 a reliable and attentive corporate finance service provider, ability to develop our business scale, and potential competition from our competitors. There is no assurance that we will sustain profitability or positive cash flow from our existing operations or from any expanded or new operations, nor that we will be able, upon the completion of the offering, to expand operations beyond our current level.

We face fierce competition in the corporate finance services industry in Hong Kong and may lose our competitive edge to our competitors.

There is a significant number of existing market participants in the corporate finance services industry in Hong Kong providing services similar to ours. Our larger competitors may have advantages over us such as having better brand recognition and reputation in the market, wider range of value-adding services, stronger human and financial resources, longer operating histories, and operational presence in more geographic locations. We also face competition from local medium and small-sized sponsors which offer similar range of services. New participants may enter into the market insofar as they have engaged appropriate qualified professionals and obtained the requisite regulatory licenses and permits. Given the keen competition, we cannot assure that we will be able to maintain our competitive edge in response to the fast-changing business environment. In addition, competition creates an unfavorable pricing environment in the market in which we operate. Intensified competition may cause us to reduce our service fees or commission rates in order to compete with other market players, which could place significant pressure on our ability to maintain gross margins and is particularly acute during market slowdowns, and will in turn materially and adversely affect our market share, financial condition and results of operations.

We are affected by the rules and regulations governing listed companies on the Stock Exchange.

We provide corporate finance advisory services to clients who are listing applicants or listed companies or their shareholders or investors on the Stock Exchange. These clients are required to comply with the Listing Rules, the GEM Listing Rules, the Takeovers Code and other rules and regulations where applicable. Any changes to such rules and regulations, particularly those affecting the appointment and the role of sponsor in listing applications and the appointment and the role of financial adviser in specific transactions, may affect the demand for and the scope of our corporate finance advisory services which may in turn materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Failure to comply with regulatory capital requirements set by local regulatory authorities could materially and negatively affect our business operations and overall performance.

Our regulated operating subsidiary is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including minimum capital requirements, established by competent authorities in their respective jurisdiction. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by
