 were to be required to comply with cybersecurity, data protection, or any other related PRC laws and regulations and were found to be noncompliant with such laws and regulations.

We and our subsidiaries may be subject to certain cybersecurity, data protection, and other PRC laws and regulations related to data, including those relating to the collection, use, sharing, retention, security, disclosure, and transfer of confidential and private information, such as personal information and other data. These laws and regulations apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of information within our organization. These laws and regulations may restrict the administrative support activities of Bitmatrix and require us and our subsidiaries to incur costs and efforts to comply, and any breach or noncompliance may subject us and our subsidiary to proceedings against such entity(ies), damage our reputation, or result in penalties and other significant legal liabilities, and thus may materially and adversely affect the business of our subsidiaries, and our financial condition and results of operations.

Therefore, we believe that the Data Security Law is not applicable to us and our subsidiaries.
