SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED MARCH 21,June 9, 2023

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

WETOUCH TECHNOLOGY INC.

                   shares of Common Stock

We are offering to sell                 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, in a firm commitment underwritten offering (the “Underwritten Offering”). We currently estimate that the public offering price will be between $           and $            per share.

The selling shareholders identified in this prospectus are offering an aggregate of 3,941,055 shares of our common stock, issuable upon conversion of convertible promissory notes and exercise of common stock purchase warrants (the “Selling Shareholder Shares”) held by such selling shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders Offering”). We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any shares by the selling shareholders.

Our common stock is currently traded on the OTCQB Marketplace operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (the “OTCQB”) under the symbol “WETH.” On March 20,June 6, 2023, the last reported sale price for our common stock was $0.245$0.195 per share.

We applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “WETH”. We believe that upon completion of the Underwritten Offering contemplated by this prospectus, we will meet the standards for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. No assurance can be given that our application will be approved or that the trading prices of our common stock on the OTCQB will be indicative of the prices of our common stock if our common stock were traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. This Underwritten Offering is contingent upon the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The offering price of our shares of common stock in the Underwritten Offering will be determined between the underwriters and us at the time of pricing, considering our historical performance and capital structure, prevailing market conditions, and overall assessment of our business, and may be at a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the recent market price of our common stock and the public offering price of the common stock used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the actual public offering price for the shares of common stock.

We expect to effect a 1-for-[    ] reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, with the number of authorized shares of common stock reduced ratably, effective immediately following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, prior to the completion of this offering (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On February 17, 2023, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a reverse stock split of each of the outstanding shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at a ratio to be determined by the Board of within a range of a minimum of a one-for-five (1-for-5) to a maximum of one-for-eighty (1-for-80) (the “Reverse Stock Split Ratio”), with the exact ratio to be set at a number within this range as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, with no change in par value. We intend for the Board to effect such reverse stock split in connection with the Underwritten Offering and our intended listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, we cannot guarantee that such reverse stock split will occur based on the ratio stated above, that such reverse stock split will be necessary or will occur in connection with the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or that the Nasdaq Stock Market will approve our initial listing application for our common stock upon such reverse stock split.

INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW AND CONSIDER ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS AND THE DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN, INCLUDING THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 12.

Wetouch Technology Inc. is not a Chinese operating company, but a holding company incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada with operations conducted by our subsidiary based in Mainland China. We hold equity interests in our subsidiary and do not use a variable interest entity structure. Our structure involves unique risks to investors. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China.” Unless the context provides otherwise, references in this registration statement to “we,” “us,” “our company,” “our,” “the Company” and “Wetouch” refers to Wetouch Technology Inc, “BVI Wetouch” refers to Wetouch Holding Group Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Wetouch, “HK Wetouch” refers to Hong Kong Wetouch Technology Limited (香港偉易達科技有限公司), a limited company organized under the laws of Hong Kong and a wholly owned subsidiary of BVI Wetouch, and “Sichuan Vtouch” refers to Sichuan Vtouch Technology Co., Ltd (四川伟大奇科技有限公司), a limited liability company organized under the PRC laws of China and a wholly foreign owned subsidiary of HK Wetouch. See “Commonly Used Defined Terms” on page ii herein. Investors would be purchasing interests in Wetouch Technology Inc., a Nevada company.

We face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties related to being based in and having all of our operations in Mainland China. The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a company with Mainland China-based operations, such as us, to conduct its business, accept foreign investments or list on ana U.S. or other foreign exchanges. For example, we face risks associated with regulatory approvals of offshore offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory actions, as well as oversight on cybersecurity and data privacy. Such risks could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our common stock and/or other securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. In addition, the PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene with or influence the operations of our PRCMainland China subsidiary as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals. The PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities and foreign investment in companies with Mainland China-based operations like us. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Administrative Measures”), which will taketook effect on March 31, 2023. The Trial Administrative Measures further stipulate the rules and requirements for overseas offerings and listings conducted by PRCMainland China domestic companies. AfterOur PRC counsel has advised that because our common stock currently trades in the U.S., we are not required to submit filings to the CSRC before this offering is completed and this offering is not conditioned on CSRC approval. Rather, within three days of the closing of this offering, we must submit filings to the CSRC in accordance with the Trial Administrative Measures. However, given that the Trial Administrative Measures take effect,were recently promulgated, there remain substantial uncertainties as to their interpretation, application, and enforcement and there is no guarantee that the relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion that we will be requiredand our PRC counsel have reached. In addition, if we were to go throughfail to comply with the post-offering filing procedureobligations imposed by the Trial Administrative Measures or make a misrepresentation, misleading statement or material omission in the materials we submit to satisfy the filing requirements.CSRC, the CSRC would have the right to order rectification, issue a warning and impose a fine on us of between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million and issuing a warning to the parties responsible for such failure, misrepresentation or material omission and impose a fine on each of such individuals ranging from RMB 500,000 to RMB 5 million. See “Risk Factor - Upon the effectiveness of the Trial Administrative measures, we will be subject to the Trial Administrative Measures, as the Company has: (i) 50% or more 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 accounting year is accounted for by PRCMainland China domestic companies; and (ii) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in mainlandMainland China, or its main places of business are located in mainlandMainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainlandMainland China; and we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete such process on time or at all.”

We, as an offshore holding company, are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to provide funding to our PRCMainland China subsidiary only through loans or capital contributions. Subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration and approval requirements, we may extend inter-company loans to our PRCMainland China subsidiary or make additional capital contributions to our PRCMainland China subsidiary to fund their capital expenditures or working capital. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain these government registrations or approvals on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, although we currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business, and we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Chinese subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements. Our PRCMainland China subsidiary may be permitted to pay dividends only out of its accumulated profits. However, such PRCMainland China subsidiary is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, after making up for previous year’s accumulated losses, if any, to fund certain statutory reserves, until the aggregate amount of such funds reaches 50% of its registered capital. This portion of such PRCMainland China subsidiary’s respective net assets are prohibited from being distributed to its shareholders as dividends. To date, there have not been any cash flows, transfers of other assets, dividends or other distributions among us and any of our subsidiaries. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries have ever paid dividends or made distributions to U.S. investors. In the future, cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities, including this Underwritten Offering, may be transferred by us to our Chinese subsidiaries via capital contribution or loans, as the case may be. As of the date of this prospectus, Wetouch, BVI Wetouch, HK Wetouch and Sichuan Vtouch have not adopted or maintained any cash management policies and procedures that dictate how funds are transferred.

On December 16, 2021, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) issued a report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and in Hong Kong because of positions taken by PRCMainland China and Hong Kong authorities in those jurisdictions. The PCAOB has made such designations as mandated under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act. Our auditor, B F Borgers CPA PC, is headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, United States, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, and it is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. If the PCAOB determines in the future that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, trading in our common stock would be prohibited under the HFCA Act. On August 26, 2022, the SEC issued a statement announcing that the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (“SOP”) with the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in Mainland China and Hong Kong, jointly agreeing on the need for a framework. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it has secured complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate the previous Determination Report to the contrary. On December 29, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”) was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in mainlandMainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed. If the PCAOB in the future again determines that it is unable to inspect and investigate completely auditors in Mainland China and Hong Kong, then the companies audited by those auditors would be subject to a trading prohibition on U.S. markets pursuant to the HFCA Act and/or the AHFCAA. These recent developments could also add uncertainties to this Underwritten Offering and we cannot assure you that the NASDAQ Capital Market or regulatory authorities would not apply additional or more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Recent joint statement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the newly enacted Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to the trading of our common stock on U.S. stock exchanges, including the possibility that our securities can be delisted if the PCAOB cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.”

Overview

We were originally incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on August 31, 1992. On October 9, 2020, we entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with BVI Wetouch, and all the shareholders of BVI Wetouch (each a “Shareholder” and collectively the “Shareholders”), to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance to the Shareholders an aggregate of 28 million shares of our common stock (the “Reverse Merger”). The Reverse Merger closed on October 9, 2020. Immediately after the closing of the Reverse Merger, we had a total of 31,396,394 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the Reverse Merger, BVI Wetouch is now our wholly-owned subsidiary.

Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, we are engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, sales and servicing of medium to large sized projected capacitive touchscreens. We specialize in large-format touchscreens, which are developed and designed for a wide variety of markets and used in the financial terminals, automotive, POS, gaming, lottery, medical, HMI, and other specialized industries.

In terms of the structures of touch panels, we offer (i) Glass-Glass (“GG”), primarily used in GPS/car entertainment panels in mid-size and luxury cars, industrial HMI, financial and banking terminals, POS and lottery machines; (ii) Glass-Film-Film (“GFF”), mostly used in high-end GPS and entertainment panels, industrial HMI, financial and banking terminals, lottery and gaming industry; (iii) Plastic-Glass (“PG”), typically adopted by touchscreens in GPS/entertainment panels motor vehicle GPS, smart home, robots and charging stations; and (iv) Glass-Film (“GF”), mostly used in industrial HMI.

Maintaining the industry standards for product quality and sustainability is one of our core values. Touchscreens produced by us not only have long life span with low maintenance, but also have strong anti-interference and anti-corrosion solutions, coupled with multi-touch capability and high light-transmittance ratio and stability. As a high technology company, our PRCMainland China subsidiary has received certifications from domestic and international institutions, such as ISO9001 Quality Management Systems (QMS) Certification of Registration, ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) Certification of Registration, and RoHS SGS Certification (Restriction of Hazardous Substance Testing Certification).

We generate revenues through sales of our various touchscreen products. For the nine monthsthree-months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, we recognized approximately $35.4$13.4 million and $37.1$12.0 million, respectively, in revenues.

Corporate History and Structure

We were originally incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on August 31, 1992 as Gulf West Investment Properties, Inc, and were dormant and had no operations for many years.

On February 26, 2019, the Eighth Judicial District Court in and for Clark County, Nevada, Case No. A-19-787151-B, appointed Custodian Ventures LLC, an affiliate of David Lazar, as custodian of the Company (the “Custodian”). Mr. Lazar was appointed as the sole officer and director of the Company. On March 11, 2019, 1,714,286 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to the Custodian in consideration for the payment of cash and the issuance of a promissory note by the Custodian to the Company. Effective as of June 11, 2019, the court discharged the Custodian’s duties.

On June 18, 2020, we consummated the transactions contemplated by a Stock Purchase Agreement among the Company, the Custodian, Qixun Samoa and Qihong Samoa (Qixun Samoa and Qixun Samoa are referred to as the “Buyers”). Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Buyers acquired all of the 1,714,286 shares of the Company owned by the Custodian, representing 50.47% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The Custodian and the Company agreed to indemnify the Buyers from any liabilities of the Company occurring prior to June 18, 2020, and the promissory note issued by the Custodian to the Company was canceled. Immediately following the closing, David Lazar resigned as the sole officer and director of the Company and Jiaying Cai was appointed as president, secretary and treasurer of the Company and as the sole director.

Name Change/Reverse Stock Split

Effective September 30, 2020, we changed our name from Gulf West Investment Properties, Inc. to Wetouch Technology Inc. by filing an Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State to give effect to a name change. The Amended and Restated Articles also effectuated a reverse split of our authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a 70 for 1 new basis whereby each 70 shares of outstanding common stock was exchanged for one (1) share of new common stock (the “Reverse Split” and, for avoidance of doubt, all share amounts set forth herein shall be post Reverse Split unless otherwise specified) and, consequently, our authorized common stock increased to 300,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and our then issued and outstanding common shares decreased from 237,742,066 to 3,396,394 shares, all with a par value of $0.001. All share and per share numbers relating to our common stock prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Split have been adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split.

As a result of the name change, we changed our trading symbol from “GLFW” to “WETH,” effective November 3, 2020.

Acquisition of BVI Wetouch

On October 9, 2020, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with BVI Wetouch and all of the shareholders of BVI Wetouch (each a “BVI Shareholder” and collectively the “BVI Shareholders”), to acquire all the issued and outstanding capital stock of BVI Wetouch in exchange for the issuance to the BVI Shareholders an aggregate of 28,000,000 shares of our common stock. In the Reverse Merger, each ordinary share of BVI Wetouch was exchanged for 560 shares of common stock of Wetouch. Immediately after the closing of the Reverse Merger on October 9, 2020, we had a total of 31,396,394 issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of the Reverse Merger, BVI Wetouch is now our wholly-owned subsidiary.

On October 12, 2020, Guangde Cai was appointed as an additional director and Chairman of the Company. On October 12, 2020, Mr. Zongyi Lian was appointed as president and chief executive officer of the Company, and Mr. Yuhua Huang was appointed as chief financial officer of the Company. On the same day, Jiaying Cai resigned from the capacity of president and treasurer of the Company, but remains the secretary and director of the Company.

BVI Wetouch was established under the laws of British Virgin Islands on August 14, 2020 to acquire all the shares of Hong Kong Wetouch Electronics Technology Limited (“Hong Kong Wetouch”). On September 11, 2020, BVI Wetouch acquired all the outstanding shares of Hong Kong Wetouch from the shareholders of Hong Kong Wetouch in consideration of HK$10,000 pursuant to instruments of transfer in accordance with Hong Kong law. As a result of the acquisition, Hong Kong Wetouch became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVI Wetouch. The shareholders of Hong Kong Wetouch became the shareholders of BVI Wetouch in said transaction, and therefore the shareholders who controlled Hong Kong Wetouch became the controlling shareholders of BVI Wetouch.

Hong Kong Wetouch was incorporated on May 5, 2016 under the laws of Hong Kong. On July 19, 2016, Hong Kong Wetouch acquired all the shares of Sichuan Wetouch, a PRCMainland China company established in Meishan, Sichuan on May 6, 2011. As a result of the acquisition, Sichuan Wetouch became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Wetouch.

As BVI Wetouch owns all the outstanding shares of Hong Kong Wetouch, which, in turn, owns all the outstanding shares of Sichuan Wetouch, the Company owns indirectly all the business of Sichuan Wetouch. As a result of the Reverse Merger in which the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of BVI Wetouch, Hong Kong Wetouch and Sichuan Wetouch becomebecame our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Hong Kong Wetouch Technology Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“HK Wetouch”), an affiliate of Guangde Cai, our former Chairman and Director, was incorporated on December 3, 2020 under the laws of Hong Kong. HK Wetouch was established to own all the outstanding shares of Sichuan Vtouch Technology Co., Ltd., which was incorporated on December 30, 2020 (“Sichuan Vtouch”) in Chengdu, Sichuan, under the laws of The People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).PRC laws.

On March 12, 2021, Wetouch Holding Group Limited (“BVI Wetouch”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, acquired all the outstanding shares of HK Wetouch from the sole shareholder of HK Wetouch, Guangde Cai, in consideration of the payment of HK$10,000 pursuant to instruments of transfer in accordance with Hong Kong law. As a result of the acquisition, HK Wetouch became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVI Wetouch. BVI Wetouch owns (i) all the outstanding shares of Hong Kong Wetouch, which, in turn, owns all the outstanding shares of Sichuan Wetouch and (ii) all of the outstanding shares of HK Wetouch, which owns all the shares of Sichaun Vtouch Technology Co., Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of PRC.Sichuan Vtouch.

Recent Developments

Pursuant to local PRC government guidelines on local environmental issues and the national overall plan, Sichuan Wetouch is under the government-directed relocation order to relocate no later than December 31, 2021 and received compensation accordingly.

On As a result, on March 16, 2021, Sichuan Wetouch entered into an Agreement of Compensation on Demolition (“Compensation Agreement”) with Meishan Huantian Industrial Co., Ltd, formerly named Sichuan Renshou Shigao Tianfu Investment Co., Ltd, a limited company owned by the local government (“Sichuan Renshou”), for the withdrawal of our right to use of state-owned land and the demolition of all buildings, facilities and equipment on such land where we maintain our executive offices, research and development facilities and factories at No.29, Third Main Avenue, Shigao Town, Renshou County, Meishan City, Sichuan, China (the “Property”). The Property, all buildings, facilities, equipment and all other appurtenances on the Property are collectively referred to as “Properties”. The Compensation Agreement was executed and delivered as a result of guidelines (the “Guidelines”) published by the local government of with respect to local environmental issues and a national overall plan on Tianfu New District, Meishan City, Sichuan, PRC.China. In accordance with the Guidelines, a project named “Chaisang River Ecological Wetland Park” is under construction in the areas where the manufacturing facilities and properties of the Company are located. As a result, Sichuan Wetouch must relocate. In consideration for such relocation, the owner of the buildings on the state-owned land will be compensated.

In order to minimize the interruption of our business, Sichuan Vtouch entered into a Leaseback Agreement with Sichuan Renshou on March 16, 2021. The Leaseback Agreement entitles us to lease back the Properties commencing from April 1, 2021 until December 31, 2021, at a monthly rent of RMB300,000 (approximately $46,154), which period was extended to October 31, 2022. On October 16, 2022, Sichuan Vtouch entered an extension to the Leaseback Agreement with Sichuan Renshou to extend the period it granted Sichuan Vtouch to lease back the Properties until October 31, 2023, at a monthly rent of RMB400,000 (approximately $59,941).

On March 18, 2021, Sichuan Wetouch received a total amount of RMB115.2 million (approximately $17.7 million) as the total amount of compensation from Sichuan Renshou, including RMB100.2 million ($15.4 million) based upon the appraised value of the Properties plus an extra 15% relocation bonus of RMB15.0 million ($2.3 million).

We are actively searching for an appropriate parcel in Chengdu Medicine City (Technology Park), Wenjiang District, Chengdu for the construction of our new production facilities and office buildings. As of the date of this prospectus, we estimate that our capital needs for this acquisition and construction will be approximately RMB170.0 million (approximately $26.2 million), but there is no assurance that the estimated amount is sufficient to achieve our goals. We may need additional financing for our business development. In addition, we expect that this acquisition and construction will be completed prior to October 31, 2023, but there is no assurance and we may need extended time to achieve our business plan. PursuantThus, pursuant to local PRC government guidelines on local environment issues and the national overall plan, Sichuan Wetouch wasis under the government directed relocation order to relocate no later than October 31, 2023 and was compensated for RMB115.2 million ($17.8 million) fromby the local government for the withdrawal of the right to use of state-owned land and the demolition of all buildings, facilities, equipment and all other appurtenances on the land.

On March 2, 2021, HK Wetouch acquired all shares of Hong Kong Wetouch. Hong Kong Wetouch submitted its application for dissolution and was dissolved on March 18, 2022. In addition, as of March 31, 2021, Sichuan Wetouch’s business and operations have been assumed by Sichuan Vtouch.

The following diagram illustrates our current corporate structure*:structure:

* In March 2021, Sichuan Wetouch started its dissolution process, which is estimated to be completed by June 2023, and is not included in the diagram above.

SEC Filing Obligations

We became subject to the filing requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a result of our Form 10 being declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 11, 2020.

We filed a Form S-1 registration statement with respect to the resale by 44 selling stockholders identified in the prospectus for an aggregate of 15,889,371 shares of common stock of the Company. The registration statement was declared effective by the Commission on January 7, 2021 (Registration No. 333-251845).

Listing on OTCQB Market

On February 15, 2021, we applied to the OTC Markets to have our shares quoted on the OTCQB, which was approved on March 26, 2021. Effective March 29, 2021, our shares started trading on OTCQB under the symbol “WETH.”

Listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “WETH.” In connection with this Underwritten Offering, we applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “WETH.” If our listing application is approved, we expect to list our common stock on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Underwritten Offering, at which point our common stock will cease to be traded on the OTCQB. No assurance can be given that our listing application will be approved. Nasdaq listing requirements include, among other things, a stock price threshold. As a result, prior to effectiveness, we will need to take the necessary steps to meet Nasdaq listing requirements, which may include, but not limited to, effectuating a reverse split of our common stock. This Underwritten Offering is contingent upon the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

We expect to effect a 1-for-[  ] reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, with the number of authorized shares of common stock reduced ratably, effective immediately following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, prior to the completion of this offering (the “Reverse Stock Split”). On February 17, 2023, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized a reverse stock split of each of the outstanding shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, at a ratio to be determined by the Board of within a range of a minimum of a one-for-five (1-for-5) to a maximum of one-for-eighty (1-for-80) (the “Reverse Stock Split Ratio”), with the exact ratio to be set at a number within this range as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, with no change in par value. We intend for the Board to effect such reverse stock split in connection with the Underwritten Offering and our intended listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, we cannot guarantee that such reverse stock split will occur based on the ratio stated above, that such reverse stock split will be necessary or will occur in connection with the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or that the Nasdaq Stock Market will approve our initial listing application for our common stock upon such reverse stock split.

Effects of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions have affected our businesses, as well as those of our customers and suppliers. To serve our customers while also providing for the safety of our employees and service providers, we have modified numerous aspects of our logistics, transportation, supply chain, purchasing, and after-sale processes. Beginning in Q1 2020, we made numerous process updates across our operations worldwide, and adapted our fulfillment network, to implement employee and customer safety measures, such as enhanced cleaning and physical distancing, personal protective gear, disinfectant spraying, and temperature checks. We will continue to prioritize employee and customer safety and comply with evolving state and local standards as well as to implement standards or processes that we determine to be in the best interests of our employees, customers, and communities.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our subsidiary Sichuan Wetouch was temporarily shut down from early February 2020 to early March 2020 in accordance with the requirement of the local governments. Our business was negatively impacted and generated lower revenue and net income in 2020.

Commencing in the spring of 2021, China began to experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, and to some extent, local governments and the national government began to take more restrictive measures to stem the spread of the virus, particularly from October 2021 to December 2021 and various periods in 2022. The Company experienced several shutdowns until the period ended March 31, 2023.

To serve our customers while also providing for the safety of our employees and service providers, we have modified numerous aspects of our logistics, transportation, supply chain, purchasing, and after-sale processes. The Company has taken proactive measures to promote products to new customers and entering more regions during the twelve-monththree-month period ended DecemberMarch 31, 2021.2023. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition will depend on the virus’ future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and the impact on the Company’s customers, which are still uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this point of time.

Competitive Strengths

We are dedicated to the production of high quality products that are tailored to customers’ requirements and commercial needs. Our competitive strengths include:

Our Growth Strategies

We will continue to adhere to our business principles of providing high quality and safe products to our consumers and promoting social responsibility. We believe that our pursuit of these goals will lead to sustainable growth driven by our PRCMainland China subsidiary’s capacity expansion based on market demand, solidify our position in the industry, and create long-term value for our shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.

Competition

The markets for touchscreen products are highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change. We believe that the principal competitive factors in its markets are product characteristics such as touch performance, durability, optical clarity and price, as well as supplier characteristics such as quality, service, delivery time and reputation. We believe that we compete favorably with respect to these factors, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to compete successfully in the future.

Despite that touchscreen products are highly competitive as a whole, we face fewer competitors, as we produce medium to large size touchscreens which are specially tailored to certain industries, such as industrial HMI, gaming, financing, lottery, automotive, medical, and POS, among others, and require more stable supply and longer guaranty and life span, compared with small size touchscreens, which are characterized by shorter life cycles and guaranty but more demand in quantity.

We believe the following companies may be our competitors:

Risk Factors Summary

Our business is subject to a number of risks. You should be aware of these risks before making an investment decision. These risks are discussed more fully in the section of this registration statement titled “Risk Factors”. These risks include, among others, the following:

We are a Nevada holding company with operations conducted by our subsidiary based in Mainland China and we may face risks and uncertainties in doing business in China (See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China”), including:

Recent Regulatory Developments

We face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties related to being based in and having all of our operations in Mainland China. The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a company with Mainland China-based operations, such as us, to conduct its business, accept foreign investments or list on an U.S. or other foreign exchanges. For example, we face risks associated with regulatory approvals of offshore offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory actions, as well as oversight on cybersecurity and data privacy. Such risks or any actions by the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers with Mainland China-based operations could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our common stock and/or other securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. In addition, the PRC government has significant authority, oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene with or influence the operations of our PRCMainland China subsidiary as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals. The PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities and foreign investment in companies with Mainland China-based operations like us. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless. For a detailed description of risks related to doing business in China, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China.”

On July 6, 2021, the relevant PRC government authorities published the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law. These opinions call for strengthened regulation over illegal securities activities and supervision on overseas listings by Mainland China-based companies and propose to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by Mainland China-based overseas-listed companies. On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Administrative Provisions”) and the Measures for the Overseas Issuance of Securities and Listing Record-Filings by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Filing Measures”, together with the Draft Administrative Provisions, the “Draft Rules”). The Draft Rules lay out the filing regulations for both direct and indirect overseas listings and clarify the determination criteria for indirect overseas listings in overseas markets. Among other requirements, if a domestic enterprise intends to indirectly offer and list securities in an overseas market, the record-filing obligation shall be completed within three working days after the overseas listing application is submitted. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Administrative Measures”), which will taketook effect on March 31, 2023. The Trial Administrative Measures further stipulate the rules and requirements for overseas offering and listing conducted by PRCMainland China domestic companies. UponOur PRC counsel has advised that because our common stock currently trades in the effectivenessU.S., we are not required to submit filings to the CSRC before this offering is completed and this offering is not conditioned on CSRC approval. Rather, within three days of the closing of this offering, we must submit filings to the CSRC in accordance with the Trial Administrative Measures. However, given that the Trial Administrative Measures we could be requiredwere recently promulgated, there remain substantial uncertainties as to go throughtheir interpretation, application, and enforcement and there is no guarantee that the filing procedure. If required, we cannot assure yourelevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion that we will be ableand our PRC counsel have reached. In addition, if we were to completefail to comply with the post-offering filing obligations imposed by the Trial Administrative Measures or make a misrepresentation, misleading statement or material omission in the materials we submit to the CSRC, the CSRC would have the right to order rectification, issue a warning and impose a fine on us of between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million and issuing a warning to the parties responsible for such processfailure, misrepresentation or material omission and impose a fine on time or at all.each of such individuals ranging from RMB 500,000 to RMB 5 million. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China.”

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, together with the Ministry of Finance, National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China, revised the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration for Overseas Securities Offering and Listing, which were issued by the CSRC and National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China in 2009, or the “Provisions.” The revised Provisions were issued under the title the “Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies,” and came into effect on March 31, 2023 together with the Trial Administrative Measures. One of the major revisions to the revised Provisions is expanding their application to cover indirect overseas offering and listing, as is consistent with the Trial Administrative Measures. The revised Provisions require that, among other things, (a) a domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals or entities, including securities companies, securities service providers, and overseas regulators, any documents and materials that contain state secrets or working secrets of government agencies, shall first obtain approval from competent authorities according to law, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level; and (b) a domestic company that plans to, either directly or indirectly through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals and entities, including securities companies, securities service providers, and overseas regulators, any other documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable national regulations. Any failure or perceived failure by our Company, or our subsidiary in Mainland China to comply with the above confidentiality and archives administration requirements under the revised Provisions and other PRC laws and regulations may result in the relevant entities being held legally liable by competent authorities, and referred to the judicial organ to be investigated for criminal liability if suspected of committing a crime.

In addition, on July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (Revision Draft for Comments), or the Measures, for public comments, which propose to authorize the relevant government authorities to conduct cybersecurity review on a range of activities that affect or may affect national security, including listings in foreign countries by companies that possess the personal data of more than one million users. On December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) were promulgated and became effective on February 15, 2022 (the “Measures”), which iterates that any “online platform operators” controlling personal information of more than one million users that seeks to list on a foreign stock exchange shall also be subject to cybersecurity review. As we are neither an “operator of critical information infrastructure” nor a “data processor” carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, we believe that the Measures are not applicable to us even after they take effect in current form. The PRC government is increasingly focused on data security, recently launching cybersecurity review against a number of mobile apps operated by several US-listed Chinese companies and prohibiting these apps from registering new users during the review period. There are great uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations regarding data and privacy security. We may be required to change our data and other business practices and be subject to regulatory investigations, penalties, and increased cost of operations as a result of these laws and policies. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China.”

For its operations, Sichuan Vtouch holds the required business license issued by the Wenjiang District Market Supervision Administration of Chengdu and has been registered with the Sichuan Provincial Development and Reform Commission for foreign investment projects in Sichuan Province. Sichuan Vtouch has also registered with the Jincheng Customs of the People’s Republic of Mainland China customs subordinate to Chengdu Customs for the record and registration of imported and exported goods.

Our business in Mainland China is subject to various pollution control regulations in Mainland China with respect to noise, water and air pollution and the disposal of waste. Specifically, the major environmental regulations applicable to us include the PRC Environmental Protection Law, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Water Pollution, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Solid Waste Pollution, and the PRC Law on the Prevention and Control of Noise Pollution. Our PRCMainland China subsidiary originally received the Pollutant Discharge Permit from Renshou County environmental protection agency, which expired on May 15, 2019. Pursuant to a Statement on Change of Pollutant Discharge Permit to Stationary Pollution Source Registration Form dated September 1, 2020, the environmental protection system in Renshou County, Sichuan, was changed from permission to registration due to local administrative division changes. Therefore, upon submission of all required documentation, our PRCMainland China subsidiary is registered under the new system by issuance of the Stationary Pollution Source Registration Form.

We believe that we and our subsidiaries have received all requisite permissions from Chinese authorities to operate our business, with material permissions and issueapprovals comprising the business license issued by the Wenjiang District Market Supervision Administration of Chengdu to our common stockMainland China operating subsidiary Sichuan Vtouch, the registration of Sichuan Vtouch under the Stationary Pollution Source Registration Form, and the regulations stated in the “Regulations” section on page 65 of this prospectus, and no such permissions have been denied. As of the date of this prospectus, we are not aware of any PRC laws or regulations in effect requiring that we or our subsidiary in Mainland China obtain permission from any PRC authorities to offer securities being registered to foreign investors, other than the filing requirements under the Trial Administrative Measures, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanction from the CSRC or any other PRC authorities that have jurisdiction over our operations. If we or our subsidiaries do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, we may incur significant costs and delays in attempting to obtain such approvals or, if we are unable to obtain such approvals, we may not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchanges nor continue to offer securities to investors, which could materially affect the interest of the investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Regulations” on page 6865 and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Adverse regulatory developments in Mainland China may subject us to additional regulatory review and expose us to government restrictions, and additional disclosure requirements and regulatory scrutiny to be adopted by the SEC in response to risks related to recent regulatory developments in Mainland China may impose additional compliance requirements for companies with significant Mainland China-based operations, all of which could increase our compliance costs, subject us to additional disclosure requirements, and/or suspend or terminate our future securities offerings, making capital-raising more difficult” on page 17.12.

In addition, our common stock may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) is unable to inspect our auditor for three consecutive years. Our auditor is headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado, United States, and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, and it is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. If the PCAOB determines in the future that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, trading in our common stock would be prohibited under the HFCA Act. On August 26, 2022, the SEC issued a statement announcing that the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (“SOP”) with the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in Mainland China and Hong Kong, jointly agreeing on the need for a framework. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it has secured complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate the previous Determination Report to the contrary. On December 29, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in mainlandMainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed. If the PCAOB in the future again determines that it is unable to inspect and investigate completely auditors in Mainland China and Hong Kong, then the companies audited by those auditors would be subject to a trading prohibition on U.S. markets pursuant to the HFCA Act and/or the AHFCAA. These recent developments could also add uncertainties to this Underwritten Offering and we cannot assure you that the NASDAQ Capital Market or regulatory authorities would not apply additional or more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in China—Recent joint statement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the newly enacted Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to the trading of our common stock on U.S. stock exchanges, including the possibility that our securities can be delisted if the PCAOB cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.”

Transfer of Cash and Other Assets

We, as an offshore holding company, are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to provide funding to our PRCMainland China subsidiary only through loans or capital contributions. Subject to satisfaction of applicable government registration and approval requirements, we may extend inter-company loans to our PRCMainland China subsidiary or make additional capital contributions to our PRCMainland China subsidiary to fund their capital expenditures or working capital. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain these government registrations or approvals on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, although we currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business, and we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Chinese subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements. Our PRCMainland China subsidiary may be permitted to pay dividends only out of its accumulated profits. However, such PRCMainland China subsidiary is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, after making up for previous year’s accumulated losses, if any, to fund certain statutory reserves, until the aggregate amount of such funds reaches 50% of its registered capital. This portion of such PRCMainland China subsidiary’s respective net assets are prohibited from being distributed to its shareholders as dividends.

Renminbi is not freely convertible into other currencies. As result, any restriction on currency exchange may limit the ability of our Chinese subsidiaries to use their potential future renminbi revenues to pay dividends to us. The Chinese government imposes controls on the convertibility of renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of Mainland China. Shortages in availability of foreign currency may then restrict the ability of our Chinese subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to our offshore entities for our offshore entities to pay dividends or make other payments or otherwise to satisfy our foreign-currency-denominated obligations. The Chinese government may continue to strengthen its capital controls, and additional restrictions and substantial vetting processes may be instituted by SAFE for cross-border transactions. Any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in renminbi to pay dividends in foreign currencies to holders of our securities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our subsidiaries.

Additionally, a 10% PRCMainland China withholding tax is applicable to dividends payable to investors that are non-resident enterprises. Any gain realized on the transfer of securities by such investors is also subject to PRCMainland China tax at a current rate of 10%, which, in the case of dividends, will be withheld at source if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC.Mainland China. Further, if any of our Chinese subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us.

To date, there have not been any cash flows, transfers of other assets, dividends or other distributions among us and any of our subsidiaries. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries have ever paid dividends or made distributions to U.S. investors. In the future, cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities, including this Underwritten Offering, may be transferred by us to our Chinese subsidiaries via capital contribution or loans, as the case may be. As of the date of this prospectus, Wetouch, BVI Wetouch, HK Wetouch and Sichuan Vtouch have not adopted or maintained any cash management policies and procedures that dictate how funds are transferred.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the other information in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes. In addition, we may face additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or which as of the date of this registration statement we might not consider significant, which may adversely affect our business.

In such case the trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks or uncertainties, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

The current COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other epidemics, natural disasters, terrorist activities, political unrest, and other outbreaks could disrupt our delivery and operations, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The current COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected many aspects of our business, including production, supply chain, and sales and delivery in 2020. Our PRCMainland China subsidiary’s manufacturing facility underwent temporary yet prolonged closure in February 2020 as part of Mainland China’s nationwide efforts to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus. Commencing in the spring of 2021, China began to experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, and to some extent, local government and the national government began to take more restrictive measures to stem the spread of the virus, particularly from October 2021 to December 2021 and various periods in 2022. The Company experienced several shutdowns until the period end March 31, 2023.

Even though our business is currently operational, our PRCMainland China subsidiary’s production capacity, delivery, warranty services including after-sale services and technical support, and operational efficiency are still adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic due to insufficient workforce in production, sales, and delivery as a result of temporary travel restrictions in Mainland China and the necessity to comply with disease control protocols in our business establishments and manufacturing facility. Our suppliers’ abilities to timely deliver raw materials, parts and components, or other services were also adversely affected for similar reasons. The global spread of COVID-19 may also affect our overseas sales. As a result of varying levels of travel and other restrictions for public health concerns in various regions of Mainland China, our PRCMainland China subsidiary also temporarily postponed the delivery of our products to our customers. While the duration of the impact of the pandemic on our business and related financial impacts cannot be reasonably estimated at this time, our results of operations for the first half of 2020 were adversely affected with potential continuing impact on subsequent periods. In addition, further outbreaks of the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our PRCMainland China subsidiary’s manufacturing ability, our PRCMainland China subsidiary’s delivery and after-sale services in Mainland China. COVID-19 has had a global economic impact on the financial markets. The global spread of COVID-19 pandemic may result in global economic distress, and the extent to which it may affect our results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. We cannot assure you that the COVID-19 pandemic can be eliminated or contained in the near future, or at all, or a similar outbreak will not occur again. If the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting disruption to our business were to extend over a prolonged period, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition, global pandemics, epidemics in Mainland China or elsewhere in the world, or fear of spread of contagious diseases, such as Ebola virus disease (EVD), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), H1N1 flu, H7N9 flu, and avian flu, as well as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, or other natural disasters could also disrupt our business operations, reduce or restrict our supply of products and services, incur significant costs to protect our employees and facilities, or result in regional or global economic distress, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Actual or threatened war, terrorist activities, political unrest, civil strife, and other geopolitical uncertainty could have a similar adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any one or more of these events may impede our production and delivery efforts and adversely affect our sales results, or even for a prolonged period of time, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are also vulnerable to natural disasters and other calamities. We cannot assure you that we are adequately protected from the effects of fire, floods, typhoons, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins, war, riots, terrorist attacks, or similar events. Any of the foregoing events may give rise to interruptions, damage to our property, delays in production, breakdowns, system failures, technology platform failures, or internet failures, which could cause the loss or corruption of data or malfunctions of our manufacturing facility as well as adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are heavily dependent on our top customers. If we fail to acquire new customers or retain existing customers in a cost-effective manner, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We are heavily dependent on our top customers. We currently sell our products primarily through direct customers in the PRCMainland China and to some extent, the overseas customers in European countries and East Asia such as South Korea and Taiwan. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2023, six customers accounted for 22.3%, 15.7%, 15.0%, 14.2%, 12.2% and 10.8%. For the year ended December 31, 2022, three customers accounted for 32.2%, 22.8%, and 14.0% of the total accounts receivable balance, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, our top fivesix customers accounted for an aggregate25.7%, 18.6%, 12.5%, 11.5%, 11.3% and 10.2% of approximately 79.6% and 73.31%, respectively, of our revenues.the total accounts receivable balance, respectively.

Our ability to cost-effectively attract new customers and retain existing customers, especially our top customers, is crucial to driving net revenues growth and achieving profitability. We have invested significantly in branding, sales and marketing to acquire and retain customers since our inception. For example, we attend domestic and international expos and exhibitions in marketing our products and attracting new customers. We also expect to continue to invest significantly to acquire new customers and retain existing ones, especially our top customers. There can be no assurance that new customers will stay with us, or the net revenues from new customers we acquire will ultimately exceed the cost of acquiring those customers. In addition, if our existing customers, especially our existing top customers no longer find our products appealing, or if our competitors offer more attractive products, prices, discounts or better customer services, our existing customers may lose interest in us, decrease their orders or even stop ordering from us. If we are unable to retain our existing customers, especially our top customers or to acquire new customers in a cost-effective manner, our revenues may decrease and our results of operations will be adversely affected.

We have a significant amount of accounts receivable, which could become uncollectible.

As of DecemberMarch 31, 2021,2023, we had approximately $7.9$13.1 million in net accounts receivable. Our accounts receivable primarily includes balance due from customers when our products are sold and delivered to customers. Our customers are required to make full payment within three to five months from delivery date, although our industry typical payment term is 180 days from delivery. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak in January 2020, collection activities from some of our customers affected by the pandemic resulted in longer payment terms. We impliedly granted extended payment terms until December 31, 2020 to some of our customers. As of December 31, 2020, we collected all overdue accounts receivable and resumed our typical payment term. Deteriorating conditions in, bankruptcies, or financial difficulties of a customer or within their industries generally may impair the financial condition of our customers and hinder their ability to pay us on a timely basis or at all, and accounts receivable are written off against allowances only after exhaustive collection efforts. The failure or delay in payment by one or more of our customers could reduce our cash flows and adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations.

Failure to maintain the quality and safety of our products could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

The quality and safety of our products are critical to our success. We pay close attention to quality control, monitoring each step in the process from procurement to production and from warehouse to delivery. Yet, maintaining consistent product quality depends significantly on the effectiveness of our quality control system, which in turn depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to the design of our quality control system, employee training to ensure that our employees adhere to and implement our quality control policies and procedures and the effectiveness of monitoring any potential violation of our quality control policies and procedures. There can be no assurance that our quality control system will always prove to be effective.

In addition, the quality of the products or services provided by our suppliers or service providers is subject to factors beyond our control, including the effectiveness and the efficiency of their quality control system, among others. There can be no assurance that our suppliers or service providers may always be able to adopt appropriate quality control systems and meet our stringent quality control requirements in respect of the products or services they provide. Any failure of our suppliers or service providers to provide satisfactory products or services could harm our reputation and adversely impact our operations. In addition, we may be unable to receive sufficient compensation from suppliers and service providers for the losses caused by them.

We face intense competition in the touchscreen industry in general. If we fail to compete effectively, we may lose market share and customers, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

The touchscreen industry is intensely competitive in general. We face few competition as we produce medium to large size capacitive touchscreens which are specially tailored to certain industries, such as industrial HMI, gaming, financing, lottery, automotive, medical, and POS, etc., and requires more stable supply, longer guaranty and life span, compared with small size touchscreens which is characteristic with shorter life cycle and guaranty but more demand in quantity. However, we still have some competitors competing in Mainland China and globally with us. Our competitors may have more financial, technical, geographical advantage, marketing and other resources than we do and may be more experienced and able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and support of their business. Some competitors are well-established in Mainland China and globally and any defensive measures they take in response to our expansion could hinder our growth and adversely affect our sales and results of operations.

Furthermore, increased competition may reduce our market share and profitability and require us to increase our sales and marketing efforts and capital commitment in the future, which could negatively affect our results of operations or force us to incur further losses. Although we have accumulated some and continuously growing our customer base, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to do so in the future against current or future competitors, and such competitive pressures may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we do not obtain substantial additional financing, our ability to execute on our business plan as outlined in this prospectus will be impaired.

Due to the withdrawal of the land use right to the Property and cancellation of our ownership certificates pertaining to the buildings on the Property by the local government pursuant to the Guidelines and the Compensation Agreement, we are actively searching for an appropriate parcel in Chengdu Medicine City (Technology Park), Wenjiang District, Chengdu for the construction of our PRCMainland China subsidiary’s new production facilities and office buildings. As of the date of this prospectus, our management estimates that our capital needs for this acquisition and construction will be approximately RMB170.0 million ($26.2 million), but there is no assurance that the estimated amount is sufficient to achieve our goals. We may need additional financing for our business development.

In addition, our plans call for significant new investments in research and development, marketing, expanded productions capacity, and working capital for raw materials and other items. Should our capital needs be higher than our estimation, we will be required to seek additional investments, loans or debt financing to fully pursue our business plans. Such additional investment may not be available to us on terms which are favorable or acceptable. Should we be unable to meet our full capital needs, our ability to fully implement our business plan will be impaired.

Failure to secure a new piece of parcel for the construction of our new buildings and facilities, and failure to acquire and install new production lines on the new parcel, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

As of the date of this prospectus, our use right to the Property was withdrawn by the local government and all ownership certificates pertaining to the buildings on the Property were returned to the local government for cancellation.

In order to minimize the interruption of our business, Sichuan Vtouch entered into a Leaseback Agreement with Sichuan Renshou on March 16, 2021. The Leaseback Agreement entitles us to lease back the Properties commencing from April 1, 2021 until December 31, 2021, at a monthly rent of RMB300,000 (approximately $46,154), which period has been extended to October 31, 2022. On October 16, 2022, Sichuan Vtouch entered an extension to the Leaseback Agreement with Sichuan Renshou to extend the period it granted Sichuan Vtouch to lease back the Properties until October 31, 2023, at a monthly rent of RMB400,000 (approximately $59,941).

As of the date of this prospectus, we are actively searching for an appropriate parcel in Chengdu Medicine City (Technology Park), Wenjiang District, Chengdu for the construction of our new production facilities and office buildings. We estimate the acquisition of the new parcel and new production lines and construction of the new facilities and office buildings on the new parcel will be completed prior to October 31, 2023, but there is no assurance and we may need extended time to achieve our business plan. If we fail to secure such acquisition and construction prior to October 31, 2023 and the extended period, if any, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Any adjustment of related party transaction pricing could lead to additional taxes, and therefore substantially reduce our consolidated net income and the value of your investment.

The tax regime in Mainland China is rapidly evolving and there is significant uncertainty for taxpayers in Mainland China as PRC tax laws may be interpreted in significantly different ways. The PRC tax authorities may assert that we or our subsidiaries owe and/or are required to pay additional taxes on previous or future revenue or income. In particular, under applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations, arrangements and transactions among related parties may be subject to audit or challenge by the PRC tax authorities. If the PRC tax authorities determine that any contractual arrangements were not entered into on an arm’s length basis and therefore constitute a favorable transfer pricing, the PRC tax liabilities of the relevant subsidiaries could be increased, which could increase our overall tax liabilities. In addition, the PRC tax authorities may impose late payment interest. Our net income may be materially reduced if our tax liabilities increase.

If our preferential tax treatments and government subsidies are revoked or become unavailable or if the calculation of our tax liability is successfully challenged by the PRC tax authorities, we may be required to pay tax, interest and penalties in excess of our tax provisions.

The Chinese government has provided tax incentives to our former subsidiary in Mainland China, Sichuan Wetouch, including reduced enterprise income tax rates. For example, under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, the statutory enterprise income tax rate is 25%. However, the income tax of an enterprise that has been determined to be a qualified enterprise located in western region of PRCMainland China can be reduced to a preferential rate of 15%. The qualification of preferential tax rate is effective for a renewable three-year permitted. As we have dissolved Sichuan Wetouch, and its business and operations have been assumed by our PRCMainland China subsidiary Sichuan Vtouch, Sichuan Vtouch has reapplied for the preferential rate of 15% as a qualified enterprise. Such application is currently pending with the PRC tax authorities. If our PRCMainland China subsidiary’s application for the qualification of preferential tax rate benefit is not approved, our PRC subsidiary will be subject to the statutory enterprise income tax rate of 25%. Further, in the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to complex income tax and other tax regulations, and significant judgment is required in the determination of a provision for income taxes. Although we believe our tax provisions are reasonable, if the PRC tax authorities successfully challenge our position and we are required to pay tax, interest, and penalties in excess of our tax provisions, our financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

A significant interruption in the operations of our third-party suppliers could potentially disrupt our operations.

We have limited control over the operations of our third-party suppliers and other business partners and any significant interruption in their operations may have an adverse impact on our operations. For example, a significant interruption in the operations of our supplier’s manufacturing facilities could cause delay or termination of shipment of the raw materials to our PRCMainland China subsidiary, which may cause delay or termination of shipment of our products to our customers, thus resulting in penalties or fines due to our breach of contract. If we could not solve the impact of the interruptions of operations of our third-party suppliers, our business operations and financial results may be materially and adversely affected.

We face the risk of fluctuations in the cost, availability and quality of our raw materials, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

The cost, availability and quality of the raw materials, such as indium tin oxide glasses, panels, are important to our operations. If the cost of raw materials increases due to large market price fluctuation or due to any other reason, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Lack of availability of these raw materials, whether due to shortages in supply, delays or interruptions in processing, failure of timely delivery or otherwise, could interrupt our operations and adversely affect our financial results.

We are dependent upon key executives and highly qualified managers and we cannot assure their retention.

Our success depends, in part, upon the continued services of key members of our management. Our executives’ and managers’ knowledge of the market, our business and our Company represents a key strength of our business, which cannot be easily replicated. The success of our business strategy and our future growth also depend on our ability to attract, train, retain and motivate skilled managerial, sales, administration, development and operating personnel.

There can be no assurance that our existing personnel will be adequate or qualified to carry out our strategy, or that we will be able to hire or retain experienced, qualified employees to carry out our strategy. The loss of one or more of our key management or operating personnel, or the failure to attract and retain additional key personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We do not have long-term contracts with our suppliers and they can reduce order quantities or terminate their sales to us at any time.

Our PRCMainland China subsidiary does not have long term contracts with our suppliers. At any time, our suppliers can reduce the quantities of products they sell to our PRCMainland China subsidiary, or cease selling products to our PRCMainland China subsidiary altogether. Such reductions or terminations could have a material adverse impact on our revenues, profits and financial condition.

If we fail to adopt new technologies to evolving customer needs or emerging industry standards, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

To remain competitive, we must continue to stay abreast of the constantly evolving industry trends and to enhance and improve our technology accordingly. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to identify, develop, acquire or license leading technologies useful in our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to use new technologies effectively or meet customer’s requirements. If we are unable to adapt in a cost-effective and timely manner in response to changing market conditions or customer preferences, whether for technical, legal, financial or other reasons, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We may experience significant liability claims or complaints from customers, or adverse publicity involving our products and our services.

We face an inherent risk of liability claims or complaints from our customers. We take our customers’ complaints seriously and endeavor to reduce such complaints by implementing various remedial measures. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that we can successfully prevent or address all customer complaints.

Any complaints or claims against us, even if meritless and unsuccessful, may divert management attention and other resources from our business and adversely affect our business and operations. Customers may lose confidence in us and our brand, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations. Furthermore, negative publicity including but not limited to negative online reviews on social media and crowd-sourced review platforms, industry findings or media reports related to safety and quality of our products, whether or not accurate, and whether or not concerning our products, can adversely affect our business, results of operations and reputation.

PRC regulations relating to the establishment of offshore special purpose companies by PRCMainland China residents may subject our PRCMainland China resident beneficial owners or our PRCMainland China subsidiary to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into our PRCMainland China subsidiary, limit our PRCMainland China subsidiary’ ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits to us, or may otherwise adversely affect us.

In July 2014, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment Through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, to replace the Notice on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Residents’ Financing and Roundtrip Investment Through Offshore Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 75, which ceased to be effective upon the promulgation of SAFE Circular 37. SAFE Circular 37 requires PRCMainland China residents (including PRCMainland China individuals and PRCMainland China corporate entities) to register with SAFE or its local branches in connection with their direct or indirect offshore investment activities. SAFE Circular 37 is applicable to our shareholders who are PRCMainland China residents and may be applicable to any offshore acquisitions that we make in the future.

Under SAFE Circular 37, PRCMainland China residents who make, or have prior to the implementation of SAFE Circular 37 made, direct or indirect investments in offshore special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, will be required to register such investments with SAFE or its local branches. In addition, any PRCMainland China resident who is a direct or indirect shareholder of an SPV is required to update its filed registration with the local branch of SAFE with respect to that SPV, to reflect any material change. Moreover, any subsidiary of such SPV in Mainland China is required to urge the PRCMainland China resident shareholders to update their registration with the local branch of SAFE. If any PRCMainland China shareholder of such SPV fails to make the required registration or to update the previously filed registration, the subsidiary of such SPV in Mainland China may be prohibited from distributing its profits or the proceeds from any capital reduction, share transfer or liquidation to the SPV, and the SPV may also be prohibited from making additional capital contributions into its subsidiary in Mainland China. On February 13, 2015, the SAFE promulgated a Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment, or SAFE Notice 13, which became effective on June 1, 2015. Under SAFE Notice 13, applications for foreign exchange registration of inbound foreign direct investments and outbound overseas direct investments, including those required under SAFE Circular 37, will be filed with qualified banks instead of SAFE. The qualified banks will directly examine the applications and accept registrations under the supervision of SAFE.

Some of our shareholders that we are aware of are subject to SAFE regulations, and we expect all of these shareholders will have completed all necessary registrations with the local SAFE branch or qualified banks as required by SAFE Circular 37. We cannot assure you, however, that all of these shareholders may continue to make required filings or updates in a timely manner, or at all. We can provide no assurance that we are or will in the future continue to be informed of identities of all PRCMainland China residents holding direct or indirect interest in our company. Any failure or inability by such shareholders to comply with SAFE regulations may subject us to fines or legal sanctions, such as restrictions on our cross-border investment activities or our PRCMainland China subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to, or obtain foreign exchange-denominated loans from, our company or prevent us from making distributions or paying dividends. As a result, our business operations and our ability to make distributions to you could be materially and adversely affected.

Furthermore, as these foreign exchange regulations are still relatively new and their interpretation and implementation have been constantly evolving, it is unclear how these regulations, and any future regulation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant government authorities. For example, we may be subject to a more stringent review and approval process with respect to our foreign exchange activities, such as remittance of dividends and foreign-currency-denominated borrowings, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we decide to acquire a PRCMainland China domestic company, we cannot assure you that we or the owners of such company, as the case may be, will be able to obtain the necessary approvals or complete the necessary filings and registrations required by the foreign exchange regulations. This may restrict our ability to implement our acquisition strategy and could adversely affect our business and prospects.

As of the date of this prospectus, the PRCMainland China residents have either not completed, or have not applied for, foreign exchange registration under the SAFE Circular 37 and other related rules. Although they are either in the process of making foreign exchange registration or plan to make foreign exchange registrations, they may still face with the above said possible fines in accordance with the PRC Laws.

We have no business liability or disruption insurance, which could expose us to significant costs and business disruption.

The insurance industry in Mainland China is still at an early stage of development, and insurance companies in Mainland China currently offer limited business-related insurance products. We do not have any business liability or disruption insurance to cover our operations. We have determined that the costs of insuring for these risks and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. Any uninsured risks may result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We may incur liabilities that are not covered by insurance.

While we seek to maintain appropriate levels of insurance, not all claims are insurable and we may experience major incidents of a nature that are not covered by insurance. We do not have other insurances that cover, among other things, employee-related accidents and injuries, product or business liability and other property damage and liability deriving from our activities. Furthermore, insurance companies in Mainland China currently do not offer as extensive an array of insurance products as insurance companies in more developed economies. We have determined that the costs of insuring for these risks and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical for us to have such insurance. We maintain an amount of insurance protection that we believe is adequate, but there can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available on acceptable terms or that our insurance coverage will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances and against all liabilities to which we may be subject. If we were to incur substantial losses or liabilities due to fire, explosions, floods, other natural disasters or accidents or business interruption, our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We could, for example, be subject to substantial claims for damages upon the occurrence of several events within one calendar year. In addition, our insurance costs may increase over time in response to any negative development in our claims history or due to material price increases in the insurance market in general.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

Adverse regulatory developments in Mainland China may subject us to additional regulatory review and expose us to government restrictions, and additional disclosure requirements and regulatory scrutiny to be adopted by the SEC in response to risks related to recent regulatory developments in Mainland China may impose additional compliance requirements for companies with significant Mainland China-based operations, all of which could increase our compliance costs, subject us to additional disclosure requirements, and/or suspend or terminate our future securities offerings, making capital-raising more difficult.

As substantially all of our operations are based in Mainland China, we are subject to a wide range of relevant PRC laws. The recent regulatory developments in Mainland China, in particular with respect to restrictions on Mainland China-based companies raising capital offshore and the government-led cybersecurity reviews of certain companies, may lead to additional regulatory review in Mainland China over our financing and capital raising activities in the United States. In addition, we may become subject to industry-wide regulations that may be adopted by the relevant PRCMainland China authorities, which may have the effect of limiting our product and service offerings, restricting the scope of our operations in Mainland China, or causing the suspension or termination of our business operations in Mainland China entirely, all of which will materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may have to adjust, modify, or completely change our business operations in response to adverse regulatory changes or policy developments, and we cannot assure you that any remedial action adopted by us can be completed in a timely, cost-efficient, or liability-free manner or at all.

On July 6, 2021, the relevant PRC government authorities published the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law. These opinions call for strengthened regulation over illegal securities activities and supervision on overseas listings by Mainland China-based companies and propose to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by Mainland China-based overseas-listed companies. On December 24, 2021, the CSRC released the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Administrative Provisions”) and the Measures for the Overseas Issuance of Securities and Listing Record-Filings by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Filing Measures”, together with the Draft Administrative Provisions, the “Draft Rules”). The Draft Rules lay out the filing regulations for both direct and indirect overseas listings and clarify the determination criteria for indirect overseas listings in overseas markets. Among other requirements, if a domestic enterprise intends to indirectly offer and list securities in an overseas market, the record-filing obligation shall be completed within three working days after the overseas listing application is submitted. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Administrative Measures”), which will taketook effect on March 31, 2023. The Trial Administrative Measures further stipulate the rules and requirements for overseas offering and listing conducted by PRCMainland China domestic companies. UponOur PRC counsel has advised that because our common stock currently trades in the effectivenessU.S., we are not required to submit filings to the CSRC before this offering is completed and this offering is not conditioned on CSRC approval. Rather, within three days of the closing of this offering, we must submit filings to the CSRC in accordance with the Trial Administrative Measures. However, given that the Trial Administrative Measures we will be requiredwere recently promulgated, there remain substantial uncertainties as to go throughtheir interpretation, application, and enforcement and there is no guarantee that the filing procedure. We cannot assure yourelevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion that we will be ableand our PRC counsel have reached. In addition, if we were to completefail to comply with the post-offering filing obligations imposed by the Trial Administrative Measures or make a misrepresentation, misleading statement or material omission in the materials we submit to the CSRC, the CSRC would have the right to order rectification, issue a warning and impose a fine on us of between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million and issuing a warning to the parties responsible for such processfailure, misrepresentation or material omission and impose a fine on time or at all.each of such individuals ranging from RMB 500,000 to RMB 5 million.

On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (Revision Draft for Comments), or the Measures, for public comments, which propose to authorize the relevant government authorities to conduct cybersecurity review on a range of activities that affect or may affect national security, including listings in foreign countries by companies that possess the personal data of more than one million users. On December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) were promulgated and became effective on February 15, 2022 (the “Measures”), which iterates that any “online platform operators” controlling personal information of more than one million users that seeks to list on a foreign stock exchange shall also be subject to cybersecurity review. As we are neither an “operator of critical information infrastructure” nor a “data processor” carrying out data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, we believe that the Measures are not applicable to us even after they take effect in current form. The PRC government is increasingly focused on data security, recently launching cybersecurity review against a number of mobile apps operated by several US-listed Chinese companies and prohibiting these apps from registering new users during the review period. There are great uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations regarding data and privacy security. We may be required to change our data and other business practices and be subject to regulatory investigations, penalties, and increased cost of operations as a result of these laws and policies.

On July 30, 2021, in response to the recent regulatory developments in China and actions adopted by the PRC government, the Chairman of the SEC issued a statement asking the SEC staff to seek additional disclosures from offshore issuers associated with China-based operating companies before their registration statements will be declared effective, including whether the China-based operating company and the issuer, when applicable, received or were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges and the risks that such approval could be denied or rescinded. On August 1, 2021, the China Securities Regulatory Commission stated in a statement that it had taken note of the new disclosure requirements announced by the SEC regarding the listings of Chinese companies and the recent regulatory development in China, and that both countries should strengthen communications on regulating China-related issuers. We are subject to a variety of PRC laws and may be subject to tightened regulatory review and exposed to government restrictions in Mainland China. In light of the recent regulatory and policy developments in Mainland China and government actions taken by the PRC government, including possible imposition of restrictions and/or approval requirements on Mainland China-based companies raising capital offshore, the offering of our securities may be subject to additional disclosure requirements and review that the SEC or other regulatory authorities in the United States may adopt for companies with Mainland China-based operations.

Upon the effectiveness of the Trial Administrative Measures, we could be subject to the Trial Administrative Measures, as the Company has: (i) 50% or more 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 accounting year is accounted for by PRCMainland China domestic companies; and (ii) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in mainlandMainland China, or its main places of business are located in mainlandMainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainlandMainland China; and, if required, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete such process on time or at all.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Administrative Measures”), which will taketook effect on March 31, 2023. Compared to the Draft Rules, the Trial Administrative Measures further clarified and emphasized several aspects, including: (i) comprehensive determination of the “indirect overseas offering and listing by PRCMainland China domestic companies” in compliance with the principle of “substance over form” and particularly, an issuer will be required to go through the filing procedures under the Trial Administrative Measures if the following criteria are met at the same time: a) 50% or more 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 accounting year is accounted for by PRCMainland China domestic companies, and b) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in mainlandMainland China, or its main places of business are located in mainlandMainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in mainlandMainland China; (ii) exemptions from immediate filing requirements for issuers that a) have already been listed or registered but not yet listed in foreign securities markets, including U.S. markets, prior to the effective date of the Trial Administrative Measures, and b) are not required to re-perform the regulatory procedures with the relevant overseas regulatory authority or the overseas stock exchange, c) whose such overseas securities offering or listing shall be completed before September 30, 2023. However, such issuers shall carry out filing procedures as required if they conduct refinancing or are involved in other circumstances that require filing with the CSRC; (iii) a negative list of types of issuers banned from listing overseas, such as issuers under investigation for bribery and corruption; (iv) regulation of issuers in specific industries; (v) issuers’ compliance with national security measures and the personal data protection laws; and (vi) certain other matters such as: an issuer must file with the CSRC within three business days after it submits an application for initial public offering to competent overseas regulators; and subsequent reports shall be filed with the CSRC on material events, including change of control or voluntary or forced delisting of the issuer(s) who have completed overseas offerings and listings. AccordingOur PRC counsel has advised that because our common stock currently trades in the U.S., we are not required to submit filings to the Relevant OfficialsCSRC before this offering is completed and this offering is not conditioned on CSRC approval. Rather, within three days of the CSRC Answered Reporter Questions (“CSRC Answers”) and Trial Administrative Measures, upon effectiveness, as a company applying for listing on Nasdaq,closing of this offering, we could be subjectmust submit filings to the filing process if (i) we cannot obtain the clearance from SEC or Nasdaq before the effective date ofCSRC in accordance with the Trial Administrative Measures; or (ii) after we obtain the clearance from SEC or Nasdaq before the effective date ofMeasures. However, given that the Trial Administrative Measures were recently promulgated, there remain substantial uncertainties as to their interpretation, application, and enforcement and there is no guarantee that the relevant PRC government agencies, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion that we cannot completeand our PRC counsel have reached. In addition, if we were to fail to comply with the overseas listing before September 30, 2023. Aspost-offering filing obligations imposed by the Trial Administrative Measures are newly issued, there remains uncertainty asor make a misrepresentation, misleading statement or material omission in the materials we submit to how it will be interpreted or implemented. Therefore, we cannot assure you that when the Company is subject to such filing requirements, or we will be able to obtain clearance from the CSRC, inthe CSRC would have the right to order rectification, issue a timely fashionwarning and impose a fine on us of between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million and issuing a warning to the parties responsible for such failure, misrepresentation or at all.material omission and impose a fine on each of such individuals ranging from RMB 500,000 to RMB 5 million.

Recent joint statement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the newly enacted Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to the trading of our common stock on U.S. stock exchanges, including the possibility that our securities can be delisted if the PCAOB cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.

On April 21, 2020, the SEC Chairman and PCAOB Chairman, along with other senior SEC staff, released a joint statement highlighting the risks associated with investing in companies based in or have substantial operations in emerging markets including China. The joint statement emphasized the risks associated with lack of access for the PCAOB to inspect auditors and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in emerging markets.

On May 18, 2020, Nasdaq filed three proposals with the SEC to (1) apply minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating in “Restrictive Market,” (2) adopt a new requirement relating to the qualification of management or board of director for Restrictive Market companies, and (3) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the qualifications of the company’s auditor.

On June 4, 2020, the U.S. President issued a memorandum ordering the President’s working group on financial markets to submit a report to the President within 60 days of the date of the memorandum that should include recommendations for actions that can be taken by the executive branch and by the SEC or PCAOB to enforce U.S. regulatory requirements on Chinese companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges and their audit firms. However, it remains unclear what further actions, if any, the U.S. executive branch, the SEC, and PCAOB will take to address the problem.

On August 6, 2020, the President’s working group released a report recommending that the SEC take steps to implement the five recommendations outlined in the report. In particular, to address companies from jurisdictions that do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to fulfill its statutory mandate, the President’s working group recommended enhanced listing standards on U.S. stock exchanges. This would require, as a condition to initial and continued exchange listing, PCAOB access to work papers of the principal audit firm for the audit of the listed company. Companies unable to satisfy this standard as a result of governmental restrictions on access to audit work papers and practices in their jurisdiction may satisfy this standard by providing a co-audit from an audit firm with comparable resources and experience where the PCAOB determines it has sufficient access to audit work papers and practices to conduct an appropriate inspection of the co-audit firm. The report permits the new listing standards to provide for a transition period until January 1, 2022 for listed companies, but would apply immediately to new listings once the necessary rulemakings and/or standard-setting are effective.

On August 10, 2020, the SEC announced that the SEC Chairman had directed the SEC staff to prepare proposals in response to the report of the President’s working group, and that the SEC was soliciting public comments and information with respect to the development of these proposals.

On May 20, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the Act. The Act was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives on December 2, 2020. On December 18, 2020, the Act was signed into public law by the President of the United States. In essence, the Act requires the SEC to prohibit foreign companies from listing securities on U.S. securities exchanges if a company retains a foreign accounting firm that cannot be inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, beginning in 2021. On March 24, 2021, the SEC announced that it had adopted interim final amendments to implement congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the Act. The interim final amendments will apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report on Forms 10-K, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and on December 29, 2022 the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.

On December 2, 2021, the SEC adopted 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 a foreign jurisdiction.

On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and in Hong Kong because of positions taken by PRCMainland China and Hong Kong authorities in those jurisdictions. The PCAOB has made such designations as mandated under the HFCA Act. Pursuant to each annual determination by the PCAOB, the SEC will, on an annual basis, identify issuers that have used non-inspected audit firms and thus are at risk of such suspensions in the future.

On August 26, 2022, the SEC issued a statement announcing that the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (“SOP”) with the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in Mainland China and Hong Kong, jointly agreeing on the need for a framework.

On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it has secured complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate the previous Determination Report to the contrary.

Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States, pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor is headquartered in Lakewood, Colorado and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis.

The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in mainlandMainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed. If the PCAOB in the future again determines that it is unable to inspect and investigate completely auditors in Mainland China and Hong Kong, then the companies audited by those auditors would be subject to a trading prohibition on U.S. markets pursuant to the HFCA Act and/or the AHFCAA. These recent developments could also add uncertainties to this Underwritten Offering and we cannot assure you that the NASDAQ Capital Market or regulatory authorities would not apply additional or more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements.

PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRCMainland China entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of this Underwritten Offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to our Chinese subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

We are an offshore holding company conducting our operations in Mainland China. We may make loans to our PRCMainland China subsidiaries to the approval, registration, and filing with governmental authorities and limitation of amount, or we may make additional capital contributions to our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in Mainland China. Any loans to our wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries in Mainland China, which are treated as foreign-invested enterprises under PRC law, are subject to foreign exchange loan registrations. In addition, a foreign invested enterprise shall use its capital pursuant to the principle of authenticity and self-use within its business scope. The capital of a foreign invested enterprise shall not be used for the following purposes: (i) directly or indirectly used for payment beyond the business scope of the enterprises or the payment prohibited by relevant laws and regulations; (ii) directly or indirectly used for investment in securities or investments other than banks’ principal-secured products unless otherwise provided by relevant laws and regulations; (iii) the granting of loans to non-affiliated enterprises, except where it is expressly permitted in the business license; and (iv) paying the expenses related to the purchase of real estate that is not for self-use (except for the foreign-invested real estate enterprises).

In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to and direct investment in PRCMainland China entities by offshore holding companies, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals or filings on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans by us to our Hong Kong or PRCMainland China subsidiaries or with respect to future capital contributions by us to our Hong Kong or PRCMainland China subsidiaries. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds from this Underwritten Offering and to capitalize or otherwise fund our Chinese operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.

Labor laws in the PRCMainland China may adversely affect our results of operations.

The PRC National People’s Congress promulgated the Labor Contract Law which became effective on January 1, 2008 and was amended on December 28, 2012, and the State Council promulgated implementing regulations for the labor contract law on September 18, 2008. The labor contract law and the implementing regulations impose requirements concerning, among others, the execution of written contracts between employers and employees, the time limits for probationary periods, and the length of employment contracts. The interpretation and implementation of these regulations are still evolving, our employment practices may violate the labor contract law and related regulations and we could be subject to penalties, fines or legal fees as a result. If we are subject to severe penalties or incur significant legal fees in connection with labor law disputes or investigations, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Further, the law requires certain terminations be based upon seniority and not merit. In the event that we decide to significantly change or decrease our workforce, the Labor Contract Law could adversely affect our ability to enact such changes in a manner that is most advantageous to our business or in a timely and cost-effective manner, thus materially and adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.

Non-compliance with labor-related laws and regulations of the PRCMainland China may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operation.

We have been subject to stricter regulatory requirements in terms of entering into labor contracts with our employees and paying various statutory employee benefits, including pensions, housing fund, medical insurance, work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and childbearing insurance to designated government agencies for the benefit of our employees. Pursuant to the PRC Labor Contract Law, or the Labor Contract Law, that became effective in January 2008 and its implementing regulations that became effective in September 2008 and was amended in July 2013, employers are subject to stricter requirements in terms of signing labor contracts, minimum wages, paying remuneration, determining the term of employees’ probation and unilaterally terminating labor contracts. In the event that we decide to terminate some of our employees or otherwise change our employment or labor practices, the Labor Contract Law and its implementation regulations may limit our ability to effect those changes in a desirable or cost-effective manner, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. We believe our current practice complies with the Labor Contract Law and its amendments. However, the relevant governmental authorities may take a different view and impose fines on us.

As the interpretation and implementation of labor-related laws and regulations are still evolving, we cannot assure you that our employment practice does not and will not violate labor-related laws and regulations in Mainland China, which may subject us to labor disputes or government investigations. If we are deemed to have violated relevant labor laws and regulations, we could be required to provide additional compensation to our employees and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption law.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We are also subject to Chinese anti-corruption laws, which strictly prohibit the payment of bribes to government officials. We have operations, agreements with third parties, and make sales in Mainland China, which may experience corruption. Our activities in Mainland China may create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one or more of the employees of our company, because such employees might act against our policies, outside of our control. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

Our business may be materially and adversely affected if our PRCMainland China subsidiary declares bankruptcy or becomes subject to a dissolution or liquidation proceeding.

The Enterprise Bankruptcy Law of the PRC, or the Bankruptcy Law, came into effect on June 1, 2007. The Bankruptcy Law provides that an enterprise will be liquidated if the enterprise fails to settle its debts as and when they fall due and if the enterprise’s assets are, or are demonstrably, insufficient to clear such debts.

Our PRC subsidiaries holdMainland China subsidiary holds certain assets that are important to our business operations. If our PRC subsidiaries undergoMainland China subsidiary undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of these assets, thereby hindering our ability to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

According to the SAFE’s Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Improving and Adjusting Foreign Exchange Administration Policies for Direct Investment, effective on December 17, 2012, and the Provisions for Administration of Foreign Exchange Relating to Inbound Direct Investment by Foreign Investors, effective May 13, 2013, if our PRCMainland China subsidiary undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation proceeding, prior approval from the SAFE for remittance of foreign exchange to our shareholders abroad is no longer required, but we still need to conduct a registration process with the SAFE local branch. It is not clear whether “registration” is a mere formality or involves the kind of substantive review process undertaken by SAFE and its relevant branches in the past.

Changes in China’s economic, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. The PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities and foreign investment in Mainland China-based companies like us. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless.

Substantially all of our assets and operations are located in Mainland China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in Mainland China generally. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the level of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in Mainland China is still owned by the government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies.

The PRC government has significant authority to exert influence on the ability of a Mainland China-based company, such as us, to conduct its business, accept foreign investments or list on an U.S. or other foreign exchanges. For example, we face risks associated with regulatory approvals of offshore offerings, anti-monopoly regulatory actions, as well as oversight on cybersecurity and data privacy. Such risks or any actions by the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in Mainland China-based issuers could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock or could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our common stock and/or other securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. The PRC government has significant authority, oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene with or influence our operations as the government deems appropriate to further regulatory, political and societal goals. The PRC government has recently published new policies that significantly affected certain industries such as the education and internet industries, and we cannot rule out the possibility that it will in the future release regulations or policies regarding our industry that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the PRC government has recently indicated an intent to exert more oversight and control over overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities and foreign investment in Mainland China-based companies like us. Any such action, once taken by the PRC government, could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or in extreme cases, become worthless.

The Chinese government also exercises significant control over Mainland China’s economic growth through allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. Any adverse changes in economic conditions in Mainland China, in the policies of the Chinese government or in the laws and regulations in Mainland China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of Mainland China. Such developments could adversely affect our business and operating results, lead to reduction in demand for our services and adversely affect our competitive position. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. In addition, in the past the Chinese government has implemented certain measures, including interest rate adjustment, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in China, which may adversely affect our business and operating results.

Uncertainties with respect to the PRC legal system, including uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and sudden and unexpected changes in laws and regulations in Mainland China, could adversely affect us and limit the legal protections available to you and us.

Our operations in Mainland China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. Our wholly foreign-owned PRCMainland China operating subsidiary Sichuan Vtouch is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in Mainland China. The PRCMainland China legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions under the civil law system may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. In addition, any new or changes in PRC laws and regulations related to foreign investment in Mainland China could affect the business environment and our ability to operate our business in Mainland China.

Since the PRC legal system continues to evolve rapidly, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to us. Uncertainties due to evolving laws and regulations could also impede the ability of a Mainland China-based company, such as our company, to obtain or maintain permits or licenses required to conduct business in Mainland China. In the absence of required permits or licenses, governmental authorities could impose material sanctions or penalties on us. In addition, some regulatory requirements issued by certain PRC government authorities may not be consistently applied by other PRC government authorities (including local government authorities), thus making strict compliance with all regulatory requirements impractical, or in some circumstances impossible.From time to time, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce our legal rights. Any administrative and court proceedings in Mainland China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Since PRCMainland China administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory provisions and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into and could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all and may have retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of any of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. Such unpredictability towards our contractual, property and procedural rights could adversely affect our business and impede our ability to continue our operations.

Furthermore, if Mainland China adopts more stringent standards with respect to environmental protection or corporate social responsibilities, we may incur increased compliance costs or become subject to additional restrictions in our operations. Intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Mainland China may also not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. In addition, we cannot predict the effects of future developments in the PRC legal system on our business operations, including the promulgation of new laws, or changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us and our investors, including you. Moreover, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources and management attention.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in China against us or our management based on foreign laws.

We are a company incorporated under the laws of the United States and we conduct substantially all of our operations in Mainland China. In addition, our officers and directors reside within Mainland China and are PRC nationals. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside mainlandMainland China. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors as none of them currently resides in the United States or has substantial assets located in the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.

The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRCMainland China courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between Mainland China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. Mainland China does not have any treaties or other forms of written arrangement with the United States that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, the PRCMainland China courts will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC laws or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRCMainland China court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and the value of your investment.

The value of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions in China and by China’s foreign exchange policies. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its decade-old policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar, and the Renminbi appreciated more than 20% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, the Renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. On November 30, 2015, the Executive Board of IMF completed the regular five-year review of the basket of currencies that make up the Special Drawing Right, or the SDR, and decided that with effect from October 1, 2016, Renminbi is determined to be a freely usable currency and will be included in the SDR basket as a fifth currency, along with the U.S. dollar, the Euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Renminbi has depreciated significantly in the backdrop of a surging U.S. dollar and persistent capital outflows of Mainland China. This depreciation halted in 2017, and the RMB appreciated approximately 7% against the U.S. dollar during this one-year period. With the development of the foreign exchange market and progress towards interest rate liberalization and Renminbi internationalization, the PRC government may in the future announce further changes to the exchange rate system, and we cannot assure you that the Renminbi will not appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the future. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.

Significant revaluation of the Renminbi may have a material and adverse effect on our operations. For example, to the extent that we need to convert U.S. dollars into Renminbi for our operations, appreciation of the Renminbi against the U.S. dollar would have an adverse effect on the Renminbi amount we would receive from the conversion. Conversely, if we decide to convert our Renminbi into U.S. dollars for the purpose of making payments for dividends on our shares of Common Stock or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Renminbi would have a negative effect on the U.S. dollar amount available to us.

Very limited hedging options are available in Mainland China to reduce our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, we have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While we may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and we may not be able to adequately hedge our exposure or at all. In addition, our currency exchange losses may be magnified by PRC exchange control regulations that restrict our ability to convert Renminbi into foreign currency.

Governmental control of currency conversion may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively and affect the value of your investment.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of Mainland China. We receive substantially all of our revenues in Renminbi. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval of SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. Specifically, under the existing exchange restrictions, without prior approval of SAFE, cash generated from the operations of our PRCMainland China subsidiary in Mainland China may be used to pay dividends to our company. However, approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of Mainland China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, we need to obtain SAFE approval to use cash generated from the operations of our PRCMainland China subsidiary to pay off their respective debt in a currency other than Renminbi owed to entities outside Mainland China, or to make other capital expenditure payments outside Mainland China in a currency other than Renminbi.

In light of the flood of capital outflows of Mainland China, the PRC government may from time to time impose more restrictive foreign exchange policies and step up scrutiny of major outbound capital movement. More restrictions and substantial vetting process may be required by SAFE or other government authorities to regulate cross-border transactions falling under the capital account. The PRC government may at its discretion restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions in the future. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our Common Stock.

Certain political and economic considerations relating to the PRC could adversely affect our Company.

While the PRC’sPRC government has pursued economic reforms since its adoption of the open-door policy in 1978, a large portion of the PRC’sMainland China’s economy is still operating under five-year plans and annual state plans. Through these plans and other economic measures, such as control on foreign exchange, taxation and restrictions on foreign participation in the domestic market of various industries, the PRC’sPRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the economy. Many of the economic reforms carried out by the PRC’sPRC government are unprecedented or experimental, and are expected to be refined and improved. Any readjustment process may not necessarily have a positive effect on our operations or future business development. Our operating results may be adversely affected by changes in the PRC’s economic and social conditions as well as by changes in the policies of the PRC government, such as changes in laws and regulations (or the official interpretation thereof), measures which may be introduced to control inflation, changes in the interest rate or method of taxation, and the imposition of restrictions on currency conversion.

The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities and may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock.

The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate in Mainland China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, land use rights, property and other matters. The central or respective local governments may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with such regulations or interpretations. The Chinese government may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock.

Failure to comply with the Administrative Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange relating to the overseas direct investment or the engagement in the issuance or trading of securities overseas by our PRCMainland China resident stockholders may subject such stockholders to fines or other liabilities.

Other than Notice 37, our ability to conduct foreign exchange activities in the PRCMainland China may be subject to the interpretation and enforcement of the Implementation Regulations of the Administrative Measures for Individual Foreign Exchange promulgated by SAFE in January 2007 (as amended and supplemented, the “Administrative Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange”). Under the Administrative Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange, any PRCMainland China individual seeking to make a direct investment overseas or engage in the issuance or trading of negotiable securities or derivatives overseas must make the appropriate registrations in accordance with SAFE provisions. PRCMainland China individuals who fail to make such registrations may be subject to warnings, fines or other liabilities.

We may not be fully informed of the identities of all our beneficial owners who are PRCMainland China residents. For example, because the investment in or trading of our shares will happen in an overseas public or secondary market where shares are often held with brokers in brokerage accounts, it is unlikely that we will know the identity of all of our beneficial owners who are PRCMainland China residents. Furthermore, we have no control over any of our future beneficial owners and we cannot assure you that such PRCMainland China residents will be able to complete the necessary approval and registration procedures required by the Administrative Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange.

It is uncertain how the Administrative Measures on Individual Foreign Exchange will be interpreted or enforced and whether such interpretation or enforcement will affect our ability to conduct foreign exchange transactions. Because of this uncertainty, we cannot be sure whether the failure by any of our PRCMainland China resident stockholders to make the required registration will subject our PRCMainland China subsidiaries to fines or legal sanctions on their operations, delay or restriction on repatriation of proceeds of securities offering into the PRC,Mainland China, restriction on remittance of dividends or other punitive actions that would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we are unable to obtain business insurance in the PRC,Mainland China, we may not be protected from risks that are customarily covered by insurance in the United States.

Business insurance is not readily available in the PRC.Mainland China. To the extent that we suffer a loss of a type that would normally be covered by insurance in the United States, such as product liability and general liability insurance, we would incur significant expenses in both defending any action and in paying any claims that result from a settlement or judgment. We have not obtained fire, casualty and theft insurance, and there is no insurance coverage for our raw materials, goods and merchandise, furniture or buildings in Mainland China. Any losses incurred by us will have to be borne by us without any assistance, and we may not have sufficient capital to cover material damage to, or the loss of, our production facility due to fire, severe weather, flood or other causes, and such damage or loss may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and prospects.

If we are classified as a PRCMainland China resident enterprise for PRCMainland China enterprise income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-PRCnon-Mainland China shareholders and the common stockholders.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, an enterprise established outside of the PRCMainland China with its “de facto management body” within the PRCMainland China is considered a “resident enterprise” and will be subject to the enterprise income tax on its global income at the rate of 25%. The implementation rules define the term “de facto management body” as the body that exercises full and substantial control and overall management over the business, productions, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In 2009, the State Administration of Taxation, or SAT, issued a circular, known as SAT Circular 82, which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the “de facto management body” of a PRC-controlledMainland China-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is located in Mainland China. Although this circular applies only to offshore enterprises controlled by PRCMainland China enterprises or PRCMainland China enterprise groups, not those controlled by PRCMainland China individuals or foreigners, the criteria set forth in the circular may reflect the SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” text should be applied in determining the tax resident status of all offshore enterprises. According to SAT Circular 82, an offshore incorporated enterprise controlled by a PRCMainland China enterprise or a PRCMainland China enterprise group will be regarded as a PRCMainland China tax resident by virtue of having its “de facto management body” in Mainland China, and will be subject to PRCMainland China enterprise income tax on its global income only if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the primary location of the day-to-day operational management is in the PRC;Mainland China; (ii) decisions relating to the enterprise’s financial and human resource matters are made or are subject to approval by organizations or personnel in the PRC;Mainland China; (iii) the enterprise’s primary assets, accounting books and records, company seals, and board and shareholder resolutions are located or maintained in the PRC;Mainland China; and (iv) at least 50% of voting board members or senior executives habitually reside in the PRC.Mainland China.

We believe our Company, excluding our PRC subsidiaries,Mainland China subsidiary, is not a PRCMainland China resident enterprise for PRCMainland China tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRCMainland China tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.” If the PRCMainland China tax authorities determine that our company is a PRCMainland China resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, we would be subject to PRCMainland China enterprise income on our worldwide income at the rate of 25%. Furthermore, we would be required to withhold a 10% tax from dividends we pay to our shareholders that are non-resident enterprises. In addition, non-resident enterprise shareholders (including the common stockholders) may be subject to PRCMainland China tax on gains realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock, if such income is treated as sourced from within the PRC.Mainland China. Furthermore, if we are deemed a PRCMainland China resident enterprise, dividends paid to our non-PRCnon-Mainland China individual shareholders (including the common stock holders) and any gain realized on the transfer of the common stock or ordinary shares by such shareholders may be subject to PRCMainland China tax at a rate of 20% (which, in the case of dividends, may be withheld at source by us). These rates may be reduced by an applicable tax treaty, but it is unclear whether non-PRCnon-Mainland China shareholders of our company would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRCMainland China in the event that we are treated as a PRCMainland China resident enterprise. Any such tax may reduce the returns on your investment in our common stock.

The PRC government may issue further restrictive measures in the future.

We cannot assure you that the PRC’sPRC government will not issue further restrictive measures in the future. The PRC government’s restrictive regulations and measures could increase our operating costs in adapting to these regulations and measures, limit our access to capital resources or even restrict our business operations, which could further adversely affect our business and prospects.

Interpretation of PRC laws and regulations involve uncertainty.

Our business is conducted within Mainland China and is governed by the PRC’sPRC laws and regulations. The PRC’sMainland China legal system is based on written statutes, and prior court decisions can only be used as a reference. Since 1979, the PRC’sPRC government has promulgated laws and regulations in relation to economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade, with a view to developing a comprehensive system of commercial law, including laws relating to property ownership and development. However, due to the fact that these laws and regulations have not been fully developed, and because of the limited volume of published cases and the non-binding nature of prior court decisions, interpretation of PRC’sPRC laws and regulations involves a degree of uncertainty. Some of these laws may be changed without immediate publication or may be amended with retroactive effect. Depending on the government agency or how an application or case is presented to such agency, we may receive less favorable interpretations of laws and regulations than our competitors, particularly if a competitor has long been established in the locality of, and has developed a relationship with such agency. In addition, any litigation in Mainland China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and a diversion of resources and management attention. All of these uncertainties may cause difficulties in the enforcement of our land use rights, entitlements under our permits and other statutory and contractual rights and interests.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

An active trading market for our common stock may not develop, which may make it difficult for holders of our common stock to sell their stock.

Our common stock currently trades on the OTCQB under the symbol “WETH” and currently there is minimal trading in our common stock. Even assuming the uplisting of our common stock on Nasdaq, we can offer no assurances that trading in our stock will improve over time. Such thin trading may make it more difficult for you to liquidate your holdings in our common stock or negatively affect the price per share that you are able to realize from such sales, and we cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our common stock will develop. An active trading market for our shares may never develop or be sustained following this Underwritten Offering.

Further, many brokerage firms will not process transactions involving low price stocks, especially those that come within the definition of a “penny stock.” If we cease to be quoted, holders of our common stock may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock, and the market value of our common stock would likely decline.

In addition, the initial price for our common stock in this Underwritten Offering will be determined through negotiations with the underwriters and may vary from the market price of our common stock following this Underwritten Offering. As a result of these and other factors, you may be unable to resell your shares of our common stock at or above the initial public offering price. Further, an inactive trading market for our shares may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock or enter into strategic partnerships and transactions by issuing our shares of common stock as consideration. If an active trading market for our common stock does not develop, or is not sustained, you may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at the market price, or at all, and it may be difficult for you to sell your shares without depressing the market price for our common stock.

Since our By-laws provide that the courts in the State of Nevada are the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our shareholders, this could limit our shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors or officers, or employees.

Our Amended and Restated By-laws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the appropriate state and federal courts in the State of Nevada shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s shareholders, any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in our Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to these provisions.

These exclusive-forum provisions may limit a shareholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of its choosing for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees.

Moreover, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in our Amended and Restated By-laws to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees.

The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of broad market and industry factors, including the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in Mainland China that have listed their securities in the United States. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our common stock may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our common stock will trade.

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.

Short sellers of our stock may be manipulative and may drive down the market price of our common stock.

Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed or intends to borrow from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities at a later date to return to the lender. A short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is therefore in the short seller’s interest for the price of the stock to decline, some short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, opinions or characterizations regarding the relevant issuer, its business prospects and similar matters calculated to or which may create negative market momentum, which may permit them to obtain profits for themselves as a result of selling the stock short. Issuers whose securities have historically had limited trading volumes and/or have been susceptible to relatively high volatility levels can be particularly vulnerable to such short seller attacks.

The publication of any such commentary regarding us by a short seller may bring about a temporary, or possibly long term, decline in the market price of our common stock. No assurances can be made that we will not become a target of such commentary and declines in the market price of our common stock will not occur in the future, in connection with such commentary by short sellers or otherwise

In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 20202021 and 2021,2022, we identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.

The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its prospectus, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.

Our reporting obligations as a public company place a significant strain on our management and operational and financial resources and systems. Effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting may result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn may harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will continue to incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404 and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

In connection with the auditing of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 20202021 and 2021,2022, we identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:

As defined in the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:

We have also engaged with a third-party financial consulting firm during the year to assist with the preparation of SEC reporting. We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment, and believe that these remediation efforts will deliver improvements in our control environment. Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

However, the implementation of these measures may not fully address these weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and we cannot conclude that they have been fully remedied. Our failure to correct these weakness and deficiencies or our failure to discover and address any other weakness and deficiencies could result in our inability to accurately report our financial results, prevent or detect fraud or provide timely and reliable financial and other information pursuant to the reporting obligations we have as a public company, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, it could cause our investors to lose confidence in the information we report, which could adversely affect the price of our shares.

We have considerable discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this Underwritten Offering and we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree.

We intend to use the proceeds from this Underwritten Offering primarily to enhance and expand our business operations and for general corporate purposes. However, we have considerable discretion in the application of the proceeds. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. You must rely on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds of this Underwritten Offering. The net proceeds may be used for corporate or other purposes with which you do not agree or that do not improve our profitability or increase our share price. The net proceeds from this Underwritten Offering may also be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

We are subject to the penny stock rules, which will make shares of our common stock more difficult to sell.

We are currently subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules as our shares of common stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our common stock. As long as our shares of common stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of common stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.

If we become directly subject to the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve the matter which could harm our business, operations and reputations, which could result in a loss of your investment in our common stock.

U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies, such as the SEC. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered around financial and accounting irregularities, a lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto and, in some cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listedU.S.-listed Chinese companies has sharply decreased in value and, in some cases, has become virtually worthless. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our business. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we will have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend the Company. This situation may be a major distraction to our management. If such allegations are not proven to be groundless, our company and business operations will be severely hampered and your investment in our shares could be rendered worthless.

The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely affect their market price.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. Shares held by our existing shareholders may be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 193,604,965 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. 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 common stock.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on a price appreciation of our common stock for return on your investment.

We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our common stock 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 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 and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our common stock will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our common stock. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value, or even maintain the price at which you purchased the common stock. You may not realize a return on your investment in our common stock and you may even lose your entire investment in our common stock.

If relations between the United States and China worsen, our stock price may decrease and we may have difficulty accessing the U.S. capital markets.

At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had disagreements over political and economic issues. Controversies may arise in the future between these two countries. Any political or trade conflicts between the United States and China could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to access U.S. capital markets.

General Risk Factors

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. There is no assurance that we will be able to grow 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 the touchscreen industry in general, emergence of alternative business models, or changes in government policies or general economic conditions. We will continue to expand our sales network and product offerings to bring greater convenience to our customers and to increase our customer base and number of transactions. However, the execution of our expansion plan is subject to uncertainty and the total number of items sold and number of transacting customers 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 common stock could decline.

Economic recessions could have a significant, adverse impact on our business.

Our revenues are generated from sales of our capacitive touchscreen products both domestically and internationally and we anticipate that revenues from such sales will continue to represent the substantial portion of our total revenues in the near future. Our sales and earnings can also be affected by changes in the general economy.

The touchscreen industry historically has experienced cyclical fluctuations in financial results due to economic recession, downturns in business cycles of our customers, interest rate fluctuations, and other economic factors beyond our control. Deterioration in the economic environment subjects our business to various risks, which may have a material and adverse impact on our operating results and cause us to not reach our long-term growth goals. For example, a downturn in the economy could directly affect the discretionary spending power of our customers and in turn, depress the number of orders for our products.

We may be subject to intellectual property infringement claims, which may be expensive to defend and may disrupt our business and operations.

We cannot be certain that our operations or any aspects of our business do not or will not infringe upon or otherwise violate intellectual property rights held by third parties. We have not but in the future may be, subject to legal proceedings and claims relating to the intellectual property rights of others. There could also be existing intellectual property of which we are not aware that our products may inadvertently infringe. We cannot assure you that holders of intellectual property purportedly relating to some aspect of our technology or business, if any such holders exist, would not seek to enforce such intellectual property against us in Mainland China, or any other jurisdictions. If we are found to have violated the intellectual property rights of others, we may be subject to liability for our infringement activities or may be prohibited from using such intellectual property, and we may incur licensing fees or be forced to develop alternatives of our own. In addition, we may incur significant expenses, and may be forced to divert management’s time and other resources from our business and operations to defend against these infringement claims, regardless of their merits. Successful infringement or licensing claims made against us may result in significant monetary liabilities and may materially disrupt our business and operations by restricting or prohibiting our use of the intellectual property in question, and our business, financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Further, the application and interpretation of Mainland China’s patent laws and the procedures and standards for granting patents in Mainland China are still evolving and are uncertain, and we cannot assure you that PRC courts or regulatory authorities would agree with our analysis.

We may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.

We regard our trademark, patents, know-how, proprietary technologies, and similar intellectual property as critical to our success. We may become an attractive target to intellectual property attacks in the future with the increasing recognition of our brand. Any of our intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or misappropriated, or such intellectual property may not be sufficient to provide us with competitive advantages. In addition, there can be no assurance that (i) all of our intellectual property rights will be adequately protected, or (ii) our intellectual property rights will not be challenged by third parties or found by a judicial authority to be invalid or unenforceable.

Changes in U.S. and international trade policies, particularly with regard to China, may adversely impact our business and operating results.

The U.S. government has recently made statements and taken certain actions that may lead to potential changes to U.S. and international trade policies, including recently-imposed tariffs affecting certain products manufactured in China. It is unknown whether and to what extent new tariffs (or other new laws or regulations) will be adopted, or the effect that any such actions would have on us or our industry and customers. Although cross-border business may not be an area of our focus, if we plan to sell our products internationally in the future, any unfavorable government policies on international trade, such as capital controls or tariffs, may affect the demand for our products and services, impact the competitive position of our products or prevent us from being able to sell products in certain countries. If any new tariffs, legislation and/or regulations are implemented, or if existing trade agreements are renegotiated or, in particular, if the U.S. government takes retaliatory trade actions due to the recent U.S.-China trade tension, such changes could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations.

The table above excludes:

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share you will pay in this Underwritten Offering and the adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this Underwritten Offering.

The historical net tangible book value of our common stock as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 was approximately $65,492,813,$110,946,460, or $1.96$0.61 per share, based upon 33,345,541193,604,965 shares of common stock outstanding on such date. Historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets as adjusted to take into account net cash proceeds of $40,000,000 from our Private Placement, which closed on January 19, 2023. After giving effect to this transaction, our pro forma net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 would have been approximately $3.16$0.62 per share.

After giving effect to the Private Placement and the Underwritten Offering, our adjusted net tangible book value of our common stock will be $             per share. Adjusted net tangible book value per share represents adjusted net tangible book value divided by the total number of shares outstanding after giving effect to the sale of the shares in this Underwritten Offering at the assumed public offering price of $               per share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $             per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $            per share to investors purchasing shares of common stock in the Underwritten Offering at the assumed public offering price.

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors:

If the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full, our adjusted net tangible book value following the Underwritten Offering will be $               per share, and the dilution to investors purchasing shares of common stock in the Underwritten Offering will be $                per share.
