, or result in the loss of institutional knowledge.
The
markets in which we operate are highly competitive for qualified professionals. We may encounter difficulties in recruiting or retaining
experienced personnel, or in replacing them within the timeframes required to meet client or project needs. If we are unable to retain
or timely replace key personnel, our operations, project delivery capability, and competitive position may be adversely affected.
34
Demand
for our services is impacted by economic downturns, reductions in government or private spending and times of political uncertainty.
We
provide full spectrum technical and professional solutions to clients operating in a number of sectors and industries, including programs
for office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, schools, hospitals, government agencies, charity organizations and other general industrial
and consumer businesses and sectors. These sectors and industries and the resulting demand for our services have been, and we expect
will continue to be, subject to significant fluctuations due to a variety of factors beyond our control, including economic conditions
and changes in client spending, particularly during periods of economic or political uncertainty. Consequently, our results have varied,
and may continue to vary, depending upon the demand for future projects in the markets and the locations in which we operate.
Uncertain
global economic, socioeconomic and political conditions may negatively impact our clients’ ability and willingness to fund their
projects, including their ability to raise capital and pay, or timely pay, our invoices. These factors may also cause our clients to
reduce their capital expenditures, alter the mix of services purchased, seek more favorable pricing and other contract terms and otherwise
slow their spending on our services. For example, in the public sector, declines in local tax revenues as well as other economic declines
may result in lower local government spending. In addition, under such conditions, many of our competitors may be more inclined to take
greater or unusual risks or accept terms and conditions in contracts that we might not deem acceptable. These conditions may reduce the
demand for our services, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally,
uncertain economic, socioeconomic and political conditions may make it difficult for our clients, our vendors, and us to accurately forecast
and plan future business activities. Changes in trade policies, regulatory frameworks, or other external developments may create uncertainty
in the markets where we operate. In addition, our business has traditionally lagged recoveries in the general economy and, therefore,
may not recover as quickly as the economy at large. Weak economic conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. Furthermore, if a significant portion of our clients or projects are concentrated in a specific
geographic area or industry, our business may be disproportionately affected by regional conflicts, negative trends or economic downturns
in those specific geographic areas or industries.
Our
operating history may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results, and we may not be able to sustain our historical growth
rates.
Our
operating history may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results. We incurred continuing losses from our operations
and have an accumulated deficit of $10,983,014 as of March 31, 2026. We had revenue of $716,885 and $202,007 for years ended March 31,
2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, we had net loss of $8,022,816 for the year ended March 31, 2026 and net loss of $714,680 for
the year ended March 31, 2025. There is no assurance that we will be profitable or if we will able to grow our revenues in future periods.
Our growth rates may decline for any number of possible reasons, and some of them are beyond our control, including decreasing customer
demand, increasing competition, declining growth of our industry in general, or changes in government policies or general economic conditions.
We plan to continue to expand our business, and upgrade, update, renovate our services. However, the execution of our expansion plan
is subject to uncertainty and our business may not grow at the rate we expect for the reasons stated above. If our growth rates decline,
investors’ perceptions of our business and prospects may be adversely affected and the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares
could decline.
Our
utilization of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies may expose us to operational, legal, and financial risks that
could materially impact our business operations and financial results.
We
incorporate AI and machine learning technologies, including third-party solutions such as Adobe 3D Studio Max, into our service offerings
and operational processes. Our continued growth and competitive position depend in part on our ability to effectively utilize and integrate
these technologies. We utilize third-party AI platforms and tools to deliver our services, and any interruption, degradation, termination
or price increases in these services could significantly disrupt our operations. While alternative solutions exist in the market, migrating
to such systems could require material time and resources and may not be free from transitional risks.
The
use of AI systems introduces risks relating to accuracy, consistency, and appropriateness of outputs. Inaccurate, biased, or otherwise
unsuitable results may adversely affect client satisfaction, lead to reputational harm, or give rise to contractual or legal claims.
As AI technologies are integrated more deeply into our service delivery, the potential consequences of system errors or misjudgments
may increase.
35
Furthermore,
our use of AI technologies involves processing large amounts of data, including client information. Any security breaches or privacy
incidents related to our AI systems could result in reputational damage, legal liability, and loss of client trust. As we continue to
expand our use of AI technologies, we may become increasingly susceptible to these risks. Rapid changes in AI technology may also require
us to make significant investments to maintain and upgrade our technological capabilities, and we may be unsuccessful in implementing
these developments in a timely or cost-effective manner. As part of our growth strategy, we continuously monitor developments in architectural
design and visualization technologies, and may explore potential collaborations or partnerships with various technology providers to
enhance our service offerings in Asian markets. Our flagship compliance automation platform is advancing toward deployment. However,
there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop such platform according to our schedule, or at all, or if developed, that such
platform will sufficiently meet our business needs.
If
there is any disruption in our operations due to any interruption, degradation, termination or price increases in the AI services, or
new laws or regulation governing AI or if we are not successful in implementing developments in AI technologies, our results of operations
and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
Risks
Related to Our Co-Development Agreement for the OFA QikBIM System
We
face risks related to our Co-Development Agreement for the OFA QikBIM system, including development uncertainty, significant financial
commitments, and limited control over core intellectual property. We have committed to pay approximately $15.0 million to a third-party
contractor for the development of an AI-powered architectural design platform, a substantial portion of which has already been paid.
If the contractor fails to deliver satisfactory results, experiences delays, or the agreement is terminated, we may not recover our investment
and could incur additional costs.
We
do not own the core intellectual property of the system and instead rely on a license arrangement, which, although perpetual and royalty-free,
is subject to limitations, including a time-bound exclusivity period. Following the expiration of exclusivity, the contractor may commercialize
similar technology, which could adversely affect our competitive position. In addition, any defects, non-compliance, or third-party intellectual
property claims could result in legal or financial exposure.
While
the project is advancing as planned with promising early results, there can be no assurance that future phases will be successfully completed
or that the system will achieve its intended commercial objectives. The project is being developed with the intention of creating a subscription-based
service following an initial trial period. The system is being designed for use by architects and designers, with potential future inclusion
of building authorities. While we believe this tool could enhance efficiency in the architectural review process, the development is
in its early stages and there can be no assurance that the tool will be successfully developed or implemented as planned.
Risks
Related to the Valuation of Noncash Consideration Received in the Form of PPDF
We
face risks associated with the valuation and liquidity of noncash consideration received in the form of PPDF. As of March 31, 2026, the
P token had limited trading history, was not traded in an active market, and was subject to significant liquidity restrictions. As a
result, we determined that the fair value of such noncash consideration was not reliably measurable.
The
absence of a readily determinable fair value introduces uncertainty in our financial statements and may result in future volatility as
additional information becomes available or as market conditions evolve. If a reliable market for the P token develops, the value of
such tokens could fluctuate significantly, which may result in material gains or losses in future periods. Additionally, the limited
liquidity of the P token may restrict our ability to monetize or otherwise utilize these assets in a timely manner, which could adversely
affect our financial condition and results of operations.
36
We
may encounter difficulties expanding into new businesses or industries, which may affect adversely our results of operations and financial
condition.
We
may pursue expansion into new businesses, industries, or service areas in which we have limited or no operating experience. These efforts
may expose us to a range of risks, including unfamiliar regulatory requirements, unproven demand, operational inefficiencies, and execution
challenges.
There
is no assurance that such expansion initiatives will be successful or that they will generate revenue or profitability sufficient to
offset related investments and expenses. Any such new business or industry entry may require significant capital outlays, research and
development resources, and diversion of management time and attention. If these initiatives do not proceed as planned or fail to achieve
commercial viability, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We
may be subject to legal or other proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. If the outcome of these proceedings are adverse
to us, they could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we are
subject to government regulations. If we fail to comply with the relevant requirements and obligations, our ability to conduct our business
and our brand which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
During
the ordinary course of our business operations, we may be involved in legal disputes or regulatory and other proceedings relating to,
including but not limited to, contractual disputes, product liability claims and employees’ claims. Especially, for contractual
disputes, we cannot assure you that the venue and governing law agreed in relevant contracts are always favorable to us. Any such legal
disputes or proceedings may subject us to substantial liabilities and may have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, business,
financial condition and results of operations. Among those proceedings, some of them may be relating to our products or services or complaints
from third parties.
If
we become involved in material or protracted legal proceedings or other legal disputes in the future, we may incur substantial legal
expenses and our management may need to devote significant time and attention to handle such proceedings and disputes, thereby diverting
their attention from our business operations. In addition, the outcome of such proceedings or disputes may be uncertain and could result
in settlement or outcomes which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Certain
of our business activities in Hong Kong are subject to government regulation. For example, our registered architect is bound by statutory
obligations including those set out under the Architects Registration Ordinance (Cap. 408 of the Laws of Hong Kong) which provide for
the registration of architects (including, inter alia, requirements concerning their prerequisite qualifications, professional
experience and fit and properness etc.) and disciplinary control of professional activities of registered architects. The continued registration
of our registered architect is also subject to his continued compliance with relevant code of professional conduct and rules prescribed
by relevant professional bodies. The failure of our operating subsidiary in Hong Kong to comply with relevant requirements and obligations
may impair our ability to conduct our business and could harm our brand, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
Continuing
inflation, rising or continued high interest rates, and/or construction costs could reduce the demand for our services as well as decrease
our profit on our existing contracts, in particular with respect to our fixed-price contracts.
Rising
inflation, interest rates, and/or construction costs could reduce the demand for our services. The rising costs of materials, particularly
for essential construction inputs such as steel and concrete, have introduced challenges for fixed-price contracts. Furthermore, the
rise in wages and subcontractor rates has resulted in a general increase in project costs, which could potentially impact demand and
negatively affect overall revenues. In addition, we bear all of the risk of high inflation with respect to those contracts that are fixed-price.
Because a significant portion of our revenues are earned from cost-reimbursable type contracts (approximately 90% during fiscal
years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025), the effects of inflation on our financial condition and results of operations over the past few
years have been material. We may continue to experience inflationary pressures, inflation may have a larger impact on our results of
operations in the future, particularly if we expand our business into markets and geographic areas where fixed-price and lump-sum work
is more prevalent. Therefore, continued inflation, rising or continued high interest rates and/or construction costs could have a material
adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To address these challenges, we have implemented several
measures, including incorporating price adjustment clauses in contracts where possible, bulk purchasing to lock in costs for key materials,
and optimizing resource allocation to improve operational efficiency. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in implementing
these measures or that the measures will effectively lower the inflationary pressures, in which event our business, financial condition
and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
37
Project
sites are inherently dangerous workplaces. Failure to maintain safe work sites by us, the owner or others working at the project site
can lead to our employees, contractors or others becoming injured, disabled or even losing their lives, and exposes us to significant
financial losses and reputational harm, as well as civil and criminal liabilities.
Project
sites often put our employees, contractors and others in close proximity with large pieces of mechanized equipment, moving vehicles,
chemical and manufacturing processes and hazardous and highly regulated materials, in a challenging environment and often in geographically
remote locations. We may be responsible for safety on some project sites, and, accordingly, we have an obligation to implement effective
safety procedures. The failure by us or others working at such sites to implement safety procedures or the implementation of ineffective
procedures, or the failure to implement and follow appropriate safety procedures, subjects our employees, contractors and others to the
risk of injury, disability or loss of life, and subjects us to risk that the completion or commencement of our projects may be delayed
and we may be exposed to litigation or investigations. Unsafe work sites also have the potential to increase employee turnover, increase
the cost of a project to our clients and raise our operating and insurance costs. If we fail to maintain adequate safety standards, we
could suffer harm to our reputation, reduced profitability or the loss of projects or clients, which could have a material adverse impact
on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
The
nature of our contracts, particularly any fixed-price contracts, subjects us to risks of cost overruns. We may experience reduced profits
or losses if costs increase above budgets or estimates or the project experiences delays.
For
fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 100% of our revenues were earned under fixed-price contracts. Both fixed-price and many cost-reimbursable
contracts require us to estimate the total cost of the project in advance of our performance. For fixed-price contracts, we may benefit
from any cost-savings, but we bear greater risk of paying some, if not all, of any cost overruns. Fixed-price contracts are established
in part on proposed designs, which may be partial or incomplete, cost and scheduling estimates that are based on a number of assumptions,
including those about future economic conditions, commodity and other materials pricing and cost and availability of labor (including
the cost of any related benefits or entitlements), equipment and materials and other exigencies. Cost overruns can occur, leading to
reduced profits or, in some cases, a loss for that project for a variety of reasons, including if the design or the estimates prove inaccurate
or if circumstances change due to, among other things, unanticipated technical problems, difficulties in obtaining permits or approvals,
changes in local laws or labor conditions, weather or other delays beyond our control, changes in the costs of equipment or raw materials,
our vendors’ or subcontractors’ inability or failure to perform, or changes in general economic conditions and inflationary
pressures. We may present change orders and claims to our clients, subcontractors and vendors for, among other things, additional costs
exceeding the original contract price. If we fail to properly document the nature of our claims and change orders or are otherwise unsuccessful
in negotiating reasonable settlements with our clients, subcontractors and vendors, we will likely incur cost overruns, reduced profits
or, in some cases, result in a loss for a project. These risks are exacerbated for projects with long-term durations because there is
an increased risk that the circumstances on which we based our original estimates will change in a manner that increases costs. The occurrence
of significant costs overruns could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our
failure to meet performance requirements or contractual schedules could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results
of operations.
Many
of our contracts require us to satisfy specific progress or performance milestones in order to receive payment from the customer. As
a result, we often incur significant costs for engineering, materials, components, equipment, labor or subcontractors prior to receipt
of payment from a customer, which may impact our liquidity. In some circumstances, we may incur penalties if we do not achieve project
completion by a scheduled date. In some cases, the occurrence of delays may be due to factors outside of our control, such as due to
supply chain shortages.
38
Our
contracts that are fundamentally cost reimbursable in nature may also present a risk to the extent the final cost on a project exceeds
the amount the customer expected or budgeted. Like fixed-price contracts, the expected cost of cost-reimbursable projects is based in
part on partial design and our estimates of the resources and time necessary to perform such contracts. A portion of the fee is often
linked to these estimates and the related final cost and schedule objectives, and if for whatever reason these objectives are not met,
the project may be less profitable than we expect or even result in losses.
The
contracts in our backlog may be adjusted, canceled or suspended by our clients and, therefore, our backlog is not necessarily indicative
of our future revenues or earnings.
Backlog
represents estimates of the total dollar amount of revenues we expect to record in the future as a result of performing work under contracts
that have been awarded to us. As of the end of fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our backlog totaled approximately $548,692 and
$491,279, respectively. There is no assurance that backlog will actually be realized as revenues in the amounts reported or, if realized,
will result in profits. In accordance with industry practice, substantially all of our contracts are subject to cancellation, termination,
or suspension at the discretion of the client, and may be subject to changes in the scope of services to be provided, as well as adjustments
to the costs relating to the contracts. In the event of a project cancellation, we would generally have no contractual right to the total
revenue reflected in our backlog. Projects can remain in backlog for extended periods of time because of the nature of the project and
the timing of the particular services required by the project. The risk of contracts in backlog being canceled or suspended generally
increases during periods of widespread economic slowdowns or in response to changes in commodity prices.
Our
business and operating results could be adversely affected by losses under fixed-price contracts.
Fixed-price
contracts require us to either perform all work under the contract for a specified lump-sum or to perform an estimated number of units
of work at an agreed price per unit, with the total payment determined by the actual number of units performed. In fiscal years ended
March 31, 2026 and 2025, approximately $716,885 and $202,007, representing 100% of our revenue, respectively, was recognized under fixed-price
contracts. Fixed-price contracts expose us to a number of risks not inherent in cost-plus and time and material contracts, including
underestimation of costs, ambiguities in specifications, unforeseen costs or difficulties, problems with new technologies, delays beyond
our control, failures of subcontractors to perform and economic or other changes that may occur during the contract period. Losses under
fixed-price construction contracts could be substantial and harm our results of operations.
Our
services expose us to significant risks of liability and our insurance policies may not provide adequate coverage.
Our
services involve significant risks of professional and other liabilities that may substantially exceed the fees that we derive from our
services. We maintain an office insurance that covers our office contents, business interruption, money, employees’ compensation
and public liability. We do not carry professional liability policies. Even if we purchase these kinds of insurance, the insurance may
not fully protect the Company from the financial impact of defending against professional liability claims. Our management has determined
that the costs of insuring for related risks and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable
terms make it impractical. Uninsured claims, if successful and of significant magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
In
conducting our business, we depend on other contractors and subcontractors. If these parties fail to satisfy their obligations to us
or other parties, or if we are unable to maintain these relationships, our revenue, profitability and growth prospects could be adversely
affected.
We
depend on contractors and subcontractors in conducting our business. There is a risk that we may have disputes with our subcontractors
arising from, among other things, the quality and timeliness of work performed by the subcontractor, customer concerns about the subcontractor,
or our failure to extend existing task orders or issue new task orders under a subcontract. In addition, if any of our subcontractors
fail to deliver on a timely basis the agreed-upon supplies and/or perform the agreed-upon services, our ability to fulfill our obligations
as a prime contractor may be jeopardized.
39
We
also rely on relationships with other contractors when we act as their subcontractor or joint venture partner. Our future revenue and
growth prospects could be adversely affected if other contractors eliminate or reduce their subcontracts or joint venture relationships
with us, or if a government agency terminates or reduces these other contractors’ programs, does not award them new contracts or
refuses to pay under a contract.
We
depend on a few major customers with which we do not enter into long-term contracts, the loss of any of which could cause a significant
decline in our revenues.
Two
major customers, each accounting for more than 10% of our total revenue individually, contributed to an aggregate of approximately 94.72%
of our revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.Two major customers, each accounting for more than 10% of our total revenue individually,
contributed to an aggregate of approximately 36.36% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Set out below is a list
of customers that individually account for more than 10% of our total revenue during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

We
do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers but enter contracts based upon projects and therefore cannot be certain that
services to our customers, including our major customers, will continue, because a customer (i) may not require interior design or fit-out
services at all; (ii) may not have the budget for conducting interior design or fit-out work; (iii) may require interior design or fit-out
services but choose to engage another contractor instead of us; or (iv) any other reasons. The loss of any of our major customers, or
a significant reduction in sales to any such customers, would adversely affect our profitability.
Our
ability to maintain close and satisfactory relationships with our customers is important to the ongoing success and profitability of
our business. Our ability to attract potential customers is also critical to the success of our business. If any of our significant customers
delays or cancels its contracts for any reason, or the financial condition of our key customers deteriorates, our business could be seriously
harmed. Similarly, a failure to provide services to meet the demands of these customers may cause us to lose customers, which may affect
adversely the profitability of our business as a result. Furthermore, if we experience difficulties in the collection of our accounts
receivables from our major customers, our results of operation may be materially and adversely affected.
Systems
and information technology interruption could adversely impact our operations and financial results.
We
rely heavily on computer, information and communications technology and related systems in order to properly operate. From time to time,
we experience occasional system interruptions and delays. If we are unable to continually add software and hardware, effectively upgrade
our systems and network infrastructure and take other steps to improve the efficiency of and protect our systems, systems operation could
be interrupted or delayed. In addition, our computer and communications systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by natural
disasters, telecommunications failures, acts of war or terrorism, computer viruses, physical or electronic security breaches and similar
events or disruptions. Any of these or other events could cause system interruption, delays and loss of critical data, could delay or
prevent operations, and could adversely affect our operating results.
40
Cybersecurity
or privacy breaches, or systems and information technology interruption or failure could adversely impact our ability to operate or expose
us to significant financial losses and reputational harm.
We
are subject to certain risks related to interruptions, errors and delays in our information technology systems. In the event we are unable
to maintain or improve the efficiency and efficacy of our systems, the operation of such systems could result in the material loss, corruption,
or release of data. In addition, our computer and communication systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by natural disasters,
force majeure events, telecommunications failures, power loss, acts of war or terrorism, computer viruses, malicious code, physical or
electronic security breaches, intentional or inadvertent user misuse or error or similar events or disruptions. Any of these or other
events could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, protection of intellectual property and results of
operations, as well as those of our clients.
Our
information technology systems may experience threats, including unauthorized access, computer hackers, computer viruses, malicious code,
ransomware, phishing, organized cyber-attacks and other security problems and system disruptions, including unauthorized access to and
disclosure of our and our clients’ proprietary or classified information. Such tactics may seek to cause in the future, payments
due to or from the Company to be misdirected to fraudulent accounts, which may not be recoverable by the Company.
While
we have security measures and technology in place designed to protect our and our clients’ proprietary or classified information,
there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent all threats to our computer systems. In addition, the rapid evolution and increased
adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may intensify our cybersecurity risks. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized
access or sabotage systems change frequently, become more sophisticated and generally are not identified until they are launched against
a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. As a result, we may be required
to expend significant resources to protect against the threat of system disruptions and security breaches or to alleviate problems caused
by these disruptions and breaches. Any of these events could damage our reputation, cause us to incur significant liability and have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We
continuously evaluate the need to upgrade and/or replace our systems and network infrastructure to protect our computing environment,
to stay current on vendor supported products and to improve the efficiency of our systems and for other business reasons, including due
to the rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and especially as we continue
to operate under a hybrid working model under which employees can work and access the Company’s technology infrastructure remotely.
The implementation of new systems and information technology could adversely impact our operations by imposing substantial capital expenditures,
demands on management time and risks of delays or difficulties in transitioning to new systems. In addition, our systems implementations
may not result in productivity improvements at the levels anticipated. Systems implementation disruption and any other information technology
disruption, if not anticipated and appropriately mitigated, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We
may need additional capital but may not be able to obtain it on favorable terms or at all.
We
may require additional cash resources due to future growth and development of our business, 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 issue additional equity
or debt securities or obtain new or expanded credit facilities. Our ability to obtain external financing in the future is subject to
a variety of uncertainties, including our future financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, share price performance, liquidity
of international capital and lending markets and governmental regulations. In addition, incurring indebtedness would subject us to increased
debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. There can be no assurance
that financing will be available in a timely manner or in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Any failure to raise needed
funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could severely restrict our liquidity as well as have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, any issuance of equity or equity-linked securities could result in significant
dilution to our existing shareholders.
41
We
have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we do not adequately remediate the material
weaknesses, or if we experience additional material weakness in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal controls,
we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, or comply with the accounting and
reporting requirements applicable to public companies, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and the market price of our
Class A Ordinary Shares.
To
implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management
on our internal control over financial reporting. Prior to our IPO, we were a private company with limited accounting personnel and other
resources for addressing our internal control over financial reporting. Our management has not completed an assessment of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting and our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of
our internal control over financial reporting. However, in connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of
March 31, 2026, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified two material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting in accordance with the standards established by the PCAOB. The material weaknesses identified related to: (1) inadequate
segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (2) lack of well-established procedures to identify approve and report
related party transactions.
Since
that time, the Company has implemented several measures to remediate the identified material weaknesses. Upon the effectiveness of the
registration statement on Form F-1 for our IPO on May 15, 2025, we established an audit committee comprised entirely of independent directors
and appointed a full-time Chief Financial Officer. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we further enhanced our internal control
environment by: (i) improving segregation of duties within the accounting department through the hiring of additional qualified accounting
and administrative personnel; (ii) implementing formal written policies and procedures for the identification, approval, and reporting
of related party transactions; (iii) establishing a majority-independent board of directors with enhanced oversight responsibilities;
and (iv) adopting a comprehensive internal controls framework aligned with the COSO 2013 Integrated Framework. These efforts have significantly
strengthened our internal control over financial reporting.
In addition, during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Company adopted
and implemented written policies and checklists to address the material weakness related to the lack of well-established procedures to
identify, approve, and report related party transactions. Management has also hired additional personnel with the technical expertise
and knowledge necessary to ensure proper segregation of duties and provide additional checks and balances within the accounting department.
These additional personnel also provide the cross-training needed to support continuity in the event of personnel turnover. The Company
also appointed a full-time CFO. While these measures have meaningfully strengthened the Company’s internal control environment, based
on the material weakness described above and the audit adjustments identified by the Company’s external auditor during the audit of the
financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2026, the material weakness had not been fully remediated as of March 31,
2026. Management is committed to completing the remediation of this material weakness and will continue to implement, monitor, and enhance
the Company’s internal controls on an ongoing basis
Risks
Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong
A
downturn in the Hong Kong or global economy, or a change in economic, social and/or political conditions in Hong Kong, could materially
and adversely affect our Hong Kong operating subsidiary’s business and financial condition.
Our
operations are based in Hong Kong and conducted through our Hong Kong operating subsidiary. As such, our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations may be influenced and affected by political, economic, social and legal developments in Hong Kong.
Any adverse economic, social and/or political conditions, material social unrest, strike, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, significant
outbreak, exacerbation, continuance or reoccurrence of epidemics and disease (including but not limited to viral atypical pneumonia)
and other natural disasters, any material adverse change in market conditions, taxation or exchange control or a combination of circumstances
in Hong Kong, or may adversely affect our business operations. Additionally, a lack of customer confidence or negative perception in
the economic outlook of Hong Kong due to the foregoing circumstances or otherwise could materially and adversely affect our business;
in particular where customers are reluctant to invest in developing or renovating their business premises and/or are pessimistic concerning
the real estate or property market in general.
42
Hong
Kong is widely considered to be connector and gateway between the East and the West, in particular from the perspectives of onshore and
offshore investments to and from mainland China, and despite the high level of autonomy that Hong Kong enjoys under the principle of
“one country, two systems” that is enshrined by the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s
Republic of China (the “Basic Law”), its economic growth and prospects are, to a material extent, influenced by the state
and outlook of the economy in mainland China, as (i) mainland China remains the largest trading partner of Hong Kong; (ii) many Hong
Kong businesses are materially reliant on demand from mainland China; and (iii) Hong Kong’s significant role in the Greater Bay
Area (GBA) initiative (that aims to integrate Hong Kong, Macau and nine cities in the Guangdong province of the mainland China into a
cohesive economic and business hub) from the perspectives of economic integration, infrastructure and connectivity, innovation and technology
and human capital. As such, any material adverse impact on economic, social and/or political conditions in mainland China, such as any
deceleration of economic growth or instability of key sectors (such as the property market), may have an adverse implication to businesses,
including our business, that are reliant, to an extent, on the condition of the Chinese economy.
As
a major international financial center in the world, the economic conditions in Hong Kong may be affected by global economic conditions.
Any prolonged slowdown in the global or Chinese economy may affect our current customers’ and potential customers’ businesses,
and may have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, continued turbulence in
the international markets may adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs.
The
majority of our operations are in Hong Kong. However, due to the long arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, the
Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence
our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
The enforcement of laws and rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice. The Chinese government may
intervene or influence our operating subsidiary’s operations at any time, or may exert more control over securities offerings conducted
overseas and/or foreign investment in Hong Kong-based issuers, which could result in a material change in our operating subsidiary’s
operations, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, and cause the
value of the Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless.
The
majority of our operations are located in Hong Kong. As of the date of this report, we do not expect to be materially affected by statements
by the PRC government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over securities offerings that are conducted overseas
and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers. However, due to long arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, there
remains regulatory uncertainty with respect to the implementation and interpretation of laws in China. The PRC government may choose
to exercise significant oversight and discretion, and the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the Chinese government
to which we are subject may change rapidly and with little advance notice to us or our shareholders. As a result, the application, interpretation,
and enforcement of new and existing laws and regulations in the PRC are often uncertain. In addition, these laws and regulations may
be interpreted and applied inconsistently by different agencies or authorities, and may be inconsistent with our current policies and
practices. New laws, regulations, and other government directives in the PRC may also be costly to comply with, and such compliance or
any associated inquiries or investigations or any other government actions may:
●
delay
or impede our development;
●
result
in negative publicity or increase our operating costs;
●
require
significant management time and attention; and/or
●
subject
us to remedies, administrative penalties and even criminal liabilities that may harm our business, including fines assessed for our
current or historical operations, or demands or orders that we modify or even cease our business practices.
43
The
PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in China with
little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based
companies listed overseas using a VIE structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the
efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. These regulatory actions and statements emphasize the need to strengthen the administration over
illegal securities activities and the supervision of China-based companies seeking overseas listings. Additionally, companies are required
to undergo a cybersecurity review if they hold large amounts of data related to issues of national security, economic development or
public interest before carrying our mergers, restructuring or splits that affect or may affect national security. These statements were
recently issued and their official guidance and interpretation remain unclear at this time. While we believe that our Hong Kong operating
subsidiary’s operations are not currently being affected, they may be subject to additional and stricter compliance requirements
in the near term. Compliance with new regulatory requirements or any future implementation rules may present a range of new challenges
which may create uncertainties and increase our Hong Kong operating subsidiary’s cost of operations.
The
Chinese government may intervene or influence our Hong Kong operating subsidiary’s operations at any time and may exert more control
over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, which may result in a material change in our Hong Kong
operating subsidiary’s operations and/or the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Any legal or regulatory changes that restrict
or otherwise unfavorably impact our Hong Kong operating subsidiary’s ability to conduct their business could decrease demand for
their services, reduce revenues, increase costs, require them to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject
them to additional liabilities. To the extent any new or more stringent measures are implemented, our business, financial condition and
results of operations could be adversely affected, and the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares could decrease or become worthless.
Our
Hong Kong operating subsidiary may be subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict
its ability to satisfy liquidity requirements, conduct business and pay dividends to holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
We
are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with our operating subsidiary located in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our cash is
maintained in Hong Kong dollars. We conduct no other business and, as a result, we depend entirely upon our Hong Kong operating subsidiary’s
earnings and cash flow. As a holding company, our ability to pay dividends, should we decide to do so, and meet other obligations depends
upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our operating subsidiary. There are currently no restrictions of transferring funds
between our Cayman Islands holding company and our operating subsidiary in Hong Kong or limitations on the ability of our Hong Kong subsidiary
to issue dividends or other distributions to its overseas shareholders. However, we cannot assure you that the oversight of the PRC government
will not be extended to companies operating in Hong Kong, like our Hong Kong operating subsidiary. There is a possibility that the PRC
government could prevent our cash maintained in Hong Kong from leaving or the PRC could restrict the deployment of the cash into our
business or for the payment of dividends. Any such controls or restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance our cash requirements,
service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders and could result in a material adverse change to our business
operations, our prospects, financial condition, and results of operations, and could cause our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly
decline in value or become worthless.
We
may be negatively affected by adverse political or geopolitical developments that affects the conducting of business in Hong Kong.
Hong
Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law,
Hong Kong’s constitutional document, which provides Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent
judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of “one country, two systems.” However, there is
no assurance that such high degree of autonomy may not change in the future, in particular, there remains a certain degree of uncertainty
as to whether the “one country, two systems” framework will be extended beyond 2047 despite such extension having been mentioned
by various senior government officials. Since our operation is based in Hong Kong, our business may be affected by developments concerning
the how the domestic affairs in this special administrative region may be governed in the future, which may consequentially have implications
on the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong affecting us.
44
Under
the Basic Law, Hong Kong is exclusively in charge of its internal affairs and external relations, while the government of the PRC is
responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. As a separate customs territory, Hong Kong maintains and develops relations with foreign
states and regions. Due to certain developments in Hong Kong, including enactment of the Law of the People’s Republic of China
on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region issued by the Standing Committee of the PRC National
People’s Congress in June 2020, the U.S. State Department has indicated that the United States no longer considers Hong Kong to
have significant autonomy from China and at the time President Trump signed an executive order and Hong Kong Autonomy Act, to remove
Hong Kong’s preferential trade status and to authorize the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals
and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. Whilst (i) we do not carry
out any trading activities; (ii) none of our business or affiliated entities are subject to any sanctions at present; and (iii) we do
not engage in any political or related activities in the course of our business or otherwise, there remain uncertainties as to how and
the extent of which an escalation of political and trade tensions between U.S., China and Hong Kong, may potentially affect or harm our
business, results of operations and financial condition as well as those of our customers. Furthermore, legislative or administrative
actions in respect of China-U.S. relations could cause investor uncertainty for issuers which may be perceived to be affected, and the
market price of our Shares could be adversely affected if such perception is formed in connection with our company or its business.
Changes
in international trade policies, trade disputes, barriers to trade or the emergence of a trade war may dampen growth in markets where
the majority of our customers reside.
Political
events, international trade disputes and other business interruptions could harm or disrupt international commerce and the global economy,
and could have a material adverse effect on our business and that of our customers, service providers and their other partners. International
trade disputes could result in tariffs and other protectionist measures, which may materially and adversely affect businesses.
Political
uncertainty, such as the recent invasion by Russia in Ukraine, and surrounding international trade disputes and their potential of escalation
to trade wars and global recession, could have a negative effect on customer confidence on the economy and/or future prospects, which
could materially and adversely affect our business; in particular where customers are reluctant to invest in developing or renovating
their business premises and/or are pessimistic concerning the property market in general. In such instances, we may have access to fewer
business opportunities, and our operations may be negatively impacted as a result. In addition, the current and future actions or escalations
by either the United States or China, including those sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries on Russia, and that
affect trade relations may possibly cause global economic turmoil and potentially have a negative impact on the financial condition of
our customers. We cannot provide any assurances as to whether such actions will occur or the form that they may take.
The
Company may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our operating subsidiary to fund its cash and financing requirements
it may have, and our operating subsidiary may rely on capital injections or transfers from the Company in relation to the same. Any restrictions,
prohibitions, interventions or limitations on the ability of the Company or our operating subsidiary to transfer cash or assets in or
out of Hong Kong may result in these funds or assets not being available to fund relevant operations or capital requirements which may
have a material and adverse effect on our business.
Within
our structure, funds from foreign investors can be directly transferred to our operating subsidiary by way of capital injection or in
the form of a shareholder loan from the Company. As a holding company, we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid
by our operating subsidiary for our cash and financing requirements. We are permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands and our memorandum
and articles of association (as amended from time to time) to provide funding to our operating subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong through
loans and/or capital contributions. Our operating subsidiary is permitted under the laws of Hong Kong (which maintains a policy of free
capital movement with no foreign exchange controls) to issue cash dividends to us without limitation on the size of such dividends; however,
to the extent that cash is in our operating subsidiary, there is a possibility that the funds may not be available to fund our operations
or for other uses outside of Hong Kong due to any interventions or the imposition of restrictions and limitations by the PRC government
on the ability of our operating subsidiary to transfer cash.
45
In
addition, (i) if our operating subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf, the instruments governing such debt may restrict its ability
to pay dividends; and (ii) the ability to transfer funds and capital may be subject to, inter alia, compliance with applicable
anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing obligations, sanctions law and other requirements, the interpretation, implementation
and enforcement of which may be complicated by geopolitical tensions and exposures of financial intermediaries involved. Any restrictions,
prohibitions, interventions or limitations on the ability of the Company or our operating subsidiary to transfer cash or assets may result
in these funds or assets not being available to fund relevant operations or capital requirements, which may materially and adversely
limit the ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to the businesses, pay dividends or otherwise fund
and conduct our business.
Fluctuations
in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses to us and could impact our gross profit and gross margin.
Our
reporting currency is US$, and all of our operating activities are transacted in HKD. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange
risk as our revenues and results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between US$ and HKD. If the HKD depreciates
against US$, the value of our HKD revenues, earnings and assets as expressed in our US$ financial statements will decline. We have not
entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk.
If
the pegging system collapses and the value of the Hong Kong dollars against the US dollar is affected, our sales in the US or other US
currency based regions may be affected.
Since
1983, Hong Kong dollars have been pegged to the US dollars at the rate of approximately HK$7.80 to US$1.00. There is no assurance that
this policy will not be changed in the near future. If the pegging system collapses and the value of the Hong Kong dollars against the
US dollar is affected, our sales in the US or other US currency based regions may be affected.
The
costs of doing business in Hong Kong is high as compared to its surrounding regions.
The
costs of doing business in Hong Kong is high as compared to its surrounding regions. We rent our office spaces in Hong Kong. The majority
of our workforce is also based in Hong Kong. In view of the high rental price and high labor cost in Hong Kong, our Group needs to exercise
careful control over our expenditures in these areas. Should we fail to control our costs, the financial performance of us may be adversely
affected.
The
PCAOB determinations provides that if the PCAOB board is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms
headquartered in China or Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in China
or Hong Kong it could result in the prohibition of trading in our securities by not being allowed to list on a U.S. exchange, and as
a result an exchange may determine to delist our securities, which would materially affect the interest of our investors.
The
HFCA Act, which was enacted on December 18, 2020, states that 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 HFCA Act. 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 HFCA
Act, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above.
On
June 22, 2021, the Senate passed the AHFCAA which, if signed into law, would reduce the time period for the delisting of foreign companies
under the HFCA Act to two consecutive years instead of three years. In the event the HFCA Act is amended to prohibit an issuer’s
securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchange and our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead
of three, it will reduce the time before our Class A Ordinary Shares may be prohibited from trading or delisted from an exchange if our
auditor is not subject to inspection by the PCAOB.
46
On
November 5, 2021, the SEC approved the PCAOB’s Rule 6100, Board Determinations Under the HFCA Act, Rule 6100 provides a framework
for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCA Act, 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 HFCA Act.
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 the 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 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, because
of a position taken by one or more authorities in the PRC or Hong Kong. The PCAOB determinations provide that if the PCAOB is unable
to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in China or Hong Kong, a Special Administrative
Region, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in China or Hong Kong, it could result in the prohibition of trading in
our securities by not being allowed to list on a U.S. exchange, and as a result an exchange may determine to delist our securities, which
would materially affect the interest of our investors.
On
August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (the “MOF”), and the PCAOB signed the Protocol to allow the
PCAOB to inspect and investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong, consistent
with the HFCA Act, and the PCAOB will be required to reassess its determinations by the end of 2022. Pursuant to the fact sheet with
respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection
or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC.
On
December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered
public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary.
However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will
consider the need to issue a new determination.
On
December 29, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by decreasing the
number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before our Class A Ordinary Shares may be prohibited
from trading or delisted. As a result, trading in our securities may be prohibited under the HFCA Act, as amended by the Accelerating
Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and related regulations if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely
our auditor for a period of two consecutive years, and that as a result an exchange may determine to delist our securities.
Our
auditor, M&K CPAS LLC, the independent registered public accounting firm that issued the audit report included in this report, is
registered with the PCAOB and subject to inspections by the PCAOB on a regular basis with the last inspection in November 2024. M&K
CPAS LLC’s office is located in The Woodlands, Texas. If we change auditors and they are subsequently located in China or Hong
Kong and the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor, it could result in the prohibition of trading in our securities
by not being allowed to list on a U.S. exchange, and as a result an exchange may determine to delist our securities, which would materially
affect the interest of our investors.
47
We
may become subject to a variety of PRC laws and other regulations regarding data security or securities offerings that are conducted
overseas and/or other foreign investment in China-based issuers, and any failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could
have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and may hinder our ability to offer
or continue to offer Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline
or be worthless.
On
June 10, 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress enacted the PRC Data Security Law, which took effect on
September 1, 2021. The law requires data collection to be conducted in a legitimate and proper manner, and stipulates that, for the purpose
of data protection, data processing activities must be conducted based on data classification and hierarchical protection system for
data security.
On
July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly
issued a document to crack down on certain activities in the securities markets and promote the high-quality development of the capital
markets, which, among other things, requires the relevant governmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law-enforcement
and judicial cooperation, to enhance supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, and to establish and improve the system
of extraterritorial application of the PRC securities laws.
On
August 20, 2021, the 30 th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13 th National People’s Congress voted
and passed the “Personal Information Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China”, or “PRC Personal Information
Protection Law”, which became effective on November 1, 2021. The PRC Personal Information Protection Law applies to the processing
of personal information of natural persons within the territory of China that is carried out outside of China where (1) such processing
is for the purpose of providing products or services for natural persons within China, (2) such processing is to analyze or evaluate
the behavior of natural persons within China, or (3) there are any other circumstances stipulated by related laws and administrative
regulations.
On
December 28, 2021, the CAC jointly with the relevant authorities formally published Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) which took
effect on February 15, 2022 and replace the former Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2020) issued on April 13, 2020. Measures for Cybersecurity
Review (2021) stipulates that operators of critical information infrastructure purchasing network products and services, and online platform
operator (together with the operators of critical information infrastructure, the “Operators”) carrying out data processing
activities that affect or may affect national security, shall conduct a cybersecurity review, any online platform operator who controls
more than one million users’ personal information must go through a cybersecurity review by the cybersecurity review office if
it seeks to be listed in a foreign country.
Our
operating subsidiary, Office for Fine Architecture Limited, may collect and store certain data (including certain personal information)
from our clients, who may be PRC individuals, in connection with our business and operations and for “Know Your Customers”
purposes (to combat money laundering).
In
the opinion of our PRC counsel, Beijing Yingke Law Firm Shenzhen Office, the Company and its operating subsidiary, are currently in compliance
with the PRC Personal Information Protection Law, PRC Data Security Law, and relevant personal information or data requirements of the
CAC, based on the following factors: (i) the Company’s operating subsidiary is incorporated in Hong Kong and operates exclusively
in Hong Kong, without any subsidiary or VIE structure in mainland China; (ii) the Company and its operating subsidiary have, in aggregate,
collected and stored personal information from fewer than one million users; (iii) all data collected by the Company or its operating
subsidiary is stored on servers located in Hong Kong; (iv) neither the Company nor its operating subsidiary provides products or services
to natural persons in mainland China, nor do they analyze or evaluate the behavior of natural persons in mainland China, or conduct data
processing activities in mainland China; (v) the Company and its operating subsidiary have not received any directive from any PRC authority,
nor any complaint from citizens or organizations alleging that the Company or its subsidiary endangers national security, public interests,
or the legal rights and interests of any citizen or organization; and (vi) the Company and its subsidiary have not received any notification
from PRC authorities indicating non-compliance with PRC laws and regulations concerning personal information and data security, nor requiring
the Company or its subsidiary to seek approvals from the CAC or other relevant PRC authorities.
48
However,
these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon the legislative or administrative regulation making
bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or
promulgated, if any. It is also highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the
daily business operations of Office for Fine Architecture Limited, its abilities to accept foreign investments and the listing of our
Class A Ordinary Shares on a U.S. or other foreign exchanges. There remains significant uncertainty in the interpretation and enforcement
of relevant PRC cybersecurity laws and regulations. If the Trial Measures are applicable to our operating subsidiary, if our operating
subsidiary is deemed to be an “Operator” that are required to file for cybersecurity review before listing in the United
States, or if the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021) or the PRC Personal Information Protection Law becomes applicable to our operating
subsidiary, the business operations of our operating subsidiary and the listing of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the United States could
be subject to the CAC’s cybersecurity review or CSRC Overseas Issuance and Listing review in the future. If our operating subsidiary
becomes subject to the CAC or CSRC review, we cannot assure you that our operating subsidiary will be able to comply with the regulatory
requirements in all respects and the current practice of collecting and processing personal information may be ordered to be rectified
or terminated by regulatory authorities. In the event of a failure to comply, our operating subsidiary may become subject to fines and
other penalties which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial condition and may hinder our ability
to offer or continue to offer Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly
decline or be worthless.
PRC
government recently initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations
in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over
China-based companies listed overseas using a VIE structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and
expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.
On
February 17, 2023, with the approval of the State Council, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities
Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines, which became effective on March 31,
2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, (i) domestic companies that seek to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly,
shall complete filing procedures with the CSRC pursuant to the requirements of the Trial Measures within three working days following
their submission of initial public offerings or listing applications. If a domestic company fails to complete the required filing procedures
or conceals any material fact or falsifies any major content in its filing documents, such domestic company may be subject to administrative
penalties, such as an order to rectify, warnings and fines, and its controlling shareholders, actual controllers, the person directly
in charge and other directly liable persons may also be subject to administrative penalties, such as warnings and fines; (ii) if the
issuer meets both of the following criteria, the overseas offering and listing conducted by such issuer shall be deemed an indirect overseas
offering and listing by a PRC domestic company: (A) 50% or more of any of the issuer’s operating revenue, total profit, total assets
or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were derived from PRC domestic
companies; and (B) the majority of the issuer’s business activities are carried out in mainland China, or its main place(s) of
business are located in mainland China, or the majority of its senior management team in charge of its business operations and management
are PRC citizens or have their usual place(s) of residence located in mainland China. In such circumstances, where a PRC domestic company
is seeking an indirect overseas offering and listing in an overseas market, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity
responsible for all filing procedures with the CSRC, and where an issuer makes an application for an initial public offering or listing
in an overseas market, the issuer shall submit filings with the CSRC within three business days after such application is submitted.
Based
on the above mentioned, given that (i) the Company currently does not have, nor do it currently intend to establish, any subsidiary nor
plan to enter into any contractual arrangements to establish a VIE structure with any entity in the PRC; (ii) it is not controlled by
any PRC entity or individual; (iii) it does not have any operation in the PRC, nor does it have any partnership or cooperation with any
PRC entity or individual; (iv) it currently does not have, nor does it plan to have, any investment, such as owning or leasing any asset,
in the PRC; (v) none of the senior managers in charge of the business operations and management are citizens of the PRC or domiciled
in mainland China; and (vi) no revenue of the Company is generated from the PRC, our IPO shall not be deemed as a domestic enterprise
that indirectly offer or list securities on an overseas stock exchange, nor does it requires filing or approvals from the CSRC.
49
Further,
as of the date of this report, in the opinion of the Company’s PRC counsel, Beijing Yingke Law Firm Shenzhen Office, the Company
is not considered a domestic enterprise under the Trial Measures and the Trial Measures do not apply to the Company, and its listing
on Nasdaq does not require fulfilling the filing procedure to the CSRC. However, there can be no assurance that the relevant PRC governmental
authorities, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as us, or that the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities would
not promulgate new rules or new interpretation of current rules (with retrospective effect) to require us to obtain CSRC or other PRC
governmental approvals for our IPO. If we or our subsidiaries inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required, we may be
required to make corrections, be given a warning, be fined between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million, warn the responsible person and
impose a fine of not less than RMB 500,000 but not more than RMB 5 million, fine the controlling shareholder not less than RMB 1 million
but not more than RMB 10 million, prevent the Company from entering the securities market and our ability to offer or continue to offer
our Class A Ordinary Shares to investors could be significantly limited or completed hindered, which could cause the value of our Class
A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless. We may also face sanctions by the CSRC, the CAC or other PRC regulatory
agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our ability to pay dividends outside
of the PRC, limit our operations in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from our IPO into the PRC or take other
actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well
as the trading price of our securities.
If
the Chinese government chooses to exert more oversight and control over securities offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign
investment in China-based issuers, such action may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer
Class A Ordinary Shares to investors and cause the value of our Class A Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or be worthless.
Recent
statements, laws and regulations by the Chinese government, including the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021), the PRC Personal
Information Protection Law and the Trial Measures, have indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over securities offerings
that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investments in China-based issuers. It is uncertain whether the Chinese government will adopt
additional requirements or extend the existing requirements to apply to our operating subsidiary. Any future action by the PRC government
expanding the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securities offerings are subject to review by the CSRC could significantly
limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and could cause the value of such securities
to significantly decline or be worthless. Further, if we were to become subject to PRC laws and/or authorities we could incur material
costs to ensure compliance and experience devaluation of our Class A Ordinary Shares or possibly delisting.
Our
business concerning use of third party AI tools and our future plans concerning the development of proprietary AI tools may be materially
and adversely affected by developments concerning AI regulations in Hong Kong.
At
present, there is no comprehensive AI regulations in Hong Kong. However, AI is recognised by the Hong Kong government as an important
driver of a new round of technological and industrial transformation as well as a key to propelling the development of a digital economy,
and thus various policy bureaux and government departments are devising policies and measures to tackle the diverse challenges associated
with AI’s evolution. To date, guidelines and principles have been issued concerning the responsible use of AI and related consumer
protection in specific sectors, such as banking, securities and insurance, and the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data has issued
various guidelines on the ethical development and use of AI from the perspective of personal data privacy. Recently, the Hong Kong government
has separately completed a consultation (the “Consultation”) concerning a review and proposed enhancement to its existing
copyright regime (including the existing Copyright Ordinance (Cap. 528 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“Copyright Ordinance”))
with a focus on copyright issues arising from AI, especially generative AI.
The
Company integrates AI into various aspects of its architectural design and project management. It has developed its own proprietary AI
tools, including QikBIM, which has been commercially launched and continues to be developed in phases, and PlanAid, which remains under
ongoing development. These AI tools involve computational data analysis, mining and processing as well as the development of AI models,
which may involve the use of third party data which may or may not be subject to copyright protection. Whilst the Consultation has proposed
a new and specific copyright exception in the Copyright Ordinance that would permit the reasonable use of copyright works involved in
computational data analysis and processing activities in the context of AI technology, there is uncertainty as to when and whether such
amendments to the Copyright Ordinance will be implemented, and whether the AI tools used and/or developed by the Company will be compliant
with the amended law (including the applicability of the proposed exception and the conditions for such exception to apply).
50
As
(i) the existing Hong Kong laws and regulations concerning AI are evolving and may be subject to potentially differing interpretations
upon implementation; and (ii) various legislative and regulatory bodies continue to review and issue guidance concerning the use of AI
in different contexts, there remains significant uncertainty as to how our existing use of third party AI tools and/or our future plans
concerning development of proprietary AI tools may be affected. As laws, regulations, statutory and non-statutory guidelines as well
as industry standards concerning the use of AI continue to develop and evolve rapidly, it is possible that our proprietary AI tools,
or third party AI tools used by us, may not be, or may not have been, compliant with applicable laws, regulations, guidelines and industry
standards and non-compliance with such new laws or changes to existing laws may impact our business and practices adversely, require
us to expend significant resources to adapt to these changes, or to stop offering related products or services in Hong Kong. As such,
relevant developments could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, any failure or perceived
failure by us, or any third parties with whom we do business, in complying with applicable laws, regulations, policies, industry standards
or contractual or other legal obligations (including any claims of copyright infringement or violation of intellectual property rights)
relating to our use of AI tools may result in enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties as well as
adverse publicity or potential loss of business, and our financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
Failure
to comply with Hong Kong Competition Law may result in material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We
operate in a competitive industry and a competitive market. We may be subject to a variety of laws and other obligations regarding competition
laws in Hong Kong, and any failure to comply with applicable laws and obligations could have a material and adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. We face competition in the market due to the presence of a number of service providers.
We may be subject to the Competition Ordinance (Chapter 619 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“Competition Ordinance”), which came
into force on December 14, 2015, laying down three forms of behaviours and imposing three rules intended to prevent and discourage anti-competitive
conducts: (i) the first conduct rule prohibits (a) the making of agreements by any entity, regardless of its legal status or the way
in which it is financed, engaged in economic activity, and includes a natural person engaged in economic activity (“Undertakings”);
(b) the engagement in concerted practice by Undertakings; or (c) the making or giving effect of decisions by members of an association
of Undertakings, that have the object or effect of preventing, restricting or distorting competition in Hong Kong; (ii) the second conduct
rule prohibits undertakings with a substantial degree of market power in a market from abusing that power by engaging in conduct that
has the object or effect of preventing, restricting or distorting competition in Hong Kong; and (iii) the merger rule prohibits Undertakings
from directly or indirectly carrying out mergers that have or are likely to have the effect of substantially lessening competition in
Hong Kong. Currently, the merger rule only applies where an Undertaking that directly or indirectly holds or, directly or indirectly
controls an Undertaking that holds a “carrier license” within the meaning of the Telecommunications Ordinance (Chapter 106
of the Laws of Hong Kong) is involved in a merger, and therefore we do not anticipate that the merger rule will be applicable to our
business.
The
Competition Commission is an independent statutory body in Hong Kong established under the Competition Ordinance to investigate any contravention
against the competition rules and enforce the provisions of the Competition Ordinance, and the Competition Tribunal is a superior court
of record set up by the Competition Ordinance, as part of the Hong Kong judiciary, to hear and decide cases relating to competition law
in Hong Kong. Under the guidelines and policies published by the Competition Commission, possible outcomes of the investigation of a
contravention of the Competition Ordinance may include the acceptance by the Competition Commission of a commitment given by the infringer
to take any action or refrain from taking any action, the issuance of a warning notice or infringement notice, the commencement of proceedings
in the Competition Tribunal, the application for a consent order, the referral of the complaint to a government agency and the conduct
of a market study. The Competition Tribunal may order remedies including to impose a pecuniary penalty, make a disqualification order
or other orders under the Competition Ordinance. The guidelines and policies published by the Competition Commission in Hong Kong did
not mention any remedies which may affect an entity’s ability to accept foreign investment or list on a U.S./foreign exchange as
a result of the non-compliance of the Competition Ordinance.
We
confirm that we have not adopted any anti-competitive conduct described in the Competition Ordinance and will continue to act in compliance
with the Competition Ordinance. However, there may be uncertainties on the full effect of the rules in respect of compliance, infringement,
and its effect on our business in particular when tendering is involved in securing contracts. We may face difficulties and may need
to incur legal costs in ensuring our compliance with the rules. If we face any complaints of infringement of the Competition Ordinance,
we may incur substantial legal costs and may result in business disruption and/or negative media coverage, which could adversely affect
our business, results of operations and reputation.
51
Failure
to comply with PDPO may result in material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The
PDPO provides the principles that a person who, either alone, jointly or in common with other persons, controls the collection, holding,
processing or use of personal data (a “Data User”) must follow in any acts concerning information, existing in a form which
access to or processing of is practicable, which relates to a living individual and can be used to identify that individual. Contravention
with the PDPO may entitle the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data to issue a written enforcement notice directing such Data User to
take prescribed steps within a specified timeframe to remedy and prevent recurrence of contravention. Contravention with the above enforcement
notice issued by the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data is an offence and on first conviction, the offender is liable to a maximum
fine of HK$50,000 and imprisonment for 2 years, with a daily penalty of HK$1,000. Subsequent convictions can result in a maximum fine
of HK$100,000 and imprisonment for 2 years, with a daily penalty of HK$2,000. However, if a Data User has taken all due diligence to
comply with the enforcement notice, then such Data User may have a defence against the above offence.
In
the course of our business, we collect data that are related to our business, all with consent from owners of such information. We are
committed to protecting the privacy and security of such data, and have established and implemented policy on data collection, processing
and usage. As such, we confirm that we are in full compliance with the PDPO of Hong Kong. While we strive to comply with applicable data
protection laws and regulations as well as our own privacy policies and other obligations, we may have, with respect to privacy and data
protection, instances of failure or perceived failure to comply with these laws, regulations, policies and other obligations, which may
result, and in some cases has resulted, in customer complaints, and may also result in inquiries and other proceedings or actions against
us by government agencies or others, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation and brand, each of which could cause
us to lose consumers, and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks
Related the Ownership of Class A Ordinary Shares
Investors
who buy Class A Ordinary Shares from our securityholders at different times will likely pay different prices.
Pursuant
to the Atsion Purchase Agreement and PIPE Purchase Agreements, we will have discretion to vary the timing, price and number of shares
sold to Atsion and Preferred Shares sold to the other our securityholders, if any. If and when we elect to sell our Class A Ordinary Shares to Atsion pursuant to the Atsion Purchase Agreement, after Atsion has acquired such Class A Ordinary Shares, and if and when we
elect to sell our Preferred Shares to our securityholders pursuant to the PIPE Purchase Agreement, after our securityholders have acquired
such Preferred Shares and elect to convert them into Class A Ordinary Shares, our securityholders may resell all, some or none of such
shares at any time or from time to time in its sole discretion and at different prices, subject to certain limitations in the purchase
agreements. As a result, investors who purchase shares from our securityholders at different times will likely pay different prices for
those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution and in some cases substantial dilution and different outcomes in their
investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from our securityholders as a result
of future sales made by us to our securityholders at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares. In addition,
if we sell a substantial number of shares to our securityholders under the purchase agreements, or if investors expect that we will do
so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with our securityholders may make it more difficult for us to
sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.
Sales
of a substantial number of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market by our existing securityholders could cause the price of
our ordinary share to fall.
Certain
securityholders may hold approximately 227% of our total Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this report.
The sale or availability for sale of these shares could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our ordinary share and could
impair our ability to raise capital through future sales of our securities.
52
The
trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares is very new, and consistently robust and liquid trading market may not develop or be sustained
over the long term.
We
only recently consummated our IPO in May 2025, and so the trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares is very new and unestablished.
If a consistently robust and liquid trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares does not develop, you may not be able to sell your
shares quickly or at the market price. Our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling our securities and our
ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our securities as consideration may also be impaired.
Nasdaq
may apply additional and more stringent criteria for our continued listing because we plan to have a small public offering and insiders
will hold a large portion of our listed securities.
Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5101 provides Nasdaq with broad discretionary authority over the initial and continued listing of securities in Nasdaq and
Nasdaq may use such discretion to deny initial listing, apply additional or more stringent criteria for the initial or continued listing
of particular securities, or suspend or delist particular securities based on any event, condition, or circumstance that exists or occurs
that makes initial or continued listing of the securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted in the opinion of Nasdaq, even though
the securities meet all enumerated criteria for initial or continued listing on Nasdaq. In addition, Nasdaq has used its discretion to
deny initial or continued listing or to apply additional and more stringent criteria in the instances, including but not limited to:
(i) where the company engaged an auditor that has not been subject to an inspection by PCAOB, an auditor that PCAOB cannot inspect, or
an auditor that has not demonstrated sufficient resources, geographic reach, or experience to adequately perform the company’s
audit; (ii) where the company planned a small public offering, which would result in insiders holding a large portion of the company’s
listed securities. Nasdaq was concerned that the offering size was insufficient to establish the company’s initial valuation, and
there would not be sufficient liquidity to support a public market for the company; and (iii) where the company did not demonstrate sufficient
nexus to the U.S. capital market, including having no U.S. shareholders, operations, or members of the board of directors or management.
If we are unable to maintain the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, our securities could be delisted from Nasdaq, which could
materially and adversely (i) impair the liquidity of our Class A Ordinary Shares, (ii) limit our ability to raise capital and (iii) harm
the value of a shareholder’s investment.
Our
three main shareholders, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Technology Officer, beneficially own an aggregate of 16,982,076
Class A Ordinary Shares and 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares as of the date of this report, representing approximately 98.22% of the
voting power of our outstanding share capital, and will have significant influence over all corporate matters for which shareholder approval
is required.
Our
three main shareholders, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Technology Officer, beneficially holding 16,982,076 Class
A Ordinary Shares and 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares as of the date of this securityholders collectively, are able to exercise approximately
98.22% of the total voting power of our issued and outstanding share capital. They have significant influence on determining the outcome
of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the election
of directors and other significant corporate actions. In cases where their interests are aligned, they will also have the power to prevent
or cause a change in control. Without the consent of these three main shareholders, we may be prevented from entering into transactions
that could be beneficial to us or our minority shareholders. The interests of these three main shareholders may differ from the interests
of our other shareholders. The concentrated voting power owned by the three main shareholders may cause a material decline in the value
of our Class A Ordinary Shares. For more information regarding our beneficial owners and their affiliated entities, see “ Major
Shareholders .” See also “ Risk Factors - Risks Related to the Ownership of Class A Ordinary Shares - We are a “controlled
company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and, as a result, may rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance
requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies. ”
53
The
conversion of our Preferred Shares may result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders, and the number of Class A Ordinary Shares
issuable upon conversion may increase if the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares declines.
The
Preferred Shares are convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares at a conversion price based, in part, on the market price of our Class
A Ordinary Shares, subject to the terms of the Certificate of Designations, including the applicable Floor Price and any adjustments
thereto. The conversion amount may also include accrued and unpaid dividends and other amounts payable with respect to the Preferred
Shares. As a result, if the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares declines, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Shares may increase, subject to the applicable Floor Price, beneficial ownership limitations, exchange cap
limitations, authorized share limitations and other restrictions described in this report.
In
addition, the Floor Price may be reduced on certain reset dates if the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares is below the then-applicable
Floor Price, and the conversion price may also be subject to adjustment under the anti-dilution provisions of the Certificate of Designations.
Any such reduction or adjustment could result in the issuance of additional Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares. The issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, including shares issued as payment of dividends
thereon, will dilute the ownership interests and voting power of existing holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares and may depress the
trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. The availability for resale of the Class A Ordinary Shares, and the market perception that
such resales may occur, could further adversely affect the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and increase the dilutive effect
of future conversions.
The
trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.
The
trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen
because of the broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business
operations located primarily in China that have listed their securities in the United States. A number of Chinese companies have listed
or are in the process of listing their securities on U.S. stock markets. The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant
volatility, including price declines in connection with their initial public offerings. The trading performance of these Chinese companies’
securities after their offerings may affect the attitudes of investors toward Chinese companies listed in the United States in general
and consequently may impact the trading performance of our Class A Ordinary Shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.
In
addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our Class A Ordinary Shares may be highly volatile for factors
specific to our own operations, including the following:
●
regulatory
developments affecting us or our industry;
●
actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations and changes or revisions of our expected results;
●
changes
in financial estimates by securities research analysts;
●
conditions
in the market for architecture industry;
●
announcements
by us or our competitors of new product and/or service offerings, acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures, capital
raisings or capital commitments;
●
additions
to or departures of our senior management;
●
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 shares; and
●
sales
or perceived potential sales of additional Class A Ordinary Shares.
Any
of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our Class A Ordinary Shares will trade.
54
In
the past, 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.
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 Class A Ordinary Shares.
In
addition to the risks addressed above in “- The trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could result
in substantial losses to investors ”, our Class A 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 comparable to our anticipated public
float 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 Class A Ordinary 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 Class A 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 Class A Ordinary Shares. In addition, investors of our Class A Ordinary Shares may experience
losses, which may be material, if the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares declines or if such investors purchase shares of our Class
A Ordinary Shares prior to any price decline.
The
future sales of Class A Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders may adversely affect the market price of our ordinary share.
As
a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme
price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. Sales of a substantial number of our Class
A Ordinary Shares in the public market could occur at any time. The sales of a substantial number of shares could result in a significant
decline in the public trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale or
issuance of additional Class A Ordinary Shares, which could affect our listing status. If we are unable to maintain the continued listing
requirements of Nasdaq, our securities could be delisted from Nasdaq, which could materially and adversely (i) impair the liquidity of
our Class A Ordinary Shares, (ii) limit our ability to raise capital and (iii) harm the value of a shareholder’s investment.
If
securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations
regarding our Class A Ordinary Shares, the market price for our Class A Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline.
The
trading market for our Class A Ordinary Shares will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish
about our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade our Class A Ordinary Shares, the market price for our Class A Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could
lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for our Class A Ordinary Shares
to decline.
55
The
sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our Class A Ordinary Shares could adversely affect their market price.
Sales
of substantial amounts of our Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur could adversely
affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings
in the future. The Class A Ordinary Shares sold in future public offerings will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration
under the Securities Act, and shares held by our existing shareholders may also be sold in the public market in the future subject to
the restrictions in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the applicable lock-up agreements. As of the date of this report, 26,370,521
Class A Ordinary Shares are outstanding. In connection with our IPO, we and each of our directors and officers named in the section “ Management ,”
and certain shareholders have agreed not to sell any Class A Ordinary Shares for 180 days from the date of the report for our IPO without
the prior written consent of the underwriter, subject to certain exceptions. However, the underwriters may release these securities from
these restrictions at any time, subject to applicable regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”).
We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders or any other shareholder or the
availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
Because
we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on price appreciation of our Class A Ordinary Shares for return
on your investment.
We
do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares as a source for any future dividend income.
Our
board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and
pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations
and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial
condition, contractual restrictions, regulatory requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly,
the return on your investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Class
A Ordinary Shares. There is no guarantee that our Class A Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which
you purchased our Class A Ordinary Shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our Class A Ordinary Shares and you may
even lose your entire investment.
You
must rely on the judgment of our management as to the use of the net proceeds from future financings, and such use may not produce income
or increase our share price.
We
are obligated to use 80% of the net proceeds from the Equity Facility toward the purchase of cryptocurrency assets in connection with
our cryptocurrency treasure strategy, and the rest for general working capital in our sole discretion. However, our management will have
considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds received by us. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment
decision, to assess whether proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve
our efforts to achieve or maintain profitability or increase our share price. The net proceeds from our future financings may be placed
in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.
If
we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, United States taxpayers who own our Class A Ordinary Shares may have adverse
United States federal income tax consequences.
A
non-U.S. corporation such as ourselves will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which is known as a PFIC, for any
taxable year if, for such year, either:
●
At
least 75% of our gross income for the year is passive income; or
●
The
average percentage of our assets (determined at the end of each quarter) during the taxable year which produces passive income or
which are held for the production of passive income is at least 50%.
Passive
income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade
or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.
56
If
we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. taxpayer who
holds our Class A Ordinary Shares, the U.S. taxpayer may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject
to additional reporting requirements.
Depending
on the amount of cash we hold and the amount of cash we raise in our future offerings of our securities, together with any other assets
held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, for our current taxable year or for any subsequent year, more than 50%
of our assets may be assets which produce passive income. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year.
Although the law in this regard is unclear, we treat our consolidated affiliated entities as being owned by us for United States federal
income tax purposes, not only because we exercise effective control over the operation of such entities but also because we are entitled
to substantially all of their economic benefits, and, as a result, we consolidate their operating results in our consolidated financial
statements. For purposes of the PFIC analysis, in general, a non-U.S. corporation is deemed to own its pro rata share of the gross income
and assets of any entity in which it is considered to own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% of the equity by value.
Our
status as a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis. Accordingly, our U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect
to our PFIC status and also expresses no opinion with regard to our expectations regarding our PFIC status.
For
a more detailed discussion of the application of the PFIC rules to us and the consequences to U.S. taxpayers who own our Class A Ordinary Shares if we were determined to be a PFIC, see “ Taxation - Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations - Passive
Foreign Investment Company .”
The
three main shareholders of our Company, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Technology Officer, holds approximately 98.68%
of the voting power of our Ordinary Shares and have the ability to control the outcome of certain matters submitted to shareholders for
approval, including increasing, consolidating, converting, dividing and cancelling share capital, election of directors and declaring
dividends, the amendment of the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, varying class rights, continuation out, winding
up and reducing share capital, and other major corporate transactions, such as a change in control, merger, consolidation, and sale of
assets.
We
have a dual-class share structure such that our Ordinary Shares consist of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Holders
of our Class A Ordinary Shares and our Class B Ordinary Shares shall at all times vote together as one class on all resolutions submitted
to a vote by our shareholders. Each Class A ordinary share shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters subject to vote
at our general meetings, and each Class B ordinary share shall entitle the holder thereof to twenty-five votes on all matters subject
to vote at our general meetings. Class B Ordinary Shares are not convertible into one Class A ordinary or transferrable, subject to applicable
rules and regulations.
Mr.
Wong, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, exercises voting and dispositive power over the securities held by FNHK Inc.
Mr. Chong, Chief Technology Officer and director of the Company, exercises voting and dispositive power over the securities held by CP
COWORK LIMITED. Mr. Wong and Mr. Chong co-founded the Company in 2013 and have led the Company to achieve significant growth. Weiyi C.
Yu exercises voting and dispositive power over the securities held by R-OPUS, Inc. The three main shareholders, holding an aggregate
of 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares will be deemed to beneficially own approximately 98.68% of the total voting power of our issued
and outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares). As long as our three main shareholders
continue to beneficially own more than 10,289,943 Class B Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 29.83% of the total number of our
issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares), they will have the ability to
control the outcome of matters submitted to shareholders for approval as ordinary resolutions that holders of Class A and Class B Ordinary Shares would vote together on as a class, including increasing, consolidating, converting, dividing and cancelling share capital, election
of directors and declaring dividends, pursuant to the Company’s Second M&A. In addition, the three main shareholders will also
have the ability to control the outcome of certain matters submitted to shareholders for approval as special resolutions, such as the
amendment of the Company’s memorandum and articles of association, varying class rights, continuation out, winding up and reducing
share capital, and approval of major corporate transactions, such as merger, consolidation, and any other matters submitted for the approval
of shareholders, such as a change in control and sale of assets, as long as our three main shareholders continue to beneficially own
more than 13,719,924 Class B Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 39.77% of the total number of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares). As such, the disparate voting rights of our Class B Ordinary Shares could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our Company that shareholders may consider favorable.
57
We
may issue additional Ordinary Shares or preference shares in the future. Any such issuances would dilute the interest of our shareholders
and likely present other risks.
Our
Second M&A authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.001 per share, 20,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, par value $0.001 per share, and 200,000,000 shares with such rights, preferences and privileges that may be designated by the
board of directors, including high voting rights. In connection with the Preferred Shares financing, the board of directors designated
50,000 of the undesignated shares as the Preferred Shares. As of March 31, 2026, there are 74,569,872 authorized but unissued Class A
Ordinary Shares, 48,620 authorized but unissued the Series A Convertible Preferred share and 199,950,000 undesignated shares, respectively,
available for issuance.
We
may issue additional Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares or designate and issue shares with preference to Class A Ordinary Shares in the future. In addition, the holders of our Preferred Shares have the right to convert such shares into Class A Ordinary Shares
in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. Such future issuances:
●
may
significantly dilute the voting power and/or equity interest of investors;
●
may
subordinate the rights of holders of Class A Ordinary Shares;
●
could
cause a change in control;
●
may
have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person
seeking to obtain control of us;
●
may
adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A Ordinary Shares.
See
also “- The Second M&A that we adopted contain anti-takeover provisions and the Class B Ordinary Shares we issued have anti-takeover
effects that could have a material adverse effect on the rights of holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares ” below.
The
Second M&A that we adopted contain anti-takeover provisions and the Class B Ordinary Shares we issued have anti-takeover effects
that could have a material adverse effect on the rights of holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
Some
provisions of our Second M&A may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or management that shareholders
may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue shares at such times and on such terms and
conditions as the board of directors may decide without any further vote or action by our shareholders. In addition, our Class B Ordinary Shares and other preferred shares we may issue in the future could be utilized as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a
change in control of our Company.
Our
second M&A contain provisions to limit the ability of others to acquire control of our company or cause us to engage in change-of-control
transactions. These provisions could have the effect of depriving our shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium
over prevailing market prices by discouraging third parties from seeking to obtain control of our company in a tender offer or similar
transaction. In addition, our board of directors will have the authority, without further action by our shareholders, to issue preferred
shares in one or more series and to fix their designations, powers, preferences, privileges, and relative participating, optional or
special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms
of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights associated with our Class A Ordinary Shares.
Preferred shares could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of our company or make removal
of management more difficult. If our board of directors decides to issue preferred shares, the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares may
fall and the voting and other rights of the holders of our Class A Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected.

We
are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and, as a result, 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 Stock Market Rules because our three main shareholders, including
our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Technology Officer, collectively beneficially own more than 50% of our total voting power.
For so long as we remain a controlled company under that definition, we are permitted to elect to rely on, and may rely on, certain exemptions
from corporate governance rules, including an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors.
As a result, you may not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance
requirements.
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 Cayman Islands with limited liability. As a result, it may be difficult for investors
to effect service of process within the United States upon our directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States
courts against our directors or officers.
Our
corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended from time to time, the
Companies Act of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors,
actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed
by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial
precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority,
but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under
the Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in
the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states,
such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition,
the Cayman Islands companies may not have the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.
Shareholders
of the Cayman Islands companies like us have no general rights under the Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than
the memorandum and articles of association (as amended from time to time) and any special resolutions passed by these companies, and
the register of mortgages and charges of these companies) or to obtain copies of the register of members of these companies. Our directors
have discretion under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions,
our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may
make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit
proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.
Certain
corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, differ significantly from requirements for companies
incorporated in other jurisdictions such as the U.S. Currently, we do not plan to rely on home country practice with respect to any corporate
governance matter. However, if we choose to follow our home country practice in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection
than they otherwise would under rules and regulations applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.
59
Currently,
the majority of our operations are conducted in Hong Kong outside the United States, and the majority of our assets are located outside
the United States. Keith Chong, our Director and Chief Technology Officer, is Hong Kong citizen or resident and a substantial portion
of his assets are located in Hong Kong outside the United States. You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process,
enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or certain members of our management named in the annual report,
because, in the absence of arrangement providing for the reciprocal enforcement of judgements between Hong Kong and the United States,
judgments entered in the United States can be enforced in Hong Kong only at common law. In a common law action for enforcement of a foreign
judgment in Hong Kong, the enforcement is subject to various conditions, in particular, the proceeding pursuant to which judgment was
obtained must be commenced within six years and the judgment creditor has to prove that (a) the judgment is in personam; (b) the judgment
is in the nature of a monetary award in respect of a definite or fixed sum of money (not being a sum payable in respect of taxes or other
charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or another penalty); (c) the judgment is final and conclusive on the merits of the claim
and has not been stayed or satisfied in full; and (d) the judgement is from a superior court of competent jurisdiction (as determined
by the private international law rules applied by the Hong Kong courts). The defenses available to the defendant in a common law action
for enforcement of a foreign judgment include, inter alia, breach of natural justice, fraud and contrary to public policy of Hong Kong.
In order to enforce the foreign judgement at common law, fresh proceedings may be initiated in Hong Kong by the judgment creditor issuing
and serving a writ of summons on the judgment debtor, attaching the foreign judgment as proof of the debt. Due to the lack of reciprocal
enforcement arrangements as well as the foregoing conditions and defenses available, there is uncertainty as to the enforceability in
Hong Kong, in original actions or in actions for enforcement, of judgments of United States courts of civil liabilities predicated solely
upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any State or territory within 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 officers.
As
a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken
by our management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company
incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act of the Cayman
Islands and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “ Description of Our
Securities — Comparison of Cayman Islands Corporate Law and U.S. Corporate Law .”
You
may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.
The
laws of the Cayman Islands provide shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting, and does not provide shareholders
with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. These rights, however, may be provided in a company’s articles of
association. Our amended and restated articles of association allow our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less
than one-third of the rights to vote at such general meeting our voting share capital in issue, to requisition a general meeting of our
shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. At least 7 clear days’ notice must be given to the
shareholders for any annual general meeting and at least 5 clear days’ notice must be given to the shareholders for any other general
meeting. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least one or more shareholders present or by proxy, or if a corporation,
by its duly authorized representative, representing not less than one-third of all votes attaching to all shares in issue and entitled
to vote at such general meeting of the Company. For these purposes, “clear days” means that period excluding (a) the day
when the notice is given or deemed to be given and (b) the day for which it is given or on which it is to take effect.
Certain
judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.
We
are a Cayman Islands exempted company 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, some of our current directors and 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 Cayman Islands and of Hong Kong may render you unable to seek recognition
and/or enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers.
60
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 requirements
applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply
with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 for so long as we are an emerging growth company.
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.
We
incur significantly increased costs and devote substantial management time as a result of the listing of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
We
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 are required to comply with the additional requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC and the
Nasdaq rules, including applicable corporate governance practices. Compliance with these requirements increases our legal and financial
compliance costs and makes some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, our management and other personnel 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.
Nasdaq
may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities
and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
Our
Class A Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “OFAL.” We cannot assure you that our securities will be, or
will continue to be, listed on Nasdaq in the future. In order to continue listing our securities on Nasdaq, we must maintain certain
financial, distribution and stock price levels. Generally, we must maintain a minimum amount in shareholders’ equity (generally
$2,500,000) and a minimum number of holders of our securities (generally 300 public holders).
On
December 11, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that the
closing bid price per share for 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).
Pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had until the Compliance Period, to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid
price requirement.
61
On
June 9, 2026, the Company received the Letter from the Staff notifying the Company that the Company is eligible for the Second Compliance
Period, or until the Compliance Date, to regain compliance, based on the Staff’s determination of the Company meeting the continued
listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of
the minimum bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the
Second Compliance Period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. The Letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the
Company’s Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. If at any time during the Second Compliance Period the closing bid price of the Company’s
Ordinary Shares is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days (which may be extended to be a period of up
to 20 consecutive business days in the discretion of the Staff), Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance.
The Letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, and the shares will continue to trade uninterrupted
under the symbol “OFAL.”
If
the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s Ordinary
Shares is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the
procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq listing rules. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting
notice and appeals the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, such appeal would be successful.
If
Nasdaq delists our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities
exchange, we expect our securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material
adverse consequences, which would harm the value of the shareholders’ investment, including:
●
a
limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
●
reduced
liquidity for our securities;
●
a
determination that our Class A Ordinary Shares come within the definition of “penny stock” which will require brokers
trading in our Class A 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 securities;
●
a
limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and
●
a
decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
The
National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the
sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because our Class A Ordinary Shares have been
approved for listing on Nasdaq, our Class A Ordinary Shares 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.
Risks
Related to Our Cryptocurrency Treasure Strategy
WE
ARE NOT REGISTERED AS AN INVESTMENT COMPANY UNDER THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 AND SHAREHOLDERS DO NOT HAVE THE PROTECTIONS ASSOCIATED
WITH OWNERSHIP OF SHARES IN A REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANY NOR THE PROTECTIONS AFFORDED BY THE COMMODITIES EXCHANGE ACT.
We
may use the net proceeds from any future offering to purchase cryptocurrency, the price of which has been, and will likely continue to
be, highly volatile.
We
may use the net proceeds from any future offering to purchase and hold Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and potentially other digital assets.
Each of these assets carries distinct risks that could materially and adversely affect the value of our treasury and the market price
of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
● Bitcoin (BTC):
Bitcoin has historically experienced extreme price volatility and may continue to do so. Regulatory developments that classify Bitcoin
as a security could result in our classification as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which
would impose significant regulatory burdens.
62
● Solana (SOL):
The Solana blockchain has a history of network outages and technical disruptions. Such interruptions can adversely affect transaction
processing, market confidence, and liquidity for SOL, which could materially impact the value of our holdings.
● Other Crypto
Assets: If we acquire additional crypto assets, these may present heightened risks given their shorter track records, less established
market liquidity, potential susceptibility to market manipulation, and regulatory uncertainty.
Our
multi-asset cryptocurrency strategy may also increase correlation risks among our holdings, particularly in market downturns, which could
amplify overall volatility.
To
mitigate these risks, we have adopted policies requiring diversification, minimum liquidity reserves, and ongoing monitoring of market,
technological, and regulatory developments. Nonetheless, no assurance can be given that these measures will be effective, and investors
may experience significant losses if our digital asset holdings decline in value.
Pursuant
to the Atsion Purchase Agreement, we agreed to use the net proceeds from the Equity Facility to purchase cryptocurrency assets in connection
with our cryptocurrency treasure strategy. Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset that has traded below $39,000 per bitcoin and above $106,000
per bitcoin on Coinbase during 2024. More recently, year-to-date in 2025, bitcoin traded above $120,000 per bitcoin and below $75,000
per bitcoin on Coinbase. In addition, bitcoin does not pay interest or other returns and so ability to generate a return on investment
from the net proceeds from our financing will depend on whether there is appreciation in the value of bitcoin following our purchases
of bitcoin with the net proceeds from our financing. The trading prices of Solana have experienced extreme volatility in recent periods
and may continue to do so. For instance, there were steep increases in the value of certain digital assets, including Solana, over the
course of 2021, and multiple market observers assert that digital assets were experiencing a “bubble.” These increases were
followed by steep drawdowns throughout 2022 in digital asset trading prices, including for Solana. These episodes of rapid price appreciation
followed by steep drawdowns have occurred multiple times throughout Solana’s history. Over the past 4 years (Sep 1, 2021 - Aug
31, 2025), Solana has exhibited a historical annualized volatility of 101.4% and maximum annual price decrease of -94.2% in 2022. As
of the date of this report, digital asset prices continued to fluctuate in 2025. Year-to-date in 2025, Solana’s highest price was
$261.87 on January 18, 2025 and its lowest price was $105.5 on April 8, 2025. Since its launch in 2020, the Solana network has suffered
several high-profile network outages and technical issues, which triggered sharp price swings. Future fluctuations in bitcoin
or Solana trading prices may result in our converting bitcoin purchased with the net proceeds from our financing into cash with a value
substantially below the net proceeds from our financing.
Bitcoin
and other digital assets are novel assets, and are subject to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty. Bitcoin
and other digital assets are relatively novel and are subject to significant uncertainty, which could adversely impact their price. The
application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, and
it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner
that adversely affects the price of bitcoin. The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also
enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the
price of bitcoin or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer bitcoin. For example, the U.S. executive
branch and SEC, among others in the United States and abroad, have been active in recent years, and laws including the European Union’s
Markets in Crypto Asset Regulation and the U.K.’s Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 became law. It is not possible to predict
whether, or when, any of these developments will lead to Congress granting additional authorities to the SEC or other regulators, or
whether, or when, any other federal, state or foreign legislative bodies will take any similar actions. It is also not possible to predict
the nature of any such additional authorities, how additional legislation or regulatory oversight might impact the ability of digital
asset markets to function or the willingness of financial and other institutions to continue to provide services to the digital assets
industry, nor how any new regulations or changes to existing regulations might impact the value of digital assets generally and bitcoin
specifically. The consequences of increased or different regulation of digital assets and digital asset activities could adversely affect
the market price of bitcoin and in turn adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Moreover, the risks of engaging
in a bitcoin treasury strategy are relatively novel and have created, and could continue to create, complications due to the lack of
experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability
insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.
63
The
growth of the digital assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of bitcoin in particular, may also impact the price of bitcoin
and is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of bitcoin may depend, for instance,
on public familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying, accessing or gaining exposure to bitcoin, institutional demand for bitcoin
as an investment asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions in the digital assets industry, consumer demand for bitcoin
as a means of payment, and the availability and popularity of alternatives to bitcoin. Even if growth in bitcoin adoption occurs in the
near or medium-term, there is no assurance that bitcoin usage will continue to grow over the long-term.
Because
bitcoin has no physical existence beyond the record of transactions on the bitcoin blockchain, a variety of technical factors related
to the bitcoin blockchain could also impact the price of bitcoin. For example, malicious attacks by miners, inadequate mining fees to
incentivize validating of bitcoin transactions, hard “forks” of the bitcoin blockchain into multiple blockchains, and advances
in digital computing, algebraic geometry, and quantum computing could undercut the integrity of the bitcoin blockchain and negatively
affect the price of bitcoin. The liquidity of bitcoin may also be reduced and damage to the public perception of bitcoin may occur, if
financial institutions were to deny or limit banking services to businesses that hold bitcoin, provide bitcoin-related services or accept
bitcoin as payment, which could also decrease the price of bitcoin. Similarly, the open-source nature of the bitcoin blockchain means
the contributors and developers of the bitcoin blockchain are generally not directly compensated for their contributions in maintaining
and developing the blockchain, and any failure to properly monitor and upgrade the bitcoin blockchain could adversely affect the bitcoin
blockchain and negatively affect the price of bitcoin.
Recent
actions by U.S. banking regulators have reduced the ability of bitcoin-related services providers to gain access to banking services
and liquidity of bitcoin may also be impacted to the extent that changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements negatively impact
the ability of exchanges and trading venues to provide services for bitcoin and other digital assets.
In
addition, while the current administration has expressed support regarding the development and use of digital assets as the industry
has anticipated, the specific regulatory frameworks are still to be developed.
Expectations
around U.S. digital asset policy, including potential sentiments that the U.S. government is not moving quickly enough or not meeting
policy expectations, may adversely affect the price of bitcoin.
Regulatory
change reclassifying bitcoin as a security could lead to our classification as an “investment company” under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, and could adversely affect the market price of bitcoin and the market price of our
Class A Ordinary Shares.
Under
Sections 3(a)(1)(A) and (C) of the 1940 Act, a company generally will be deemed to be an “investment company” for purposes
of the 1940 Act if (1) it is, or holds itself out as being, engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing,
reinvesting or trading in securities or (2) it engages, or proposes to engage, in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding
or trading in securities and it owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40% of the value of its total
assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. We do not believe that we are an “investment
company,” as such term is defined in the 1940 Act, and are not registered as an “investment company” under the 1940
Act as of the date of this report. While senior SEC officials have stated their view that bitcoin is not a “security” for
purposes of the federal securities laws, a contrary determination by the SEC could lead to our classification as an “investment
company” under the 1940 Act, if the portion of our assets consists of investments in bitcoins exceeds 40% safe harbor limits prescribed
in the 1940 Act, which would subject us to significant additional regulatory controls that could have a material adverse effect on our
business and operations and may also require us to change the manner in which we conduct our business. We monitor our assets and income
for compliance under the 1940 Act and seek to conduct our business activities in a manner such that we do not fall within its definitions
of “investment company” or that we qualify under one of the exemptions or exclusions provided by the 1940 Act and corresponding
SEC regulations. If bitcoin is determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, we would take steps to
reduce the percentage of bitcoins that constitute investment assets under the 1940 Act. These steps may include, among others, selling
bitcoins that we might otherwise hold for the long term and deploying our cash in non-investment assets, and we may be forced to sell
our bitcoins at unattractive prices. We may also seek to acquire additional non-investment assets to maintain compliance with the 1940
Act, and we may need to incur debt, issue additional equity or enter into other financing arrangements that are not otherwise attractive
to our business. Any of these actions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover,
we can make no assurance that we would successfully be able to take the necessary steps to avoid being deemed to be an investment company
in accordance with the safe harbor. If we were unsuccessful, and if bitcoin is determined to constitute a security for purposes of the
federal securities laws, then we would have to register as an investment company, and the additional regulatory restrictions imposed
by 1940 Act could adversely affect the market price of bitcoin and in turn adversely affect the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.
64
We
may be subject to regulatory developments related to crypto assets and crypto asset markets, which could adversely affect our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
As
bitcoin and other digital assets are relatively novel and the application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations
to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret
or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of bitcoin. The U.S. federal government, states,
regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or
judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of bitcoin or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or
transfer bitcoin. If bitcoin is determined to constitute a security for purposes of the federal securities laws, the additional regulatory
restrictions imposed by such a determination could adversely affect the market price of bitcoin and in turn adversely affect the market
price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. See “Regulatory change reclassifying bitcoin as a security could lead to our classification
as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the 1940 Act, and could adversely affect
the market price of bitcoin and the market price of our Class A Ordinary Shares” above. Moreover, the risks of us engaging in a
bitcoin treasury strategy have created, and could continue to create, complications due to the lack of experience that third parties
have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential
inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.
Our
ability to execute our business plan depends on the successful development, deployment, and commercialization of blockchain-based infrastructure
that supports the tokenization of real-world assets, on-chain trading systems, and treasury management, which may not materialize as
expected.
Our
business plan relies on the development and successful commercialization of blockchain-enabled infrastructure that supports the tokenization
of real-world assets and the creation of on-chain trading systems and treasury management strategies. Our ability to generate revenue
and scale operations depends on the timely and functional integration of multiple technical, legal, and market-facing components, including:
●
Smart
contracts;
●
Regulatory-compliant
token issuance and transfer mechanics;
●
Scalable
custody and proof-of-reserves solutions;
●
A
compliant trading platform with liquidity support;
●
Institutional-grade
treasury infrastructure for token settlement and redeployment.
65
As
of the date of the report, the Company has not yet entered into agreements with any financial institutions to originate “smart
contract” mortgages, and no regulators, auditors, or investors have agreed to hold or review smart-contract versions of such mortgages.
The systems required to tokenize real-world assets and support digital secondary market infrastructure remain under development. There
can be no assurance that our technology will function as intended, meet security or audit standards, or be accepted by market participants.
Delays, bugs, third-party integration failures, or regulatory design flaws may materially impair our ability to bring products to market
or to meet investor expectations.
Moreover,
widespread commercial acceptance of tokenized assets is uncertain and may depend on user familiarity, platform trust, macroeconomic conditions,
and evolving regulatory support. Even if we successfully deploy our core infrastructure, user adoption may lag or institutional counterparties
may hesitate to participate in a new digital settlement framework.
If
we are unable to successfully design, launch, or scale our digital asset strategy-or if this strategy fails to gain sufficient traction
among mining companies, custodians, market makers, or institutional investors-our ability to execute our strategic plan and generate
sustainable revenue may be materially and adversely affected.
Changes
in laws and regulations, including increased regulation of blockchain technologies and digital assets, may adversely affect our business,
product development, and compliance obligations.
The
legal and regulatory environment applicable to blockchain-based platforms, digital asset issuance, and tokenized financial products is
rapidly evolving. Our business plan involves the creation and distribution of tokenized mortgages that are recorded on-chain through
blockchain infrastructure. This structure intersects with regulatory regimes governing securities, commodities, financial services, payments,
data privacy, and cross-border transactions. Any material change in applicable laws, regulatory guidance, or enforcement priorities could
adversely affect our operations, increase compliance burdens, or require us to modify, delay, or cancel certain product offerings.
In
particular, governments and regulatory agencies globally-including the SEC, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Canadian Securities
Administrators, and other international bodies-have signaled increased scrutiny over blockchain-based activities. Areas of focus include
the classification of digital tokens as securities, the registration of platforms as broker-dealers or alternative trading systems (ATS),
custody and safekeeping standards, and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance. Heightened regulation could also affect how smart contracts
are governed, how token transfers are tracked, and how compliance responsibilities are allocated among issuers, custodians, and technology
providers.
Changes
in applicable law could impose new licensing or registration requirements, require changes to our token architecture, restrict our ability
to engage in cross-border token sales, or subject our personnel or counterparties to additional oversight. In addition, regulatory developments
may outpace technological adaptation, resulting in uncertainty or fragmentation that inhibits innovation or market adoption.
Complying
with new or modified regulatory regimes could require significant legal, operational, and technical resources. Failure to comply-or perceived
non-compliance-with applicable regulatory requirements may result in fines, enforcement actions, product delays, reputational harm, or
even the inability to operate in certain jurisdictions. Any such developments could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects,
and financial condition.
Our
ability to build and scale a community of clients and investor end-users for blockchain-enabled financial services and products is uncertain
and depends on successful market adoption, product development, and execution of our business strategy.
Our
growth depends on the successful creation and sustained expansion of an engaged ecosystem of users, including institutional investors,
custodians, liquidity providers, and individual tokenholders. We aim to position our platform as a digital infrastructure layer for the
issuance, trading, and settlement of tokenized real-world assets. However, there is no assurance that we will succeed in attracting and
retaining a critical mass of users necessary to support token liquidity, market activity, and platform revenues.
66
Market
adoption of blockchain-based financial services remains nascent and subject to skepticism from both traditional finance and regulatory
stakeholders. Many investors and institutions are unfamiliar with or cautious toward tokenized instruments, decentralized smart contracts,
or cross-border digital asset frameworks. In addition, competing platforms or legacy products may already command greater trust, scale,
or regulatory clarity.
Our
success also depends on timely and effective product development. Delays in launching smart contracts, integrating with exchanges, securing
custodial relationships, or offering user-friendly interfaces may hinder onboarding or reduce retention. Similarly, failure to provide
sufficient liquidity, transparency, or user protections could impair adoption and reduce network effects.
If
we are unable to effectively execute our business strategy or develop products that meet the expectations of target users, we may not
achieve sufficient traction to support our platform. This could materially limit our revenue potential and long-term viability.
There
are risks associated with the Solana network, SOL token and the blockchain sector.
We
may use the net proceeds from any future offering to purchase and hold Solana (SOL). “Staking SOL” refers to the process
of delegating our SOL tokens, once acquired, to independent validator nodes on the Solana network to participate in its proof-of-stake
consensus mechanism. We expect to evaluate various validators with a view to establishing relationships for staking SOL. In return for
this delegation, we expect to earn staking rewards, which are distributed approximately every 2-3 days (each period known as an “epoch”).
This strategy is intended to generate returns through (i) these staking rewards, currently yielding approximately 6.78% APY, and (ii)
potential appreciation in the value of the SOL tokens we hold. Our primary costs include validator commissions (typically 0-10% of rewards),
network transaction fees, custodial service fees, and, if credit facilities are used for funding, interest expense on such credit facilities.
We
could face numerous material risks that could prevent us from realizing our strategy or result in a complete or partial loss of our investment,
including:
●
Price
Volatility of SOL: SOL is a highly volatile cryptocurrency asset that has traded below US$105 and above $270 per SOL in the 12
months preceding the date of this report. The trading price of SOL has been highly volatile during prior periods, experiencing multiple
previous significant decreases, and such declines may occur again in the future. A decline in the price of SOL could rapidly erase
any staking rewards we may earn and result in a substantial loss of our principal capital.
●
Staking
and Liquidity Risks: The Solana network imposes an “unbonding” period of several days when we wish to stop staking
and liquidate our tokens. This lock-up period will limit our ability to react to adverse market conditions, subjecting us to significant
market timing risk and potential illiquidity during periods of volatility.
●
Operational
and Validator Risks: Our ability to earn rewards is dependent on the performance and reliability of the third-party validators
we delegate to. If a validator fails to perform its functions (e.g., through downtime or malicious activity), our share of staking
rewards may be reduced or slashed (penalized). We bear costs for this service, typically validator commissions of 0-10% of rewards
earned.
●
Regulatory
Uncertainty: The regulatory landscape for digital assets and staking activities, particularly in the U.S., is evolving rapidly.
New laws, regulations, or regulatory interpretations could deem our activities non-compliant, subject us to penalties, or force us
to liquidate our position at a loss, potentially on short notice.
●
Lack
of Experience: Our management team has limited experience in the digital asset and blockchain sector. Our inability to successfully
navigate the complexities of this new and rapidly evolving industry could lead to operational errors, poor strategic decisions, and
financial losses.
67
Our
Solana digital asset staking strategy is subject to unique and substantial risks related to the Solana network’s technology, governance,
and ecosystem, which could result in a complete or partial loss of our investment.
Our
Solana digital asset staking strategy is subject to the continuous and secure operation of the Solana blockchain. Solana is a high-throughput
Layer 1 blockchain that utilizes a novel hybrid Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-History consensus mechanism. While designed for performance,
this architecture introduces specific risks, including:
●
Network
Performance and Outages : The Solana network has a history of performance degradation and full outages due to high transaction
volumes, spam attacks, and validator coordination failures. For example, the network experienced significant liveness disruptions
in 2021 and 2022. Although upgrades have been implemented to address congestion, there can be no assurance that future issues will
not occur. Any disruption, outage, or period of significant congestion could prevent us from staking, unstaking, or transacting SOL
we may hold, directly impairing our ability to execute our strategy and potentially eroding the value of our holdings.
●
Concentration
and Reliance on Third-Party Software : The Solana validator set is relatively concentrated compared to other networks. Furthermore,
a high percentage of validators rely on software provided by Jito Labs, a third party unaffiliated with Solana Labs. If Jito Labs
were to discontinue support or if its software contained critical bugs, it could compromise network security and stability, increase
the impact of spam transactions, and adversely affect the value of SOL.
●
Technological
Obsolescence and Competition : The digital asset ecosystem is characterized by rapid innovation and intense competition. New protocols
(e.g., Aptos, Sui, Ethereum Layer 2s like Base) or advancements, including the integration of artificial intelligence, may offer
superior technology or attract developer activity away from Solana. If the Solana ecosystem fails to evolve, compete, or maintain
its relevance, the utility and value of SOL could decline materially.
●
Lifecycle
and Economic Mechanics of SOL : The value of SOL is influenced by its specific tokenomics:
○
Inflationary
and Deflationary Pressures : New SOL is created through an inflationary protocol issuance, which began at 8% annually and decreases
by 15% year-over-year to a terminal rate of 1.5%. Counteracting this is a deflationary mechanism where a portion of transaction fees
is burned (permanently removed from circulation). The net effect on the SOL supply (inflationary or deflationary) depends on network
usage and is uncertain.
○
Bonding
and Unbonding Periods : Staking SOL involves a “warmup” period before rewards are earned and a “cooldown”
or unbonding period of several days when unstaking. Typical bonding period requires one full epoch, and unbonding periods requires
2 to 4 days and one full epoch. During this unbonding period, assets are illiquid and earn no rewards. Furthermore, the protocol
limits how much stake can unbond per epoch (approximately 25% of the active stake), which could create a queue and further delay
access to our capital during a market downturn, exacerbating liquidity risk.
A
cyberattack or other malicious attack on the Solana blockchain could have a material impact on the value of SOL held by the Company.
Solana
and other digital assets and the entities that provide services to participants in blockchain ecosystems have been, and may in the future
be, subject to security breaches, cyberattacks, or other malicious activities. A successful security breach or cyberattack could result
in:
●
a
partial or total loss of our digital assets in a manner that may not be covered by insurance or the liability provisions of the custody
agreements with the custodian who holds our digital assets;
●
harm
to our reputation; or
●
significant
regulatory scrutiny, investigations, fines, penalties, and other legal, regulatory, contractual and financial exposure.
68
Further,
any actual or perceived data security breach or cybersecurity attack directed at other companies with digital assets or companies that
operate digital asset networks, regardless of whether we are directly impacted, could lead to a general loss of confidence in the broader
Solana ecosystem or in the use of the Solana network to conduct financial transactions, which could materially and adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations.
Covered
Call Option Writing Risk
We
may implement a covered-call option program on a portion of our BTC and SOL holdings, which is designed to produce income from option
premiums and offset a portion of a market decline in the underlying tokens. We, as the writer (seller) of a covered call option, forgo,
during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the tokesn covering the call option above
the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call, but have retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying tokens
decline. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as a writer of the option.
Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation
under the option and must deliver the underlying token at the exercise price.
