PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS Dated JUNE 30, 2023

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

3,000,000 Ordinary Shares

WORK Medical Technology Group LTD

This is the initial public offering of the ordinary shares, par value $0.0005 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), of WORK Medical Technology Group LTD, a Cayman Islands exempted company and not a Chinese operating company. WORK Medical Technology Group LTD conducts its operations through Work (Hangzhou) Medical Treatment Equipment Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries in China (collectively referred to herein as “the PRC subsidiaries”). Throughout this prospectus, unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “Work Cayman” are to WORK Medical Technology Group LTD, a holding company, and references to “we,” the “Company” or “our company” are to Work Cayman.

We are offering 3,000,000 Ordinary Shares. We expect the initial public offering price of the shares to be in the range of $4.00 to $5.00 per share. Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. We have applied to have our Ordinary Shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (or Nasdaq) under the symbol “WOK.” This offering is contingent upon the final approval from Nasdaq for us listing on Nasdaq Capital Market. There is no guarantee or assurance that our Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq Capital Market. Further, we can provide no assurance that the offering of our Ordinary Shares will be closed and that our Ordinary Shares will be trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market if Nasdaq Capital Market denies our listing. We will not proceed to consummate this offering if Nasdaq denies our listing.

We are both an “emerging growth company” and a “foreign private issuer” as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company” on page 15, and “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer” on page 15.

Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves a significant degree of risk. Our Ordinary Shares offered in this prospectus are shares of our Cayman Islands holding company, which has no operations of its own and conducts all of its operations through the PRC subsidiaries, namely, Work (Hangzhou) Medical Treatment Technology Co., Ltd. (“Work Hangzhou”), our wholly owned subsidiary, and its subsidiaries, Hangzhou Shanyou Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., Shanghai Chuqiang Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Hanshi Medical Equipment Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Saitumofei Medical Treatment Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Saitumofei”). The operations of our PRC subsidiaries could affect other parts of our business. Investors in our Ordinary Shares should be aware that they will not directly hold equity interests in the PRC subsidiaries, but rather are purchasing equity solely in WORK Medical Technology Group LTD, a Cayman Islands holding company, which indirectly owns 100% equity interests in such PRC subsidiaries. For a description of our corporate structure, see “Corporate History and Structure — Corporate Structure” beginning on page 61.

In addition, as we conduct all of our operations through the PRC subsidiaries in China, we and the PRC subsidiaries are subject to legal and operational risks associated with being based in China, including risks related to the legal, political and economic policies of the Chinese government, the relations between China and the United States, or Chinese or United States regulations, which risks could result in a material change in the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and/or cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless and affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. We do not believe that we or the PRC subsidiaries are directly subject to these regulatory actions or statements, as neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries have implemented any monopolistic behavior, and the PRC subsidiaries’ business does not implicate cybersecurity, because the PRC subsidiaries currently engage in the manufacture and sale of medical devices and neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries possess the personal information of over one million users, nor are we or the PRC subsidiaries involved in any type of restricted industries. On September 8, 2006, the Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors (the “M&A Rules”) which was jointly adopted by six PRC regulatory agencies came into effect. The M&A Rules include, among other things, provisions that purport to require that an offshore special purpose vehicles (each, an “SPV”) that are controlled by PRC entities or individuals and that have been formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic interests held by such PRC entities or individuals, obtain the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) prior to the listing and trading of such SPV’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by SPVs. However, substantial uncertainty remains regarding the scope and applicability of the M&A Rules to offshore SPVs. Furthermore, on March 31, 2023, the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Administrative Measures”) and relevant supporting guidelines (collectively, the “New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings”) issued by the CSRC came into force. According to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, among other things, a domestic company in the PRC that seeks to offer and list securities on overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedures with the CSRC as per requirement of the Trial Administrative Measures. On the same day, the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions”) promulgated by the CSRC became effective. According to the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, domestic companies that seek overseas offering and listing (either in direct or indirect means) and the securities companies and securities service (either incorporated domestically or overseas) providers that undertake relevant businesses shall not leak any state secret or working secret of government agencies, or harm national security and public interests. Furthermore, a domestic company that provides accounting archives or copies of accounting archives to any entities, including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators and individuals, shall fulfill due procedures in compliance with applicable regulations. We believe that this offering does not involve the leaking of any state secret or working secret of government agencies, or the harming of national security and public interests. However, we may be required to perform additional procedures in connection with the provision of accounting archives. The specific requirements of the relevant procedures are currently unclear and we cannot be certain whether we will be able to perform the relevant procedures. We believe, based on the advice of our PRC counsel, Jingtian & Gongcheng, that (i) because we are not an SPV which acquires PRC domestic companies’ equity with our shares prior to the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq, we are not required to submit an application to the CSRC for its approval of this offering and the listing and trading of our Ordinary

Table of Contents

Shares with Nasdaq under the M&A Rules, while we will nevertheless have to file with the CSRC in accordance with the Trial Administrative Measures with respect to this offering; (ii) neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries are subject to cybersecurity review with the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”), pursuant to the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version), which became effective on February 15, 2022, since the PRC subsidiaries currently engage in the manufacture and sale of medical devices and neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries possess personal information of over one million users; and (iii) there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations and future PRC laws and regulations, and there can be no assurance that the relevant government agencies will take a view that is contrary to, or otherwise different from, the conclusions stated above. If the relevant government agencies take a view that is contrary to, or otherwise different from, the foregoing conclusions, it could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ business, operating results and reputation, as well as the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Any requirement to obtain prior approval under the M&A Rules and/or any other regulations promulgated by relevant PRC regulatory agencies in the future could delay this offering and failure to obtain any such approvals, if required, could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, operating results and reputation, as well as the trading price of our Ordinary Shares, and could also create uncertainties for this offering and affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors outside China” on page 23; “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations” on page 18; and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Additional compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, due to the promulgation of the new filing-based administrative rules for overseas offering and listing by domestic companies in China, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless” on page 21.

Moreover, the Chinese government may exert substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries conduct their business activities. The PRC government may also intervene or influence the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and this offering at any time, which could result in a material change in the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and our Ordinary Shares could decline in value significantly or become worthless. See “— Summary of Risks Affecting Our Company — Risk Related to Doing Business in China — The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries conduct their business activities. The PRC government may also intervene or influence the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and this offering at any time, which could result in a material change in the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and our Ordinary Shares could significantly decline in value or become worthless” on page 20; and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries conduct their business activities. The PRC government may also intervene or influence the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and this offering at any time, which could result in a material change in the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and our Ordinary Shares could significantly decline in value or become worthless” on page 20.

However, since these statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government are newly published and official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued, it is highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the PRC subsidiaries’ daily business operations, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. exchange. Moreover, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (the “SCNPC”) or other PRC regulatory authorities may in the future promulgate laws or regulations or implementing rules that require our company, or any of our subsidiaries to obtain regulatory approval from Chinese authorities before listing in the U.S. Although the Company is currently not required to obtain permission or approval from any of the PRC central or local governmental authorities, and it has not received any denial to list on a U.S. exchange, the PRC subsidiaries’ operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly; our ability to offer, or continue to offer, securities to investors would be potentially hindered; and the value of our securities might significantly decline or be worthless, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to the business of the PRC subsidiaries or our industry or by intervention or interruption by PRC governmental authorities, if we or the PRC subsidiaries (i) do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we or the PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, or (iv) any intervention or interruption by PRC governmental with little advance notice. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 for a discussion of these legal and operational risks and other information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase our Ordinary Shares.

In addition, although Work Medical Technology Group (China) Limited (“Work Medical Technology”), our Hong Kong subsidiary, is an investment holding company, the legal and operational risks associated with operating in mainland China may also apply to the future activities (if any) in Hong Kong of Work Medical Technology, to the extent that they are made applicable to such entity and its anticipated operations. Work Medical Technology, as of the date of this prospectus, has yet to commence operations, and is expected to be limited to operating as an investment holding company in the future without any substantive or data-related operations in Hong Kong. However, such operations may be affected if Hong Kong adopts rules, regulations or policy guidance with respect to currency exchange control. Furthermore, as of the date of this prospectus, we do not expect that any regulatory actions related to data security or anti-monopoly concerns in Hong Kong will impact the Company’s ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or list on a U.S. or foreign exchange, because we have never had and do not plan to have any material operations in Hong Kong. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China” on page 18.

Hong Kong was established as a special administrative region of the PRC in accordance with Article 31 of the Constitution of the PRC. The Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC (the “Basic Law”) was adopted and promulgated on April 4, 1990 and became effective on July 1, 1997, when the PRC resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Basic Law, Hong Kong is authorized by the National People’s Congress of the PRC to exercise a high degree of autonomy and enjoy executive, legislative, and independent judicial power, under the principle of “one country, two systems,” and the PRC laws and regulations shall not be applied in Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law (which is confined to laws relating to national defense, foreign affairs, and other matters that are not within the scope of autonomy of Hong Kong). While the National People’s Congress of the PRC has the power to amend the Basic Law, the Basic Law also expressly provides that no amendment to the Basic Law shall contravene the established basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong. As a result, national laws of the PRC not listed in Annex III of the Basic Law do not apply to our Hong Kong subsidiary, Work Medical Technology. However, there is no assurance that certain PRC laws and regulations, including existing laws and regulations and those enacted or promulgated in the future, will not be applicable to Work Medical Technology due to changes in the current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong or other unforeseeable reasons. The application of such laws and regulations may have a material adverse impact on Work Medical Technology, as relevant authorities may impose fines and penalties upon Work Medical Technology, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into mainland China and Hong Kong, and any failure by us to fully comply with any such new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or in extreme cases, become worthless.

Furthermore, as more stringent criteria have been imposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) recently, our securities may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or over-the-counter under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors for three consecutive years beginning in 2022. As a result, an exchange may determine to delist our securities. Pursuant to the HFCA Act, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect an issuer’s auditors for three consecutive years,

Table of Contents

the issuer’s securities are prohibited to trade on a U.S. stock exchange. The PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the People’s Republic of China because of a position taken by one or more authorities in mainland China; and (2) Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in Hong Kong. Furthermore, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. On June 22, 2021, United States Senate has passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. On December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”), was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two. As of the date of this prospectus, our auditor WWC, P.C., is not on the list published by the PCAOB subject to the determinations as to inability to inspect or investigate completely, as announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021, and it is based in the U.S. and is registered with the PCAOB and subject to PCAOB inspection, having its latest inspection completed in November 2021. However, recently developments with respect to audits of China-based companies, create uncertainty about the ability of our auditor, to fully cooperate with the PCAOB’s request for audit workpapers without the approval of the Chinese authorities. In the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely the Company’s auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction, then such lack of inspection could cause trading in the Company’s securities to be prohibited under the HFCA Act, and ultimately result in a determination by a securities exchange to delist the Company’s securities. The delisting of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment, even making it worthless. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC (the “MOF”), and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (the “Protocol”), which sets out specific arrangements on conducting inspections and investigations over relevant audit firms within the jurisdiction of the PRC and the U.S, including the audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor, then such lack of inspection could cause our securities to be delisted from the stock exchange. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors. The delisting of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non- inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two.” on page 31.

As a holding company, we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the PRC subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements. If any of the PRC subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. However, none of the PRC subsidiaries have made any dividends or other distributions to the Company or any U.S. investors as of the date of this prospectus. In the future, cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities, including this offering, may be transferred by us to the PRC subsidiaries via capital contribution or shareholder loans, as the case may be.

As of the date of this prospectus, there are no cash flows between the Company and our subsidiaries, and funds are only transferred between the PRC subsidiaries, Hangzhou Shanyou Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Shanyou”) and Hangzhou Hanshi Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Hanshi”). For the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, fund transfers were limited to loans in the principal amounts of $84,234 and $10,757 made by Hangzhou Shanyou to Hangzhou Hanshi, respectively.

This prospectus does not constitute, and there will not be, an offering of securities to the public in the Cayman Islands.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

Investors are cautioned that you are buying shares of a Cayman Islands holding company with no operations of its own that holds 100% of the shares of a China-based operating company.

This summary highlights certain information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including our financial statements and related notes and the risks described under “Risk Factors.” Our actual results and future events may differ significantly based upon a number of factors. The reader should not put undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this document, which speak only as of the date on the cover of this prospectus.

Overview

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct all of our operations through our operating entities established in the PRC, primarily Work Hangzhou, our wholly owned subsidiary, and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “PRC subsidiaries”). The operations of our PRC subsidiaries could affect other parts of our business.

We are a supplier of medical devices in China. We develop and manufacture Class I and II medical devices and sell Class I and II disposable medical devices through operating subsidiaries in China. The PRC subsidiaries’ products include, to name a few, medical face masks, artery compression tourniquets for bleeding control, disposable breathing circuits for delivering oxygen and anesthetic gases, laryngeal mask airways for keeping patients’ airways open during anesthesia and endotracheal tubes for keeping the trachea open for air to get to the lungs.

The PRC subsidiaries have Class I, II and III disposable medical device qualifications, including filing certificates for Class I products and registration certificates for Class II products, and medical device production and operation licenses in China. For more information about the qualifications, please refer to “Business — Certification of Production and Products.”

The PRC subsidiaries have been providing medical devices to hospitals, pharmacies, and medical institutions since 2002. The PRC subsidiaries currently have a total of 20 medical devices in their product portfolio. All of them are sold domestically, and 15 of them are sold internationally.

In the Chinese market, the PRC subsidiaries’ products are sold in 34 provincial-level administrative regions. Internationally, the products are exported to more than 30 countries in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania. In the meantime, the PRC subsidiaries have established a strict quality management system. The PRC subsidiaries have 17 products that have passed the inspections administered by local authorities in Zhejiang province and obtained the registration certificates. The PRC subsidiaries have also received international “CE” certification and ISO 13485 system certification. Furthermore, the PRC subsidiaries have registered with the FDA for 17 products.

Our Revenue Model

We primarily generate our revenue through the PRC subsidiaries’ sales of medical devices.

The PRC subsidiaries have three types of customers, i) direct end-user customers, which include hospitals, pharmacies, and medical institutions, ii) domestic distributor customers that distribute the PRC subsidiaries’ products to end-user customers in China, and iii) export distributor customers that distribute the PRC subsidiaries’ products to end-user customers in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania. The top ten countries and regions outside of mainland China where these products are sold are Saudi Arabia, Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong, France, Poland, Netherlands, Mexico, Romania and Russia.

The PRC subsidiaries market and sell their products through their sales team and distribution network, including their domestic and export distributors.

Sales Team

As of the date of this prospectus, the PRC subsidiaries have a sales team of 40 employees. There are four team leaders leading their respective teams to market the PRC subsidiaries’ products, both domestically and internationally.

Distribution Network

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the PRC subsidiaries had approximately 867 and 800 domestic distributors and 37 and 57 exporting distributors, respectively. Distributors usually purchase products from the PRC subsidiaries at a discounted price and then resell the products to end customers, both domestically and internationally.

The PRC subsidiaries’ domestic distributors cover 34 provincial-level administrative regions of PRC for the resales of the products in the Chinese market. They market and distribute the products in the regions where they are located and secured approximately 440 and 440 domestic customers for the PRC subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, including hospitals and medical institutions.

The PRC subsidiaries’ exporting distributors can be classified into two categories: those located outside of China that only distribute the products internationally, and those located in China that distribute the products, both domestically and internationally. The total number of direct and indirect customer relationships established overseas through the PRC subsidiaries’ exporting distributors was approximately 100 and 100, as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Work Hangzhou and its subsidiaries contributed 100% of our consolidated revenue and accounted for 100% of our consolidated total assets and liabilities for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries operate in an industry that prohibits or limits foreign investment. As a result, neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain any permission from Chinese authorities to operate, other than those permissions a domestic company in mainland China will need to engage in businesses similar to our PRC subsidiaries’. As of the date of the prospectus, such licenses and permissions include a Business License, Medical Device Registration Certificate, Medical Device Production Certificate, Medical Device Selling Certificate, Record Form of Medical Device Products, Certificate of Class I medical device production recordation, Certificate of Class II medical device selling recordation, Record Registration Form for Foreign Trade Business Operators and Certificate of the Customs of the People’s Republic of China on Registration of a Customs Declaration Entity. The PRC subsidiaries have obtained the above licenses and permissions to conduct their business in mainland China. See “Business — Licenses and Permissions” on page 81.

Furthermore, we believe, based on the advice of our PRC counsel, Jingtian & Gongcheng, that (i) because we are not an SPV which acquires PRC domestic companies’ equity with our shares prior to the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq, we are not required to submit an application to the CSRC for its approval of this offering and the listing and trading of our Ordinary Shares with Nasdaq under the “M&A Rules”, while we will nevertheless have to file with the CSRC in accordance with the Trial Administrative Measures with respect to this offering; (ii) we are not subject to cybersecurity review with the CAC, under the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version), which became effective on February 15, 2022, because the PRC subsidiaries currently engage in the manufacture and sale of medical devices and we or the PRC subsidiaries do not possess personal information of over one million users; and (iii) there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations and prospects for future PRC laws and regulations, and there can be no assurance that the relevant government agencies will take a view that is not contrary to or otherwise different from the conclusions stated above. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Any requirement to obtain prior approval under the M&A Rules and/or any other regulations promulgated by relevant PRC regulatory agencies in the future could delay this offering and failure to obtain any such approvals, if required, could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, operating results and reputation, as well as the trading price of our Ordinary Shares, and could also create

Table of Contents

uncertainties for this offering and affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors outside China” on page 23; and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations” on page 18.

The PRC government may take actions to exert more oversight and control over offerings by China based issuers conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in such companies. In particular, additional compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, due to the promulgation of the new filing-based administrative rules for overseas offering and listing by domestic companies in China. The New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors outside China and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Any requirement to obtain prior approval under the M&A Rules and/or any other regulations promulgated by relevant PRC regulatory agencies in the future could delay this offering and failure to obtain any such approvals, if required, could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, operating results and reputation, as well as the trading price of our Ordinary Shares, and could also create uncertainties for this offering and affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors outside China” on page 23, and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Additional compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, due to the promulgation of the new filing-based administrative rules for overseas offering and listing by domestic companies in China, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless” on page 21.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, which came into force on March 31, 2023. According to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, among other things, a domestic company in the PRC that seeks to offer and list securities on overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedures with the CSRC as per requirement of the Trial Administrative Measures. According to the New Trial Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, we will have to file with the CSRC in accordance with the Trial Administrative Measures with respect to this offering. On February 24, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, which also became effective on March 31, 2023. According to the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, domestic companies that seek overseas offering and listing (either in direct or indirect means) and the securities companies and securities service (either incorporated domestically or overseas) providers that undertake relevant businesses shall institute a sound confidentiality and archives administration system, and take necessary measures to fulfill confidentiality and archives administration obligations. They shall not leak any state secret or working secret of government agencies, or harm national security and public interests. Furthermore, a domestic company that provides accounting archives or copies of accounting archives to any entities, including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators and individuals, shall fulfill due procedures in compliance with applicable regulations. Working papers produced in mainland China by securities companies and securities service providers in the process of undertaking businesses related to overseas offering and listing by domestic companies shall be retained in mainland China. Where such documents need to be transferred or transmitted to areas outside of mainland China, relevant approval procedures stipulated by regulations shall be followed. We believe that this offering does not involve the leaking of any state secret or working secret of government agencies, or the harming of national security and public interests. However, we may be required to perform additional procedures in connection with the provision of accounting archives. The specific requirements of the relevant procedures are currently unclear and we cannot be certain whether we will be able to perform the relevant procedures. Except for the filing procedures with the CSRC, as of the date of this prospectus, we are not required to obtain any permission from any PRC governmental authorities to offer securities to foreign investors. We have been closely monitoring regulatory developments in China regarding any necessary approvals from the CSRC or other PRC governmental authorities required for overseas listings, including this offering. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries have received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC or other PRC governmental authorities. However, there remains significant uncertainty as

to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements related to overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities. Moreover, on December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) were promulgated and took effect on February 15, 2022, which provide that any “online platform operators” controlling personal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review. We do not expect to be subject to cybersecurity review, because the PRC subsidiaries currently engage in the manufacture and sale of medical devices and neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries possess personal information of over one million users. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by the Cyberspace Administration of China, and we have not received any warning, sanction or penalty in such respect. If it is determined in the future that the approval of the CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China or any other regulatory authority is required for this offering, we may face sanctions by the CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on the PRC subsidiaries’ operations in China, limit the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit the PRC subsidiaries’ operations, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into China or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our or the PRC subsidiaries’ business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our securities. The CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China or other PRC regulatory agencies also may take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of our Ordinary Shares. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery, you do so at the risk that settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the Cyberspace Administration of China or other PRC regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering, we may be unable to obtain such approvals or a waiver of such approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such an approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our securities. See “— Summary of Risks Affecting Our Company — Risk Related to Doing Business in China — The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries conduct their business activities. The PRC government may also intervene or influence the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and this offering at any time, which could result in a material change in the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and our Ordinary Shares could significantly decline in value or become worthless” on page 20; and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries conduct their business activities. The PRC government may also intervene or influence the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and this offering at any time, which could result in a material change in the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and our Ordinary Shares could significantly decline in value or become worthless” on page 20.

Additionally, our PRC subsidiaries are subject to various laws and regulations related to their operating activities. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could cause material changes in the PRC subsidiaries’ operations. Our PRC subsidiaries are subject to fire protection laws, for example, Hangzhou Shanyou, the only PRC subsidiary that manages production lines, has not prepared the required regulatory reports in connection with fire protection laws and regulations, and, as a consequence, may be ordered to stop use of such production lines by PRC regulatory authorities. Since all of its products are manufactured by operation of such production lines, any such development could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Risk Factors — The PRC subsidiaries are subject to a variety of fire protection laws that could be costly for them to comply with, and they could incur liability if they fail to comply with such laws, which could adversely affect the Group as a whole” on page 42.

Change in Authorized Share Capital and Share Subdivision

On April 6, 2023, the sole director and shareholders of the Company unanimously approved resolutions authorizing the share subdivision and the adoption of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, after which, (1) the Company effectuated a 1:2000 share subdivision, whereupon the Company’s authorized share capital was changed to US$50,000 divided into 100,000,000 Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0005 each; and (2) immediately after the share subdivision, the shareholders voluntarily surrendered, on a pro rata basis, a total of 87,500,000 Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0005 each, after which, the Company had an aggregate of 12,500,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

Dividends and Other Distributions

We are a holding company with no material operations of our own and do not generate any revenue. We currently conduct all of our operations through Work Hangzhou, our wholly owned subsidiary and its subsidiaries. We are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to provide funding to PRC subsidiaries only through loans or capital contributions, and only if we satisfy the applicable government registration and approval requirements. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to the PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand the PRC subsidiaries’ business” on page 27.

We have not installed any cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred among Work Cayman and its subsidiaries, and thus we do not have any procedures governing fund transfers. Under our current corporate structure, we rely on dividend payments from the PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders or to service any debt we may incur. Our subsidiaries in the PRC generate and retain cash generated from operating activities and re-invest it in their business. If any of the PRC subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. As of the date of this prospectus, there were no cash flows between the PRC subsidiaries and Work Hangzhou, and no cash flows between our Cayman Islands holding company and our subsidiaries.

There are not any funds transferred among Work Cayman or Work BVI and the PRC subsidiaries. Funds are transferred among the PRC subsidiaries for operational purposes, primarily between Hangzhou Shanyou and Hangzhou Hanshi, our main operating subsidiary and its subsidiaries. As of the date of this prospectus, there are no cash flows between the Company and our subsidiaries, and funds are only transferred between the PRC subsidiaries, Hangzhou Shanyou and Hangzhou Hanshi. For the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, fund transfers were limited to loans in the principal amounts of $84,234 and $10,757 made by Hangzhou Shanyou to Hangzhou Hanshi, respectively.

The PRC subsidiaries are permitted to pay dividends only out of their retained earnings. However, each of the PRC subsidiaries 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 the PRC subsidiaries’ respective net assets are prohibited from being distributed to their shareholders as dividends. See “Regulations — Regulations on Dividend Distributions.” However, none of our subsidiaries has made any dividends or other distributions to the Company or any U.S. investors as of the date of this prospectus. See also “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — We rely to a significant extent on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries to fund offshore cash and financing requirements and any limitation on the ability of the PRC subsidiaries to make remittance to pay dividends to us could limit our ability to access cash generated by the operations of those entities” on page 28.

The PRC subsidiaries have made no further plans to pay dividends since January 31, 2021, and do not expect to do so unless and until they have generated sufficient accumulated profits and have met the requirements for statutory reserve funds. We intend to retain all of our available funds and any future earnings after this offering and cash proceeds from overseas financing activities, including this offering, to fund the development and growth of the PRC subsidiaries’ business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

In addition, 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. 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. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenue effectively” on page 30.

A 10% PRC withholding tax is applicable to dividends payable to investors that are non-resident enterprises. Any gain realized on the transfer of Ordinary Shares by such investors is also subject to PRC 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. See also “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Dividends payable to our foreign investors and gains on the sale of our Ordinary Shares by our foreign investors may be subject to PRC tax” on page 29.

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

Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued its determination that the PCAOB 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 PRC authorities in those jurisdictions, and the PCAOB included in the report of its determination a list of the accounting firms that are headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong. This list does not include our auditor, WWC P.C. While our auditor is based in the U.S. and is registered with PCAOB and subject to PCAOB inspection, in the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction, then such lack of inspection could cause our securities to be delisted from the stock exchange. The delisting of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment, even making it worthless. On August 26, 2022, CSRC, the MOF, and the PCAOB signed a Protocol, which sets out specific arrangements on conducting inspections and investigations over relevant audit firms within the jurisdiction of the PRC and the U.S., including the audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the

Recent Regulatory Developments in China

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.

Among other things, the M&A Rules and the Anti-Monopoly Law of the People’s Republic of China promulgated by the SCNPC, which took effect in 2008 and was amended on June 24, 2022, which amendment became effective August 1, 2022 (the “Anti-Monopoly Law”), established additional procedures and requirements that could make merger and acquisition activities by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex. Under the Anti-Monopoly

Table of Contents

Law, companies undertaking acquisitions relating to businesses in China must notify the State Council’s anti-monopoly law enforcement authority, in advance of any transaction where the parties’ revenue in the China market exceed certain thresholds and the buyer would obtain control of, or decisive influence over, the target. In addition, the Rules of Ministry of Commerce on Implementation of Security Review System of Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the security review rules, issued by the MOFCOM that took effect in September 2011 specify that if a merger and acquisition of domestic enterprise by a foreign investor falls within the M&A safety review scope, the foreign investor shall file an application for M&A safety review to the Ministry of Commerce. The M&A safety review scope is as follows: foreign investors’ M&A of domestic military industry enterprises and military industry support enterprises, enterprises around key and sensitive military facilities, and other units which have impact on national defense security; and foreign investors’ M&A of domestic enterprises, which have impact on the national security, in fields of important agricultural products, important energy and resources, important infrastructure, important transport service, key technology and major equipment manufacturing, etc., and such M&A may result in foreign investors’ acquirement of actual control over the enterprises.

On July 6, 2021, the relevant PRC government authorities made public the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies and proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies. Pursuant to the Opinions, Chinese regulators are required to accelerate rulemaking related to the overseas issuance and listing of securities, and update the existing laws and regulations related to data security, cross-border data flow, and management of confidential information. Numerous regulations, guidelines and other measures are expected to be adopted under the umbrella of or in addition to the Cybersecurity Law and Data Security Law. As of the date of this prospectus, no official guidance or related implementation rules have been issued yet and the interpretation of these opinions remains unclear at this stage. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Any requirement to obtain prior approval under the M&A Rules and/or any other regulations promulgated by relevant PRC regulatory agencies in the future could delay this offering and failure to obtain any such approvals, if required, could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, operating results and reputation, as well as the trading price of our Ordinary Shares, and could also create uncertainties for this offering and affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors outside China.” on page 23.

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 took effect on February 15, 2022, which provide that any “online platform operators” controlling personal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review. The Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version), further elaborate on the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities, including, among others, (i) the risk of core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, and illegally used or exited the country; and (ii) the risk of critical information infrastructure, core data, important data or a large amount of personal information being affected, controlled, or maliciously used by foreign governments after listing abroad.

New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, we have to file with the CSRC with respect to this offering, and the CSRC will conclude the filing procedures and publish the filing results on the CSRC website within 20 working days after receiving the filing documents if the filing documents are complete and in compliance with stipulated requirements. However, during the filing process, the CSRC may request the Company to supply additional documents or may consult with competent authorities, the time for which will not be counted in the 20 working days. We are required to complete the filing procedures before the closing of this offering, pursuant to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings. Any material delay in our ability to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — Additional compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, due to the promulgation of the new filing-based administrative rules for overseas offering and listing by domestic companies in China, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless” on page 21. See “Risk Factors” for a discussion of these legal and operational risks and other information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase our Ordinary Shares.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We had less than $1.235 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year. As a result, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of reduced public reporting requirements. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

• being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our filings with the SEC;

• not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting;

• reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and

• exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our Ordinary Shares pursuant to this offering. However, if certain events occur before the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” if our annual gross revenue exceed $1.235 billion or if we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company before the end of such five-year period.

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period and acknowledge such election is irrevocable pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer

Upon consummation of this offering, we will report under the Exchange Act, as a non-U.S. company with “foreign private issuer” status. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, so long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

• the rules under the Exchange Act that require U.S. domestic public companies to issue financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP;

• the sections of the Exchange Act that regulate the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of any securities registered under the Exchange Act;

Table of Contents

• the sections of the Exchange Act that require insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and that impose liability on insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

• the rules under the Exchange Act that require the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, containing unaudited financial and other specified information, and current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.

We will file with the SEC, within four months after the end of each fiscal year (or such other reports required by the SEC), an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States.

Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies are also exempt from certain of the more extensive SEC executive compensation disclosure rules. Therefore, if we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company but remain a foreign private issuer, we will continue to be exempt from such rules and will continue to be permitted to follow our home country practice as to the disclosure of such matters.

Table of Contents

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Ordinary Shares is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment in our company. The risks discussed below could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, ability to pay dividends and the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and ability to pay dividends, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

Changes in the political and economic policies of the PRC government or in relations between China and the United States may materially and adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition and results of operations and may result in the PRC subsidiaries inability to sustain their growth and expansion strategies.

All of the operations are conducted in the PRC and a majority of our revenue is sourced from the PRC. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are affected to a significant extent by economic, political and legal developments in the PRC or changes in government relations between China and the United States or other governments. There is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and China with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs.

The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the extent of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the PRC 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 China is still owned by the government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises significant control over China’s economic growth by allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, regulating financial services and institutions and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past four decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on the PRC subsidiaries. The PRC subsidiaries’ financial condition and results of operation could be materially and adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to the PRC subsidiaries. In addition, the PRC government has implemented in the past certain measures, including interest rate increases, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity.

In July 2021, the SEC has imposed enhanced disclosure requirements on China-based companies seeking to register securities with the SEC. As all of the operations are based in China, any future Chinese, U.S. or other rules and regulations that place restrictions on capital raising or other activities by China based companies could adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ business and results of operations. If the business environment in China deteriorates from the perspective of domestic or international investment, or if relations between China and the United States or other governments deteriorate, the Chinese government may intervene with the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and business in China and United States, as well as the market price of our Ordinary Shares, may also be adversely affected.

There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, rules and regulations.

All of the operations are conducted in the PRC, and are governed by PRC laws, rules and regulations. The PRC subsidiaries are subject to laws, rules and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value.

Table of Contents

In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws, rules and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past four decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China. However, China has not developed a fully integrated legal system, and recently enacted laws, rules and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China or may be subject to significant degrees of interpretation by PRC regulatory agencies. In particular, because these laws, rules and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited number of published decisions and the nonbinding nature of such decisions, and because the laws, rules and regulations often give the relevant regulator significant discretion in how to enforce them, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws, rules and regulations involve uncertainties and can be inconsistent and unpredictable. In addition, 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 which may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we or the PRC subsidiaries may not be aware of the violation of these policies and rules until after the occurrence of the violation.

Any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we or the PRC subsidiaries enjoy than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may impede the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to enforce the contracts they have entered into and could materially and adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the “Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law,” or the Opinions, and made the Opinions available to the public. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems will be taken to deal with the risks and incidents of China-concept overseas listed companies, and cybersecurity and data privacy protection requirements and similar matters. The Opinions remain unclear on how the law will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC governmental authorities, but the Opinions and any related implementing rules to be enacted may subject us and the PRC subsidiaries to compliance requirements in the future.

On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued a revised draft of the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments, which required that, among others, in addition to “operator of critical information infrastructure,” any “data processor” controlling personal information of no less than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review, and further elaborated the factors to be considered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activities. On December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) were promulgated and took effect on February 15, 2022, which provide that any “online platform operators” controlling personal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should be subject to cybersecurity review.

On November 14, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China released the Regulations on Network Data Security (draft for public comments) and will accept public comments until December 13, 2021. The draft Regulations on Network Data Security provide that if a data processor that processes personal data of more than one million users intends to list overseas, it shall apply for a cybersecurity review. In addition, data processors that process important data or are listed overseas shall carry out an annual data security assessment on their own or by engaging a data security services institution, and the data security assessment report for the prior year should be submitted to the local cyberspace affairs administration department before January 31 of each year. We do not believe we or any of the PRC subsidiaries may be considered to be an “operator of critical information infrastructure”, or “online platform operators,” as mentioned above; however, Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) were recently adopted and the Regulations on Network Data Security (draft for public comments) are in the process of being formulated and it remains unclear how the Opinions will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC governmental authorities.

seeks to directly offer and list securities on overseas markets, the issuer shall file with the CSRC. Where a domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities on overseas markets, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity, which shall, as the domestic responsible entity, file with the CSRC. Initial public offerings or listings on overseas markets shall be filed with the CSRC within 3 working days after the relevant application is submitted overseas. See “— Additional compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, due to the promulgation of the new filing-based administrative rules for overseas offering and listing by domestic companies in China, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless” on page 21.

Furthermore, if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals for this offering and any follow-on offering, we may be unable to obtain such approvals which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors.

Furthermore, the PRC government authorities may strengthen oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers like us. Such actions taken by the PRC government authorities may intervene or influence the PRC subsidiaries’ operations at any time, which are beyond our control. Therefore, any such action may adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and significantly limit or hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to you and reduce the value of such securities.

Uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and the fact that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice, along with the risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence the PRC subsidiaries’ operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could result in a material change in the PRC subsidiaries’ and our operations, financial performance and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares or impair our ability to raise money.

The PRC government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries conduct their business activities. The PRC government may also intervene or influence the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and this offering at any time, which could result in a material change in the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and our Ordinary Shares could significantly decline in value or become worthless.

We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities to list on U.S exchanges. However, if the Company or any of the PRC subsidiaries were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange, continue to offer securities to investors, or materially affect the interest of the investors and cause significantly depreciation of our price of Ordinary Shares.

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 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 local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our and the PRC subsidiaries’ part to ensure compliance with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest ourselves of any interest we then hold in the operations in China.

For example, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator announced on July 2, 2021, that it had begun an investigation of Didi Global Inc. (NYSE: DIDI) and two days later ordered that the company’s app be removed from smartphone app stores. Similarly, the PRC subsidiaries’ business segments may be subject to various government and regulatory interference in the regions in which the PRC subsidiaries operate. The PRC subsidiaries could be subject to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. The PRC subsidiaries may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply.

Furthermore, it is uncertain when and whether we or the PRC subsidiaries will be required to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether it will be denied or rescinded. Although neither we nor any of the PRC subsidiaries is currently required to obtain permission from any of the PRC central or local government to obtain such permission and neither we nor any of the PRC subsidiaries has received any denial to list on a U.S. exchange, the PRC subsidiaries’ operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to the PRC subsidiaries’ business or industry, which may also adversely affect the Group as a whole. Recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent, and the PRC government may take actions to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

Additional compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, due to the promulgation of the new filing-based administrative rules for overseas offering and listing by domestic companies in China, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless.

Pursuant to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, we have to file with the CSRC with respect to this offering, and the CSRC will conclude the filing procedures and publish the filing results on the CSRC website within 20 working days after receiving the filing documents, if the filing documents are complete and in compliance with stipulated requirements. However, during the filing process, the CSRC may request the Company to supply additional documents or may consult with competent authorities, the time for which will not be counted in the 20 working days. We are required to complete the filing procedures before the closing of this offering, pursuant to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings. Any material delay in our ability to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares, cause significant disruption to our business operations, and severely damage our reputation, which would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and cause our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or become worthless. Furthermore, on February 24, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, which also became effective on March 31, 2023. According to the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, domestic companies that seek overseas offering and listing (either in direct or indirect means) and the securities companies and securities service (either incorporated domestically or overseas) providers that undertake relevant businesses shall institute a sound confidentiality and archives administration system, and take necessary measures to fulfill confidentiality and archives administration obligations. They shall not leak any state secret or working secret of government agencies, or harm national security and public interests. Therefore, a domestic company that plans to, either directly or 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. The above-mentioned documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, therefore, the domestic company shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable regulations. Furthermore, a domestic company that provides accounting archives or copies of accounting archives to any entities, including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators and individuals, shall fulfill due procedures in compliance with applicable regulations. Working papers

Table of Contents

produced in mainland China by securities companies and securities service providers in the process of undertaking businesses related to overseas offering and listing by domestic companies shall be retained in mainland China. Where such documents need to be transferred or transmitted to areas outside of mainland China, relevant approval procedures stipulated by regulations shall be followed. We believe that this offering does not involve the leaking of any state secret or working secret of government agencies, or the harming of national security and public interests. However, we may be required to perform additional procedures in connection with the provision of accounting archives. The specific requirements of the relevant procedures are currently unclear and we cannot be certain whether we will be able to perform the relevant procedures.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in China against us or our directors and officers named in the prospectus based on foreign laws.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our operations are conducted by the PRC subsidiaries in China, and most of our assets are located in China. In addition, most of our directors and senior executive officers reside within China for a significant portion of the time and are PRC nationals. As a result, it may be difficult for our shareholders to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside China. In addition, China does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts with the Cayman Islands and many other countries and regions. Therefore, recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in any of these non-PRC jurisdictions in relation to any matter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible.

Shareholder claims that are common in the United States, including securities law class actions and fraud claims, generally are difficult to pursue as a matter of law or practicality in China. For example, in China, there are significant legal and other obstacles to obtaining information needed for shareholder investigations or litigation outside China or otherwise with respect to foreign entities. Although the local authorities in China may establish a regulatory cooperation mechanism with the securities regulatory authorities of another country or region to implement cross-border supervision and administration, such regulatory cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the Unities States have not been efficient in the absence of mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. According to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law which took effect in March 2020, overseas securities regulatory authorities may not carry out investigations and evidence collection directly within the territory of mainland China, and that no Chinese entity or individual is allowed to provide any documents or materials related to securities business activities to overseas agencies without prior consent of the securities regulatory authority of the State Council and the competent departments of the State Council. See also “— Risks Relating to Our Ordinary Shares and this Offering — You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.” on page 48 for risks associated with investing in us as a Cayman Islands company.

You may incur additional costs and face procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or our management, as judgments entered in the United States can be enforced in Hong Kong only at common law. To enforce a judgment of the United States in Hong Kong, it must be a final judgment rendered conclusively upon the merits of the claim, for a liquidated amount in a civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges, the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice, and the enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Hong Kong. Such a judgment must be for a fixed sum and must also come from a “competent” court, as determined by the private international law rules applied by the Hong Kong courts.

Furthermore, foreign judgments of United States courts will not be directly enforced in Hong Kong. There are currently no treaties or other arrangements providing for reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments between Hong Kong and the United States. However, the common law of Hong Kong permits an action to be brought upon a foreign judgment. A foreign judgment itself may form the basis of a cause of action, since the judgment may be regarded as creating a debt between the parties to such action. The defenses that are available to a defendant in a common law action brought on the basis of a foreign judgment include lack of jurisdiction, breach of natural justice, fraud, and contrary to public policy. However, a separate legal action for debt must be commenced in Hong Kong in order to recover such debt from the judgment debtor. A foreign judgment of the United States predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United

Table of Contents

States or the securities laws of any State or territory within the United States may be enforceable in Hong Kong, but will be subject to the conditions with regard to enforcement of such judgments being met, including but not limited to the foregoing requirements. See “Enforceability of Civil Liabilities” beginning on page 58.

Any requirement to obtain prior approval under the M&A Rules and/or any other regulations promulgated by relevant PRC regulatory agencies in the future could delay this offering and failure to obtain any such approvals, if required, could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, operating results and reputation, as well as the trading price of our Ordinary Shares, and could also create uncertainties for this offering and affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors outside China.

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, including the Ministry of Commerce (the “MOFCOM”), the State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (the “SASAC”), the State Administration of Taxation (the “SAT”), the State Administration of Industry and Commerce (the “SAIC”), the CSRC, and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (the “SAFE”), jointly adopted the M&A Rules, which came into effect on September 8, 2006 and were amended on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules include, among other things, provisions that purport to require that an offshore special purpose vehicle formed for the purpose of an overseas listing of securities in a PRC entity obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such special purpose vehicle’s securities on an overseas stock exchange. On September 21, 2006, the CSRC published on its official website procedures regarding its approval of overseas listings by special purpose vehicles. However, substantial uncertainty remains regarding the scope and applicability of the M&A Rules to offshore special purpose vehicles.

While the application of the M&A Rules remains unclear, we believe, based on the advice of our PRC counsel, Jingtian & Gongcheng, that (i) because we are not an SPV which acquires PRC domestic companies’ equity with our shares prior to the listing of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq, we are not required to submit an application to the CSRC for its approval of this offering and the listing and trading of our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq under the M&A Rules; and (ii) there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations and future PRC laws and regulations, and there can be no assurance that the relevant government agencies will take a view that is contrary to, or otherwise different from, the conclusion stated above. Substantial uncertainty remains regarding the scope and applicability of the M&A Rules to offshore special purpose vehicles. If the CSRC or other PRC regulatory body subsequently determines that we need to obtain the CSRC’s approval for this offering or if the CSRC or any other PRC government authorities promulgates any interpretation or implements rules before our listing that would require us to obtain CSRC or other governmental approvals for this offering under the M&A Rules, we may face adverse actions or sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. In any such event, these regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on the PRC subsidiaries’ operations in China, limit the PRC subsidiaries operating privileges in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as our ability to complete this offering. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery, you do so at the risk that such settlement and delivery may not occur. See “Regulations — M&A Rules and Regulation on Overseas Listings” on page 109.

In addition, the security review rules issued by the MOFCOM that took effect in September 2011 specify that if a merger and acquisition of domestic enterprise by a foreign investor falls within the M&A safety review scope, the foreign investor shall file an application for M&A safety review to the Ministry of Commerce. The M&A safety review scope is as follows: foreign investors’ M&A of domestic military industry enterprises and military industry support enterprises, enterprises around key and sensitive military facilities, and other units which have impact on national defense security; and foreign investors’ M&A of domestic enterprises, which have impact on the national security, in fields of important agricultural products, important energy and resources, important infrastructure, important transport service, key technology and major equipment manufacturing, etc. and such M&A may result in foreign investors’ acquirement of actual control over the enterprises. The rules prohibit any activities attempting to bypass a security review, including by holding on agency basis, trust, multi-tier reinvestment, leasing, loan, control by agreement, overseas transactions, etc.

The PRC subsidiaries are not operating in an industry that prohibits or limits foreign investment. As a result, the PRC subsidiaries are not required to obtain any permission from Chinese authorities to operate, other than those permissions a domestic company in China will need to engage in businesses similar to the PRC subsidiaries’. Such licenses

Table of Contents

and permissions include a Business License, Medical Device Registration Certificate, Medical Device Production Certificate, Medical Device Selling Certificate, Record Form of Medical Device Products, Certificate of Class I medical device production recordation, Certificate of Class II medical device selling recordation, Record Registration Form for Foreign Trade Business Operators, and Certificate of the Customs of the People’s Republic of China on Registration of a Customs Declaration Entity. The PRC subsidiaries have obtained the above licenses and permissions to conduct their business in China. However, the PRC government may take actions to exert more oversight and control over offerings by China-based issuers conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in such companies, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors outside China and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

In the future, the PRC subsidiaries may grow their business by acquiring complementary businesses. Complying with the requirements of the above-mentioned regulations and other relevant rules to complete such transactions, if required, could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the MOFCOM or its local counterparts may delay or inhibit the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to complete such transactions. It is unclear whether the PRC subsidiaries’ business would be deemed to be in an industry that raises “national defense security” or “national security” concerns. However, the MOFCOM or other government agencies may publish explanations in the future determining that the PRC subsidiaries’ business is in an industry subject to the security review, in which case the PRC subsidiaries’ future acquisitions in the PRC, may be closely scrutinized or prohibited. The PRC subsidiaries’ abilities to expand the business or maintain or expand market share through future acquisitions would as such be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, according to the M&A Rules, if a PRC entity or individual plans to merge or acquire its related PRC entity through an overseas company legitimately incorporated or controlled by such entity or individual, such a merger and acquisition will be subject to examination and approval by the MOFCOM. There is a possibility that the PRC regulators may promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that the PRC subsidiaries obtain the approval of the MOFCOM or other PRC governmental authorities for the PRC subsidiaries’ completed or ongoing mergers and acquisitions. There is no assurance that, if the PRC subsidiaries plan to make an acquisition, they can obtain such approval from the MOFCOM or any other relevant PRC governmental authorities for their mergers and acquisitions, and if the PRC subsidiaries fail to obtain those approvals, they may be required to suspend their acquisition and be subject to penalties. Any uncertainties regarding such approval requirements could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, results of operations and corporate structure.

In addition, on July 6, 2021, the relevant PRC government authorities made public the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies and proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems to deal with the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies. Pursuant to the Opinions, Chinese regulators are required to accelerate rulemaking related to the overseas issuance and listing of securities, and update the existing laws and regulations related to data security, cross-border data flow, and management of confidential information. Numerous regulations, guidelines and other measures are expected to be adopted under the umbrella of or in addition to the Cybersecurity Law and Data Security Law. As of the date of this prospectus, no official guidance or related implementation rules have been issued yet and the interpretation of these opinions remains unclear at this stage.

On July 10, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (Revision Draft for Comments) for public comments, which proposes 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 an operator that possess the personal data of more than one million users. The operators refer to operators of critical information infrastructure and data processors. On November 14, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China issued the Regulations on Network Data Security (draft for public comments) which set forth cyber data security compliance requirements in greater detail. On December 28, 2021, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review (2021 version) were promulgated and took effect on February 15, 2022, which provide that any “online platform operators” controlling personal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should also be subject to cybersecurity review. Neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries do expect to be subject to cybersecurity review, because the PRC subsidiaries currently engage in the manufacture and sale of medical devices and neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries possess personal information of over one million users. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries have been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by the Cyberspace Administration of China, and neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries have received any warning, sanction or penalty in such respect. However, the Measures for Cybersecurity Review were recently adopted and the Regulations on Network Data Security (draft for public comments) are in the process of being formulated and the Opinions remain

unclear on how it will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC governmental authorities. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, which came into force on March 31, 2023. According to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, among other things, a domestic company in the PRC that seeks to offer and list securities on overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedures with the CSRC as per requirement of the Trial Administrative Measures. Where a domestic company seeks to directly offer and list securities on overseas markets, the issuer shall file with the CSRC. Where a domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities on overseas markets, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity, which shall, as the domestic responsible entity, file with the CSRC. Initial public offerings or listings on overseas markets shall be filed with the CSRC within 3 working days after the relevant application is submitted overseas. See “— Additional compliance procedures may be required in connection with this offering, due to the promulgation of the new filing-based administrative rules for overseas offering and listing by domestic companies in China, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares to investors and could cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline or become worthless” on page 21. Furthermore, if the CSRC or other regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we or the PRC subsidiaries obtain their prior approvals or ex-post record-filing for this offering and any follow-on offering, we or the PRC subsidiaries may be unable to obtain such approvals or record-filing which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to our investors.

Except for the filing procedures with the CSRC, as of the date of this prospectus, we do not believe we or the PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain any permission from any PRC governmental authorities to offer securities to foreign investors. We have been closely monitoring regulatory developments in China regarding any necessary approvals from the CSRC or other PRC governmental authorities required for overseas listings, including this offering and offering securities to foreign investors. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries have received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanctions or regulatory objection to this offering from the CSRC or other PRC governmental authorities. However, there remains significant uncertainty as to the enactment, interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements related to overseas securities offerings and other capital markets activities. If it is determined in the future that the approval of the CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China or any other regulatory authority is required for this offering, we or the PRC subsidiaries may face sanctions by the CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China or other PRC regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on the PRC subsidiaries’ operations in China, limit the PRC subsidiaries ability to pay dividends outside of China, limit the PRC subsidiaries’ operations in China, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into China or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of our securities. The CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China or other PRC regulatory agencies also may take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of our Ordinary Shares. Consequently, if you engage in market trading or other activities in anticipation of and prior to settlement and delivery, you do so at the risk that settlement and delivery may not occur. In addition, if the Cyberspace Administration of China or other PRC regulatory agencies later promulgate new rules requiring that we or the PRC subsidiaries obtain their approvals for this offering, we or the PRC subsidiaries may be unable to obtain such approval or a waiver of such approval requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such an approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our securities.

Hong Kong does not have a comprehensive cyber or data security law. The Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Chapter 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“PDPO”) is the main legislation in Hong Kong which aims to protect the privacy of individuals in relation to personal data, and to regulate the collection, holding, processing, or use of personal data based on a set of data protection principles. The PDPO regulates the conduct of a data user, i.e. any person who, either alone or jointly or in common with other persons, controls the collection, holding, processing or use of personal data.

Pursuant to Section 33 of the PDPO, the PDPO is applicable to the collection and processing of personal data if such activities take place in Hong Kong, or if the personal data is collected by a data user whose principal place of business is in Hong Kong. Contravention with the data protection principals set out in PDPO may entitle the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data to issue a written notice directing the data user to remedy and prevent recurrence of any contravention. As of the date of this prospectus, we have neither collected nor processed any personal data in Hong Kong, and our Hong Kong subsidiary, Work Medical Technology, has not collected or processed any personal data. Therefore, we believe the PDPO does not currently have any material impact on our Hong Kong subsidiary’s business, or our business, financial condition or this offering. However, if (i) we or our Hong Kong subsidiary do not comply with any privacy laws or regulations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized release or transfer of personally

Table of Contents

identifiable information or users’ personal data, or (ii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations thereof change and we or our Hong Kong subsidiary become subject to any requirements for additional permissions or approvals in the future, we or our Hong Kong subsidiary may have to expend significant time and costs to procure them. If we or our Hong Kong subsidiary is unable to do so, on commercially reasonable terms, in a timely manner or otherwise, we or our Hong Kong subsidiary may become subject to governmental enforcement actions, litigation or public statements against us or our Hong Kong subsidiary by customers or others, and our and our Hong Kong subsidiary’s and business, reputation, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, although Work Medical Technology, our Hong Kong subsidiary, is an investment holding company, the legal and operational risks associated with operating in mainland China may also apply to the future limited activities (if any) in Hong Kong of Work Medical Technology, to the extent that they are made applicable to such entity and its anticipated operations. Work Medical Technology, as of the date of this prospectus, has yet to commence operations, and is expected to be limited to operating as an investment holding company in the future without any substantive or data-related operations in Hong Kong. However, such operations may be affected if Hong Kong adopts rules, regulations or policy guidance with respect to currency exchange control. Furthermore, as of the date of this prospectus, we do not expect that any regulatory actions related to data security or anti-monopoly concerns in Hong Kong will impact the Company’s ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or list on a U.S. or foreign exchange, because we have never had and do not plan to have any material operations in Hong Kong.

PRC regulations regarding acquisitions impose significant regulatory approval and review requirements, which could make it more difficult for the PRC subsidiaries to pursue growth through acquisitions.

Under the Anti-Monopoly Law, companies undertaking acquisitions relating to businesses in China must notify the State Council’s anti-monopoly law enforcement authority, in advance of any transaction where the parties’ revenue in the China market exceed certain thresholds and the buyer would obtain control of, or decisive influence over, the target, while under the M&A Rules, the approval of MOFCOM must be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by PRC entities or residents acquire domestic companies affiliated with such PRC entities or residents. Applicable PRC laws, rules and regulations also require certain merger and acquisition transactions to be subject to security review. Due to the level of our revenue, the PRC subsidiaries’ proposed acquisition of control of, or decisive influence over, any company with revenue within China of more than RMB400 million in the year prior to any proposed acquisition would be subject to the State Council’s anti-monopoly law enforcement authority’s merger control review. As a result, many of the transactions the PRC subsidiaries may undertake could be subject to the State Council’s anti-monopoly law enforcement authority’s merger review. Complying with the requirements of the relevant regulations to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including approval from the State Council’s anti-monopoly law enforcement authority, may delay or inhibit the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to complete such transactions, which could affect the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to expand their business or maintain market share, and which may adversely affect the Group as a whole. If the practice of the State Council’s anti-monopoly law enforcement authority and MOFCOM remains unchanged, the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to carry out their investment and acquisition strategy may be materially and adversely affected and there may be significant uncertainty as to whether the PRC subsidiaries will be able to complete large acquisitions in the future in a timely manner or at all, which could adversely affect the expansion goals of the Group.

PRC regulations relating to investments in offshore companies by PRC residents may subject our PRC-resident beneficial owners or the PRC subsidiaries to liability or penalties, limit our ability to inject capital into the PRC subsidiaries or limit the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to increase their registered capital or distribute profits.

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 the SAFE Circular 37, on July 4, 2014, which replaced the former circular commonly known as “SAFE Circular 75” promulgated by SAFE on October 21, 2005. SAFE Circular 37 requires PRC residents to register with local branches of SAFE in connection with their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity, for the purpose of overseas investment and financing, with such PRC residents’ legally owned assets or equity interests in domestic enterprises or offshore assets or interests, referred to in SAFE Circular 37 as a “special purpose vehicle.” SAFE Circular 37 further requires amendment to the registration in the event of any significant changes with respect to the special purpose vehicle, such as increase or decrease of capital contributed by PRC individuals, share transfer or exchange, merger, division or other material event. In the event that a Chinese mainland shareholder-holding interests in a special purpose vehicle fails to fulfill the required SAFE registration, the PRC subsidiaries of that special purpose vehicle may be

Table of Contents

prohibited from making profit distributions to the offshore parent and from carrying out subsequent cross-border foreign exchange activities, and the special purpose vehicle may be restricted in its ability to contribute additional capital into its PRC subsidiary. Moreover, failure to comply with the various SAFE registration requirements described above could result in liability under PRC law for evasion of foreign exchange controls.

We have notified substantial beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares who we know are PRC residents of their filing obligation, and are aware that all substantial beneficial owners have completed the necessary registration with the local SAFE branch or qualified banks as required by SAFE Circular 37. However, we may not at all times be aware of the identities of all of our beneficial owners who are PRC residents. We do not have control over our beneficial owners and cannot assure you that all of our PRC-resident beneficial owners will comply with SAFE Circular 37 and subsequent implementation rules. The failure of our beneficial owners who are PRC residents to register or amend their SAFE registrations in a timely manner pursuant to SAFE Circular 37 and subsequent implementation rules, or the failure of future beneficial owners of our company who are PRC residents to comply with the registration procedures set forth in SAFE Circular 37 and subsequent implementation rules, may subject such beneficial owners or the PRC subsidiaries to fines and legal sanctions. Furthermore, since it is unclear how SAFE Circular 37, and any future regulation concerning offshore or cross-border transactions, will be interpreted, amended and implemented by the relevant PRC government authorities, we cannot predict how these regulations will affect the PRC subsidiaries’ business operations or future strategy. Failure to register or comply with relevant requirements may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital to the PRC subsidiaries and limit the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends to our company. These risks may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

We are an offshore holding company conducting our operations in China through the PRC subsidiaries. We may make loans to PRC subsidiaries subject to the approval from governmental authorities and limitation of amount, or we may make additional capital contributions to our subsidiaries in China.

Any loans to our WFOE in China, which is treated as a foreign-invested enterprise under PRC law, are subject to PRC regulations and foreign exchange loan registrations. For example, loans by us to our WFOE in China to finance its activities cannot exceed statutory limits and must be registered with the local counterpart of SAFE. 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 enterprise or the payment prohibited by relevant laws and regulations; (ii) directly or indirectly used for investment in securities 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).

SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming the Administration of Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19, effective on June 2015, in replacement of the Circular on the Relevant Operating Issues Concerning the Improvement of the Administration of the Payment and Settlement of Foreign Currency Capital of Foreign-Invested Enterprises, the Notice from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Relevant Issues Concerning Strengthening the Administration of Foreign Exchange Businesses, and the Circular on Further Clarification and Regulation of the Issues Concerning the Administration of Certain Capital Account Foreign Exchange Businesses. Although SAFE Circular 19 allows RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested enterprise to be used for equity investments within China, it also reiterates the principle that RMB converted from the foreign currency-denominated capital of a foreign-invested company may not be directly or indirectly used for purposes beyond its business scope. Thus, it is unclear whether SAFE will permit such capital to be used for equity investments in China in actual practice. SAFE promulgated the Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Standardizing the Foreign Exchange Settlement Management Policy of Capital Account, or SAFE Circular 16, effective on June 9, 2016, which reiterates some of the rules set forth in SAFE Circular 19, but changes the prohibition against using RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign-invested company to issue RMB entrusted loans to a prohibition against using such capital to issue loans to non-associated enterprises. Violations of SAFE Circular 19 and

Table of Contents

SAFE Circular 16 could result in administrative penalties. SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16 may significantly limit our ability to transfer any foreign currency we hold, including the net proceeds from this offering, to our WFOE, which may adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand the PRC subsidiaries’ business in China.

On October 23, 2019, SAFE issued the Circular on Further Promoting Cross-border Trade and Investment Facilitation, or SAFE Circular 28, which took effect on the same day. SAFE Circular 28, subject to certain conditions, allows foreign-invested enterprises whose business scope does not include investment, or non-investment foreign-invested enterprises, to use their capital funds to make equity investments in China. Since SAFE Circular 28 was issued only recently, its interpretation and implementation in practice are still subject to substantial uncertainties.

In light of the various requirements imposed by PRC regulations on loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies, and the fact that the PRC government may at its discretion restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions in the future, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the necessary government registrations or obtain the necessary government approvals on a timely basis, if at all, with respect to future loans to PRC subsidiaries in or future capital contributions by us to our WFOE in China. As a result, uncertainties exist as to our ability to provide prompt financial support to the PRC subsidiaries when needed. If we fail to complete such registrations or obtain such approvals, our ability to use the proceeds we expect to receive from this offering and to capitalize or otherwise fund the PRC operations may be negatively affected, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand the PRC subsidiaries’ business.

We rely to a significant extent on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries to fund offshore cash and financing requirements and any limitation on the ability of the PRC subsidiaries to make remittance to pay dividends to us could limit our ability to access cash generated by the operations of those entities.

We are a holding company and rely to a significant extent on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries for our offshore cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders, fund inter-company loans, service any debt we may incur outside of China and pay our expenses. The laws, rules and regulations applicable to the PRC subsidiaries permit payments of dividends only out of their retained earnings, if any, determined in accordance with applicable accounting standards and regulations.

Under PRC laws, rules and regulations, each of our subsidiaries incorporated in mainland China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, after making up for previous years’ accumulated losses, if any, to fund certain statutory reserves, until the aggregate amount of such fund reaches 50% of its registered capital. As a result of these laws, rules and regulations, our subsidiaries incorporated in mainland China are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their respective net assets to their shareholders as dividends. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, these restricted assets were $833,541 and $833,541.

Limitations on the ability of the PRC subsidiaries to make remittance to pay dividends to us could limit our ability to access cash generated by the operations of those entities, including to make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our businesses, pay dividends to our shareholders or otherwise fund and conduct our business.

We may be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, and we may therefore be subject to PRC income tax on our global income.

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementing rules, both of which came into effect on January 1, 2008 and were last amended on December 29, 2018, enterprises established under the laws of jurisdictions outside of China with “de facto management bodies” located in China may be considered PRC tax resident enterprises for tax purposes and may be subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their global income. “De facto management body” refers to a managing body that exercises substantive and overall management and control over the production and business, personnel, accounting books and assets of an enterprise. The SAT issued the Notice Regarding the Determination of Chinese-Controlled Offshore-Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the Basis of De Facto Management Bodies, or the SAT Circular 82, on April 22, 2009. SAT Circular 82 provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the “de facto management body” of a Chinese-controlled offshore-incorporated enterprise is located in China. Although Circular 82 only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by PRC enterprises, not those controlled by individuals or foreign enterprises, the determining criteria set forth in SAT Circular 82 may reflect the SAT’s general position on how the “de facto management body” test should be applied in determining the tax resident status of offshore enterprises, regardless of whether they are controlled by PRC enterprises. If we were to be considered a PRC resident enterprise, we would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on our

global income, and our profitability and cash flow may be materially reduced as a result of our global income being taxed under the Enterprise Income Tax Law. We believe that none of our entities outside of mainland China is a PRC resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes. However, the tax resident status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body.”

Dividends payable to our foreign investors and gains on the sale of our Ordinary Shares by our foreign investors may be subject to PRC tax.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation regulations issued by the State Council, a 10% PRC withholding tax is applicable to dividends payable to investors that are non-resident enterprises, which do not have an establishment or place of business in mainland China or which have such establishment or place of business but the dividends are not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business, to the extent such dividends are derived from sources within mainland China. Any gain realized on the transfer of Ordinary Shares by such investors is also subject to PRC 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 mainland China. If we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, dividends paid on our Ordinary Shares, and any gain realized from the transfer of our Ordinary Shares, may be treated as income derived from sources within mainland China and may as a result be subject to PRC taxation. See “Regulations — Regulations Relating to Taxation.” Furthermore, if we are deemed a PRC resident enterprise, dividends payable to individual investors who are non-PRC residents and any gain realized on the transfer of Ordinary Shares by such investors may be subject to PRC tax at a current rate of 20%. Any PRC tax liability may be reduced under applicable tax treaties. However, it is unclear whether holders of our Ordinary Shares would be able to claim the benefit of income tax treaties or agreements entered into between China and other countries or areas if we are considered a PRC resident enterprise. If dividends payable to our non-PRC investors, or gains from the transfer of our Ordinary Shares by such investors are subject to PRC tax, the value of your investment in our Ordinary Shares may decline significantly.

We and our shareholders face uncertainties with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies.

On February 3, 2015, the SAT issued the Announcement on Several Issues Concerning the Enterprise Income Tax on Indirect Transfer of Assets by Non-Resident Enterprises, or the SAT Circular 7. The SAT Circular 7 extends its tax jurisdiction to transactions involving the transfer of taxable assets through offshore transfer of a foreign intermediate holding company. In addition, SAT Circular 7 has introduced safe harbors for internal group restructurings and the purchase and sale of equity through a public securities market. SAT Circular 7 also brings challenges to both foreign transferor and transferee (or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer) of taxable assets. On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Announcement on Issues Relating to Withholding at Source of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises, or the SAT Circular 37, which came into effect on December 1, 2017. The SAT Circular 37 further clarifies the practice and procedures of the withholding of non-resident enterprise income tax.

Where a non-resident enterprise transfers taxable assets indirectly by disposing of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, which is an Indirect Transfer, the non-resident enterprise as either transferor or transferee, or the PRC entity that directly owns the taxable assets, may report such Indirect Transfer to the relevant tax authority. Using a “substance over form” principle, the PRC tax authority may disregard the existence of the overseas holding company if it lacks a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of reducing, avoiding or deferring PRC tax. As a result, gains derived from such Indirect Transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, and the transferee or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer is obligated to withhold the applicable taxes, currently at a rate of 10% for the transfer of equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise. Both the transferor and the transferee may be subject to penalties under PRC tax laws if the transferee fails to withhold the taxes and the transferor fails to pay the taxes.

We face uncertainties as to the reporting and other implications of certain past and future transactions where PRC taxable assets are involved, such as offshore restructuring, sale of the shares in our offshore subsidiaries and investments. Our company may be subject to filing obligations or taxed if our company is transferor in such transactions, and may be subject to withholding obligations if our company is transferee in such transactions, under SAT Circular 7 and/or SAT Circular 37. For transfer of shares in our company that do not qualify for the public securities market safe harbor by investors who are non-PRC resident enterprises, the PRC subsidiaries may be requested to assist in the filing under SAT Circular 7 and/or SAT Circular 37. As a result, we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with SAT Circular 7 and/or SAT Circular 37 or to request the relevant transferors from whom we purchase taxable assets to comply with these circulars, or to establish that our company should not be taxed under these circulars, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenue effectively.

All of our revenue is denominated in Renminbi. The Renminbi is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and loans, including loans we may secure from our onshore subsidiaries. Currently, PRC subsidiaries may purchase foreign currency for settlement of “current account transactions,” including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant PRC governmental authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. Since we expect a significant portion of our future revenue will be denominated in Renminbi, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in Renminbi to fund our business activities outside of the PRC or pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant PRC governmental authorities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our subsidiaries.

Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses to us and may reduce the value of, and amount in U.S. Dollars of dividends payable on, our shares in foreign currency terms.

The value of the RMB and the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in political and economic conditions and the foreign exchange policy adopted by the PRC government. In August 2015, the People’s Bank of China, or the PBOC, changed the way it calculates the mid-point price of RMB against the U.S. dollar, requiring the market-makers who submit for reference rates to consider the previous day’s closing spot rate, foreign-exchange demand and supply as well as changes in major currency rates. In 2017, the value of the Renminbi appreciated by approximately 6.3% against the U.S. dollar; and in 2018, the Renminbi depreciated by approximately 5.7% against the U.S. dollar. From the end of 2018 through the end of December 2020, the value of the Renminbi appreciated by approximately 5.10% against the U.S. dollar. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy, including any interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve, may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar in the future. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt a more flexible currency policy, including from the U.S. government, which has threatened to label China as a “currency manipulator,” which could result in greater fluctuation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar. However, the PRC government may still at its discretion restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions in the future. Therefore, it is difficult to predict how market forces or government policies may impact the exchange rate between the RMB and the U.S. dollar or other currencies in the future. In addition, the PBOC regularly intervenes in the foreign exchange market to limit fluctuations in RMB exchange rates and achieve policy goals. If the exchange rate between RMB and U.S. dollar fluctuates in unanticipated manners, our results of operations and financial condition, and the value of, and dividends payable on, our shares in foreign currency terms may be adversely affected. We may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders. Appreciation of RMB to U.S dollar will result in exchange loss, while depreciation of RMB to U.S dollar will result in exchange gain.

Failure to make adequate contributions to various employee benefit plans and withhold individual income tax on employees’ salaries as required by PRC regulations may subject the PRC subsidiaries to penalties.

Companies operating in China are required to participate in various government-mandated employee benefit contribution plans, including certain social insurance, housing funds and other welfare-oriented payment obligations, and contribute to the plans in amounts equal to certain percentages of salaries, including bonuses and allowances, of the PRC subsidiaries’ employees up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time at locations where the PRC subsidiaries operate their businesses. The requirement of employee benefit contribution plans has not been implemented consistently by the local governments in China, given the different levels of economic development in different locations. Companies operating in China are also required to withhold individual income tax on employees’ salaries based on the actual salary of each employee upon payment. The PRC subsidiaries may be subject to late fees and fines in relation to the underpaid employee benefits and under-withheld individual income tax, which may adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

As of the date of this prospectus, (i) some of the PRC subsidiaries have not completed the social insurance registration and the housing fund registration; (ii) the PRC subsidiaries did not make contributions in the full amount for the social insurance fund and the housing provident fund for their employees, as required under the relevant PRC laws and regulations; and (iii) the PRC subsidiaries did not make contributions in the housing fund for some employees. For the fiscal years of 2022 and 2021, $295,009 and $420,317 of contributions for the social insurance fund, respectively, should have been made but were not. For the fiscal years of 2022 and 2021, $92,945 and $181,984 of contributions for the housing provident fund, respectively, should have been made but were not.

Although the PRC subsidiaries have not received any order or notice from the local authorities, nor any claims or complaints from their current and former employees regarding such non-compliance, we cannot assure you that the PRC subsidiaries will not be subject to any order to rectify non-compliance in the future, nor can we assure you that there will not be any employee complaints regarding social insurance payments or housing provident fund contributions against the PRC subsidiaries, or that the PRC subsidiaries will not receive any claims in respect of social insurance payments or housing provident fund contributions under the PRC laws and regulations. In addition, the PRC subsidiaries may incur additional costs to comply with such laws and regulations by the PRC government or relevant local authorities. Any such development could materially and adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors. The delisting of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non- inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two.

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act states if the SEC determines that a company has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit such Ordinary Shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter trading market in the U.S.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the HFCA Act. A company will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies it as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCA Act, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, the Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things, an identical provision to the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCA Act from three years to two. On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCA Act, which provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCA Act, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the 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 PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a Determination Report which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (i) mainland China, and (ii) Hong Kong. Our auditor is not headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified in this report as a firm subject to the PCAOB’s determination. On August 26, 2022, CSRC, the MOF, and the PCAOB signed a Protocol, which sets out specific arrangements on conducting inspections and investigations over relevant audit firms within the jurisdiction of both the PRC and the U.S., including the audit firms based in mainland China and Hong Kong, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a new determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor, then such lack of inspection could cause our securities to be delisted from the stock exchange.

Furthermore, various equity-based research organizations have recently published reports on China-based companies after examining their corporate governance practices, related party transactions, sales practices and financial statements, and these reports have led to special investigations and listing suspensions on U.S. national exchanges. Any

similar scrutiny on us, regardless of its lack of merit, could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to fall, divert management resources and energy, cause us to incur expenses in defending ourselves against rumors, and increase the premiums we pay for director and officer insurance.

Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus, 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’s registration with the PCAOB took effect in San Mateo, California and it is currently subject to PCAOB inspections. The PCAOB currently has access to inspect the working papers of our auditor and its latest inspection was completed in November 2021. However, the recent developments would add uncertainties to our offering and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements.

The SEC may propose additional rules or guidance that could impact us if our auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspection. For example, on August 6, 2020, the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets, or the PWG, issued the Report on Protecting United States Investors from Significant Risks from Chinese Companies to the then President of the United States. This report recommended the SEC implement five recommendations to address companies from jurisdictions that do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to fulfil its statutory mandate. Some of the concepts of these recommendations were implemented with the enactment of the HFCA Act. However, some of the recommendations were more stringent than the HFCA Act. For example, if a company’s auditor was not subject to PCAOB inspection, the report recommended that the transition period before a company would be delisted would end on January 1, 2022.

The SEC has announced that the SEC staff is preparing a consolidated proposal for the rules regarding the implementation of the HFCA Act and to address the recommendations in the PWG report. It is unclear when the SEC will complete its rulemaking and when such rules will become effective and what, if any, of the PWG recommendations will be adopted. The implications of this possible regulation in addition to the requirements of the HFCA Act are uncertain. While we understand that there has been dialogue among the CSRC, the SEC and the PCAOB regarding the inspection of PCAOB-registered accounting firms in China, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with requirements imposed by U.S. regulators. Such uncertainty could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted and prohibited from being traded on the national securities exchange earlier than would be required by the HFCA Act. If our securities are unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our Ordinary Shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our Ordinary Shares. The delisting of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment, even making it worthless.

Further, new laws and regulations or changes in laws and regulations in both the United States and China could affect our ability to list our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, which could materially impair the market for and market price of our Ordinary Shares.

The enactment of Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Hong Kong Autonomy Act of U.S. could impact our Hong Kong holding subsidiary.

On June 30, 2020, the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress adopted the Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong National Security Law). This law defines the duties and government bodies of the Hong Kong National Security Law for safeguarding national security and four categories of offences — secession, subversion, terrorist activities, and collusion with a foreign country or external elements to endanger national security — and their corresponding penalties. On July 14, 2020, U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act (“HKAA”), into law, authorizing the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. On August 7, 2020, the U.S. government imposed HKAA-authorized sanctions on eleven individuals, including former chief executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Carrie Lam. On October 14, 2020, the U.S. State Department submitted to relevant committees of Congress the report required under HKAA, identifying persons materially contributing to “the failure of the Government of China to meet its obligations under the Joint Declaration or the Basic Law.” The HKAA further authorizes secondary sanctions, including the imposition of blocking sanctions, against foreign financial institutions that knowingly conduct a significant transaction

with foreign persons sanctioned under this authority. The imposition of sanctions may directly affect the foreign financial institutions as well as any third parties or customers dealing with any foreign financial institution that is targeted. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the Hong Kong National Security Law and HKAA on Hong Kong and companies located in Hong Kong. If our Hong Kong subsidiary is determined to be in violation of the Hong Kong National Security Law or the HKAA by competent authorities, our business operations, financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to the PRC Subsidiaries’ Business and Industry

The PRC subsidiaries’ operating history may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results and the PRC subsidiaries may not be able to sustain their historical growth rates.

The PRC subsidiaries’ operating history may not be indicative of their future growth or financial results. There is no assurance that the PRC subsidiaries will be able to grow their revenue in future periods. Their growth rates may decline for any number of possible reasons, and some of them are beyond their control, including decreasing customer demand, increasing competition, declining growth of the medical device industry in general, emergence of alternative business models, or changes in government policies or general economic conditions. The PRC subsidiaries expect to continue to expand their sales network and product offerings to bring greater convenience to their customers and to increase their customer base and number of transactions. However, the execution of their expansion plan is subject to uncertainty and the total number of items sold and number of transacting customers may not grow at the rate they expect for the reasons stated above. If their growth rates decline, investors’ perceptions of their business and prospects may be adversely affected and the market price of our Ordinary Shares could decline.

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

The quality and safety of the PRC subsidiaries’ products, whether self-manufactured or out-sourced, are critical to our success. As a medical device manufacturer with a history of over 20 years, quality and safety are always the core values, as medical devices are directly used for the human body and thus essential to the human health. The PRC subsidiaries 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 their quality control system, which in turn depends on a number of factors, including, but not limited to the design of a quality control system, employee training to ensure that employees adhere to and implement the quality control policies and procedures and the effectiveness of monitoring any potential violation of their quality control policies and procedures. Despite such quality control management system, the PRC subsidiaries cannot eliminate the risks of errors, defects or failures. They may fail to detect or cure defects as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside their control. Please refer to “Business — Quality Control” for more information.

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

As of the date of this prospectus, the PRC subsidiaries are unaware of material quality accidents.

The PRC subsidiaries may experience significant liability claims or complaints from customers, doctors and patients, litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings, such as claiming in relation to medical device safety, or adverse publicity involving their products, which could adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and our financial condition and results of operations.

The PRC subsidiaries face an inherent risk of liability claims or complaints from customers, doctors and patients. The PRC subsidiaries take those complaints and claims seriously and endeavor to reduce such complaints by implementing various remedial measures. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that they can successfully prevent or address all complaints.

Table of Contents

Any complaints or claims against the PRC subsidiaries, even if meritless and unsuccessful, may divert management attention and other resources from the PRC subsidiaries’ business and adversely affect their business and operations. Customers may lose confidence in the PRC subsidiaries and their brands, which may adversely affect their 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 medical device quality and safety, public health concerns, illness, injuries, whether or not accurate, and whether or not concerning the PRC subsidiaries’ products, can adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ business, results of operations and reputation.

The PRC subsidiaries face potential liability, expenses for legal claims and harm due to the nature of their business. For example, customers could assert legal claims against them in connection with personal injuries or illness related to the use of medical devices they sell. The PRC government, media outlets and public advocacy groups have been increasingly focused on customer protection in recent years. Selling of defective products may expose the PRC subsidiaries to liabilities associated with customer protection laws. The PRC subsidiaries may be responsible for compensation on a customer’s loss even if personal injuries or illness are not caused by them. Thus, they may also be held liable if their suppliers or other business partners fail to comply with applicable product quality and safety related rules and regulations. Though they can ask the responsible parties for indemnity after that, their reputation could still be adversely affected.

The PRC subsidiaries may face additional exposure to claims and lawsuits. These claims could divert management time and attention away from their business and result in significant costs to investigate and defend, regardless of the merits of the claims. In some instances, they may elect or be forced to pay substantial damages if they are unsuccessful in their efforts to defend against these claims, which could harm their business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the PRC subsidiaries’ directors, management and employees may from time to time be subject to litigation and regulatory investigations and proceedings or otherwise face potential liability and expense in relation to medical device quality and safety, commercial, labor, employment, securities or other matters, which could adversely affect their and respective reputations and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

Moreover, the PRC subsidiaries’ products may be subject to recall by competent authorities if they fail to comply with certain quality requirements. Recalls may be accompanied by claims or lawsuits for breaches of contract, for the inability to provide products of a certain quality on time, for which the PRC subsidiaries may elect or be forced to pay substantial damages if they are unsuccessful in their efforts to defend against these claims or lawsuits, and thus, could harm their business, and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

On December 9, 2019, Hangzhou Shanyou was required to recall a batch of disposable breathing circuits and arrange internal rectification, since a connection part was insufficiently welded at the machine end and a circuit did not pass the leakage test. Thereafter, Hangzhou Shanyou recalled all of the breathing circuits involved and arranged the internal rectification.

On November 16, 2020, Hangzhou Shanyou was required to recall 20,000 disposable medical masks by Heilongjiang Provincial Drug Administration, because the mask strings failed to comply with an elastic requirement.

The PRC subsidiaries have not, as of the date of this prospectus, been notified that they will be subject to any punishment, nor are they aware of any risk, currently or in the foreseeable future, regarding these recalls by the relevant government authorities, however, there is no assurance that the relevant government authorities will not later determine that a basis does exist for punishment with respect to recalled products.

As of the date of this prospectus, the PRC subsidiaries are not aware of any warning, investigations, prosecutions, disputes, claims or other proceedings in respect of customer protection rights or breaches of contract, nor have they been punished or can foresee any punishment to be made by any government authorities of the PRC or any in any overseas jurisdiction, however, there is no assurance that such entities will not find a basis in the future for investigations, prosecutions, disputes, claims or other proceedings with respect to customer protection rights or breaches of contract with respect to the PRC subsidiaries products, which could adversely harm their business, and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

The PRC subsidiaries face the risk of fluctuations in the cost, availability and quality of their raw materials, which could adversely affect their results of operations, and thus, adversely affect the Group as a whole.

The cost, availability and quality of the PRC subsidiaries principal raw materials, such as meltblown, non-woven fabrics, steel spring, OPP membrane, and methyl silicone oil, are important to their operations. If the cost of raw materials increases due to policy changes, large market price fluctuation or any other reason, the business and results of operations of the PRC subsidiaries could be adversely affected, as well as the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

Lack of availability of raw materials, whether due to shortages in supply, delays or interruptions in processing, failure of timely delivery or otherwise, could interrupt the PRC subsidiaries’ operations and adversely affect their financial results, which could adversely affect the Group as a whole.

Defective raw materials could subject the PRC subsidiaries to product liability claims or legal actions, which could adversely affect their and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

A significant interruption in the operations of the PRC subsidiaries’ third-party suppliers and other business partners could potentially disrupt their operations.

The PRC subsidiaries have limited control over the operations of their third-party suppliers and other business partners and any significant interruption in their operations may have an adverse impact on the PRC subsidiaries’ operations. For example, a significant interruption in the operations of their supplier’s manufacturing facilities could cause delay or termination of shipment of the raw materials to them, which may cause delay or termination of shipment of ordered products to their customers, resulting in damage to their customer relationships. If the PRC subsidiaries are unable to adequately address the impact of the interruptions of operations of their third-party suppliers, their business operations and financial results may be materially and adversely affected, and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected accordingly.

Although the PRC subsidiaries believe that they could establish alternate sources from other suppliers for most of their raw materials, any delay in locating and establishing relationships with other sources could result in shortages or back orders for such raw materials. There can be no assurance that such replacement suppliers will provide the raw materials that are needed by the PRC subsidiaries in the quantities that they request or at the prices that they are willing to pay. Any shortage in quantities or increase in prices could adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

Moreover, in February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Since the PRC subsidiaries’ raw and auxiliary materials are purchased from certified and qualified suppliers in China, their supply has been very stable for many years and are easily sourced due to the PRC subsidiaries’ geographical location. The prices of raw materials used in the PRC subsidiaries’ operations are not volatile and they, along with the PRC subsidiaries’ supply chain, have not been impacted by the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows are not determinable as of the date of this prospectus.

The PRC subsidiaries do not have long term contracts with their suppliers and the suppliers can reduce order quantities or terminate sales to the PRC subsidiaries at any time.

The PRC subsidiaries do not have long term contracts with their suppliers. At any time, their suppliers can reduce the quantities of products that sell to the PRC subsidiaries, or cease selling products to the PRC subsidiaries altogether. Such reductions or terminations could have a material adverse impact on the PRC subsidiaries’ revenue, profits and financial condition, which may also adversely affect the Group as a whole.

Overall tightening of the labor market, increases in labor costs or any possible labor unrest may adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ business and results of operations, which may also adversely affect the Group as a whole.

The PRC subsidiaries’ business requires a substantial number of personnel. Any failure to retain stable and dedicated labor by them may lead to disruption to their business operations. Although they have not experienced any labor shortages as of the date of this prospectus, they have observed an overall tightening and increasingly competitive labor market. The PRC subsidiaries have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, increases in labor costs due to increases in salary, social benefits and employee headcount. The PRC subsidiaries compete with other companies in their industry and other labor-intensive industries for labor, and they may not be able to offer competitive remuneration and benefits compared to their competitors. If they are unable to manage and control their labor costs, their business, financial condition and results of operations, along with the Group’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

The PRC subsidiaries’ industry is intensely competitive. The PRC subsidiaries may face competition from, and they may be unable to compete successfully against, new entrants and established companies with greater resources.

The medical device industry is intensely competitive and includes thousands of companies, both domestically and internationally. As more medical device companies seek to outsource more of the design, prototyping and manufacturing of their products, the PRC subsidiaries will face increasing competitive pressures to grow their business in order to maintain their competitive position, and they may encounter competition from, and lose customers to, other companies with design, technological and manufacturing capabilities similar to theirs. Some of their potential competitors may have greater name recognition, greater operating revenue, larger customer bases, longer customer relationships and greater financial, technical, personnel and marketing resources than they have. If they are unsuccessful competing with their competitors for their existing and prospective customers’ business, their financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected, and the Group’s financial condition and results of operation may be accordingly adversely affected.

Furthermore, increased competition may reduce the PRC subsidiaries’ market share and profitability and require them to increase their sales and marketing efforts and capital commitment in the future, which could negatively affect their results of operations or force them to incur further losses, which could also adversely affect the Group as a whole. Although the PRC subsidiaries have continuously grown their customer base, there is no assurance that they 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 their and the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The continuing development of the PRC subsidiaries’ products depends upon the PRC subsidiaries’ maintaining strong working relationships with their customers, distributors and sales agents.

The research, development, marketing and sale of the PRC subsidiaries’ current products and potential new and improved products or future product indications for which we receive regulatory clearance or approval depend upon the PRC subsidiaries’ maintaining working relationships with their customers, distributors and sales agents. See “Business — Our Research and Development.” The PRC subsidiaries rely on those professionals to provide them with considerable knowledge and experience regarding the research, development, marketing and sale of their products. Distributors and sales agents assist them in marketing and sales, as well as collecting customers’ feedback and advice related to their products. Researchers at hospital and medical institution customers keep them informed of the latest requirements and R&D results. If the PRC subsidiaries cannot maintain a strong working relationships with these professionals and continue to receive their advice and input, the development, improvement and marketing of the PRC subsidiaries’ products could suffer, which could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Technological changes may adversely affect sales of the PRC subsidiaries’ products and may cause their products to become obsolete.

The medical device market is characterized by extensive research and development and rapid technological changes. Technological progress or new developments in the industry could adversely affect sales of the PRC subsidiaries’ products. Products could be rendered obsolete because of future innovations by competitors or others, which would have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the PRC subsidiaries and the Group.

Consolidation in the medical device industry could have an adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ revenue and results of operations.

Many medical device companies are consolidating to create new companies with greater market power. As the medical device industry consolidates, competition to provide goods and services to industry participants will become more intense. These industry participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price concessions or reductions for the PRC subsidiaries’ products. If the PRC subsidiaries reduce their prices because of consolidation in the healthcare industry, their revenue would decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on their and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the PRC subsidiaries fail to identify, acquire and develop other products, they may be unable to grow their business.

As a significant part of their growth strategy, the PRC subsidiaries intend to develop and commercialize additional products through their research and development program or by acquiring additional technologies and patents from third parties. The success of this strategy depends upon their ability to identify, select and acquire the technologies and patents on terms that are acceptable to them.

Table of Contents

Any patents and technology the PRC subsidiaries identify or acquire may require additional development efforts prior to commercial manufacturing and sale, including approval or clearance by the applicable regulatory authorities. All products are prone to the risks of failure inherent in medical device product development, including the possibility that the product will not be shown to be sufficiently safe and effective for approval or clearance by regulatory authorities. In addition, we cannot assure you that any such products that are approved or cleared will be manufactured or produced economically, successfully commercialized or widely accepted in the marketplace.

If the PRC subsidiaries are unable to develop suitable potential products through internal research programs or by obtaining patents or technologies from third parties, it could have a material adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the PRC subsidiaries are not able to implement their strategies to achieve their business objectives, their business operations and financial performance will be adversely affected.

The PRC subsidiaries’ business plan and growth strategy are based on currently prevailing circumstances and the assumption that certain circumstances will or will not occur, as well as the inherent risks and uncertainties involved in various stages of development. However, there is no assurance that the PRC subsidiaries will be successful in implementing their strategies or that their strategies, even if implemented, will lead to the successful achievement of their objectives. If they are not able to successfully implement their strategies, their business operations and financial performance will be adversely affected, which will adversely affect the Group as a whole.

If the PRC subsidiaries fail to adopt new technologies to evolving customer needs or emerging industry standards, their business may be materially and adversely affected.

To remain competitive, the PRC subsidiaries must continue to stay abreast of the constantly evolving industry trends and to enhance and improve their technology accordingly. Success will depend, in part, on the ability of the PRC subsidiaries to identify, develop or acquire leading technologies useful in their business. There can be no assurance that they will be able to use new technologies effectively or meet customer’s requirements. If they 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, their business may be materially and adversely affected, and may adversely affect the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

If the PRC subsidiaries sell medical devices to non-profit medical institutions through public bid invitation, their sales prices will be limited based on the results of the bidding.

In China, the procurement of medical devices by non-profit medical institutions is subject to specific procurement procedures. According to relevant laws and regulations, all non-profit medical institutions under all levels of government and state-owned enterprises from different industries shall participate in the centralized procurement of medical devices. The centralized procurement of medical devices must follow the basic principles of openness, fairness, impartiality and good faith, and the procurement method is mainly based on public bid invitation. Therefore, if the PRC subsidiaries sell medical devices to non-profit medical institutions through public bid invitation, their sales prices will be limited based on the results of the bidding, which may reduce their profitability, which result would adversely impact the profitability of the Group.

Changes to the PRC subsidiaries’ payment terms with both customers and suppliers may materially adversely affect their operating cash flows.

The PRC subsidiaries may experience significant pressure from their suppliers to reduce the number of days of their accounts payable. At the same time, the PRC subsidiaries may experience pressure from their customers to extend the number of days before paying their accounts receivable. Any failure to manage their accounts payable and accounts receivable may have a material adverse effect on their and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success depends on our management team and other key personnel, the loss of any of whom could disrupt our operations.

Our future success will depend in substantial part on the continued service of the members of our senior management, in particular, those identified under the section titled “Management.” The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel could impede implementation of our business plan and result in reduced profitability. We do not

Table of Contents

carry key person life insurance on any of our officers or employees. Our future success will also depend on the PRC subsidiaries’ continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical sales and marketing customer support. Because of the rapid growth of the economy in China, competition for qualified personnel is intense. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our key personnel or that we will be able to attract, assimilate or retain qualified personnel in the future. Any loss of key personnel or failure to attract, assimilate or retain qualified personnel could disrupt our operations.

The PRC subsidiaries may not be able to adequately protect and maintain their intellectual property.

Our success will depend on the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to continue to develop and market their products. The PRC subsidiaries have been granted 38 patents in mainland China relating to their products and have 17 pending patent applications. No assurance can be given that such patents will not be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, or that such intellectual property rights will provide a competitive advantage to the PRC subsidiaries. Also, litigation may be necessary to enforce their intellectual property rights or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. The outcome of such potential litigation may not be favorable and any success in litigation may not be able to adequately protect their rights. Such litigation may be costly and divert management attention away from the PRC subsidiaries’ business. An adverse determination in any such litigation would impair their intellectual property rights and may harm their business, prospects and reputation, as well as the business and prospects of the Group. Enforcement of judgments in China is uncertain and even if they are successful in such litigation, it may not provide them with an effective remedy.

The PRC subsidiaries’ introduction of new technologies and products may increase the likelihood that third parties will assert claims that the PRC subsidiaries’ products infringe upon their proprietary rights.

The rapid technological changes that characterize our industry require that the PRC subsidiaries quickly implement new processes and components with respect to their products. Often with respect to recently developed processes and components, a degree of uncertainty exists as to who may rightfully claim ownership rights in such processes and components. Uncertainty of this type increases the risk that claims alleging that such components or processes infringe upon third party rights may be brought against the PRC subsidiaries. Although Hangzhou Shanyou takes, and will continue to take, steps to ensure that its new products do not infringe upon third party rights, if its products or manufacturing processes are found to infringe upon third party rights, it may be subject to significant liabilities and be required to change its manufacturing processes or be prohibited from manufacturing certain products, which could have a material adverse effect on its and our operations and financial condition, as well as the Group as a whole.

The PRC subsidiaries may be required to defend against charges of infringement of patent or other proprietary rights of third parties. Although patent and other intellectual property disputes in our industry have often been settled through licensing or similar arrangements, such defense could require the PRC subsidiaries to incur substantial expense and to divert significant resources of their technical and management personnel, and could result in their loss of rights to develop or make certain products or require them to pay monetary damages or royalties to license proprietary rights from third parties. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that the necessary licenses would be available to the PRC subsidiaries on acceptable terms, if at all. Accordingly, an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent the PRC subsidiaries from manufacturing and selling certain of their products. Any such litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs to the PRC subsidiaries and diversions of their resources, either of which could adversely affect their business, and the financial condition and results of operations of the Group.

The PRC subsidiaries may not be able to prevent others from unauthorized use of their intellectual property, which could harm their business and competitive position and adversely affect the Group as a whole.

The PRC subsidiaries rely on a combination of trademark, fair trade practice, patent, copyright and trade secret protection laws in China, as well as confidentiality procedures, to protect their intellectual property rights. The PRC subsidiaries are carful to remain current in their annual patent fee payments. They regard their trademark, patents, know-how, proprietary technologies, and similar intellectual property as critical to our success. The PRC subsidiaries may become an attractive target to intellectual property attacks in the future with the increasing recognition of their brands. Any of their intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or misappropriated, or such intellectual property may not be sufficient to provide them with competitive advantages. In addition, there can be no assurance that (i) all of their intellectual property rights will be adequately protected, or (ii) their intellectual

Table of Contents

property rights will not be challenged by third parties or found by a judicial authority to be invalid or unenforceable. Intellectual property protection may not be sufficient in China. Accordingly, the PRC subsidiaries may not be able to effectively protect their intellectual property rights or to enforce their contractual rights in China. In addition, policing any unauthorized use of their intellectual property is difficult, time-consuming and costly and the steps they have taken may be inadequate to prevent the misappropriation of their intellectual property. In the event that the PRC subsidiaries resort to litigation to enforce their intellectual property rights, such litigation could result in substantial costs and a diversion of their managerial and financial resources. We can provide no assurance that the PRC subsidiaries will prevail in such litigation. In addition, their trade secrets may be leaked or otherwise become available to, or be independently discovered by, their competitors. Any failure in protecting or enforcing their intellectual property rights could have a material adverse effect on their and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Economic recessions could have a significant, adverse impact on the PRC subsidiaries’ business.

Our revenue is generated from sales of medical devices, both domestically and internationally, and we anticipate that revenue from such sales will continue to represent the substantial portion of our total revenue in the near future. The PRC subsidiaries’ sales and earnings can also be affected by changes in the general economy.

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

Changes in U.S. and international trade policies, particularly with regard to China, may adversely impact the PRC subsidiaries’ business and operating results, which may adversely affect the Group as a whole.

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 the PRC subsidiaries or the industry and customers. Although cross-border business currently contributes a small portion of the PRC subsidiaries’ business, as they continue to sell their products internationally in the future, any unfavorable government policies on international trade, such as capital controls or tariffs, may affect the demand for their products and services, impact the competitive position of their products or prevent them 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 the PRC subsidiaries and the Group’s, financial condition and results of operations.

The PRC subsidiaries do not have any product liability, business interruption, or property insurance and they may incur liabilities that are not covered by insurance, which could expose them to significant costs and business disruption.

While the PRC subsidiaries seek to maintain appropriate levels of insurance, not all claims are insurable and they may experience major incidents of a nature that are not covered by insurance. The PRC subsidiaries provide social security insurance, including pension, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, on-the-job injury insurance and housing fund plans through a PRC government-mandated benefit contribution plan for their employees. They do not carry any key-man life insurance, product liability and professional liability insurance. They have not purchased any property insurance or business interruption insurance. In addition, the insurance industry in China is still at an early stage of development, and insurance companies in China currently offer limited business-related insurance products. The PRC subsidiaries do not have any business liability or disruption insurance to cover their operations.

The PRC subsidiaries have determined that the costs of insuring for related risks and the difficulties associated with acquiring such insurance on commercially reasonable terms make it impractical. They consider their insurance coverage to be sufficient for their business operations in China. The PRC subsidiaries maintain an amount of insurance

Table of Contents

protection that they believe is adequate, but there can be no assurance that such insurance will continue to be available on acceptable terms or that such insurance coverage will be sufficient or effective under all circumstances and against all liabilities to which they may be subject.

The PRC subsidiaries could, for example, be subject to substantial claims for damages upon the occurrence of several events within one calendar year. In addition, their insurance costs may increase over time in response to any negative development in their claim history or due to material price increases in the insurance market in general. If the PRC subsidiaries were to incur substantial losses or liabilities due to fire, explosions, floods, other natural disasters or accidents or business interruption, their results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, which could materially and adversely affect the Group.

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

Our plans for business expansion and development are dependent upon our raising significant additional capital, including the capital sought in this offering. Our plans call for significant new investments in research and development, marketing, expanded productions capacity, and working capital for raw materials and other items. Management estimates that our capital needs for expansion will be approximately $30 million. Although we expect the proceeds of this offering and our net earnings to substantially fund our planned growth and development, our management will be required to properly and carefully administer and allocate these funds. Should our capital needs be higher than estimated, or should additional capital be required after the close of this offering, 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.

Pandemics and epidemics, natural disasters, terrorist activities, political unrest, and other outbreaks could disrupt the PRC subsidiaries’ delivery and operations, which could materially and adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Global pandemics, epidemics in China or elsewhere in the world, or fear of spread of contagious diseases, such as Ebola virus disease (EVD), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), 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 disrupt the PRC subsidiaries’ business operations, reduce or restrict their supply of products and services, incur significant costs to protect their employees and facilities, or result in regional or global economic distress, which may materially and adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and 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 the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any one or more of these events may impede the PRC subsidiaries’ production and delivery efforts and adversely affect their sales results, or even for a prolonged period of time, which could materially and adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The current COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected many businesses in China. As China implemented nationwide efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, logistics and delivery of products to the PRC subsidiaries’ clients were affected greatly. Although recently, China has substantially lifted COVID-19 restrictions, the resurgence of the virus within China remains strong. We expect that our PRC subsidiaries’ operations will continue to be adversely impacted by COVID-19 and its repercussions, which may result in governmental regulations on capacity limitations of certain enclosed venues, quarantines or social distancing policies, as well as temporary lockdowns in certain areas. In addition, reduced international travel due to any further travel restrictions, lockdowns and quarantines might temporarily slow us in our efforts toward global expansion. Any economic downturn contributed by COVID-19 may reduce consumers’ spending, and thereby affect the performance of our PRC subsidiaries business, financial conditions and results of operations.

The PRC subsidiaries are also vulnerable to natural disasters and other calamities. We cannot assure you that the PRC subsidiaries 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 the PRC subsidiaries’ 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 the PRC subsidiaries and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The PRC subsidiaries’ international sales are subject to a variety of risks that could adversely affect their profitability and operating results, which may adversely affect the profitability and operating results of the Group.

The PRC subsidiaries sell disposable medical devices internationally. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, their international sales accounted for 7% and 7%, respectively, of our revenue. Although they take measures to minimize risks inherent to their international sales, the following risks may have a negative effect on their profitability and operating results, impair the performance of their foreign sales or otherwise disrupt their business, which may adversely affect the profitability and operating results of the Group:

• Fluctuations in the value of currencies could cause exchange rates to change and impact their profitability;

• Greater difficulty in collecting accounts receivable and longer payment cycles, which can be more common in their international sales, could adversely impact their operating results over a particular fiscal period;

• According to PRC regulations, enterprises that export medical devices are required to ensure that the exported medical devices meet the legal requirements of the importing country. The PRC subsidiaries strive to meet the legal requirements of medical devices of foreign jurisdictions, including with respect to product quality, however, changes in foreign regulations, export duties, taxation and limitations on imports or exports could increase their operational costs, impose fines or restrictions on their ability to carry on their business or expand their international sales.

• Loss of goods caused by long-distance sea transportation, extreme weather, third-party logistics companies, which could increase their operational costs; and

• No product liability insurance has been bought for their products, and thus, they may incur considerable damages if their costumers sue them for product defects and obtain favorable judgments.

The PRC subsidiaries are subject to a variety of environmental laws that could be costly for them to comply with, and they could incur liability if they fail to comply with such laws or if they are responsible for releases of contaminants to the environment, which could adversely affect the Group as a whole.

Our operating subsidiaries are all located in the PRC. Chinese laws impose various environmental controls on the management, handling, generation, manufacturing, transportation, storage, use and disposal of wastewater, solid waste, and other materials used or generated in the manufacturing of Hangzhou Shanyou’s products. If the PRC subsidiaries fail to comply with any present or future environmental laws, they could be subject to fines, corrective actions, other liabilities or the suspension of production, which could adversely affect the Group.

The PRC subsidiaries endeavor to adhere to environmental protection and governance requirements and have formulated a systematic environmental protection management system in the treatment of wastewater and solid waste in accordance with national requirements. However, changes in environmental laws may result in costly compliance requirements or otherwise subject them to future liabilities.

In particular, with the further expansion of Hangzhou Shanyou’s production capacity, its pollutant emissions will increase, resulting in the increase of the environmental protection spending and the difficulty of environmental protection management, which could have an adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

With respect to one construction project, Hangzhou Shanyou failed to file the required Environmental Impact Registration Form for the records. According to PRC laws and regulations, Hangzhou Shanyou is required to file the Environmental Impact Registration Form of construction project for the records. Its failure to meet such requirement may result in a penalty of up to RMB50,000 imposed by local authorities, which it does not expect will have a material impact on its and our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Moreover, Hangzhou Shanyou failed to obtain the relevant authorities’ approval of an Environmental Impact Statement before construction of facilities for its production lines, and failed to inspect the production lines to determine if they complied with relevant regulations of environmental protection and did not make the Inspection and Acceptance Reports of Environmental Protection upon completion of such construction. According to PRC laws and regulations, before construction, Hangzhou Shanyou was required to obtain the approval of the relevant authorities after reviewing its Environmental Impact Statement. Upon the completion of construction, it is required to inspect the production lines to determine if they comply with relevant

Table of Contents

regulations of environmental protection and make Inspection and Acceptance Reports of Environmental Protection. Hangzhou Shanyou’s failure to inspect the production lines to determine if they comply with relevant regulations of environmental protection and make Inspection and Acceptance Reports of Environmental Protection may result in an order to complete relevant procedures, and a penalty of between RMB200,000 and RMB1 million, which may be imposed by local authorities. If Hangzhou Shanyou fails to complete relevant procedures within the stipulated period, the local authorities may impose a penalty of between RMB1 million and RMB2 million. Furthermore, if material environmental pollution or ecological damage is caused by such failure, Hangzhou Shanyou may be ordered to stop production or stop using the affected production lines by the PRC regulatory authorities. Moreover, its non-compliance in failing to inspect its production lines and making Inspection and Acceptance Reports of Environmental Protection may be recorded in Credibility Archive, a list that record companies’ non-compliance with environmental matters that can be accessed by the public, according to Interim Measures for Environmental Protection Acceptance of Completion of Construction Projects. Being recorded in Credibility Archive results in disclosure of such non-compliance to the public, which may adversely affect the reputation of Hangzhou Shanyou, and adversely affect the Group as a whole. As of the date of the prospectus, Hangzhou Shanyou believes it has obtained the approval for its Environmental Impact Statement by the relevant authorities, and it intends to complete the procedures for the inspection of its production lines and will endeavor to make any required Inspection and Acceptance Report of Environmental Protection in the future; however, there is no assurance that it will adequately or timely do so, the failure of which could adversely affect the reputation of Hangzhou Shanyou, which could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Group.

The PRC subsidiaries are subject to a variety of fire protection laws that could be costly for them to comply with, and they could incur liability if they fail to comply with such laws, which could adversely affect the Group as a whole.

Companies operating in China are required to comply with a variety of fire protection laws, such as having an examination of fire protection design, inspection and acceptance of fire protection, record-filing and random inspection of construction projects. According to relevant laws and regulations with respect to construction projects, construction projects are subject to inspection and acceptance for fire protection. For certain construction projects, such as Hangzhou Shanyou’s production lines, a project facility owner shall provide fire protection design drawings to the relevant authorities before commencing construction and prepare the Inspection and Acceptance Reports of Fire Protection for the records of the competent authorities, and such authorities shall conduct a random inspection thereof. In case of failure to provide fire protection design drawings that meet the requirements of construction, the relevant authorities shall not issue a construction license. If a project facility owner places into service a construction project which was required to undergo a fire protection inspection and acceptance and the preparation of an Inspection and Acceptance Report of Fire Protection, but has not undergone such inspection and acceptance and failed to prepare an Inspection and Acceptance Report of Fire Protection, or has failed the inspection and acceptance, or failed to suspend the use of such construction project for which such project facility owner prepared the Inspection and Acceptance Report of Fire Protection for the records of the competent authorities but is later found to be unqualified in a random inspection, such project facility owner will be ordered to stop using the affected construction project, stop production or business operations and a fine of between RMB30,000 and RMB300,000 may be imposed by competent departments. If a project facility owner has undergone a fire protection inspection and acceptance and has already prepared an Inspection and Acceptance Report of Fire Protection but only fails to submit the report to the competent authorities for the records, such project facility owner will be subject to a fine of RMB5,000. Please see “Regulation — Fire Prevention Management” on page 104.

As of the date of this prospectus, Hangzhou Shanyou, the PRC subsidiary that manages all production lines, has not provided fire protection design drawings before construction nor has it prepared the Inspection and Acceptance Reports of Fire Protection for the records of the competent authorities, which may result in it being ordered to stop the use of its production lines and being subject to a fine of between RMB30,000 and RMB300,000. If it makes up the inspection and acceptance and prepares Inspection and Acceptance Reports of Fire Protection but does not submit them to the competent authorities for the records, it will be subject to a fine of RMB5,000. Since all of its products are manufactured by operation of such production lines, any such development could materially and adversely affect the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The PRC subsidiaries are subject to a variety of construction laws, and they could incur liability if they fail to comply with such laws, which could adversely affect their operations.

According to relevant laws and regulations, any company engaged in the construction and decoration of various types of buildings and their attached facilities, including the installation of their supporting lines, pipelines and equipment, prior to the commencement of construction, should apply to the competent department of the local government for a construction

Table of Contents

license. Those who have not obtained the construction license shall be ordered by the license-issuing authority that has jurisdiction to stop the construction, to correct such lapse within a time limit, and pay a fine of between 1% to 2% of the contract price of the construction project. Furthermore, the project facility owner shall, within 15 days from the date of the completion and acceptance inspection of the construction project, submit the inspection and acceptance report to the competent administrative department of construction or other relevant departments for the record. If it fails to do so, it shall be ordered to make corrections and pay a fine of between RMB 200,000 to RMB 500,000. Where the project facility is placed into service without being subject to completion inspection and acceptance, the project facility owner shall be ordered to make corrections and pay a fine of between 2% to 4% of the contract price of the project. If any loss is caused as a consequence of the failure to obtain the construction license, it shall also be liable for compensation.

As of the date of this prospectus, as to the production lines of Hangzhou Shanyou, which were placed into service without having been subject to completion inspection and acceptance, it did not obtain a construction license prior to the commencement of construction nor undergone the completion inspection and acceptance nor did it prepare the Inspection and Acceptance Reports of Construction for the records of the competent authorities, therefore, Hangzhou Shanyou could be fined (i) an amount equal to 1% to 2% of the contract price of the production lines construction (approximately $16,500 to $33,000), for its failure to obtain a construction license prior to the commencement of construction, (ii) plus a fine of between RMB200,000 to RMB500,000 (approximately $28,000 to $70,000) for its failure to prepare the Inspection and Acceptance Reports of Construction for the records of the competent authorities and make adequate rectification, and (iii) a fine of between 2% to 4% of the contract price of the production lines construction (approximately $33,000 to $66,100), for its failure to complete inspection and acceptance before placing the production lines into service. As a result, the aggregate amount of potential fine could be between $77,500 to $169,100. While we anticipate that the possibility of being fined is relatively low, since Hangzhou Shanyou has not been subject to such fine historically, and the estimated maximum fine amount is relatively immaterial, being less than 1% of our consolidated revenue in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, we cannot assure you that the production lines will not be ordered to be suspended and rectified, which could affect Hangzhou Shanyou’s production, and therefore could materially and adversely affect both its and our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, we cannot assure that the safety of the production lines have been adequately addressed, since they have not been subject to completion inspection and acceptance. If any personal injury or property loss is caused by the production lines, Hangzhou Shanyou would be liable for compensation, which could materially and adversely affect both its and our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

The PRC subsidiaries rights to use one of their own properties could be challenged by not obtaining the property ownership certificate as required by law, which may disrupt their operations.

As of the date of this prospectus, the PRC subsidiaries have failed to obtain the property ownership certificate for one of their own properties and such property may, therefore, be determined by governmental authorities to have been illegally constructed. According to PRC laws and regulations, illegal buildings will be ordered to be demolished within a particular time-frame by the competent governmental department. If their property is determined to have been illegally constructed and is ordered to be demolished, they will no longer be able to use this property. The affected property is currently used as a warehouse, and, therefore, they believe that even if it cannot continue to be used, it will not have a material impact on their operations. Although the PRC subsidiaries have not received any order or notice from the competent departments, we cannot assure you that this property will not be determined to have been illegally constructed and ordered to be demolished. If such property is ordered to be demolished, they may need to find a new warehouse and bear additional costs.

The PRC subsidiaries’ rights to use their leased warehouse and parking area could be challenged by governmental authorities, due to the lessor’s failure to obtain the property ownership certificate as required by law and their rights to use their leased land could be challenged by governmental authorities, due to the lessor’s failure to comply with legal procedures related to land lease, which may disrupt their operations.

As of the date of this prospectus, the lessor of one of the PRC subsidiaries’ leased warehouses and parking area has failed to obtain the property ownership certificate and has a risk of being identified as illegal construction. According to PRC laws and regulations, illegal buildings will be ordered to be demolished within a time limit by the competent department. If this warehouse is determined to have been illegally constructed and is ordered to be demolished, the PRC subsidiaries may be at risk of not being able to continue to use this warehouse and parking area. Moreover, the lessor of their leased land has failed to provide them with valid property ownership certificates and the consent of a certain percentage of members of the collective economic organization or villagers, in accordance with the law to lease

the relevant land, therefore, questions remain as to whether the lessor has the legal right to lease this land. According to PRC laws and regulations, the landowner of collectively managed construction land, which is registered according to the law, may hand it over to an entity for use as a lease, but the lease of the collectively managed construction land shall be approved by more than two-thirds of the members of the collective economic organization or more than two-thirds of villagers. If someone violates the foregoing provisions, the competent departments shall order rectification within a prescribed time limit, confiscate the illegal proceeds, and impose a fine. If the lessor fails to comply with legal procedures related to land lease, the lessor may be required to rectify and the PRC subsidiaries may be at risk of not being able to continue to use this land.

The PRC subsidiaries believe that even if it is determined that they cannot continue to use the foregoing site, it is not likely to have a material impact on their operations. Although they have not received any notices from the lessors, we cannot assure you that the warehouse and parking area mentioned above will not be determined to have been illegally constructed and be ordered to be demolished and the lessor of such land will not expected to be required to rectify the violation, if their expectation is wrong, they may need to find a new warehouse or parking area and bear additional costs.

If the PRC subsidiaries fail to timely renew their medical device licenses or registration certificates, it could adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and our reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

As a medical device manufacturer with all of our operating subsidiaries located in the PRC, all of the PRC subsidiaries’ manufacturing and sales activities must comply with relevant laws and regulations of China and other countries. Pursuant to the Administrative Measures for the Registration and Record-filing of Medical Devices promulgated on August 26, 2021 and effective on October 1, 2021, as amended from time to time, Class I medical devices are subject to recordation administration with Class II and Class III medical devices subject to registration administration. The U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act stipulates that manufacturer from foreign country which intend to sell its products in U.S. should register with FDA and its medical devices list with FDA. The PRC subsidiaries are in the business of manufacturing and sales of Class I and II medical devices and sales of III medical devices. If they fail to timely record or register their medical devices, both their and our financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected.

The PRC subsidiaries have entered into a number of related party transactions in the ordinary course of their business, and may continue to enter into related party transactions in the future.

In the ordinary course of the PRC subsidiaries’ business, they have entered into transactions with related parties. For the fiscal years of 2022 and 2021, the total revenues of the Group were $19,711,290 and $45,863,363, respectively, while the revenues generated by sales to related parties were $7,713 and $1,270,093, respectively, which accounted for 0.04% and 2% of the total revenues, respectively. For the fiscal years of 2022 and 2021, the total borrowed money of the Group were $9,493,121 and $11,525,695, respectively, while the money borrowed from related parties were $nil and $nil, respectively, which accounted for 0% and 0%, respectively.

Based on the foregoing analysis, we conclude that the PRC subsidiaries have not relied on a large number of related party transactions to conduct their ordinary business transactions. Nevertheless, the statistics in the past may not reflect the future. We cannot guarantee that the PRC subsidiaries will not continue to enter into related party transactions in the future. In addition, there can be no assurance that they have achieved and will achieve the most favorable terms with related parties for each related party transaction. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the above-mentioned transactions or any future related party transactions that they may enter into, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on their business, and their and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations. Further, the transactions with the related parties may potentially involve conflicts of interests. Additionally, there can be no assurance that any disputes that may arise among the PRC subsidiaries and related parties will be resolved in the PRC subsidiaries’ favor. For details, see “Related Party Transactions.”

If our PRC subsidiaries cannot collect timely payments from their customers, their business and operations, and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Our PRC subsidiaries could not collect timely payments from some of their customers due to such customers’ lack of working capital, and, as a result, the Group made a significantly greater amount of bad debt provision in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, based on credit-worthiness and financial condition of the distributor customers. Despite the recovering economy since late 2022 and management’s increased efforts in payment collections, we cannot assure

Table of Contents

you that our PRC subsidiaries will be able to collect timely payments as expected. Our PRC subsidiaries’ failure to collect timely payments in future financial periods could have a material and adverse effect on their business, and their and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Ordinary Shares

An active trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not develop and the trading price for our Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly.

We have applied to list our Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. Prior to the completion of this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares, and we cannot assure you that a liquid public market for our Ordinary Shares will develop. If an active public market for our Ordinary Shares does not develop following the completion of this offering, the market price and liquidity of our Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected. The initial public offering price for our Ordinary Shares was determined by negotiation between us and the underwriter based upon several factors, and we can provide no assurance that the trading price of our Ordinary Shares after this offering will not decline below the initial public offering price. As a result, investors in our securities may experience a significant decrease in the value of their Ordinary Shares.

Nasdaq may apply additional and more stringent criteria for our initial and continued listing because we plan to have a small public offering and insiders will hold a large portion of our listed securities.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 provides Nasdaq with broad discretionary authority over the initial and continued listing of securities in Nasdaq and Nasdaq may use such discretion to deny initial listing, apply additional or more stringent criteria for the initial or continued listing of particular securities, or suspend or delist particular securities based on any event, condition, or circumstance that exists or occurs that makes initial or continued listing of the securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted in the opinion of Nasdaq, even though the securities meet all enumerated criteria for initial or continued listing on Nasdaq. In addition, Nasdaq has used its discretion to deny initial or continued listing or to apply additional and more stringent criteria in the instances, including but not limited to: (i) where the company engaged an auditor that has not been subject to an inspection by PCAOB, an auditor that PCAOB cannot inspect, or an auditor that has not demonstrated sufficient resources, geographic reach, or experience to adequately perform the company’s audit; (ii) where the company planned a small public offering, which would result in insiders holding a large portion of the company’s listed securities. Nasdaq was concerned that the offering size was insufficient to establish the company’s initial valuation, and there would not be sufficient liquidity to support a public market for the company; and (iii) where the company did not demonstrate sufficient nexus to the U.S. capital market, including having no U.S. shareholders, operations, or members of the board of directors or management. Our initial public offering will be relatively small and the insiders of our Company will hold a large portion of the Company’s listed securities following the consummation of the offering. Nasdaq might apply the additional and more stringent criteria for our initial and continued listing, which might cause delay or even denial of our listing application.

The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

The trading price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of the broad market and industry factors, like the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations located mainly in China that have listed their securities in the United States. A number of Chinese companies have listed or are in the process of listing their securities on U.S. stock markets. The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant volatility, including price declines in connection with their initial public offerings. The trading performance of these Chinese companies’ securities after their offerings may affect the attitudes of investors toward Chinese companies listed in the United States in general and consequently may impact the trading performance of our Ordinary Shares, regardless of our actual operating performance.

In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume for our Ordinary Shares may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:

• regulatory developments affecting us or our industry;

• actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly results of operations and changes or revisions of our expected results;

Table of Contents

• changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

• conditions in the market for health and wellness products;

• announcements by us or our competitors of new product and service offerings, acquisitions, strategic relationships, joint ventures, capital raisings or capital commitments;

• additions to or departures of our senior management;

• fluctuations of exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar;

• release or expiry of lock-up or other transfer restrictions on our outstanding shares;

• negative publicity regarding Chinese listed companies; and

• sales or perceived potential sales of additional Ordinary Shares.

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our Ordinary Shares 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.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Ordinary Shares, the market price for our Ordinary Shares and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Ordinary Shares will be influenced by research or reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade our Ordinary Shares, the market price for our Ordinary Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for our Ordinary Shares to decline.

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

Sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market after the completion of this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. The Ordinary Shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, and shares held by our existing shareholders may also be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and the applicable lock-up agreements. Following the consummation of our initial public offering, there will be 15,500,000 Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after this offering or 15,950,000 Ordinary Shares, assuming the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. In connection with this offering, we and each of our directors and officers named in the section “Management,” and certain shareholders have agreed not to sell any Ordinary Shares for six months from the date of this prospectus without the prior written consent of the underwriter, subject to certain exceptions. However, the underwriter may release these securities from these restrictions at any time, subject to applicable regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders or any other shareholder or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of our Ordinary Shares. See “Underwriting” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed description of the restrictions on selling our securities after this offering.

Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering, you must rely on price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares for return on your investment.

We currently intend to retain all of our available funds and any future earnings after this offering 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 Ordinary Shares as a source for any future dividend income.

Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares. There is no guarantee that our Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value after this offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased our Ordinary Shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares and you may even lose your entire investment.

Because the initial public offering price is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

If you purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering, you will pay more for each share than the corresponding amount paid by existing shareholders for their Ordinary Shares. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $3.15 per share, representing the difference between our net tangible book value per share of $1.35 as of September 30, 2022, after giving effect to this offering and an assumed initial public offering price of $4.50 per share. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our Ordinary Shares will be diluted upon the completion of this offering.

You must rely on the judgment of our management as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and such use may not produce income or increase our share price.

We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering primarily for expanding the PRC subsidiaries’ business and production capacity, increasing investment of product development and marketing, and working capital and other general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.” However, our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds received by us. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not improve our efforts to achieve or maintain profitability or increase our share price. The net proceeds from this offering may be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.

If we are classified as a passive foreign investment company, United States taxpayers who own our Ordinary Shares may have adverse United States federal income tax consequences.

A non-U.S. corporation such as ourselves will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which is known as a PFIC, for any taxable year if, for such year, either

• At least 75% of our gross income for the year is passive income; or

• The average percentage of our assets (determined at the end of each quarter) during the taxable year which produces passive income or which are held for the production of passive income is at least 50%.

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents, royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. taxpayer who holds our Ordinary Shares, the U.S. taxpayer may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements.

Depending on the amount of cash we raise in this offering, together with any other assets held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, for our current taxable year or for any subsequent year, more than 50% of our assets may be assets which produce passive income. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. Although the law in this regard is unclear, we treat our consolidated affiliated entities as being

Table of Contents

owned by us for United States federal income tax purposes, because we consolidate their operating results in our consolidated financial statements. For purposes of the PFIC analysis, in general, a non-U.S. corporation is deemed to own its pro rata share of the gross income and assets of any entity in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the equity by value.

For a more detailed discussion of the application of the PFIC rules to us and the consequences to U.S. taxpayers if we were determined to be a PFIC, see “Taxation — United States Federal Income Taxation — Passive Foreign Investment Company.”

The amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that we intend to adopt contain anti-takeover provisions that could have a material adverse effect on the rights of holders of our Ordinary Shares.

Some provisions of our articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue shares at such times and on such terms and conditions as the board of directors may decide without any further vote or action by our shareholders. Under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our articles of association for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company and for a proper purpose.

Our Chief Operating Officer and Liwei Zhang have substantial influence over our company. Their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders, and they could prevent or cause a change of control or other transactions.

As of the date of this prospectus, Baiming Yu, our Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), beneficially owns an aggregate of 50% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. Upon the completion of this offering, Mr. Yu will beneficially own 6,250,000 Ordinary Shares, or approximately 50% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. Liwei Zhang, the spouse of Baiming Yu, beneficially owns an aggregate of 5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. Upon the completion of this offering, Ms. Zhang will beneficially own approximately 625,000 Ordinary Shares, or approximately 5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. Baiming Yu and Liwei Zhang beneficially own an aggregate of 55% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares, and will beneficially own approximately 6,875,000 Ordinary Shares, or approximately 55% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares upon the completion of this offering. Moreover, Baiming Yu owns 3.35% of shares and Liwei Zhang owns 1.65% of shares of Hangzhou Shanyou. Because share percentage is aligned with voting power, Baiming Yu and Liwei Zhang do not have substantial influence over Hangzhou Shanyou. Therefore, Baiming Yu and Liwei Zhang do not have substantial influence over Hangzhou Hanshi as well.

Accordingly, as to Work Cayman, Mr. Yu and Ms. Zhang could have significant influence in determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the shareholders for approval, including mergers, consolidations, the appointment of directors and other significant corporate actions. They will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Without the consent of Mr. Yu and Ms. Zhang, we may be prevented from entering into transactions that could be beneficial to us or our minority shareholders. In addition, they could violate their fiduciary duties by diverting business opportunities from us to themselves or others. The interests of Mr. Yu and Zhang may differ from the interests of our other shareholders. The concentration in the ownership of our Ordinary Shares may cause a material decline in the value of our Ordinary Shares. For more information regarding Mr. Yu, Ms. Zhang and their affiliated entity, see “Principal Shareholders.”

You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under Cayman Islands law.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England. Decisions of the Privy Council (which is the final Court of Appeal for British overseas territories such as the Cayman Islands) are binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. Decisions of the English courts, and particularly the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal are generally of persuasive authority but are not binding in the courts of the Cayman Islands. Decisions of courts in other Commonwealth jurisdictions are similarly of persuasive but not

Table of Contents

binding authority. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have the standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records or to obtain copies of the register of members of these companies. Our directors have discretion under our articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a result of all of the above, public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Description of Share Capital — Comparison of Cayman Islands Corporate Law and U.S. Corporate Law.”

You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.

Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. These rights, however, may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our articles of association allow our shareholders holding shares representing in aggregate not less than 10% of our voting share capital in issue, to requisition a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. Advance notice of at least 5 clear days is required for the convening of a general meeting. A quorum required for a general meeting is one or more shareholders holding Ordinary Shares that represent not less than one-third of the outstanding Ordinary Shares carrying the right to vote at such general meeting. For these purposes, “clear days” means that period excluding (a) the day when the notice is given or deemed to be given and (b) the day for which it is given or on which it is to take effect.

Certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.

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

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act and may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, most significantly, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 for so long as we are an emerging growth company.

The JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company does not need to comply with any new or revised financial accounting standards until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain

Table of Contents

accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period. As a result of this election, our future financial statements may not be comparable to other public companies that comply with the public company effective dates for these new or revised accounting standards.

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

Because we are a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain provisions of the securities rules and regulations in the United States that are applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including:

• the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC;

• the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents, or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

• the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and

• the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material non-public information under Regulation FD.

We will be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. In addition, we intend to publish our results on a semi-annual basis through press releases, distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market. Press releases relating to financial results and material events will also be furnished to the SEC on Form 6-K. However, the information we are required to file with or furnish to the SEC will be less extensive and less timely compared to that required to be filed with the SEC by U.S. domestic issuers. As a result, you may not be afforded the same protections or information, which would be made available to you, were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

Because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer.

Nasdaq listing rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of its board members be independent. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we may follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements, or we may choose to comply with the above requirement within one year of listing. The corporate governance practice in our home country, the Cayman Islands, does not require a majority of our board to consist of independent directors. Thus, although a director must act in the best interests of the Company, it is possible that fewer board members will be exercising independent judgment and the level of board oversight on the management of our company may decrease as a result. In addition, Nasdaq listing rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have a compensation committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, and an audit committee with a minimum of three members. We, as a foreign private issuer, are not subject to these requirements. Nasdaq listing rules may require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters, such as requiring that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, certain ordinary share issuances. We intend to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq listing rules in determining whether shareholder approval is required on such matters and to appoint a nominating and corporate governance committee. We may, however, consider following home country practice in lieu of the requirements under the Nasdaq listing rules with respect to certain corporate governance standards which may afford less protection to investors.

We will incur significantly increased costs and devote substantial management time as a result of the listing of our Ordinary Shares.

We will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses as a public reporting company, particularly after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company. For example, we will be required to comply with the additional requirements of the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq rules, including applicable corporate governance practices. We expect that compliance with these requirements will increase our legal and financial compliance costs

Table of Contents

and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, we expect that our management and other personnel will need to divert attention from operational and other business matters to devote substantial time to these public company requirements. We cannot predict or estimate the number of additional costs we may incur as a result of becoming a public company or the timing of such costs.

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some activities more time-consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidelines are provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may also initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected.

If a limited number of participants in this offering purchase a significant percentage of the offering, the effective public float may be smaller than anticipated and the price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile which could subject us to securities litigation and make it more difficult for you to sell your shares.

As a company conducting a relatively small public offering, we are subject to the risk that a small number of investors will purchase a high percentage of the offering. While the underwriter is required to sell shares in this offering to at least 300 round lot shareholders (a round lot shareholder is a shareholder who purchases at least 100 shares) in order to ensure that we meet the Nasdaq initial listing standards, we have not otherwise imposed any obligations on the underwriter as to the maximum number of shares they may place with individual investors. If, in the course of marketing the offering, the underwriter was to determine that demand for our shares was concentrated in a limited number of investors and such investors determined to hold their shares after the offering rather than trade them in the market, other shareholders could find the trading and price of our shares affected (positively or negatively) by the limited availability of our shares. If this were to happen, investors could find our shares to be more volatile than they might otherwise anticipate. Companies that experience such volatility in their share price may be more likely to be the subject of securities litigation. In addition, if a large portion of our public float were to be held by a few investors, smaller investors may find it more difficult to sell their shares.

We may experience extreme stock price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares.

In addition to the risks addressed directly above, there have been recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with a number of recent initial public offerings, especially among companies with relatively smaller public floats. As a relatively small-capitalization company with relatively small public float, we may experience greater share price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our Ordinary Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any share run-up, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, investors of our Ordinary Shares may experience losses, which may be material, if the price of our Ordinary Shares declines after this offering or if such investors purchase Ordinary Shares prior to any price decline.

Table of Contents

This prospectus contains certain data and information that we obtained from various Chinese government and private publications, including industry data and information from publicly available information, market research reports, and industry publications and surveys. Although we believe such information to be accurate, we have not independently verified the data from these sources. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions.

In addition, the new and rapidly changing nature of the medical device industry results in significant uncertainties for any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our industry. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $10,738,734, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, and based upon an assumed initial offering price of $4.50 per Ordinary Share (excluding any exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option). A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $2,760,000, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us and assuming no change to the number of Ordinary Shares offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

We plan to use the net proceeds from this offering as follows: 20% for upgrading production equipment and increasing production capacity, 30% for developing masks, other medical consumables and medical devices, 10% for patent purchases, 10% for product marketing, and 30% for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. Our management, however, will have significant flexibility and discretion to apply the net proceeds of this offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this prospectus.

In utilizing the proceeds from this offering, we are permitted under PRC laws and regulations to provide funding to PRC subsidiaries only through loans or capital contributions, and only if we satisfy the applicable government registration and approval requirements. While we currently see no material obstacles to completing the filing and registration procedures with respect to future capital contributions and loans to PRC subsidiaries, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete these filings and registrations on a timely basis, or at all. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet these requirements on a timely basis, if at all. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — PRC regulation of loans to and direct investment in PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control of currency conversion may delay us from using the proceeds of this offering to make loans or additional capital contributions to the PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand the PRC subsidiaries’ business.” on page 27.

Pending use of the net proceeds, we intend to hold our net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, financial instruments or demand deposits.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Our board of directors has discretion regarding whether to declare or pay dividends. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our Board of Directors. All dividends are subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that our company may only pay dividends out of profits or share premium, and provided always that we are able to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our shares. We currently do not have any plans to pay cash dividends. Rather, we currently intend to retain all of our available funds and any future earnings to operate and grow our business.

If we determine to pay dividends on any of our Ordinary Shares in the future, as a holding company, we will depend upon receipt of funds from our British Virgin Islands subsidiary, Work BVI.

Current PRC regulations permit the PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to Work Medical Technology only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our subsidiaries in mainland China is required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital. Each of such entities in mainland China is also required to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund. Although the statutory reserves can be used, among other ways, to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies, the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation.

The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of mainland China. Therefore, we may experience difficulties in complying with the administrative requirements necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any. Furthermore, if our subsidiaries and affiliates in mainland China incur debt on their own in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments. If we or our subsidiaries are unable to receive all of the revenue from our operations, we may be unable to pay dividends on our Ordinary Shares.

Cash dividends, if any, on our Ordinary Shares will be paid in U.S. dollars. Work Medical Technology or any of our subsidiaries outside of China may be considered a non-resident enterprise for tax purposes, so that any dividends the PRC subsidiaries pay to Work Medical Technology or any of our subsidiaries outside of China may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%. See “Taxation — People’s Republic of China Taxation.”

In order for us to pay dividends to our shareholders, we will rely on payments made from Work Hangzhou’s subsidiaries to Work Hangzhou and from Work Hangzhou to WFOE, and the distribution of such payments to Work Medical Technology, and from Work Medical Technology to Work BVI and then to our Company. According to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law (the “EIT Law”), income obtained by enterprises shall pay enterprise income tax including income from equity investment such as dividends and bonuses. In addition, if Work Hangzhou or its subsidiaries or branches incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.

The as adjusted information is illustrative only, and we will adjust this information based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. Additional paid-in capital reflects the net proceeds we expect to receive, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We estimate that such net proceeds will be approximately $10,738,734, based on the assumed offering price of $4.50 per Ordinary Share.

DILUTION

If you invest in our Ordinary Shares, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per Ordinary Share and our net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after the offering. Dilution results from the fact that the per Ordinary Share offering price is substantially in excess of the book value per Ordinary Share attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding Ordinary Shares.

Our net tangible book value attributable to shareholders on September 30, 2022 was $10,240,645, or approximately $0.82 per Ordinary Share. Net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of September 30, 2022 represents the amount of total assets less intangible assets and total liabilities, divided by the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Dilution is determined by subtracting the net tangible book value per Ordinary Share (as adjusted for the offering) from the initial public offering price per Ordinary Share and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us.

After giving effect to our sale of 3,000,000 Ordinary Shares offered in this offering based on the assumed initial public offering price of $4.50 per Ordinary Share, which is the midpoint of the estimated range of the initial public offering price shown on the front cover of this prospectus, after deduction of the estimated underwriting discounts and the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022, would have been $20,979,379, or $1.35 per outstanding Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.82 per Ordinary Share to the existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $3.15 per Ordinary Share to investors purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering. The as adjusted information discussed above is illustrative only.

A $1.00 change in the assumed public offering price of $4.50 per Ordinary Share would, in the case of an increase, increase and, in the case of a decrease, decrease our as adjusted net tangible book value after giving effect to the offering by $2.76 million, the as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after giving effect to this offering by $0.18 and the dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share to new investors in this offering by $0.82 assuming no change to the number of Ordinary Shares offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.

The following table illustrates such dilution:

	Per Ordinary Share
Assumed initial public offering price per Ordinary Share	$	4.50
Net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of September 30, 2022	$	0.82
Increase in net tangible book value per Ordinary Share attributable to payments by new investors	$	0.53
As adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share immediately after the offering	$	1.35
Amount of dilution in net tangible book value per Ordinary Share to new investors	$	3.15

The as adjusted information as discussed above is illustrative only. Our net tangible book value following the completion of this offering is subject to adjustment based on the actual initial public offering price of our Ordinary Shares and other terms of this offering determined at the pricing.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We were incorporated in the Cayman Islands in order to enjoy the following benefits:

• political and economic stability;

• an effective judicial system;

• a favorable tax system;

• the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and

• the availability of professional and support services.

However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include, but are not limited to, the following:

• the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors; and

• Cayman Islands companies may not have the standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

Our constitutional documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated. Currently, all of the operations are conducted outside the United States, and substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. Most of our officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

We have appointed Cogency Global Inc., as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States.

Ogier (Cayman) LLP, our counsel as to Cayman Islands law, and Jingtian & Gongcheng, our counsel as to PRC law, have advised us, respectively, that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands and China, respectively, would:

• recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or

• in original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature.

We have been advised by our Cayman Islands legal counsel, Ogier (Cayman) LLP, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on

Table of Contents

the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

We have been advised by our PRC counsel, Jingtian & Gongcheng, that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedure Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law based either on treaties between mainland China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between different jurisdictions, and PRC courts will not recognize or enforce these foreign judgments if PRC courts believe the foreign judgments violate the basic principles of PRC laws or national sovereignty, security or public interest after review. However, currently, mainland China does not have treaties or reciprocity arrangement providing for recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments ruled by courts in the United States or the Cayman Islands. Thus, it is uncertain whether a PRC court would enforce a judgment ruled by a court in the United States or the Cayman Islands.

In addition, our investors may incur additional costs and face procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or our management, as judgments entered in the United States can be enforced in Hong Kong only at common law. To enforce a judgment of the United States in Hong Kong, it must be a final judgment rendered conclusive upon the merits of the claim, for a liquidated amount in a civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges, the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice, and the enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Hong Kong. Such a judgment must be for a fixed sum and must also come from a “competent” court, as determined by the private international law rules applied by the Hong Kong courts.

Neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries are operating in an industry that prohibits or limits foreign investment. As a result, neither we nor the PRC subsidiaries are required to obtain any permission from Chinese authorities to operate other than those requisite that a domestic company in China will need to engage in the businesses similar to the that of the PRC subsidiaries. Such licenses and permissions include Business License, Medical Device Registration Certificate, Medical Device Production Certificate, Medical Device Selling Certificate, Record Form of Medical Device Products, Certificate of Class I medical device production recordation, Certificate of Class II medical device selling recordation, Record Registration Form for Foreign Trade Business Operators, and Certificate of the Customs of the People’s Republic of China on Registration of a Customs Declaration Entity. The PRC subsidiaries have obtained the above

licenses and permissions to conduct their business in China. However, the PRC government may take actions to exert more oversight and control over offerings by China based issuers conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in such companies, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless.

We treated Work Hangzhou and its subsidiaries as our consolidated affiliated entities under U.S. GAAP for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. We have consolidated the financial results of Work Hangzhou and its subsidiaries in our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the same periods.

Work Hangzhou and its subsidiaries contributed to 100% of our consolidated revenue and accounted for 100% of our consolidated total assets and liabilities for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and there was no reconciliation performed between the financial position, cash flows and results of operations of Work Hangzhou and us.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in this prospectus. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” All amounts in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. These Annual Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Business Overview

We are a holding company with operating subsidiaries (collectively referred as the “Group”), and with all of our operations and assets in China. Our vision is to provide professional and reliable medical devices, both domestically and internationally. The PRC subsidiaries mainly manufacture and sell Class I and II medical devices, including endotracheal tubes, laryngeal mask airways, heat and moisture exchanging filters (HMEF), disposable breathing circuits, nebulizer kits, and yankauer suction sets. Besides Class I and II medical devices, the PRC subsidiaries also have retained the certificate of selling Class III disposable medical devices.

Revenue decreased by $26,152,073, or approximately 57.0%, to $19,711,290 for the year ended September 30, 2022 from $45,863,363 for the year ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the decline in demand and unit price of masks and medical devices other than masks, and was offset by the increase of commodity trading.

Net income decreased by $5,321,477, or approximately 84.9%, to $944,126 for the year ended September 30, 2022 from $6,265,603 for the year ended September 30, 2021.

Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

We believe the following key factors may affect our financial condition and results of operations:

• the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to effectively and efficiently conduct sales and marketing;

• the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to acquire sufficient raw materials and key components and obtain equipment and services from their suppliers in suitable quantity and quality;

• the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to effectively manage inventories; and

• the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to enhance our operational efficiency.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in quarantines, travel restrictions, and temporary closure of stores and facilities in China and elsewhere.

As China implemented nationwide efforts to contain the spread of the pandemic, logistics and delivery of products to the PRC subsidiaries’ clients were affected greatly. Even though the PRC subsidiaries’ production capacity and operational efficiency were not affected by the pandemic, their suppliers’ abilities to timely deliver raw materials, parts and components, or other services were affected due to the temporary travel restrictions in China, which adversely affected the logistics of such suppliers. The continued pandemic also affected the market demand. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, our revenue decreased due to the decline in market demand and unit price of masks and other medical devices.

Table of Contents

Although recently, China has substantially lifted COVID-19 restrictions, the resurgence of the virus within China remains strong. With the recovering economy and management’s increased efforts in payment collections at the end of 2022, a portion of accounts receivable have been collected in cash. As of April 30, 2023, approximately $1,914,900 of accounts receivable have been subsequently collected in cash. We expect that our PRC subsidiaries’ operations will continue to be adversely impacted by COVID-19 and its repercussions, which may result in governmental regulations on capacity limitations of certain enclosed venues, quarantines or social distancing policies, as well as temporary lockdowns in certain areas. In addition, reduced international travel due to any further travel restrictions, lockdowns and quarantines might temporarily slow us in our effort towards global expansion. Any economic downturn contributed by COVID-19 may reduce consumers’ spending, and thereby affect the performance of our PRC subsidiaries business, financial conditions and results of operations.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth a summary of our consolidated statements of income for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. This information should be read together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Sales decreased by $26,152,073, or 57.0%, to $19,711,290 for the year ended September 30, 2022 from $45,863,363 for the year ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in sales was primarily attributable to the decline in demand and unit price of masks and medical devices other than masks, and was offset by the new business of commodity trading.

Sales of masks decreased by $22,660,361, or 68.1%, to $10,619,035 for the year ended September 30, 2022 from $33,279,396 for the year ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was mainly because (a) at the initial stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2020, the demand for masks increased significantly; then, as the market supply

Table of Contents

gradually increased, the demand for masks decreased, accordingly; and (b) the unit price of masks for the year ended September 30, 2022 was lower than that for the year ended September 30, 2021, which was attributable to the insufficient supply of masks in the market at the beginning of outbreak of pandemic.

Medical devices other than masks were mainly anesthesia and respiratory consumables. The sales of medical devices decreased by $3,836,081, or 30.5%, to $8,747,886 for the year ended September 30, 2022 from $12,583,967 for the year ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was mainly due to the marketing and business activities of the PRC subsidiaries, which were restrained under quarantines and travel restrictions.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue primarily included cost of materials, direct labor, overhead, other related incidental expenses that are directly attributable to the principal operations, and inventory write-down. Cost of revenue decreased by $21,931,695, or approximately 58.9%, to $15,292,498 for the year ended September 30, 2022 from $37,224,193 for the year ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was mainly attributable to (a) the decreased sales for the year ended September 30, 2022; and (b) the insufficient supply of raw materials for mask production in the market at the beginning of the pandemic, resulting in a high unit price of raw materials.

Gross profit

Gross profit decreased by $4,220,378, or approximately 48.9%, to $4,418,792 for the year ended September 30, 2022 from $8,639,170 for the year ended September 30, 2021. Gross profit margin increased to 22.4% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 18.8% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021. The increase of gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the increase of commodity trading with relative high profit margin for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.

Selling expenses

The selling expenses primarily consisted of salaries and welfare expenses and freight expenses. The selling and marketing expenses decreased by $560,778, or approximately 35.2%, to $1,032,685 for the year ended September 30, 2022 from $1,593,463 for the year ended September 30, 2021, which was primarily due to the market shrinkage of masks, thus, the Group reduced its sales staff and freight expenses accordingly.

General and administrative expenses

The general and administrative expenses primarily consisted of salaries and welfare expenses, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, and professional fees. The general and administrative expenses decreased by $327,984, or approximately 11.3%, to $2,563,879 for the year ended September 30, 2022 from $2,891,863 for the year ended September 30, 2021, which was primarily due to the decrease of salaries and welfare expenses and offset by bad debt provision. Our PRC subsidiaries could not collect timely payments from some of their customers due to the lack of working capital, as a result, the Group made a significantly greater amount of bad debt provision than the year ended September 30, 2021, based on credit-worthiness and financial condition of the distributor customers. We believe the trend of liquidity risk of our customers will not continue. With the recovering economy since late 2022 and management’s increased efforts in payment collections, a portion of accounts receivable have been collected in cash. The remaining amounts outstanding at September 30, 2022, and not subsequently collected in cash as of May 31, 2023, was approximately $2,698,579, from which amount $1,336,809 has been recorded as bad debt and the net accounts receivable was $1,361,770.

Research and development expenses

The research and development expenses were incurred for the development of medical devices and technologies. The research and development expenses decreased by $2,546, or approximately 1.4%, to $183,900 for the year ended September 30, 2022 from $186,446 for the year ended September 30, 2021.

Other income

The total net other income was $475,233 and $3,376,916 for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Table of Contents

The net other income for the year ended September 30, 2022 primarily consisted of received government subsidies of $1,186,641, which were partially offset by interest expense of $350,999 and loss on disposal of equipment of $360,409 due to equipment upgrading.

The net other income for the year ended September 30, 2021 primarily consisted of received government subsidies of $3,752,002, which were partially offset by interest expense of $329,517. The government subsidies of $3,606,697 were from the Hangzhou government, rewarding Hangzhou Shanyou for its contribution to the rapid production of medical face masks to satisfy the sudden demand for such masks during the initial stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to material terms of government notification, the government subsidies would be received in cash and without further performance obligations, and we are not expecting to receive government subsidies of such amount continuously.

Income tax expense

Our PRC subsidiaries incurred income tax expenses related to taxable income of $169,435 and $1,078,711 for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily due to the decrease of profit before income tax.

Net income

As a result of the foregoing, the net income was $944,126 and $6,265,603 for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, the primary sources of liquidity consist of cash flows from the PRC subsidiaries’ operating activities, capital contributions from shareholders and loans from banks. The Group has financed its operations primarily through capital contributions and revenue from operations. As of September 30, 2022, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $773,422 and total working capital of $2,353,961. For the next 12 months from the issuance date of this prospectus, we plan to implement measures to meet the cash requirements, including: 1) strictly controlling and reducing expenses; 2) seeking additional credit facilities; and 3) seeking equity financing from shareholders. We believe the above measures will be adequate to meet the operation requirements in the next 12 months from the audited financial statements issuance date.

As of September 30, 2022, the gross balance of accounts receivable was $4,632,297, from which amount $1,344,480 was recorded as allowance for doubtful accounts. With the recovering economy since late 2022 and management’s increased efforts in payment collections, a portion of accounts receivable have been collected in cash. The remaining amount outstanding at September 30, 2022 and not subsequently collected in cash as of May 31, 2023 was approximately $2,698,579, from which amount $1,336,809 has been recorded as bad debt and the net accounts receivable was $1,361,770.

If we experience an adverse operating environment or incur unanticipated capital expenditure requirements, or if we accelerate our growth, then additional financing may be required. No assurance can be given, however, that additional financing, if required, would be available on favorable terms or at all. Such financing may include the use of additional debt or the sale of additional equity securities. Any financing which involves the sale of equity securities or instruments that are convertible into equity securities could result in immediate and possibly significant dilutions to the existing shareholders.

All of our operations are conducted in China and a majority portion of our revenue, expense, and cash are denominated in Renminbi (RMB). Current foreign exchange and other regulations in the PRC may restrict the PRC entities in their ability to transfer their net assets to us and our subsidiaries. However, we have no present plans to declare any dividends and we plan to retain our retained earnings to continue to grow our business. In addition, these restrictions have no impact on our ability to meet our cash obligations, as all of our current cash obligations are due within the PRC as of the date of this prospectus.

We have limited financial obligations denominated in U.S. dollars, thus, the foreign currency restrictions and regulations in the PRC on dividend distribution will not have a material impact on the liquidity, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,258,948 for the year ended September 30, 2022, primarily derived from (a) a decrease in accounts payable of $5,822,547, due to an increase of settlements for the year ended September 30, 2022; (b) an increase in accounts receivable of $4,234,997, due to the liquidation difficulties of our customers under the impact of pandemic; and (c) a decrease in deferred revenue of $751,375, due to a decrease in market demand for masks; which was offset by (a) a net income of $944,126, adjusted by depreciation and amortization of $3,258,267; (b) an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $917,303, which was mainly due to a decrease in loans to third-parties; and (c) a decrease in inventories of $2,053,675, which was primarily due to the decrease in sales for the year ended September 30, 2022.

Net cash used in operating activities was $7,178,445 for the year ended September 30, 2021, primarily derived from (a) a decrease in deferred revenue of $33,092,341, due to an increase of market supply of masks; and (b) a decrease in accounts payable of $2,943,733, due to an increase of settlements for the year ended September 30, 2021; which was offset by (a) a net income of $6,265,603, adjusted by depreciation and amortization of $4,193,197; (b) a decrease in advances to suppliers of $8,637,306, which was mainly due to the sufficient supply of raw materials in the market, and fewer deposits, that were paid to ensure the supply of raw materials; (c) a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,998,479, which was primarily due to decrease in interest-free loans to third parties and prepaid taxes; and (d) a decrease in inventories of $6,885,730, which was primarily due to the decrease in sales for the year ended September 30, 2021.

Investing Activities

For the year ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $1,347,165, which primarily consisted of purchases of fixed assets of $2,012,546, offset by (a) disposal of equipment of $601,760 due to equipment upgrading; and (b) cash acquired from Shanghai Saitumofei of $63,621.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures are primarily incurred for the purpose of purchasing face mask production equipment. Our capital expenditures were $2,012,546 and $60,001 for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We intend to fund our future capital expenditures with our existing cash balance and proceeds from this offering, and expect to continue to make well-planned capital expenditures to meet the expected growth of our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Holding Company Structure

Our company, WORK Medical Technology Group LTD, is a holding company with no material operations of its own. We conduct our operations through the PRC subsidiaries in China. As a result, our ability to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by the PRC subsidiaries. If our existing PRC subsidiaries or any newly formed ones incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. In addition, our subsidiaries in mainland China are permitted to pay dividends to us only out of its retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. Under PRC law, each of our subsidiaries in mainland China are required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds until such reserve funds reach 50% of their registered capital. In addition, our subsidiaries in mainland China may allocate a portion of their after-tax profits based on PRC accounting standards to enterprise expansion funds and staff bonus and welfare funds at their discretion. The statutory reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Remittance of dividends by a wholly foreign-owned company out of mainland China is subject to examination by the banks designated by SAFE. The PRC subsidiaries distributed dividends in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, and have made no further plans to pay dividends since such date and do not expect to do so unless and until they have generated sufficient accumulated profits and have met the requirements for statutory reserve funds.

Contractual Obligations

Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the PRC subsidiaries may be subject to certain legal proceedings, claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted, we do not believe these actions, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on the PRC subsidiaries’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Operating Lease

The Group did not have any operating lease contractual obligations, significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations, or guarantees as of September 30, 2022.

Seasonality

The nature of our business does not appear to be affected by seasonal variations.

Critical Accounting Policies and, Judgments and Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate these judgments and estimates based on our own experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions, and our expectations regarding

Table of Contents

the future based on available information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.

When reading our consolidated financial statements, you should consider our selection of critical accounting policies, the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions. Our critical accounting policies and practices include the following: (i) allowance for receivable; (ii) useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; and (iii) inventories write-downs and the recoverability of long-lived assets. See “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements for the disclosure of these accounting policies. We believe the following accounting estimates involve the most significant judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years when those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities. The amounts of allowance over deferred tax assets were $12,584 and nil as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

The Group is also exposed to liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Group is unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Group will turn to other financial institutions and the shareholders to obtain short-term funding to address the liquidity shortage.

Inflation risk

To date, inflation in China has not materially impacted the Group’s results of operations. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the year-over-year percentage changes in the consumer price index for 2020, 2021 and 2022 were increases of 2.5%, 0.9% and 2.0%, respectively. Although the Group has not been materially affected by inflation in the past, we can provide no assurance that the Group will not be affected in the future by higher rates of inflation in the PRC. For example, certain operating costs and expenses, such as employee compensation and office operating expenses, may increase as a result of higher inflation. Additionally, because a substantial portion of our assets consists of cash and cash equivalents, high inflation could significantly reduce the value and purchasing power of these assets. The Group is not able to hedge its exposure to higher inflation in China.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk primarily relates to the interest rate that its deposited cash can earn. Interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk. The Group has not been exposed to material risks due to changes in interest rates. An increase, however, may raise the cost of any debt the Group may incur in the future.

Foreign currency translation and transaction

A substantial majority of our operating activities are denominated in RMB and all of our assets and liabilities are denominated in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies. All foreign exchange transactions take place either through the PBOC or other authorized financial institutions at exchange rates quoted by PBOC. Approval of foreign currency payments by the PBOC or other regulatory institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers’ invoices and signed contracts. The value of RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and to international economic and political development affecting supply and demand in the China Foreign Exchange Trading System market.

Definition and Classification of Medical Devices

According to the definition in the revised version of the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices issued by the State Council on May 4, 2017, medical devices refer to instruments, equipment, in vitro diagnostic reagents, calibrators, computer software, materials, and anything similar or related. Their functions are mainly based on physics, instead of pharmacology, immunology or metabolism.

The Medical Equipment Research Institute divides the medical device market into four segments: high-value consumables, low-value consumables, medical equipment, and in vitro diagnosis (“IVD”).

High-value medical consumables

High-value medical consumables generally refer to the consuming medical devices that are crucial to human’s safety, and their production and use must be strictly controlled, whose uses are limited to certain hospital departments with relatively high prices. High-value medical consumables include cardiac intervention, peripheral vascular intervention, artificial joints, organ intervention replacement and other medical materials.

Low-value medical consumables

Low-value medical consumables refer to disposable hygienic materials often used in hospitals, including disposable syringes, infusion devices, blood transfusion devices, drainage bags, drainage tubes, indwelling needles, sterile gloves, surgical suture, surgical stitches, and surgical blades.

Medical Equipment

Medical equipment refers to instruments and equipment used solely or collectively to the human body. Medical equipment is the most basic element of medical treatment, scientific research, teaching, and clinical practice.

IVD

IVD, in a broad sense, refers to the products and services that obtain clinical information by testing human samples (body fluids, cells, tissue samples, etc.), which are used to diagnose diseases or demonstrate body functions. In a narrow sense, IVD mainly refers to IVD related products, including IVD reagents and IVD equipment.

According to the Classification Catalogue of Medical Devices issued by the China Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”), now known as National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”), medical devices can be divided into class I, II and III according to their risk degrees, and the risk degrees of class I to III devices increases successively.

Classification	Degree of Risk	Registration/ Recordation	Supervising Department	Approval Cycle
Class I	low	recordation	Drug Supervision and Administration Departments of cities with subordinate districts	3 – 6 Months
Class II	medium	registration	Drug Supervision and Administration Departments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities	1 – 2 years (excluding clinical test) 3 – 4 Years (including clinical test)
Class III	high	registration	National Medical Products Administration	1 – 3 years (excluding clinical test) 3 – 10 Years (including clinical test)

China’s Medical Device Market Size

Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following strengths contribute to our success and are the differentiating factors that set us apart from our peers:

• A Deep Understanding of the Industry. Our COO, Baiming Yu, worked in a hospital as a doctor for nearly a decade, and he has been in the medical device industry for over two decades after he ended his medical practice in hospital. The three-decade experience furnish him with wide connections with people working in this industry, especially in Zhejiang Province, and a deep understanding of their specific needs for medical devices when providing medical services. Our subsidiary, which was founded by Mr. Yu in 2002, Hangzhou Shanyou has been manufacturing medical devices for over 20 years. Given the long-time

Table of Contents

operating history and interaction with the PRC subsidiaries’ clients, including hospitals, pharmacies and other medical institutions, the PRC subsidiaries have a deep understanding of the medical device industry, which enables them to develop and manufacture suitable and accommodative products tailored to the market. Meanwhile, the PRC subsidiaries’ R&D department has recruited a number of experienced medical professionals with extensive research experience, knowledge of the latest market and clinical needs of medical devices and the ability to develop suitable products to serve the demands efficiently. For more information about the R&D professionals, please refer to “— Research and Development (R&D).”

• Cost-effective Masks. Hangzhou Shanyou has recently upgraded its production equipment and it is able to manufacture more cost-effective products as a result. After transforming the production lines into fully automated ones, and automatic headband mask machines are put into use, the mask production of each production line has increased from 5,000 per day to 20,000 per day, with consistent product quality, and has decreased the production cost. Due to the boost of production efficiency, Hangzhou Shanyou expanded its production scale and increased the profit margin.

• Customized and Multifunctional Masks. Masks have been a necessity since the outbreak of COVID-19, and the market expects more from them than their basic function. Hence, customized and multifunctional masks have become increasingly popular over the past couple of years. In Contrast with the competitors that primarily produce masks with the basic function of reducing virus spreading, since the second half of 2021, Hangzhou Shanyou has upgraded its equipment, developing new production lines to produce customized masks with new features, which also can be used in various scenarios. Examples are tight fit masks and foldable masks. For those who work in industries which have stricter hygienic requirements, the PRC subsidiaries provide tight fit masks that reduce the gap between users’ faces and the masks, designed to decrease the possibilities of virus spreading. The PRC subsidiaries also provide foldable masks which reduce condensation on users’ glasses.

• Wide Distribution Network. The PRC subsidiaries maintain a wide distribution network which allows them to sell their products both domestically and internationally. For the fiscal year ended September 90, 2022, they have approximately 867 domestic distributors and 37 exporting distributors. With the help of the domestic distributors, the PRC subsidiaries are able to sell their products in 34 provincial level administrative regions of China. The exporting distributors span across six continents through which the PRC subsidiaries can sell their products in over 30 countries, including Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, U.K. and U.S. For more information about the distribution network, please refer to “— Distribution Network.”

In addition to the above products, the PRC subsidiaries are also dedicated to developing new products and technologies, to better accommodate the clinical needs and thus improve medical efficiency. The following product is the example of the latest development.

Visualized Prostatic Dilatation Catheter

Visualized prostatic dilatation catheter is a treatment for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. It dilates the hyperplastic prostatic tissue physically while observing the dilatation effect through endoscope. This technology is painless, operation-free, and minimally invasive, without any sequela, which can reduce the operation risk and improves the operation efficiency. The technology has following comparative advantages:

• It replaces the traditional spherical balloon with a columnar balloon which permits the prostate to be compressed more evenly. In addition, the product only dilates the hyperplastic prostate tissue, causing less damage to the urethral mucosa, thus the urethral mucosa will be repaired quickly after operation. In combination, the foregoing features may enhance therapeutic effects with limited complications;

• The product maintains the position firmly after the dilatation; therefore, it can ensure the dilating effect and stop bleeding by compression. In this way, it releases the external sphincter, and prevents urinary incontinence and massive hemorrhage as well; and

• The operation process only takes about 15 minutes. During the operation, the water balloon is compressed reducing the likelihood of hemorrhages.

The PRC subsidiaries expect to secure the production license of this product by the fourth quarter of 2023 and, if timely approved, the PRC subsidiaries will begin to sell it in the first half of 2024.

As of September 30, 2022, the PRC subsidiaries had a total of 1,058 customers, of which 157 were direct end-user customers, 867 were domestic distributor customers, and 37 were export distributor customers.

Distributors usually purchase products from the PRC subsidiaries at a lower price and then resell the products to end customers, both domestically and internationally, at a comparatively higher price and earn the price difference. The PRC subsidiaries source their distributors through multiple channels: (i) industry exhibitions/expos, (ii) online

Table of Contents

platform, and (iii) distributors’ direct contact. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the PRC subsidiaries had a total of 867 and 800 domestic distributor customers, and 37 and 46 are export distributor customers, respectively.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the PRC subsidiaries’ top three customers accounted for 6%, 4%, and 4%, respectively, of the revenue. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, the top three customers accounted for 49%, 15%, and 2%, respectively, of the revenue.

The PRC subsidiaries source their customers through multiple channels: (i) referrals from their present customers, (ii) industry exhibitions/expos such as China International Medical Equipment Fair, and (iii) provincial medical conferences.

Through the PRC subsidiaries’ distribution network, their products are sold to customers at all levels in China, and other countries and regions in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania. The PRC subsidiaries target overseas customers mainly via exporting distributors and exhibitions. In order to market their products, gain more market share and secure more quality customers, the PRC subsidiaries frequently participate in, and promote their products at, specific medical device exhibitions/expos.

The PRC subsidiaries do not have long-term written sales agreements with their direct-end user customers. Each direct-end user customer sale is typically governed by a brief purchase-order based sales agreement. The key terms of the sales agreements with direct-end user customers (including those agreements with their top customers) include:

• the product’s name, type, quantity, and price;

• quality standard — medical device qualifications, including business license, medical device production and operation licenses, medical device registration certificates, inspection report, etc.;

• delivery time, method and payment terms;

• breach of contract terms, including remedies, such as refunds and return of products (e.g., direct-end user customers are entitled to refunds and may return the product if the wrong product is delivered or the product does not meet agreed upon quality standards);

• shipping costs, which are typically borne by the seller; and

• dispute solutions, including bringing a lawsuit at the local court where the direct-end user customers are located, if negotiations are unsuccessful.

The PRC subsidiaries have no offices or subsidiaries in foreign countries and currently have no intention to establish any offices in foreign countries in the future. In the course of dealing with overseas customers, the PRC subsidiaries have maintained stable business relationships, however, such business relationships are not memorialized in any long-term agreements, but are rather provided for in short-form order sheets. In respect of their international sales, the risk of loss is borne by the customers upon delivery of the products.

In addition, in the course of dealing with the local distributors overseas, such distributers undertake all obligations with respect to the local rules and regulations and taxes regarding the importation of medical products.

The PRC subsidiaries face an inherent risk of liability claims or complaints from customers. When the products are found to be defective, they are required to recall the products according to usage of trade. When customers file product liability claims against the PRC subsidiaries, conflict of laws and product liability laws of the countries or regions where they are located are applicable. Jurisdiction is determined by the sales agreements, and laws of the countries or regions where the customers are located will determine the issue if the sales agreements are absent of jurisdiction selection clauses.

As of the date of this prospectus, the PRC subsidiaries are not aware of any warnings, investigations, prosecutions, disputes, claims or other proceedings in respect of medical devices they manufacture or distribute overseas, nor have they been penalized or can foresee any penalties to be made by any overseas jurisdiction with respect to medical device safety.

Please Refer to “— Marketing and Sales — Distribution Network” for more details about the business and sales agreements with the PRC subsidiaries’ distributor customers.

Table of Contents

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the revenue generated from the domestic distributor customers, domestic direct end-user customers, and overseas distributor customers amounted to $17,150,575, $1,140,952, $1,419,763, and $41,537,497, $1,370,793, $2,955,073, respectively, constituting 87%, 6%, 7% and 91%, 3%, 6%, respectively, of our total revenue.

Suppliers

The PRC subsidiaries source their suppliers through multiple channels: (i) industry exhibitions/expos, (ii) online platform, and (iii) suppliers’ direct contact.

The PRC subsidiaries’ suppliers are those providing raw materials for the manufacturing of the products.

The raw and auxiliary materials include meltblown, non-woven fabrics, steel spring, OPP membrane, methyl silicone oil, etc. All of which are purchased from certified and qualified suppliers in China. The PRC subsidiaries’ raw materials supply has been very stable for many years and are easily sourced due to the PRC subsidiaries’ geographical location. The prices of raw materials are not volatile and they, along with the PRC subsidiaries’ supply chain, have not been impacted by the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as of the date of this prospectus. At the beginning of 2020, the price of mask raw materials surged and the logistics were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, since Jiangsu province and Zhejiang province, where the PRC subsidiaries are located and conduct their business, are the core supply areas of mask raw materials and the pandemic was effectively controlled in these areas, so the PRC subsidiaries had sufficient raw materials and the prices were not materially impacted.

As of the date of this prospectus, the PRC subsidiaries have a total number of 135 suppliers. Although the PRC subsidiaries can utilize any supplier they determine, they believe that they have established healthy and stable relationships with their significant suppliers through years of cooperation. These significant suppliers, in the aggregate, accounted for over 27% of their raw material purchases for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. For the year ended September 30, 2022, the top three significant suppliers represented approximately 16%, 11%, and 7% of the total purchase, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 2021, the top three significant suppliers represented approximately 18%, 16%, and 5% of the total purchase, respectively. There are no minimum purchase requirements with any of the suppliers, including these significant ones. Each supplier order is typically governed by a brief purchase-order based purchase agreement. The key terms of the supplier purchase agreements (including those agreements with our significant suppliers) include:

• the product’s name, type, quantity, and price;

• quality terms which are typically expressed with reference to national or industry standards;

• delivery time, method and payment terms. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the supplier; and

• breach of contract terms, including refund and return of products, compensatory damages. If the supplier cannot deliver the product within the time agreed, or if the products do not meet the stated quality standard, the supplier must compensate the PRC subsidiaries for losses caused, including treble damages if the products are defective or counterfeit. In the event the PRC subsidiaries cannot timely pay, liquidated damages are due to the supplier.

Marketing and Sales

The PRC subsidiaries market and sell their products through multiple channels: (i) through their sales team, and (ii) through their distribution network, including their domestic and export distributors.

Sales Team

As of the date of this prospectus, the PRC subsidiaries have a sales team of 40 employees. Their sales team provides them with direct access to their customers and is capable of promptly addressing customers’ needs. There are four team leaders leading their respective teams to market the PRC subsidiaries’ products, both domestically and internationally.

The PRC subsidiaries’ sales team promotes the products in the following ways: (i) advertising on search engine websites such as Baidu and 360; (ii) participating in online bidding on the provincial drug procurement platforms; (iii) attending exhibitions and expos; (iv) attending medical conferences and introducing the products; (v) developing

Table of Contents

business relation with local distributors and promoting the products; (vi) conducting online searches to obtain public information of potential customers from enterprise yellow pages or enterprise official websites, establishing contact with them by ascertaining their product demand and purchasing intention via telephone calling or social media applications, such as WeChat and QQ.

The compensation package for the sales team includes vacation, social insurance, fixed base salaries and commissions based on the revenue or collection they achieve. The PRC subsidiaries provide their sales team with regular training and internally developed systems to assist them in quickly becoming proficient and productive sales personnel. The employment agreements with the sales team members include, contract period (fixed time or indefinite duration), job description, occupational hazard protection, termination provisions (termination at will is prohibited), and compliance with the Labor Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Labor Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China in all material aspects.

Distribution Network

The PRC subsidiaries’ domestic distributors cover 34 provincial-level administrative regions of PRC for the resale of the products in the Chinese market. Domestic distributors market and distribute the products in the regions where they are located and secured approximately 440 and 440 domestic customers for the PRC subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, including hospitals and medical institutions.

The PRC subsidiaries’ exporting distributors can be classified into two categories: those located outside of China that only distribute the products internationally, and those located in China that distribute the products, both domestically and internationally. The total number of direct and indirect customer relationships established overseas through the exporting distributors was approximately 100 as of September 30, 2022.

The PRC subsidiaries do not have long-term written agreements with their distributors. Each distributor order is typically governed by a brief purchase-order based sales agreement. The key terms of the distributor purchase agreements include:

• the product’s name, type, quantity, and price;

• qualifications, including business license, medical device production and operation licenses, medical device registration certificates, and inspection report. (The absence of any of these qualifications will result in termination of the agreements);

• delivery method and payment terms: shipping costs are typically borne by the PRC subsidiaries and payment shall be made before delivery;

• risk of loss, which is typically borne by the PRC subsidiaries until delivery;

• breach of contract terms, including refunds and return of products (e.g., distributors are entitled to refunds and may return a product if the wrong product is delivered, or the product does not meet agreed upon quality standards); and

• dispute solutions, including bringing a lawsuit at the local court where the distributors are located.

Research and Development (R&D)

The PRC subsidiaries invest in R&D, aiming to develop new products and improve their existing products to accommodate the market needs. The R&D expenses totaled approximately $183,900 and $186,446 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. R&D expenses mainly consist of applicable personnel, design, sample manufacturing and materials expenses. As of the date of this prospectus, the PRC subsidiaries have a total of 4 employees in the R&D department.

The PRC subsidiaries expect that the R&D expenses will increase significantly in the future, as they continue to develop new products, enhance their existing products and technologies, and perform activities related to obtaining additional regulatory approval.

Table of Contents

The PRC subsidiaries adhere to a market-oriented R&D approach and actively cooperate with universities, hospitals, medical institutions, and distributors in sorting out their R&D orientation based on the real market demand. The market-oriented R&D approach includes the following:

• Independent R&D. The PRC subsidiaries place great emphasis on independent R&D. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the PRC subsidiaries invested $183,900 and $186,446 in purchasing tooling, equipment, raw materials, and paying researchers’ salaries, accounting for 0.93% and 0.41% of our total revenue, respectively. The PRC subsidiaries have expanded their R&D department since 2022 and searched for new research fields, and hence, they expect to increase their ratio of R&D investment to revenue to 6% to 10% in the following three years. Visualized prostatic dilatation catheter is the latest products of the research team.

• Universities and Hospitals to Factories. A lot of universities and hospitals have research centers where they develop and patent certain R&D results. The PRC subsidiaries from time to time communicate with research personnel from research centers and keep themselves informed of the latest R&D and patents, and if needed by their customers, purchase patents from the research centers and research, develop and manufacture products with such patents. For instance, Hangzhou Shanyou entered into a patent transfer agreement with The Second Hospital of Jiaxing City on April 1, 2021, in which the hospital agreed to transfer to Hangzhou Shanyou a patent of a cuff device for endotracheal intubation, which can automatically inflate and deflate and monitor the pressure of columnar balloon, for a consideration of RMB60,000. In addition, Hangzhou Hanshi entered into a patent transfer agreement with The Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine on December 1, 2019, in which the hospital agreed to transfer to Hangzhou Hanshi a patent of a new type expanded visualized prostatic dilatation catheter, for a consideration of RMB283,500.

• Customers’ Feedback from Sales Representatives and Distributors. Sales representatives and distributors receive feedback and proposals from end-users from time to time. The PRC subsidiaries review the feedback and proposals on a regular basis. Prior to developing a product improvement or new product, the PRC subsidiaries assess end-users’ feedback from their sales representatives and distributors in order to better identify the changing needs and demands of end-users.

As of the date of the prospectus, the PRC subsidiaries have 38 registered patents in mainland China. Faced with the ever-changing market demands, they continue to invest in acquiring new patents and technologies that are tailored to the market’s fast-changing requirements.

Competition

The medical device industry is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. The PRC subsidiaries compete or plan to compete with manufacturers of disposable medical devices. Some of these competitors are large, well-capitalized companies with greater market share, resources and experience than the PRC subsidiaries have. As a consequence, they are able to spend more on product development, marketing, sales and other product initiatives than the PRC subsidiaries can. The PRC subsidiaries also compete with smaller medical device companies that have only one product or a limited range of products. The PRC subsidiaries’ current competitors include Henan Tuoren Medical Device Co., Ltd., Guangzhou Weili Medical Device Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Sujia Medical Device Co., Ltd. The PRC subsidiaries compete based on factors such as price, value, customer support, brand recognition, reputation, and product functionality, reliability, and compatibility.

Although there can be no assurance that the PRC subsidiaries will be able to continue to compete successfully in the future, we believe that the PRC subsidiaries can compete successfully with these companies by offering products of better quality at comparable prices.

Quality Control

Medical device are medical products directly applied to the human body, which is closely related to the life and health of users. Quality and safety are always the PRC subsidiaries’ core value. Reliable, safe and stable product quality is an important driving factor for maintaining market competitiveness. Through long-term business dealings with major hospitals and medical institutions across China, the PRC subsidiaries believe that they have developed a sophisticated quality control management system in accordance with the requirements of Chinese laws and regulations.

Table of Contents

The quality control management system fully covers the whole process of manufacturing, which consists of three parts: raw materials inspection, production check, and product examination.

Raw materials are inspected when they arrive Hangzhou Shanyou’s manufacturing facilities. Hangzhou Shanyou’s inspectors check their names, sizes, models, quantities, packaging, and supplier qualifications, to make sure they are in accordance with the purchasing order or receipt. After the materials pass the inspection, the inspectors put them on record and issue a notice of inbound, suggesting them to be put in storage. The quality control managers check the raw materials again, and review the record and notice, granting approval for storage if the materials are compatible with the description of the record and notice.

Hangzhou Shanyou has made process flow diagrams for all the products, specifying technological parameters and critical parts for quality control. Quality examiners will inspect the production process, to confirm if the production strictly follows the diagrams.

Hangzhou Shanyou inspects all its products before shipping them to customers. The following will be checked and examined after production and before Hangzhou Shanyou ships its products to customers: 1) whether the production strictly follows the procedures listed on the process flow diagram; 2) whether key and/or special processes of production are verified; 3) whether modifications of production assignments, raw materials, and production techniques, if applicable, are made according to instructions; and 4) whether all raw materials are checked, including their names, sizes, models, quantities, packaging, and supplier qualifications.

Hangzhou Shanyou prioritizes product quality management. It is committed to strengthening the professional ethics and cultivating quality consciousness of its employees and forming a strict quality management system, which it believes is in line with international standards.

The quality control management programs have earned Hangzhou Shanyou a number of quality-related manufacturing designations. In 2020, Hangzhou Shanyou received European Union’s CE certification, allowing certain of its products (such as endotracheal tubes, laryngeal mask airways, laryngoscope blades, face masks and suction catheters) to be sold in Europe.

In the same year, Hangzhou Shanyou also received ISO 13485 system certification for over 20 products, including nasogastric tubes, catheter mounts, intubating stylets, artery compression tourniquets, and endotracheal tube holders, demonstrating their ability to provide such safe and high-quality medical devices that meet ISO requirement.

In 2022, Hangzhou Shanyou also registered 17 products with the FDA (registration number: 3007127332), including a surgical respirator, nasal oxygen cannula, reservoir bag and nasopharyngeal airway, allowing their products to enter the U.S. market. It has 17 products that have passed the inspections administered by the local authorities in Zhejiang province and obtained the registration certificates. Other products have also passed relevant inspections. The surgical respirator is listed with FDA (listing number: D380459), and both their medical mask and protective mask are CE marked.

However, despite the quality control management system, Hangzhou Shanyou cannot eliminate the risks of errors, defects, or failures. Hangzhou Shanyou may fail to detect or cure defects as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, including:

• technical or mechanical malfunctions in the production process;

• human error or malfeasance by quality control personnel;

• tampering by third parties; and

• defective raw materials or equipment.

Failure to detect quality defects in the products could result in patient injury, customer dissatisfaction, or other problems that could harm Hangzhou Shanyou’s reputation and business, expose it to liability, and adversely affect its revenue and profitability. Relevant PRC laws and regulations were formulated to strengthen the administration of rules pertaining to product quality, as well as to clarify the rules on product liability, protect consumers and maintain social and economic order. Products offered for sale in China must meet the relevant quality and safety standards. Violations of state or industrial standards for health, safety and any other related violations may result in civil liabilities and penalties, such as compensation for damages, fines, suspension, or shutdown of business, as well as confiscation of products illegally produced for sale and the sales proceeds of such products.

On December 9, 2019, Hangzhou Shanyou was required to recall a batch of disposable breathing circuits and arrange internal rectification, since a connection part was insufficiently welded at the machine end and a circuit did not pass the leakage test. Hangzhou Shanyou recalled all of the breathing circuits involved and arranged the internal rectification. After investigation and evaluation, Hangzhou Shanyou confirmed the involved products would not cause harm to human health and all the affected goods were disposed of.

The PRC subsidiaries’ products are subject to various laws and regulations relating to medical devices with various requirements in details, including but not limited to the registration and filings of medical devices, the production and operation license, the production and quality management. Although the PRC subsidiaries endeavor to stay in compliance with such laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that the PRC subsidiaries comply with relevant laws and regulations at all times. Any such failure may have a material and adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As of the date of the prospectus, we or the PRC subsidiaries are not aware of any other investigations, prosecutions, disputes, claims or other proceedings in respect of quality issues, nor have we or the PRC subsidiaries been penalized additionally or can foresee any penalty to be made by any related PRC government authorities.

Environmental Matters

Hangzhou Shanyou’s production activities are governed by PRC laws and regulations. The wastewater the Hangzhou Shanyou generates is sanitary wastewater, which can be disposed directly into municipal pipelines. The corner wastes generated are cleaned and collected by the cleaning personnel on time, and transported to the municipal garbage disposal site for treatment by the local sanitation department. Solid wastes generated during operation are collected and sent to relevant manufacturers for recycling. If new products are developed in the future, Hangzhou Shanyou will take corresponding environmental protection measures according to relevant laws and regulations.

As of the date of this prospectus, except as disclosed in this prospectus, neither we nor Hangzhou Shanyou are aware of any warning, investigations, prosecutions, disputes, claims or other proceedings in respect of environmental protection, nor has Hangzhou Shanyou been punished or can it foresee any punishment to be made by any government authorities of the PRC with regard thereto.

Employees

As of September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the PRC subsidiaries had a total of 278, 214 and 300 full time employees, respectively. The following table sets forth the number of the full-time employees categorized by areas of operations as of September 30, 2022:

Function/Department		Number
Manufacturing		155
Research and Development		31
General		39
Sales and Marketing		40
Management		13
Total		278

Our success depends on the PRC subsidiaries’ ability to attract, motivate, train and retain qualified personnel. We believe the PRC subsidiaries offer their employees competitive compensation packages and an environment that encourages self-development and, as a result, have generally been able to attract and retain qualified personnel and maintain a stable core management team.

As required by PRC laws and regulations, the PRC subsidiaries participate in various employee benefit plans that are organized by municipal and provincial governments, including, among other things, pension, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, on-the-job injury insurance, and housing fund plans through a PRC government-mandated benefit contribution plan. The PRC subsidiaries are required under PRC laws to make contributions to employee benefit plans at specified percentages of the salaries, bonuses and certain allowances of their employees. As of the date of this prospectus, (i) some of the PRC subsidiaries have not completed the social insurance registration and the housing fund registration; (ii) the PRC subsidiaries did not make contributions in the full amount for the social insurance fund and housing provident fund for their employees, as required under the relevant PRC laws and regulations; and (iii) the PRC subsidiaries did not make contributions in the housing fund for some employees. For the fiscal years of 2022 and 2021, $295,009 and $420,317 of contributions for social insurance fund, respectively, should have been made but were not. For the fiscal years of 2021 and 2020, $92,945 and $181,984 of contributions for the housing provident fund, respectively, should have been made but were not. Please see “Risk Factors — Failure to make adequate contributions to various employee benefit plans and withhold individual income tax on employees’ salaries as required by PRC regulations may subject the PRC subsidiaries to penalties” on page 30.

We believe the PRC subsidiaries maintain a good working relationship with their employees, and the PRC subsidiaries have not experienced any material labor disputes. None of their employees are represented by a labor union.

Patents

According to the PRC Patent Law promulgated by the SCNPC on March 12, 1984, and last amended on October 17, 2020 with effect from June 1, 2021, and as advised by our PRC counsel, Jingtian & Gongcheng, during the patent protection period, a patent can be renewed every year to preserve the exclusive proprietary rights in the patent by paying an annual fee commencing from the year in which the patent right is granted; otherwise, the patent right will be terminated in mainland China. Once a patent is expired, it cannot be renewed, however, the patent can still be used. The PRC subsidiaries closely monitor the payment date of each patent and have, as of the date of this prospectus, paid patent fees in a timely manner to maintain the patent’s validity. The Company does not expect that the loss of any particular patent would have a materially adverse effect on the PRC subsidiaries’ business and the Group’s financial condition and results of operations, for the following reasons: i) through the firm relationship with the suppliers and customers, professional brand loyalty and stable sales channels established during the protection period, we believe that the PRC subsidiaries’ products can maintain stable sales performances after the patent protection period; ii) the core customers of the PRC subsidiaries are hospitals at all levels in China, and these hospitals strictly choose their suppliers based on suppliers’ product quality and quantity, timeliness of delivery, reputation, etc.; and iii) the PRC subsidiaries plan to continuously keep investing in R&D and developing new patents. Therefore, after the protection period, even though other manufactures can produce medical devices with the PRC subsidiaries’ patents, it is expected that the PRC subsidiaries will still be able to sell their products to their core customers. In addition, the PRC subsidiaries expect to constantly improve and upgrade existing technologies, which can generate new technical patents, which may preserve their prominence in this field despite any patent losses.

Regulation on Foreign Investment Restrictions

Investment activities in mainland China by foreign investors are principally governed by the Catalog of Industries for Encouraging Foreign Investment (2022 Edition), or the Catalog, as promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (“MOFCOM”), and the National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) on October 26, 2022, and the Special Administrative Measures for Access of Foreign Investment (2021 Edition), or the Negative List (2021), as promulgated on December 27, 2021. According to the Negative List (2021), our businesses operated in the PRC do not fall into the restricted or prohibited categories.

In addition, a foreign-invested enterprise in the PRC is required to comply with other regulations on its incorporation, operation and changes. On March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress (“NPC”) adopted the Foreign Investment Law (the “FIL”), which became effective on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the FIL, PRC will grant national treatment to foreign-invested entities, except for those foreign-invested entities that operate in industries that fall within “restricted” or “prohibited” categories as prescribed in the Negative List (2021) to be released or approved by the State Council.

On December 26, 2019, the State Council promulgated the Implementation Rules to the Foreign Investment Law, which became effective on January 1, 2020. The implementation rules further clarify that the state encourages and promotes foreign investment, protects the lawful rights and interests of foreign investors, regulates foreign investment administration, continues to optimize a foreign investment environment, and advances a higher-level opening. On December 30, 2019, the MOFCOM and SAMR jointly promulgated the Measures for Information Reporting on Foreign Investment, which became effective on January 1, 2020. Pursuant to the Measures for Information Reporting on Foreign Investment, where a foreign investor carries out investment activities in mainland China, directly or indirectly, the foreign investor or the foreign-invested enterprise shall submit the investment information to the competent commerce department.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, which came into force on March 31, 2023. The New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings refine the regulatory system for domestic company’s overseas offering and listing by subjecting both direct and indirect overseas offering and listing activities to the filing-based administration, and clearly defines the circumstances where provisions for direct and indirect overseas offering and listing apply and relevant regulatory requirements.

According to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, among other things, a domestic company in the PRC that seeks to offer and list securities on overseas markets shall fulfill the filing procedures with the CSRC as per requirement of the Trial Administrative Measures. Where a domestic company seeks to directly offer and list securities on overseas markets, the issuer shall file with the CSRC. Where a domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities on overseas markets, the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity, which shall, as the domestic responsible entity, file with the CSRC. Initial public offerings or listings on overseas markets shall be filed with the CSRC within 3 working days after the relevant application is submitted overseas. The required filing materials with the CSRC include (without limitation): (i) record-filing reports and related undertakings; (ii) compliance certificates, filing or approval documents from the primary regulators of applicants’ businesses (if applicable); (iii) security assessment opinions issued by related departments (if applicable); (iv) PRC legal opinions issued by domestic law firms (with related undertakings); and (v) prospectus or listing documents. If an issuer offers securities on the same overseas market where it has previously offered and listed securities subsequently, filings shall be made with the CSRC within 3 working days after the offering is completed. Upon occurrence of any material event, such as change of control, investigations or sanctions imposed by overseas securities regulatory agencies or other relevant competent authorities, change of listing status or transfer of listing segment, or voluntary or mandatory delisting, after an issuer has offered and listed securities on an overseas market, the issuer shall submit a report thereof to CSRC within 3 working days after the occurrence and public

106

disclosure of such event. Further, an overseas securities company that serves as a sponsor or lead underwriter for overseas securities offering and listing by domestic companies shall file with the CSRC within 10 working days after signing its first engagement agreement for such business, and submit to the CSRC, no later than January 31 each year, an annual report of its business activities in the previous year associated with overseas securities offering and listing by domestic companies. If an overseas securities company has entered into engagement agreements before the effectuation of the Trial Administrative Measures and is serving in practice as a sponsor or lead underwriter for overseas securities offering and listing by domestic companies, it shall file with the CSRC within 30 working days after the Trial Administrative Measures take effect.

Under the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, a domestic company is prohibited from overseas offering and listing if any of the following circumstances is involved: (1) where such securities offering and listing is explicitly prohibited by provisions in laws, administrative regulations and relevant state rules; (2) where the intended securities offering and listing may endanger national security as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with laws; (3) where the domestic company intending to make the securities offering and listing, or its controlling shareholders and the actual controller, have committed crimes such as corruption, bribery, embezzlement, misappropriation of property or undermining the order of the socialist market economy during the latest three years; (4) where the domestic company intending to make the securities offering and listing is suspected of committing crimes or major violations of laws and regulations, and is under investigation according to law, and no conclusion has yet been made thereof; and (5) where there are material ownership disputes over equity held by the domestic company’s controlling shareholder or by other shareholders that are controlled by the controlling shareholder and/or actual controller. Moreover, a domestic company that seeks to offer and list securities on overseas markets shall abide by certain other regulatory requirements as set out in the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, including, without limitation to, compliance with laws of national secrecy, foreign investment, cybersecurity, data security, cross-border investment and financing, foreign exchange, and other laws and relevant provisions.

The Trial Administrative Measures also provides that if the issuer both meets the following criteria, the overseas securities offering and listing conducted by such issuer will be deemed as indirect overseas offering by PRC domestic companies: (i) 50% or more of any of the issuer’s operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent fiscal year is accounted for by domestic companies; and (ii) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in mainland China, or its main place(s) of business are located in mainland China, or the majority of senior management staff in charge of its business operations and management are PRC citizens or have their usual place(s) of residence located in mainland China. Where an issuer submits an application for initial public offering to competent overseas regulators, such issuer must file with the CSRC within three working days after such application is submitted. The Overseas Listing Trial Measures also requires subsequent reports to be filed with the CSRC on material events, such as change of control or voluntary or forced delisting of the issuer(s) who have completed overseas offerings and listings.

Pursuant to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, the CSRC will conclude the filing procedures and publish the filing results on the CSRC website within 20 working days after receiving the filing documents if the filing documents are complete and in compliance with stipulated requirements. However, during the filing process, the CSRC may request the Company to supply additional documents or may consult with competent authorities, the time for which will not be counted in the 20 working days. We are required to complete the filing procedures before the closing of this offering, pursuant to the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings.

According to the Trial Administrative Measures, if a domestic company fails to fulfill filing procedures, or offers and lists securities on an overseas market in violation of the measures, the CSRC shall order rectification, issue warnings to such domestic company, and impose a fine of between RMB1,000,000 and RMB10,000,000. Directly liable persons-in-charge and other directly liable persons shall be warned and each imposed a fine of between RMB500,000 and RMB5,000,000. Controlling shareholders and actual controllers of the domestic company that organize or instruct the aforementioned violations shall be imposed a fine of between RMB1,000,000 and RMB10,000,000.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Provisions on Strengthening Confidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions”), which also became effective on March 31, 2023. According to the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions, domestic companies that seek overseas offering and listing (either in direct or indirect means) and the securities companies and securities service (either incorporated domestically or overseas) providers that undertake relevant businesses shall institute a sound confidentiality and archives administration system, and take necessary measures to fulfill confidentiality and archives administration obligations. They shall not leak any state secret

107

or working secret of government agencies, or harm national security and public interests. Therefore, a domestic company that plans to, either directly or 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 laws, and file with the secrecy administrative department at the same level. The above-mentioned documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, therefore, the domestic company shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable regulations.

Furthermore, the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions stipulates that a domestic company that provides accounting archives or copies of accounting archives to any entities, including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators and individuals, shall fulfill due procedures in compliance with applicable regulations. Working papers produced in mainland China by securities companies and securities service providers in the process of undertaking businesses related to overseas offering and listing by domestic companies shall be retained in mainland China. Where such documents need to be transferred or transmitted to areas outside of mainland China, relevant approval procedures stipulated by regulations shall be followed.

Regulation on Foreign Exchange Control

In 1996, China published The Foreign Currency Administration Regulations, and late on amended on January 14, 1997 and August 5, 2008. This Regulation has been the major one governing the foreign exchange activities in China. Under this Regulation, the Renminbi is convertible for foreign currency account items, including the distribution of dividends, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions. Conversion of Renminbi into foreign currency for capital account items, such as, loans, investment in securities and repatriation of investments, however, is subject to the registration of the Sate Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) or its local counterparts.

Under the Regulation and relevant rules, foreign-invested enterprises may buy, sell and remit foreign currencies at banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange transactions for settlement of currency account transactions after providing valid commercial documents and, in the case of capital account item transactions, only after registration with the SAFE and, as the case may be, other relevant PRC government authorities as required by law.

According to the Overseas Investment Regulation which was issued in 2014, capital investments directed outside of mainland China by domestic or foreign-invested enterprises are also subject to restrictions, which include registration filing with Ministry of Commerce, even though the Notice on Further Improving and Adjusting the Foreign Exchange Management Policy for Capital Account (“No. 2 Notice”) passed in February of 2014 by SAFE has made domestic enterprises much easier releasing foreign currency overseas to foreign companies, including connected companies.

The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the U.S. dollar. Under the new policy, the Renminbi will be permitted to fluctuate within a band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. The PRC subsidiaries receive a significant portion of their revenue in Renminbi, which is not a freely convertible currency. Under the current structure, our income will be primarily derived from dividend payments from our subsidiaries in China. Even though the PRC subsidiaries may remit the income from China to anywhere deemed desirable, the fluctuation of exchange rate may be a disadvantage to us if Renminbi depreciates.

On January 26, 2017, the SAFE promulgated the Notice on Improving the Check of Authenticity and Compliance to Further Promote Foreign Exchange Control (the “SAFE Circular 3”), which stipulates several capital control measures with respect to the outbound remittance of profit from domestic entities to offshore entities, including (i) under the principle of genuine transaction, banks shall check board resolutions regarding profit distribution, the original version of tax filing records and audited financial statements; and (ii) domestic entities shall hold income to account for previous years’ losses before remitting the profits. Moreover, pursuant to the SAFE Circular 3, domestic entities shall make detailed explanations of the sources of capital and utilization arrangements, and provide board resolutions, contracts and other proof when completing the registration procedures in connection with an outbound investment.

On October 23, 2019, the SAFE promulgated the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Promoting Cross-border Trade and Investment Facilitation (the “SAFE Circular 28”), which expressly allows foreign-invested enterprises that do not have equity investments in their approved business scope to use their capital obtained from foreign exchange settlement to make domestic equity investments as long as there is a truthful investment and such investment is in compliance with the foreign investment-related laws and regulations.

Regulation on Foreign Exchange Registration of Offshore Investment by PRC Residents

In October of 2005, SAFE promulgated a Notification known as “Notification 75,” in which SAFE requires PRC residents to register their direct establishment or indirect control of an offshore entity (referred to in Notification as “special purpose vehicle.”), where such offshore entity was established for the purpose of overseas financing, provided that PRC residents contribute their legally owned assets or equity into such entity. In July of 2014, this Notification was replaced by Notification 37, “Notification on Relevant Issues Concerning Foreign Exchange Control on Domestic Residents’ Offshore Investment and Financing and Returning Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles,” which expanded SAFE oversight scope to include overseas investment registration as well. Meanwhile, Notification 37 also covers more areas such as PRC residents paying capital contribution with overseas assets or equity. Furthermore, Notification 37 requires amendment to the registration where any significant changes with respect to the special purpose vehicle capitalization or structure of the PRC resident itself (such as capital increase, capital reduction, share transfer or exchange, merger or spin off). On February 13, 2015, the SAFE promulgated a Notice on Further Simplifying and Improving Foreign Exchange Administration Policy on Direct Investment, or Notice 13, which became effective on June 1, 2015 and was amended on December 30, 2019. Under Notice 13, applications for foreign exchange registration of inbound foreign direct investments and outbound overseas direct investments, including those required under Notification 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.

Regulation on Dividend Distributions

The PRC subsidiary, WFOE, is wholly foreign-owned enterprises under the PRC law. The principal regulations governing the distribution of dividends paid by WFOE include Corporate Law (1993) as lastly amended in 2018, the Foreign Investment Law and its Implementing Regulations, and the Enterprise Income Tax Law (2007) as lastly amended in 2018 and its Implementation Regulations (2007) as lastly amended in 2019.

Under these requirements, foreign-invested enterprises may pay dividends only out of their accumulated profit, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. A PRC company is required to allocate at least 10% of their respective accumulated after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain capital reserve funds until the aggregate amount of these reserve funds have reached 50% of the registered capital of the enterprises. A PRC company is not permitted to distribute any profits until any losses from prior fiscal years have been offset. Profits retained from prior fiscal years may be distributed together with distributable profits from the current fiscal year.

On March 16, 2007, the NPC enacted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, and on December 6, 2007, the State Council issued the Implementation Regulations on the Enterprise Income Tax Law, both of which became effective on January 1, 2008. The Enterprise Income Tax Law was lately amended on December 29, 2018 and the Implementation Regulations on the Enterprise Income Tax Law was lately amended on April 23, 2019. Under this law and its implementation regulations, dividends payable by a foreign-invested enterprise in the PRC to its foreign investor who is a non-resident enterprise will be subject to a 10% (5% for Hong Kong residents) withholding tax, unless any such foreign investor’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with the PRC that provides for a lower withholding tax rate.

M&A Rules and Regulation on Overseas Listings

On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, Ministry of Commerce, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the State Administration for Taxation, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, CSRC and SAFE, jointly adopted the Regulation on Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or so called the M&A Rules and amended it on June 22, 2009. The M&A Rules purport, among other things, to require that offshore SPVs that are controlled by PRC entities or individuals and that have been formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of PRC domestic interests held by such PRC entities or individuals, obtain the approval of the CSRC prior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. After the FIL and its implementation regulations became effective on January 1, 2020, the provisions of the M&A Rules remain effective to the extent they are not inconsistent with the FIL and its implementation regulations.

Furthermore, on July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly promulgated the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law, pursuant to which Chinese regulators are required to accelerate rulemaking related to the overseas issuance and listing of securities, and update the existing laws and regulations related to data security, cross-border data flow, and management of confidential information.

Following the promulgation of the Cybersecurity Law and Data Security Law, on February 17, 2023, the CSRC issued the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings, which came into force on March 31, 2023. The New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings provided certain examination and filing mechanisms with respect to a Chinese domestic enterprise’s offering of securities overseas.

As there are still uncertainties regarding the interpretation and implementation of such regulatory guidance, we cannot assure you that we or the PRC subsidiaries will be able to comply with new regulatory requirements relating to our future overseas capital-raising activities and we or the PRC subsidiaries may become subject to more stringent requirements with respect to matters including CSRC approval requirements, data privacy and cross-border investigation and enforcement of legal claims.

While the application of the M&A Rules and the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings remains unclear, the CSRC currently has not issued any definitive rule or interpretation concerning whether offerings such as our offering are subject to the CSRC approval procedures; and despite the lack of any definitive rule or interpretation from CSRC, the main purpose of the M&A rule is for national security and national industrial policy and so far none of the Chinese companies that have completed their public listing in the U.S. have obtained such approval; and the PRC subsidiaries’ business operations in China do not belong to a prohibited industry by foreign investment.

However, there is still uncertainty as to how the M&A Rules and the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings will be interpreted and implemented. If the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies subsequently determine that CSRC approval is required for this offering, we or the PRC subsidiaries may need to apply for remedial approval from the CSRC and we or the PRC subsidiaries may be subject to penalties and administrative sanctions administered by these regulatory agencies. These regulatory agencies may impose fines and penalties on the PRC subsidiaries’ operations in the PRC, limit the PRC subsidiaries’ operating privileges in the PRC, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into the PRC, or take other actions that could materially adversely affect the PRC subsidiaries’ and our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of our Ordinary Shares. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring us, or making it advisable for us, to halt this offering before settlement and delivery of our Ordinary Shares.

Restriction on Foreign Ownership

The principal regulation governing foreign ownership of businesses in the PRC is Guidance Catalogue for Industrial Structure Adjustments (2019 edition), effective as of January 1, 2020 and was partially revised on December 30, 2021 (the “Catalogue”). The Catalogue classifies the various industries into three categories: encouraged, restricted and prohibited. Risks and uncertainties relating to PRC regulation of medical device businesses include new laws, regulations or policies may be promulgated or announced that will regulate medical device. If these new laws, regulations or policies are promulgated, additional licenses may be required for the PRC subsidiaries’ operations. If the PRC subsidiaries’ operations do not comply with these new regulations after they become effective, or if the PRC subsidiaries fail to obtain any licenses required under these new laws and regulations, the PRC subsidiaries could be subject to penalties and their business operations could be disrupted.

Regulations on Offshore Parent Holding Companies’ Direct Investment in and Loans to Their PRC Subsidiaries

China has been open to foreign direct and indirect investments. An offshore company may invest in a PRC company. Such investment is subject to the FIL. Under the FIL, foreign investments no longer need to be approved by Chinese government, but only need to register the investment with Chinese regulatory agency.

However, Chinese government still has foreign exchange control policy. The money transfer in or out of China is still under tight control. So, shareholder loans made by offshore parent holding companies to their PRC subsidiaries are regarded as foreign debts for regulatory purposes, which debts are subject to a number of PRC laws and regulations, including the PRC Foreign Exchange Administration Regulations, Administration Rules on the Settlement, Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange, Administration of Foreign Debt Tentative Procedures, the Statistical Monitoring of Foreign Debt Tentative Provisions, the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Provisional Regulations on Statistics and Supervision of External Debt and the Provisional Measures on Administration of Foreign Debt.

Pursuant to the Provisional Measures on Administration of Foreign Debt (the “Foreign Debt Measures”) issued by the State Development Planning Commission (revised), Ministry of Finance and SAFE in January 2003 and became effective on March 1, 2003, which was amended on July 26, 2022 and became effective on September 1, 2022, any loans provided

Table of Contents

by us to the subsidiary in mainland China in foreign currencies shall be classified as foreign debt under the Foreign Debt Measures. According to the Foreign Debt Measures, the sum of cumulative accrued amounts of medium-term to long-term foreign loans and balance amounts of short-term foreign loans taken by a foreign investment enterprise shall be limited to the difference between the total project investment amount approved by the government and the amount of registered capital. Foreign investment enterprises may take foreign loans freely within the scope of difference.

On January 12, 2017, the PBOC issued the Notice of People’s Bank of China on Matters Concerning Macro-prudential Management on All-round Cross-border Financing (the “No. 9 Notice”), which improved the policy framework of the cross-border financing. The No. 9 Notice clarifies the new calculation methods of the upper limit of the risk-weighted balance for all types of cross-border financing, in particular, the upper limit for risk-weighted balance for cross-border financing equals to the capital or the net assets multiplied by the leverage rate of cross-border financing and the macro-prudential adjustment parameters. In the case of the subsidiary in mainland China, the capital or the net assets is calculated at the net assets of each subsidiary, the leverage rate for cross-border financing for an enterprise is 2, and the macro-prudential adjustment parameter is 1 (the “All-Round Mode”). On March 11, 2020, the PBOC and SAFE promulgated the Circular of the People’s Bank of China and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Adjusting the Macro-prudential Regulation Parameter for Full-covered Cross-border Financing, which provides that based on the current macro economy and international balance of payments, the macro-prudential regulation parameter as set forth in the Notice 9 is updated from 1 to 1.25. On January 7, 2021, the PBOC and SAFE promulgated the Notice of PBC and SAFE on Adjusting the Macro-prudential Adjustment Parameter for Cross-border Financing of Companies, which provides that the macro-prudential regulation parameter of companies is updated from 1.25 to 1. Currently, the implementation of the foregoing methodologies in cross-border financing have not been formally determined by the PBOC and the SAFE. In the practice, according to the Q&A on Macro-prudential Regulation Parameter for Full-Covered Cross-border Financing (Phase I) (the “Q&A”) issued by the SAFE on May 27, 2017, FIEs shall submit a written filing report to the local foreign exchange bureau when they handle the foreign debt signing filing (registration) for the first time after the issuance of the Q&A, so as to clarify the cross-border financing management mode they choose during the transition period. If the All-Round Mode is selected, the latest audited net assets data shall be reported at the same time. Once the cross-border financing management mode is determined, it shall not be changed. Alternatively, if we choose to use the All-Round Mode, the amount of loans we can make to the subsidiary in mainland China as calculated according to the No. 9 Notice and the Notice of PBC and SAFE on Adjusting the Macro-prudential Adjustment Parameter for Cross-border Financing of Companies will not be more than 2 times of the net assets of such entities.

Moreover, as the debtors of cross-border financing, the subsidiary in mainland China is also required to comply with certain registration formalities for execution of foreign debt contracts with the foreign exchange bureau at the locality within fifteen working days after signing the contracts according to the Notice of State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Promulgation of the Administrative Measures on Registration of Foreign Debt which was promulgated by the SAFE in April 2013 and revised in May 2015.

Pursuant to the Circular of the National Development and Reform Commission on Promoting the Administrative Reform of the Record-filing and Registration System for the Issuance of Foreign Debt by Enterprises promulgated on September 14, 2015 (“Circular 2044”), before the issuance of foreign loans, enterprises shall first apply to the NDRC for record-filing and registration procedures and shall report the information on the issuance to NDRC within 10 business days after completion of each issuance. The term “foreign loan” shall mean RMB-denominated or foreign currency-denominated debt instruments with a maturity of one year or more which are issued overseas by domestic enterprises and their controlled overseas enterprises or branches and for which the principal and interest are repaid as agreed, including bonds issued overseas and long and medium-term international commercial loans, and so forth. On January 5, 2023, the NDRC issued the Administrative Measures for Review and Registration of Medium- and Long-term Foreign Debt of Enterprises, or Foreign Debt Registration Measures, which came into effect on February 10, 2023, and Circular 2044 is, therefore invalid. The Foreign Debt Registration Measures not only further clarifies the scope of debt instruments, including senior debt, perpetual debt, capital debt, medium-term note, convertible bond, exchangeable bond, financial leasing, and commercial loan, but also changes the record-filing and registration system to the review and registration system. According to the Foreign Debt Registration Measures, before incurring foreign debt, an enterprise shall obtain the Certificate of Review and Registration of Enterprise Incurrence of Foreign Debt, or the Certificate of Review and Registration, and complete the review and registration formalities. Without review and registration, no foreign debt may be incurred. An enterprise shall, within ten working days after incurring each foreign debt, report the information of incurring foreign debt to the review and registration authority via the network system, including the main operating indicators of the enterprise and the information about the foreign debt incurred, among others, and report the corresponding information about the foreign debt incurred within ten working days

111

Table of Contents

after the expiration of Certificate of Review and Registration. The above provisions shall apply to indirect overseas incurrence of foreign debt by domestic enterprises, which means that enterprises whose main business activities are in China, issuing bonds or borrowing commercial loans overseas in the name of enterprises registered overseas, based on the equity, assets, earnings or other similar rights and interests of the domestic enterprises, are subject to these provisions. However, the NDRC has not issued any other further explanation for the implementation of the Foreign Debt Registration Measures. In the practice, the NDRC’s attitude on whether foreign-invested enterprises with foreign loans with a term of more than one year need to register is still not completely unified, and it is generally determined on a case-by-case basis.

Regulations Relating to Tax

Enterprise income tax

According to the EIT Law, which was promulgated by the SCNPC on March 16, 2007 and last amended and effective on December 29, 2018, and the Enterprise Income Tax Implementation Regulations of the PRC (the “EITIR”), which was promulgated by the State Council on December 6, 2007 and last amended and effective on April 23, 2019, the enterprise income tax of both domestic and foreign-invested enterprises is unified at 25% with certain exceptions. According to the EIT Law, enterprises are classified as “resident enterprises” and “non-resident enterprises.” Pursuant to the EIT Law and the EITIR, PRC resident enterprises typically pay an enterprise income tax at the rate of 25%, while non-PRC resident enterprises without any branches in the PRC should pay an enterprise income tax in connection with their income from the PRC at the tax rate of 10%. Enterprises established under the laws of foreign countries or regions whose “de facto management bodies” (i.e., establishments that carry out substantial and overall management and control over production and operations, personnel, accounting and properties) are located in the PRC are considered as PRC tax resident enterprises, and will generally be subject to enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% of their global income.

Pursuant to the EIT Law, enterprises qualified as “High and New Technology Enterprises” are entitled to a 15% enterprise income tax rate rather than the 25% uniform statutory tax rate. The preferential tax treatment continues as long as an enterprise can retain its “High and New Technology Enterprise” status, which certificate is valid for a period of three years and renewable.

Value-added tax

According to Provisional Regulations on Value-added Tax of the PRC, which were promulgated by the State Council on December 13, 1993 and last amended on November 19, 2017, and the Implementing Rules for the Interim Regulations on Value-added Tax of the PRC promulgated by Ministry of Finance on December 25, 1993 and last amended on November 1, 2011, all enterprises and individuals that engage in the sale of goods, the provision of processing, repair and replacement services, the sale of services, intangible assets or immovable properties and the importation of goods within the territory of the PRC must pay value-added tax.

Dividend Withholding tax

According to the EIT Law and the EITIR, dividends paid by foreign-invested companies to their foreign investors that are non-resident enterprises as defined under the law are subject to withholding tax at a rate of 10%, unless otherwise provided in the relevant tax agreements entered into with the central government of the PRC. Pursuant to the Arrangement Between the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation on Income (the “Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement”) promulgated on August 21, 2006, if a Hong Kong resident enterprise is determined by the competent PRC tax authority to have satisfied the relevant conditions and requirements under such Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement, the withholding tax rate on the dividends the Hong Kong resident enterprise receives from a PRC resident enterprise may be reduced to 5% from 10% applicable under the EIT Law and the EITIR. However, based on the Notice of the State Taxation Administration on Certain Issues with Respect to the Enforcement of Dividend Provisions in Tax Treaties promulgated and took into effect on February 20, 2009 by the State Taxation Administration (the “STA”), if the relevant PRC tax authorities determine, in their discretion, that a company benefits from such reduced income tax rate due to a structure or arrangement that is primarily tax-driven, such PRC tax authorities may adjust the preferential tax treatment. Based on the Notice of the State Taxation Administration on the Recognition of Beneficial

113

Table of Contents

Owners in Tax Treaties, which was promulgated by STA on February 3, 2018 and came into effect on April 1, 2018, a comprehensive analysis will be used to determine beneficial ownership based on the actual situation of a specific case combined with certain principles, and if an applicant was obliged to pay more than 50% of its income to a third country (region) resident within 12 months of the receipt of the income, or the business activities undertaken by an applicant did not constitute substantive business activities including substantive manufacturing, distribution, management and other activities, the applicant was unlikely to be recognized as a beneficial owner to enjoy tax treaty benefits.

On August 30, 2007, the Anti-Monopoly Law, which was promulgated by the SCNPC, and amended on June 24, 2022 which amendment became effective on August 1, 2022, stipulates the regulation of market monopoly. The Anti-Monopoly Law prohibits the conclusion of a monopoly agreement between business operators, the abuse of a dominant market position by a business operator and concentration of undertakings which has or may have an effect of excluding or limiting market competition. The newly revised Anti-Monopoly Law proposes to increase the fines on business operators liable for illegal concentration to “no more than ten percent of the preceding year’s sales revenue of the business operators if the concentration of business operators has or may have an effect of excluding or limiting competition; or a fine of up to RMB5 million if the concentration of business operators does not have an effect of excluding or limiting competition.” Furthermore, the relevant authority may require business operators to declare where there is evidence that the resulting concentration has or may have the effect of eliminating or restricting competition, even if the level of such concentration does not reach the filing threshold. If the business operators fail to make a declaration, the relevant authority will conduct an investigation according to law.

Pursuant to the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the PRC promulgated by the SCNPC on September 1, 1993 and last amended on April 23, 2019, a business operator shall not resort to bribery to seek a transaction opportunity or competitive advantage by offering money or goods or by any other means, to (i) any employee of the counterparty in a transaction, (ii) any entity or individual entrusted by the counterparty in a transaction to handle relevant affairs, or (iii) any other entity or individual that takes advantage of powers or influence to influence a transaction. A business operator may expressly offer a discount to the counterparty or pay commissions to the intermediaries of a transaction in the course of transaction activities, which shall be properly recorded at both parties’ accounting books. Any commercial bribery committed by an employee of a given business operator will be deemed as conduct of such business operator unless evidence shows that such act is not related to such business operator’s efforts in seeking a transaction opportunity or competitive advantage.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships, or other arrangements or understandings between or among any of the directors, director nominees, executive officers or other person pursuant to which such person was selected to serve as a director or officer.

Duties of Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

(i) duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;

(ii) duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;

(iii) directors should not properly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

(iv) duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and

(v) duty to exercise independent judgment.

In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience which that director has.

118

Table of Contents

As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.

Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise when our board evaluates a particular business opportunity with respect to the above-listed criteria. We cannot assure you that any of the afore-mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor. Furthermore, each of our officers and directors has pre-existing fiduciary obligations to other businesses of which they are officers or directors.

Our company has the right to seek damages if a duty owed by our directors is breached. A shareholder may in certain limited exceptional circumstances have the right to seek damages in our name if a duty owed by our directors is breached. You should refer to “Description of Share Capital — Comparison of Cayman Islands Corporate Law and U.S. Corporate Law” for additional information on our standard of corporate governance under Cayman Islands law.

In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our memorandum and articles of association as may be amended from time to time. Our company has a right to seek damages against any director who breaches a duty owed to us.

Our directors have all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, our business affairs. The functions and powers of our Board of Directors include, among others:

• convening shareholders’ annual general meetings and reporting its work to shareholders at such meetings;

• declaring dividends and distributions;

• appointing officers and determining the term of office of officers;

• exercising the borrowing powers of our Company and mortgaging the property of our Company; and

• approving the transfer of shares of our Company, including the registering of such shares in our share register.

Terms of Directors and Officers

Our officers are appointed by and serve at the discretion of our board of directors and the shareholders voting by ordinary resolution. Our directors are not subject to a set term of office and hold office until the next general meeting called for the appointment of directors and until their successor is duly appointed or such time as they die, resign or are removed from office by a shareholders’ ordinary resolution. The office of a director will be vacated automatically if, among other things, the directors resigns in writing, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his/her creditors generally or is found to be or becomes of unsound mind.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our executive officers. Under these agreements, each of our executive officers is employed for an initial term of three years and is subject to successive, automatic one-year extensions unless either party gives notice of non-extension to the other party at least 30 days prior to the end of the applicable term.

The executive officers are entitled to a fixed salary and to participate in our equity incentive plans, if any and other company benefits, each as determined by the Board from time to time.

We may terminate the executive officer’s employment for cause, at any time, without notice or remuneration, for certain acts, such as conviction or plea of guilty to a felony or grossly negligent or dishonest acts to our detriment, or misconduct or a failure to perform agreed duties. In such case, the executive officer will not be entitled to receive payment of any severance benefits or other amounts by reason of the termination, and his right to all other benefits will terminate, except as required by any applicable law. We may also terminate the executive officer’s employment

119

In such case of termination by us, we are required to provide the following severance payments and benefits to the executive officer: a cash payment of three month of base salary as of the date of such termination.

In such case, the executive officer will be entitled to receive compensation equivalent to three months of his or her base salary.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company and our affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, which we refer to as the Companies Act below.

We intend to adopt an amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (which we refer to as the Articles below) immediately prior to the completion of this offering and will replace our current memorandum and articles of association in its entirety.

Our authorized share capital is US$50,000 divided into 100,000,000 Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0005 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, 12,500,000 Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding.

We were incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act on March 1, 2022. A Cayman Islands exempted company:

• is a company that conducts its business mainly outside the Cayman Islands;

• is prohibited from trading in the Cayman Islands with any person, firm or corporation except in furtherance of the business of the exempted company carried on outside the Cayman Islands (and for this purpose can effect and conclude contracts in the Cayman Islands and exercise in the Cayman Islands all of its powers necessary for the carrying on of its business outside the Cayman Islands);

• does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

• does not have to make its register of members open to inspection by shareholders of that company;

• may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation;

• may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

• may register as a limited duration company; and

• may register as a segregated portfolio company.

The following are summaries of material provisions of our proposed post-offering memorandum and articles of association and the Companies Act insofar as they relate to the material terms of our Ordinary Shares that we expect will become effective upon the completion of this offering.

Ordinary Shares

General

Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which will be effective immediately prior to the completion of this offering, the objects of our Company are unrestricted and we have the full power and authority to carry out any object not prohibited by the law of the Cayman Islands.

All of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares will be fully paid up and non-assessable. Our Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form, and are issued when registered in our register of members. Unless the directors determine otherwise, each holder of our ordinary share will not receive a certificate in respect of such ordinary share. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their ordinary share. We may not issue shares or warrants to bearer.

Voting Rights

A shareholder may participate in a general meeting in person, by proxy or by telephone or other electronic means. At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote at the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands, unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands) demanded by the chairman of such meeting or by at least two shareholders having the right to vote on the resolutions or one or more shareholders present who together hold not less than ten percent of the voting rights of all those who are entitled to vote on the resolution. Unless a poll

126

Table of Contents

is so demanded, a declaration by the chairman as to the result of a resolution and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of the outcome of a show of hands, without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favor of, or against, that resolution.

If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.

In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of the meeting at which the show of hands takes place or at which the poll is demanded, shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, (i) an ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote at a general meeting of the company; and (ii) a resolution is deemed to be a special resolution where it has been approved by either (i) at least two-thirds (or any higher threshold specified in a company’s articles of association) of a company’s shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting for which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution has been given; or (ii) if so authorized by a company’s articles of association, by a unanimous written resolution of all of the company’s shareholders.

Under Cayman Islands law, some matters, such as amending the memorandum and articles of association, changing the name or resolving to be registered by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, require the approval of shareholders by a special resolution.

General Meetings of Shareholders and Shareholder Proposals

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. Accordingly, we may, but shall not be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as an annual general meeting. Any annual general meeting held shall be held at such time and place as may be determined by our board of directors. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

The directors may convene general meetings whenever they think fit. General meetings shall also be convened on the written requisition of one or more of the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at our general meetings who (together) hold at least ten percent of the rights to vote at such general meeting in accordance with the notice provisions in the articles, specifying the purpose of the meeting and signed by each of the shareholders making the requisition. If the directors do not convene such meeting for a date not later than 21 clear days’ after the date of receipt of the written requisition, those shareholders who requested the meeting may convene the general meeting themselves within three months after the end of such period of 21 clear days in which case reasonable expenses incurred by them as a result of the directors failing to convene a meeting shall be reimbursed by us.

At least 5 clear days’ notice of an extraordinary general meeting and 5 clear days’ notice of an annual general meeting shall be given to shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting. The notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of that business. In addition, if a resolution is proposed as a special resolution, the text of that resolution shall be given to all shareholders. Notice of every general meeting shall also be given to the directors and our auditors.

Subject to the Companies Act and with the consent of the shareholders who, individually or collectively, hold at least 90 percent of the voting rights of all those who have a right to vote at a general meeting, a general meeting may be convened on shorter notice.

A quorum required for any general meeting of shareholders consists of one or more shareholders present or by proxy, holding shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of all votes attaching to all of our shares in issue and entitled to vote at such general meeting.

If, within 15 minutes from the time appointed for the general meeting, or at any time during the meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of shareholders, shall be cancelled. In any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same time and place seven days or to such other time or place as is determined by the directors.

The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present, adjourn the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned for seven days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in accordance with the articles of association.

127

Table of Contents

Dividends

Subject to the Companies Act and any rights and restrictions of any other class or series of shares, our board of directors may, from time to time and in accordance with our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, declare dividends on the shares issued and authorize payment of the dividends out of our lawfully available funds. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, our company may pay a dividend out of either profit or the share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in our company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. The “share premium account,” represents the excess of the price paid to our company on the issue of its shares over the par or “nominal” value of those shares, which is similar to the U.S. concept of additional paid in capital.

Unless provided for by the rights attached to a share, no dividend or other monies payable by the us in respect of a share shall bear interest.

Transfer of Ordinary Shares

Provided that a transfer of Ordinary Shares complies with applicable rules of Nasdaq Capital Market, a shareholder may transfer Ordinary Shares to another person by completing an instrument of transfer in a common form or in a form prescribed by Nasdaq Capital Market or in any other form approved by the directors, executed:

(a) where the Ordinary Shares are fully paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder; and

(b) where the Ordinary Shares are partly paid, by or on behalf of that shareholder and the transferee.

Our Board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share which is not fully paid up or on which we have a lien. Our Board of Directors may also decline to register any transfer of any Ordinary Share unless:

• the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate for the Ordinary Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our Board of Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

• the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of Ordinary Shares;

• the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

• in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Ordinary Share is to be transferred does not exceed four;

• a fee of such maximum sum as Nasdaq may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as our directors may from time to time require is paid to us in respect thereof; or

• the Ordinary Shares transferred are free of any lien in favor of us.

If our directors refuse to register a transfer they shall, within three months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

This, however, is unlikely to affect market transactions of the Ordinary Shares purchased by investors in the public offering. Once the Ordinary Shares have been listed, the legal title to such Ordinary Shares and the registration details of those Ordinary Shares in the Company’s register of members will remain with Transhare Corporation. All market transactions with respect to those Ordinary Shares will then be carried out without the need for any kind of registration by the directors, as the market transactions will all be conducted through the DTC systems.

The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required of the Nasdaq Capital Market, be suspended and the register closed at such times and for such periods as our Board of Directors may from time to time determine, provided, however, that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than 30 days in any year as our board may determine.

Winding Up; Liquidation

Upon the winding up of our company, after the full amount that holders of any issued shares ranking senior to the Ordinary Shares as to distribution on liquidation or winding up are entitled to receive has been paid or set aside for payment, the holders of our Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive any remaining assets of our company available for distribution as determined by the liquidator. The shareholders may, subject to our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, pass a special resolution allowing the liquidator to do either or both of the following:

• to divide in specie among the shareholders the whole or any part of our assets and, for that purpose, to value any assets and to determine how the division shall be carried out as between the shareholders or different classes of shareholders; and

• to vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees for the benefit of shareholders and those liable to contribute to the winding up.

The directors have the authority to present a petition for our winding up to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on our behalf without the sanction of a resolution passed at a general meeting.

Calls on Ordinary Shares and Forfeiture of Ordinary Shares

Our Board of Directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts unpaid on their Ordinary Shares in a notice served to such shareholders at least 14 clear days prior to the specified time and place of payment. Any Ordinary Shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture. No shareholder shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless all calls or other sums payable by such shareholder have been paid. Our Board of Directors may deduct from a dividend or any other amount payable to a person in respect of an Ordinary Share any amount due by that person to the Company on a call or otherwise in relation to an Ordinary Share.

Redemption of Shares, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares

Subject to the Companies Act and any rights for the time being conferred on the shareholders holding a particular class of shares, we may by action of our directors:

1. issue shares that are to be redeemed or liable to be redeemed, at our option or the shareholder holding those redeemable shares, on the terms and in the manner our directors determine before the issue of those shares;

2. with the consent by special resolution of the shareholders holding shares of a particular class, vary the rights attaching to that class of shares so as to provide that those shares are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at our option on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine at the time of such variation; and

3. purchase all or any of our own shares of any class including any redeemable shares on the terms and in the manner which the directors determine at the time of such purchase.

We may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares in any manner authorized by the Companies Act, including out of any combination of capital, our profits and the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares.

When making a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of shares, the directors may make the payment in cash or in specie (or partly in one and partly in the other) if so authorized by the terms of the allotment of those shares or by the terms applying to those shares, or otherwise by agreement with the shareholder holding those shares.

Under the Companies Act, the redemption or repurchase of any share may be paid out of our Company’s profits or out of the proceeds of a new issue of shares made for the purpose of such redemption or repurchase, or out of capital (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve). If the repurchase proceeds are paid out of our Company’s capital, our Company must, immediately following such payment, be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, under the Companies Act, no such share may be redeemed or repurchased (a) unless it is fully paid up, (b) if such redemption or repurchase would result in there being no shares outstanding and (c) unless the manner of purchase (if not so authorized under the articles of association) has first been authorized by a resolution of our shareholders.

129

Table of Contents

In addition, under the Companies Act, our Company may accept the surrender of any fully paid share for no consideration unless, as a result of the surrender, the surrender would result in there being no shares outstanding (other than shares held as treasury shares).

Variations of Rights of Shares

If at any time, our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class), whether or not our Company is being wound-up, may be varied either with the consent in writing of the holders of two-thirds of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the issued shares of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with such existing class of shares.

Issuance of Additional Shares

Our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorizes our Board of Directors to issue additional Ordinary Shares from time to time as our Board of Directors shall determine, to the extent of available authorized but unissued shares.

The board of directors is empowered to designate and issue from time to time one or more classes or series of preference shares and to fix and determine the relative rights, preferences, designations, qualifications, privileges, options, conversion rights, limitations and other special or relative rights of each such class or series so authorized. Such action could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our Ordinary Shares or could have the effect of discouraging any attempt by a person or group to obtain control of us.

Inspection of Books and Records

Holders of our Ordinary Shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records. However, we will provide our shareholders with annual audited financial statements. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Some provisions of our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of our Company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including provisions that that authorize our board of directors to issue shares at such times and on such terms and conditions as the board of directors may decide without any further vote or action by our shareholders, and provisions that restrict the ability of our shareholders to call meetings and to propose special matters for consideration at shareholder meetings.

However, under Cayman Islands law, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association for a proper purpose and for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our Company.

Changes in Capital

Subject to the Companies Act, our shareholders may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

• increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such classes and amount, as the resolution prescribes;

• consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of a larger amount than our existing shares;

• convert all or any of its paid up shares into stock and reconvert the stock into paid up shares of any denomination;

130

Table of Contents

• sub-divide our existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount than that fixed by our post-offering amended and restated memorandum of association; provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share will be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; and

• cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of our share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled or, in the case of shares without nominal par value, diminish the number of shares into which our capital is divided.

Exempted Company

We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except that an exempted company that does not hold a license to carry on business in the Cayman Islands:

• does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;

• is not required to open its register of members for inspection;

• does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

• is prohibited from making any invitation to the public in the Cayman Islands to subscribe for any of its securities;

• may not issue negotiable or bearer shares, but may issue shares with no par value;

• may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

• may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

• may register as an exempted limited duration company; and

• may register as a segregated portfolio company.

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

Under the Companies Act, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:

• the names and addresses of our members, and, a statement of the shares held by each member, which:

• distinguishes each share by its number (so long as the share has a number);

• confirms the amount paid, or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member;

• confirms the number and category of shares held by each member; and

• confirms whether each relevant category of shares held by a member carries voting rights under the articles of association of the company, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional

• the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and

• the date on which any person ceased to be a member.

131

Table of Contents

Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members of our Company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e., the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members is deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Once our register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name.

If the name of any person is incorrectly entered in or omitted from our register of members or if there is any default or unnecessary delay in entering on the register the fact of any person having ceased to be a member of our Company, the person or member aggrieved (or any member of our Company or our Company itself) may apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for an order that the register be rectified. The Court may either refuse such application or it may, if satisfied of the justice of the case, make an order for the rectification of the register.

Differences in Corporate Law

Cayman Islands companies are governed by the Companies Act. The Companies Act is modelled on English law but does not follow recent English statutory enactments, and differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the material differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

The Companies Act permits mergers and consolidations between Cayman Islands companies and between Cayman Islands companies and non-Cayman Islands companies. For these purposes, (a) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (b) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company.

In order to effect such a merger or consolidation, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, which must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution of the shareholders of each constituent company, and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association.

The written plan of merger or consolidation must be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands together with, among other things, a declaration as to the solvency of the consolidated or surviving company, a list of the assets and liabilities of each constituent company and an undertaking that a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation will be given to the members and creditors of each constituent company and that notification of the merger or consolidation will be published in the Cayman Islands Gazette. Court approval is not required for a merger or consolidation which is effected in compliance with these statutory procedures.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a special resolution of that Cayman subsidiary if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of that Cayman subsidiary to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. For this purpose, a company is a “parent” of a subsidiary if it holds issued shares that together represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the votes at a general meeting of the subsidiary.

The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest over a constituent company is required unless this requirement is waived by a court in the Cayman Islands.

Save in certain limited circumstances, a shareholder of a Cayman constituent company who dissents from the merger or consolidation is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court) upon dissenting to the merger or consolidation, provided the dissenting shareholder complies strictly with the procedures set out in the Companies Act. The exercise of dissenter rights will preclude the exercise by the dissenting shareholder of any other rights to which he or she might otherwise be entitled by virtue of holding shares, save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

132

Table of Contents

Separate from the statutory provisions relating to mergers and consolidations, the Companies Act also contains statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction and amalgamation of companies by way of schemes of arrangement, provided that the arrangement is approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must in addition represent seventy-five per cent in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meetings, convened for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.

While a dissenting shareholder has the right to express to the court the view that the transaction ought not to be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it determines that:

• the statutory provisions as to the required majority vote have been met;

• the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question;

• the arrangement is such that may be reasonably approved by an intelligent and honest man of that class acting in respect of his interest; and

• the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act.

The Companies Act also contains a statutory power of compulsory acquisition which may facilitate the “squeeze out” of dissentient minority shareholder upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares affected within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four month period, give notice in the prescribed manner to any dissenting shareholders to require them to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer, unless an application is made by the dissenting shareholder to the Court for an order otherwise within one month from the date on which the notice was given. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but this is unlikely to succeed in the case of an offer which has been so approved unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If an arrangement and reconstruction by way of scheme of arrangement is thus approved and sanctioned, or if a tender offer is made and accepted in accordance with the foregoing statutory procedures, a dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, save that objectors to a takeover offer may apply to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for various orders that the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands has a broad discretion to make, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of Delaware corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Squeeze-out Provisions

When a take-over offer is made and accepted by holders of not less than 90% of the shares affected within four months, the offer may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four months period, give notice to require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands by a dissenting shareholder within one month from the date on which the notice was given but this is unlikely to succeed unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith or collusion.

If the arrangement and reconstruction is thus approved, the dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of United States corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares to whom the offer is made within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing on the expiration of such four months period, give notice to require the dissenting shareholders to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer, unless an application is made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands by the dissenting shareholder within one month from the date on which the notice was given.

Further, transactions similar to a merger, reconstruction and/or an amalgamation may in some circumstances be achieved through other means than these statutory provisions, such as by way of a share capital exchange, asset acquisition or control of an operating business through contractual arrangements.

Shareholders’ Suits

In principle, we will be the proper plaintiff to sue for a wrong done to us as a company and as a general rule, a derivative action may not be brought by a minority shareholder.

However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a court in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands courts can be expected (and have had occasion) to follow and apply the common law principles which laid out certain exceptions to the foregoing principle, including when:

• a company acts or proposes to act illegally or ultra vires and is therefore incapable of ratification by the shareholders;

• the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the company’s authority, could be effected only if duly authorized by more than a simple majority vote that has not been obtained; and

• those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

A shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such indemnification may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

Our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that to the extent permitted by law, we shall indemnify each existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary and any of our other officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against:

• all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of our business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and

• without limitation to paragraph (a) above, all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning us or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

No such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

This standard of conduct is generally the same as is permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation.

In addition, we will enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers that provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association upon the closing of this Offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties

Under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction.

134

Table of Contents

The duty of loyalty requires that a director acts in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally.

In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, the director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company owes three types of duties to the company: (i) statutory duties, (ii) fiduciary duties, and (iii) common law duties. The Companies Act imposes a number of statutory duties on a director. A Cayman Islands director’s fiduciary duties are not codified, however the courts of the Cayman Islands have held that a director owes the following fiduciary duties (a) a duty to act in what the director bona fide considers to be in the best interests of the company, (b) a duty to exercise their powers for the purposes they were conferred, (c) a duty to avoid fettering his or her discretion in the future and (d) a duty to avoid conflicts of interest and of duty.

The common law duties owed by a director are those to act with skill, and care and diligence that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and, also, to act with the skill, care and diligence in keeping with a standard of care commensurate with any particular skill they have which enables them to meet a higher standard than a director without those skills. It was previously considered that a director need not exhibit in the performance of his or her duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his or her knowledge and experience. However, there are indications that English and Commonwealth courts are moving towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

Under statute, our directors are subject to a number of statutory obligations, which provisions prescribe penalties for breach. The most serious of these involves dishonesty or the authorizing of illegal payments and carry both criminal and civil penalties. By way of example, material statutory provisions attracting penalties include where 1) the director willfully authorizes or permits any distribution or dividend in contravention of the Companies Act; 2) where the director knowingly or willfully authorizes or permits any payment out of capital by a company for a redemption or purchase of its own shares when the company is insolvent; 3) where there has been a failure to maintain the books of account, minutes of meetings, or the company’s statutory registers of members, beneficial ownership, mortgages and charges, or directors (which includes alternate directors); 4) where there has been a failure to provide information or access to documents to specified persons as required by the Companies Act; and 5) where the director makes or authorizes a false annual return to the Registrar of Companies.

Shareholder Action by Written Consent

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent by amendment to its certificate of incorporation. Cayman Islands law and our post-offering amended and restated articles of association provide that shareholders may approve corporate matters and adopt both the ordinary resolutions and the special resolutions by way of unanimous written resolutions signed by all of the shareholders of our Company who would have been entitled to vote on such matter at a general meeting without a meeting being held.

Shareholder Proposals

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the Board of Directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

Our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association allow any one or more shareholders where together hold shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third of the total number of votes attaching to all issued and outstanding shares of our Company entitled to vote at general meetings to requisition an extraordinary general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our board is obliged to convene an extraordinary general meeting and to put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. If the directors do not convene such meeting

135

Table of Contents

for a date not later than twenty-one clear days’ after the date of receipt of the written requisition, those shareholders who requested the meeting may convene the general meeting themselves within three months after the end of such period of twenty-one clear days in which case reasonable expenses incurred by them as a result of the directors failing to convene a meeting shall be reimbursed by us. Other than this right to requisition a shareholders’ meeting, our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not provide our shareholders with any other right to put proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings.

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders’ annual general meetings.

Cumulative Voting

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director.

There are no prohibitions in relation to cumulative voting under the Companies Act but our post-offering amended and restated articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting.

Removal of Directors

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.

Subject to the provisions of our post-incorporation amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (which include the removal of a director by ordinary resolution), the office of a director may be terminated forthwith if (a) he is prohibited by the laws of the Cayman Islands from acting as a director, (b) he is made bankrupt or makes an arrangement or composition with his creditors generally, (c) he resigns his office by notice to us, (d) he only held office as a director for a fixed term and such term expires, (e) in the opinion of a registered medical practitioner by whom he is being treated he becomes physically or mentally incapable of acting as a director, (f) he is given notice by the majority of the other directors (not being less than two in number) to vacate office (without prejudice to any claim for damages for breach of any agreement relating to the provision of the services of such director), (g) he is made subject to any law relating to mental health or incompetence, whether by court order or otherwise, or (h) without the consent of the other directors, he is absent from meetings of directors for continuous period of six months.

Transactions with Interested Shareholders

The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware public corporations whereby, unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by such statute by amendment to its certificate of incorporation, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting shares within the past three years.

This statute has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which such shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail ourselves of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although the Companies Act does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, the directors of the company are required to comply with fiduciary duties which they owe to the company under Cayman Islands law, including the duty to ensure that, in their opinion, that such transactions must be entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

136

Table of Contents

In addition, under our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, no director or his affiliates shall be prevented from transacting with the Company or held liable for any profit realized under any such transaction if such director discloses the nature of his interest.

Dissolution; Winding Up

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board.

Under the Companies Act and our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Company may be wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders, or if the winding up is initiated by our board of directors, by either a special resolution of our members or, if our company is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, by an ordinary resolution of our members. In addition, a company may be wound up by an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.

Variation of Rights of Shares

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under the Companies Act and our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, the rights attaching to any class of share (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may be varied either with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued shares of that class, or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the holders of shares of the class present in person or by proxy at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Amendment of Governing Documents

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may be amended only if adopted and declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, and the bylaws may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and may, if so provided in the certificate of incorporation, also be amended by the board of directors.

As permitted under the Companies Act and our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by special resolution of our shareholders.

Rights of Non-resident or Foreign Shareholders

Our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not limit the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. However, no person will be entitled to vote at any general meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of the Ordinary Shares unless the person is registered as of the record date for such meeting and unless all calls or other sums presently payable by the person in respect of our Ordinary Shares have been paid. In addition, our post-offering amended and restated memorandum and articles of association do not stipulate the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Inspection of Books and Records

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, any shareholder of a corporation may for any proper purpose inspect or make copies of the corporation’s stock ledger, list of shareholders and other books and records.

Anti-Money Laundering — Cayman Islands

In order to comply with legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, we are required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures and will require subscribers to provide information and evidence to verify their identity, address and source of funds. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, we may also delegate the maintenance of our anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person.

We reserve the right to request such information and evidence as is necessary to verify the identity, address and source of funds of a subscriber.

In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information or evidence required for verification purposes, we may refuse to accept the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited. We will not be liable for any loss suffered by a subscriber arising as a result of a refusal of, or delay in processing, an application from a subscriber if such information and documentation requested has not been provided by the subscriber in a timely manner.

We also reserve the right to refuse to make any redemption payment to a shareholder if our directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment of redemption proceeds to such shareholder might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure our compliance with any such laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.

If any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of their business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) a nominated officer (appointed in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering or (ii) to the Financial Reporting Authority or a police constable or a nominated officer (pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands), if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and terrorist property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

By subscribing for shares, the subscriber consents to the disclosure of any information about them to regulators and others upon request in connection with money laundering and similar matters both in the Cayman Islands and in other jurisdictions.

TAXATION

The following discussion of material Cayman Islands, PRC, and United States federal income tax consequences of an investment in our Ordinary Shares is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This discussion does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to an investment in our Ordinary Shares, such as the tax consequences under state, local, and other tax laws.

WE URGE POTENTIAL PURCHASERS OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR ORDINARY SHARES.

People’s Republic of China Taxation

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and we gain substantial income by way of dividends paid to us from the PRC subsidiaries. The EIT Law and its implementation rules provide that PRC-sourced income of foreign enterprises, such as dividends paid by a subsidiary in mainland China to its equity holders that are non-resident enterprises, will normally be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of 10%, unless any such foreign investor’s jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with China that provides for a preferential tax rate or a tax exemption.

Under the EIT Law, an enterprise established outside of China with a “de facto management body” within China is considered a “resident enterprise,” which means that it is treated in a manner similar to a PRC domestic enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes. Although the implementation rules of the EIT Law define “de facto management body” as a managing body that actually, comprehensively manage and control the production and operation, staff, accounting, property, and other aspects of an enterprise, the only official guidance for this definition currently available is set forth in SAT Circular 82, which provides guidance on the determination of the tax residence status of a PRC-controlled offshore incorporated enterprise, defined as an enterprise that is incorporated under the laws of a foreign country or territory and that has a PRC enterprise or enterprise group as its primary controlling shareholder. In spite of further to SAT Circular 82, the SAT issued the SAT Bulletin 45, which took effect in September 2011 and was amended in June 2018, but SAT Bulletin 45 only provides for procedures and administration details of determination on resident status and administration on post-determination matters, did not define “de facto management body.” Although Work Cayman does not have a PRC enterprise or enterprise group as our primary controlling shareholder and is therefore not a PRC-controlled offshore incorporated enterprise within the meaning of SAT Circular 82, in the absence of guidance specifically applicable to us, we have applied the guidance set forth in SAT Circular 82 to evaluate the tax residence status of Work Cayman and its subsidiaries organized outside of mainland China.

According to SAT Circular 82, a PRC-controlled offshore incorporated enterprise will be regarded as a PRC tax resident by virtue of having a “de facto management body” in China and will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax on its worldwide income only if all of the following criteria are met: (i) the places where senior management and senior management departments that are responsible for daily production, operation and management of the enterprise perform their duties are mainly located within the territory of mainland China; (ii) financial decisions (such as money borrowing, lending, financing and financial risk management) and personnel decisions (such as appointment, dismissal and salary and wages) are decided or need to be decided by organizations or persons located within the territory of mainland China; (iii) main property, accounting books, corporate seal, the board of directors and files of the minutes of shareholders’ meetings of the enterprise are located or preserved within the territory of mainland China; and (iv) one half (or more) of the directors or senior management staff having the right to vote habitually reside within the territory of mainland China.

We believe that we do not meet some of the conditions outlined in the immediately preceding paragraph. For example, the key assets and records of Work Cayman, including the resolutions and meeting minutes of our board of directors and the resolutions and meeting minutes of our shareholders, are located and maintained outside mainland China. In addition, we are not aware of any offshore holding companies with a corporate structure similar to ours that has been deemed a PRC “resident enterprise” by the PRC tax authorities. Accordingly, we believe that Work Cayman and its offshore subsidiary should not be treated as a “resident enterprise” for PRC tax purposes if the criteria for “de facto management body” as set forth in SAT Circular 82 were deemed applicable to us. As the tax residency status of an enterprise is subject to determination by the PRC tax authorities and uncertainties remain with respect to the interpretation of the term “de facto management body” as applicable to our offshore entities, however, we will continue to monitor our tax status.

142

Table of Contents

If the PRC tax authorities determine that Work Cayman is a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, we may be required to withhold a 10% withholding tax from any dividends we pay to our shareholders that are non- resident enterprises. In addition, non-resident enterprise shareholders may be subject to a 10% PRC withholding tax on gains realized on the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares, if such income is treated as sourced from within mainland China. It is unclear whether our non-PRC individual shareholders would be subject to any PRC tax on dividends or gains obtained by such non-PRC individual shareholders in the event we are determined to be a PRC resident enterprise. If any PRC tax were to apply to dividends or gains realized by non-PRC individuals, it would generally apply at a rate of 20% unless a reduced rate is available under an applicable tax treaty. It is also unclear, however, whether our non-PRC shareholders would be able to claim the benefits of any tax treaties between their country of tax residence and the PRC in the event that we are treated as a PRC resident enterprise. There is no guidance from the PRC government to indicate whether or not any tax treaties between mainland China and other countries would apply in circumstances where a non-PRC company was deemed to be a PRC tax resident, and thus there is no basis for expecting how tax treaty between mainland China and other countries may impact non-resident enterprises. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — We may be treated as a resident enterprise for PRC tax purposes under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, and we may therefore be subject to PRC income tax on our global income.” on page 28.

As a Cayman Islands holding company, we may receive dividends from the PRC subsidiary through offshore subsidiaries. The EIT Law and its implementing rules provide that dividends paid by a PRC entity to a non-resident enterprise for income tax purposes is subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of 10%, subject to reduction by an applicable tax treaty with China. Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion on Income, the withholding tax rate in respect to the payment of dividends by a PRC enterprise to a Hong Kong enterprise may be reduced to 5% from a standard rate of 10% if the Hong Kong enterprise directly holds at least 25% of the PRC enterprise. Pursuant to the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation on the Issues concerning the Application of the Dividend Clauses of Tax Agreements, or SAT Circular 81, a Hong Kong resident enterprise must meet the following conditions, among others, in order to apply the reduced withholding tax rate: (i) it must be a company; (ii) it must directly own the required percentage of equity interests and voting rights in the PRC resident enterprise; and (iii) it must have directly owned such required percentage in the PRC resident enterprise throughout the 12 months prior to receiving the dividends. In October 2019, the SAT promulgated the Administrative Measures for Entitlement to Treaty Benefits for Non-resident Taxpayers, or SAT Circular 35, which became effective on January 1, 2020. SAT Circular 35 provides that non-resident enterprises are not required to obtain pre-approval from the relevant tax authority in order to enjoy the reduced withholding tax. Instead, non-resident enterprises and their withholding agents may, by self-assessment and on confirmation that the prescribed criteria to enjoy the tax treaty benefits are met, directly apply the reduced withholding tax rate, and file necessary forms and supporting documents when performing tax filings, which will be subject to post-tax filing examinations by the relevant tax authorities. Accordingly, we may be able to benefit from the 5% withholding tax rate for the dividends it receives from our operating entities established in mainland China, if we satisfy the conditions prescribed under SAT Circular 82 and other relevant tax rules and regulations. However, according to SAT Circular 82 and SAT Circular 35, if the relevant tax authorities consider the transactions or arrangements we have are for the primary purpose of enjoying a favorable tax treatment, the relevant tax authorities may adjust the favorable withholding tax in the future.

Provided that Work Cayman is not deemed to be a PRC resident enterprise, holders of our Ordinary Shares who are not PRC residents will not be subject to PRC income tax on dividends distributed by us or gains realized from the sale or other disposition of our shares. However, under SAT Bulletin 7, where a non-resident enterprise conducts an “indirect transfer” by transferring taxable assets, including, in particular, equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise, indirectly by disposing of the equity interests of an overseas holding company, the non-resident enterprise, being the transferor, or the transferee or the PRC entity which directly owned such taxable assets may report to the relevant tax authority such indirect transfer. Using a “substance over form” principle, the PRC tax authority may disregard the existence of the overseas holding company if it lacks a reasonable commercial purpose and was established for the purpose of reducing, avoiding, or deferring PRC tax. As a result, gains derived from such indirect transfer may be subject to PRC enterprise income tax, and the transferee or other person who is obligated to pay for the transfer is obligated to withhold the applicable taxes, currently at a rate of 10% for the transfer of equity interests in a PRC resident enterprise. We and our non-PRC resident investors may be at risk of being required to file a return and being taxed under SAT Bulletin 7, and we may be required to expend valuable resources to comply with SAT Bulletin 7, or to establish that we should not be taxed under this Bulletin. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China — We and our shareholders face uncertainties with respect to indirect transfers of equity interests in PRC resident enterprises by their non-PRC holding companies.” on page 29.

Hong Kong Taxation

According to Tax (Amendment) (No. 3) Ordinance 2018 published by Hong Kong government, since September 1, 2018, under the two-tiered profits tax rates regime, the profits tax rate for the first HKD2 million of assessable profits has been lowered to 8.25% (half of the rate specified in Schedule 8 to the Inland Revenue Ordinance (IRO)) for corporations. Work HK was not subject to Hong Kong profit tax for any period presented as it did not have assessable profit during the periods presented.

Cayman Islands Taxation

The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains, or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or, after execution, brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. No stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on the issue of shares by, or any transfers of shares of, Cayman Islands companies (except those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands). There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our Ordinary Shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Ordinary Shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

United States Federal Income Taxation

The following does not address the tax consequences to any particular investor or to persons in special tax situations such as:

• banks;

• financial institutions;

• insurance companies;

• regulated investment companies;

• real estate investment trusts;

• broker-dealers;

• persons that elect to mark their securities to market;

• U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.;

• governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

• tax-exempt entities;

• persons liable for alternative minimum tax;

• persons holding our Ordinary Shares as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or integrated transaction;

• persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our voting power or value (including by reason of owning our Ordinary Shares);

• persons who acquired our Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation;

• persons holding our Ordinary Shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities;

• beneficiaries of a Trust holding our Ordinary Shares; or

• persons holding our Ordinary Shares through a Trust.

Table of Contents

The discussion set forth below is addressed only to U.S. Holders that purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering. Prospective purchasers are urged to consult their own tax advisors about the application of the U.S. federal income tax rules to their particular circumstances as well as the state, local, foreign, and other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of our Ordinary Shares.

Material Tax Consequences Applicable to U.S. Holders of Our Ordinary Shares

The following sets forth the material U.S. federal income tax consequences related to the ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares. It is directed to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of our Ordinary Shares and is based upon laws and relevant interpretations thereof in effect as of the date of this prospectus, all of which are subject to change. This description does not deal with all possible tax consequences relating to ownership and disposition of our Ordinary Shares or U.S. tax laws, other than the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as the tax consequences under non-U.S. tax laws, state, local, and other tax laws.

The following brief description applies only to U.S. Holders (defined below) that hold Ordinary Shares as capital assets and that have the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. This brief description is based on the federal income tax laws of the United States in effect as of the date of this prospectus and on U.S. Treasury regulations in effect or, in some cases, proposed, as of the date of this prospectus, as well as judicial and administrative interpretations thereof available on or before such date. All of the foregoing authorities are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below.

The brief description below of the U.S. federal income tax consequences to “U.S. Holders” will apply to you if you are a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares and you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust that 1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions or 2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on Our Ordinary Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, the gross amount of distributions made by us to you with respect to the Ordinary Shares (including the amount of any taxes withheld therefrom) will generally be includable in your gross income as dividend income on the date of receipt by you, but only to the extent that the distribution is paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). With respect to corporate U.S. Holders, the dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations.

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individual U.S. Holders, dividends will be taxed at the lower capital gains rate applicable to qualified dividend income, provided that (1) the Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or we are eligible for the benefits of an approved qualifying income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program, (2) we are not a PFIC for either our taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year, and (3) certain holding period requirements are met. Because there is no income tax treaty between the United States and the Cayman Islands, clause (1) above can be satisfied only if the Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Under U.S. Internal Revenue Service authority, Ordinary Shares are considered for purpose of clause (1) above to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if they are listed on certain exchanges, which presently includes the NYSE and the Nasdaq. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to our Ordinary Shares, including the effects of any change in law after the date of this prospectus.

145

Table of Contents

Dividends will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If the dividends are taxed as qualified dividend income (as discussed above), the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will be limited to the gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by the reduced rate divided by the highest rate of tax normally applicable to dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by us with respect to our Ordinary Shares will constitute “passive category income” but could, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, constitute “general category income.”

To the extent that the amount of the distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), it will be treated first as a tax-free return of your tax basis in your Ordinary Shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds your tax basis, the excess will be taxed as capital gain. We do not intend to calculate our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, a U.S. Holder should expect that a distribution will be treated as a dividend even if that distribution would otherwise be treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain under the rules described above.

Taxation of Dispositions of Ordinary Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, you will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of a share equal to the difference between the amount realized (in U.S. dollars) for the share and your tax basis (in U.S. dollars) in the Ordinary Shares. The gain or loss will be capital gain or loss. If you are a non-corporate U.S. Holder, including an individual U.S. Holder, who has held the Ordinary Shares for more than one year, you will generally be eligible for reduced tax rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss that you recognize will generally be treated as United States source income or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes which will generally limit the availability of foreign tax credits.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

A non-U.S. corporation is considered a PFIC, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, for any taxable year if either:

• at least 75% of its gross income for such taxable year is passive income; or

• at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income (the “asset test”).

Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business), and gains from the disposition of passive assets. We will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the assets and earning our proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% (by value) of the stock. In determining the value and composition of our assets for purposes of the PFIC asset test, the value of our assets must be determined based on the market value of our Ordinary Shares from time to time, which could cause the value of our non-passive assets to be less than 50% of the value of all of our assets on any particular quarterly testing date for purposes of the asset test.

Based on our operations and the composition of our assets we do not expect to be treated as a PFIC under the current PFIC rules. We must make a separate determination each year as to whether we are a PFIC, however, and there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any future taxable year. Depending on the amount of assets held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, for our current taxable year or for any subsequent taxable year, more than 50% of our assets may be assets held for the production of passive income. We will make this determination following the end of any particular tax year. In addition, because the value of our assets for purposes of the asset test will generally be determined based on the market price of our Ordinary Shares, our PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price of our Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, fluctuations in the market price of the Ordinary Shares may cause us to become a PFIC. In addition, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects and the composition of our income and assets will be affected by how, and how quickly, we spend our liquid assets. We are under no obligation to take steps to reduce the risk of our being classified as a PFIC, and as stated above, the determination of the value of our assets will depend upon material facts (including the market price of our Ordinary Shares from time to time) that may not be within our control. If we are a PFIC for any year during

146

Table of Contents

which you hold Ordinary Shares, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which you hold Ordinary Shares. If we cease to be a PFIC and you did not previously make a timely “mark-to-market” election as described below, however, you may avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime by making a “purging election” (as described below) with respect to the Ordinary Shares.

If we are a PFIC for your taxable year(s) during which you hold Ordinary Shares, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” that you receive and any gain you realize from a sale or other disposition (including a pledge) of the Ordinary Shares, unless you make a “mark-to-market” election as discussed below. Distributions you receive in a taxable year that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions you received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the Ordinary Shares will be treated as an excess distribution. under these special tax rules:

• the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the Ordinary Shares;

• the amount allocated to your current taxable year, and any amount allocated to any of your taxable year(s) prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income, and

• the amount allocated to each of your other taxable year(s) will be subject to the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

The tax liability for amounts allocated to years prior to the year of disposition or “excess distribution” cannot be offset by any net operating losses for such years, and gains (but not losses) realized on the sale of the Ordinary Shares cannot be treated as capital, even if you hold the Ordinary Shares as capital assets.

A U.S. holder of “marketable stock” (as defined below) in a PFIC may make a mark-to-market election under section 1296 of the U.S. internal revenue code for such stock to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. If you make a mark-to-market election for first taxable year which you hold (or are deemed to hold) Ordinary Shares and for which we are determined to be a PFIC, you will include in your income each year an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares as of the close of such taxable year over your adjusted basis in such Ordinary Shares, which excess will be treated as ordinary income and not capital gain. You are allowed an ordinary loss for the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of the Ordinary Shares over their fair market value as of the close of the taxable year. Such ordinary loss, however, is allowable only to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains on the Ordinary Shares included in your income for prior taxable years. Amounts included in your income under a mark-to-market election, as well as gain on the actual sale or other disposition of the Ordinary Shares, are treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the Ordinary Shares, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included for such Ordinary Shares. Your basis in the Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. If you make a valid mark-to-market election, the tax rules that apply to distributions by corporations which are not PFICs would apply to distributions by us, except that the lower applicable capital gains rate for qualified dividend income discussed above under “— taxation of dividends and other distributions on our Ordinary Shares” generally would not apply.

The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” which is stock that is traded in other than de minimis quantities on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter (“regularly traded”) on a qualified exchange or other market (as defined in applicable U.S. treasury regulations), including the Nasdaq capital market. If the Ordinary Shares are regularly traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market and if you are a holder of Ordinary Shares, the mark-to-market election would be available to you were we to be or become a PFIC.

Alternatively, a U.S. holder of stock in a PFIC may make a “qualified electing fund” election under section 1295(b) of the U.S. internal revenue code with respect to such PFIC to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. The qualified electing fund election, however, is available only if such PFIC provides such U.S. holder with certain information regarding its earnings and profits as required under applicable U.S. treasury regulations. We do not currently intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable you to make a qualified electing fund election.

If you hold Ordinary Shares in any taxable year in which we are a PFIC, you will be required to file U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 in each such year and provide certain annual information regarding such Ordinary Shares, including regarding distributions received on the Ordinary Shares and any gain realized on the disposition of the Ordinary Shares.

Table of Contents

If you do not make a timely “mark-to-market” election (as described above), and if we were a PFIC at any time during the period you hold our Ordinary Shares, then such Ordinary Shares will continue to be treated as stock of a PFIC with respect to you even if we cease to be a PFIC in a future year, unless you make a “purging election” for the year we cease to be a PFIC. A “purging election” creates a deemed sale of such Ordinary Shares at their fair market value on the last day of the last year in which we are treated as a PFIC. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, you will have a new basis (equal to the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares on the last day of the last year in which we are treated as a PFIC) and holding period (which new holding period will begin the day after such last day) in your Ordinary Shares for tax purposes.

IRC Section 1014(a) provides for a step-up in basis to the fair market value for our Ordinary Shares when inherited from a decedent that was previously a holder of our Ordinary Shares. However, if we are determined to be a PFIC and a decedent that was a U.S. holder did not make either a timely qualified electing fund election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. holder held (or was deemed to hold) our Ordinary Shares, or a mark-to-market election and ownership of those Ordinary Shares are inherited, a special provision in IRC Section 1291(e) provides that the new U.S. holder’s basis should be reduced by an amount equal to the Section 1014 basis minus the decedent’s adjusted basis just before death. As such if we are determined to be a PFIC at any time prior to a decedent’s passing, the PFIC rules will cause any new U.S. holder that inherits our Ordinary Shares from a U.S. holder to not get a step-up in basis under Section 1014 and instead will receive a carryover basis in those Ordinary Shares.

You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your investment in our Ordinary Shares and the elections discussed above.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Dividend payments with respect to our Ordinary Shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange, or redemption of our Ordinary Shares may be subject to information reporting to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and possible U.S. backup withholding under Section 3406 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code with at a current flat rate of 24%. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification on U.S. Internal Revenue Service form W-9 or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding. U.S. holders who are required to establish their exempt status generally must provide such certification on U.S. Internal Revenue Service form W-9. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the U.S. information reporting and backup withholding rules.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, and you may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and furnishing any required information. We do not intend to withhold taxes for individual shareholders. Transactions effected through certain brokers or other intermediaries, however, may be subject to withholding taxes (including backup withholding), and such brokers or intermediaries may be required by law to withhold such taxes.

Under the hiring incentives to restore employment act of 2010, certain U.S. holders are required to report information relating to our Ordinary Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Ordinary Shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a complete Internal Revenue Service Form 8938, statement of specified foreign financial assets, with their tax return for each year in which they hold Ordinary Shares.

UNDERWRITING

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of an underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus, the underwriter named below has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to it, the number of our Ordinary Shares at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discounts, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and as indicated below:

Underwriter		Number of Shares
Univest Securities, LLC

Total

The underwriter is offering the Ordinary Shares subject to their acceptance of the Ordinary Shares from us and subject to prior sale. The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriter to pay for and accept delivery of the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by its counsel and to other conditions. The underwriter is obligated to take and pay for all of the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus if any such shares are taken. However, the underwriter is not required to take or pay for the Ordinary Shares covered by the underwriter’s over-allotment option to purchase additional Ordinary Shares described below.

The underwriter will offer the Ordinary Shares to the public at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus and to selected dealers at the initial public offering price less a selling concession not in excess of US$ per share. After this offering, the initial public offering price, concession and reallowance to dealers may be reduced by the underwriter. No change in those terms will change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover of this prospectus. The securities are offered by the underwriter as stated herein, subject to receipt and acceptance by them and subject to their right to reject any order in whole or in part.

Over-Allotment Option

We have granted to the underwriter an option, exercisable for 45 days from the closing of this offering, to purchase up to 450,000 additional Ordinary Shares (equal to 15% of the Ordinary Shares initially offered by this prospectus) at the initial public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts. The option may be exercised in whole or in part, and may be exercised more than once, during the 45-day option period. The underwriter may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering contemplated by this prospectus. To the extent the option is exercised, the underwriter will become obligated to purchase the additional Ordinary Shares underlying the portion of the option that is exercised.

Discounts and Expenses

The underwriting discounts are equal to the following percentages of the initial public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus: (i) 3.5% of the gross proceeds from all investors sourced by the Company (“Company-Solicited Investors”) and (ii) 7% of the gross proceeds from all other investors.

The following table shows the per share and total initial public offering price, underwriting discounts, and proceeds before expenses to us, assuming all investors are introduced by the underwriter. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase up to an additional 450,000 Ordinary Shares.

	Per Share (US$)	Total Without Exercise of Over-allotment Option (US$)	Total With Full Exercise of Over-allotment Option (US$)
Initial public offering price(1)	$	$	$
Underwriting discounts	$	$	$
Proceeds, before expenses, to us	$	$	$

(1) Initial public offering price per share is assumed as US$4.50 per share, which is the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

Table of Contents

We will also pay to the underwriter by deduction from the net proceeds of the offering contemplated herein, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of the Ordinary Shares, including any Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option.

We have agreed to reimburse the underwriter up to a maximum of US$250,000 for out-of-pocket accountable expenses, including (i) all filing fees and communication expenses relating to the registration of the shares to be sold in this offering with the SEC and the filing of the offering materials with FINRA; (ii) all reasonable travel and lodging expenses incurred by the underwriter or its counsel in connection with visits to, and examinations of, our company; (iii) translation costs for due diligence purpose; (iv) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration or qualification of such shares under the “blue sky” securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as the underwriter may reasonably designate (including, without limitation, all filing and registration fees, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of underwriter’s counsel); (v) the costs of all mailing and printing of the placement documents, registration statements, prospectuses and all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto and as many preliminary and final prospectuses as the underwriter may reasonably deem necessary; (vi) the costs of preparing, printing and delivering certificates representing the shares and the fees and expenses of the transfer agent for such shares; and (vii) the reasonable cost for road show meetings and preparation of a power point presentation.

We paid an expense advance of $50,000 to the underwriter, for the underwriter’s anticipated out-of-pocket expenses, and any expense deposits will be returned to us to the extent the underwriter’s incurred out-of-pocket accountable expenses are less than the advance in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A).

We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding the underwriting discounts and the non-accountable expense allowance, will be approximately US$[*], including a maximum aggregate reimbursement of US$250,000 of underwriter’s accountable expenses.

Right of First Refusal

We have agreed to grant the underwriter for the twelve-month period following the closing of this offering, a right of first refusal to provide investment banking services to the Company on an exclusive basis in all matters for which investment banking services are sought by the Company. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(6)(A)(i), such right of first refusal shall not have a duration of more than three years from the commencement of sales of this offering or the termination date of the engagement between the us and the underwriter.

Lock-Up Agreements

Pursuant to certain “lock-up” agreements, our executive officers, directors and certain holders of our Ordinary Shares have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, or enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of, directly or indirectly, engage in any short selling of any Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Ordinary Shares, whether currently owned or subsequently acquired, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, for a period of six months days from the effective date of registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The lock-up period described herein will be automatically extended if: 1) during the last 17 days of the restricted period, we issue an earnings release or announce material news or a material event; or 2) prior to the expiration of the lock-up period, we announce that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the lock-up period, in which case the restrictions described in the preceding paragraph will continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the earnings release, unless the underwriter waives this extension in writing; provided, however, that this lock-up period extension shall not apply to the extent that FINRA has amended or repealed NASD Rule 2711(f)(4), or has otherwise provided written interpretive guidance regarding such rule, in each case, so as to eliminate the prohibition of any broker, dealer, or member of a national securities association from publishing or distributing any research report, with respect to the securities of an emerging growth company (as defined in the JOBS Act) prior to or after the expiration of any agreement between the broker, dealer, or member of a national securities association and the emerging growth company or its shareholders that restricts or prohibits the sale of securities held by the emerging growth company or its shareholders after the initial public offering date.

Table of Contents

No Sales of Similar Securities

We have agreed, for a period of six months from the effective date of registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to (i) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Ordinary Shares or any such other securities.

In addition, we have agreed, on behalf of the Company and any successor entity, that, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, we will not, for a period of twelve months from the commencement of the first day of trading of our Ordinary Shares, directly or indirectly in any “at-the-market” or continuous equity transaction, offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of the Ordinary Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Ordinary Shares.

Offering Price Determination

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. The initial public offering price of the shares has been negotiated between us and the underwriter. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price of the shares, in addition to the prevailing market conditions, are our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, an assessment of our management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses. The initial public offering price of our Ordinary Shares in this offering does not necessarily bear any direct relationship to the assets, operations, book or other established criteria of value of our company.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make for these liabilities.

Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our Ordinary Shares. Specifically, the underwriter may sell more shares than they are obligated to purchase under the underwriting agreement, creating a short position. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number of shares available for purchase by the underwriter under option to purchase additional shares. The underwriter can close out a covered short sale by exercising the option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out a covered short sale, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the open market price of shares compared to the price available under the option to purchase additional shares. The underwriter may also sell shares in excess of the option to purchase additional shares, creating a naked short position. The underwriter must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

The underwriter may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter or dealer repays selling concessions allowed to it for distributing our Ordinary Shares in this offering because such underwriter repurchases those shares in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Finally, the underwriter may bid for, and purchase, our Ordinary Shares in market making transactions, including “passive” market making transactions as described below.

These activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of our Ordinary Shares at a price that is higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the absence of these activities. The underwriter is not required to engage in these activities and may discontinue any of these activities at any time without notice. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.

Electronic Distribution

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the underwriter or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering and the underwriter may distribute prospectuses electronically. The underwriter may agree to allocate a number of Ordinary Shares to selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. The Ordinary Shares to be sold pursuant to internet distributions will be allocated on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us or the underwriter, and should not be relied upon by investors.

Listing

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Ordinary Shares. We have applied to list our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “WOK.” This offering is contingent upon us listing our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market or another national exchange. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in listing our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Other Relationships

The underwriter and certain of its affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriter and certain of its affiliates may in the future engage in investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us and our affiliates, for which they may in the future receive customary fees, commissions and expenses.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriter and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Passive Market Making

Any underwriter who is a qualified market maker on Nasdaq may engage in passive market making transactions on Nasdaq, in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as a passive market maker. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security. If all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

Selling Restrictions

No action may be taken in any jurisdiction other than the United States that would permit a public offering of the shares or the possession, circulation or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, the Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

In addition to the public offering of the Ordinary Shares in the United States, the underwriter may, subject to applicable foreign laws, also offer the Ordinary Shares in certain countries.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Work Medical Technology Group Ltd

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Work Medical Technology Group Ltd and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive (loss) income, changes in equity, and cash flows in each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows in each of the years in the two-year period ended September 30, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021

(In U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

WORK Medical Technology Group LTD (the “Company”, “Work Cayman” or “WORK”) was incorporated under the law of the Cayman Islands on March 1, 2022 as an exempted company with limited liability. The Company, together with its subsidiaries, is engaged in manufacturing and selling medical consumables through its wholly owned subsidiaries in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”).

History of the Group and Reorganization

The Company conducts its operations through its PRC subsidiary Hangzhou Shanyou Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Shanyou”) and its subsidiaries, since 2002.

In preparation for its initial public offering, the Group completed a reorganization on May 6, 2022 (the “Reorganization”), which involved the following steps:

• on November 10, 2021, Work (Hangzhou) Medical Treatment Technology Co., Ltd. (“Work Hangzhou”) was established by Baiming Yu and his spouse, Liwei Zhang, who were the ultimate shareholders of Work Hangzhou;

• on January 17, 2022, Hangzhou Shanyou newly issued 95% of equity interest to Work Hangzhou. The remaining shareholders of Hangzhou Shanyou are Baiming Yu, with 3.35% of equity interest, and Liwei Zhang, with 1.65% of equity interest;

• on March 1, 2022, Work Cayman was incorporated and (indirectly) issued Ordinary Shares at par value $1.00 per share to certain founding shareholders. Baiming Yu (“LWY GROUP LTD”) and Liwei Zhang (“ZLW GROUP LTD”), who, following transfer of the initial one subscriber share from Tricor Services (Cayman Islands) Limited to LWY GROUP LTD, indirectly held a 50% and 5% equity interest of Work Cayman, respectively. Certain third parties, as strategic investors, acquired 45% equity shares of the PRC subsidiaries at fair value from Baiming Yu and Liwei Zhang. In exchange, Work Cayman issued the remainder of its 45% Ordinary Shares at par value $1.00 per share to these strategic investors on the day of its incorporation.

• on March 15, 2022, Work Medical Technology Group Limited (“Work BVI”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company;

• on April 19, 2022, Work Medical Technology Group (China) Limited (“Work Medical Technology” or “Work HK”) was incorporated in Hong Kong as a wholly owned subsidiary of Work BVI;

• on April 28, 2022, Work Age (Hangzhou) Medical Treatment Technology Co., Ltd. (“WFOE” or “Work Age”) was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of Work HK in the PRC; and

• on May 6, 2022, WFOE acquired 100% equity interest of Work Hangzhou.

On February 21, 2022, Hangzhou Shanyou entered into a share purchase agreement to purchase 60% equity shares of Hangzhou Hanshi Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Hangzhou Hanshi”) from Baiming Yu. Since both Hangzhou Shanyou and Hangzhou Hanshi are under the common control immediately before and after the merger, this transaction was accounted for as a common control merger, and using merger accounting as if the Reorganization had been consummated at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and no gain or loss is recognized. All the assets and liabilities of Hangzhou Hanshi are recorded at carrying value.

Immediately before and after share issuances and transfer of Work Cayman, Work Hangzhou acquired Hangzhou Shanyou, and WFOE acquired Work Hangzhou. The ultimate shareholders in these entities, who are Baiming Yu and his spouse, Liwei Zhang, did not change. Accordingly, the Reorganization has been treated as a corporate restructuring of entities under common control. Thus, the current capital structure has been retroactively presented in prior periods as if such structure existed at that time, and the entities are presented on a combined basis for all periods to which such

entities were under common control. Thus, the results of these subsidiaries are included in the financial statements for both years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The discussion and presentation of financial statements herein assumes the completion of the Reorganization, which is accounted for retroactively as if it occurred on October 1, 2019, and the equity has been restated to reflect the change, as well.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. For consolidated subsidiaries where the Group’s ownership in the subsidiary is less than 100%, the equity interest not held by the Group is shown as noncontrolling interests.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenue and expenses during the reported periods in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates include, but not limited to, the allowance for receivable, useful lives of property, plant and equipment

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

and intangible assets, inventories write-downs and the recoverability of long-lived assets. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand. The Group’s demand deposits are held at financial institutions, which have original maturities of less than three months and are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. Deposits at financial institutions in mainland China and Hong Kong are not FDIC insured, however, those financial institutions are highly solvent and the risk of loss is remote.

(d) Restricted cash

Cash that is deposited in the bank but restricted for a specific purpose and therefore not available for immediate and general use by the Group is classified as restricted cash, which is presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2022, restricted cash represented cash preserved for the litigation as disclosed in the notes to the accompanying financial statements.

(e) Leases

On October 1, 2021, the Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Lease (FASB ASC Topic 842). The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the presentation of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Group has elected the package of practical expedients, which allows the Group not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date; and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date. Lastly, the Group elected the short-term lease exemption for all contracts with lease terms of 12 months or less.

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Group assess whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset.

The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Group recognizes operating lease expenses for lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Operating lease right-of-use of assets

The right-of-use of asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and less any lease incentive received.

Lease liabilities

Lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed lease payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and any exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 AND 2021

(In U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if there is any change in the Group assessment of option purchases, contract extensions or termination options.

(f) Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable are stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivable.

The Group reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. The Group considers factors in assessing the collectability of its receivables, such as historical bad debts, changes in customers’ payment patterns, credit-worthiness and financial condition of the customers, current economic trends and other specific circumstances related to the accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted.

(g) Inventories

Inventories, primarily consisting of the raw materials purchased by the Group for the production of medical consumables, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventory is determined using weighted-average method. Where there is evidence that the utility of inventories, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes, the inventories are written down to net realizable value.

(h) Advance to suppliers

Advances to suppliers refer to advances for purchase of materials or other service agreements, which are applied against accounts payable when the materials or services are received. The Group reviews a supplier’s credit history and background information before advancing a payment. If the financial condition of its suppliers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to deliver goods or provide services, the Group would provide allowance for such amount in the period when it is considered impaired. Advances to suppliers as of September 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily consisted of prepayments for purchasing medical consumables.

(i) Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment, except mask production machine, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any, and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Mask production machine is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any, and depreciated on a double declining balance method over 5 years. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its intended use. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Category		Estimated useful lives
Property and buildings		10 – 20 years
Machinery and equipment		3 – 10 years
Leasehold improvement		Lesser of useful life and lease term
Vehicle		4 – 5 years
Office and electric equipment		3 – 5 years

(In U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expenses as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the costs, accumulated depreciation and impairment with any resulting gain or loss recognized in the consolidated statements of income.

(j) Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are non-monetary assets without physical substance. These items are initially measured at cost and subsequently carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is as follows:

Category		Estimated useful lives
Land use rights		36 years
Patent		1 – 10 years

(k) Impairment of long-lived assets

The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows.

(l) Fair value measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

• Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects management’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by management based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(m) Revenue recognition

On October 1, 2019, the Group adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 using the modified retrospective approach.

The core principle of the new revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:

Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

Step 3: Determine the transaction price

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation

These criteria as they relate to each of the following major revenue generating activities are described below. Revenue is presented net of value added taxes (“VAT”) and surcharges. VAT tax to be collected from customers, net of VAT paid for purchases, is recorded as a liability in the consolidated balance sheets until it is paid to the tax authorities.

Revenue from sales of self-manufactured masks and medical devices other than masks

The Group sells products to different distributor customers and direct-end user customers, primarily of sales of self-manufactured masks and medical devices other than masks. The Group does not accept returns of products or offer refunds for its customers after the expiration of quality objection periods. The Group usually offers a seven-day quality objection period and any quality deficiencies are determined by the testing of a third-party institution.

The Group grants credit sales for customers and the credit period varies among different customers. The Group normally grants the customers 30 to 180 days to complete their payments after the credit sales, and the length of the credit period is dependent on the customer’s creditworthiness and its transaction experience with the Group. The Group makes its judgment taking all of the facts and circumstances into account, including the PRC subsidiary’s customary business practices and the knowledge of the customer, in determining whether it is probable that the PRC subsidiary will collect substantially all of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that the PRC subsidiary expects to transfer to the customer.

Control of a product is transferred to a distributor customer or direct-end user customer upon delivery of the product to the designated place. The revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Group satisfies the performance obligation by transferring the promised product to distributor customers or direct-end user customers upon acceptance by them. The Group presents the revenue generated from its sales of products on a gross basis as the Group acts as a principal.

Revenue from commodity trading

Revenue from commodity trading is recognized on a net basis as the Group arranges the provision of products through third parties and does not control the specified products provided by the third parties before that products are transferred to the customers, and therefore, the Group acts as an agent. The revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Group satisfies performance obligations by arranging the transfer of a promised product to a customer and measured at fixed consideration which is determined as the difference between the sales price that the Group expects to receive in exchange for arranging promised products to the customer and the settlement price with the third-party suppliers.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Contract balances

Payment terms are established on the Group’s pre-established credit requirements based upon an evaluation of customers’ credit. Contract assets are recognized for in related accounts receivable.

The contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which represents the billings or cash received for services in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as revenue when all the Group’s revenue recognition criteria are met. The Group’s deferred revenue was $744,107 and $1,585,672 as of September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Other than accounts receivable and deferred revenue, the Group had no other material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on its consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Contract costs

For the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Group did not have any significant incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers incurred and/or costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers within the scope of ASC Topic 606, that shall be recognized as an asset and amortized to expenses in a pattern that matches the timing of the revenue recognition of the related contract.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(n) Government subsidies

Government subsidies are recognized as other income when received and all the conditions for their receipt have been met. The government subsidies were paid by cash and have no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for the Group to enjoy the benefits.

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company received government subsidies of $1,186,641 and $3,752,002, respectively.

(o) Costs of revenue

Cost of revenue mainly comprised of raw material costs, depreciation, labor cost, and other overhead expenses as well as inventories write-down.

(p) Income taxes

The Group accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

The provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” prescribe a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and related disclosures. The Group’s operating subsidiaries in the PRC are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax and other relevant laws and regulations, the statute of limitations is three years if the underpayment of taxes is due to computational errors made by the taxpayer or the withholding agent. The statute of limitations is extended to five years under special circumstances, where the underpayment of taxes is more than RMB100,000 ($15,368). In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is ten years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred.

The Group did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes line of its consolidated statements of income for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Group does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months.

(q) Value added tax (“VAT”)

The Group is subject to VAT and related surcharges on revenue generated from sales of products, facilitation services and platform services. The Group records revenue net of VAT. This VAT may be offset by qualified input VAT. Net VAT balance between input VAT and output VAT is recorded in the line item of other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

(In U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The VAT rate is 13% for taxpayers selling consumer products, and 16% prior to September 1, 2021.

(r) Non-controlling Interest

A non-controlling interest in a subsidiary of the Group represents the portion of the equity (net assets) in the subsidiary not directly or indirectly attributable to the Group. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate component of equity on the consolidated balance sheets, and net income and other comprehensive income attributable to non-controlling shareholders are presented as a separate component on the consolidated statements of operations.

(s) Foreign currency transactions and translations

The Group’s principal country of operations is the PRC. The financial position and results of its operations are determined using RMB, the local currency, as the functional currency. The Group’s financial statements are reported using U.S. Dollars (“$”). The results of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows denominated in foreign currency are translated at the average rate of exchange during the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. The equity denominated in the functional currency is translated at the historical rate of exchange at the time of capital contribution. Because cash flows are translated based on the average translation rate, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in consolidated statements of changes in equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the results of operations.

The value of RMB against $ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of RMB may materially affect the Group’s financial condition in terms of $ reporting. The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the consolidated financial statements:

	As of September 30,
	2022	2021
Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts	7.1135	6.4434

	For the Years Ended September 30,
	2022	2021
Items in the statements of income and comprehensive income, and statements of cash flows	6.5532	6.5072

No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at the rates used in translation.

(t) Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in RMB to USD is reported in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

(In U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(u) Earnings per share

Earnings per Ordinary Share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per Ordinary Share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per Ordinary Share is computed in accordance with the treasury stock method and based on the weighted average number of Ordinary Shares and dilutive Ordinary Share equivalents. Dilutive Ordinary Share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per Ordinary Share if their effects would be anti-dilutive. There is no Ordinary Share equivalent issued to date.

(v) Segment reporting

The Group uses the management approach in determining its operating segments. The Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) identified as the Group’s Chief Executive Officer, relies upon the consolidated results of operations as a whole when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Group. As a result of the assessment made by CODM, the Group has only one reportable segment. The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. As substantially all of the Group’s long-lived assets are located in the PRC, no geographical segments are presented.

(w) Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

(x) Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGC can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses,” which will require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, to clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are within the scope of lease accounting standards. Further, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11 and ASU 2020-02 to provide additional guidance on the credit losses standard.

For all other entities, the amendments for ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the ASUs is on a modified retrospective basis. The Group will adopt ASU 2016-13 from October 1, 2023. The Group is in the process of evaluating the effect of the adoption of this ASU.

Other accounting standards that have been issued by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Group does not discuss recent standards that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our amended and restated articles of association, which will become effective upon or before completion of this offering, provide that, to the extent permitted by law, we shall indemnify each existing or former secretary, director (including alternate director), and any of our other officers (including an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives against:

(a) all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in or about the conduct of our business or affairs or in the execution or discharge of the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary’s or officer’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions; and

(b) without limitation to paragraph (a) above, all costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by the existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending or completed) concerning us or our affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

No such existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his own dishonesty.

To the extent permitted by law, we may make a payment, or agree to make a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by an existing or former director (including alternate director), secretary or any of our officers in respect of any matter identified in above on condition that the director (including alternate director), secretary or officer must repay the amount paid by us to the extent that it is ultimately found not liable to indemnify the director (including alternate director), the secretary or that officer for those legal costs.

Pursuant to our offer letters to directors and employment agreements with executive officers, we will agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or executive officer.

The form of underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement will also provide for indemnification of us and our officers and directors.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 7. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

During the past three years, we have issued and sold the securities described below without registering the securities under the Securities Act. We believe that each of the following issuances was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Regulation D under the Securities Act or pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act regarding transactions not involving a public offering or in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act regarding sales by an issuer in offshore transactions.

ITEM 8. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES.

a) Exhibits

See Exhibit Index beginning on page II-6 of this registration statement.

The agreements included as exhibits to this registration statement contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and (i) were not intended to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate; (ii) may have been qualified in such agreement by disclosure that was made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement; (iii) may apply contract standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under the applicable securities laws; and (iv) were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement.

We acknowledge that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, we are responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosure of material information regarding material contractual provisions is required to make the statements in this registration statement not misleading.

b) Financial Statement Schedules

Schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in our consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(4) For the purpose of determining any liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
