We face risks arising from the legal system in China including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice. The Chinese government may intervene or influence the operating subsidiaries' operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in the operating subsidiaries' operations and/or the value of our Class A ordinary shares. Any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer our securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries must conduct their business activities and may intervene or influence their operations at any time, which could result in a material change in their operations and the value of our Class A ordinary shares."

We believe that each of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries has all requisite permissions or approvals to conduct its business in the manner presently conducted and described in this annual report. Other than the licenses and approvals disclosed in this annual report that our Mainland PRC subsidiaries have obtained for a domestic company in China to engage in the similar businesses, as of the date of this annual report, neither we nor any of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries is required to obtain any permission from any PRC authorities, including, but not limited to, the Cyberspace Administration of China, to conduct its operations. Additionally, the operation of ASL, our Hong Kong subsidiary, being the online retail of toner cartridge products, does not require any permission or approval from the Chinese authorities, including Mainland PRC authorities and Hong Kong local authorities. If we do not receive or maintain the approvals, or we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change such that we are required to obtain approval in the future, we may be subject to an investigation by competent regulators, fines or penalties, ordered to suspend our relevant business and rectify, prohibited from engaging in relevant business, and these risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the "CSRC") released Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (hereinafter referred to as the "Administration Measures", which came into force on March 31, 2023), five supporting guidelines, as well as Notice on Filing Management Arrangements for Overseas Listings of Domestic Enterprises (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). According to the Administration Measures and the Notice, overseas offering and listing refers to overseas offerings by domestic companies of equity shares, depository receipts, convertible corporate bonds, or other equity-like securities, and overseas listing of the securities for trading. Overseas offering and listing, which is specifically divided into direct overseas offerings and listing and indirect overseas offerings and listing, shall be filed in accordance with the Administration Measures. According to the Notice, the domestic companies that have submitted valid applications for overseas issuance and listing but have not been approved by overseas regulatory authorities or overseas stock exchanges at the date of effectiveness of the Administration Measures can reasonably arrange the timing of filing applications and should complete the filing before the overseas issuance and listing. On September 25, 2023, we received CSRC's approval of our initial public offering under the Administration Measures. Since January 25, 2024, our Class A ordinary shares have been listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"). In the future, in the event that we conduct any subsequent offerings, we could be subject to filing requirements with the CSRC. In such event, if our filing procedures are not completed according to the Administration Measures or if our filing materials contain false records, misleading statements or material omissions, the CSRC may order rectify such non-compliance, issue a warning, and impose a fine of not less than RMB1 million and not more than RMB10 million. These risks could completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, Ministry of Finance of the PRC, National Administration of State Secrets Protection and National Archives Administration of China jointly issued the Provisions on Strengthening the Confidentiality and Archive Management Work Relating to the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing, or the Confidentiality Provisions, which came into effect on March 31, 2023 with the Administrative Measures. The Confidentiality Provisions require that, among other things, (a) 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; and (b) domestic company that plans to, either directly or through its overseas listed entity, publicly disclose or provide to relevant individuals and entities including securities companies, securities service providers and overseas regulators, any other documents and materials that, if leaked, will be detrimental to national security or public interest, shall strictly fulfill relevant procedures stipulated by applicable national regulations. Any failure or perceived failure by the company or its PRC subsidiary to comply with the above confidentiality and archives administration requirements under the Confidentiality Provisions, and other PRC laws and regulations may result in the relevant entities being held legally liable by competent authorities, and referred to the judicial organ to be investigated for criminal liability if suspected of committing a crime.

For details on the above-mentioned matters, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries must conduct their business activities and may intervene or influence their operations at any time, which could result in a material change in their operations and the value of our Class A ordinary shares." Other than the filing requirement under the Administrative Measures, we, our Mainland PRC subsidiaries, and our Hong Kong subsidiaries are not required to obtain any permission or approval from the Chinese authorities under current PRC laws and regulations for the offering of securities to foreign investors.

The legal and operational risks associated with operating in Mainland China also apply to our operations in Hong Kong, including that the PRC government has significant authority to intervene or influence our Hong Kong subsidiaries at any time, which could result in a material adverse change to our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations, and the value of our securities. Hong Kong was established as a special administrative region of the PRC in accordance with Article 31 of the Constitution of the PRC. Pursuant to the Basic Law, which 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, 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). Further, according to Article 5 of the Basic Law, the capitalist system and the way of life in Hong Kong shall remain unchanged for 50 years since the handover on July 1, 1997. However, there is no assurance that there will not be any changes in the economic, political, and legal environment in Hong Kong in the future. If there is a significant change to current political arrangements between Mainland China and Hong Kong, or the applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change, our Hong Kong subsidiaries may become subject to PRC laws or authorities. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — We may be subject to uncertainty about any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong, and it is possible that most of the legal and operational risks associated with operating in Mainland PRC may also apply to operations in Hong Kong in the future" and "— Our operations in Hong Kong are governed by the laws and regulations in Hong Kong. If there is significant change to current political arrangements between Mainland China and Hong Kong, the PRC government may intervene or influence our Hong Kong operations, which could result in a material change in our operations in Hong Kong."

In addition, trading in our securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, if the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, determines that it cannot inspect the workpapers prepared by our auditor for two consecutive years, and that as a result an exchange may determine to delist our securities. 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, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and reduced the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act from three years to two. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report on its determination that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and in Hong Kong because of positions taken by Mainland PRC and Hong Kong authorities in those jurisdictions. 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. Our securities may be delisted or prohibited from trading if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor under the HFCAA.

Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this annual report, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the U.S. and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the U.S., pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor, HTL International, LLC, is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and is subject to inspection by the PCAOB. It has not been inspected since it was registered with the PCAOB in 2023. Additionally, our auditor is not subject to the determination announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — Our Class A ordinary shares may be delisted and prohibited from being traded under the HFCAA if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors. The delisting and the cessation of trading of our Class A ordinary shares, or the threat of their being delisted and prohibited from being traded, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment."

**Recent Development**

On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into agreements for the sale of ten (10) wholly-owned subsidiary companies, which operated online stores in connection with the Company's overseas B2C business, to an independent third party (the "Purchaser"), as part of a strategic restructuring to streamline operations and optimize its business portfolio. The subsidiary companies sold include entities incorporated in Hong Kong, the State of Delaware in the U.S., and the Netherlands, for an aggregate consideration of US$100,000. In addition, the Company entered into trademark transfer agreements for the sale of the ACCESS trademark portfolio (registered in United States) and two ASTER trademark portfolios (registered in Netherlands and United States) for an aggregate consideration of US$50,000. The total aggregate consideration for all subsidiary companies and trademark portfolios (the "Disposition") is US$150,000. The transactions were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company through written resolutions dated December 30, 2025, and the consideration for each subsidiary and trademark portfolio has been paid in cash by the Purchaser and received by the Company. The sale of the subsidiary companies includes the transfer of all issued and outstanding shares in each respective subsidiary to the Purchaser, free and clear of all liens, charges, and encumbrances. As of the date of this annual report, the equity interests in nine (9) of the ten (10) subsidiary companies have been transferred to the Purchaser. The transfer of equity interests in Proimage B.V., a company incorporated in the Netherlands, is currently in process; however, the operational control and management rights of Proimage B.V. have been transferred to the Purchaser. Following the Disposition, the Company continues to operate one (1) online store on the Walmart platform, through which it sells self-branded product inventory manufactured and household products purchased prior to the Disposition. Upon the sale of all remaining inventory, such online store will cease operations. The Company does not expect the Disposition to have a material adverse impact on its ongoing business operations.

***Restrictions and Limitations on Cash Transfers and Dividend and Other Distributions***

 

*From our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to their parent companies*

Current PRC regulations permit our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to their respective shareholders only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Mainland PRC accounting standards and regulations. A Mainland PRC subsidiary of ours is required to set aside 10% of its after-tax profits to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50% of its registered capital if it distributes its after-tax profits for the current financial year. For details, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risk Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us and any tax we are required to pay could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business." In addition, cash transfers from our Cayman Islands holding company are subject to applicable Mainland PRC laws and regulations on loans and direct investment. For details, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risk Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — PRC regulations of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to Mainland PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore financing to make loans or additional capital contributions to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business."

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. Although we receive a significant portion of our revenues in U.S. dollars, under our current corporate structure, we may still rely on dividend payments from our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to fund any additional cash and financing requirements we may have. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval of State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of Mainland China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, we need to obtain SAFE approval to use cash generated from the operations of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to pay off their respective debt in a currency other than Renminbi owed to entities outside China, or to make other capital expenditure payments outside Mainland China in a currency other than Renminbi. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign currency demands, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders, including holders of our Class A ordinary shares. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risk Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — Restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of Mainland China and government control of currency conversion may limit our ability to pay dividends and other obligations, and affect the value of your investment."

 

*From our Cayman Islands holding company to U.S. investors* 

Our Cayman Islands holding company will be able to pay dividends and make other distributions to its shareholders, including U.S. investors, provided that it (i) has either sufficient profits or retained profits, when the dividend is to be declared and paid from profits, or sufficient share premium and satisfies the solvency test as defined under the Companies Act, when the dividend is to be paid from share premium, and (ii) complies with the provisions in our Cayman Islands holding company's memorandum and articles of association then in effect.

Our Cayman Islands holding company has not declared or paid dividends or made distributions to its subsidiaries or to investors in the past, nor have any dividends or distributions been made by a subsidiary to the Cayman Islands holding company. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to distribute dividends, subject to applicable laws. We do not have any current plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our Class A ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Class A Ordinary Shares and the Trading Market — We currently do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and you must rely on price appreciation of our Class A ordinary shares for return on your investment."

U.S. investors will not be subject to Cayman Islands, Mainland PRC, or Hong Kong taxation on dividend distributions, and no withholding will be required on the payment of dividends or distributions to them, while they may be subject to U.S. federal income tax for receiving dividends, 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. See "Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences."

 

*From our Cayman Islands holding company to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries*

Cash transfers from our Cayman Islands holding company are subject to applicable Mainland PRC laws and regulations on loans and direct investment. We may transfer funds to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries or finance our Mainland PRC subsidiaries by means of shareholders' loans or capital contributions. Any loans to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries, which are foreign-invested enterprises, cannot exceed a statutory limit, and shall be filed with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, or its local counterparts. Furthermore, any capital contributions we make to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries shall be registered with the PRC State Administration for Market Regulation or its local counterparts, and filed with the Ministry of Commerce ("MOFCOM") or its local counterparts. On March 30, 2015, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Reforming the Administration Measures on Conversion of Foreign Exchange Registered Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19. SAFE Circular 19, however, allows foreign invested enterprises in Mainland China to use their registered capital settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies to make equity investments, but the registered capital of a foreign invested company settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies remains not allowed to be used, among other things, for investment in the security markets, or offering entrustment loans, unless otherwise regulated by other laws and regulations. On June 9, 2016, SAFE further issued the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital Accounts, or SAFE Circular 16, which, among other things, amended certain provisions of Circular 19. According to SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16, the flow and use of the RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign invested company is regulated such that Renminbi capital may not be used for purposes beyond its business scope or to provide loans to non-affiliates unless otherwise permitted under its business scope. On October 23, 2019, SAFE promulgated the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Promoting the Facilitation of Cross-Border Trade and Investment, or SAFE Circular 28, which removes the restrictions on domestic equity investments by non-investment foreign-invested enterprises with their capital funds, provided that certain conditions are met. The applicable foreign exchange circulars and rules may limit our ability to transfer the net proceeds from our securities offerings to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries and convert the net proceeds into RMB, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — PRC regulations of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to Mainland PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore financing to make loans or additional capital contributions to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business."

*From our Hong Kong PRC subsidiaries to their parent companies*

Other than Mainland China, operating subsidiaries formed in Hong Kong contributed a material amount of our revenues in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024. The following are descriptions of the restrictions and limitations on our subsidiaries formed in Hong Kong to distribute earnings to the parent company and U.S. investors.

 

*Hong Kong.* For our Hong Kong subsidiaries to distribute earnings outside Hong Kong, certain daily remittance limits will be imposed by Hong Kong laws and processing banks. Additionally, such remittances should not be used for money laundering or terrorist financing purposes. Registered institutes, such as banks, have their own internal policies, procedures and controls in the relevant operational areas so as to meet their anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism statutory and regulatory requirements and guard against money laundering and terrorist financing.

In the event of distributions, our operating subsidiaries will first distribute to their British Virgin Islands parent companies, which may in turn distribute to our Cayman Islands holding company. In the British Virgin Islands, dividends and distributions are governed by Sections 56 to 58 of the BVI Business Companies Act, which provides that subject to the memorandum and articles of a company, the company's directors may authorize a distribution to members if in the opinion of the directors, the company will satisfy the solvency test immediately after the distribution. A company satisfies the solvency test if the value of the company's assets exceeds its liabilities, and the company is able to pay its debts as they fall due.

Other than the legal and regulatory restrictions as described above, cash and capital contributions may be transferred among our Cayman Islands holding company and our subsidiaries.

**Summary of Risk Factors**

Investing in our securities involves significant risks. You should carefully consider all of the information in this annual report before investing in our securities. Below is a summary of the principal risks we face. These risks are discussed more fully under "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors."

***Risks Relating to the Business and Industry of the Operating Subsidiaries (for a more detailed discussion, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Business and Industry of the Operating Subsidiaries")***

Risks and uncertainties related to the business and industry of the operating subsidiaries include, but are not limited to, the following:

● if the products of the operating subsidiaries fail to meet the demands of their customers or to reflect the latest developments in the printer industry, the operating subsidiaries may be unable to retain existing customers or attract new customers, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. (see page 9 of this annual report);

● the operating subsidiaries may be exposed to risks of obsolete inventories because technological upgrades by the original-brand printer manufacturers render their toner cartridge products obsolete or due to their failure to manage inventories efficiently. If this occurs, the operating subsidiaries may incur losses for their research and development expenses, production costs and marketing expenses relating to such obsolete inventories (see page 10 of this annual report);

● the operating subsidiaries may not be able to maintain or increase the selling prices of their products (see page 11 of this annual report);

● raw material purchase prices are subject to fluctuation and the operating subsidiaries could face shortage in supply of their raw materials (see page 11 of this annual report);

● the business of the operating subsidiaries relies significantly on export sales which may be adversely affected by present or future export regulations or enforcement (see page 12 of this annual report); and

● the operating subsidiaries may fail to maintain an effective quality control system and may be subject to claims by their customers in respect of product quality and compliance with relevant health and safety standards (see page 15 of this annual report).

 ****

***Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC (for a more detailed discussion, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC")***

A significant portion of our business is conducted in mainland China through the operating subsidiaries, and therefore, we face risks and uncertainties relating to doing business in the PRC in general, including, but not limited to, the following:

● adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could adversely affect our business (see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — Adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could adversely affect our business" on page 23 of this annual report);

● changes to the PRC legal system could have an adverse effect on us (see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — Changes to the PRC legal system could have an adverse effect on us" on page 23 of this annual report);

● the Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries must conduct their business activities and may intervene or influence their operations at any time, which could result in a material change in their operations and the value of our Class A ordinary shares (see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries must conduct their business activities and may intervene or influence their operations at any time, which could result in a material change in their operations and the value of our Class A ordinary shares" on page 23 of this annual report);

● we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us and any tax we are required to pay could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business (see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us and any tax we are required to pay could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business" on page 25 of this annual report);

● PRC regulations of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to Mainland PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore financing to make loans or additional capital contributions to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business (see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — PRC regulations of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to Mainland PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore financing to make loans or additional capital contributions to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business" on page 26 of this annual report);

● if we are classified as a Mainland PRC resident enterprise for Mainland PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-Mainland PRC shareholders (see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — If we are classified as a Mainland PRC resident enterprise for Mainland PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-Mainland PRC shareholders" on page 30 of this annual report);

● we may be subject to uncertainty about any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong, and it is possible that most of the legal and operational risks associated with operating in Mainland PRC may also apply to operations in Hong Kong in the future (see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — We may be subject to uncertainty about any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong, and it is possible that most of the legal and operational risks associated with operating in Mainland PRC may also apply to operations in Hong Kong in the future" on page 31 of this annual report);

● our operations in Hong Kong are governed by the laws and regulations in Hong Kong. If there is significant change to current political arrangements between Mainland China and Hong Kong, the PRC government may intervene or influence our Hong Kong operations, which could result in a material change in our operations in Hong Kong (see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — Our operations in Hong Kong are governed by the laws and regulations in Hong Kong. If there is significant change to current political arrangements between Mainland China and Hong Kong, the PRC government may intervene or influence our Hong Kong operations, which could result in a material change in our operations in Hong Kong" on page 31 of this annual report); and

● to the extent cash in the business is in the PRC, the funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our Company or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash (see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — To the extent cash in the business is in the PRC, the funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our Company or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash" on page 32 of this annual report).

***Risks Relating to Our Class A Ordinary Shares and the Trading Market (for a more detailed discussion, see "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors— Risks Relating to Our Class A Ordinary Shares and the Trading Market")***

In addition to the risks described above, we are subject to general risks and uncertainties relating to our Class A ordinary shares and the trading market, including, but not limited to, the following:

● Nasdaq has recently adopted and proposed new listing rules that could result in the accelerated delisting of our Class A ordinary shares (see page 32 of this annual report);

● the trading price of our Class A ordinary shares is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors (see page 33 of this annual report);

● substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of our Class A ordinary shares in the public market could cause the price of our Class A ordinary shares to decline (see page 36 of this annual report);

● if we fail to establish and maintain proper internal financial reporting controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired (see page 38 of this annual report); and

● as a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the Nasdaq listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with corporate governance listing standards (see page 38 of this annual report).

**Risks Relating to the Business and Industry of the Operating Entities**

 ****

***If the operating subsidiaries' products fail to meet the demands of their customers or to reflect the latest developments in the compatible toner cartridge market, the operating subsidiaries may be unable to retain existing customers or attract new customers, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.***

The compatible toner cartridge market is characterized by rapid technological development and continual introduction of new models. As a specialized manufacturer of toner cartridges, our future success depends largely on (i) the ability to continually update and launch new products that can be used in updated or new printer models that come to the market from time to time, (ii) the number of customers using products offered by the operating subsidiaries, and (iii) the price that they are willing to pay for those products. If the operating subsidiaries' products fail to meet customer demands in terms of product quality and functionality or to respond to the latest developments in the compatible toner cartridge market, the operating subsidiaries may not be able to maintain their existing customer base or attract new customers. In addition, the operating subsidiaries may not be able to maintain the current selling prices of their products. Some factors that may affect the ability of the operating subsidiaries to meet customer demands and to attract customers include: their ability to (i) develop or acquire the necessary technical know-how to design and manufacture new products and enhance or adapt existing products to respond to changes in printer technologies, market trends and customer demands; (ii) manage their growth while maintaining the consistency of their product quality, promote their products to a broader base of prospective customers; and (iii) provide satisfactory customer support and after-sale services in a timely manner. If the operating subsidiaries are unable to retain existing customers and continue to attract new customers to use those products offered by the operating subsidiaries and to increase new customers' spending with the operating subsidiaries, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries' ability to compete effectively may be hampered if their intellectual property rights are infringed on by third-parties or, on the other hand, if they are alleged or found to have infringed on the intellectual property rights of others.***

In their business operations, the operating subsidiaries have developed trademarks, patents, industry know-how, product formulas, production processes, technologies and other intellectual property rights that we believe are of significant value to the operating subsidiaries' operations. As of December 31, 2025, through the operating subsidiaries, we owned 409 registered patents in the U.S., Europe, and Mainland China, a total of 122 trademarks registered in the U.S., Europe, Mainland PRC and Hong Kong, and two (2] registered domain names. In addition, through the operating subsidiaries, we are in the process of applying for 142 patents worldwide. See "Item 4. Information on the Company —B. Business Overview — Intellectual Property" for details.

It may be possible for third parties to obtain and use products, know-how and technologies under intellectual property rights owned by the operating subsidiaries without authorization, or for third parties to copy or imitate products, know-how and technologies under the operating subsidiaries' intellectual property rights, thereby causing confusion and mislead end-users to believe the counterfeit products, which are usually of poor quality, are products of the operating subsidiaries. This may adversely affect the sales, damage the reputation, and tarnish the brand of the operating subsidiaries, and increase any administrative costs to be incurred by the operating subsidiaries in respect of detection, investigation and initiation of the legal proceedings of the infringement. We cannot assure you that the operating subsidiaries' intellectual property rights will not be misappropriated by third parties and, if such misappropriations do occur, that we will be able to detect and address them timely and effectively.

On the other hand, we cannot assure you that the operating subsidiaries' intellectual property rights will not be challenged by third parties, whether with or without merit. Certain unrelated third parties may own intellectual property rights which may be considered to be similar to those of the operating subsidiaries. We could face difficulty and incur material expenses during our future expansion because of the existence of any similar patents owned by unrelated third parties.

We and the operating subsidiaries may from time to time be required to institute or be involved in litigation, arbitration or other forms of proceedings, including settlements, to enforce or defend the operating subsidiaries' intellectual property rights, which would likely be time-consuming and expensive and may divert our management's time and attention regardless of their outcome. If we and/or the operating subsidiaries fail the defend against such litigations, we and/or the operating subsidiaries may be ordered to pay a material amount as penalty, refrain from using such patents, know-hows or licenses, require pre-approvals of future designed products and stop selling our products that are related to them in particular regions or countries. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the total patent registration and patent litigation costs we incurred amounted to US$0.14 million, US$0.25 million and US$0.14 million, respectively.

If any third party infringes on the intellectual property rights of the operating subsidiaries or if we or the operating subsidiaries are alleged or found to have infringed on the intellectual property rights of others, it may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***The operating subsidiaries may be exposed to risks of obsolete inventories because technological upgrades by the original-brand printer manufacturers render their toner cartridge products obsolete or due to their failure to manage inventories efficiently. If this occurs, we may incur losses for our research and development expenses, production costs and marketing expenses relating to such obsolete inventories.***

Generally, through the operating subsidiaries, we begin to research, design and develop a compatible toner cartridge after a new printer model is introduced to the market. As each printer typically has a unique hardware and software system, a compatible toner cartridge usually only works with specific printer models for which they are designed. As such, there exists a risk that during the period while the operating subsidiaries' compatible toner cartridge is under development or sometime after they began selling the compatible toner cartridge, the original-brand printer manufacturer may conduct an upgrade of its printer which renders the operating subsidiaries' toner cartridge not compatible with it anymore. If this occurs, we may not be able to recover the research and development expenses, production costs and marketing expenses we incurred in connection with the toner cartridge product. In addition, the operating subsidiaries may receive requests from customers for product return or exchange due to upgrades by original-brand printer manufacturers which rendered such products not compatible anymore. Upgrades by original-brand printer manufacturers are beyond our control. If such upgrades are frequent and substantial, it may result in more product returns and exchanges for the operating subsidiaries, as well as losses for research and development expenses, production costs and marketing expenses, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Our inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods. For branded products and white-label products, the operating subsidiaries' sales and marketing department, based on their understanding of historical sales and perceived market trends, formulates annual sales targets at our Company's level and at the regional level. The operating subsidiaries manufacture their ODM products on a made-to-order basis. See "Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Logistics and Warehousing — Inventory control." We believe that maintaining an appropriate level of inventories helps the operating subsidiaries deliver their products to meet the market demands in a timely manner. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries' balance of inventories amounted to approximately US$17.5 million, US$20.6 million and US$14.6 million, respectively, and the operating subsidiaries' inventory turnover days were 78.3 days, 76.1 days and 62.3 days, respectively. We cannot assure you that the operating subsidiaries will not experience any slow movement of inventories or that the operating subsidiaries' inventories will not become obsolete, which may be caused by the reduced sales of the operating subsidiaries due to change in consumer demand or preferences, change of marketing strategy by the operating subsidiaries' customers or incorrect estimation of the market demand for their products. If the operating subsidiaries fail to manage their inventories effectively or are unable to sell their excess inventories, the operating subsidiaries may face a risk of inventory obsolescence and/or significant inventory write-downs, which may impose pressure on our operating cash flow, and materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 ****

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries may not be able to maintain or increase the selling prices of their products.***

Our results of operations are affected by the pricing of the operating subsidiaries' products. For ODM products and white-label products, the operating subsidiaries generally price their products on the basis of a cost-plus calculation of the costs involved in manufacturing, and with reference to the prevailing market prices. For new ODM products, the operating subsidiaries generally review and adjust the price list every month. The ability of the operating subsidiaries to offer competitive prices and launch new patented products quickly after the original-brand products are released are critical factors, among other factors, in securing orders from their customers. The operating subsidiaries are generally able to maintain current pricing strategies for their products as a result of our localized operation and ancillary services provided to offline customers including drop ship service, private labeling and customized packing services. For branded products sold on the Walmart platform, the operating subsidiaries generally set the retail price based on the base selling prices, marketing expenses, fees paid to online selling platforms, different brand positioning and prices of competing products. If for any reason market perception of the operating subsidiaries should change for the worse, the operating subsidiaries may not be able to maintain or increase the selling prices of their products, which would have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As more competitors are able to catch up with industry leaders by providing products of the latest printer models, the overall export price has shown a decreasing trend to reflect the intense competition. In addition, if the operating subsidiaries' suppliers raise their prices and the operating subsidiaries are unable to pass it on to their customers, our profit margins will be reduced, and our financial condition and results of operations would be negatively affected.

 ****

***Raw material purchase prices are subject to fluctuation and the operating subsidiaries could face shortage in supply of their raw materials.***

Our cost of inventory sold mainly consists of the raw materials used in the production of toner cartridges, such as OPC drum, toner and chips. Our cost of inventory sold accounted for 81.6%, 76.4% and 80.5%, respectively, of our total cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Depending on the market supply and demand conditions, prices of raw materials for the operating subsidiaries fluctuate and are influenced by the economic growth in the PRC, the prevailing prices of the global market and the availability of such raw materials, all of which are beyond our control. A significant volatility in the price levels of raw materials could increase our cost of sales and adversely affect our profit margin. We and the operating subsidiaries have not hedged against changes in commodity prices, and we and the operating subsidiaries do not intend to enter into such hedges in the future. We expect that raw materials prices will continue to fluctuate and be affected by the factors stated above in the future. As such, an increase in the prices of raw materials, inability to pass on or delay in passing on any increase in our costs of raw materials to consumers or inability to identify and source from alternative suppliers may have a significant impact on our profit margin and our profitability. The operating subsidiaries do not have long-term contractual arrangements with their suppliers. If all or a significant number of the suppliers for any particular raw material and/or packaging material are unable or unwilling to meet the operating subsidiaries' production requirements, or if the operating subsidiaries are unable to obtain raw materials in quantities and of the quality the operating subsidiaries require at commercially reasonable prices, the production volume, product quality or our profitability may deteriorate and we could suffer shortages or significant cost increases which in turn may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 ****

***Any interruption in the normal operations of the operating subsidiaries' warehouses may have an adverse impact on the operating subsidiaries' ability to fulfill orders from their customers and business operations.***

The operating subsidiaries' ability to fulfill customer orders on a timely basis is critical to their business operations and depends on the smooth operation of the operating subsidiaries' warehouses. If the operating subsidiaries do not operate their warehouses well, it could result in delays in fulfilling customer orders, excess or insufficient fulfillment capacity, an increase in costs, decrease in gross profit margin, or harm the operating subsidiaries' reputation and relationships with their customers.

In addition, the operating subsidiaries' warehouses may be vulnerable to damage caused by fire, floods, power outages, telecommunication failures, break-ins, earthquakes, human error and other events. The operating subsidiaries' cloud-based warehouse management system could also be subject to errors or flaws, which could adversely impact the normal operation of the warehouses and the ability of the operating subsidiaries to record inventory or fulfill orders on an accurate and efficient manner. Any occurrence of the foregoing risks could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

***The operating subsidiaries rely significantly on the North American and European market. Any changes in the economic and regulatory conditions or global trade policy in North America or Europe or changes in the business strategies of North American customers or Europe customers may have an adverse effect on our business.***

For each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our revenue mainly derived from North America and Europe. Our financial performance depends significantly on general economic conditions in North America and Europe and their impact on consumer confidence and discretionary consumer spending. Further, economic factors in North America or Europe such as a reduction in the availability of credit, increased unemployment levels, rising interest rates, financial market volatility, recession, reduced consumer confidence, and other factors affecting consumer spending behavior such as acts of terrorism or major epidemics could reduce demand for the operating subsidiaries' products. On the other hand, any change in the global trade policy in North America or Europe, including tightening regulatory restrictions, industry-specific quotas, tariffs, non-tariff barriers and taxes, may have the effect of limiting the operating subsidiaries' products exported from the PRC and, hence, an adverse effect on our business.

If there is any change in the management or control of the North American or European customers of the operating subsidiaries, then such North American or European customers may in turn change their business strategy, which may cause their demand for compatible toner cartridges to decrease. This in turn may have a material and adverse effect on our business performance, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

A potential serious downturn in the overall economy of the North America or Europe or in North American or European compatible toner cartridge industry, or policies unfavorable to the import of goods into North America or Europe may cause the financial conditions and purchasing powers of the operating subsidiaries' customers in North America or Europe to deteriorate. The operating subsidiaries' customers are not under contractual obligations to place orders with them, so order quantities may fluctuate depending on the profitability of customers' businesses and the spending power of the consumers. An economic downturn in North America or Europe or continued uncertainties regarding future prospects that affect consumer spending habits in North America or Europe may have an adverse effect on the placing of orders by the operating subsidiaries' customers. We can offer no assurance that the operating subsidiaries will be able to respond quickly to any economic, market or regulatory changes in the North American or European market, and any failure to do so may result in an adverse effect on our business performance, financial condition, and results of operations.

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries may be unable to maintain their relationship with the customers, and they may fail to engage new customers.***

The operating subsidiaries do not enter into any long-term sales agreements with their customers, and only engage in purchases of goods with the customers on a one-off basis by purchase orders based on these customers' demand. These purchase orders typically include key terms about the products to be sold such as product specifications, pricing, credit terms, rebate arrangement, and delivery and warranties. The operating subsidiaries may not be able to obtain new purchase orders with their customers as the customers may choose to enter into arrangements with the competitors of the operating subsidiaries, who may offer those customers access to a stronger product portfolio or more favorable economic terms. The loss of customers could adversely affect the sales of the operating subsidiaries. There is no assurance that the operating subsidiaries' current or future purchase orders with customers could be negotiated or obtained on terms equivalent to or better than current terms. Any disruption in the operating subsidiaries' relationships with their customers could affect the operating subsidiaries' ability to maintain and grow their sales, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, and results of operations. In addition, there can be no assurance that the operating subsidiaries would be able to develop new relationships with additional customers, in order to expand their sales network.

 ****

***The business of the operating subsidiaries relies significantly on export sales which may be adversely affected by present or future export regulations or enforcement.***

We derive a significant portion of our revenue from export sales which accounted for substantially all of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, and approximately 88.7% of our revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025. Export sales are generally subject to export regulations including tariffs, quotas, customs and other import or export restrictions and impose trade barriers, market access regulations, trade sanctions or anti-dumping measures. Any violation of applicable regulations could subject the operating subsidiaries to a substantial fine, damage our reputation and result in sanctions on exporting. We cannot assure you that the national or local authorities in the overseas markets will not enact additional laws or regulations or amend or enforce new regulations in a more rigorous manner. Changes in export regulations may place restrictions on the operating subsidiaries in selling their products in the overseas markets, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***The operating subsidiaries face intense competition in the compatible toner cartridge industry with their competitors and original brand toner cartridge manufacturers in North America and Europe.***

The compatible toner cartridge industry is relatively concentrated. The increasing competition on pricing puts further constraints on the growth of existing companies in the market. Some of the competitors of the operating subsidiaries may have substantially greater financial resources, product development capabilities or better products quality than we have. They may leverage on their financial strength to improve their production and marketing capabilities, diversify their product portfolio, develop effective substitutes for the operating subsidiaries' products, locate their production facilities in strategic locations and recruit experienced management personnel. Original-brand toner cartridge manufacturers also launched discount contractual toner cartridges to exclusive end customer group under a special program with the aim to retake the toner cartridge market share from compatible toner cartridge manufacturers. We cannot assure you that the operating subsidiaries will be able to react to and match the business development of their competitors in a timely manner or at all. We also cannot assure you that the competitors of the operating subsidiaries will not actively engage in activities designed to undermine the brands and product quality of the operating subsidiaries or to influence consumer confidence in the operating subsidiaries' products. In addition, new competitors may seek to enter or expand into the compatible toner cartridge industry. If the operating subsidiaries are unable to compete effectively with their competitors or if the operating subsidiaries fail to remain competitive, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 ****

***We may not be able to recover all of our deferred income tax assets.***

While the deferred income tax assets may enable our Company to reduce future tax payment, there are risks as their recoverability is dependent on our Company's ability to generate future taxable profit. There is no assurance that the deferred income tax assets can be recovered. In the case that the value of the deferred income tax assets has changed, we may have to write-down the deferred income tax assets, which may have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries' business is subject to the risks of international operations.***

The operating subsidiaries operate six overseas subsidiaries as their sales branch offices in the U.S., the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom and France. As of December 31, 2025, the overseas subsidiaries had 47 foreign employees. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, we derived substantially all of our revenue from overseas sales, and for the year ended December 31, 2025, we derived approximately 88.7% of our revenue from overseas sales. Through our overseas subsidiaries, we plan to expand our global reach by increasing sales and marketing efforts and further expanding our geographical markets. As a result, we are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties associated with such expansion, including:

● compliance with foreign laws, regulatory requirements and local industry standards, in particular, those related to compatible toner cartridges;

● exposure to increased litigation risks in overseas markets;

● political and economic instabilities;

● unfamiliarity with local operating and market conditions; and

● cultural and language difficulties in managing foreign employees.

Any of the foregoing and other risks and uncertainties could adversely affect the international sales of the operating subsidiaries, which in turn could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

***The operating subsidiaries may experience delays or interruptions in the shipments of their products due to factors outside of their control, and such delays or interruptions could lead to lost revenue and customer satisfaction.***

The operating subsidiaries rely on third-party shipping companies and their services to transport products to the operating subsidiaries' warehouses and customers around the world. Such international shipping services could become disrupted by adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, ground logistics issues, customs delays, and other interruptions. Any delays in shipping services could result in untimely delivery of the operating subsidiaries' products to their customers. If the operating subsidiaries are unable to deliver their products in a timely manner, our revenues could be negatively impacted and the operating subsidiaries' reputation with their customers could suffer, resulting in materially adverse impact to our business operations, financial position, and results of operations.

 ****

***We face foreign exchange risks and translation risks.***

We derive a substantial portion of our revenue in US$ and Euro. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our business and performance. Our sales are predominantly denominated in US$ and Euro while our costs are mostly denominated in RMB. The exchange rates between US$, Euro and RMB are subject to continuous movements affected by international political and economic conditions and changes in the PRC government's economic and monetary policies. As we derive a substantial portion of our revenue in US$ and Euros while a substantial portion of our costs are denominated in RMB, appreciation of RMB against US$, which is our reporting currency will therefore directly decrease our profit margin if the operating subsidiaries are unable to increase the selling prices of their products accordingly. If the operating subsidiaries increase the selling prices of their products as a result of the appreciation of the RMB against the relevant foreign currencies, there would have an adverse effect on the purchasing power of the RMB amount that we would receive from the conversion. On the other hand, any depreciation of RMB would adversely affect our ability to pay for foreign currency obligations.

In addition, we are subject to translation risks as our consolidated financial statements are reported in US$ while the financial statements of our Mainland PRC operating subsidiaries are prepared in RMB, the currency of the primary economic environment in which our operations are based, and the financial statements of some of our subsidiaries are prepared in Euros. We recorded currency translation gain of US$0.3 million, US$0.1 million, and US$0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Accordingly, we may incur currency translation losses or gains due to translation of functional currency into the presentation currency which may adversely affect our financial position.

 ****

***Our performance depends on the operating subsidiaries' favorable labor relations with their employees. Any deterioration in these relations or a shortage of labor or a rise in labor costs may have an adverse effect on our operating results.***

The operating subsidiaries' manufacturing process is labor intensive and relies heavily on know-how and experience of their employees. With the introduction of automated production lines, the operating subsidiaries are becoming less reliant upon a significant number of skilled workers over time. However, the operation of automated production lines requires workers with relevant experience and expertise. As such, the operating subsidiaries rely on a combination of skilled workers and experienced automated production line operating personnel to support their product development and manufacturing processes. As of December 31, 2025, the operating subsidiaries had a total of 665 employees for manufacturing. Our success is dependent on the operating subsidiaries' ability to hire, train, retain and motivate their employees. If the employees of the operating subsidiaries are not satisfied with what the operating subsidiaries offer, such as remuneration package or working environment, the operating subsidiaries may not be able to retain them, or to replace them with personnel of appropriate skill set at comparable costs. In such event or in the event that the regions near the operating subsidiaries' production facilities do not have a sufficiently sizable labor force, the operating subsidiaries may need to expend additional resources to attract and recruit suitable employees. Favorable labor relations are essential to our performance, and any material increase in our labor costs may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries maintain warehouses and/or offices in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and Italy and hire local employees for the operations of these facilities. As a result, the operating subsidiaries are subject to labor laws of these European countries, which are relatively stringent.***

As of December 31, 2025, the operating subsidiaries had 1,615 full-time employees, among whom 37 were located in European countries. Labor laws in Europe are generally more protective of employees. For instance, many countries in Europe have laws protecting employees from being terminated without proper cause with statutory advance notice or without paying employees severance compensation in statutorily determined amounts. In addition, in some European countries, the operating subsidiaries may be required to consult employee representatives or unions with respect to certain decisions the operating subsidiaries make that may impact their employees. As a result, these labor laws may be more costly to comply with and could interfere with the operating subsidiaries' ability to quickly adjust operations in response to market changes or business strategies.

***Through our Mainland PRC subsidiaries, we enjoy certain preferential tax treatments and government grants from the government of the PRC. Expiration of, or changes to, these preferential tax treatments and government grants could have an adverse effect on our operating results.***

Our profit is affected by the level of income tax that we pay and the preferential tax treatment to which we are entitled through our Mainland PRC subsidiaries. In recognition of its strong technology and production development capability, our key operating subsidiary, Jiangxi Yibo, has been accredited as a high-tech enterprise since 2013, which entitles Jiangxi Yibo to a preferential EIT rate of 15%, subject to the review and approval by the tax authorities every three years. The current accreditation was awarded to Jiangxi Yibo on October 29, 2025 with a validity period of three years, and prior to its expiration, Jiangxi Yibo will submit an application for the renewal of the high and new technology enterprise certificate. To renew this, Jiangxi Yibo is required to meet certain criteria, including among others, a certain level of research and development expenses and a certain number of employees dedicated to research and development, which are subject to the review and approval of the relevant authorities.

There is no assurance the PRC policies on preferential tax treatments will not change or that the current preferential tax treatments our Mainland PRC subsidiaries enjoy will not be canceled. If such change or cancelation occurs, Jiangxi Yibo may be subject to an EIT rate of 25%, and the resulting increase in our tax liability would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We received government grants of US$0.5 million, US$0.9 million and US$0.5 million, respectively, during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Most of the government grants to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries are of a non-recurring nature and there is no assurance that our Mainland PRC subsidiaries would continue to enjoy the government grants at the historical levels, or at all. Any change, suspension or termination of these government grants we have received could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 ****

***We are subject to customer credit risk in collecting trade receivables.***

The operating subsidiaries' ODM products and white-label products are generally sold on credit terms ranging from 90 to 120 days and from 30 to 60 days respectively. The credit terms of online sales of branded products are 14 days. Our trade receivables were settled by either bank transfer or check. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, average turnover days of our trade receivables were 68.6 days, 76.9 days and 97.6 days, respectively, which were within our credit period. As of December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our trade receivables were approximately US$31.3 million, US$31.6 million and US$50.6 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, approximately US$0.46 million, US$0.12 million and US$0.61 million of allowance for credit losses were recorded, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, write-off of our trade receivables was US$0.47 million, US$0.13 million and US$0.09 million, respectively. We maintain export credit insurance which covers material commercial risks and political risks in relation to our export transactions. There is no assurance that all such amounts due to us will be settled on time or at all. Accordingly, we face credit risk in collecting the trade receivable due from customers. Our liquidity and profitability will be adversely affected if significant amounts due to us are not settled on time or at all. The bankruptcy or deterioration of the credit conditions of any major customers could also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries may fail to maintain an effective quality control system and may be subject to claims by their customers in respect of product quality and compliance with relevant health and safety standards.***

The quality of the operating subsidiaries' products is vital to the success of our business in the industry. The operating subsidiaries' quality control depends significantly on the effectiveness of their quality control system, which, in turn, depends on a number of factors, including the design of the system, the machines and equipment used, quality of their staff and related training programs and their ability to ensure that their employees adhere to internal quality control policies and guidelines. See "Item 4. Information on the Company —B. Business — Manufacturing and Quality Assurance — Quality Assurance."

We and the operating subsidiaries may at times be involved in litigation or other legal proceedings during our ordinary course of business related to, among other things, product or other types of liability, labor disputes or contractual disputes that could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition. If we or any operating subsidiary become involved in any litigation or other legal proceedings in the future, the outcome of such proceedings could be uncertain and could result in settlements or outcomes which negatively impact our reputation and our financial condition. In addition, any litigation or legal proceedings could incur substantial legal expenses as well as significant time and attention of our management, diverting their attention from our business and operations.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, there were no material product recalls, product returns, product liability claims or customer complaints that adversely affected our business. There can be no assurance that the operating subsidiaries' quality control system will continue to be effective. Any significant failure in or deterioration of the efficacy of the operating subsidiaries' quality control system could damage their product quality and have an adverse effect on our reputation in the market among our existing or prospective customers. It will, in turn, lead to reduced orders or loss of customers in the future, thus severely harming our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The end-users of our products may have the right to bring an action under the law of Mainland PRC and relevant jurisdictions.

There is no assurance that we or any operating subsidiary of ours would not be named as a defendant in a lawsuit or proceedings brought by end consumers in the future in respect of the operating subsidiaries' products in the event that these products are found to be harmful for or detrimental to human health, resulting in illnesses or deaths of any persons. A successful claim against us or an operating subsidiary of ours in respect of the operating subsidiaries' products or a material recall of these products may result in (i) significant financial costs to be incurred and management efforts to be spent in defending against such claim or other adverse allegations or rectifying such defects or making payment for damages; (ii) deterioration of our brand and corporate image; and (iii) material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 ****

***We have grown rapidly and expect to continue to expand our business in the future. If we fail to manage our growth or execute our growth strategies, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.***

In the past few years, we experienced steady growth and, through our overseas subsidiaries, established our presence in North America and Europe. Our revenue amounted to approximately US$150.2 million, US$149.8 million and US$155.2 million, respectively, while our gross profit amounted to approximately US$59.0 million, US$52.3 million and US$45.7 million, respectively, with gross profit margin of approximately 39.3%, 34.9% and 29.4%, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Going forward, we expect to continue to expand our business and geographic coverage. We may not succeed in executing our growth strategies due to a number of factors, such as:

● the operating subsidiaries may fail to develop their products which respond to market changes and meet customers' demands and other factors;

● the operating subsidiaries may not be successful to effectively market their products in new markets or promote new products in existing markets; and

● the operating subsidiaries may fail to achieve the benefits we expect from expansion.

If we fail to successfully execute our growth strategies, our business, financial performance and prospects may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our historical financial information is a mere analysis of our past performance and is not necessarily indicative of our financial condition, results of operations and changes in liquidity and capital resources in the future.

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries' insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all risks in relation to their business operations.***

The operating subsidiaries maintain various insurance policies to safeguard against risks and unexpected events. The operating subsidiaries have purchased property insurance which covers all risks of physical loss, destruction or damage to their production facilities, the inventory of their products and their fixed assets. The operating subsidiaries also maintain trade insurance for their overseas transactions in certain other markets. However, there are certain types of losses, such as losses from war, acts of terrorism, outbreak of diseases, earthquakes, typhoons, flooding and other natural disasters for which the operating subsidiaries cannot obtain insurance at a reasonable cost or at all. See "Item 4. Information on the Company —B. Business Overview — Insurance." If we experience events for which the operating subsidiaries are not insured, we would incur the resulting financial losses, and such losses may be substantial, particularly if the operating subsidiaries' products are found to cause widespread injury, illness or death. Moreover, the operating subsidiaries' insurance policies may include financial limits with respect to the losses from events for which they are insured. If we experience uninsured losses or losses in excess of the operating subsidiaries' insurance coverage, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 ****

 ****

***Our business is dependent on the continuous operation of the operating subsidiaries' production facilities.***

The operating subsidiaries' major production facilities are located in Xinyu City of Jiangxi Province in the PRC. These facilities are subject to operational risks, such as the breakdown or failure of major equipment, power supply or maintenance, performance below expected levels of output or efficiency, obsolescence, labor disputes, natural disasters, industrial accidents and the need to comply with the directives of relevant government authorities. Where events that limit the operating subsidiaries' ability to operate their facilities occur, the operating subsidiaries may need to incur substantial additional expenses to repair or replace the damaged equipment or facilities. The temporary closing down of the operating subsidiaries' production facilities would severely affect the operating subsidiaries' daily production and business operation. If the operating subsidiaries' production facilities were to be temporarily closed down, their ability to manufacture and supply products and ability to meet delivery obligations to their customers would be significantly disrupted, and the operating subsidiaries' relationships with their customers could be damaged, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In order to conduct maintenance, statutory inspections and testing, the operating subsidiaries may carry out planned shutdowns from time to time. The operating subsidiaries may also shut down production lines from time to time to allow for capacity expansion and equipment upgrades. Although the operating subsidiaries take precautions to minimize the risk of any significant operational problems at their facilities, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by any disruption of operations at the operating subsidiaries' facilities, whether caused by any of the factors mentioned above or otherwise.

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries' facilities and operations may require continuous and substantial investment and upgrading.***

The operating subsidiaries have continued to invest and upgrade their production facilities to improve their production capabilities, increase their production lines, enhance the quality of their products, and increase the automation and cost-effectiveness of their products. The operating subsidiaries' research and development team develops new products and optimizes their existing products, and the operating subsidiaries require substantial investment and upgrading to apply these research results and to expand their production capacity and enhance the automation processes. If our investment and upgrading costs are higher than anticipated, or our business does not develop as anticipated to appropriately utilize new or upgraded facilities, our costs and financial performance could be negatively affected.

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries production facilities may be unable to maintain efficiency, encounter problems in ramping up production or otherwise have difficulty meeting their production requirements.***

Our future growth will depend upon the ability of the operating subsidiaries to maintain efficient operations at their existing production facilities and their ability to expand production facility as needed. The current utilization of the existing production facilities at the Yibo industrial park has been steadily increasing and is already close to full capacity. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries had increased their production capacity by installing additional production lines in the existing factory and implementing automation to the existing production lines. The utilization rate of production facilities depends primarily on the demand for the operating subsidiaries' products and the availability and maintenance of the operating subsidiaries' equipment, but may also be affected by other factors, such as the availability of employees, a stable supply of electricity, and seasonal factors. In order to meet customers' demands and advancements in technology, the operating subsidiaries maintain their production facilities on a regular basis. If the operating subsidiaries are unable to maintain their production facilities' efficiency, the operating subsidiaries may be unable to fulfill purchase orders in a timely manner, or at all. This could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

***The operating subsidiaries operate their branches and warehouses on leased properties and may not be able to control rental cost, quality, maintenance and management of these offices and warehouses, nor can the operating subsidiaries ensure they will be able to renew or find suitable premises to replace their existing offices and warehouses in the event their landlords refuse to renew the relevant lease agreements upon the expiry of the lease terms.***

The operating subsidiaries lease the premises used as offices in the PRC, California, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and France from independent third parties. The operating subsidiaries also lease premises used as warehouses in California and South Carolina in the U.S., the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and Italy. See "Item 4. Information on the Company —B. Business Overview — Properties and Facilities." Such premises and facilities were developed and/or maintained by the landlords to such premises and facilities. Accordingly, the operating subsidiaries are not in a position to effectively control the quality, maintenance and management of such premises and facilities. In the event the quality of the premises and facilities deteriorates, or if any or all of the landlords fail to properly maintain and renovate such premises or facilities in a timely manner, or if the operating subsidiaries are unable to successfully extend or renew our leases upon expiration of the current term on commercially reasonable terms or at all, the operating subsidiaries may be forced to relocate their branches, or the rental costs may increase significantly. The operating subsidiaries compete with many other businesses for sites in certain prime locations, and some landlords may have entered into long-term leases with the competitors of the operating subsidiaries for these locations. As a result, the operating subsidiaries may not be able to find desirable alternative locations without incurring significant time and financial costs. If this occurs, the operating subsidiaries' operations may be disrupted, and our results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, our Mainland PRC subsidiaries did not register their lease agreements in the PRC with the relevant government authorities. See "Item 4. Information on the Company —B. Business Overview — Properties and Facilities." Under the relevant Mainland PRC laws and regulations, our Mainland PRC subsidiaries may be required to register and file with the relevant government authority executed leases. While the lack of registration will not affect the validity and enforceability of the lease agreements, a fine ranging from RMB1,000 to RMB10,000 may be imposed on the parties for each non-registered lease in case our Mainland PRC subsidiaries do not observe an order issued by relevant government authority which require them to file the registration in a specific period of time. Our Mainland PRC subsidiaries may be subject to an aggregate maximum penalty of RMB60,000 for all six unregistered lease agreements in Mainland PRC. Our Mainland PRC subsidiaries may incur additional expenses if any fines were imposed upon them, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

***The operating subsidiaries' production and sales are affected by seasonality.***

Our operating results are affected by the seasonality of the orders received by the operating subsidiaries. The operating subsidiaries typically experience slightly lower revenue in the fourth quarter every year due to the decrease in demand for toner cartridges in offices before and during the Christmas holidays. As the majority of the operating subsidiaries' customers are located in North America and Europe, the demand for printers used in offices and schools tends to decrease when these customers are on vacation during those periods. We expect such pattern to continue in the future. Due to these seasonal consumption patterns which are outside of our control, our operating results and financial condition may fluctuate from period to period.

 ****

***Our success depends on the continuing efforts of our senior management team and other key employees.***

We depend on the continued contributions of our senior management and other key employees, including, in particular, Mr. Weidong Gu, our founder and chairman of our board of directors. Mr. Gu has extensive experience as an engineer of which more than 20 years of experience are in the compatible toner cartridge industry. Our future success also depends on our other key personnel, including financial, sales and marketing and research and development staff. If any of our senior executives or key personnel leaves us and we fail to effectively manage a transition to new personnel in the future, or if we fail to attract and retain qualified and experienced professionals on acceptable terms, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Moreover, if any member of our senior management team or any of our other key personnel joins a competitor or forms a competing company, the operating subsidiaries may lose customers, key professionals, and sales staff members. All our executive officers and many key personnel are subject to the duty of confidentiality and non-competition restrictions. However, if any disputes arise between any of our senior executives or key personnel and us, there are uncertainties regarding whether we will be able to successfully pursue legal actions against these individuals because of the uncertainties of China's legal systems and complexities of legal systems of foreign jurisdictions. Moreover, even if we succeed before a court of law, the compensation we would receive is unlikely to be sufficient to mitigate the negative impact on our business and future operations.

 ****

***Failure or security breach of the operating subsidiaries' information technology system may disrupt their operations.***

The operating subsidiaries increasingly rely on information technology systems to process, transmit and store information in relation to their operations. For example, all of the operating subsidiaries' production facilities, production processes and inventory management system utilize information technology to maximize efficiencies and minimize costs. The operating subsidiaries' information technology systems may be vulnerable to interruption due to a variety of events beyond their control, including but not limited to, natural disasters, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, hacking and other security issues. Any such interruption to the operating subsidiaries' information technology system could disrupt their operations and negatively impact their production capacity and ability to fulfill sales orders, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***ASL is subject to the policies of the online selling platform on which it operates its online retail store. Failure to comply with the policies or any changes to which could lead to imposition of penalties by the platform or increased cost for compliance.***

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we operated online retail stores on Amazon and other online selling platforms. Our revenue generated from the online retail stores was approximately US$11.4 million, US$12.9 million and US$15.2 million, accounting for approximately 7.6%, 8.6% and 9.8% of our total revenue generated for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into agreements for the sale of ten (10) wholly-owned subsidiary companies, which operated online stores in connection with the Company's overseas B2C business, to the Purchaser, as part of a strategic restructuring to streamline operations and optimize its business portfolio. Following the Disposition, as of the date of this annual report, through ASL, we operate one (1) online retail store on the Walmart platform, through which we sell remaining pre-Disposition toner cartridge and household product inventory. Upon the sale of all remaining inventory, such online store will cease operations.

The products we offer for sale on the online selling platform must comply with the requirements and restrictions of such platform, including all applicable platform policies, and all applicable laws and regulations. The platform has adopted comprehensive policies including general policies, intellectual property policies, product and requirements, shipping and tax policies. We cannot assure you that we will be in compliance with the policies or any other new policies, or that we would be able to efficiently change our business practice in line with the new policies. Any changes to the platform policies or to the interpretation or enforcement thereof may increase our operating costs. Any such failure in compliance or increased operating costs could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Non-compliance with existing and future health, safety and environmental policies, laws, rules and regulations may lead to imposition of fines penalties and other liabilities and our compliance costs may increase if environmental protection laws become more onerous.***

The operating subsidiaries' operations are subject to the health, safety and environmental policies, laws, rules and regulations of each local jurisdiction where the operating subsidiaries operate. For instance, applicable PRC laws and regulations, among other things, require manufacturers to ensure that the production plants and facilities meet the requirements of the relevant production safety laws, regulations and standards, conduct an environmental impact assessment before engaging in new construction projects, receive approval and pass environmental acceptance check before the commencement of production, pay fees in connection with activities that discharge waste materials, properly manage and dispose of hazardous substances, and impose fines and other penalties on activities that threaten or contaminate the environment. Currently, all of the operating subsidiaries' production facilities are located in Mainland PRC, but the operating subsidiaries may still be required to comply with environmental laws in relation to waste discharge of countries where the operating subsidiaries operate their warehouses. For instance, in European Union countries the operating subsidiaries may be subject to stricter environmental laws and regulation, including specific requirements of methods and location for waste discharge and disposal of hazardous substances.

Any violation of the applicable health, safety and environmental policies, laws, rules or regulations may result in orders of corrections, fines, shutdown of production and obligation to take corrective measures. In addition, any violation which is criminal in nature may result in criminal sanction. Moreover, violations of health, safety and environmental policies, laws, rules and regulations or other related incidents may result in liabilities to third parties. Consequently, any non-compliance incidents could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Further, there can be no assurance that any local government will not change existing laws or adopt more stringent practice as to the enforcement of health, safety and environmental regulations. Due to the uncertainty of regulatory developments and interpretation of laws and regulations, and the amount of related expenditures we may need to incur beyond those currently anticipated, we also cannot assure you that we will be in full compliance with the health, safety and environmental regulations at all times. If such costs become prohibitively expensive, we may be forced to adjust, limit or cease certain aspects of our business operations.

***Our Class A ordinary shares may be delisted and prohibited from being traded under the HFCAA if the PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors. The delisting and the cessation of trading of our Class A ordinary shares, or the threat of their being delisted and prohibited from being traded, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.***

Pursuant to the HFCAA, if the SEC determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspections by the PCAOB for two consecutive years, the SEC will prohibit our Class A ordinary shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States. If our securities were unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting or prohibition from trading would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our Class A 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 Class A ordinary shares.

Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included elsewhere in this annual report, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and is subject to inspection by the PCAOB. It has not been inspected since it was registered with the PCAOB in 2023. Additionally, it is not subject to the determination issued by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021.

Each year, the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate completely audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong, among other jurisdictions. If the PCAOB determines in the future that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate completely accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong and we use an accounting firm headquartered in one of these jurisdictions to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the SEC, we would be identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer following the filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the relevant fiscal year. In accordance with the HFCAA, our securities would be prohibited from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States if we are identified as a Commission-Identified Issuer for two consecutive years in the future. If our Class A ordinary shares are prohibited from trading in the United States, there is no certainty that we will be able to list on a non-U.S. exchange or that a market for our shares will develop outside of the United States. A prohibition of being able to trade in the United States would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our Class A ordinary shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our Class A ordinary shares. Also, such a prohibition would significantly affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, which would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and prospects.

***We face risks related to natural disasters, health epidemics, and other outbreaks, which could significantly disrupt our operations.***

Our business could be adversely affected by the effects of epidemics. Our operations could be disrupted if any of our employees is suspected of having COVID-19, H1N1 flu, avian flu, or another epidemic, since it could require our employees to be quarantined and/or our offices to be disinfected. In addition, our results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that the outbreak harms the PRC economy or economy in North America or Europe in general.

We are also vulnerable to natural disasters and other calamities. Any future outbreak of contagious diseases, extreme unexpected bad weather or natural disasters would adversely affect our business operations. If there is a recurrence of an outbreak of certain contagious diseases or natural disasters, our production facilities may be temporarily closed, and our operations may be suspended. Government advice regarding, or restrictions on, holding offline events, in the event of an outbreak of any contagious disease or occurrence of natural disasters may have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

***We may face risks related to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and any other conflicts that may arise on a global or regional scale which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.***

The war in Ukraine has already affected global economic markets, and the uncertain resolution of this conflict could result in protracted and/or severe damage to the global economy. Russia's military interventions in Ukraine have led to, and may lead to, additional sanctions being levied by North American countries, European Union and other countries against Russia. Russia's military incursion and the resulting sanctions could adversely affect global energy and financial markets and thus could affect our customers' business and our business. The extent and duration of military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial. Any such disruptions caused by Russian military action or resulting sanctions may magnify the impact of other risks described in this section. We cannot predict the progress or outcome of the situation in Ukraine, as the conflict and governmental reactions are rapidly developing and beyond their control.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has led to, and may continue leading to immediate impact on the global economy, result in higher energy prices and higher prices for certain raw materials and goods and services, which in turn is contributing to higher inflation in the United States and other countries across the globe with significant disruption to financial markets and supply and distribution chains for certain raw materials and goods and services on an unprecedented scale. The impact of the sanctions has also included disruptions to financial markets, an inability to complete financial or banking transactions, restrictions on travel and an inability to service existing or new customers in a timely manner in the affected areas of Europe. The Russian Federation could resort to cyberattacks and other action that impact businesses across the United States, the European Union and other nations across the globe including those without any direct business ties to the Russian Federation. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has continued to escalate without any resolution of the invasion foreseeable in the near future with the short and long-term impact on financial and business conditions in Europe remaining highly uncertain.

The U.S. and the European Union responded to Russia's invasion of Ukraine by imposing various economic sanctions on the Russian Federation to which the Russian Federation has responded in kind. The United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Australia and other countries across the globe have imposed their own sanctions on the Russian Federation. The United States, the European Union and such other countries acting together or separately could impose wider sanctions or take further actions against the Russian Federation if the conflict continues to escalate. Multinational corporations and other corporations and businesses with business and financial ties to the Russian Federation have either reduced or eliminated their ties to the Russian Federation in a manner that often exceeds what is required pursuant to sanctions by these countries.

Our revenue generated from Russia were US$6.3 million, US$3.5 million and nil for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, representing 4.2%, 2.3% and nil of our total revenues, respectively. Our revenue generated from Eastern Europe were US$13.6 million, nil and nil for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, representing 9.1%, nil and nil of our total revenue, respectively. As of the date of this annual report, we do not believe that our business segments, products, lines of service, projects, or operations have been materially impacted by the global supply chain disruptions resulted from the military invasion of Ukraine by Russia and we cannot guarantee that we will not be materially impacted by the economic uncertainty and volatility in the markets in the future, especially in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. To mitigate any supply chain risks we may face in the future, we are increasing our purchases from suppliers located in close proximity to our production facilities, and intend to negotiate purchase agreements with our suppliers and source raw materials with fixed pricing and delivery commitments. We will continue to assess and respond where appropriate to any direct or indirect impact that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has on the availability or pricing of the raw materials for our products, manufacturing and supply, if any, and distribution chains for our products and on the pricing and demand for our products.

In addition, any deterioration in credit markets resulting directly or indirectly from the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine could limit our ability to obtain external financing to fund our operations and capital expenditures. Adverse economic conditions may also result in a higher rate of losses on accounts receivable that we accrue in the future due to credit defaults. As a result, a downturn in the worldwide economy resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and other conflicts with a global impact that may arise from time to time could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and/or financial condition.

***Heightened military conflict involving Iran and other geopolitical tensions in the Middle East may adversely affect global economic conditions and the business and results of operations of the operating subsidiaries.***

The heightened military conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which escalated significantly in February 2026, has led to profound instability in global financial and energy markets. These events, including the closure of strategic airspaces and critical maritime routes such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, have contributed to a dramatic increase in the price of oil and gas and created widespread market uncertainty. China is particularly exposed to these developments, as it is the largest purchaser of Iranian crude oil, having absorbed nearly 90% of Iran's total crude exports as of early 2026. Any sustained disruption to Iranian oil exports, whether resulting from military action, the imposition of additional sanctions, or the closure of key maritime transit routes, could materially reduce the supply of crude oil available to China, drive up domestic energy costs, and exert significant downward pressure on China's broader economy. The ongoing disruptions caused by these military actions, and the potential for further escalation, could result in protracted and severe damage to the global economy and investment climate, with disproportionate consequences for China-based businesses such as the operating subsidiaries.

The cumulative effect of these geopolitical pressures, including elevated global energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and reduced international trade flows, may weigh materially on global economic growth and consumer spending in North America and Europe, which are the operating subsidiaries' primary markets. Any deterioration in economic conditions in North America or Europe resulting from these geopolitical developments could reduce demand for the operating subsidiaries' products, adversely affect the purchasing power of their customers, and impair the operating subsidiaries' ability to sustain and grow their sales network and export revenues.

Such geopolitical instability often leads to broad sell-offs in the equity markets and heightened investor sensitivity to risk. To the extent that disruptions to Iranian oil exports or other geopolitical developments in the Middle East increase global energy costs, disrupt supply chains, or dampen consumer confidence and economic activity in the operating subsidiaries' key markets, the operating subsidiaries' business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Consequently, these developments may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Class A ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. We cannot predict the ultimate progress or outcome of these situations, and any prolonged unrest or intensified military activities could have a material adverse effect on the global economy and, in particular, on economic conditions in North America and Europe, which in turn could negatively impact our financial condition and the value of our securities.

***Changes in the general worldwide economic and political environment could reduce the demand for our toner cartridge products.***

The demand for our products is affected by international, national and local economic and market conditions. Adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate in North America, Europe or globally, such as volatility in raw material prices, higher interest rates, inflation, higher unemployment rates, higher taxes or changes in governmental policies could reduce the level of income or consumer confidence in the countries from which our products are sold. Consequently, this may negatively affect demand for our products. In addition, inflation or any other increase in the cost of goods purchased by us as a result of economic and market conditions would increase our production costs and we may not be able to offset these cost increases without raising prices. Any decrease in demand for toner cartridge products could result in price discounting, which, in turn, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Changes in the general political environment (including an outbreak of armed conflict, such as the Israel-Hamas conflicts) could also impact economic and market conditions and cause an increase in the cost of goods or affect the supply chain.

Changes in international, national and local political conditions could also reduce the demand for our toner cartridge products. For example, Russia's adverse relationship with the United States, European countries and others, including as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, has affected economic conditions and consumer spending in Russia, Ukraine and other Eastern European countries, which has led to declining demand for toner cartridge products in those regions. Likewise, continued political unrest in the Middle East, including as a result of the Israel-Hamas conflict, may adversely affect the economy in the region. Even after resolution of the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts, there is no guarantee that demand for toner cartridge products in these regions will return.

***Failure to make adequate contributions to various employee benefit plans as required by PRC regulations may subject us to penalties.***

Under the PRC Social Insurance Law and the Administrative Measures on Housing Fund, companies operating in Mainland China are required to participate in various government sponsored employee benefit 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 their employees up to a maximum amount specified by the local government from time to time at locations where the businesses are operated. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our Mainland PRC subsidiaries did not make adequate contributions to social insurance plans for certain employees. We cannot assure you that these employees will not complain to the relevant authorities regarding the basis of how our Mainland PRC subsidiaries had made the contribution for them, which may in turn result in the relevant authorities ordering our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to make supplemental contribution and/or imposing late fees or fines on our Mainland PRC subsidiaries, among other things. If we are subject to late fees or fines in relation to the underpaid employee benefits, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

**Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC**

 ****

***Adverse changes in economic, political and social conditions of the PRC government could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China, which could adversely affect our business.***

The operating subsidiaries' production facilities are located in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, the PRC. Besides, the operating subsidiaries have one distribution center in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province, the PRC. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be influenced to a significant degree by political, economic and social conditions in China generally. The Chinese economy differs from the economies of most of the developed countries in many respects, including the level of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. Although the Chinese government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets, and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned by the government. In addition, the Chinese government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industry policies. The Chinese government also exercises significant control over China's economic growth through allocating resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy, and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies.

While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the rate of growth has been slowing since 2012. Any adverse changes in economic conditions in China, in the policies of the Chinese government or in the laws and regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments could adversely affect our business and operating results, lead to reduction in demand for the operating subsidiaries' products and adversely affect our competitive position. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. In addition, in the past the Chinese government has implemented certain measures, including interest rate adjustment, to control the pace of economic growth. These measures may cause decreased economic activity in China, which may adversely affect our business and operating results.

 ****

***Changes to the PRC legal system could have an adverse effect on us.***

The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions under the civil law system may be cited for reference but have limited precedential value. Since these laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform and the enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties.

In 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The overall effect of legislation over the past decades has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investments in China. However, recently enacted laws and regulations may not sufficiently cover all aspects of economic activities in China. In particular, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. Since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory provisions and contractual terms, it may be difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy. The uncertainties may affect our judgment on the relevance of legal requirements and our ability to enforce our contractual rights or tort claims.

Furthermore, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all and may have retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of any of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. In addition, any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention.

 ****

***The Chinese government exerts substantial influence over the manner in which the PRC subsidiaries must conduct their business activities and may intervene or influence their operations at any time, which could result in a material change in their operations and the value of our Class A 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 through our PRC subsidiaries may be harmed by changes in laws and regulations in China, including those relating to securities regulation, data protection, cybersecurity and mergers and acquisitions and other matters. The PRC central or local governments may impose new, stricter regulations or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our and our PRC subsidiaries' compliance with such regulations or interpretations.

Government actions in the future could significantly affect economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof and could require our PRC subsidiaries to materially change their operating activities or divest ourselves of any interests we hold in Chinese assets. Our PRC subsidiaries' business may be subject to various government and regulatory interference. We may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply. Our PRC subsidiaries' operations could be adversely affected, directly or indirectly, by changes to existing laws or implementation of future laws and regulations relating to their business or industry.

Given recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, any such action could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

For instance, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council of the PRC (the "State Council") jointly issued the Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law, or the Opinions, which were made available to the public on July 6, 2021. 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. As of the date of this annual report, we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanctions from PRC government authorities in connection with the Opinions.

On June 10, 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, or the SCNPC, promulgated the PRC Data Security Law, which took effect in September 2021. The PRC Data Security Law imposes data security and privacy obligations on entities and individuals carrying out data activities, and introduces a data classification and hierarchical protection system based on the importance of data in economic and social development, and the degree of harm it will cause to national security, public interests, or legitimate rights and interests of individuals or organizations when such data is tampered with, destroyed, leaked, illegally acquired or used. The PRC Data Security Law also provides for a national security review procedure for data activities that may affect national security and imposes export restrictions on certain data an information.

In early July 2021, regulatory authorities in China launched cybersecurity investigations with regard to several China-based companies that are listed in the United States. The Chinese cybersecurity regulator announced on July 2 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. On July 5, 2021, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator launched the same investigation on two other Internet platforms, China's Full Truck Alliance of Full Truck Alliance Co. Ltd. (NYSE: YMM) and Boss of KANZHUN LIMITED (Nasdaq: BZ).

On August 17, 2021, the State Council promulgated the Regulations on the Protection of the Security of Critical Information Infrastructure, or the Regulations, which took effect on September 1, 2021. The Regulations supplement and specify the provisions on the security of critical information infrastructure as stated in the Cybersecurity Review Measures. The Regulations provide, among others, that protection department of certain industry or sector shall notify the operator of the critical information infrastructure in time after the identification of certain critical information infrastructure.

On August 20, 2021, the SCNPC promulgated the Personal Information Protection Law of the PRC, or the Personal Information Protection Law, which took effect on November 1, 2021. As the first systematic and comprehensive law specifically for the protection of personal information in the PRC, the Personal Information Protection Law provides, among others, that (i) an individual's consent shall be obtained to use sensitive personal information, such as biometric characteristics and individual location tracking, (ii) personal information operators using sensitive personal information shall notify individuals of the necessity of such use and impact on the individual's rights, and (iii) where personal information operators reject an individual's request to exercise his or her rights, the individual may file a lawsuit with a People's Court.

On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, five supporting guidelines, as well as the Notice on Filing Management Arrangements for Overseas Listings of Domestic Enterprises, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. According to the Administration Measures and the Notice, overseas offering and listing refers to overseas offerings by domestic companies of equity shares, depository receipts, convertible corporate bonds, or other equity-like securities, and overseas listing of the securities for trading. Overseas offering and listing, which is specifically divided into direct overseas offerings and listing and indirect overseas offerings and listing, shall be filed in accordance with the Administration Measures. According to the Notice, domestic companies that have submitted valid applications for overseas issuance and listing but have not been approved by overseas regulatory authorities or overseas stock exchanges at the date of effectiveness of the Administration Measures can reasonably arrange the timing of filing applications and should complete the filing before the overseas issuance and listing. On September 25, 2023, we received CSRC's approval of our initial public offering under the Administration Measures. Since January 25, 2024, our Class A ordinary shares have been listed on the Nasdaq. In the future, in the event that we conduct any subsequent offerings, we may be subject to filing requirements with the CSRC. In such event, if our filing procedures were not completed according to the Administration Measures or if our filing materials contain false records, misleading statements or material omissions, the CSRC may order rectify such non-compliance, issue a warning, and impose a fine of not less than RMB1 million and not more than RMB10 million. We cannot assure you that the PRC government will publish any further clarifications or detailed rules and regulations on overseas listing, or as to how such rules and regulations will be interpreted or implemented, and we cannot assure you that the PRC regulatory agencies will not adopt any new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation. These risks could completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.

Furthermore, according to the Administration Measures, an overseas offering and listing is prohibited under any of the following circumstances:(1) if the intended securities offering and listing falls under specific clauses in national laws and regulations and relevant provisions prohibiting such financing activities; (2) if the intended securities offering and listing in an overseas market may endanger national security, as reviewed and determined by competent authorities under the State Council in accordance with law; (3) if, in the past three years, the domestic company or its controlling shareholders and actual controllers have committed corruption, bribery, embezzlement, misappropriation of property, or other criminal offenses disruptive to the order of the socialist market economy; (4) the domestic company is currently under judicial investigation for suspicion of criminal offenses or under investigation for suspicion of major violations, and no clear conclusion has been reached; (5) if there are material ownership disputes over equity held by the controlling shareholder or by shareholders under the control of the actual controllers. As of the date of this annual report, we do not fall under any of the abovementioned circumstances that might prohibit us from subsequent overseas offerings and continued listing.

On February 24, 2023, the CSRC, jointly with other relevant governmental authorities, issued the Confidentiality and Archives Management Provisions, which became effective on March 31, 2023. These provisions expanded the applicable scope of the regulation to indirect overseas offerings and listings by companies based in Mainland China and emphasized the confidentiality and archive management duties of such companies during the process of overseas offerings and listings.

On December 28, 2021, the CAC and other relevant PRC governmental authorities jointly promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures which became effective on February 15, 2022, and replaced the original Cybersecurity Review Measures promulgated on April 13, 2020. Pursuant to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, if critical information infrastructure operators purchase network products and services, or network platform operators conduct data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, they will be subject to cybersecurity review. A network platform operator holding more than one million users/users' individual information also shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad. The cybersecurity review will evaluate, among others, the risk of critical information infrastructure, core data, important data, or a large amount of personal information being influenced, controlled or maliciously used by foreign governments and risk of network data security after going public overseas. In the opinion of JunHe LLP, our PRC legal counsel, our business operations do not currently involve the procurement of network products and services as critical information infrastructure operators, or data processing as network platform operators. JunHe LLP has advised us that the Cybersecurity Review Measures do not currently apply to our Company, and we are not required to conduct cybersecurity review.

The impact of the above-mentioned promulgated laws, regulations and policies on the business operations of the PRC subsidiaries remains subject to substantial uncertainties. See also "— The approval of relevant PRC regulatory authorities and compliance procedures may be required in connection with our future offerings and, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval."

***We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us and any tax we are required to pay could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business.***

We are a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and we operate our business through our subsidiaries, including our subsidiaries based in Mainland PRC. Therefore, the availability of funds to us to pay dividends to our shareholders and to service our indebtedness depends upon dividends received from these subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries' ability to distribute dividends is based upon their distributable earnings. Current PRC regulations permit our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to their respective shareholders only out of their accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with Mainland PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries 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 China is also required to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at the discretion of its board of directors. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If our Mainland PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us. Any limitation on the ability of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to distribute dividends or other payments to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to our businesses, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct our business. Under the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax and Regulations for the Implementation of the Law on Enterprise Income Tax, dividends, interests, rent or royalties payable by a foreign-invested enterprise, such as our Mainland PRC subsidiary, Jiangxi Yibo, to any of its foreign non-resident enterprise investors, and proceeds from any such foreign enterprise investor's disposition of assets (after deducting the net value of such assets) are subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless the foreign enterprise investor's jurisdiction of incorporation has a tax treaty with Mainland China that provides for a reduced rate of withholding tax. The Cayman Islands, where our Company, the ultimate parent company of our Mainland PRC subsidiary, Jiangxi Yibo, was incorporated, does not have such a tax treaty with Mainland China. Hong Kong has a tax arrangement with Mainland China that provides for a 5% withholding tax on dividends subject to certain conditions and requirements, such as the requirement that the Hong Kong resident enterprise own at least 25% of the PRC enterprise distributing the dividend at all times within the 12-month period immediately preceding the distribution of dividends and be a "beneficial owner" of the dividends. Aster HK, which directly owns our Mainland PRC subsidiary, Jiangxi Yibo, is incorporated in Hong Kong. However, if Aster HK is not considered to be the beneficial owner of dividends paid to it by Jiangxi Yibo under the tax circulars promulgated in February and October 2009, such dividends would be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 10%. If our Mainland PRC subsidiary, Jiangxi Yibo, declares and distributes profits to us, such payments will be subject to withholding tax, which will increase our tax liability and reduce the amount of cash available to our Company.

***Products exported from our Mainland PRC subsidiaries' production base to the United States may be subject to high tariff rates under the trade war between the United States and the PRC, which could adversely affect our sales volumes, profitability and results of operations.***

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we derived revenue from offline sales in the U.S. amounting to approximately US$78.6 million, US$66.9 million and US$72.5 million, respectively, representing 56.6%, 48.8% and 46.7%, respectively, of our total revenue from offline sales for the respective years. In the event of any adverse actions taken by the U.S. with respect to continued trade or enactment of legislation that restricts trade with China, the operating subsidiaries will be subject to possible sales interruptions, cancellations of orders or increase in costs, and our revenue generated from the U.S. may decline as a result.

In February 2025, President Donald J. Trump declared a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") and announced the imposition of a 10% tariff on all imports from China, citing concerns related to trade imbalances and national security. These tariffs imposed under IEEPA were deemed unlawful. Following such ruling, a temporary 10% global tariff was imposed on imports under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. Separately, tariffs imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 remain unaffected by the Supreme Court's ruling and continue to apply to Chinese goods. As of February 2026, average U.S. tariff rates on Chinese goods were approximately 34%, excluding exemptions and Section 232 actions. These cumulative tariff measures were subsequently lifted following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Learning Resources in February 2026, which held that tariffs add to the existing duties imposed on Chinese goods, further increasing the cost burden on U.S. importers and potentially affecting demand for products sourced from the PRC. If these tariffs remain in place or are further escalated, the profitability and the ability of the operating subsidiaries to export their products from the PRC to the U.S. could be materially and adversely affected, and the operating entities may not be able to pass the increased costs to their customers. Any deterioration in the relationship between the U.S. and the PRC could further increase the costs of exported products to the U.S. for the operating subsidiaries or limit the ability of the operating subsidiaries to export their products to the U.S., which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***PRC regulations of loans and direct investment by offshore holding companies to Mainland PRC entities may delay or prevent us from using the proceeds of our offshore financing to make loans or additional capital contributions to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries, which could materially and adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund and expand our business.***

We may transfer funds to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries or finance our Mainland PRC subsidiaries by means of shareholders' loans or capital contributions. Any loans to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries, which are foreign-invested enterprises, cannot exceed a statutory limit, and shall be filed with the SAFE or its local counterparts. Furthermore, any capital contributions we make to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries shall be registered with the PRC State Administration for Market Regulation or its local counterparts and filed with the MOFCOM or its local counterparts.

On March 30, 2015, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Reforming the Administration Measures on Conversion of Foreign Exchange Registered Capital of Foreign-invested Enterprises, or SAFE Circular 19. SAFE Circular 19, however, allows foreign invested enterprises in Mainland China to use their registered capital settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies to make equity investments, but the registered capital of a foreign invested company settled in RMB converted from foreign currencies remains not allowed to be used, among other things, for investment in the security markets, or offering entrustment loans, unless otherwise regulated by other laws and regulations. On June 9, 2016, SAFE further issued the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Reforming and Regulating Policies on the Control over Foreign Exchange Settlement of Capital Accounts, or SAFE Circular 16, which, among other things, amended certain provisions of Circular 19. According to SAFE Circular 19 and SAFE Circular 16, the flow and use of the RMB capital converted from foreign currency-denominated registered capital of a foreign invested company is regulated such that Renminbi capital may not be used for purposes beyond its business scope or to provide loans to non-affiliates unless otherwise permitted under its business scope. On October 23, 2019, SAFE promulgated the Circular of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Promoting the Facilitation of Cross-Border Trade and Investment, or SAFE Circular 28, which removes the restrictions on domestic equity investments by non-investment foreign-invested enterprises with their capital funds, provided that certain conditions are met. The applicable foreign exchange circulars and rules may limit our ability to transfer the net proceeds from our securities offerings to our Mainland PRC subsidiaries and convert the net proceeds into RMB, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Restrictions on the remittance of Renminbi into and out of Mainland China and government control of currency conversion may limit our ability to pay dividends and other obligations and affect the value of your investment.***

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and the remittance of currency out of Mainland China. We receive a significant portion of our revenues in U.S. dollars. Despite that, we may still rely on dividend payments from our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to fund any additional cash and financing requirements we may have. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to us, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency denominated obligations.

Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments, and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior SAFE approval by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from or registration or filings with competent government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of Mainland China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. Pursuant to SAFE Circular 19, a foreign-invested enterprise may convert up to 100% of the foreign currency in its capital account into Renminbi on a discretionary basis according to the actual needs. The SAFE Circular 16 provides for an integrated standard for conversion of foreign exchange under capital account items on a discretionary basis, which applies to all enterprises registered in Mainland China. In addition, SAFE Circular 16 has narrowed the scope of purposes for which an enterprise must not use the Renminbi funds so converted, which include, among others, (i) payment for expenditure beyond its business scope or otherwise as prohibited by the applicable laws and regulations, (ii) investment in securities or other financial products other than banks' principal-secured products, (iii) provision of loans to non-affiliated enterprises, except where it is expressly permitted in the business scope of the enterprise, and (iv) construction or purchase of non-self-used real properties, except for real estate developers. The PRC government may at its discretion further restrict access to foreign currencies for current account transactions or capital account transactions in the future. If the foreign exchange control system prevents us from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy our foreign currency needs, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders. Further, there is no assurance that new regulations will not be promulgated in the future that would have the effect of further restricting the remittance of Renminbi into or out of Mainland China.

***Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses.***

The value of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar and other currencies fluctuates, is subject to changes resulting from the PRC government's policies and depends to a large extent on domestic and international economic and political developments as well as supply and demand in the local market. In July 2005, the PRC government changed its decades-old policy of pegging the value of Renminbi to the U.S. dollar, and Renminbi appreciated more than 20% against the U.S. dollar over the following three years. Between July 2008 and June 2010, this appreciation halted and the exchange rate between Renminbi and the U.S. dollar remained within a narrow band. Since June 2010, Renminbi has fluctuated against the U.S. dollar, at times significantly and unpredictably. With the development of the foreign exchange market and progress towards interest rate liberalization and Renminbi internationalization, the PRC government may in the future announce further changes to the exchange rate system and we cannot assure you that Renminbi will not appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the future. It is difficult to predict how market forces or PRC or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate between Renminbi and the U.S. dollar in the future.

Any depreciation of the Renminbi may adversely affect the value of, and any dividends payable on, our Class A ordinary shares in foreign currency. In addition, there are limited instruments available for us to reduce our foreign currency risk exposure at reasonable costs. All of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, and could reduce the value of, and dividends payable on, our Class A ordinary shares in foreign currency terms.

***The enforcement of the PRC Labor Contract Law and other labor-related regulations in Mainland PRC may adversely affect our business and results of operations.***

The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress enacted the Labor Contract Law in 2008 and amended it on December 28, 2012. The Labor Contract Law introduced specific provisions related to fixed-term employment contracts, part-time employment, probationary periods, consultation with labor unions and employee assemblies, employment without a written contract, dismissal of employees, severance, and collective bargaining to enhance previous PRC labor laws. Under the Labor Contract Law, an employer is obligated to sign an unlimited-term labor contract with any employee who has worked for the employer for ten consecutive years. Further, if an employee requests or agrees to renew a fixed term labor contract that has already been entered into twice consecutively, the resulting contract, with certain exceptions, must have an unlimited term, subject to certain exceptions. With certain exceptions, an employer must pay severance to an employee where a labor contract is terminated or expires. In addition, the PRC governmental authorities have continued to introduce various new labor-related regulations since the effectiveness of the Labor Contract Law.

Under the PRC Social Insurance Law and the Administrative Measures on Housing Fund, employees are required to participate in pension insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, and housing funds and employers are required, together with their employees or separately, to pay the social insurance premiums and housing funds for their employees. If our Mainland PRC subsidiaries fail to make adequate social insurance and housing fund contributions, they may be subject to fines and legal sanctions, and our business, financial conditions and results of operations may be adversely affected. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our Mainland PRC subsidiaries did not make adequate contributions to the social insurance and/or housing fund for certain employees as they voluntarily waived the contributions by our Mainland PRC subsidiaries. See "Business — Legal Proceedings." Our Mainland PRC subsidiaries received confirmations from relevant local authorities that they were not subject to any penalty for failing to make full contributions to the social insurance fund and housing fund during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

These laws designed to enhance labor protection tend to increase our labor costs. In addition, as the interpretation and implementation of these regulations are still evolving, our Mainland PRC subsidiaries' employment practices may not at all times be deemed in compliance with the regulations. As a result, our Mainland PRC subsidiaries could be subject to penalties or incur significant liabilities in connection with labor disputes or investigations.

 ****

***Mainland PRC laws and regulations establish more complex procedures for some acquisitions of Mainland PRC companies by foreign investors, which could make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions in Mainland China.***

A number of Mainland PRC laws and regulations, including the M&A Rules, the Anti-monopoly Law promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in August 2007, the Rules of Ministry of Commerce on Implementation of Security Review System of Mergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors promulgated by the Ministry of Commerce in August 2011, and the Measures for the Security Review of Foreign Investment promulgated by the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC, or NDRC and the Ministry of Commerce in December 2020 have established procedures and requirements that are expected to make merger and acquisition activities in Mainland China by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex. These include requirements in some instances that the approval from the Ministry of Commerce be obtained in circumstances where overseas companies established or controlled by Mainland PRC enterprises or residents acquire affiliated domestic companies. Mainland PRC laws and regulations also require certain merger and acquisition transactions involving an industry that implicates national security to be subject to merger control review or security review.

In the future, we may further grow our business by acquiring complementary businesses. Complying with the requirements of the above-mentioned regulations and other relevant rules to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the Ministry of Commerce or its local counterparts may delay or inhibit our ability to complete such transactions. It is unclear whether our business would be deemed to be in an industry that raises "national defense and security" or "national security" concerns. However, the Ministry of Commerce or other government agencies may publish explanations in the future determining that our business is in an industry subject to the security review, in which case our future acquisitions in Mainland China, including those by way of entering into contractual control arrangements with target entities, may be closely scrutinized or prohibited. Our ability to expand our business or maintain or expand our market share through future acquisitions would as such be materially and adversely affected.

***It may be difficult for overseas regulators to conduct investigation or collect evidence within China.***

Shareholder claims or regulatory investigations that are common in the United States 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 providing information needed for regulatory investigations or litigation initiated outside China. Although the 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 cooperation with the securities regulatory authorities in the United States may not be efficient in the absence of a mutual and practical cooperation mechanism. Furthermore, according to Article 177 of the PRC Securities Law, or Article 177, which became effective in March 2020, no overseas securities regulator is allowed to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within the territory of the PRC. While detailed interpretation of or implementation rules under Article 177 have yet to be promulgated, the inability for an overseas securities regulator to directly conduct investigation or evidence collection activities within China may further increase difficulties faced by you in protecting your interests. See also "— Risks Relating to the Class A ordinary shares and the Trading Market — 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" for risks associated with investing in us as a Cayman Islands company.

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

The Circular on Relevant Issues Relating to Domestic Resident's Investment and Financing and Roundtrip Investment through Special Purpose Vehicles, or SAFE Circular 37, was promulgated by the SAFE in July 2014 that requires Mainland PRC residents or entities to register with SAFE or its local branch, currently with local bank according to Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on Further Simplifying and Improving Policies for the Foreign Exchange Administration of Direct Investment issued by SAFE on February 13, 2015, in connection with their establishment or control of an offshore entity established for the purpose of overseas investment or financing. In addition, any Mainland PRC resident who is a direct or indirect shareholder of an offshore company is required to update the previously filed registration with the local branch of the SAFE, with respect to that offshore company, to reflect any material change involving its round-trip investment, capital variation, such as an increase or decrease in capital, transfer or swap of shares, merger, or division. These regulations apply to our shareholders who are Mainland PRC residents and may apply to any offshore acquisitions that we make in the future.

We have requested Mainland PRC residents holding direct or indirect interest in our Company to our knowledge to make the necessary applications, filings and amendments as required by applicable foreign exchange regulations. We are committed to complying with and to ensuring that our shareholders who are subject to the regulations will comply with the relevant SAFE rules and regulations. However, due to the inherent uncertainty in the implementation of the regulatory requirements by PRC authorities, such registration might not be always practically available in all circumstances as prescribed in those regulations. In addition, we may not always be able to compel them to comply with SAFE Circular 37 or other related regulations. We cannot assure you that the SAFE or its local branches will release explicit requirements or interpret the relevant Mainland PRC laws otherwise. Failure by any such shareholders to comply with SAFE Circular 37 may result in restrictions on the foreign exchange activities of the relevant Mainland PRC enterprise and may also subject the relevant Mainland PRC resident to penalties under the PRC foreign exchange administration regulations. To the best of our knowledge, our shareholders who are being subject to SAFE regulations have completed all necessary registrations required by the SAFE Circular 37.

 ****

***Any failure to comply with PRC regulations regarding the registration requirements for employee stock incentive plans may subject any Mainland PRC plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.***

In February 2012, SAFE promulgated the Notices on Issues Concerning the Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Stock Incentive Plan of Overseas Publicly-Listed Company, replacing earlier rules promulgated in 2007. Pursuant to these rules, Mainland PRC citizens and non-Mainland PRC citizens who reside in Mainland China for a continuous period of not less than one year who participate in any stock incentive plan of an overseas publicly listed company, subject to a few exceptions, are required to register with SAFE through a domestic qualified agent, which could be the Mainland PRC subsidiaries of such overseas-listed company, and complete certain other procedures. In addition, an overseas-entrusted institution must be retained to handle matters in connection with the exercise or sale of stock options and the purchase or sale of shares and interests. In the event that we adopt a share incentive plan in the future, we and our executive officers and other employees who are Mainland PRC citizens or who reside in Mainland China for a continuous period of not less than one year and who are granted options are subject to these regulations. Failure to complete SAFE registrations may subject them to fines of up to RMB300,000 for entities and up to RMB50,000 for individuals, and legal sanctions and may also limit our ability to contribute additional capital into our Mainland PRC subsidiaries and limit our Mainland PRC subsidiaries' ability to distribute dividends to us. We also face regulatory uncertainties that could restrict our ability to adopt additional incentive plans for our directors, executive officers and employees under Mainland PRC law.

In addition, the State Administration of Taxation of the PRC, or the SAT, has issued certain circulars concerning employee share options and restricted shares. Under these circulars, our employees working in Mainland China who exercise share options or are granted restricted shares will be subject to PRC individual income tax. Our Mainland PRC subsidiaries have obligations to file documents related to employee share options or restricted shares with relevant tax authorities and to withhold individual income taxes of those employees who exercise their share options. If our Mainland PRC subsidiaries' employees fail to pay or our Mainland PRC subsidiaries fail to withhold their income taxes according to relevant laws and regulations, our Mainland PRC subsidiaries may face sanctions imposed by the tax authorities or other PRC government authorities.

***The approval of relevant PRC regulatory authorities and compliance procedures may be required in connection with our future offerings and, we cannot predict whether we will be able to obtain such approval.***

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 Severe and Lawful Crackdown on Illegal Securities Activities, which was available to the public on July 6, 2021. These opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities and the supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies. These opinions proposed to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems, to deal with the risks and incidents facing China-based overseas-listed companies and the demand for cybersecurity and data privacy protection. Moreover, on December 28, 2021, the CAC and other relevant PRC governmental authorities jointly promulgated the Cybersecurity Review Measures which became effective on February 15, 2022, and replaced the original Cybersecurity Review Measures promulgated on April 13, 2020. In accordance with the Cybersecurity Review Measures, network platform operators holding more than one million users/users' individual information shall be subject to cybersecurity review before listing abroad.

On September 24, 2024, the State Council promulgated "Regulations on Network Data Security Management" which became effective on January 1, 2025. The Regulations on Network Data Security Management requests network data processors to comply with the obligation of cybersecurity protection when carrying out network data processing activities. A network data processor identified in the Regulations on Network Data Security Management refers to an individual and an organization that independently decides the processing purpose and method in network data processing activities. Meanwhile, the Regulations on Network Data Security Management also provides that if network data processors carry out network data processing activities that affect or may affect national security, they shall undergo a national security review in accordance with relevant national regulations. In the opinion of JunHe LLP, our PRC legal counsel, our business operations do not currently involve network data processing and therefore do not fall under the definition of "network data processors." JunHe LLP has advised us that we are not required to conduct national security review according to the Regulations on Network Data Security Management.

However, there remains uncertainties as to how the measures will be enacted, interpreted or implemented, and whether they will affect us. If we inadvertently conclude that the Cybersecurity Review Measures do not apply to us, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and it is determined in the future that Cybersecurity Review Measures become applicable to us, we may be subject to review when conducting data processing activities and may face challenges in addressing its requirements and make necessary changes to our internal policies and practices. We may incur substantial costs in complying with the Cybersecurity Review Measures, which could result in material adverse changes in our business operations and financial position. If we are not able to fully comply with the Cybersecurity Review Measures, our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be significantly limited or completely hindered, and our securities may significantly decline in value or become worthless.

As the aforementioned policies evolve and any related implementation rules are enacted, we may be subject to additional compliance requirement in the future. As these opinions were recently issued, official guidance and interpretation of the opinions remain unclear in several respects. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will remain fully compliant with all new regulatory requirements of these opinions or any future implementation rules on a timely basis, or at all.

***If we are classified as a Mainland PRC resident enterprise for Mainland PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-Mainland PRC shareholders.***

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, an enterprise established outside of Mainland PRC with its "de facto management body" within Mainland PRC is considered a "resident enterprise" and will be subject to PRC enterprise income tax on its global income at the rate of 25%. The implementation rules define the term "de facto management body" as the body that exercises full and substantial control and overall management over the business, productions, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise. In 2009, the SAT issued a circular ("SAT Circular 82"), which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the "de facto management body" of a Mainland PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is located in China. One of the criteria is that a company's major assets, accounting books and minutes and files of its board and shareholders' meetings are located or kept in Mainland PRC. In addition, the SAT issued Administrative Measures for Income Tax on Chinese-controlled Resident Enterprises Incorporated Overseas (Trial Implementation) on July 27, 2011, effective from September 1, 2011, providing more guidance on the implementation of the SAT Circular 82. This bulletin clarifies matters including residence status determination, post-determination administration and competent tax authorities. Although both the SAT Circular 82 and the bulletin only apply to offshore enterprises controlled by Mainland PRC enterprises or Mainland PRC enterprise groups, not those controlled by Mainland PRC individuals or foreigners, the criteria set forth in the circular may reflect the SAT's general position on how the "de facto management body" text should be applied in determining the tax resident status of all offshore enterprises.

We believe none of our entities outside of Mainland China is a Mainland 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." As substantially all of our management members are based in Mainland China, it remains unclear how the tax residency rule will apply to our case. If the PRC tax authorities determine that our Company or any of our subsidiaries outside of Mainland China is a Mainland PRC resident enterprise for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, then our Company or such subsidiary could be subject to Mainland PRC tax at a rate of 25% on its world-wide income, which could materially reduce our net income. In addition, we will also be subject to Mainland PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. Furthermore, if the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a PRC resident enterprise for enterprise income tax purposes, gains realized on the sale or other disposition of our Class A ordinary shares may be subject to Mainland PRC tax, at a rate of 10% in the case of non-Mainland PRC enterprises or 20% in the case of non-Mainland PRC individuals (in each case, subject to the provisions of any applicable tax treaty), if such gains are deemed to be from Mainland PRC sources. It is unclear whether non-Mainland PRC shareholders of our Company 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 Mainland PRC resident enterprise. Any such tax may reduce the returns on your investment in our Class A ordinary shares.

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

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. In addition, a substantial portion of our assets are located in Mainland China, and certain of our senior executive officers and directors, including our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Shaofang Weng, our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Quanmao Zhou, our Vice Presidents, Mr. Zhisheng Cheng and Mr. Qilong Yang, and our directors, Mr. Weidong Gu, Mr. Shaofang Weng, Ms. Fenglei Jiang, and Mr. Xinwei Xie, reside within Mainland China. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside Mainland China. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors as none of them currently resides in the United States or has substantial assets situated in the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Mainland China would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts against us or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state.

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

***We may be subject to uncertainty about any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong, and it is possible that most of the legal and operational risks associated with operating in Mainland PRC may also apply to operations in Hong Kong in the future.***

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we operated online retail stores on various platforms. Our revenue generated from online sales was US$11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, US$12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and US$15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, accounting for 7.6%, 8.6%, 9.8% of our total revenues for the respective period. On December 31, 2025, the Company entered into agreements for the sale of ten (10) wholly-owned subsidiary companies, which operated online stores in connection with the Company's overseas B2C business, to the Purchaser, as part of a strategic restructuring to streamline operations and optimize its business portfolio. Following the Disposition, as of the date of this annual report, through ASL, our Hong Kong subsidiary, we operate one (1) online retail store on the Walmart platform, through which we sell remaining pre-Disposition toner cartridge and household product inventory. Upon the sale of all remaining inventory, such online store will cease operations.

Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law, namely, Hong Kong's constitutional document, which provides Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of "one country, two systems". We cannot assure you that there will not be any changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong. We may be subject to uncertainty about any future actions of the PRC government and is possible that most of the legal and operational risks associated with operating in Mainland PRC may also apply to our operations in Hong Kong in the future. The PRC government may intervene or influence our current and future operations in Hong Kong at any time and exert more influence over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. Such government actions, if and when they occur, could result in a material change in our operations in Hong Kong.

 ****

***Our operations in Hong Kong are governed by the laws and regulations in Hong Kong. If there is significant change to current political arrangements between Mainland China and Hong Kong, the PRC government may intervene or influence our Hong Kong operations, which could result in a material change in our operations in Hong Kong.***

In Hong Kong, our operations are governed by applicable Hong Kong laws and regulations, including Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter 310 of the Laws of Hong Kong), Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong), Sale of Goods Ordinance (Chapter 26 of the Laws of Hong Kong), Control of Exemption Clauses Ordinance (Chapter 71 of the Laws of Hong Kong), and Trade Descriptions Ordinance (Chapter 362 of the Laws of Hong Kong), among others. See "Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview Regulation — Overview of Hong Kong Laws and Regulations" for details. As of the date of this annual report, our business operations in Hong Kong are only required to comply with the Hong Kong laws and regulations. The PRC government has recently initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in Mainland China with little advance notice. We do not currently expect such statements by the PRC government would have any specific impact on our business operations in Hong Kong. If there is any change in political arrangements between Mainland China and Hong Kong, it would affect the business environment in Hong Kong generally and could result in a material change in our operations in Hong Kong.

***To the extent cash in the business is in the Mainland PRC/Hong Kong or a Mainland PRC/Hong Kong entity, the funds may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the Mainland PRC/Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of our Company or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash.***

Relevant Mainland PRC laws and regulations permit the companies in Mainland PRC to pay dividends only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with Mainland PRC accounting standards and regulations. Additionally, each of the companies in Mainland PRC are 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. The companies in Mainland PRC are also required to further set aside a portion of their after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund, although the amount to be set aside, if any, is determined at their discretion. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, in order for us to pay dividends to our shareholders, we may rely on payments made from our Mainland PRC subsidiaries or Hong Kong subsidiaries to their respective shareholders and then to our Company. If our Mainland PRC subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to us.

Our cash dividends, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars. If we are considered a tax resident enterprise of Mainland PRC for tax purposes, any dividends we pay to our overseas shareholders may be regarded as Mainland China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to Mainland PRC withholding tax. See "— If we are classified as a Mainland PRC resident enterprise for Mainland PRC income tax purposes, such classification could result in unfavorable tax consequences to us and our non-Mainland PRC shareholders." The PRC government also imposes controls on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of Mainland PRC. Shortages in foreign currencies we have may restrict our ability to pay dividends or other payments, or otherwise satisfy our foreign currency denominated obligations, if any. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade-related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange as long as certain procedural requirements are met. Approval from appropriate government authorities is required if Renminbi is converted into foreign currency and remitted out of Mainland PRC to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may, at its discretion, impose restrictions on access to foreign currencies for current account transactions and if this continues to occur in the future, we may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to our shareholders.

As of the date of this annual report, there are no restrictions or limitations imposed by the Hong Kong government on the transfer of capital within, into, and out of Hong Kong (including funds from Hong Kong to Mainland China), except for the transfer of funds involving money laundering and criminal activities. However, there is no guarantee that the Hong Kong government will not promulgate new laws or regulations that may impose such restrictions in the future. If there is a significant change to current political arrangements between Mainland China and Hong Kong, or the applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change, our Hong Kong subsidiaries may become subject to PRC laws or authorities. As a result, our Hong Kong subsidiaries could be subject to similar government controls on the convertibility of foreign currency and the remittance of currency out of Hong Kong as described above.

As a result of the above, to the extent cash in the business is in the Mainland PRC/Hong Kong or a Mainland PRC/Hong Kong entity, such funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the Mainland PRC/Hong Kong, due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of us or our subsidiaries by the competent government to the transfer of cash.

**Risks Relating to Our Class A ordinary shares and the Trading Market**

***Nasdaq has recently adopted and proposed new listing rules that could result in the accelerated delisting of our Class A ordinary shares.***

 ****

Nasdaq has recently adopted and proposed several new continued listing requirements that could subject our Class A ordinary shares to accelerated suspension and delisting proceedings, with limited or no opportunity to cure noncompliance.

*Amended Minimum Bid Price Rule (Effective January 19, 2026)*. Nasdaq amended its minimum bid price rules, effective January 19, 2026, such that if a listed security's closing bid price falls below $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will immediately issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 and the company will be ineligible for any compliance period that would otherwise be available. Prior to this amendment, an immediate delisting determination could only be issued after a company's security had already been non-compliant with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for 30 consecutive trading days. Nasdaq adopted this change on the basis that a rapid decline in a security's price to below $0.10 is indicative of deep financial or operational distress that is unlikely to be temporary.

*Proposed Minimum Market Value Requirement (SR-NASDAQ-2026-004, Pending SEC Approval)*. Nasdaq has proposed a new rule that would require listed companies on the Nasdaq Global Market and Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities of at least $5 million. Failure to satisfy this requirement for 30 consecutive business days would result in immediate suspension and delisting without a standard compliance period. Under the proposed rule, any automatic stay of suspension during an appeal would be eliminated, meaning our securities would likely trade over-the-counter while any appeal is pending.

*Proposed Discretionary Delisting Authority (SR-NASDAQ-2026-009, Pending SEC Approval)*. Nasdaq has also proposed granting itself discretionary authority to immediately delist securities if the SEC has suspended trading due to potential third-party misconduct.

If our Class A ordinary shares are delisted from Nasdaq for any reason, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Delisting would likely cause the trading volume and liquidity of our Class A ordinary shares to decline significantly, as many institutional investors are prohibited by their investment mandates from holding securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange. Our Class A ordinary shares would likely be traded on the over-the-counter markets, where investors may find it more difficult to obtain timely and accurate information about our company and where the trading market may be significantly less liquid than Nasdaq. The reduction in liquidity could cause the trading price of our Class A ordinary shares to decline materially. In addition, delisting could impair our ability to raise capital through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities, as investors and underwriters may be unwilling to participate in offerings of securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange. Delisting could also trigger defaults or acceleration provisions under any existing or future debt instruments or agreements, and could impair our ability to attract and retain employees, customers, and business partners who may view a Nasdaq listing as an indicator of our financial stability and credibility. Furthermore, the delisting of our Class A ordinary shares could result in negative publicity and erode investor confidence in our company, which could have a long-term adverse impact on our business prospects and the value of your investment.

 ****

***The trading price of our Class A ordinary shares is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.***

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

● actual or anticipated variations in our revenues, earnings, cash flow, and changes or revisions of our expected results;

● fluctuations in operating metrics;

● announcements of new investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or joint ventures by us or our competitors;

● announcements of new products and services and expansions by us or our competitors;

● changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

● announcements of studies and reports relating to the quality of our product and service offerings or those of our competitors;

● changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other companies in our industry;

● detrimental negative publicity about us, our competitors, or our industry;

● additions or departures of key personnel;

● regulatory developments affect us or our industry;

● general economic or political conditions in China or elsewhere in the world;

● fluctuations of exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. dollar or between Euros and the U.S. dollar; and

● potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which Class A ordinary shares will trade. Furthermore, the stock market in general experiences price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies like us. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our Class A ordinary shares. Volatility or a lack of positive performance in the price of our Class A ordinary shares may also adversely affect our ability to retain key employees, most of whom have been granted equity incentives.

In the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against 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.

 ****

***We may experience extreme share 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 Class A ordinary shares.***

In recent years, there have been 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 Class A 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 stock-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 Class A ordinary shares.

In addition, if the trading volumes of our Class A ordinary shares are low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence prices of our Class A ordinary shares. This low volume of trades could also cause the price of our Class A ordinary shares to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Holders of our Class A ordinary shares may also not be able to readily liquidate their investment or may be forced to sell at depressed prices due to low volume trading. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of our Class A ordinary shares. As a result of this volatility, investors may experience losses on their investment in our Class A ordinary shares. A decline in the market price of our Class A ordinary shares also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional Class A ordinary shares or other securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future. No assurance can be given that an active market in our Class A ordinary shares will develop or be sustained. If an active market does not develop, holders of our Class A ordinary shares may be unable to readily sell the shares they hold or may not be able to sell their shares at all.

 ****

***Our dual class voting structure will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any change of control transactions that holders of our Class A ordinary shares may view as beneficial.***

Our authorized share capital is divided into Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote per share, while holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to 30 votes per share. Each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof, while Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances. The holder of Class B ordinary shares has the ability to control matters requiring shareholders' approval, including any amendment of our memorandum and articles of association. Any future issuances of Class B ordinary shares may be dilutive to the voting power of holders of Class A ordinary shares. Any conversions of Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares may dilute the percentage ownership of the existing holders of Class A ordinary shares within their class of ordinary shares. Such conversions may increase the aggregate voting power of the existing holders of Class A ordinary shares. In the event that we have multiple holders of Class B ordinary shares in the future and certain of them convert their Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares, the remaining holders who retain their Class B ordinary shares may experience increases in their relative voting power.

Mr. Weidong Gu, our founder and chairman of the board of directors, beneficially owns 100% of our issued Class B ordinary shares. These Class B ordinary shares constitutes 44.43% of our total issued and outstanding share capital and 96.00% of the aggregate voting power of our total issued and outstanding share capital due to the disparate voting powers associated with our dual class share structure. As a result of the dual class share structure and the concentration of ownership, holders of Class B ordinary shares have considerable influence over matters such as decisions regarding mergers and consolidations, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. Such holders may take actions that are not in the best interest of us or our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could have the effect of depriving our other shareholders of the opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and may reduce the price of our Class A ordinary shares. This concentrated control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any potential merger, takeover or other change of control transactions that holders of Class A ordinary shares may view as beneficial.

 ****

***The dual-class structure of our ordinary shares may adversely affect the trading market for our Class A ordinary shares.***

Certain shareholder advisory firms have announced changes to their eligibility criteria for inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, including the S&P 500, to exclude companies with multiple classes of shares and companies whose public shareholders hold no more than 5% of total voting power from being added to such indices. In addition, several shareholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class structures. As a result, the dual-class structure of our ordinary shares may prevent the inclusion of our Class A ordinary shares in such indices and may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any such exclusion from indices could result in a less active trading market for our Class A ordinary shares. Any actions or publications by shareholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could also adversely affect the value of our Class A ordinary shares.

 ****

***If securities or industry analysts cease to publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding the Class A ordinary shares, the market price for the Class A ordinary shares and trading volume could decline.***

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

 ****

***We currently do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and you must rely on price appreciation of our Class A ordinary shares for return on your investment.***

We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our Class A ordinary shares as a source for any future dividend income.

Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our Class A ordinary shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Class A ordinary shares. There is no guarantee that our Class A ordinary shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased the Class A ordinary shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our Class A ordinary shares and you may even lose your entire investment in our Class A ordinary shares.

 ****

***Substantial future sales or perceived potential sales of our Class A ordinary shares in the public market could cause the price of our Class A ordinary shares to decline.***

Sales of our Class A ordinary shares in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Class A ordinary shares to decline. All Class A ordinary shares sold in our initial public offering are freely transferable without restriction or additional registration under the Securities Act. The remaining Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding are available for sale, subject to volume and other restrictions as applicable provided in Rules 144 and 701 under the Securities Act. To the extent shares are sold into the market, the market price of our Class A ordinary shares could decline.

Certain holders of our Class A ordinary shares may cause us to register under the Securities Act the sale of their shares. Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in these Class A ordinary shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of such registration. Sales of these registered shares in the public market could cause the price of our Class A ordinary shares to decline.

 ****

***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. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands, and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from the common law of England, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedents 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 (other than the memorandum and articles of association and any special resolutions passed by such companies, and the register of mortgages and charges of such companies) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Our directors have discretion under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a result of all of the above, our public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of our board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see "Item 10. Additional Information — B. Memorandum and Articles of Association — Differences in Corporate Law."

 ****

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

We are a Cayman Islands company and a substantial amount of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, all of our current directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against these individuals in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and of Mainland China may render you unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our directors and officers.

 ****

***There can be no assurance that we will not be a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, which could subject United States holders of our Class A ordinary shares to significant adverse United States federal income tax consequences.***

A non-United States corporation will be PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income for such taxable year is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that that produce or are held for the production of passive income. Based on the current and anticipated value of our assets and the composition of our income assets, we do not expect to be a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2026 or in the foreseeable future. However, the determination of whether or not we are a PFIC according to the PFIC rules is made on an annual basis and depend on the composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time. Therefore, changes in the composition of our income or assets or value of our assets may cause us to become a PFIC. The determination of the value of our assets (including goodwill not reflected on our balance sheet) may be based, in part, on the quarterly market value of Class A ordinary shares, which is subject to change and may be volatile.

The classification of certain of our income as active or passive, and certain of our assets as producing active or passive income, and hence whether we are or will become a PFIC, depends on the interpretation of certain United States Treasury Regulations as well as certain IRS guidance relating to the classification of assets as producing active or passive income. Such regulations guidance is potentially subject to different interpretations. If due to different interpretations of such regulations and guidance the percentage of our passive income or the percentage of our assets treated as producing passive income increases, we may be a PFIC in one of more taxable years.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a United States person holds Class A ordinary shares, certain adverse United States federal income tax consequences could apply to such United States person. For more information see "Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC") Consequences*.*"

 ****

***For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.***

We are classified as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act because we generated less than US$1.235 billion in revenues for our last fiscal year. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be up to five full fiscal years, unlike other public companies, we will not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer, (iii) provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies, or (iv) hold nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if we have more than $1.235 billion of revenues in a fiscal year, have more than $700 million in market value of our Class A ordinary shares held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

To the extent that we rely on any of the exemptions available to emerging growth companies, you will receive less information about our executive compensation and internal control over financial reporting than issuers that are not emerging growth companies. If some investors find our Class A ordinary shares to be less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A ordinary shares and our share price may be more volatile.

 ****

***If we fail to establish and maintain proper internal financial reporting controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.***

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we will be required to file a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting, including an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. However, while we remain an emerging growth company, we will not be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by our independent registered public accounting firm. The presence of material weakness in internal control over financial reporting could result in financial statement errors, which, in turn, could lead to error our financial reports and/or delays in our financial reporting, which could require us to restate our operating results. We might not identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal controls in connection with evaluating our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. We will need to expend significant resources and provide significant management oversight. Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may require specific compliance training of our directors and employees, entail substantial costs in order to modify our existing accounting systems, take a significant period of time to complete and divert management's attention from other business concerns. These changes may not, however, be effective in maintaining the adequacy of our internal control.

If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in our operating results, the price of the Class A ordinary shares could decline, and we may be subject to litigation or regulatory enforcement actions. In addition, if we are unable to meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Class A ordinary shares may not be able to remain listed on the exchange.

***As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from the Nasdaq listing standards. These practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with corporate governance listing standards.***

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to take advantage of certain provisions in the Nasdaq listing standards that allow us to follow Cayman Islands law for certain governance matters. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands may differ significantly from corporate governance listing standards as, except for general fiduciary duties and duties of care, Cayman Islands law has no corporate governance regime which prescribes specific corporate governance standards. Currently, we do not intend to rely on home country practice with respect to our corporate governance. However, if we choose to follow home country practice in the future, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

 ****

***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 U.S. domestic public companies.***

Because we qualify as 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 with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K;

● 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 containing short-swing profit recovery provisions; and

● the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD.

We are required to file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the end of each fiscal year. 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 that would be made available to you were you investing in a U.S. domestic issuer.

 ****

***We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company, particularly after we cease to qualify as an "emerging growth company."***

We are a public company and expect to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq Stock Market, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some corporate activities more time-consuming and costly.

As a result of becoming a public company, we will need to increase the number of independent directors and adopt policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. We also expect that operating as a public company will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these rules and regulations, and we cannot predict or estimate with any degree of certainty the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

In addition, after we are no longer an "emerging growth company," we expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the other rules and regulations of the SEC.

 ****

***We may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.***

As discussed above, we are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer's most recently completed second fiscal quarter. We would lose our foreign private issuer status if, for example, more than 50% of our Class A ordinary shares are directly or indirectly held by residents of the U.S. and we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to maintain our foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status on this date, we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we will lose our ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the Nasdaq listing rules. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, we will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we will not incur as a foreign private issuer, and accounting, reporting and other expenses in order to maintain a listing on a U.S. securities exchange.

 ****

***The obligation to disclose information publicly may put us at a disadvantage to competitors that are private companies.***

We are a public company in the United States. As a public company, we are required to file periodic reports with the SEC upon the occurrence of matters that are material to our Company and shareholders. Although we may be able to attain confidential treatment of some of our developments, in some cases, we need to disclose material agreements or results of financial operations that we would not be required to disclose if we were a private company. Our competitors may have access to this information, which would otherwise be confidential. This may give them advantages in competing with our Company. Similarly, as a U.S. public company, we will be governed by U.S. laws that our competitors, which are mostly private Chinese companies, are not required to follow. To the extent compliance with U.S. laws increases our expenses or decreases our competitiveness against such companies, our public company status could affect our results of operations.

**Item 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY**

**A. <u>History and Development of the Company</u>**

**Our Corporate History**

Our founders, Mr. Weidong Gu, Mr. Shaofang Weng, Mr. Zhisheng Cheng and Mr. Qilong Yang and other shareholders established our operating subsidiaries, Jiangxi Yibo in January 2011 and Aster BVI in February 2011, respectively. In March 2011, Aster US was formed in the State of California as a limited liability company, which later served as our sales headquarter for the North American market. Aster US functions as a wholesaler and distributor and interacts with retailers, resellers, and dealers in the North American market. Since its inception, Aster US has focused its operations on the offline sales to customers and dealers in the North American market and has not conducted any e-commerce related business. In July 2011, Aster NL was formed in the Netherlands as a limited liability company, which later became our headquarter serving mainly the European market. In February 2012, through the operating subsidiaries, we commenced our operations of our first online retail store on Amazon. Since 2012, Mr. Weidong Gu assumed leadership of our operations. Mr. Gu had a strong vision to seize the potential business opportunity in the compatible toner cartridge industry and led our Company with a focus on research and development, patent protection, manufacturing operations as well as overseas sales operations. Through Mr. Weidong Gu and the management team's continuous leadership and contributions over the years, we have expanded our footprint to North America and European markets through the operating subsidiaries. Through the operating subsidiaries, we currently own over 400 registered patents in the U.S., Europe and the PRC for the production process, equipment and proprietary technologies we developed relating to the manufacture of our compatible toner cartridges. As of the date of this annual report, we operate one (1) online retail store on the Walmart platform through ASL, our operating subsidiary in Hong Kong, which sells remaining pre-Disposition toner cartridge and household product inventory. Upon the sale of all remaining inventory, such online store will cease operations. See also "—Recent Development."

In August 2019, Aster Group International, whose name was later changed to Planet Image International Limited, was formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands as our offshore holding company to facilitate offshore financing.

From July 2019 to March 2020, in anticipation of our initial public offering, we completed a series of reorganizational steps.

**Our Corporate Structure**

The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure as of the date of this annual report, including our principal subsidiaries and other entities that are material to our business:

**B. <u>Business Overview</u>**

**Overview**

 ****

***Our Mission***

Our mission is to deliver high-quality and cost-effective printing solutions to consumers around the world with proprietary technology, research and development capabilities and integrated and localized sales, logistics and service platform.

 ****

 ****

***Who we are***

Through the operating subsidiaries, we are a leading export-oriented manufacturer and seller of compatible toner cartridges based in China, North America and Europe.

Through the operating subsidiaries, we primarily develop and manufacture toner cartridges that are compatible with and can be used in a wide range of commonly available models of laser printers from different manufacturers, on a white-label or third-party brand basis. Through the operating subsidiaries, we also sell self-branded products in the domestic PRC market under two brands, Shiyin and Tiancai. Customers of the operating subsidiaries range from wholesalers, dealers to retail customers. Through the operating subsidiaries, we have a wide international footprint through established sales channels, with products sold to customers in over 54 countries, and sales in North America and Europe representing the majority of our revenue.

Through the operating subsidiaries, we sell our products mainly: (i) to offline overseas customers who own their brands on an ODM basis; (ii) to offline overseas dealers who primarily sell our white-label products to end consumers; (iii) to domestic dealers in the PRC who primarily sell our white-label products and our self-branded products to end customers; and (iv) through ASL, directly to customers on a retail basis through one (1) online retail store on the Walmart platform, selling remaining pre-Disposition toner cartridge and household product inventory. Upon the sale of all remaining inventory, such online store will cease operations. There is no major difference in terms of product capability between ODM products and white-label products, and the main difference lies in product packaging and pricing.

Through the operating subsidiaries, we have established localized sales operations in the overseas markets to manage and maintain relationships with local customers and provide support to offline customer purchasing the operating subsidiaries' self-branded products and products offered by the operating subsidiaries on an ODM basis. So far, the operating subsidiaries have established sales operations in the U.S., Italy, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. In addition, the operating subsidiaries maintain warehouses in California and South Carolina in the U.S. and in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and Italy to ensure timely delivery to customers. In North America, most customers of the operating subsidiaries send purchase orders to us through the EDI system maintained by the operating subsidiaries. The operating subsidiaries also have a self-developed cloud-based warehouse management system which was integrated with their EDI system and third-party platform to manage the purchase orders, inventory and accounting matters. Offline customers of the operating subsidiaries in Europe and other markets generally place purchase orders with the sales team of the operating subsidiaries through emails.

We believe the operating subsidiaries' strong design, research and development capabilities represent a key strength that allows the operating subsidiaries to provide patent-compliant products with advanced technologies to their customers. After a new printer model is introduced to the market by a printer manufacturer, the experienced research and development team of the operating subsidiaries will aim to design patent compliant compatible toner cartridges that can be used with this new printer model in a short period of time. With their efficient production team and sales team, the operating subsidiaries are generally able to make their compatible toner cartridges available for sale within three to six months after the launch of a new printer model. We believe that the short time-to-market for the products of the operating subsidiaries is a key competitive advantage.

We believe that the integrated business model of the operating subsidiaries, encompassing a value chain from our research and development, patented technology, manufacturing, and operating localized sales branches and online sales channels allows the operating subsidiaries to capture industry opportunities in a timely manner and provides us with significant growth potential.

 ****

***What have we accomplished***

We have experienced significant growth since our inception. Our growth is partially attributable to our comprehensive sales strategy and our highly efficient and complementary sales channels. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our revenue was primarily generated from North America and Europe. Our revenue decreased from US$150.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$149.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a CAGR of 0.3%. Our net profit decreased from US$7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a CAGR of 8.5%. Our revenue increased from US$149.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$155.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing a CAGR of 3.6%. Our net result declined by US$15.0 million, from a net profit of US$7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to a net loss of US$8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Competitive Strengths**

We believe that the following strengths differentiate the operating subsidiaries from their competitors.

 ****

***Strong design, research and development capabilities and extensive patent portfolio provide significant competitive advantages over industry peers***

We believe the operating subsidiaries' strong design, research and development capabilities represent a key strength that allows them to provide patent-compliant products with advanced technologies to their customers.

As leading original-brand printer companies have patented the toner cartridge drivers in their laser printers, compatible cartridge manufacturers may encounter litigations raised by original-brand printer companies for selling their cartridges unless they possess valid patents. There is a limited number of companies which have overseas sales due to the lack of quality patents to protect them. Overseas customers may also hesitate to purchase their products as they might get involved in infringement litigation. As of December 31, 2025, through the operating subsidiaries, we had obtained 409 patents registered in the U.S., Europe, and the PRC, for the production processes, equipment and proprietary technologies the operating subsidiaries developed relating to the manufacture of compatible toner cartridges. All of the operating subsidiaries' compatible toner cartridges are covered by some of their patents. Through registering their patents, (i) the operating subsidiaries are able to protect and enforce their rights on their proprietary techniques and products and have reasonable grounds to defend, on a best effort basis, against potential litigations in the relevant jurisdictions; and (ii) the operating subsidiaries' registered patents can help them promote their sales and increase their market share.

As of December 31, 2025, the operating subsidiaries' research and development team consisted of a total of 134 professional engineers and skilled technicians, who were supervised and led by the chairman of our board of directors, Mr. Weidong Gu, who has over 20 years of experience in the compatible toner cartridge industry. On average, major brands launch more than two new printer models every year. After a new printer model is introduced to the market, the operating subsidiaries' experienced research and development team is generally able to design patent compliant compatible toner cartridges for it quickly that may be operated in this new printer model within a short period of time after its introduction to the market. Together with their efficient production team, the operating subsidiaries' sales team ensures that their patent compliant compatible toner cartridges are generally available for sale within three to six months after the launch of a new printer model. We believe that the short time-to-market for the operating subsidiaries' products is a key competitive advantage as it enables the operating subsidiaries' toner cartridges to quickly meet up market demand and establish and maintain our market share.

Other than new product development, the operating subsidiaries' research and development efforts also focus on improving the efficiency and quality of compatible toner cartridges in different aspects, such as page yield, wear resistance, resilience and life span. The operating subsidiaries conduct market research in particular areas, and based on the regular market research, the operating subsidiaries will run different tests and technical review for identifying weaknesses in their previous products and to implement improvements in future models.

We protect the operating subsidiaries' patents from infringement and improper patent right requests from third parties. In addition, through the operating subsidiaries, we have also engaged independent third-party intellectual property lawyers in the U.S. and Europe who advise the operating subsidiaries in defending their intellectual property rights.

We believe that the operating subsidiaries' strong research and development capabilities and extensive patent portfolio provide significant competitive advantages over their industry peers and will be instrumental in their efforts to expand market coverage and increase their overall sales.

 ****

***Localized sales model integrating multiple channels, including strategically located sales offices and logistic centers in the U.S. and Europe, enable the operating subsidiaries to build a broad end user customer base and achieve fast product delivery***

Through the operating subsidiaries, we have established a comprehensive sales model integrating multiple sales channels, which enables the operating subsidiaries to build a wide geographical market coverage and a broad customer base including wholesalers, dealers and retail customers. Through the operating subsidiaries, we sell our products: (i) to overseas businesses who own their brands on an ODM basis, or ODM customers; (ii) to overseas dealers, who primarily resell white-label products to end consumers, primarily including small to medium size enterprises, local offices and schools; (iii) to domestic dealers in the PRC who primarily sell our white-label products and our self-branded products to end customers; and (iv) through ASL, directly to customers on a retail basis through one (1) online retail store on the Walmart platform, selling remaining pre-Disposition toner cartridge and household product inventory until such inventory is fully sold.

As one of the very few toner cartridge manufacturers based in China that are mainly focused on North American and European markets, through the operating subsidiaries, we have well-established localized sales and distribution operations within those markets. We believe that the operating subsidiaries are well-positioned to capture the significant market opportunities, continue to increase our total revenue and profit, and further expand our market share. North America and Europe have each experienced steady growth in the global compatible toner cartridge market.

The operating subsidiaries' localized sales operations include sales support team, strategically located warehouses and sophisticated order placing, warehouse management and logistic systems. The operating subsidiaries normally ship their inventories from factories in Mainland China to their strategically located warehouses in the U.S. and Europe based on the expected demand in each of the markets. To manage and support the overseas sales, the operating subsidiaries established their headquarters for Europe in the Netherlands in 2011 and further established sales office in each major market in Europe including the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and France for further increasing their presence and market penetration. The operating subsidiaries maintain warehouses in California and South Carolina in the U.S., the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France and Italy with sophisticated warehouse and logistics systems and professional logistic teams to ensure timely delivery from local warehouses to customers after they place orders. The operating subsidiaries also have their own highly experienced salesforces on the ground for our North American and European markets to serve and manage the local offline customers and provide support to offline customers procuring their ODM products respectively. Business customers of the operating subsidiaries procuring their ODM products and online retail customers are mainly served by the operating subsidiaries' 24-hour sales teams based in their sales headquarter in Zhongshan City in the PRC. As of December 31, 2025, the operating subsidiaries had after-sales and technical service teams of 112 employees, with 70 of them working according to the office hours of the overseas time zones to provide timely service to these customers, which we believe significantly enhances their user experience and promotes customer loyalty. In addition, the operating subsidiaries provide drop ship service to small scale dealers whereby the operating subsidiaries deliver the products on the dealers' behalf directly to the end customers procured by these dealers, which help to strengthen the operating subsidiaries' collaborative relationship with these dealers.

We believe that the comprehensive sales channel coverage, advanced sales and logistics systems and customized services of the operating subsidiaries appeal to their customers and help the operating subsidiaries build a broad customer base. We believe that a key advantage the operating subsidiaries have that distinguishes them from their industry peers is that the operating subsidiaries have fully developed localized sales operations on the ground in the U.S. and Europe as well as sales team in their sales headquarter in Zhongshan City in the PRC staffed with experienced sales personnel who contact and serve customers directly and provide valued-added customer service in both logistics and after sale customer service to meet the local customers' demand in a timely manner. Through the operating subsidiaries' localized broad sales network and close cooperative relationships with their major customers, the operating subsidiaries are able to gauge market demand for their products more accurately and manage sales of their products in the local market more efficiently.

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries' advanced IT systems enable them to capture opportunities in the local compatible toner cartridge market and operate their sales efficiently***

As the size of online compatible toner cartridge market grows, an increasing number of overseas local wholesalers and dealers have started to expand their business to online sales platforms and achieve business growth from their sales online. The operating subsidiaries also utilize advanced IT systems for their offline sales by delivering services to local wholesalers and dealers with online retail businesses. The operating subsidiaries have developed an internet-based quick order system for customers including local wholesalers and dealers to facilitate these customers' handling of orders, logistics and payments. The operating subsidiaries' offline customers in the North American market generally use electronic data interchange system, or EDI system, to send purchase orders to the operating subsidiaries. The operating subsidiaries' strong in–house IT team have self-developed a cloud-based warehouse management system which seamlessly connected with many third-party platforms in the U.S. for handling orders online. The operating subsidiaries provide these offline customers with automatic updates of logistics and payment information for improving the operational efficiency of their customers. Revenue derived from our offline sales channels increased from US$79.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing 52.9% of our total revenue for that year to US$85.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing 57.3% of our total revenue for that year, and decreased to US$72.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, representing 46.9% of our total revenue for that year.

 ****

***The operating subsidiaries are dedicated to ensuring quality of their products and delivering excellent customer service***

We believe that the quality and reliability of the operating subsidiaries' products coupled with their localized customer service are vital in maintaining customer loyalty and upholding the operating subsidiaries' reputation. The operating subsidiaries' quality control system covers the entire production process, from the selection of suppliers and procurement of raw materials to production, quality and reliability assurance. The operating subsidiaries have a dedicated quality control department comprising 41 experienced engineers, supervisors and inspectors as of December 31, 2025. The operating subsidiaries' commitment to maintaining the high quality of their products is demonstrated by the certifications the operating subsidiaries have obtained from International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, International Imaging Technology Council, and Shenzhen United Testing Technology Co., Ltd., in respect of quality control and safety measures. In addition, the operating subsidiaries' products are typically required to adhere to the transportation standard of International Safe Transit Association ("ISTA") Procedure 1A, reliability standard of MIL-HDBK-3388 and testing standard of ISO/IEC 19752 and ISO/IEC 19798, and the internal quality standards of our customers. See "— Manufacturing and Quality Assurance — Quality Assurance" below for details. Low product return rates reflect the high quality of the operating subsidiaries' products. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the total value of products returned amounted to US$4.4 million, US$4.5 million and US$4.2 million, respectively, representing approximately 2.9%, 3.0% and 2.7% of our total revenue generated for the corresponding years. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, there were no material product recalls, product returns, product liability claims or customer complaints that adversely affected our business.

In addition, the operating subsidiaries are committed to providing premium customer service quality to their customers. The operating subsidiaries have a dedicated team that provides customer and technical services to their customers, available 24/7 to address the queries and complaints regarding the operating subsidiaries' products and services from customers. The operating subsidiaries' ODM customers may also directly reach out to the operating subsidiaries' local sales team for any follow-up works for the orders placed by the operating subsidiaries. In addition, the operating subsidiaries maintain generous product return and exchange policies, allowing the operating subsidiaries' customers to order from them with ease of mind. See "— Customer Service."

We believe that the operating subsidiaries' emphasis on product quality and customer service has contributed to their success in gaining their customers' confidence in their products and enhanced their position in the markets.

 ****

***We have a strong, stable and experienced senior management team***

We have a professional and experienced senior management team with a proven track record of highly successful results. Members of our core management team have deep expertise and experience in toner cartridge manufacturing and corporate management. They all have over 20 years of experience in our industry and have been with our Company since our foundation. Mr. Weidong Gu, our founder and chairman of the board of directors, has over 20 years of experience in the compatible toner cartridge industry.

We believe that our strong management capability as evidenced by our growth since our inception and the expansion of our operations worldwide, together with the extensive intellectual property portfolio and research and development capabilities of the operating subsidiaries, will enable us to strengthen the operating subsidiaries' existing operations in all of their markets and successfully expand into additional geographical markets.

**Growth Strategies**

We plan to implement the following growth strategies through the operating subsidiaries:

 ****

***Increase research and development efforts***

The global compatible toner cartridge market is characterized by rapid technological development and continual introduction of new models. As a specialized manufacturer of compatible toner cartridges, our future success depends largely on the ability of the operating subsidiaries to continually update and launch new products that can be used in updated or new printer models that come to the market from time to time. The operating subsidiaries' research and development capabilities have been instrumental to the quality and time-to-market of their products, which are the operating subsidiaries' key strengths. The operating subsidiaries intend to increase research and development efforts to improve their product quality and strengthen their competitive advantages, particularly in the areas of production automation, and to form strategic partnerships with chip suppliers and developers to enhance chip technology capabilities and support the timely development of compatible toner cartridges for new printer models.

***Upgrade and integrate the operating subsidiaries' information systems to optimize their operational efficiency***

In order to improve their operational efficiency and leverage advanced technologies to support their business operations, the operating subsidiaries have purchased a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning, or ERP system to integrate their key business functions, including procurement of raw materials, manufacture, sales, inventory, transportation and accounting. By tying together different business processes, an ERP system enables the flow of data between them and ensures the integrity of transactional data collected from multiple sources. The operating subsidiaries entered into an SAP cloud services subscription agreement in August 2024 and an SAP implementation consulting agreement with Capgemini in January 2025, and the ERP system went live on February 1, 2026. The existing sales and inventory management systems used by the operating subsidiaries for their sales in North America and Europe will be connected with the ERP system to achieve real time communication and avoid data duplication. We believe the implementation of the ERP system will facilitate the execution of our expansion strategies and help optimize our operational efficiency.

In addition, employees of the operating subsidiaries in the IT department will also be classified into three groups based on different technology development needs utilizing the ERP system. The operating subsidiaries are consolidating the mutual functions necessary for their different sales channels in their IT systems in order to provide support to their worldwide sales, in particular following their further expansion in different markets. These mutual functions include customer centers, product, purchase order, customer feedback, online retail store, payment, delivery, data service, product search and marketing. We believe such strategy will decrease the duplicated support provided to each sales channel and maximize the use of our internal resources.

 ****

***Continue to increase sales and deliver customer services to offline overseas dealers, who sell our white-label products through online channels to end customers***

The operating subsidiaries plan to further develop and expand their overseas local B2B business in future years. We believe that by serving local overseas wholesalers and dealers who are growing their online sales business, the operating subsidiaries will be able to learn about the end customers, design and manufacture products catering to the preferences of end customers, provide services addressing end customers' needs, and increase their presence in this growing market. To this end, the operating subsidiaries plan to (i) further attract and retain qualified personnel to their team, (ii) continue with the investment in and development of their proprietary technologies and IT systems to reduce logistics costs and improve overall efficiency, and (iii) increase their sales, marketing and logistics efforts, including establishing dedicated sales department to this business component, disseminating advertisements and brand promotions, and constructing additional logistics centers. With the growth potential of e-commerce, the operating subsidiaries' high-quality products and the employment of the operating subsidiaries' business and marketing strategies, we hope to attract and retain more local overseas wholesaler and dealer customers who operate online sales business, enhance the operating subsidiaries' market position as a brand of toner cartridges, and further grow the business of the operating subsidiaries in general.

**Our Business Model**

*ODM business.* The operating subsidiaries conduct their ODM business through selling their products to customers located overseas, who purchase their products on an ODM basis. Under the ODM business, the operating subsidiaries provide contract manufacturing services to their customers from the operating subsidiaries' facilities in Mainland PRC and sell under the customers' own brand names and packaging. Generally, the operating subsidiaries will ship ODM products directly to the customers' warehouses. The target customers of wholesalers, who primarily purchase the operating subsidiaries' products on an ODM basis, are generally large to medium enterprises, government organizations and educational institutions. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we derived approximately 35.9%, 34.1% and 43.2% of our total revenue from sales of the operating subsidiaries' ODM business, or sale of ODM products, respectively.

*B2B business.* The operating subsidiaries conduct their overseas B2B business through selling white-label products to dealer customers who generally resell these products to end consumers, including, among others, small to medium enterprises, local offices and schools, through offline channels and/or online e-commerce platforms. White-label products are those with generic packaging and no brand information. End consumers directly place purchase orders with these dealers through online e-commerce platforms, and the dealers provide customer services to end consumers. The operating subsidiaries, on the other hand, provide services including custom packaging solutions, drop shipping services and storage services. To better serve these dealers and develop further customer connections, the operating subsidiaries have local offices and logistics centers located across the U.S. and Europe and equip them with advanced IT systems that help with processing orders from online and offline channels. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we derived approximately 56.5%, 57.3% and 46.9% of our total revenue from the operating subsidiaries' overseas B2B business, or sale of white-label products to dealers, respectively.

 

*Overseas B2C business.* During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we operated online retail stores on Amazon and other online selling platforms. Following the disposition of ten (10) wholly-owned subsidiaries that previously operated the Company's overseas B2C online store business on December 31, 2025, the Company continues to operate one (1) online store on the Walmart platform through ASL, through which it sells remaining pre-Disposition toner cartridge inventory manufactured prior to the Disposition and household products purchased prior to the Disposition. Upon the sale of all remaining inventory, such online store will cease operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, we derived approximately 7.6%, 8.6% and 9.8% of our total revenue from the operating subsidiaries' overseas B2C business, or sale of branded products, respectively.

**The Operating Subsidiaries' Products**

 ****

***Overview***

The operating subsidiaries primarily manufacture various compatible toner cartridges for use with commonly available models of printer from different brands. The operating subsidiaries also produce remanufactured toner cartridges through refurbishing empty cartridges, removing brand names of the original-brand toner cartridges, refilling the toner and replacing any broken parts. In addition to toner cartridges, the operating subsidiaries manufacture a small amount of other ancillary printer components, primarily including carbon tapes, color tapes and packaging materials.

***Toner Cartridges***

 

*Compatible Toner Cartridges*

A toner cartridge is the consumable component of a laser printer. Toner cartridges contain toner powder, which is used to form text and graphics on paper. The toner is transferred to paper via an electrostatically charged drum unit and fused onto the paper by heated rollers during the printing process. Compatible toner cartridges are designed and manufactured by third-party manufacturers and can be used with various printer models.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, revenue for sales of compatible toner cartridges was US$144.5 million, US$138.1 million, and US$139.7 million, respectively, representing 96.2%, 92.2% and 90.0% of our total revenue for the respective periods.

*Remanufactured Toner Cartridges*

The operating subsidiaries procure used original-brand toner cartridges from empty-cartridge brokers overseas and ship the empty cartridges to their factory located in Jiangxi Province, the PRC. The operating subsidiaries produce remanufactured toner cartridges through refurbishing empty cartridges, removing brand names of the original-brand toner cartridges, refilling the toner and replacing any broken parts. The operating subsidiaries' remanufactured toner cartridges are marked as recyclable products and sold under white-label basis.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, revenue for sales of remanufactured toner cartridges was US$1.2 million, US$1.0 million, and US$1.5 million, respectively, representing 0.8%, 0.7%, and 1.0%, respectively, of total revenue for the periods.

***Ancillary printer components***

The operating subsidiaries also manufacture a small amount of ancillary printer components, including carbon tapes, color tapes and packaging materials for toner cartridges.

**Raw Materials and Suppliers**

 ****

***Raw Materials and Procurement***

The raw materials the operating subsidiaries procure primarily include toner, chips and OPC drums which are predominantly sourced from the operating subsidiaries' Mainland PRC suppliers. The procurement department of the operating subsidiaries procures raw materials with reference to the operating subsidiaries' production plans, production orders on hand, and inventory level. As of December 31, 2025, the operating subsidiaries' procurement team of the production material control department consisted of nine (9) employees.

The purchase price of raw materials may vary in certain circumstances, such as any substantial changes in market conditions. The operating subsidiaries closely monitor fluctuations in the prices of their raw materials and adjust their raw materials inventory policy in accordance with such price fluctuations if necessary. To minimize exposure to price fluctuations of raw materials and to avoid delays and/or shortages in the supply of raw materials, the operating subsidiaries may make large-scale purchases when necessary and seek new suppliers to replace unstable suppliers. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries did not experience any shortage or material delay in the supply of raw materials.

In addition, in the event of any material fluctuation in the purchase price of raw materials, the operating subsidiaries may adjust the selling price of their products accordingly. If the operating subsidiaries are unable to increase the selling price of their products due to market competition, the operating subsidiaries seek to mitigate the adverse impact of such price increases by improving their manufacturing efficiency. The operating subsidiaries do not currently have any hedging policies with regard to their raw materials, but the operating subsidiaries re-evaluate such determination from time to time based on the costs and benefits of hedging.

 ****

***Suppliers***

 

*Selection criteria of raw material suppliers*

The operating subsidiaries conduct assessments on all new suppliers prior to sourcing raw materials from them. Such assessments are based on several key criteria, including the quality of goods, delivery speed, quality of technical support, and responsiveness. If the operating subsidiaries determine that a supplier has met their requirements, the supplier will be added to their approved suppliers list. As of December 31, 2025, the operating subsidiaries had over 510 approved suppliers on the list. Suppliers on the approved suppliers list are subject to annual reassessment.

*Concentration of raw material suppliers*

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, purchases from the operating subsidiaries' largest supplier amounted to approximately US$17.7 million, US$16.7 million and US$10.4 million, respectively, representing approximately 23.3%, 19.3% and 11.4% of the operating subsidiaries' total purchases, respectively. Purchases from the operating subsidiaries' top five suppliers amounted to approximately US$36.5 million, US$37.9 million, and US$49.8 million, respectively, representing approximately 47.9%, 43.7% and 54.7% of total purchases, respectively. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, two suppliers each accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total purchases, namely Zhongshan Yuanshi Micro Technology Co., Ltd. and Jiangxi Runhong Mould Co., Ltd., contributing approximately 23.3% and 11.1% of the Company's total purchases, respectively. For each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, one supplier, Zhongshan Yuanshi Micro Technology Co., Ltd., accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total purchases, contributing approximately 19.3% and 11.4% of the Company's total purchases, respectively. No other supplier accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total purchases in any of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Other than color toner, the operating subsidiaries' raw materials are generally available from a large number of local suppliers. There is only a limited number of color toner manufacturers globally. One of the operating subsidiaries' suppliers is the largest manufacturer of color toner in Mainland PRC, but also the operating subsidiaries' competitor for the sale of compatible toner cartridges. Through Jiangxi Leibotai, we entered into a legally binding procurement agreement with this supplier for a term from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we believe the operating subsidiaries are able to source color toner from other manufacturers, although this may not be at a favorable cost given the limited number of manufacturers available. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries did not experience any significant difficulties in obtaining raw materials and packaging materials, and the operating subsidiaries did not encounter any significant problems with the quality of their raw materials or packaging materials.

 

*Procurement agreements with raw material suppliers*

The operating subsidiaries generally enter into legally binding procurement agreements with their suppliers. The principal terms of the procurement agreements are summarized below.

● *Duration*: Such procurement agreements are generally effective for a term of two (2) years.

● *Pricing*: Product prices are not specified in the procurement agreements but are instead confirmed in individual purchase orders.

● *Specifications and quality requirements*: Raw materials supplied by the suppliers shall strictly comply with the applicable product specifications and standards.

● *Payment terms*: Payments are made by the operating subsidiaries to their suppliers through mutually agreed methods, including wire transfer, bank transfer, cash, and check. The specific payment date shall be the date on which the payment terms agreed in the relevant purchase orders become due and payable.

● *Delivery*: Products shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable purchase orders or other written requirements of the operating subsidiaries.

● *Inspection and product returns*: The operating subsidiaries typically inspect products for compliance with agreed quality standards, quantity, and specifications upon receipt. If any issue is identified, the operating subsidiaries shall resolve the issue with the relevant supplier within a reasonable period (not to exceed one month). Where the cause of the issue is attributable to the supplier, the supplier shall be responsible for rectifying or remedying such issue.

● *Warranty*: The product warranty period shall comply with applicable laws and regulations and the operating subsidiaries' requirements. In the absence of a clear applicable rule, or where the relevant standard is lower than the operating subsidiaries' requirements, the product warranty period shall be two (2) years from the date of acceptance.

● Confidentiality: Without the prior written consent of the other party, neither party shall disclose any trade secrets or confidential information of the other party to any third party.

**Manufacturing and Quality Assurance**

 ****

***Production Process***

The toner cartridges the operating subsidiaries produce include compatible toner cartridges and remanufactured toner cartridges. Except for the additional procedures of grade, disassembly and cleaning related to remanufactured toner cartridges, the production process of the two types is substantially the same. The production of one cartridge generally takes approximately 10 minutes. The following diagram illustrates the principal production process:

![](ea028359301_img3.jpg)

 ****

***Production Facilities***

All of the operating subsidiaries' production facilities are located in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, the PRC and occupy approximately 182,986 square meters. As of December 31, 2025, the operating subsidiaries owned a production factory with two single-level buildings of similar size accommodating our 39 production lines. As set forth in detail below, the operating subsidiaries' production facilities are already close to full capacity. Owing to the limited space of our existing production facilities, it is not feasible for the operating subsidiaries to establish new productions lines in their existing production facilities. The operating subsidiaries' production lines can be adjusted by adding or replacing certain production equipment without incurring significant setup time and costs to meet different product specifications.

 

 

*Major production machinery and equipment*

The following table sets out a summary of the operating subsidiaries' major production machinery and equipment they use for production:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Machinery/Equipment** | **Machinery/Equipment** | **Use and Function** |
| (1) | Toner filling machine | Filling toner into the toner bottle |
| (2) | Doctor blade automatic installation machine | Automatically installing doctor blade |
| (3) | Wiper blades automatic installation machine | Automatically installing wiper blade |
| (4) | Primary charge roller automatic installation machine | Automatically installing primary charge roller |

---

Production facilities are organized and managed by the operating subsidiaries' safety staff in administration department. The operating subsidiaries conduct regular maintenance of their machinery and equipment so as to ensure that their business operations will not be disrupted unnecessarily. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries did not encounter any breakdown of their production facilities that had a material adverse impact on their business operations.

 ****

***Quality Assurance***

The operating subsidiaries emphasize quality and reliability on their manufacturing process. The operating subsidiaries have been accredited the following international certifications.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Certificate** | **Coverage** | **Issuing Authority** | **Date of Grant** | **Date of Expiration** |

---

In addition, the operating subsidiaries' products are typically required to adhere to the transportation standard of ISTA Procedure 1A, reliability standard of MIL-HDBK-3388 and testing standard of ISO/IEC 19752 and ISO/IEC 19798, and the internal quality standards of our customers. In order to meet the high-quality standards and to help minimize product return costs, the operating subsidiaries' quality assurance procedures are carried out at various stages of the manufacturing process, including incoming, in-process and outgoing stages. To closely monitor the operating subsidiaries' manufacturing process, the operating subsidiaries' product group had a quality assurance division consisting of a team of 41 experienced engineers, supervisors and inspectors as of December 31, 2025. Furthermore, the operating subsidiaries have implemented systematic defect-elimination procedures to the entire manufacturing process to reduce defect rates in their products.

 

 

*Incoming inspection for raw material*

Each chip the operating subsidiaries purchased is generally required to be inspected before being put into use. Other raw materials the operating subsidiaries purchase are generally inspected on a sampling basis. The sampled raw materials and chips need to go through a comprehensive visual inspection, physical test and functional test. For important materials including OPC drum, chip and toner, the operating subsidiaries conduct trial production before placing them in stock. For ordinary materials, the operating subsidiaries review the laboratory testing report to confirm the conditions of the raw materials before placing them in stock. The operating subsidiaries require their raw materials and components suppliers to establish and maintain stringent quality assurance systems throughout such suppliers' production processes and be able to provide timely on-site support in the event that incoming raw materials and components do not meet the operating subsidiaries' quality standards.

 

*In-process quality assurance inspection*

The operating subsidiaries carry out quality control on their semi-finished products at various stages along their production lines to ensure the quality of such semi-finished products complies with applicable industry standards and internal benchmarks. The operating subsidiaries perform first article inspection at the beginning of every shift to ensure that the first set of products assembled at the beginning of the relevant shift meets all the relevant quality standards before the operating subsidiaries begin mass production. Quality inspection and process assessments are also performed regularly to oversee quality assurance procedures throughout the assembly process in order to minimize the quality variance at various stages of the production process.

 

*Outgoing quality assurance inspection*

Finished products undergo outgoing quality assurance inspection before they are shipped to the operating subsidiaries' customers and overseas warehouses. Products, which do not meet the internal quality standards, are returned to the operating subsidiaries' manufacturing facilities for remediation, and when remedied, are subject again to the same outgoing quality assurance inspection. The operating subsidiaries carry out quality control on their finished products by random and sample testing including 100% printing test, visual inspection and life test.

**Research and Development**

The operating subsidiaries engage in ongoing research and development activities to meet their customers' increasingly sophisticated needs and maintain their leading-edge capabilities. As of December 31, 2025, the operating subsidiaries' research and development team was comprised of 134 professional engineers and skilled technicians. The team was led by Mr. Weidong Gu, who has over 20 years of experience in the compatible toner cartridge industry. Most of the products developed from the operating subsidiaries' research and development activities were compatible toner cartridges, and all of the operating subsidiaries' compatible toner cartridges are covered by certain patents owned by the operating subsidiaries. The majority of our revenue generated during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 was related to sales of compatible toner cartridges developed by the operating subsidiaries' research and development team. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our revenues generated from sales of the operating subsidiaries' self-developed compatible toner cartridges were 96.2%, 99.3% and 90.0% of our total revenues for the respective periods.

We spent US$6.6 million, US$6.2 million and US$9.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, on research and development activities. We consider the operating subsidiaries' research and development activities critical to the continuing success of our business. The operating subsidiaries' research and development efforts are focused on the following areas:

● upgrade their products in line with the continuous update of printers;

● design and development of new products; and

● design and development of new production process to improve production efficiency and reduce overall manufacturing costs while maintaining design reliability.

The operating subsidiaries' typical new product development process consists of the following steps:

![](ea028359301_img4.jpg)

The operating subsidiaries adopt a scientific and rigorous testing procedure with advanced equipment to ensure the quality reliability of their products. The operating subsidiaries' products typically undergo tests mainly including reliability test, life test, high-low temperature and humidity test and noise test by printing at low speed. The operating subsidiaries closely monitor the customer feedback of a new product during the first six months after being launched to the market.

The operating subsidiaries' research and development department is responsible for exploring and evaluating potential new products to be developed and manufactured by the operating subsidiaries. In order to quickly develop products compatible with new models of printers and meet customers' changing needs, the operating subsidiaries closely track the latest patent rights applied by printer manufacturers, study the design, structure and components used in original-brand product updates, new original-brand products being released, and conduct market research to collect customer feedback. Through patent search, the operating subsidiaries gain access to patent information including the description of the claimed invention, the scope of patent protection sought by the applicant and the information of the patent holder. By tracking and analyzing the patents filed or obtained by printer manufacturers and industry peers, the operating subsidiaries are able to discover new trends in technology and product development at an early stage, build on and improve existing products and obtain guidance for the development of the operating subsidiaries' self-owned technologies. In addition, the operating subsidiaries closely monitor the distribution channels of original-brand manufacturers including official websites, wholesale and offline retail stores to obtain the publicly available information of new products being launched.

**Pricing**

The operating subsidiaries adopt different pricing strategies for their products depending on different sales channels. In particular, the pricing levels of the operating subsidiaries' products are formulated in consideration of the main factors below:

● ODM customers (sale of ODM products): The operating subsidiaries generally adopt a fixed cost-plus pricing policy by considering the customer consumption volume, customer payment terms and delivery terms, length of business relationship and prices of competing products. The operating subsidiaries do not have rights to set the retail price of their ODM products for their customers, because ODM products are sold by the operating subsidiaries' customers at the price set at such customers' own discretion.

● Dealers (sale of white-label products and in the PRC domestic market, also self-branded products): The operating subsidiaries typically price their white-label products at higher rates compared to their ODM products, as the operating subsidiaries take into account costs associated with their exclusive services provided to dealers, including custom clearance, warehousing, relabeling services, and direct shipping to end consumers. As a result, the operating subsidiaries are able to generate reasonable profits from their white-label products. The operating subsidiaries generally set prices at 15% to 25% of the prices of original-brand cartridge products sold to dealer customers, and are able to generate reasonable profits from such sales.

● Online retail customers (sale of branded products): The operating subsidiaries generally set the retail prices for their branded products sold to retail customers at 30% to 50% of the prices of original-brand cartridge products. Typically, the operating subsidiaries are able to derive the highest profit margins from sales to online retail customers, among the three sales channels.

As the ability of the operating subsidiaries to offer competitive prices is critical in securing orders with and obtaining more bargaining power from their ODM customers, the operating subsidiaries usually review their pricing levels on a quarterly basis with their ODM customers to reflect changing market and operational conditions, and the operating subsidiaries adjust price list periodically. The operating subsidiaries' branded products and white-label products typically generate higher profit margins compared to ODM products. We believe that the operating subsidiaries have more bargaining power for their white-label products because of their localized operation and ancillary services provided to dealers, including relabeling services and direct shipping to end consumers, among others. The operating subsidiaries' direct-to-consumer approach in selling their branded products also allows the operating subsidiaries to cut out the distributors and control their costs more effectively and provides the operating subsidiaries with more flexibility in pricing.

**Logistics and Warehousing**

 ****

***Logistics***

In the U.S., the operating subsidiaries strategically located their warehouses on the east and west coasts, in California and South Carolina respectively. A majority of the operating subsidiaries' customers in North America, primarily in the U.S., can also track product deliveries through the operating subsidiaries' self-developed inventory and logistics system named Matrix ("Matrix System"). The operating subsidiaries generally keep reasonable levels of inventories in the warehouses according to the population coverage. The operating subsidiaries also have a major logistics center in Venlo in the Netherlands and three warehouses strategically located in the north, central and south parts of Europe, including the United Kingdom, France and Italy.

We believe that reliable and timely product delivery is a critical component of providing satisfying shopping experience for the operating subsidiaries' customers. Generally, finished products may be delivered at the operating subsidiaries' costs or their customers' costs to the locations designated by the operating subsidiaries' customers, depending on the operating subsidiaries' delivery arrangement with each customer.

The operating subsidiaries' product delivery is generally arranged as follows:

 

*ODM products (to ODM customers).* The operating subsidiaries' ODM products are generally being shipped directly from the operating subsidiaries' production facility. The operating subsidiaries' customers purchasing ODM products usually choose free on board (FOB) shipping arrangement or delivered duty paid (DDP) shipping arrangement. The operating subsidiaries are responsible for the customs declarations with the Mainland PRC customs. For DDP shipping arrangement, the operating subsidiaries are also responsible for the customs clearance by engaging a customs broker to complete the relevant customs clearance procedures at the foreign customs.

 

 

*White-label products (to overseas dealer customers or their end customers).* The operating subsidiaries white-label products are generally being delivered from the operating subsidiaries' production facility to their main overseas logistics centers, located in California and Venlo. The operating subsidiaries use major international delivery services companies to deliver their products from their overseas warehouses to the agreed-upon location of the wholesalers and dealers. A majority of the customers of the operating subsidiaries in North America, primarily in the U.S., can also track product deliveries through the operating subsidiaries' Matrix system which integrates with the operating subsidiaries' EDI ordering system for better sales management.

![](ea028359301_img6.jpg)

 

*Branded products (remaining inventory).* The remaining toner cartridge inventory held by ASL is delivered from the operating subsidiaries' production facility to the warehouses maintained by the fulfillment centers of the Walmart platform and the operating subsidiaries' overseas warehouses. Such products may be delivered to online retail customers either by the platform or directly by the operating subsidiaries.

![](ea028359301_img7.jpg)

 ****

*White-label and self-branded products (to domestic dealers in the PRC)*. The operating subsidiaries' white-label products and self-branded products sold to domestic dealers in the PRC are generally delivered from the operating subsidiaries' production facilities located in Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, the PRC. The operating subsidiaries arrange delivery of such products through third-party logistics service providers. Depending on the circumstances, delivery may be made either (i) directly to the domestic dealers, who are then generally responsible for arranging onward distribution of the products to their end customers within the PRC; or (ii) at the request of a domestic dealer, directly to the end customers designated by such dealer, in which case the operating subsidiaries arrange shipment to such designated locations through third-party logistics service providers. The operating subsidiaries coordinate with their domestic sales team to manage delivery schedules and ensure timely fulfillment of purchase orders placed by domestic dealers.

 ****

***Warehouse Operations***

The operating subsidiaries have warehouse management procedures that monitor the planning and allocation of warehouse space and stock of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished products to coordinate with the delivery arrangements and schedules. The operating subsidiaries have equipped fire alarm equipment, anti-theft system, security alarm and sprinkler system in their warehouses to protect their warehouses in Europe. In Europe, the operating subsidiaries use a powerful order management system named multichannel order manager to manage their purchase orders and ensure accurate inventory level information. In the U.S., the operating subsidiaries have equipped fire alarm and sprinkler system in their warehouses. In addition, the operating subsidiaries utilize their self-developed Matrix system to conduct inventory management and warehouse rack management, which enables them to maintain accuracy on stock inventory. The operating subsidiaries also perform a random stock check to confirm if some of the low inventory stock level is matching with the recordings in their Matrix system. The operating subsidiaries carry out physical stock counts every quarter to monitor their inventory level and to identify obsolete or damaged stock.

***Inventory Control***

The operating subsidiaries' inventory mainly comprises raw materials, work-in-progress and finished products.

For ODM products, the operating subsidiaries manufacture the products on a made-to-order basis. The operating subsidiaries produce the ODM products after they receive a confirmed order of products.

For white-label products, the operating subsidiaries' sales and marketing department, based on their understanding of historical sales and perceived market trends, formulates annual sales targets at the Company's level and at the regional level. The operating subsidiaries' regional sales teams then prepare their respective quarterly sales targets. The operating subsidiaries' logistics teams communicate with regional sales teams on a weekly basis to review and make the next quarter's sales prediction, and then communicate with the operating subsidiaries' factory for upcoming production schedule. It generally will take about one month to manufacture the products and another 1.5 months to deliver the products to the operating subsidiaries' overseas warehouses. The operating subsidiaries' sales and marketing department reviews regularly whether the operating subsidiaries' regional sales teams are able to meet their sales targets. At the end of each year, the operating subsidiaries' sales and marketing department reviews annual sales by region, product and brand, customer turnover rate, the level of returned goods and the number of customer complaints. It is the operating subsidiaries' policy to maintain sufficient inventory level of finished products. This is determined with reference to the historical daily sales of each type of products.

**Sales and Customers**

The operating subsidiaries sell their products and services through their own sales and marketing team based in the United States and Europe. As of December 31, 2025, the operating subsidiaries employed approximately 509 salespersons. They are responsible for identifying business and market opportunities, engaging in business networking, participating in industry exhibitions, organizing logistics, handling customer complaints, processing purchase orders, promoting products and social media and other online platforms, deepening relationships with existing customers, and cultivating relationships with potential customers worldwide. The operating subsidiaries' sales and marketing departments include a Mainland PRC sales division and an overseas sales division. The operating subsidiaries' overseas division is responsible for the sales of white-label products and assists the Mainland PRC sales team to follow up on the customers purchased ODM products in the North America and Europe market. The operating subsidiaries' Mainland PRC sales division is further divided into an ODM sales team and an online branded products sales team.

The operating subsidiaries generally approach and develop new customers through the following methods:

 ****

***ODM customers and Dealers***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The
 operating subsidiaries participate in office supplies and printer consumables exhibitions to create business relationships with potential
 customers. The operating subsidiaries also follow up with potential customers to explore their purchasing needs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The
 operating subsidiaries contact active local dealers and make cold calls to potential customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) The
 operating subsidiaries hire salespersons with rich industry experiences.

 ****

***Online retail customers***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The
 operating subsidiaries invest in sponsored advertisements on online selling platforms to reach customers interested in purchasing
 toner cartridges to improve the brand recognition of the operating subsidiaries, grow customers and boost sales.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Through
 providing customer services on a timely basis and constantly improving the quality of their services to online retail customers,
 the operating subsidiaries aim to build and improve their brand reputation and boost word-of-mouth marketing.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we sold approximately 35.9%, 56.6% and 7.6% of our products to ODM customers, dealers and online retail customers, respectively, compared to 34.1%, 57.3% and 8.6% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and 43.2%, 46.9% and 9.8% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

 ****

 ****

***Sales to ODM Customers***

ODM customers are those who purchase products from the operating subsidiaries which are manufactured according to the operating subsidiaries' specifications and packaged under the ODM customers' brands. ODM customers procure the operating subsidiaries' products directly from the operating subsidiaries' sales offices in Mainland PRC and the operating subsidiaries deliver from their production facilities in Mainland PRC. The operating subsidiaries have established over nine years of business relationship with most of their major ODM customers. Customers purchasing the operating subsidiaries' ODM products generally order their products with bulk quantity. The operating subsidiaries mainly provide manufacturing services for ODM customers and produce products under ODM customers' brands. Given their advantage in developing relatively sizeable customers, in general, we believe that those ODM customers are more sensitive to material price adjustments.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries did not enter into any sales agreements or long-term contracts with their ODM customers other than rebate agreements for their ODM products. Through the rebate agreements, the operating subsidiaries offer them a discount on the selling price of 1% to 2% if ODM customers accept the responsibility to provide warranty services to end users for purchased goods with manufacturing defects, or if the customers make purchases of or above certain volume. In the event that the amount of defective products exceeds 1% of the total amount of products, ODM customers can return the defective ODM products back to the operating subsidiaries as credit. Such rebate agreement generally is valid for one year and shall be automatically extended at its expiration if neither party objects. The operating subsidiaries' sales are conducted on a purchase order basis.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, there were no material sales return from the operating subsidiaries' customers purchasing their ODM products. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, sales to ODM customers were US$54.0 million, US$51.1 million and US$67.1 million, accounting for approximately 35.9%, 34.1% and 43.2% of our total revenues for those years, respectively.

 ****

***Sales to Dealers***

Dealers are customers who source toner cartridges from importers and/or wholesalers, and sell them to end consumers who place purchase orders with them, including small to medium sized enterprises, local offices and schools, among others. Many dealers do not maintain their own warehouses and therefore depend on importers and/or wholesalers to ship the orders directly to their end customers. Dealers typically order the operating subsidiaries' products with small quantities compared to ODM customers. The operating subsidiaries' local sales team need to identify and develop the dealers and provide the dealers with customized services. The operating subsidiaries supply overseas dealers with products with generic packaging boxes with no brand information, or white-label products. In addition, the operating subsidiaries conduct a domestic PRC B2B business through selling self-branded products under two brands, Shiyin and Tiancai, to domestic customers. The operating subsidiaries also provide optional ancillary services, including relabeling services, drop shipping services and storage services to dealers. With the aforementioned ancillary services, we believe that the operating subsidiaries have gained more bargaining power. In addition, through the operating subsidiaries' proprietary EDI system and internet-based quick order system, the operating subsidiaries' dealer customers can easily and effortlessly place orders with the operating subsidiaries, locate product specifications and inventory information, check the status of their orders, and make payments. See "— Technology."

The operating subsidiaries do not enter into sales agreements or any long-term contracts with the dealers, and the operating subsidiaries' sales are conducted on a purchase order basis. The dealers are not allowed to return or exchange products except for defective products.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries' sales of white-label products to overseas dealers were approximately US$84.9 million, US$85.9 million and US$72.9 million, representing 56.5%, 57.3% and 46.9% of total revenue for respective periods.

***Sales to Online Retail Customers***

The operating subsidiaries' online retail customers are those who purchase toner cartridge products through ASL's online retail store on the Walmart platform. Individuals and small to micro sized enterprises mainly order through the online store. Upon sale of all remaining inventory, such online store will cease operations.

Currently, ASL operates one (1) online store on the Walmart platform, through which it sells remaining pre-Disposition toner cartridge and household product inventory. The operating subsidiaries' sales to online retail customers are conducted on a per-order basis. Upon the sale of all remaining inventory, such online store will cease operations.

The operating subsidiaries typically set the retail prices for branded products to 30% to 50% of those of original-brand cartridge products. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, revenue generated from our online retail stores from branded products were approximately US$11.4 million, US$12.9 million and US$15.2 million, representing 7.6%, 8.6% and 9.8%, respectively, of total revenue for the periods.

 ****

***Geographic Coverage***

The operating subsidiaries' products are currently sold to customers in over 54 countries. Sales to North American and European customers represent the majority of our total revenue. The operating subsidiaries' European customers are from a large number of different countries, including Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, Italy, Netherlands, France, Hungary, and others, among which customers from Germany constitute the largest market share among customers from all European countries with respect to the operating subsidiaries' ODM business and B2B business.

**Customer Service**

The operating subsidiaries are committed to providing premium customer service quality to their customers, which is reflected in the operating subsidiaries' product return and exchange policies. The operating subsidiaries maintain their main customer service center in sales headquarters in Zhongshan City in the PRC, handling user queries and complaints regarding the operating subsidiaries' products and services. As of December 31, 2025, the operating subsidiaries had after-sales and technical service teams of 70 employees working according to the office hours in U.S. and European time zones to provide 24-hour service to these customers. The operating subsidiaries' local sales team will also provide sales-related follow-up works for their customers. Customers can make queries on the operating subsidiaries' products and ordering process and file complaints around the clock by various means, such as online chatting, a customer service hotline, emails and face-to-face communication. The operating subsidiaries' customer service representatives are required to complete training on product and service knowledge, complaint handling and communication skills. The operating subsidiaries aim to provide timely, comprehensive, and high-quality customer services to ensure that the operating subsidiaries meet their customers' needs and expectations for their products.

 ****

***Services to ODM Customers and Dealers***

The operating subsidiaries' customers, including ODM customers and dealers, are eligible to refund or exchange defective products within two years from the date of purchase. During the warranty period, customers are eligible to submit refund or exchange requests to the operating subsidiaries' return merchandise authorization team, or RMA team, at the operating subsidiaries' quality assurance department. The RMA team will process the requests within 48 business hours. To expedite the RMA procedure, the operating subsidiaries request customers to submit RMA with five essential pieces of information, including item number, quantity, reason for return, batch number and original order number or purchase number. The operating subsidiaries generally provide a credit to the operating subsidiaries' customers in the method in which the customers paid within seven business days of our receipt of the accepted return. A refund will not be processed until the product is received by the operating subsidiaries' warehouse.

 

*Defective products.* The operating subsidiaries' quality assurance team in sales headquarters in the U.S. and Europe will diagnose the claims for defective products based on the essential information and determined if the operating subsidiaries need to retrieve for inspection or not. Upon receipt of the returned items, the operating subsidiaries shall inspect them for final determination of return, exchange, or notification of ineligible products. The operating subsidiaries will notify their customers if any ineligible products are received. The operating subsidiaries reserve the right to either recycle or otherwise dispose of the ineligible products after seven days from the date customers were notified. Ineligible products include (i) any products were damaged due to customers' error; (ii) any products are returned due to defects, but no defect is found after testing; (iii) any product that was not directly purchased from the operating subsidiaries or not the operating subsidiaries' products; (iv) any returns with more than 70% of toner usage; and (v) any products that were malfunctioned. If the quality issues of our products are due to the faults of the operating subsidiaries' suppliers, the operating subsidiaries will claim against their suppliers.

 

*Incorrectly supplied products.* The customers should notify the operating subsidiaries within 180 days of receipt of the incorrectly supplied products to qualify for refund or free replacement.

 

*Missing, incomplete or damaged orders.* If the purchase orders have not arrived, or arrive in complete or damages, the operating subsidiaries' customers could contact their RMA Department to report any issue within three business days of the delivery date to qualify for refund or free replacement. If the products are lost or damaged in shipping, the operating subsidiaries' customers or the operating subsidiaries could file a claim with the carrier for the loss if the products are shipped on a customer's account or the operating subsidiaries' account.

 

*Change of mind returns.* Customers may request product returns at their own costs if they are ordered in error or unwanted within 90 days from the original invoice date. The products must be returned in resalable condition with the original packaging. The operating subsidiaries will charge 20% restocking fee if the products are returned to the operating subsidiaries after 90 days from the original invoice date. The operating subsidiaries will charge US$2 each on re-box if the packaging is damaged or defaced in any way, or if the packaging has been customized.

***Services to Online Retail Customers***

The operating subsidiaries allow their customers purchased through their online channels to exchange or return goods within 30 days of receipt of shipment for any reason. The operating subsidiaries generally allow their customers to exchange or return any defective products with quality issues at any time after purchase. For returning, exchanging or repairing any defective products, the operating subsidiaries' customers can mail such products to the operating subsidiaries after initiating a product return request on the platform on which they purchased the products.

**Sale of Household Products**

Utilizing their supply chains and benefiting from established online sales channels, the operating subsidiaries sell third-party manufactured household products directly to customers through their online stores. Such products include fitness and home exercise equipment, electronics and accessories, home and kitchen appliances, and garden and outdoor tools, among others. The operating subsidiaries select the household products they sell based on market research and the sales volume of such product categories across various e-commerce platforms. The selection process involves identifying high-demand products, obtaining price quotes from suppliers, and evaluating profitability by comparing prevailing market prices with the operating subsidiaries' cost of sales. Only products with a viable profit margin are considered for sale. The operating subsidiaries typically set retail prices for household products at competitive levels, aligning them with prices of comparable products on e-commerce platforms.

The operating subsidiaries' household products are generally delivered from the suppliers to the warehouses maintained by the fulfillment centers of online selling platform and the operating subsidiaries' overseas warehouses. The operating subsidiaries' household products may be delivered to customers either by the platform or directly by the operating subsidiaries.

For household products, the operating subsidiaries determine their inventory levels based on the supply chain cycle of each product. Specifically, the operating subsidiaries consider factors such as supplier delivery times, shipping durations, and local inventory turnover requirements. For example, if a supplier's delivery cycle is 30 days, transportation takes 45 days, and the operating subsidiaries aim to maintain 45 days of inventory at the destination warehouses, the total inventory level required would be 120 days in aggregate. This approach enables the operating subsidiaries to ensure a stable and sufficient level of product supply while minimizing the risk of stockouts.

Following the Disposition and as of the date of this annual report, through ASL, we operate one (1) online retail store on the Walmart platform, through which we sell remaining pre-Disposition toner cartridge and household product inventory. Upon the sale of all remaining inventory, such online store will cease operations.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, revenue from the sale of household products was approximately US$4.1 million, US$10.7 million and US$14.0 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 2.7%, 7.1% and 9.0% of total revenue, respectively.

*Suppliers of household products* 

Household products were sourced from suppliers based in the PRC, and the operating subsidiaries did not participate in the manufacturing of such products. When selecting suppliers, the operating subsidiaries prioritized existing partners who offered the same products while also exploring new suppliers within the industry that provided comparable quality at lower costs. The operating subsidiaries did not enter into long-term agreements with their suppliers; instead, products were procured on an as-needed basis through purchase orders. Such purchase orders typically included the name, quantity, unit price and specifications of the products ordered, as well as payment terms and delivery schedule and location. Additionally, no single supplier of household products accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total purchases in any of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

**Technology**

The operating subsidiaries' technologies are crucial to their success. The operating subsidiaries have invested strategically to build their proprietary technology, with the goal of improving operational efficiency and customer experience.

 

*EDI system.* The operating subsidiaries have launched their electronic data interchange system for their dealer customers located in North America, through which the customers can send purchase orders to the operating subsidiaries and receive shipping information from the operating subsidiaries.

 

*Internet-based quick order system.* The operating subsidiaries provide one-step ordering solutions to their ODM and dealer customers through the operating subsidiaries' internet-based quick order system. Through this system, the operating subsidiaries' customers could place and handle orders, locate product specifications and inventory information, check the status of their orders, and make payments.

 

*Cloud-based warehouse management system.* The cloud-based management system connects with many third-party platforms in the U.S. The operating subsidiaries have also integrated their cloud-based warehouse management system with their EDI system, allowing the operating subsidiaries to process orders, monitor the status of their inventory, and handle accounting matters through the system. After the operating subsidiaries' customers place orders on Amazon or other online selling platforms, or through the operating subsidiaries' EDI system or internet-based quick order system, such orders are processed through the operating subsidiaries' cloud-based warehouse management system, which will generate automated messages to the operating subsidiaries' warehousing and logistics teams for further processing and delivery. Any updates to the status of customer orders will be sent by the operating subsidiaries' cloud-based warehouse management system back to the corresponding online selling platform, EDI system or internet-based quick order system, such that the operating subsidiaries' customers are able to check the real-time status of their orders.

**Intellectual Property**

Through the operating subsidiaries, we currently hold a broad collection of rights relating to certain aspects of our in-house designed products. Such rights include trademarks, patents, domain names, trade names, trade secrets and other proprietary rights in a number of overseas jurisdictions including the U.S., Europe, and Mainland PRC. All of the operating subsidiaries' compatible toner cartridges are covered by some of their patents. We believe the duration of intellectual property rights is adequate relative to the expected lives of the operating subsidiaries' products and services.

The operating subsidiaries have established and implemented internal policies and protocols in relation to the creation, management, implementation and protection of their intellectual property and trade secrets. Under the operating subsidiaries' intellectual property protection measures, as of December 31, 2025, we had 409 registered patents, including utility patents, design patents and others, in Mainland PRC and worldwide, including 382 registered patents in Mainland PRC. As of December 31, 2025, we had 142 pending patent applications worldwide, including 134 of such pending applications in Mainland PRC. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, we had 122 trademarks, including 112 trademarks in various categories registered in Mainland PRC, one (1) trademarks in various categories registered in the U.S., seven (7) trademarks in various categories registered in Europe, and two (2) trademarks registered in Hong Kong. We also have two (2) domain names registered.

The operating subsidiaries rely on a combination of patent, and trademark laws and restrictions in Mainland PRC and other jurisdictions, fair trade practice, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect their intellectual property rights and in order to provide patent safe and self-developed products to their customers. Despite the operating subsidiaries' precautions, third parties may infringe the operating subsidiaries' intellectual property rights. Unauthorized use of the operating subsidiaries' intellectual property by third parties and the expenses that may incur in protecting the operating subsidiaries' intellectual property rights from such unauthorized use may adversely affect our business and results of operations. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to the Business and Industry of the Operating Subsidiaries— The operating subsidiaries' ability to compete effectively may be hampered if their intellectual property rights are infringed on by third-parties or, on the other hand, if they are alleged or found to have infringed on the intellectual property rights of others."

We and the operating subsidiaries have not been involved in any actions, which have had a material negative impact on our financial position or results of operations, brought against us or the operating subsidiaries by any third parties claiming that we and/or the operating subsidiaries have infringed their intellectual property rights. However, from time to time we and/or the operating subsidiaries may be involved in disputes relating to intellectual property rights belonging to or asserted by third parties.

**Competition**

The operating subsidiaries are a specialized manufacturer, supplier and seller of toner cartridges to our customers mainly in North America and Europe. The operating subsidiaries face competition from manufacturers of similar products in China for sale to customers in the North America and Europe. Based on the operating subsidiaries' operating experience, we believe the principal competitive factors in the operating subsidiaries' relevant markets include:

● production scale, including production and processing capacities;

● quality of products;

● research and development capabilities;

● selling price;

● production cost;

● customer satisfaction and reputation; and

● geographical location.

There are certain major barriers of entry into the toner cartridge industry, including patents protection, substantial capital investment required to set up the operations, ability to retain highly qualified technical experts and established relationships with customers.

**Occupational Health and Safety**

The operating subsidiaries are subject to the labor, safety and work-related laws and regulations where their business operates. See "—Regulation." The operating subsidiaries have already established a work safety system which includes a system for recording and handling accidents for the production facilities warehouse and formulated a number of guidelines and this regard. The operating subsidiaries hold regular safety training sessions for their employees.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries did not experience any significant incidents or accidents in relation to workers' safety or subject to any material claim, whether for personal or property damage, or penalty in relation to health, work safety, social or environmental production issues, or involved in any accident or fatality, and had been in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material aspects during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

**Environmental and Social**

We are committed to environmental protection and conservation and through the operating subsidiaries, we have adopted environmental policies in relation to environmental protection and conversation.

The operating subsidiaries are subject to the PRC environmental laws, regulations and standards where the operating subsidiaries manufacture their products. See "—Regulation" for details of applicable environmental laws, regulations and standards.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries had complied with the applicable environmental laws and regulations in all material respects, and that the operating subsidiaries were not subject to any material fines or legal actions involving non-compliance with any relevant regulations in the PRC.

The cost of compliance with the applicable environmental protection laws, regulations, policies and standards was not material during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. However, environmental laws and regulations have tended to become increasingly stringent and, to the extent regulatory changes occur in the future, they could result in, among other things, increased costs to our Company.

**Employees**

We had 1,248, 1,404, and 1,615 full-time employees as of December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Out of the 1,615 full-time employees we had as of December 31, 2025, 1,561 of them were located in Mainland China and 45 of them were located overseas. The following table sets forth the number of our full-time employees as of December 31, 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Function** | **Number of**<br> **Employees** |
| Manufacturing | 665 |
| Sales and Marketing | 509 |
| Research and Development | 134 |
| Production Material Control | 108 |
| Quality Assurance | 41 |
| Administration | 69 |
| Accounting and Finance | 60 |
| Information Technology | 11 |
| Management | 7 |
| Others | 11 |
| **Total** | 1615 |

---

Our success depends on the operating subsidiaries' ability to attract, motivate, train and retain qualified personnel. The operating subsidiaries offer their employees competitive salaries, bonuses and other incentives. Bonuses are generally discretionary and based on employee performance as well as the operating subsidiaries' overall business performance. The operating subsidiaries offer interest-free home loans to certain qualified employees as an employee benefit.

The operating subsidiaries recruit most of their employees through job fairs, recruitment agencies and online channels. In addition, the operating subsidiaries launch regular internal and external training programs for employees covering daily work, production safety, technics, industry, information security and customs regulations. The operating subsidiaries also select outstanding employees and key core talents to study in outside training institutions or designated institutions according to the needs of specific occupations.

The operating subsidiaries have entered into employment agreements with their full-time employees. The operating subsidiaries have also signed confidentiality agreements with their employees except manufacturing staff under which such employees shall, during or after the course of employment, keep all confidential information strictly confidential. Confidential information includes all data and information that is obtained, created or developed or became aware of, whether directly or indirectly, as a result of using any equipment or resources or due to the performance of duties by such employees or information marked with "Confidential" or similar wordings, regardless of whether such information is written, completed, or registered intellectual properties.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries did not experience any material labor disputes with their employees, receive any complaints, notices or orders from relevant government authorities or third parties, or receive any claims from their employees relating to social insurance or housing provident funds. None of the operating subsidiaries' employees are currently represented by labor unions.

**Insurance**

Through the operating subsidiaries, we maintain various insurance policies to safeguard against risks and unexpected events. Through the operating subsidiaries, we have purchased property insurance which covers all risks of physical loss, destruction or damage to their production facilities, the inventory of their products and their fixed assets, work safety liability insurance which covers work injuries at the operating subsidiaries' production facilities. The operating subsidiaries' main export credit insurance covers majority of the commercial risks and political risks in relation to the operating subsidiaries' export transactions. The export credit insurance covers risks in relation to (i) commercial risks occurs when the buyer defaults on payment for goods, refuses to take delivery of goods or goes bankrupt or insolvent; and (ii) political risks occurs when the country or region of the buyer prohibits or restricts the buyer from paying for goods, an import ban is imposed on the goods purchased by the buyer, any war, civil war or riot makes the buyer unable to perform contract or a third party country through which the payment by the buyer has to be routed issues a moratorium. The insurance company is responsible for compensating for up to majority of the loss resulting from the commercial risks or political risks.

In line with general market practice, the operating subsidiaries do not maintain any business interruption insurance, which is not mandatory under the relevant laws of the PRC. The operating subsidiaries do not main key-man life insurance or insurance policies covering damages to their IT infrastructure or information technology systems. We believe that the operating subsidiaries are covered by adequate property and liability insurance policies which are customary for similar companies in the PRC, North America and Europe. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the operating subsidiaries did not make any material insurance claims in relation to their business. Our management evaluates the adequacy of the operating subsidiaries' insurance coverage from time to time, and the operating subsidiaries purchase additional insurance policies as needed. However, the operating subsidiaries' insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all losses that may occur. Please refer to the section headed "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — The operating subsidiaries' insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all risks in relation to their business operations."

**Properties and Facilities**

Our principal executive offices are located in Xinyu, Jiangxi, China. The operating subsidiaries own seven parcels of land with an aggregate gross site area of approximately 3.9 million square feet, and owned and occupied 32 buildings with a total gross floor area of approximately 1.2 million square feet in Mainland PRC. The operating subsidiaries also lease lands and buildings from independent third parties with an aggregate gross floor area of 297,201 square feet in Mainland PRC, the U.S., the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom and France. These leases vary in duration from one year to ten years. The properties and facilities the operating subsidiaries own and lease serve the functions of product manufacturing, research and development, warehousing, marketing, and customer services.

We believe that the operating subsidiaries' existing facilities are sufficient for their current needs.

**Seasonality**

Our operating results are affected by the seasonality of the orders the operating subsidiaries receive. We typically experience lower revenue in the fourth quarter every year due to the decrease in demand for the operating subsidiaries' toner cartridges in offices before and during the Christmas holidays. As the majority of the operating subsidiaries' customers are located in North America and Europe, the demand of printers used in offices and schools tends to decrease when the operating subsidiaries' customers are on vacation during those periods. We expect such patterns to continue in the future.

**Legal Proceedings**

On November 12, 2021, ML Products, Inc. filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Aster US, a subsidiary of the Company, and five other defendants, claiming that Aster US (i) violated the Lanham Act by conducting false advertising, (ii) violated the California Business and Professions Code §17200 by engaging in unfair competition, and (iii) violated the California Business and Professions Code §17500 by conducting false advertisement. On February 9, 2022, Aster US filed a motion to dismiss the complaint with the court. On September 27, 2023, the court ruled on our motion to dismiss, granting our motion in part. On October 12, 2023, ML Products filed a revised complaint, and we filed an answer on December 8, 2023. This case is currently in the fact discovery phase. On February 9, 2026, the parties filed a joint stipulation to extend discovery and pre-trial deadlines by two months, with fact discovery now scheduled to close on April 17, 2026. The scope of remaining fact discovery during the extended period is limited to (i) a Rule 30(b)(1) deposition of Mr. Eric Zhong and (ii) efforts by the parties to resolve outstanding discovery issues raised in the parties' meet-and-confer on January 29, 2026, including motion practice if necessary. Trial is currently scheduled for October 5, 2026. The parties are also engaged in ongoing good-faith settlement discussions. If the reviewing court determines that these claims are successfully established, monetary relief or injunctive relief may be granted to the plaintiff. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and we are defending ourselves vigorously. There is uncertainty, however, regarding the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit. We maintain liability insurance, pursuant to which we are presently seeking confirmation by the provider to determine if our policy entitles us to receive liability coverage or contribution towards our related legal expenses and fees. We are not able to predict the scale of liability, if any, potential monetary impact or outcome of this case at this time.

We and the operating subsidiaries may from time to time be subject to various legal or administrative claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We and the operating subsidiaries are not currently a party to any other material legal or administrative proceedings than as described in this section. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including our management's time and attention.

**Regulations**

This section sets forth a summary of applicable laws, rules, regulations, government and industry policies and requirements that have a significant impact on the operating subsidiaries' operations and business. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of all laws and regulations, which apply to the operating subsidiaries' business and operations. Investors should note that the following summary is based on relevant laws and regulations in force as of the date of this annual report, which may be subject to change.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and from January 1, 2026 to the date of this annual report, the operating subsidiaries did not commit any material non-compliance of the applicable laws and regulations. During the same periods, the operating subsidiaries did not experience any non-compliance, taken as a whole, that would have a materially negative impact on their business, our results of operations, or the operating subsidiaries' ability to operate their business in a legally compliant manner.

**Item 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS**

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and their related notes included in this annual report. This report contains forward-looking statements. In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the information provided under the caption "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors" in this annual report. We caution you that our businesses and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.

**A. <u>Operating Results</u>**

**Overview**

Through the operating subsidiaries, we are an export-oriented manufacturer and seller of compatible toner cartridges based in the PRC, the U.S., and Europe, with the mission to deliver high-quality and cost-effective printing solutions to consumers around the world with our proprietary technology, research and development capabilities and our integrated and localized sales, logistics and service platform.

Through the operating subsidiaries, we primarily develop and manufacture compatible toner cartridges that can be used for a wide range of commonly available models of laser printers from different manufacturers, on a white-label or third-party brand basis or under our self-owned brands. Through the operating subsidiaries, we have a wide international footprint through offline sales channels, and the operating subsidiaries' products are mainly sold to customers in the U.S. and Germany. Through the operating subsidiaries, we also have online sales channels that allow our self-owned brands have a global reach. Customers of the operating subsidiaries range from wholesalers, dealers to retail customers. We believe that our integrated business model encompassing a value chain from research and development, patented technology, manufacturing, and operating localized sales branches and online sales channels, allows us to capture industry opportunities in a timely manner and provides us with a stable growth potential. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, our revenue was primarily generated from our customers in North America and Europe.

Through the operating subsidiaries, we sell our products: (i) to offline overseas customers who own their brands on an ODM basis; (ii) to offline overseas dealers who primarily resell white-label products and self-branded products to end consumers; and (iii) directly to customers on a retail basis under self-owned brands through online retail platforms. There is no major difference in terms of product capability between the ODM products and white-label products offered by the operating subsidiaries, and the main difference lies in product packaging and pricing.

Our revenue increased by US$5.4 million, or 3.6%, from US$149.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$155.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, we realized a net income of US$7.1 million and a net loss of US$8.3 million, respectively. This shift was mainly due to (i) an increase in share-based compensation expenses of US$8.6 million resulting from share grants under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company (the "2025 Equity Incentive Plan") (see Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this annual report), and (ii) a decrease of gross profit of US$6.6 million, which was primarily attributable to lower average selling prices and increased material costs from a product mix shift towards new products, (iii) an increase of selling expenses of US$4.2 million, primarily driven by higher freight charges from the warehouses of the Online Selling Platform, as well as increased payroll and lease expenses from investments in headcount and infrastructure to support our business expansion, (iv) an increase of income tax expenses with less tax losses carryforward available and was offset by (v) an increase of US$2.6 million from a foreign exchange gain to a foreign exchange loss, mainly due to exchange rate fluctuations, (vi) a decrease in fair value loss on derivative instruments of US$0.8 million, mainly due to the maturity of existing contracts and our decision to refrain from entering new ones in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and (vii) an increase in gain from disposal of subsidiaries of US$0.7 million. Further details are set forth in Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Our revenue decreased by US$0.4 million, or 0.3%, from US$150.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$149.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our net income decreased by US$0.7 million, or 8.5%, from US$7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was mainly due to (i) a decrease of gross profit of US$6.7 million mainly due to (a) a decrease in revenue from offline sales to ODM customers of US$2.9 million due to the fierce competition in the markets such as Russia, Germany, Mexico, and Eastern Europe; (b) an increase in cost of revenue of US$6.3 million mainly due to the increase in ocean freight charges and increased tariffs resulting from the increased sales volume in the United States, and offset by (ii) a decrease in loss on changes in fair value of foreign currency exchange forward contracts that we purchased to manage the volatility of changes in foreign exchange rates, which led to an increase of loss of US$4.3 million, which was mitigated by an increase in foreign exchange loss of US$1.6 million, and (iii) an increase in other non-operating income of US$1.2 million, mainly due to the increased demands of packing, labeling and other services provided to our offline dealer customers.

**Major Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations**

Our business and results of operations are affected by a number of general factors that impact compatible toner cartridge industry including, among others, economic, political and social conditions in the PRC, export regulations or enforcement, economic and regulatory conditions or global trade policy of the U.S. or Europe, changes in the business strategies of U.S. customers or European customers, any increase in customer demand for our products, raw material costs, and the competitive environment. Unfavorable changes in any of these general factors could adversely affect demand for our products and materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

While our business is influenced by these general factors, our results of operations are more directly affected by the following company-specific factors.

 ****

 ****

***Ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers***

The compatible toner cartridge market is characterized by rapid technological development and continual introduction of new models. As a specialized manufacturer of toner cartridges, our future success depends largely on the number of customers using the operating subsidiaries' products. To successfully maintain customer basis relies heavily upon excellent product quality and functionality, and prompt responses to the latest developments in the compatible toner cartridge market. Some factors that may affect the ability of the operating subsidiaries to meet customer demands and to attract customers include: the ability to (i) develop or acquire the necessary technical know-hows to design and manufacture new products and to enhance or adapt existing products to respond to changes in printer technologies, market trends and customer demands; (ii) manage growth while maintaining the consistency of product quality, promote products to a broader base of prospective customers; and (iii) provide satisfactory customer support and after-sale services in a timely manner. We believe the operating subsidiaries' strong design, research and development capabilities represent a key strength that allows us to provide patent-compliant products with advanced technologies to their customers.

 ****

***Ability to manage inventories efficiently***

Our inventories consist of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods. For self-branded products and white-label products, the operating subsidiaries' sales and marketing department, based on their understanding of historical sales and perceived market trends, formulates annual sales targets at the Company's level and at the regional level. The operating subsidiaries manufacture their ODM products on a made-to-order basis. We believe that maintaining an appropriate level of inventories helps the operating subsidiaries deliver their products to meet the market demands in a timely manner. Meanwhile, it is critical to keep close observation on changing sales condition due to change in consumer demand or preferences, change of marketing strategy by customers or incorrect estimation of the market demand for products, as well as technological upgrades of printer which renders the operating subsidiaries' toner cartridge not compatible with it anymore and exposes us to risks of obsolete inventories. Our research and development capabilities have been instrumental to the quality and time-to-market of the operating subsidiaries' products, which are our key strengths.

 ****

***Ability to establish higher prices for our products***

Our results of operations are affected by the pricing of the operating subsidiaries' products. For ODM products and white-label products, the operating subsidiaries generally price their products on the basis of a cost-plus calculation of the costs involved in manufacturing, and with reference to the prevailing market prices. The operating subsidiaries are generally able to charge higher price for their products as a result of their localized operation and ancillary services provided to offline customers including drop ship service, private labeling and customized packing services. We believe that the quality and reliability of the operating subsidiaries' products coupled with their localized customer services are vital in maintaining customer loyalty and upholding their reputation and higher price of products.

 ****

***Ability to control production and material costs***

Our cost of inventory sold mainly consists of the raw materials used in production of toner cartridges such as OPC drums, toner and chips which form a major part of our cost of sales. The operating subsidiaries source raw materials predominantly from PRC suppliers. The prices of the operating subsidiaries' raw materials are largely dependent on market forces, such as fluctuations of commodity prices, market supply and demand, and logistics and transport costs. As their business further grows in scale and the operating subsidiaries establish themselves as a major player in the China compatible toner cartridges industry, the operating subsidiaries expect to have higher bargaining power and hence more favorable terms from suppliers, including pricing and payment terms.

 ****

***Impact related to global economic factors***

The military invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions against Russia resulting from such conflict may increase the likelihood of supply chain interruptions and may impair our ability to compete in current or future markets, or otherwise subject us to potential liability. Our revenue generated from Russia were US$6.3 million and US$3.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively, representing 4.2% and 2.3% of our total revenue, respectively. Our revenue generated from Eastern Europe was US$13.6 million and nil for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively, representing 9.1% and nil of our total revenue, respectively. In 2024, to mitigate potential adverse impacts on our business and operating results caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, we proactively reduced the scale of our sales in Russia and Ukraine. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not generate any revenue from Russia or Eastern Europe. In addition, conflicts in the Middle East, particularly in the Iran region, have contributed to higher global oil prices due to risks of supply disruptions near the Strait of Hormuz. These developments have resulted in increased maritime insurance costs, route diversions, and delivery delays, thereby disrupting global supply chains and increasing logistics costs. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not generate any revenue from the Iran region. As of the date of this annual report, we do not believe that our business segments, products, lines of service, projects, or operations have been materially impacted by the foregoing global supply chain disruptions; however, we cannot guarantee that we will not be materially impacted by the economic uncertainty and volatility in the markets in the future, especially in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

***Global trade policies and tariffs***

Our results of operations are subject to risks arising from global trade policies and tariff regimes that impact cross-border commerce. Because we manufacture compatible toner cartridges that are primarily sold into the U.S. and European markets, changes in trade relations, the imposition of new tariffs, or the modification of existing duties could directly affect our cost structure and pricing. For example, tariffs on finished goods could reduce the competitiveness of our products in key markets.

In addition, shifts in trade policy between the U.S., the European Union (the "EU"), and other jurisdictions may create uncertainty in demand, supply chain logistics, and customer purchasing behavior. Heightened trade restrictions or retaliatory measures could limit our ability to source materials efficiently or to serve customers on commercially favorable terms. Recently, U.S. President, Donald J. Trump, announced that the U.S. would impose significant tariffs on Chinese imports. There have been ongoing negotiations between U.S, and Chinese government officials regarding these tariffs and the reciprocal tariffs introduced by the government of China. At present, Chinese and U.S. officials have reached an agreement to temporarily reduce reciprocal tariffs while trade negotiations continue. Despite this temporary pause, a heightened tariff environment persists, and there is no assurance that the reduced tariff rates will be extended or that additional tariffs or other trade restrictions will not be imposed with little warning. The additional tariffs imposed by the U.S. government on certain products imported from China may impact our supply chain and cost structure.

Tensions between the U.S. and China have led to a series of tariffs being imposed by the U.S. on imports from mainland China, as well as other business restrictions. The rise in tariff costs has directly pushed up the import costs of our products when entering the U.S. market, which adversely impacted the gross margin that we earn on our products. Tariffs can also make our products more expensive for customers, which could make our products less competitive and reduce consumer demand. Our revenue generated from the U.S. market were US$80.9 million, US$74.9 million and US$72.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, representing 53.8%, 50.0% and 46.7% of our total revenues, respectively. As of the date of this annual report, the tariff policies have had an adverse impact on our sales channels, particularly with respect to offline sales to dealers in the U.S., where we experienced a decrease in demand amid negative market sentiment. In order to mitigate such impact, we proactively adjusted our strategy to reallocate resources toward market expansion and development in other channels and regions, which contributed to an increase in revenue in Asia. We cannot guarantee that we will not be materially impacted by future changes in U.S. tariff rates or related trade policy uncertainties and market volatility, especially in light of potential adjustments to Sino-U.S. trade relations and tariff measures.

Although we continue to monitor developments in trade policy and evaluate alternative sales strategies, the ultimate impact of global trade policies and tariffs remains difficult to predict and could materially affect our sales volumes, margins, and overall financial performance.

***Net revenue***

 

*<u>Comparison by Sales Channel</u>*

For our offline sales to dealers, we mainly sell white-label products and self-branded products through our offline channels. Our revenue from offline sales to dealers decreased by 15.2%, from US$85.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$72.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which primarily due to decrease of sales volume and lower average selling prices under the impact of intensified competition and U.S. tariff policies.

For our direct offline sales to ODM customers, our revenue increased by 31.5%, from US$51.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$67.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The growth was primarily attributable to a significant increase in orders from U.S. customers, which was driven by our decision to lower average selling prices and reallocate more resources toward direct offline sales to ODM customers in response to intensified industry competition and the impact of U.S. tariff policies to mitigate the decrease of offline sales to dealers.

For our online sales, we mainly sell self-branded and household products through the Online Selling Platforms. Our revenue generated from online sales increased by 18.4%, from US$12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, mainly due to a marked increase in sales volume driven by our decision to lower average selling prices and enrichment of our products.

*<u>Comparison by Area</u>*

Our revenue generated from North America decreased from US$90.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$86.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. This downturn was primarily due to the U.S. tariff policies, which adversely softened the demand across the North American market.

Our revenue generated from Europe remained steady with a slight decreased by 2.8%, from US$48.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$47.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Our revenue generated from Asia increased by 89.5%, from US$9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, resulting from the success in expanding our sales in the Chinese market.

Our revenue generated from others increased by US$1.1 million, or 67.7%, from US$1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The growth was driven by higher order volumes from returned customers in Brazil with our solid reputation and customer satisfaction.

 ****

***Cost of revenue***

Our cost of revenue increased by 12.3% from US$97.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$109.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily attributable to (i) a US$11.9 million increase in costs of revenue attributable to offline sales to ODM customers, consistent with higher offline sales volume to ODM customers, and (ii) an increase of US$2.0 million in the costs of revenue attributable to online sales to retail customers, primarily attributable to the increased material costs mainly for new types of products and in line with the increase in online sales volume.

 ****

***Gross profit and gross profit margin***

Gross profit of offline sales to dealers decreased by 35.5%, from US$31.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$20.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to the decrease in sales volume, and the gross profit margin rate decreased from 36.5% to 27.7%. The decrease in gross profit margin rate was primarily attributable to lower average selling prices and increased material costs from a product mix shift towards new products.

Gross profit of offline sales to ODM customers increased by 33.4%, from US$12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$16.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the gross margin rate remained steady with a slight increase from 24.4% to 24.8%. The slight increase in gross margin was a comprehensive result of expanded sales volumes driven by our lower selling prices in response to the competition and the impact of U.S. tariff policies.

Gross profit of online sales to retail customers increased by 4.4%, from US$8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to the increase in sales volume. Gross profit margin decreased from 65.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 58.1% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to lower average selling prices and increased material costs from a product mix shift towards new products.

***Selling expenses***

Our selling expenses increased from US$30.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by (i) an increase of US$1.9 million in freight expenses charged by the warehouses of the Online Selling Platforms, (ii) an increase of US$0.6 million in office expenses resulting from our business development; and (iii) an increase of US$0.6 million due to the execution of new lease agreements for offices in China and warehouses primarily in the United States, which aligns with our ongoing business expansion efforts.

***General and administrative expenses***

Our general and administrative expenses increased by US$3.8 million, from US$8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, mainly due to an increase in share-based compensation expenses of US$4.1 million resulting from share grants under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan.

***Research and development expenses***

Our research and develop expenses increased from US$6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was primarily attributable to an increase in share-based compensation expenses of US$4.5 million resulting from share grants under the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, partially offset by a decrease of US$0.9 million attributable to a reduction in the number of development projects compared to the same period in the prior year.

 ****

***Other (expenses)/income***

Our other income increased from US$0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The improvement was primarily attributable to (i) realization of a foreign exchange gain of US$1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, in contrast to a foreign exchange loss of US$1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations among US$, EUR and RMB, (ii) a decrease of US$0.8 million in fair value loss on derivative instruments, mainly due to the maturity of existing derivative instruments and our decision not to enter into any new ones during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, (iii) a gain on disposal of subsidiaries of US$0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 (Further details are set forth in Note 3 of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report), (iv) we realized an other non-operating income, net of US$2.0 and US$2.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively, (v) realization of an interest income, net of US$0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, in contrast to an interest expense, net of US$0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 because we increased financial management of idle funds, and (vi) the fact that our government subsidy decreased by US$0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

 ****

***Income tax expenses***

Our income tax expenses increased from US$0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to US$2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was primarily due to the increase in the taxable income with less tax losses carryforward available for the year ended December 31, 2025.

 ****

***Net income (loss)***

As a result of the foregoing, we recorded net income of US$7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and a net loss of US$8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2024** 

***Net revenue***

*<u>Comparison by Sales Channel</u>*

For our offline sales to dealers, we mainly sell white-label products and self-branded products through our offline channels. Our revenue from offline sales to dealers increased by 1.2% from US$84.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$85.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly because we continuously expanded our local sales to dealers with online sales operations, utilized our warehousing, logistics and IT system and obtained more orders from dealers. For the year ended December 31, 2024, along with our dealers' expansion on their online sales business, we achieved a steady growth in sales of products to dealers.

For our direct offline sales to ODM customers, our revenue decreased by 5.4% from US$54.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$51.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was primarily attributable to the decline of sales in Russia, Germany, Mexico, and Eastern European markets due to more intense price competition resulting from limited protection of patented products in these markets, as well as that we proactively reduced the scale of our sales in Russia to mitigate potential adverse impacts on our business and operating results caused by the Russia-Ukraine war.

For our online sales, we mainly sell self-branded and household products through online selling platforms. Our revenue generated from online sales increased by 13.3% from US$11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$12.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was primarily due to more new household and other products, such as electric appliances and articles for daily use, being sold through online channels. Such products were manufactured by third parties and procured by us for resale in the U.S. and European markets. In addition, we still seek to develop online sales channels of more household products to enrich our product portfolio to mitigate the competition impact.

*<u>Comparison by Area</u>*

Our revenue generated from North America remained steady with a slight increase from US$89.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$90.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was primarily attributable to our continued market expansion in the U.S.

Our revenue generated from Europe decreased by 8.7% from US$53.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$48.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was primarily attributable to the decline in sales in the Eastern Europe market, as we did not reduce the prices of our products as much as other competitors did while facing more intense price competition, which caused customer attrition in Europe and we proactively reduced the scale of our sales in Russia and Ukraine to mitigate potential adverse impacts on our business and operating results caused by the Russia-Ukraine war.

Our revenue generated from others increased by 51.6% from US$7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting from our market expansion in China and Brazil.

***Cost of revenue***

Our cost of revenue increased by 6.9% from US$91.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$97.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily attributable to (i) an increase of US$9.0 million in the cost for the offline sales to dealers mainly due to the increase in ocean freight charges, material costs and labor costs resulting from the growth of our sales volume, offset by (ii) a decrease in our costs of US$3.4 million consistent with the decrease of offline sales volume to ODM customers.

***Gross profit and gross profit margin***

Gross profit of offline sales to dealers decreased by 20.3% from US$39.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$31.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the gross profit margin rate decreased from 46.1% to 36.5%, primarily due to an increase of the market price of ocean freight charges and higher material and labor costs under stricter production standards.

Gross profit of offline sales to ODM customers increased by 4.5% from US$11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$12.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the gross margin rate increased from 21.8% to 24.4%, primarily because we did not take orders with low margins or potential losses under the tense competition especially in Mexican, Portland and Brazil markets. We are continuously monitoring the market situation to make timely adjustments to our selling prices, but we do not intend to actively decrease our selling price to mitigate the decrease in gross margin.

Gross profit of online sales to retail customers increased by 9.7% from US$7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to the increase in sales volume. Gross profit margin remained relatively stable from 68.0% for the year ended December 31, 2023 to 65.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly due to our flexible decision to slightly decline selling prices to attract more customers under severe competition.

***Selling expenses***

Our selling expenses remained relatively stable from US$30.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$30.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by (i) the increase of US$1.0 million in freight expenses charged by warehouses of online selling platforms, (ii) the increase of US$0.2 million in sales commissions of the online selling platforms, resulting from the increased sales volume, and offset by the decrease of US$1.1 million in payroll expenses due to the decreased bonus.

***General and administrative expenses***

Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 7.9% from US$9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in payroll expenses of US$0.8 million for less bonuses to management officers, and offset by (ii) an increase in consulting fees and other professional service fees of US$0.1 million.

***Research and development expenses***

Our research and develop expenses remained relatively stable of US$6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared with US$6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease of US$0.2 million in materials consumed by focusing on research and development activities with less material requirements, and (ii) a decrease of US$0.2 million in staff costs.

***Other income (expenses)***

Our other non-operating income increased by US$1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, which was primarily attributable to increased demand for packing, labeling and other services to offline dealer customers. Our government subsidy increased by US$0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Fair value loss on derivative instruments was US$0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to US$5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the favorable exchange rate fluctuations in 2024. Foreign exchange loss was US$1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to foreign exchange income of US$0.2 million in 2023, arising from currency exchange among US$, EUR, Hong Kong Dollar, RMB and Great Britain Pound. Interest expenses decreased by US$0.4 million from US$0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 for fewer short-term bank borrowings.

***Income tax expenses***

Our income tax expenses decreased from US$0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was primarily due to the decrease in the taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Net income***

As a result of the foregoing, our net income decreased by 8.5% from US$7.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to US$7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**B. <u>Liquidity and Capital Resources</u>**

As of December 31, 2025, we had US$53.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which consisted of (i) cash in mainland China of US$31.7 million; (ii) cash in the BVI of US$14.4 million; (iii) cash in the Cayman Islands of $2.8 million; (iv) cash in the U.S. of US$1.5 million; (v) cash in Hong Kong of $1.5 million; (vi) cash in Europe of US$1.4 million; and (vii) cash in the UK of US$0.6 million. As of December 31, 2024, we had US$45.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which consisted of (i) cash in mainland China of US$17.9 million; (ii) cash in the BVI of US$20.1 million; (iii) cash in the Cayman Islands of $3.6 million; (iv) cash in Europe of US$1.4 million; (v) cash in the U.S. of US$1.3 million; (vi) cash in Hong Kong of US$0.9 million; and (vii) cash in the U.K. of US$0.7 million. Under the existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments, and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of the PRC by complying with certain procedural requirements. Therefore, there is no material restriction on foreign exchange that impairs our ability to transfer cash between entities and to U.S. investors.

Our net cash flow used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, was US$2.1 million and US$2.4 million, respectively. Our principal source of cash came from our operational income and bank loans. Most of our cash resources were used to pay for the procurement of raw materials, purchase of equipment and property, and payroll and rental expense. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt repayment obligations for at least the next 12 months.

***Operating activities***

For the year ended December 31, 2025, our net cash used in operating activities was US$2.4 million, which was primarily attributable to (i) net loss of US$8.3 million; (ii) an adjustment of added back non-cash items of a net amount of US$13.3 million, inclusive of share-based compensation, amortization and depreciation, allowance for credit losses and other non-cash items; and (iii) changes in working capital that negatively affected the cash flow from operating activities, primarily including (a) an increase of $17.4 million in accounts receivable, primarily due to us granting extended payment terms to certain key customers to enhance customer retention and maintain market competitiveness; and (b) a decrease of US$1.3 million in operating lease liabilities, primarily attributable to lease payments made during the year; and mainly offset by (iv) changes in working capital that positively affected the cash flow from operating activities, primarily including (a) a decrease of inventories of US$5.5 million, mainly due to our inventory management in the U.S. market to mitigate potential impacts of evolving trade and tariff policies, (b) a decrease of $4.1 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets mainly due to lower advance payments to vendors as we established long-term cooperative relationships with suppliers in our household products business and obtained more favorable credit terms, and (c) an increase of $2.3 million in accounts payable and notes payable, primarily due to an increase in procurement volume.

Capital commitments are commitments in relation to the purchase of property and equipment including leasehold improvements. Operating lease obligations consist of leases in relation to certain offices and buildings, plants and other property for our sales and after-sales network.

Other than those shown above, we did not have any significant capital and other commitments, long-term obligations, or guarantees as of December 31, 2025.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financial guarantees or other off-balance sheet commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholders' equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or product development services with us.

**C. <u>Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.</u>**

See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Intellectual Property" and "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Research & Development."

**D. <u>Trend Information</u>**

Other than as disclosed below and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments, or events for the period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our net revenue, income, profitability, liquidity, or capital resources, or that caused the disclosed financial information to be not necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

**E. <u>Critical Accounting Estimates</u>**

An accounting policy is considered critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time such estimate is made, and if different accounting estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements.

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"), which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. We continually evaluate these estimates and assumptions based on the most recently available information, our own historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from our expectations as a result of changes in our estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application and require us to make significant accounting estimates.

The following descriptions of critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and other disclosures included in this annual report. When reviewing our financial statements, you should consider (i) our selection of critical accounting policies; (ii) the judgments and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies, and (iii) the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.

 ****

***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, at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant accounting estimates include but not limited to allowance for credit losses, impairment provision for inventories, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, determination of the fair value of derivative instruments and derivative liability arising from foreign exchange forward contracts, accounting for deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax 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.

 ****

***Accounts receivable, net***

Accounts receivable are recognized in the period when we have provided services to our customers and when our right to consideration is unconditional. We adopted ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement on Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", including certain subsequent amendments, transitional guidance and other interpretive guidance within ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 (collectively, including ASU 2016-13, "ASC 326") on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition approach. ASC 326 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate the allowance for credit losses, which replaces the previous incurred loss impairment model. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounts receivable are stated net of provision for credit losses. We have developed a current expected credit loss ("CECL") model based on historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of our customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. We consider historical collection rates, current financial status, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when estimating current expected credit losses.

***Inventories, net***

Inventories, primarily consisting of raw materials, goods in transit, work in progress and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average cost method. We write down the cost of obsolete and slow-moving inventories to the estimated net realizable value, based on inventory obsolescence trends, historical experience, forecasted consumer demand and application of the specific identification method.

 ****

 ****

***Revenue recognition***

Our revenues are mainly generated from the sales of compatible toner cartridges through offline and online channels. We provide products: (i) to offline overseas customers who own their brands on an ODM basis; (ii) to offline overseas dealers who primarily sell our self-branded products and white-label products to end consumers; and (iii) directly to customers on a retail basis under our self-owned brands through online retail platforms. There is no major difference in terms of product capability between our ODM products, white-label products and self-owned brand products, and the main difference lies in product packaging and pricing.

We usually enter into sales orders with customers or receive online sales orders, in which we identify the only performance obligation is to transfer the promised products stated in the sales order. We perform shipping services before the products are delivered to the designated place. Shipping service is determined as an activity to fulfill our promise to transfer the products, rather than another distinct performance obligation as it is performed before the customers obtain control of the products. In the normal course of business, our warranties are limited to product specifications, and we do not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. Accordingly, warranty costs are treated as a cost of fulfillment subject to accrual, rather than a performance obligation. We establish provisions for both estimated returns and warranties when revenue is recognized.

Revenues represent the amount of consideration to which we are entitled, comprising the product settlement price, net of value-added tax ("VAT"), surcharges, discounts and returns, if any. The transaction price is variable, as adjusted by return allowances and rebates, which we estimate using the expected value method and update to faithfully represent the circumstances present at the end of each reporting period and any changes in circumstances during the reporting period. We consider ourselves a principal as we produce all of the products ourselves. We recognize revenue from the sales of compatible toner cartridges at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customers upon acceptance, on a gross basis. Payment is usually required within four months after the issuance of an invoice for offline customers, and the consideration for online orders is collected in advance of shipment by the online platform. Therefore, it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration, and no significant financing component exists.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We disaggregate our revenue from contracts by sales channel and by region, as we believe this best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The disaggregation of our revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 is disclosed in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

Contract balance

When either party to a revenue contract has performed, we present the contract in the consolidated balance sheet as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between our performance and the customer's payment. We incur only incremental costs to obtain contracts with customers. We present any unconditional rights to consideration separately as a receivable. We do not have any contract assets.

We present consideration received from a customer before we transfer products to that customer as a contract liability (advances from customers) at the time payment is made. Advances from customers represent our obligation to transfer products to a customer for which we have received consideration.

 ****

***Recent accounting pronouncements***

A list of recently issued accounting pronouncements that are relevant to us is included in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

We are an emerging growth company ("EGC") as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act"). The JOBS Act provides that an EGC may take advantage of extended transition periods for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an EGC to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the extended transition periods, which may result in our financial statements not being comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates. However, this election will not apply should we cease to be classified as an EGC.

**Family Relationships**

**Controlled Company**

Our chairman of the board of directors, Mr. Weidong Gu, beneficially owns 27.18% of our issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and 100% of our total issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares, representing 97.09% of our total voting power. As a result, we are deemed a "controlled company" for the purpose of the Nasdaq listing rules. As a controlled company, we are permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from the obligations to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including:

● the requirement that our director nominees be selected or recommended solely by independent directors; and

● the requirement that we have a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee that are composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the purposes and responsibilities of the committees.

Although we do not intend to rely on the controlled company exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules even if we are deemed a controlled company, we could elect to rely on these exemptions in the future, and if so, you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.

**B. <u>Compensation</u>**

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we paid an aggregate of approximately US$0.53 million in cash to our executive officers and directors and we paid an aggregate of approximately US$0.1 million in compensation to our non-executive directors. We have not set aside or accrued any amount to provide pension, retirement or other similar benefits to our directors and executive officers.

Our Mainland PRC subsidiaries are required by law to make contributions equal to certain percentages of each employee's salary for his or her medical insurance, maternity insurance, workplace injury insurance, unemployment insurance, pension benefits through a PRC government-mandated multi-employer defined contribution plan and other statutory benefits. Our Hong Kong subsidiaries are required by the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance to make monthly contributions to the mandatory provident fund scheme in an amount equal to at least 5% of an employee's salary.

**C. <u>Board Practices</u>**

**Board of Directors**

Our board of directors consists of five directors. Unless otherwise determined by the Company in general meeting, the number of directors shall not be less than two. A director is not required to hold any shares in our company by way of qualification. A director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract with us is required to declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of our directors.

The directors may exercise all the powers of the company to borrow money, mortgage its undertaking, property and uncalled capital, and issue debentures or other securities whenever money is borrowed or as security for any obligation of the company or of any third party. None of our directors has a service contract with us that provides for benefits upon termination of service.

**Duties of Directors**

Under Cayman Islands law, our directors owe fiduciary duties to our company, including a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly, and a duty to act in good faith in what they consider to be in our best interests. Our directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. Our directors also have a duty to exercise the skills they actually possess and such care and diligence that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Although under Cayman Islands law, a controlling shareholder of a Cayman Islands company does not owe fiduciary duties to the company or its minority shareholders, a controlling shareholder who serves as a director of a company owes fiduciary duties in his or her capacity as a director to such company, for as long as he or she serves on the company's board of directors. Certain shareholders of our controlling shareholder serve on our board of directors and, as a result, owe the aforementioned fiduciary duties to us.

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.

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 Executive Officers**

Our officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors. Our directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until their resignation, death or incapacity, or until their respective successors have been elected and qualified or he or she is removed from office pursuant to any other provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

A director will also vacate his office as a director if, among other things, the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors, (ii) dies or becomes of unsound mind, (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing, (iv) without special leave of absence from our board, is absent from meetings of our board for six consecutive months and our board resolved that his office be vacated.

**Interested Transactions**

A director may, subject to any separate requirement for audit committee approval under applicable law, the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association or the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules, or disqualification by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which he or she is interested, provided that the nature of the interest of any directors in such contract or transaction is disclosed by him or her at or prior to its consideration and any vote in that matter.

A general notice by any director to the effect that he is a member or officer of a specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or arrangement with that company or firm, shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect to a contract or transaction in which he has an interest.

After such general notice, special notice relating to any particular transaction shall not be required. A director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement notwithstanding that he may be interested therein. If he does so his vote shall be counted, and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or proposed contract or arrangement is considered.

**Employment Agreements and Indemnification Agreements**

We have entered into employment agreements with our executive officers. Each of our executive officers is employed for a continuous term unless either we or the executive officer gives prior notice to terminate such employment, or for a specified time period, or for a specified time period which will be renewed automatically unless a notice of non-renewal is given. We may terminate an executive officer's employment for cause, at any time, without notice or remuneration, including but not limited to as a result of the executive officer's commitments of any serious or persistent breach or non-observance of the terms and conditions of the employment, conviction of a criminal offence, fraud or dishonesty, habitual neglect of his or her duties, material misconduct being inconsistent with the due and faithful discharge of the executive officer's material duties or material breach of internal procedures or regulations which causes damage to the Company. An executive officer may terminate his or her employment at any time with one month's prior written notice.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, we agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against all liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being a director or officer of our company to the fullest extent permitted by law with certain limited exceptions.

**Committees of the Board of Directors**

We have established three committees under the board of directors: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. We have adopted a charter for each of the three committees. Each committee's members and functions are described below.

 ****

***Audit Committee***

Our audit committee consists of Mr. Tan Kwong Hun, Ms. Fenglei Jiang and Mr. Xinwei Xie. Mr. Tan Kwong Hun is the chairperson of our audit committee.

Our compensation committee consists of Mr. Tan Kwong Hun, Ms. Fenglei Jiang and Mr. Xinwei Xie. Ms. Fenglei Jiang is the chairperson of our compensation committee. We have determined that Mr. Tan Kwong Hun, Ms. Fenglei Jiang and Mr. Xinwei Xie satisfy the "independence" requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules.

The compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. Our chief executive officer may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation is deliberated.

The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

● reviewing and approving, or recommending to the board for its approval, the compensation for our chief executive officer and other executive officers;

***Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee***

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Mr. Tan Kwong Hun, Ms. Fenglei Jiang and Mr. Xinwei Xie. Mr. Xinwei Xie is the chairperson of our nominating and corporate governance committee. We have determined that Mr. Tan Kwong Hun, Ms. Fenglei Jiang and Mr. Xinwei Xie satisfy the "independence" requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules.

The nominating and corporate governance committee assists the board of directors in selecting directors and in determining the composition of our board and board committees. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

● identifying and recommending nominees for election or re-election to our board of directors, or for appointment to fill any vacancy;

● reviewing annually with our board of directors its composition in light of the characteristics of independence, age, skills, experience and availability of service to us;

● identifying and recommending to our board the directors to serve as members of committees;

● advising the board periodically with respect to developments in the law and practice of corporate governance as well as our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

● making recommendations to our board of directors on corporate governance matters and on any corrective action to be taken; and

● monitoring compliance with our code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our procedures to ensure compliance.

**Code of Business Conduct and Ethics**

Our board of directors has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics, which is applicable to all of our directors, officers, and employees. Our code of business conduct and ethics is publicly available on our website.

**Compensation Recovery Policy** 

We have adopted a compensation recovery policy to provide for the recovery of erroneously-awarded incentive compensation, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, final SEC rules and applicable listing standards.

**Foreign Private Issuer Status**

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act, prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements. Section 8103 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, named the "Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act", which was signed into law on December 18, 2025, requires directors and officers of foreign private issuers to make insider reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, effective March 18, 2026. Our principal shareholders continue to remain exempt from the reporting under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and our directors, officers and principal shareholders continue to remain exempt from the short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file quarterly periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. domestic issuers and are not required to disclose in its periodic reports all of the information that U.S. domestic issuers are required to disclose. We are permitted to follow corporate governance practices in accordance with Cayman Islands law in lieu of most of the corporate governance rules set forth by Nasdaq. As a result, our corporate governance practices differ in some respects from those required to be followed by U.S. companies listed on a national securities exchange.

**D. <u>Employees</u>**

See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Employees."

**E. <u>Share Ownership</u>**

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of our ordinary shares as of the date of this annual report for:

● each of our directors and executive officers;

● our directors and executive officers as a group; and

● each person known to us to own beneficially more than 5% of our ordinary shares.

Beneficial ownership includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Except as indicated below, and subject to applicable community property laws, the persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares shown as beneficially owned by them. Percentage of beneficial ownership of each listed person is based on 32,918,421 Class A ordinary shares and 26,315,800 Class B ordinary shares outstanding as of the date of this annual report.

Information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each director, officer, or beneficial owner of 5% or more of our ordinary shares. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally requires that such person have voting or investment power with respect to securities. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person listed below and the percentage ownership of such person, shares underlying options, warrants, or convertible securities held by each such person that are exercisable or convertible within 60 days of the date of this annual report are deemed outstanding, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, or as required by applicable community property laws, all persons listed have sole voting and investment power for all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

**Item 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION**

**A. <u>Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information</u>**

We have appended consolidated financial statements filed as part of this annual report. See "Item 18. Financial Statements."

**Legal Proceedings**

On November 12, 2021, ML Products, Inc. filed a complaint with the United States District Court for the Central District of California against Aster US, a subsidiary of the Company, and five other defendants, claiming that Aster US (i) violated the Lanham Act by conducting false advertising, (ii) violated the California Business and Professions Code §17200 by engaging in unfair competition, and (iii) violated the California Business and Professions Code §17500 by conducting false advertisement. On February 9, 2022, Aster US filed a motion to dismiss the complaint with the court. On September 27, 2023, the court ruled on our motion to dismiss, granting our motion in part. On October 12, 2023, ML Products filed a revised complaint and we filed an answer on December 8, 2023. This case is currently in the fact discovery phase. On February 9, 2026, the parties filed a joint stipulation to extend discovery and pre-trial deadlines by two months, with fact discovery now scheduled to close on April 17, 2026. The scope of remaining fact discovery during the extended period is limited to (i) a Rule 30(b)(1) deposition of Mr. Eric Zhong and (ii) efforts by the parties to resolve outstanding discovery issues raised in the parties' meet-and-confer on January 29, 2026, including motion practice if necessary. Trial is currently scheduled for October 5, 2026. The parties are also engaged in ongoing good-faith settlement discussions. If the reviewing court determines that these claims are successfully established, monetary relief or injunctive relief may be granted to the plaintiff. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and we are defending ourselves vigorously. There is uncertainty, however, regarding the ultimate resolution of this lawsuit. We maintain liability insurance, pursuant to which we are presently seeking confirmation by the provider to determine if our policy entitles us to receive liability coverage or contribution towards our related legal expenses and fees. We are not able to predict the scale of liability, if any, potential monetary impact or outcome of this case at this time.

We and the operating subsidiaries may from time to time be subject to various legal or administrative claims and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We and the operating subsidiaries are not currently a party to any other material legal or administrative proceedings than as described in this section. Litigation or any other legal or administrative proceeding, regardless of the outcome, is likely to result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources, including our management's time and attention.

**Dividend Policy**

Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute 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. In either case, all dividends are subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that we may only pay dividends out of profits or share premium, and provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if it would result in us being unable to pay our debts as they fall due. 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 our board of directors may deem relevant.

We do not have any plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our Class A ordinary shares in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and future earnings to operate and expand our business.

We are an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands. We rely principally on dividends distributed by our Mainland PRC subsidiaries and payments from our operating entities for our cash requirements, including distribution of dividends to our shareholders. Dividends distributed by our Mainland PRC subsidiaries are subject to Mainland PRC taxes.

In addition, PRC regulations may restrict the ability of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to us and only allow a Mainland PRC company to pay dividends out of its accumulated distributable after-tax profits as determined in accordance with its articles of association and the Mainland PRC accounting standards and regulations. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in the PRC — We may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our Mainland PRC subsidiaries to make payments to us and any tax we are required to pay could have a material and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business."

We incorporate by reference into this annual report the description of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, which was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this annual report.

**Registered Office**

Our registered office in the Cayman Islands is located at Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands, and the phone number of our registered office is +1-345-949-1040.

**Board of Directors**

See "Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees."

**Ordinary Shares**

***General***

 **

Our authorized share capital is HK$380,000 divided into 3,800,000,000 shares, of nominal or par value of HK$0.0001 each, comprising of (i) 2,000,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.0001 each, (ii) 1,000,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.0001 each, and (iii) 800,000,000 preference shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.0001 each. All our outstanding ordinary shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the ordinary shares are issued in registered form. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their ordinary shares.

 ****

***Dividends***

The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our shareholders or board of directors subject to the Companies Act and to the articles of association.

 ****

***Conversion***

Each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof. Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances. Upon any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of any Class B ordinary shares by a holder thereof to any person or entity, such Class B ordinary shares will be automatically and immediately converted into an equal number of Class A ordinary shares.

***Voting Rights***

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares shall, at all times, vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote by the shareholders. Each Class A ordinary share shall be entitled to one vote on all matters subject to vote at general and special meetings of our company and each Class B ordinary share shall be entitled to 30 votes on all matters subject to vote at general and special meetings of our company. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairman of such meeting or any one shareholder present in person or by proxy.

An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of votes attached to the ordinary shares cast in a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of votes cast attached to the ordinary shares. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our memorandum and articles of association.

 ****

 ****

***Transfer of Ordinary Shares***

Subject to the restrictions contained in our articles of association, as applicable, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his, her or its ordinary shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share. 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;

● the ordinary shares transferred are fully paid and free of any lien in our favor; and

● any fee related to the transfer has been paid to us; and

● the transfer is not to more than four joint holders.

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.

 ****

***Liquidation***

On a return of capital on winding up or otherwise (other than on conversion, redemption or purchase of ordinary shares), assets available for distribution among the holders of ordinary shares shall be distributed among the holders of the ordinary shares on a *pro rata* basis. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by our shareholders proportionately.

 ****

***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. The ordinary shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

 ****

***Redemption of Ordinary Shares***

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and other applicable law, we may issue shares on terms that are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders, on such terms and in such manner, including out of capital, as may be determined by the board of directors.

***Variations of Rights of Shares***

If at any time, our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the special rights attached to any class of shares may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, be varied with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. Consequently, the rights of any class of shares cannot be detrimentally altered without a majority of two-thirds of the votes of all of the shares in that class cast at a meeting of the shareholders of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights 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.

 ****

 ****

***General Meetings of Shareholders***

Shareholders' meetings may be convened by a majority of our board of directors or our chairman or any director to give effect to a shareholder requisition. Advance notice of at least ten clear days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders' meeting and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in our company.

 ****

***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 in our articles provide our shareholders with the right to inspect our list of shareholders and to receive annual audited financial statements. See "Where You Can Find Additional Information."

 ****

***Changes in Capital***

We 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 shall prescribe;

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

● sub-divide our existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount; or

● 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.

We may by special resolution reduce our share capital or any capital redemption reserve in any manner permitted by law.

 ****

***Exempted Company***

We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands. The Companies Act in the Cayman Islands 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:

● 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 to inspection;

● does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

● 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. We are subject to reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable to foreign private issuers. We currently comply with and intend to continue complying with the Nasdaq Rules in lieu of following home country practice. The Nasdaq Rules require that every company listed on the Nasdaq hold an annual general meeting of shareholders. In addition, our articles of association allow directors to call special meetings of shareholders pursuant to the procedures set forth in our articles.

**Differences in Corporate Law**

The Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, form the older Companies Acts of England but does not follow recent English statutory enactments and accordingly there are significant differences between the Companies Act and the current Companies Act of England. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of certain significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the State of Delaware in the United States and their shareholders.

 ****

***Mergers and Similar Arrangements***

A merger of two or more constituent companies under Cayman Islands law requires a plan of merger or consolidation to be approved by the directors of each constituent company and authorization by (a) a special resolution of the members of each such constituent company and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company's articles of association.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders. For this purpose a subsidiary is a company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.

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 circumstances, a dissentient shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting to a merger or consolidation. The exercise of appraisal rights will preclude the exercise of any other rights save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

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, (i) in the case of a shareholder scheme, by seventy-five per cent in value of the members or class of members, as the case may be, with whom the arrangement is to be made and, (ii) in the case of a creditor scheme only a majority in number of each class of 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 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 and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

● 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 a dissentient minority shareholder upon a tender offer. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares for which the offer is made, the offeror may, within a two-month period commencing from such acceptance, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. 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 or lack of compliance with the statutory requirements.

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.

The Companies Act also contains statutory provisions which provide that a company may present a petition to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for the appointment of a restructuring officer on the grounds that the company (a) is or is likely to become unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 93 of the Companies Act; and (b) intends to present a compromise or arrangement to its creditors (or classes thereof) either, pursuant to the Companies Act, the law of a foreign country or by way of a consensual restructuring. The petition may be presented by a company acting by its directors, without a resolution of its members or an express power in its articles of association. On hearing such a petition, the Cayman Islands court may, among other things, make an order appointing a restructuring officer or make any other order as the court thinks fit.

***Shareholders' Suits***

In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff 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 in the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Islands courts can be expected to follow and apply the common law principles (namely the rule in *Foss v. Harbottle* and the exceptions thereto) so that a non-controlling shareholder may be permitted to commence a class action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge actions where:

● a company acts or proposes to act illegally or *ultra vires;* 

● the act complained of, although not *ultra vires,* could only be effected duly if authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; and

● those who control the company are perpetrating a "fraud on the minority."

 ****

***Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability***

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 memorandum and articles of association permit indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages arise from dishonesty or fraud which may attach to such directors or officers. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our memorandum and articles of association.

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.

 ****

***Anti-Takeover Provisions in the Memorandum and Articles of Association***

Some provisions of our memorandum and 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 preference shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders.

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

 ****

***Directors' Fiduciary Duties***

Under Delaware General Corporation 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. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her 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, a 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 is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company — a duty to act *bona fide* in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a personal profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him to do so) and a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. 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, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

 ****

***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. Our articles of association provide that shareholders may not approve corporate matters by way of a unanimous written resolution 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.

Cayman Islands law does not allow our shareholders to requisition a shareholders' meeting. However, our amended and restated articles of association provides that any one or more members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than one third of the paid up capital of the Company carrying the right of voting at general meetings of the Company shall at all times have the right, by written requisition to the board of directors or the secretary of the Company, to require an extraordinary general meeting to be called by the board of directors for the transaction of any business permitted by Article 58(3) as specified in such requisition; and such meeting shall be held within two (2) months after the deposit of such requisition. If within twenty one (21) days of such deposit the Board fails to proceed to convene such meeting the requisitionist(s) himself (themselves) may do so.

A meeting requisitioned under our articles of association shall not be permitted to consider or vote upon (1) any resolutions with respect to the election, appointment or removal of directors or with respect to the size of the board of directors, unless such proposal is first approved by the nominating and corporate governance committee of the board of directors; or (2) any special resolutions or any matters required to be passed by way of special resolution pursuant to our articles of association or the Companies Act. Other than by way of requisition under Article 58(2) of our articles of association, members have no right to propose resolutions or other business to be considered and voted upon at any general meeting of the Company. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders' annual general meetings. However, our articles of association require us to call such meetings every year.

 ****

***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. As permitted under Cayman Islands law, our articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

 ****

***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. Under our articles of association, directors may be removed by ordinary resolution.

 ****

***Transactions with Interested Shareholders***

The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware 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 stock within the past three years. This 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 Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into *bona fide* in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

 ****

***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 Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts, by an ordinary resolution of its members. 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.

Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands by a special resolution or its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts, by an ordinary resolution of its members. 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 Cayman Islands law and our articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

 ****

***Amendment of Governing Documents***

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation's governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by Cayman Islands law, our memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by special resolution of our shareholders.

 ****

***Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders***

There are no limitations imposed by our memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

 ****

***Directors' Power to Issue Shares***

Subject to applicable law, our board of directors is empowered to issue or allot shares or grant options and warrants with or without preferred, deferred, qualified or other special rights or restrictions.

**C. <u>Material Contracts</u>**

We have not entered into any material contracts other than in the ordinary course of business and other than those described in "Item 4. Information on the Company" or elsewhere in this annual report.

**D. <u>Exchange Controls</u>**

See "Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview—Regulations—Overview of the Mainland PRC Laws and Regulations—Foreign Exchange."

**E. <u>Taxation</u>**

**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 or holders of our Class A ordinary shares 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. Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our Class A 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 Class A ordinary shares, as the case may be, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Class A ordinary shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

**Mainland PRC Taxation**

 ****

***Income Tax and Withholding Tax***

In March 2007, the National People's Congress of China enacted the Enterprise Income Tax Law, or EIT Law, which became effective on January 1, 2008 (as amended in December 2018). The EIT Law provides that enterprises organized under the laws of jurisdictions outside Mainland China with their "de facto management bodies" located within Mainland China may be considered Mainland PRC resident enterprises and therefore subject to EIT at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income. The Implementing Rules of the EIT Law further defines the term "de facto management body" as the management body that exercises substantial and overall management and control over the business, personnel, accounts and properties of an enterprise.

In April 2009, the SAT issued the Notice Regarding the Determination of Chinese-Controlled Overseas Incorporated Enterprises as PRC Tax Resident Enterprises on the Basis of De Facto Management Bodies, known as SAT Circular 82, which provides certain specific criteria for determining whether the "de facto management body" of a Mainland PRC-controlled enterprise that is incorporated offshore is deemed to be located in Mainland China. Although SAT Circular 82 only applies to offshore enterprises controlled by Mainland PRC enterprises or Mainland PRC enterprise groups, not offshore enterprises controlled by Mainland PRC individuals or foreigners, the criteria set forth in the circular 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 all offshore enterprises.

According to SAT Circular 82, a Chinese-controlled offshore incorporated enterprise will be regarded as a Mainland PRC tax resident by virtue of having a "de facto management body" in Mainland China and will be subject to Mainland 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.

The Administrative Measures for Income Tax on Chinese-controlled Resident Enterprises Incorporated Overseas (Trial Implementation), or Bulletin 45, further clarifies certain issues related to the determination of tax resident status. Bulletin 45 also specifies that when provided with a resident Chinese-controlled, offshore-incorporated enterprise's copy of its recognition of residential status, a payer does not need to withhold a 10% income tax when paying certain Mainland PRC-source income, such as dividends, interest and royalties to such Chinese-controlled offshore-incorporated enterprise.

We believe that our Cayman Islands holding company, Planet Image International Limited, is not a Mainland PRC resident enterprise for Mainland PRC tax purposes. Planet Image International Limited is a company incorporated outside Mainland China. As a holding company, its key assets are its ownership interests in its subsidiaries, and its key assets are located, and its records (including the resolutions of its board of directors and the resolutions of its shareholders) are maintained, outside Mainland China. As such, we do not believe that our company meets all of the conditions above or is a Mainland PRC resident enterprise for Mainland PRC tax purposes. For the same reasons, we believe our other entities outside Mainland China are not Mainland PRC resident enterprises either. 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." There can be no assurance that the PRC government will ultimately take a view that is consistent with our position and there is a risk that the PRC tax authorities may deem our company as a Mainland PRC resident enterprise since a substantial majority of the members of our management team are located in Mainland China, in which case we would be subject to the EIT at the rate of 25% on worldwide income. If the PRC tax authorities determine that our Cayman Islands holding company is a "resident enterprise" for EIT purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow.

One example is a 10% withholding tax would be imposed on dividends we pay to our non-Mainland PRC enterprise shareholders and with respect to gains derived by our non-Mainland PRC enterprise shareholders from transferring our ordinary shares. It is unclear whether, if we are considered a Mainland PRC resident enterprise, holders of our Class A ordinary shares would be able to claim the benefit of income tax treaties or agreements entered into between Mainland China and other countries or areas.

According to the Announcement on Several Issues Concerning Enterprise Income Tax for Indirect Transfer of Assets by Non-Resident Enterprises, or Circular 7, which was promulgated by the SAT and became effective on February 3, 2015, if a non-resident enterprise transfers the equity interests of a Mainland PRC resident enterprise indirectly by transfer of the equity interests of an offshore holding company (other than a purchase and sale of shares issued by a Mainland PRC resident enterprise in the public securities market) without a reasonable commercial purpose, PRC tax authorities have the power to reassess the nature of the transaction and the indirect equity transfer may be treated as a direct transfer. As a result, the gain derived from such transfer, which means the equity transfer price less the cost of equity, will be subject to Mainland PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10%.

Under the terms of Circular 7, a transfer which meets all of the following circumstances shall be directly deemed as having no reasonable commercial purposes if:

● over 75% of the value of the equity interests of the offshore holding company are directly or indirectly derived from Mainland PRC taxable properties;

● at any time during the year before the indirect transfer, over 90% of the total properties of the offshore holding company are investments within Mainland PRC territories, or in the year before the indirect transfer, over 90% of the offshore holding company's revenue is directly or indirectly derived from Mainland PRC territories;

● the function performed and risks assumed by the offshore holding company are insufficient to substantiate its corporate existence; or

● the foreign income tax imposed on the indirect transfer is lower than the Mainland PRC tax imposed on the direct transfer of the Mainland PRC taxable properties.

On October 17, 2017, the SAT issued the Announcement on Issues Relating to Withholding at Source of Income Tax of Non-resident Enterprises, or Circular 37, which took effect on December 1, 2017. Circular 37 purports to provide further clarifications by setting forth the definitions of equity transfer income and tax basis, the foreign exchange rate to be used in the calculation of the withholding amount and the date on which the withholding obligation arises.

Specifically, Circular 37 provides that where the transfer income subject to withholding at source is derived by a non-Mainland PRC resident enterprise in instalments, the instalments may first be treated as recovery of costs of previous investments. Upon recovery of all costs, the tax amount to be withheld must then be computed and withheld.

There is uncertainty as to the application of Circular 7 and Circular 37. Circular 7 and Circular 37 may be determined by the PRC tax authorities to be applicable to transfers of our shares that involve non-resident investors, if any of such transactions were determined by the tax authorities to lack a reasonable commercial purpose.

As a result, we and our non-resident investors in such transactions may become at risk of being taxed under Circular 7 and Circular 37, and we may be required to comply with Circular 7 and Circular 37 or to establish that we should not be taxed under the general anti-avoidance rule of the EIT Law. This process may be costly and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 ****

***Value-added Tax***

Under the Circular on Comprehensively Promoting the Pilot Program of the Collection of Value-added Tax to Replace Business Tax, or Circular 36, which was promulgated by the Ministry of Finance and the SAT on March 23, 2016 and became effective on May 1, 2016, entities and individuals engaging in the sale of services, intangible assets or fixed assets within the territory of Mainland PRC are required to pay value added tax, or VAT, instead of business tax.

According to the Circular 36, our Mainland PRC subsidiaries and consolidated affiliated entity are subject to VAT, at a rate of 6% to 17% on proceeds received from customers.

According to the Circular of the Ministry of Finance and the SAT on Adjusting Value-added Tax Rates, where a taxpayer engages in a taxable sales activity for the value-added tax purpose or imports goods, the previous applicable 17% tax rates are lowered to 16%.

According to the Circular on Policies to Deepen Value-added Tax Reform, where a taxpayer engages in a taxable sales activity for the value-added tax purpose or imports goods, the previous applicable 16% and 10% tax rates are lowered to 13% and 9% respectively.

**Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences**

The following brief discussion is a summary of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our Class A ordinary shares by a U.S. Holder (as defined below) that acquires our Class A ordinary shares and holds our Class A ordinary shares as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. This brief discussion is based upon existing U.S. federal tax law, which is subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. No ruling has been sought from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with respect to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position. This brief discussion, moreover, does not address the U.S. federal estate, gift, Medicare, and alternative minimum tax considerations, any withholding or information reporting requirements, or any state, local and non-U.S. tax considerations relating to the ownership or disposition of our Class A ordinary shares. The following brief summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances or to persons in special tax situations such as:

● banks and other financial institutions;

● insurance companies;

● pension plans;

● cooperatives;

● regulated investment companies;

● real estate investment trusts;

● broker-dealers;

● traders that elect to use a market-to-market method of accounting;

● certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents;

● governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

● tax-exempt entities (including private foundations);

● holders who acquired our Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation;

● investors that will hold our Class A ordinary shares as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

● persons holding their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a trade or business outside the United States;

● persons that actually or constructively own 10% or more of our voting power or value (including by reason of owning our Class A ordinary shares);

● investors required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to their Class A ordinary shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

● investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar;

● partnerships or other entities taxable as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or persons holding Class A ordinary shares through such entities, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those discussed below.

The discussion set forth below is addressed only to U.S. Holders that purchase the Class A ordinary shares. 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 Class A ordinary shares.

***General***

For purposes of this brief discussion, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of our Class A ordinary shares that is, 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.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our Class A ordinary shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our Class A ordinary shares and their partners are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding an investment in our Class A ordinary shares.

 ****

***Passive Foreign Investment Company ("PFIC") Consequences***

A non-U.S. corporation is considered a PFIC, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the US 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, (1) the cash we raised in our previous securities offerings will generally be considered to be held for the production of passive income and (2) the value of our assets must be determined based on the market value of our Class A 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, current and projected income and assets, and the composition of our income and assets (taking into account the current and expected income generated from our investment products purchased from banks), we believe that we are not a PFIC for the current taxable year or the foreseeable future under the current PFIC rules. We must make a separate determination each year as to whether we are a PFIC, however, there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for any future taxable years. Depending on our assets held for the production of passive income, it is possible that, 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. Because the value of our assets for purposes of the asset test will generally be determined based on the market price of our Class A ordinary shares and because cash is generally considered to be an asset held for the production of passive income, our PFIC status will depend in large part on the market price of our Class A ordinary shares. Accordingly, fluctuations in the market price of the Class A ordinary shares may cause us to become a PFIC. In addition, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects. 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 Class A ordinary shares from time to time) that may not be within our control. If we are a PFIC for any year during which you hold Class A ordinary shares, we will continue to be treated as a PFIC for all succeeding years during which you hold Class A ordinary shares. If we cease to be a PFIC and you did not previously make a timely "mark-to-market" election as described below, you may avoid some of the adverse effects of the PFIC regime by making a "purging election" (as described below) with respect to the Class A ordinary shares.

If we are a PFIC for your taxable year(s) during which you hold Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A ordinary shares cannot be treated as capital, even if you hold the Class A 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 US 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) Class A 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 Class A ordinary shares as of the close of such taxable year over your adjusted basis in such Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A ordinary shares, are treated as ordinary income. Ordinary loss treatment also applies to any loss realized on the actual sale or disposition of the Class A ordinary shares, to the extent that the amount of such loss does not exceed the net mark-to-market gains previously included for such Class A ordinary shares. Your basis in the Class A 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 below under "— Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on our Class A 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 Nasdaq. If the Class A ordinary shares continue to be regularly traded on Nasdaq and if you are a holder of Class A 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 US Internal Revenue Code with respect to such PFIC to elect out of the tax treatment discussed above. A U.S. Holder who makes a valid qualified electing fund election with respect to a PFIC will generally include in gross income for a taxable year such holder's pro rata share of the corporation's earnings and profits for the taxable year. 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 prepare or provide the information that would enable you to make a qualified electing fund election. If you hold Class A 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 Class A ordinary shares, including regarding distributions received on the Class A ordinary shares and any gain realized on the disposition of the Class A ordinary shares.

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 Class A ordinary shares, then such Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A ordinary shares for tax purposes.

IRC Section 1014(a) provides for a step-up in basis to the fair market value for our Class A ordinary shares when inherited from a decedent that was previously a holder of our Class A 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 Class A ordinary shares, or a mark-to-market election and ownership of those Class A 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 Class A 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 Class A ordinary shares.

You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to your investment in our Class A ordinary shares and the elections discussed above.

***Taxation of Dividends and Other Distributions on our Class A Ordinary Shares***

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, the gross amount of distributions made by us to you with respect to the Class A 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 Class A 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 not income tax treaty between the United States and the Cayman Islands, clause (1) above can be satisfied only if the Class A ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Under U.S. Internal Revenue Service authority, Class A 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 continue to be listed on certain exchanges, which presently include the NYSE and the Nasdaq Stock Market. We did not issue any dividends in the current taxable year. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any dividends paid with respect to our Class A ordinary shares, including the effects of any change in law after the date of this annual report.

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 Class A 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 Class A 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 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. We did not issue any dividends in the current taxable year.

 ****

***Taxation of Dispositions of Class A Ordinary Shares***

Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed above, 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 Class A 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 Class A 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.

 ****

***Information Reporting and Backup Withholding***

Dividend payments with respect to our Class A ordinary shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our Class A 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 US 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 Class A ordinary shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Class A 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 Class A ordinary shares.

**F. <u>Dividends and Paying Agents</u>**

Not applicable.

**G. <u>Statement by Experts</u>**

Not applicable.

**H. <u>Documents on Display</u>**

We are subject to the periodic reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act. Under the Exchange Act, we are required to file reports and other information with the SEC. Specifically, we are required to file annually a Form 20-F within four months after the end of each fiscal year. The SEC maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding registrants that make electronic filings with the SEC using its EDGAR system. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules of the Exchange Act prescribing, among other things, the furnishing and content of proxy statements to shareholders. Section 8103 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026, named the "Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act", which was signed into law on December 18, 2025, requires directors and officers of foreign private issuers to make insider reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, effective March 18, 2026. Our principal shareholders continue to remain exempt from the reporting under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and our directors, officers and principal shareholders continue to remain exempt from the short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

**Item 11. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

***Foreign Exchange Risk***

We derive a substantial portion of our revenue in US$ and Euro. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our business and performance. Our sales are predominantly denominated in US$ and Euro while our costs are mostly denominated in RMB. The exchange rates between US$, Euro and RMB are subject to continuous movements affected by international political and economic conditions and changes in the PRC government's economic and monetary policies. As we derive a substantial portion of our revenue in US$ and Euros while a substantial portion of our costs are denominated in RMB, appreciation of RMB against US$, which is our reporting currency, will therefore directly decrease our profit margin if the operating subsidiaries are unable to increase the selling prices of their products accordingly. If the operating subsidiaries increase the selling prices of their products as a result of the appreciation of the RMB against the relevant foreign currencies, there will be a loss of price advantage in the markets.

In addition, we are subject to translation risks as our consolidated financial statements are reported in US$ while the financial statements of some operating subsidiaries are prepared in RMB and Euros, the currency of the primary economies in which our operations are based. We recorded a currency translation gain of US$0.2 million, US$0.1 million and US$0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Accordingly, we may incur currency translation losses or gains due to translation of functional currency into the presentation currency which may adversely affect our financial position.

 ****

***Credit Risk***

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalent, restricted cash and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the aggregate amounts of cash and cash equivalent and restricted cash of US$17.9 million and US$31.7 million, respectively, were held at major financial institutions located in the mainland China, and each bank account is insured by the government authority with the maximum limit of RMB500,000 (equivalent to $71,250). The aggregate amounts of cash and cash equivalent and restricted cash of US$28.0 million and US$22.3 million were deposited with major financial institutions located outside the mainland China as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality and continually monitors the credit worthiness of these financial institutions.

***Inflation Risk***

Since inception, inflation in China has not materially affected our results of operations. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the year-over-year percentile changes in the consumer price index for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025 was increases of 0.2% and 0.0%, respectively. Although we have not been materially affected by inflation in the past, we may be affected if China experiences higher rates of inflation in the future.

See "Item 10. Additional Information" for a description of the rights of securities holders, which remain unchanged.

**Use of Proceeds**

The following "Use of Proceeds" information relates to the registration statement on Form F-1 (File Number 333- 263602), as amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 24, 2024, for our initial public offering, which closed on January 29, 2024. We issued and sold an aggregate of 1,250,000 Class A ordinary shares, at a price of $4.00 per share with gross proceeds of $5.00 million. US Tiger Securities, Inc. was the underwriter of our initial public offering.

We incurred approximately $2,788,158 in expenses in connection with our initial public offering. None of the transaction expenses included payments to directors or officers of our company or their associates, persons owning more than 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates. None of the net proceeds we received from our initial public offering were paid, directly or indirectly, to any of our directors or officers or their associates, persons owning 10% or more of our equity securities or our affiliates.

Net proceeds raised from our initial public offering were approximately $1.81 million after deducting underwriting discounts and the offering expenses payable by us. For the period from the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form F-1 to the date of this annual report, we used approximately US$0.89 million for general corporate purposes. We intend to use the proceeds from our initial public offering for general corporate purposes and any other purposes as determined by our management from time to time.

**Item 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.

Based upon that evaluation, our management has concluded that, due to the material weakness identified below, as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

**Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our company's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all potential misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related rules as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 using the criteria set forth in the report "Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)" published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective as of December 31, 2025 because of the material weakness described below.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our company's annual consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness identified relate to our lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and SEC reporting requirements to properly address complex U.S. GAAP accounting issues and to prepare and review our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures to fulfill U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements.

In response to the material weaknesses identified, we are in the process of implementing a number of measures, which will include: (a) hiring financial reporting and accounting personnel with adequate experience of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting and compliance requirements, and (b) continuing our efforts to set up the internal audit department, and enhance the effectiveness of the internal control system.

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses, management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, believes the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 20-F present fairly, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

We plan to adopt additional measures to improve our internal control over financial reporting, including, among others, creating U.S. GAAP accounting policies and procedures manual, which will be maintained, reviewed and updated, on a regular basis, to the latest U.S. GAAP accounting standards, and strengthening corporate governance.

However, we cannot assure you that we will remediate our material weaknesses in a timely manner. See "Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — If we fail to implement and maintain an effective system of internal controls or fail to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that have been identified, we may fail to meet our reporting obligations or be unable to accurately report our results of operations or prevent fraud, and investor confidence and the market price of our Ordinary Shares may be materially and adversely affected."

**Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm**

This annual report on Form 20-F does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC where domestic and foreign registrants that are non-accelerated filers, which we are, and "emerging growth companies," which we also are, are not required to provide the auditor attestation report.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We are currently in the process of remediating the material weakness described above. In the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, we will continue to implement additional measures to remediate it. Other than as described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Item 16. [RESERVED]**

**Item 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT**

**Item 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT**

There has been no change in independent accountants for our Company during the two most recent fiscal years or any subsequent interim period except as previously reported in our Form 6-K filed with the SEC on December 27, 2024. There have been no disagreements of the type required to be disclosed by Item 16F(b).

**Item 16G. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE**

As a Cayman Islands company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we are subject to the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. Nasdaq rules, however, permit a foreign private issuer like us to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is our home country, may differ significantly from the Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

There are currently no significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. domestic companies under Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance listing standards.

**Item 16H. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE**

Not applicable.

**Item 16I. DISCLOSURE REGARDING FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS THAT PREVENT INSPECTIONS.**

**Item 16J. INSIDER TRADING POLICIES.**

We have adopted insider trading policies governing the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of our securities by directors, senior management, and employees. A copy of the insider trading policies is filed as an exhibit to this annual report.

**Item 16K. CYBERSECURITY.**

We believe that cybersecurity is important to our operations and we recognize the importance of timely and appropriately assessing, preventing, identifying and managing risks associated with cybersecurity threats. Such risks include, among other things, potential operational risks, financial risks, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to employees and clients, violation of privacy and other litigation and legal risks, and reputational risks.

We do not have a dedicated board committee solely focused on cybersecurity, and our senior management team, including Mr. Shaofang Weng, our chief executive officer, and Mr. Quanmao Zhou, our chief financial officer, has oversight responsibility for risks and incidents relating to cybersecurity threats, including compliance with disclosure requirements, cooperation with law enforcement, and related effects on financial and other risks, and it reports any material findings and recommendations, as appropriate, to our board of directors for consideration.

To date, we have not encountered any cybersecurity incidents which have affected or are reasonably likely to affect us, and we have not implemented any specific policies with respect to monitoring and managing cybersecurity threats. However, we intend to adopt cybersecurity processes, technologies and controls to aid in our efforts to assess, prevent, identify and manage such risks. We cannot assure you that we will not encounter any material cybersecurity incidents in the future or that our business operations, financial position or results of operations will not be materially and adversely affected as a result. Since we do not currently implement a comprehensive cybersecurity risk management program, our efforts may not be adequate, and we may fail to accurately assess the severity of an incident, may not be sufficient to prevent or limit harm, or may fail to sufficiently remediate an incident in a timely fashion, any of which could harm our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

**Part III**

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Planet Image International Limited

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Planet Image International Limited (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income/(loss), changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These consolidated 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 audit. 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 audit 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 audit, 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**1.** **ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES** 

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)***  ***Principal activities*** 

Planet Image International Limited ("Planet Image" or the "Company") was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on August 5, 2019 under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. The Company, through its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group"), is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of compatible toner cartridges with its manufacturing facilities based in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC" or "China"). The majority of the Company's products are sold in the United States of America (the "U.S.") and Europe, including on an original design manufacturer ("ODM") basis and throughout distributors or online sales (prior to the disposal of the Disposed Subsidiaries (as defined below) on December 31, 2025; see Note 3).

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)***  ***Organization*** 

Planet Image was incorporated as an ultimate holding company in the Cayman Islands on August 5, 2019.

Planet Image owns 100% equity interest of Aster Graphics Company Limited ("Aster BVI"), Aster Industrial Limited ("Aster Industrial") and Lucky Knot Limited ("Lucky Knot"), all established as investment holding companies in the British Virgin Islands (the "BVI").

Aster Graphics Company Limited ("Aster HK"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aster Industrial, and Aster Online Company Limited ("Aster Online"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lucky Knot, were both incorporated under the laws of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong ("Hong Kong"), while Aster Graphics, Inc. ("Aster US"), a company incorporated in the State of California in March 2011 and Aster Technology Holland B.V. ("Aster NL"), a company incorporated in the Netherlands in July 2011, were both 100% owned by Aster BVI.

Jiangxi Yibo E-Tech Co., Ltd. ("Jiangxi Yibo") was established under the laws of the PRC in January 2011 and along with its subsidiaries, are the Group's main operating entities in China.

Prior to the Reorganization (as defined below) described below, Jiangxi Yibo was controlled by several individual shareholders. A reorganization of the Company's legal structure ("Reorganization") was completed in March 2020. The Reorganization involved the following major events:

● Formation of Planet Image, Aster BVI, Aster Industrial, Lucky Knot, Aster HK and Aster Online;

● Transfer of 95% equity interests of Jiangxi Yibo from several of its former shareholders to Aster HK and 5% equity interests of Jiangxi Yibo from a former shareholder to Aster Online and then to Aster HK, and as a result, Jiangxi Yibo became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aster HK; meanwhile the total consideration of $15,083 (RMB100,000) that received by the former shareholders of Jiangxi Yibo was not injected to the Company during the Reorganization and was deemed as a return of capital that led to their dilutive proportion of shareholding in the Company;

● Transfer of 100% equity interests of Aster US and Aster NL to Aster BVI, and as a result Aster US and Aster NL became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Aster BVI; and

● Transfer of 100% equity interests of Aster Supplies GmbH ("Aster Germany"), Aster Technology Italia S.R.L. ("Aster Italy") and Aster Technology France ("Aster France") to Aster NL, and as a result Aster Germany, Aster Italy and Aster France became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Aster NL.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)***  ***Organization (cont.)*** 

Upon the completion of the above Reorganization, Planet Image became the ultimate holding company of the Group. The Company is effectively controlled by the same group of shareholders before and after the Reorganization and therefore the Reorganization is considered as a recapitalization of these entities under common control.

The details of the Company's major subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 are as follows. All subsidiaries of the Company are all wholly-owned by the Company through equity investment.

**2.** **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(a)***  ***Basis of presentation*** 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(b)***  ***Principles of consolidation*** 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(c)***  ***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 revenues and expenses during the reported periods in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates include, but not limited to, allowance for credit loss, impairment provision for inventories, useful lives and impairment of long-lived assets, determination of the fair value of derivative instruments and derivative liability arising from foreign exchange forward contracts, accounting for deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and liabilities. 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.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(d)***  ***Foreign currencies and foreign currency translation*** 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar ("US$"). The Company's operating subsidiaries in China, Europe and the United States use their respective currencies, Renminbi ("RMB"), Pound ("GBP"), Euro ("EUR") and US$, as their functional currencies.

The financial statements of Planet Image and its subsidiaries, other than subsidiaries with functional currency of US$, are translated into US$ using the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. 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 shareholders' equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(e)***  ***Cash and Cash Equivalents*** 

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash in bank, and fixed deposits with original maturities of less than three months. The Group maintains cash with various financial institutions primarily in China. All highly liquid investments with a stated maturity or lock-up period of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, balances of cash and cash equivalents were $42,997 and $52,909, respectively. The Group has not experienced any losses in bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash in bank accounts.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(f)***  ***Restricted Cash*** 

Restricted cash mainly represents security deposits held in bank accounts for bank acceptance notes and forward foreign currency exchange settlement, cash pledged as collateral for bank borrowings. Restricted cash is classified as current since all restrictions are within twelve months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(g)***  ***Investments*** 

Investments consist primarily of short-term investments in fixed deposits between three months and one year, and long-term investments in fixed deposits over one year. The Group classifies the financial products as held-to-maturity securities. Investments in fixed deposits are measured at amortized cost, which is classified as held-to-maturity debt investments in accordance with ASC topic 310 ("ASC 310"), Receivables.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(h)***  ***Accounts Receivable, net*** 

Accounts receivables are recognized in the period when the Group has sold products to its customers and when its right to consideration is unconditional. The Group adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement on Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", including certain subsequent amendments, transitional guidance and other interpretive guidance within ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 (collectively, including ASU 2016-13, "ASC 326") on January 1, 2023 using the modified retrospective transition approach. ASC 326 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate the allowance for credit losses, which replaces the previous incurred loss impairment model. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Account receivables are stated net of provision of credit losses. The Group has developed a current expected credit loss ("CECL") model based on historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, credit quality of its customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from customers. The Group considers historical collection rates, current financial status, macroeconomic factors, and other industry-specific factors when evaluating for current expected credit losses.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(i)***  ***Inventories, net*** 

Inventories, primarily consisting of raw materials, goods in transit, work in progress and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less any costs to complete and sell products. Cost of inventory is determined by using the weighted average cost method. The Group writes down the cost of obsolete and slow-moving inventories to the estimated net realizable value, based on inventory obsolescence trends, historical experience, forecasted consumer demand and application of the specific identification method. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, $1,165 and $1,043 were written down from the cost of inventories to their net realizable values, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(j)***  ***Derivative instruments*** 

The Group's derivative instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts that the Group enters into as firm commitments to exchange a specific number of foreign currencies for RMB at a predetermined exchange rate on a specified future date without initial investment but a deposit required. This instrument is used to manage the volatility of changes in exchange rates. Management considered that the foreign currency forward contract does not meet the criteria for designated hedging instruments and hedged transactions to qualify for cash flow hedge or fair value hedge accounting. The foreign currency forward contracts therefore are accounted for as derivative instruments, with fair value changes reported as fair value change of derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(k)***  ***Property, plant and equipment, net*** 

Property, plant and equipment 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 as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Category** | **Estimated useful lives** |
| Land use right | 43 years |
| Buildings | 20 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Lesser of useful life and lease term |
| Machinery and electronic equipment | 1 – 10 years |
| Office equipment, furniture and fixtures | 1 – 5 years |
| Automobile | 3 – 10 years |

---

Direct costs that are related to the construction of property, plant and equipment and incurred in connection with bringing the assets to their intended use are capitalized as construction in progress. Construction in progress is transferred to specific property, plant and equipment items and the depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

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 operations and comprehensive income/(loss) in other income or expenses.

The land is carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any recorded impairment. Under the PRC law, all land in the PRC is owned by the government and cannot be sold to an individual or company. The government grants individuals and companies the right to use parcels of land for specified periods of time. Land is amortized using the straight-line approach over the estimated economic useful lives of the asset.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(l)***  ***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 first grouping its long-lived assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows was largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the asset group), and secondly comparing the carrying value of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset group and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the asset group, the Group would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the asset group, using the expected future discounted cash flows. No impairments of long-lived assets were recognized as of December 31, 2024 and 2025.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(m)***  ***Redeemable ordinary shares*** 

The Company accounts for ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with ASC 480 "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity." Ordinary shares subject to conditional redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the control of the Company is classified as mezzanine equity. The Company evaluates the probability of these redeemable ordinary shares becoming redeemable at each reporting date. If it is probable that the redeemable ordinary shares will become redeemable, the Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares shall be affected by charges against retained earnings. Accordingly, if the ordinary shares are not currently redeemable and it is not probable that the ordinary shares will become redeemable, subsequent adjustment of the amount presented in temporary equity is unnecessary.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(n)***  ***Bank acceptance notes payable*** 

Bank acceptance notes payable consist of short-term bank acceptance notes payable provided by the Group to its suppliers and vendors. These short-term bank notes can be endorsed and assigned to suppliers as payments for purchases. These bank notes payables are generally payable within six months. These short-term notes payable are guaranteed by the bank for their full face value. In addition, the banks usually require the Group to deposit a certain amount of fund at the bank as a guaranteed deposit, which is classified on the consolidated balance sheets as restricted cash.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(o)***  ***Fair value measurement*** 

The Company applies ASC 820, *Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures*, ("ASC 820''). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

● Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

● Level 2 — Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

● Level 3 — Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.

**2.** **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)** 

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(o)***  ***Fair value measurement (cont.)*** 

 ****

Financial assets and liabilities of the Group primarily consisted of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other receivables and derivative instruments, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, bank acceptance notes payable, other payables included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the carrying amounts of financial instruments, except for derivative instruments, approximated to their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of derivative instruments, which are comprised of foreign exchange forward contracts. Such derivate instruments are classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy because they are floating income products linked to currency exchange rate. These instruments are not valued using quoted market prices, but can be valued based on other observable inputs, such as currency rates. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the fair value of derivative liabilities, classified within Level II, were $26 and nil, respectively.

The Group's non-financial assets, such as property and equipment and land-use-right, would be measured at fair value only if they were determined to be impaired.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(p)***  ***Commitments and contingencies*** 

In the normal course of business, the Group is subject to commitments and contingencies, including operating lease commitments and legal proceedings. The Group recognizes a liability for such contingency if it determines it is probable that a loss has occurred and a reasonable estimate of the loss can be made. The Group may consider many factors in making these assessments on liability for contingencies, including historical and the specific facts and circumstances of each matter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(q)***  ***Revenue recognition*** 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") on January 1, 2019 and the Company's revenue recognition policies are presented as below.

The Group's revenues are mainly generated from the sales of compatible toner cartridges through offline and online channels. The Group provides products: (i) to offline overseas customers who own their brands on an ODM basis; (ii) to offline overseas dealers who primarily sell its self-branded products and white-label products to end consumers; and (iii) directly to customers on a retail basis under its self-owned brands through online retail platforms. There is no major difference in terms of product capability between the Company's ODM products, white-label products, and self-own brand products, and the main difference lies in product packaging and pricing.

The Group usually enters into sales orders with customers or receives online sales orders during the period the Group operated the online retail channel prior to December 31, 2025, in which the Group identifies the only performance obligation is to transfer the promised products stated in the sales order. The Group performs shipping services before the products are delivered at the place designated by customers. Shipping service is determined as an activity to fulfill the Group's promise to transfer the products, rather than another distinct performance obligation as it is performed before the customers obtain control of the products. In the normal course of business, the Group's warranties are limited to product specifications, and the Company does not accept product returns unless the item is defective as manufactured. Accordingly, warranty costs are treated as a cost of fulfillment subject to accrual, rather than a performance obligation. The Company establishes provisions for both estimated returns and warranties when revenues are recognized.

Revenues represent the amount of consideration that the Group is entitled to, including products settlement price, net of value-added tax ("VAT"), surcharges, discounts and returns, if any. The transaction price is variable as adjusted by return allowances, rebates, which the Group estimates by using the expected value method and updates to represent faithfully the circumstances present at the end of the reporting period and the changes in circumstances during the reporting period. The Group considers itself a principal as it self-produces all the products. The Group recognizes revenue from the sales of compatible toner cartridges at a point in time when the control of products is transferred to the customers upon customers' acceptance on a gross basis. Payment is usually required within four months after the issuance of invoice for offline customers and the consideration of online orders is collected in advance of shipment by online platform. Therefore, it is probable that the Group will collect substantially all of the consideration without existence of any significant financing component.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The Group disaggregates its revenues from contracts by sales channel and region, as the Group believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The Group's disaggregation of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 are disclosed in Note 17 of these consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(q)***  ***Revenue recognition (cont.)*** 

Contract Balances

When either party to a revenue contract has performed, the Group presents the contract in the consolidated balance sheet as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the Group's performance and the customer's payment. The Group merely incurs cost to obtain a contract with a customer. The Group presents any unconditional rights to consideration separately as a receivable. The Group does not have any contract assets. The balance of accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit loss were $31,640 and $50,643 as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

The Group presents the consideration that a customer pays before the Group transfers products to the customer as a contract liability (advance from customers) when the payment is made. Advance from customers is the Group's obligation to transfer products to a customer for which the Group has received consideration from the customer. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the balance of advance from customers amounted to $486 and $524, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(r)***  ***Cost of revenues*** 

Cost of revenues consist primarily of (i) cost of materials (ii) labor costs, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) freight charged by third-party transportation company, (v) tariff imposed to the Group's products sold in the U.S., and (vi) warehousing and logistic fee charged by online selling platforms and other costs related to the business operation. Depreciation and amortization of manufacturing facilities and warehouses attributable to manufacturing activities is capitalized as part of the cost of inventory, and expensed in costs of revenues when the inventory is sold.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(s)***  ***Selling expenses*** 

Selling expenses mainly consist of (i) commission charged by online selling platform, (ii) staff costs, rental and depreciation related to selling and marketing functions, (iii) freight charges from warehouses to customers, and (iv) advertising and marketing expenses for promotion. Selling expenses are recognized as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the advertising and marketing expenses were $2,196, $2,030 and $1,864, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, the freight charges were $5,279, $6,231 and $8,156, respectively.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(t)***  ***Contract cost*** 

Certain costs to fulfil contracts are capitalized when such costs (i) relate directly to the contract, (ii) generate or enhance resources of the Group that will be used in satisfying the performance obligation in the future, and (iii) are expected to be recovered. Contract costs are amortized on the basis consistent with the pattern of the transfer of services to which the costs relate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(u)***  ***General and administrative expenses*** 

General and administrative expenses mainly consist of (i) staff costs, rental and depreciation related to general and administrative personnel, (ii) professional service fees; and (iii) other corporate expenses.

Government grant for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs or obligation is recognized in the Group's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) when the grant is received.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(x)***  ***Foreign exchange loss, net*** 

Foreign exchange loss, net mainly represents the exchange gain or loss caused by the changes in the relative currency exchange between US$, EUR, Hong Kong Dollar ("HKD"), RMB and Great Britain Pound ("GBP").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(y)***  ***Employee benefits*** 

According to the regulations of the PRC, full-time eligible employees of the Group in the PRC are entitled to various government statutory employee benefit plans, including medical insurance, maternity insurance, workplace injury insurance, unemployment insurance and pension benefits through a PRC government-mandated employee benefit plan. The Group is required to make contributions to the plan and accrues for these benefits based on certain percentages of the qualified employees' salaries. The Group has no further commitments beyond its monthly contribution. Employee social benefits included as expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) amounted to $1,317, $1,117 and $1,264 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the outstanding social insurance plan contributions payable were $95 and $97, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(z)***  ***Leases*** 

On January 1, 2019, the Company 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. See Note 11 for additional information.

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 of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Group assesses 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 on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

*<u>Operating lease right-of-use of assets</u>*

The right-of-use of assets 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.

 

*<u>Operating lease liabilities</u>*

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 based on the information available such as loan prime rate published by the Bank of China. 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.

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.

**2.** **SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(aa)***  ***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.

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 believes there were no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.

The Company's affiliated entities in the PRC are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. According to the PRC Tax Administration and Collection Law, 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 $14 (RMB100). In the case of transfer pricing issues, the statute of limitation is 10 years. There is no statute of limitation in the case of tax evasion. Operation results of the Company's affiliated entities in the PRC for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025 remain open for statutory examination by PRC tax authorities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(bb)***  ***Value added tax ("VAT")*** 

The Group is subject to VAT and related surcharges on revenues generated from sales of products. The Group records revenues net of VAT. Entities that are VAT general taxpayers are allowed to offset qualified input VAT, paid to suppliers against their output VAT liabilities.

The PRC VAT rate was 13% for taxpayers selling consumer products for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The primary applicable rate of Europe Union ("EU") VAT was 19% for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

 ****

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(cc)***  ***Earnings/(loss) per share*** 

The Company computes earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share" ("ASC 260"). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS are computed by dividing income available to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue ordinary shares were exercised and converted into ordinary shares. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, there was no dilution impact.

The Group's Class A and Class B ordinary shares have the same dividend right and two-class method is not applied for the periods presented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(dd)***  ***Comprehensive income/(loss)*** 

Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the increase in equity of the Group during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Amongst other disclosures, ASC 220, *Comprehensive Income*, requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income or loss be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. For each of the periods presented, the Group's comprehensive income included net income and foreign currency translation adjustments that are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(ee)***  ***Share-based Compensation*** 

The Group applies ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation ("ASC 718"), to account for all of its share-based payments. In accordance with ASC 718, the Group determines whether an award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. All the Group's grants of share-based awards without vesting conditions were classified as equity awards and are recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(ff)***  ***Segment reporting*** 

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group uses the "management approach" in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Group's CODM for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Group's reportable segments. The Group's CODM has been identified as the chief executive officer (the "CEO"), who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group. The Group has determined that there is only one reportable operating segment since the manufacturing and sales of products are viewed as an integrated business process and allocation of the resources and assessment of the performance are not separately evaluated by the Group's CODM. For information regarding the Company's long-lived assets and revenue by geographic area, as well as a summary of significant expense categories, see Note 17.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(gg)***  ***Concentration of risk*** 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalent, restricted cash and accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2024 and 2025, the aggregate amounts of cash and cash equivalent and restricted cash of $17,983 and $31,630, respectively, were held at major financial institutions located in the mainland China, and each bank account is insured by the government authority with the maximum limit of RMB500 (equivalent to $71). The aggregate amounts of cash and cash equivalent and restricted cash of $27,903 and $22,279 were deposited with major financial institutions located outside the mainland China, and each bank account is insured with the minimum amount of $150. Management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality and continually monitors the credit worthiness of these financial institutions.

The Group's exposure to credit risk associated with its trading and other activities is measured on an individual counterparty basis, as well as by group of counterparties that share similar attributes. Substantially all of the Group's sales are made to customers located primarily in the U.S. and Europe. The Company's operating results could be adversely affected by the government policy in the PRC on exporting business, foreign exchange rate fluctuation, and changes in local market conditions. No customer individually represented greater than 10% of the Group's total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the top two suppliers accounted for approximately 23.3% and 11.1% of total inventory purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the top one supplier accounted for approximately 19.3% of total inventory purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the top one supplier accounted for approximately 11.4% of total inventory purchases. No other suppliers accounted for more than 10% of total inventory purchases in the reporting periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***(hh)***  ***Recent accounting pronouncements*** 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Group adopted ASU 2023-07 from January 1, 2025. See Note 17 for further information.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvement to Income Tax Disclosure. This standard requires more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This standard also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is also permitted, and entities may apply the amendments in this update prospectively or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Group adopted this ASU on January 1, 2025. See Note 13 for further information.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, which removes references to the concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification" or ASC). The ASU is part of the Board's standing project to make "Codification updates for technical corrections such as conforming amendments, clarifications to guidance, simplifications to wording or the structure of guidance, and other minor improvements." Our management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2024-02 will have a material impact on our combined financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03") which requires detailed disclosures in the notes to financial statements disaggregating specific expense categories and certain other disclosures to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. The FASB further clarified the effective date in January 2025 with the issuance of ASU 2025-01, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Group does not expect to early adopt this guidance and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its future consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05"). The amendments in ASU 2025-05 provide entities with a practical expedient to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606") by allowing the assumption that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change during the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company for its annual reporting periods beginning July 1, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2025-05 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles -Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06"). The amendments modernize the recognition and disclosure framework for internal-use software costs, removing the previous "development stage" model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and for interim reporting periods beginning in that fiscal year. The Group is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2025-06 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging ("Topic 815") and Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract ("ASU 2025-07"). ASU 2025-07 expands an existing scope exception under Topic 815 to exclude non-exchange-traded contracts where the underlying is based on the operations or activities specific to one of the contract parties. ASU 2025-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2025-07 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses ("Topic 326"): Purchased Loans ("ASU 2025-08"). The amendments expand the population of acquired loans subject to the gross-up approach, treating non-credit-deteriorated loans (excluding credit cards) as "seasoned" if purchased at least 90 days after origination or acquired in a business combination. ASU 2025-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2025-08 will have on its future consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities ("ASU 2025-10"). The amendments establish the accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for (1) a grant related to an asset and (2) a grant related to income. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-10.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Improvements to Interim Disclosure Requirements ("ASU 2025-11"). The amendments clarify disclosure requirements for interim financial statements. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements ("ASU 2025-12"). ASU 2025-12 addresses suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the Accounting Standards Codification and makes other incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP. The update represents changes to the Codification that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to apply the amendments to ASC 260 retrospectively. All other amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-12.

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 pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

**3.** **DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES** 

In 2025, the Group disposed ten subsidiaries (the "Disposed Subsidiaries"), all of which were engaged in providing products directly to customers on a retail basis under its self-owned brands through online retail platforms, as well as three trademark assignments related to the online retail business operations. On December 30, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company formally authorized the plan to dispose of the Disposed Subsidiaries and the related registered trademarks to a third party. Following this authorization, the Group executed definitive disposal agreements with the purchaser on December 31, 2025, to transfer 100% of the equity interest in the Disposed Subsidiaries. On December 31, 2025, the Group completed the substantive handover of all operational materials, management authorities, and related assets pertaining to the Disposed Subsidiaries to the purchaser, indicating a transfer of control as well as the significant risks and rewards of ownership as of December 31, 2025. Consequently, the Group ceased to exercise substantive control over the Disposed Subsidiaries and completed the disposal and deconsolidation of such entities on that date.

The sale of the Disposed Subsidiaries did not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Group's operations or financial results, given its limited financial impact, in accordance with ASC 205-20-45-1A to 45-1C. Accordingly, the disposal was not presented as discontinued operations, and the results thereof were included in continuing operations for all periods presented.

Details of the entities disposed were as follows:

---

**12.** **SHARE BASED COMPENSATION** 

**2025 Equity Incentive Plan**

Effective on May 9, 2025, the board of directors of the Company approved the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of responsibility with the Group, to provide additional incentives to them and align their interests with those of the Company's shareholders, and to thereby promote the Group's long-term business success. On May 28, 2025, 5,352,621 Class A ordinary shares, par value HK$0.0001 per share, with no vesting conditions were granted to the certain qualified personnel. Subsequently, on June 3, 2025, the Company issued 5,352,621 Class A ordinary shares to these personnel.

In accordance with ASC 718, share-based compensation with employees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments awarded. The Company determined the fair value of the Class A ordinary shares granted under the Plan to be US$1.615 per share, based on the closing market price of the Company's Class A ordinary shares on the grant date. The Company believes the closing price represents the fair value of the shares granted because the awards consist of unrestricted, fully vested equity instruments with no post-vesting restrictions, performance conditions, or other features that would require valuation adjustments. Therefore, no discount or premium was applied to the quoted market price.

As the equity awards were fully vested on the grant date and did not contain any future service or performance conditions, the Group recognizes the entire fair value of the award as compensation expense on the date of grant.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the share-based compensation expenses were $8,645. Such expense was allocated among general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, based on the respective job responsibilities and functional roles of the grantees. As of December 31, 2025, there was no unrecognized share-based compensation expenses in relation to the Plan.

A summary of activities of the restricted shares for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:

**15.** **RESTRICTED NET ASSETS** 

A significant portion of the Group's operations are conducted through its PRC (excluding Hong Kong) subsidiaries, and the Company's ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on receiving distributions of funds from its subsidiaries. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company's subsidiaries only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations, and after it has met the PRC requirements for appropriation to statutory reserves. The Group is required to make appropriations to certain reserve funds, comprising the statutory surplus reserve and the discretionary surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the PRC ("PRC GAAP"). Appropriations to the statutory surplus reserve are required to be at least 10% of the after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entity's registered capital. Appropriations to the surplus reserve are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. Paid-in capital of the Company's subsidiaries included in the Company's consolidated net assets are also non-distributable for dividend purposes.

**17.** **SEGMENT INFORMATION** 

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and is identified on the basis of the internal financial reports that are provided to and regularly reviewed by the Group's chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources and assess performance of the segment.

In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group uses the "management approach" in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Group's chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Group's reportable segments. The Group's CODM has been identified as the chief executive officer (the "CEO"), who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group. The Group has determined that there is only one reportable operating segment since the manufacturing and sales of products are viewed as an integrated business process and allocation of the resources and assessment of the performance are not separately evaluated by the Group's CODM.

<u>SHARE CAPITAL</u>

3. (1) The share capital of the Company at the date on which these Articles come into effect shall be HK$380,000 divided into 3,800,000,000 shares of a par value of HK$0.0001 each comprising (a) 2,000,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of HK$0.0001 each, (b) 1,000,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of HK$0.0001 each and (c) 800,000,000 preferred shares of a par value of HK$0.0001 each.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Subject to the Act, the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association and, where applicable, the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange and/or any competent regulatory authority, any power of the Company to purchase or otherwise acquire its own shares shall be exercisable by the Board in such manner, upon such terms and subject to such conditions as it thinks fit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Subject to compliance with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange and any other competent regulatory authority, the Company may give financial assistance for the purpose of or in connection with a purchase made or to be made by any person of any shares in the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The Board may accept the surrender for no consideration of any fully paid share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (5) No share shall be issued to bearer.

<u>ALTERATION OF CAPITAL</u>

4. (1) The Company may from time to time by ordinary resolution in accordance with the Act alter the conditions of its Memorandum of Association to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) increase its capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such amounts, as the resolution shall prescribe;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) consolidate and divide all or any of its capital into shares of larger amount than its existing shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) without prejudice to the powers of the Board under Article 12, divide its shares into several classes
and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing shares attach thereto respectively any preferential,
deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges, conditions or such restrictions which in the absence of any such determination by the
Company in general meeting, as the Directors may determine provided always that, for the avoidance of doubt, where a class of shares has
been authorized by the Company no resolution of the Company in general meeting is required for the issuance of shares of that class and
the Directors may issue shares of that class and determine such rights, privileges, conditions or restrictions attaching thereto as aforesaid,
and further provided that where the Company issues shares which do not carry voting rights, the words "non-voting" shall appear
in the designation of such shares and where the equity capital includes shares with different voting rights, the designation of each class
of shares, other than those with the most favourable voting rights, must include the words "restricted voting" or "limited
voting";

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) sub-divide its shares, or any of them, into shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum of
Association (subject, nevertheless, to the Act), and may by such resolution determine that, as between the holders of the shares resulting
from such sub-division, one or more of the shares may have any such preferred, deferred or other rights or be subject to any such restrictions
as compared with the other or others as the Company has power to attach to unissued or new shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) 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 its capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled or, in the case of shares,
without par value, diminish the number of shares into which its capital is divided.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) No alteration may be made of the kind contemplated by Article 4(1), or otherwise, to the par value of the Class A Ordinary Shares or the Class B Ordinary Shares unless an identical alteration is made to the par value of the Class B Ordinary Shares or the Class A Ordinary Shares, as the case may be.

5. The Board may settle as it considers expedient any difficulty which arises in relation to any consolidation and division under the last preceding Article and in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing may issue certificates in respect of fractions of shares or arrange for the sale of the shares representing fractions and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale (after deduction of the expenses of such sale) in due proportion amongst the Members who would have been entitled to the fractions, and for this purpose the Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares representing fractions to their purchaser or resolve that such net proceeds be paid to the Company for the Company's benefit. Such purchaser will not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor will his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

6. The Company may from time to time by special resolution, subject to any confirmation or consent required by the Act, reduce its share capital or any capital redemption reserve in any manner permitted by law.

7. Except so far as otherwise provided by the conditions of issue, or by these Articles, any capital raised by the creation of new shares shall be treated as if it formed part of the original capital of the Company, and such shares shall be subject to the provisions contained in these Articles with reference to the payment of calls and instalments, transfer and transmission, forfeiture, lien, cancellation, surrender, voting and otherwise.

<u>SHARE RIGHTS</u>

8. (1) Subject to the provisions of the Act, the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange and the Memorandum and Articles of Association and to any special rights conferred on the holders of any shares or class of shares, and without prejudice to Article 12 hereof, any share in the Company (whether forming part of the present capital or not) may be issued with or have attached thereto such rights or restrictions whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise as the Board may determine, including without limitation on terms that they may be, or at the option of the Company or the holder are, liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner, including out of capital, as the Board may deem fit.

(2) Subject to the Act, any preferred shares may be issued or converted into shares that, at a determinable date or at the option of the Company or the holder thereof, are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may in their absolute discretion determine. Where the Company purchases for redemption a redeemable share, purchases not made through the market or by tender shall be limited to a maximum price as may from time to time be determined by the Board, either generally or with regard to specific purchases. If purchases are by tender, tenders shall comply with applicable laws and the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange.

9. Subject to Article 8(1), the Memorandum of Association and any resolution of the Members to the contrary and without prejudice to any special rights conferred thereby on the holders of any other shares or class of shares, the share capital of the Company shall be divided into shares of two classes, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares immediately upon the effectiveness of these Articles. Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall carry equal rights and rank pari passu with one another other than as set out below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) *As regards conversion* 

 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Subject to the provisions hereof and to compliance with all fiscal and other laws and regulations applicable
thereto, including the Act, a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares shall have the Conversion Right in respect of each Class B Ordinary Share.
For the avoidance of doubt, a holder of Class A Ordinary Shares shall have no rights to convert Class A Ordinary Shares into Class B Ordinary
Shares under any circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Each Class B Ordinary Share shall be converted at the option of the holder, at any time after issue and
without the payment of any additional sum, into one fully paid Class A Ordinary Share calculated at the Conversion Rate. Such conversion
shall take effect on the Conversion Date. A Conversion Notice shall not be effective if it is not accompanied by the share certificates
in respect of the relevant Class B Ordinary Shares and such other evidence (if any) as the Directors may reasonably require to prove the
title of the person exercising such right (or, if such certificates have been lost or destroyed, such evidence of title and such indemnity
as the Directors may reasonably require). Any and all taxes and stamp, issue and registration duties (if any) arising on conversion shall be borne by the holder of
Class B Ordinary Shares requesting conversion.

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) On the Conversion Date, every Class B Ordinary Share to be converted shall automatically be re-designated
and re-classified as a Class A Ordinary Share with such rights and restrictions attached thereto and shall rank pari passu in all respects
with the Class A Ordinary Shares then in issue and the Company shall enter or procure the entry of the name of the relevant holder of
Class B Ordinary Shares as the holder of the same number of Class A Ordinary Shares resulting from the conversion of the Class B Ordinary
Shares in, and make any other necessary and consequential changes to, the Register of Members and shall procure that certificates in respect
of the relevant Class A Ordinary Shares, together with a new certificate for any unconverted Class B Ordinary Shares comprised in the
certificate(s) surrendered by the holder of the Class B Ordinary Shares, are issued to the holders thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Until such time as the Class B Ordinary Shares have been converted into Class A Ordinary Shares, the Company
shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) at all times keep available for issue and free of all liens, charges, options, mortgages, pledges, claims,
equities, encumbrances and other third-party rights of any nature, and not subject to any pre-emptive rights out of its authorised but
unissued share capital, such number of authorised but unissued Class A Ordinary Shares as would enable all Class B Ordinary Shares to
be converted into Class A Ordinary Shares and any other rights of conversion into, subscription for or exchange into Class A Ordinary
Shares to be satisfied in full; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) not make any issue, grant or distribution or take any other action if the effect would be that on the
conversion of the Class B Ordinary Shares to Class A Ordinary Shares it would be required to issue Class A Ordinary Shares at a price
lower than the par value thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) *As regards Voting Rights* 

Holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to receive notice of, attend, speak and vote at general meetings of the Company. Holders of shares of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall, at all times (other than in respect of separate general meetings of the holders of a class or series of shares held in accordance with Article 10(a) below), vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote for Members' consent. Each Class A Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to the vote at general meetings of the Company, and each Class B Ordinary Share shall be entitled to thirty (30) votes on all matters subject to the vote at general meetings of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) *As regards Transfer* 

Upon any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of Class B Ordinary Shares by a holder thereof to any person or entity, such Class B Ordinary Shares validly transferred to the new holder shall be automatically and immediately converted into an equal number of Class A Ordinary Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition shall be effective upon the Company's registration of such sale, transfer, assignment or disposition in the Company's Register of Members; and (ii) the creation of any pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right of whatever description on any of Class B Ordinary Shares to secure a holder's contractual or legal obligations shall not be deemed as a sale, transfer, assignment or disposition unless and until any such pledge, charge, encumbrance or other third party right is enforced and results in the third party holding legal title to the related Class B Ordinary Shares, in which case all the related Class B Ordinary Shares shall be automatically converted into the same number of Class A Ordinary Shares upon the Company's registration of the third party or its designee as a Member holding that number of Class A Ordinary Shares in the Register of Members.

<u>VARIATION OF RIGHTS</u>

10. Subject to the Act and without prejudice to Article 8, all or any of the special rights for the time being attached to the shares or any class of shares may, unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, from time to time (whether or not the Company is being wound up) be varied, modified or abrogated with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. To every such separate general meeting, all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company shall, mutatis mutandis, apply, but so that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) separate general meetings of the holders of a class or series of shares may be called only by (i) the
Chairman of the Board, or (ii) a majority of the Board (unless otherwise specifically provided by the terms of issue of the shares of
such class or series). Nothing in this Article 10 shall be deemed to give any Member or Members the right to call a class or series meeting

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the necessary quorum (whether at a separate general meeting or at its adjourned meeting) shall be a person
or persons (or in the case of a Member being a corporation, its duly authorized representative) together holding or representing by proxy
not less than one-third in nominal value of the issued shares of that class;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) every holder of shares of the class shall be entitled on a poll to one vote for every such share held by him; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy or authorised representative may demand a poll.

11. The special rights conferred upon the holders of any shares or class of shares shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided in the rights attaching to or the terms of issue of such shares, be deemed to be varied, modified or abrogated by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

<u>SHARES</u>

12. (1) Subject to the Act, these Articles and, where applicable, the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange and without prejudice to any special rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any shares or any class of shares, the unissued shares of the Company (whether forming part of the original or any increased capital) shall be at the disposal of the Board, which may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons, at such times and for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine but so that no shares shall be issued at a discount. In particular and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Board is hereby empowered to authorize by resolution or resolutions from time to time the issuance of one or more classes or series of preferred shares and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, if any, including, without limitation, the number of shares constituting each such class or series, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges, voting powers, full or limited or no voting powers, and liquidation preferences, and to increase or decrease the size of any such class or series (but not below the number of shares of any class or series of preferred shares then outstanding) to the extent permitted by Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of any class or series of preferred shares may, to the extent permitted by law, provide that such class or series shall be superior to, rank equally with or be junior to the preferred shares of any other class or series.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Neither the Company nor the Board shall be obliged, when making or granting any allotment of, offer of, option over or disposal of shares, to make, or make available, any such allotment, offer, option or shares to Members or others with registered addresses in any particular territory or territories being a territory or territories where, in the absence of a registration statement or other special formalities, this would or might, in the opinion of the Board, be unlawful or impracticable. Members affected as a result of the foregoing sentence shall not be, or be deemed to be, a separate class of members for any purpose whatsoever. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of any class or series of preferred shares, no vote of the holders of preferred shares of or ordinary shares shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of any shares of any class or series of the preferred shares authorized by and complying with the conditions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The Board may issue options, warrants or convertible securities or securities of similar nature conferring the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of shares or securities in the capital of the Company on such terms as it may from time to time determine.

13. The Company may in connection with the issue of any shares exercise all powers of paying commission and brokerage conferred or permitted by the Act. Subject to the Act, the commission may be satisfied by the payment of cash or by the allotment of fully or partly paid shares or partly in one and partly in the other.

14. Except as required by law, no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon any trust and the Company shall not be bound by or required in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any fractional part of a share or (except only as otherwise provided by these Articles or by law) any other rights in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

15. Subject to the Act and these Articles, the Board may at any time after the allotment of shares but before any person has been entered in the Register as the holder, recognise a renunciation thereof by the allottee in favour of some other person and may accord to any allottee of a share a right to effect such renunciation upon and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board considers fit to impose.

<u>SHARE CERTIFICATES</u>

16. Every share certificate shall be issued under the Seal or a facsimile thereof and shall specify the number and class and distinguishing numbers (if any) of the shares to which it relates, and the amount paid up thereon and may otherwise be in such form as the Directors may from time to time determine. No certificate shall be issued representing shares of more than one class. The Board may by resolution determine, either generally or in any particular case or cases, that any signatures on any such certificates (or certificates in respect of other securities) need not be autographic but may be affixed to such certificates by some mechanical means or may be printed thereon.

17. (1) In the case of a share held jointly by several persons, the Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate therefor and delivery of a certificate to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all such holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Where a share stands in the names of two or more persons, the person first named in the Register shall as regards service of notices and, subject to the provisions of these Articles, all or any other matters connected with the Company, except the transfer of the shares, be deemed the sole holder thereof.

18. Every person whose name is entered, upon an allotment of shares, as a Member in the Register shall be entitled, without payment, to receive one certificate for all such shares of any one class or several certificates each for one or more of such shares of such class upon payment for every certificate after the first of such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses as the Board from time to time determines.

19. Share certificates shall be issued within the relevant time limit as prescribed by the Act or as the Designated Stock Exchange may from time to time determine, whichever is the shorter, after allotment or, except in the case of a transfer which the Company is for the time being entitled to refuse to register and does not register, after lodgment of a transfer with the Company.

20. (1) Upon every transfer of shares the certificate held by the transferor shall be given up to be cancelled, and shall forthwith be cancelled accordingly, and a new certificate shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the shares transferred to him at such fee as is provided in paragraph (2) of this Article. If any of the shares included in the certificate so given up shall be retained by the transferor a new certificate for the balance shall be issued to him at the aforesaid fee payable by the transferor to the Company in respect thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The fee referred to in paragraph (1) above shall be an amount not exceeding the relevant maximum amount as the Designated Stock Exchange may from time to time determine provided that the Board may at any time determine a lower amount for such fee.

21. If a share certificate shall be damaged or defaced or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed a new certificate representing the same shares may be issued to the relevant Member upon request and on payment of such fee as the Company may determine and, subject to compliance with such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and to payment of the costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Company in investigating such evidence and preparing such indemnity as the Board may think fit and, in case of damage or defacement, on delivery of the old certificate to the Company provided always that where share warrants have been issued, no new share warrant shall be issued to replace one that has been lost unless the Board has determined that the original has been destroyed.

22. The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) for all moneys (whether presently payable or not) called or payable at a fixed time in respect of that share. The Company shall also have a first and paramount lien on every share (not being a fully paid share) registered in the name of a Member (whether or not jointly with other Members) for all amounts of money presently payable by such Member or his estate to the Company whether the same shall have been incurred before or after notice to the Company of any equitable or other interest of any person other than such member, and whether the period for the payment or discharge of the same shall have actually arrived or not, and notwithstanding that the same are joint debts or liabilities of such Member or his estate and any other person, whether a Member of the Company or not. The Company's lien on a share shall extend to all dividends or other moneys payable thereon or in respect thereof. The Board may at any time, generally or in any particular case, waive any lien that has arisen or declare any share exempt in whole or in part, from the provisions of this Article.

23. Subject to these Articles, the Company may sell in such manner as the Board determines any share on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless some sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, or the liability or engagement in respect of which such lien exists is liable to be presently fulfilled or discharged nor until the expiration of fourteen (14) clear days after a notice in writing, stating and demanding payment of the sum presently payable, or specifying the liability or engagement and demanding fulfilment or discharge thereof and giving notice of the intention to sell in default, has been served on the registered holder for the time being of the share or the person entitled thereto by reason of his death or bankruptcy.

24. The net proceeds of the sale shall be received by the Company and applied in or towards payment or discharge of the debt or liability in respect of which the lien exists, so far as the same is presently payable, and any residue shall (subject to a like lien for debts or liabilities not presently payable as existed upon the share prior to the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the share at the time of the sale. To give effect to any such sale the Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the shares so transferred and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

<u>CALLS ON SHARES</u>

25. Subject to these Articles and to the terms of allotment, the Board may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium), and each Member shall (subject to being given at least fourteen (14) clear days' Notice specifying the time and place of payment) pay to the Company as required by such notice the amount called on his shares. A call may be extended, postponed or revoked in whole or in part as the Board determines but no member shall be entitled to any such extension, postponement or revocation except as a matter of grace and favour.

26. A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Board authorising the call was passed and may be made payable either in one lump sum or by instalments.

27. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the shares in respect of which the call was made. The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls and instalments due in respect thereof or other moneys due in respect thereof.

28. If a sum called in respect of a share is not paid before or on the day appointed for payment thereof, the person from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day appointed for payment thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate (not exceeding twenty per cent. (20%) per annum) as the Board may determine, but the Board may in its absolute discretion waive payment of such interest wholly or in part.

29. No Member shall be entitled to receive any dividend or bonus or to be present and vote (save as proxy for another Member) at any general meeting either personally or by proxy, or be reckoned in a quorum, or exercise any other privilege as a Member until all calls or instalments due by him to the Company, whether alone or jointly with any other person, together with interest and expenses (if any) shall have been paid.

30. On the trial or hearing of any action or other proceedings for the recovery of any money due for any call, it shall be sufficient to prove that the name of the Member sued is entered in the Register as the holder, or one of the holders, of the shares in respect of which such debt accrued, that the resolution making the call is duly recorded in the minute book, and that notice of such call was duly given to the Member sued, in pursuance of these Articles; and it shall not be necessary to prove the appointment of the Directors who made such call, nor any other matters whatsoever, but the proof of the matters aforesaid shall be conclusive evidence of the debt.

31. Any amount payable in respect of a share upon allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value or premium or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date fixed for payment and if it is not paid the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

32. On the issue of shares the Board may differentiate between the allottees or holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.

33. The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any Member willing to advance the same, and either in money or money's worth, all or any part of the moneys uncalled and unpaid or instalments payable upon any shares held by him and upon all or any of the moneys so advanced (until the same would, but for such advance, become presently payable) pay interest at such rate (if any) as the Board may decide. The Board may at any time repay the amount so advanced upon giving to such Member not less than one month's Notice of its intention in that behalf, unless before the expiration of such notice the amount so advanced shall have been called up on the shares in respect of which it was advanced. Such payment in advance shall not entitle the holder of such share or shares to participate in respect thereof in a dividend subsequently declared.

<u>FORFEITURE OF SHARES</u>

34. (1) If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Board may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) clear days' Notice:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and which may
still accrue up to the date of actual payment; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) stating that if the Notice is not complied with the shares on which the call was made will be liable to
be forfeited.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) If the requirements of any such Notice are not complied with, any share in respect of which such Notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before payment of all calls and interest due in respect thereof has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect, and such forfeiture shall include all dividends and bonuses declared in respect of the forfeited share but not actually paid before the forfeiture.

35. When any share has been forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shall be served upon the person who was before forfeiture the holder of the share. No forfeiture shall be invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such Notice.

36. The Board may accept the surrender of any share liable to be forfeited hereunder and, in such case, references in these Articles to forfeiture will include surrender.

37. Any share so forfeited shall be deemed the property of the Company and may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of to such person, upon such terms and in such manner as the Board determines, and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be annulled by the Board on such terms as the Board determines.

38. A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited shares but nevertheless shall remain liable to pay the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, with (if the Directors shall in their discretion so require) interest thereon from the date of forfeiture until payment at such rate (not exceeding twenty per cent. (20%) per annum) as the Board determines. The Board may enforce payment thereof if it thinks fit, and without any deduction or allowance for the value of the forfeited shares, at the date of forfeiture, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all such moneys in respect of the shares. For the purposes of this Article any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, is payable thereon at a fixed time which is subsequent to the date of forfeiture, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, shall notwithstanding that time has not yet arrived be deemed to be payable at the date of forfeiture, and the same shall become due and payable immediately upon the forfeiture, but interest thereon shall only be payable in respect of any period between the said fixed time and the date of actual payment.

39. A declaration by a Director or the Secretary that a share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share, and such declaration shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer by the Company if necessary) constitute a good title to the share, and the person to whom the share is disposed of shall be registered as the holder of the share and shall not be bound to see to the application of the consideration (if any), nor shall his title to the share be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the share. When any share shall have been forfeited, notice of the declaration shall be given to the Member in whose name it stood immediately prior to the forfeiture, and an entry of the forfeiture, with the date thereof, shall forthwith be made in the register, but no forfeiture shall be in any manner invalidated by any omission or neglect to give such notice or make any such entry.

40. Notwithstanding any such forfeiture as aforesaid, the Board may at any time, before any shares so forfeited shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, permit the shares forfeited to be bought back upon the terms of payment of all calls and interest due upon and expenses incurred in respect of the share, and upon such further terms (if any) as it thinks fit.

41. The forfeiture of a share shall not prejudice the right of the Company to any call already made or instalment payable thereon.

42. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

<u>REGISTER OF MEMBERS</u>

43. (1) The Company shall keep in one or more books a Register of its Members and shall enter therein the following particulars, that is to say:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the name and address of each Member, the number and class of shares held by him and the amount paid or agreed to be considered as
paid on such shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the date on which each person was entered in the Register; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the date on which any person ceased to be a Member.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The Company may keep an overseas or local or other branch register of Members resident in any place, and the Board may make and vary such regulations as it determines in respect of the keeping of any such register and maintaining a Registration Office in connection therewith.

44. The Register and branch register of Members, as the case may be, shall be open to inspection for such times and on such days as the Board shall determine by Members without charge or by any other person, upon a maximum payment of $2.50 or such other sum specified by the Board, at the Office or Registration Office or such other place at which the Register is kept in accordance with the Act. The Register including any overseas or local or other branch register of Members may, after compliance with any notice requirement of the Designated Stock Exchange , be closed at such times or for such periods not exceeding in the whole thirty (30) days in each year as the Board may determine and either generally or in respect of any class of shares.

<u>RECORD DATES</u>

45. For the purpose of determining the Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any general meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of shares or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of Members, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other such action.

If the Board does not fix a record date for any general meeting, the record date for determining the Members entitled to a notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with these Articles notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. The record date for determining the Members for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

A determination of the Members of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

<u>TRANSFER OF SHARES</u>

46. Subject to these Articles, including, without limitation, in the case of Class B Ordinary Shares, Article 9(c), any Member may transfer all or any of his shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange or in any other form approved by the Board and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a clearing house or a central depository house or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Board may approve from time to time.

47. The instrument of transfer shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferee provided that the Board may dispense with the execution of the instrument of transfer by the transferee in any case which it thinks fit in its discretion to do so. Without prejudice to the last preceding Article, the Board may also resolve, either generally or in any particular case, upon request by either the transferor or transferee, to accept mechanically executed transfers. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof. Nothing in these Articles shall preclude the Board from recognising a renunciation of the allotment or provisional allotment of any share by the allottee in favour of some other person.

48. (1) The Board may, in its absolute discretion, and without giving any reason therefor, refuse to register a transfer of any share (not being a fully paid up share) to a person of whom it does not approve, or any share issued under any share incentive scheme for employees upon which a restriction on transfer imposed thereby still subsists, and it may also, without prejudice to the foregoing generality, refuse to register a transfer of any share to more than four joint holders or a transfer of any share (not being a fully paid up share) on which the Company has a lien.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The Board in so far as permitted by any applicable law may, in its absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time transfer any share upon the Register to any branch register or any share on any branch register to the Register or any other branch register. In the event of any such transfer, the shareholder requesting such transfer shall bear the cost of effecting the transfer unless the Board otherwise determines.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Unless the Board otherwise agrees (which agreement may be on such terms and subject to such conditions as the Board in its absolute discretion may from time to time determine, and which agreement the Board shall, without giving any reason therefor, be entitled in its absolute discretion to give or withhold), no shares upon the Register shall be transferred to any branch register nor shall shares on any branch register be transferred to the Register or any other branch register and all transfers and other documents of title shall be lodged for registration, and registered, in the case of any shares on a branch register, at the relevant Registration Office, and, in the case of any shares on the Register, at the Office or such other place at which the Register is kept in accordance with the Act.

49. Without limiting the generality of the last preceding Article, the Board may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless:-

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a fee of such maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchange may determine to be payable or such lesser
sum as the Board may from time to time require is paid to the Company in respect thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of share;

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the instrument of transfer is lodged at the Office or such
 other place at which the Register is kept in accordance with the Act or the Registration Office (as the case may be) accompanied by
 the relevant share certificate(s) and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably
require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and, if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person
on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) if applicable, the instrument of transfer is duly and properly stamped.

50. If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any share, it shall, within three months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to each of the transferor and transferee notice of the refusal.

51. The registration of transfers of shares or of any class of shares may, after compliance with any notice requirement of the Designated Stock Exchange, be suspended at such times and for such periods (not exceeding in the whole thirty (30) days in any year) as the Board may determine.

<u>TRANSMISSION OF SHARES</u>

52. If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors where the deceased was a joint holder, and his legal personal representatives where he was a sole or only surviving holder, will be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the shares; but nothing in this Article will release the estate of a deceased Member (whether sole or joint) from any liability in respect of any share which had been solely or jointly held by him.

53. Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or winding-up of a Member may, upon such evidence as to his title being produced as may be required by the Board, elect either to become the holder of the share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee thereof. If he elects to become the holder he shall notify the Company in writing either at the Registration Office or Office, as the case may be, to that effect. If he elects to have another person registered he shall execute a transfer of the share in favour of that person. The provisions of these Articles relating to the transfer and registration of transfers of shares shall apply to such notice or transfer as aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the Member had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed by such Member.

54. A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or winding-up of a Member shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the share. However, the Board may, if it thinks fit, withhold the payment of any dividend payable or other advantages in respect of such share until such person shall become the registered holder of the share or shall have effectually transferred such share, but, subject to the requirements of Article 75(2) being met, such a person may vote at meetings.

<u>UNTRACEABLE MEMBERS</u>

55. (1) Without prejudice to the rights of the Company under paragraph (2) of this Article, the Company may cease sending cheques for dividend entitlements or dividend warrants by post if such cheques or warrants have been left uncashed on two consecutive occasions. However, the Company may exercise the power to cease sending cheques for dividend entitlements or dividend warrants after the first occasion on which such a cheque or warrant is returned undelivered.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) The Company shall have the power to sell, in such manner as the Board thinks fit, any shares of a Member who is untraceable, but no such sale shall be made unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all cheques or warrants in respect of dividends of the shares in question, being not less than three in
total number, for any sum payable in cash to the holder of such shares in respect of them sent during the relevant period in the manner
authorised by the Articles of the Company have remained uncashed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) so far as it is aware at the end of the relevant period, the Company has not at any time during the relevant
period received any indication of the existence of the Member who is the holder of such shares or of a person entitled to such shares
by death, bankruptcy or operation of law; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Company, if so required by the rules governing the listing of shares on the Designated Stock Exchange,
has given notice to, and caused advertisement in newspapers to be made in accordance with the requirements of, the Designated Stock Exchange
of its intention to sell such shares in the manner required by the Designated Stock Exchange, and a period of three months or such shorter
period as may be allowed by the Designated Stock Exchange has elapsed since the date of such advertisement.

For the purpose of the foregoing, the "relevant period" means the period commencing twelve (12) years before the date of publication of the advertisement referred to in paragraph (c) of this Article and ending at the expiry of the period referred to in that paragraph.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To give effect to any such sale the Board may authorise some person to transfer the said shares and an instrument of transfer signed or otherwise executed by or on behalf of such person shall be as effective as if it had been executed by the registered holder or the person entitled by transmission to such shares, and the purchaser shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale. The net proceeds of the sale will belong to the Company and upon receipt by the Company of such net proceeds it shall become indebted to the former Member for an amount equal to such net proceeds. No trust shall be created in respect of such debt and no interest shall be payable in respect of it and the Company shall not be required to account for any money earned from the net proceeds which may be employed in the business of the Company or as it thinks fit. Any sale under this Article shall be valid and effective notwithstanding that the Member holding the shares sold is dead, bankrupt or otherwise under any legal disability or incapacity.

<u>GENERAL MEETINGS</u>

56. An annual general meeting of the Company shall be held in each year other than the year in which these Articles were adopted at such time and place as may be determined by the Board.

57. Each general meeting, other than an annual general meeting, shall be called an extraordinary general meeting. All general meetings (including an annual general meeting, any adjourned meeting or postponed meeting) may be held as a physical meeting in any part of the world and at one or more locations as provided in Article 64A, as a hybrid meeting or as an electronic meeting, as may be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion.

58.

If within twenty-one (21) days of such deposit the Board fails to proceed to convene such meeting the requisitionist(s) himself (themselves) may do so in the same manner, and all reasonable expenses incurred by the requisitionist(s) as a result of the failure of the Board shall be reimbursed to the requisitionist(s) by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) A meeting requisitioned under Article 58(2) shall not be permitted to consider or vote upon (1) any resolutions with respect to the election, appointment or removal of Directors or with respect to the size of the Board, unless such proposal is first approved by the Nomination Committee of the Board; or (2) any Special Resolutions or any matters required to be passed by way of Special Resolution pursuant to these Articles or the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Other than by way of requisition under Article 58(2), Members have no right to propose resolutions or other business to be considered and voted upon at any general meeting of the Company.

<u>NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS</u>

59. (1) An annual general meeting and any extraordinary general meeting may be called by not less than ten (10) clear days' Notice but a general meeting may be called by shorter notice, subject to the Act, if it is so agreed:

Notice of every general meeting shall be given to all Members other than to such Members as, under the provisions of these Articles or the terms of issue of the shares they hold, are not entitled to receive such Notices from the Company, to all persons entitled to a share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or winding-up of a Member and to each of the Directors and the Auditors.

60. The accidental omission to give Notice of a meeting or (in cases where instruments of proxy are sent out with the Notice) to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non-receipt of such Notice or such instrument of proxy by, any person entitled to receive such Notice shall not invalidate any resolution passed or the proceedings at that meeting.

62. If within thirty (30) minutes (or such longer time not exceeding one hour as the chairman of the meeting may determine to wait) after the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such time and place as the Board may determine. If at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for holding the meeting, the meeting shall be dissolved.

63. The chairman of the Company shall preside as chairman at every general meeting. If at any meeting the chairman is not present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, or is not willing to act as chairman, the Directors present shall choose one of their number to act, or if one Director only is present he shall preside as chairman if willing to act. If no Director is present, or if each of the Directors present declines to take the chair, or if the chairman chosen shall retire from the chair, the Members present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote shall elect one of their number to be chairman.

64. <u>Subject to Article 64C, the</u> chairman may <u>(without the consent of the meeting) or shall at the direction of the meeting,</u> adjourn the meeting from time to time <u>(or indefinitely)</u> and<u>/or</u> from place to place<u>(s) and/or from one form to another (a physical meeting, a hybrid meeting or an electronic meeting)</u>, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting had the adjournment not taken place. When a meeting is adjourned for fourteen (14) days or more, at least seven (7) clear days' Notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given specifying <u>details set out in Article 59(2)</u> but it shall not be necessary to specify in such Notice the nature of the business to be transacted at the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted. Save as aforesaid, it shall be unnecessary to give Notice of an adjournment.

64A. (1) The Board may, at its absolute discretion, arrange for persons entitled to attend a general meeting to do so by simultaneous attendance and participation by means of electronic facilities at such location or locations ("**Meeting Location(s)**") determined by the Board at its absolute discretion. Any Member or any proxy attending and participating in such way or any Member or proxy attending and participating in an electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting by means of electronic facilities is deemed to be present at and shall be counted in the quorum of the meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) All general meetings are subject to the following and, where appropriate, all references to a "Member" or "Members" in this sub-paragraph (2) shall include a proxy or proxies respectively:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) where a Member is attending a Meeting Location and/or in the case of a hybrid meeting, the meeting shall
be treated as having commenced if it has commenced at the Principal Meeting Place;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Members present in person or by proxy at a Meeting Location and/or Members attending and participating
in an electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting by means of electronic facilities shall be counted in the quorum for and entitled to vote
at the meeting in question, and that meeting shall be duly constituted and its proceedings valid provided that the chairman of the meeting
is satisfied that adequate electronic facilities are available throughout the meeting to ensure that Members
at all Meeting Locations and Members participating in an electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting by means of electronic facilities are
able to participate in the business for which the meeting has been convened;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) where Members attend a meeting by being present at one of the Meeting Locations and/or where Members participating
in an electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting by means of electronic facilities, a failure (for any reason) of the electronic facilities
or communication equipment, or any other failure in the arrangements for enabling those in a Meeting Location other than the Principal
Meeting Place to participate in the business for which the meeting has been convened or in the case of an electronic meeting or a hybrid
meeting, the inability of one or more Members or proxies to access, or continue to access, the electronic facilities despite adequate
electronic facilities having been made available by the Company, shall not affect the validity of the meeting or the resolutions passed,
or any business conducted there or any action taken pursuant to such business provided that there is a quorum present throughout the meeting;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) if any of the Meeting Locations is not in the same jurisdiction as the Principal Meeting Place and/or
in the case of a hybrid meeting, the provisions of these Articles concerning the service and giving of Notice for the meeting, and the
time for lodging proxies, shall apply by reference to the Principal Meeting Place; and in the case of an electronic meeting, the time
for lodging proxies shall be as stated in the Notice for the meeting.

64B. The Board and, at any general meeting, the chairman of the meeting may from time to time make arrangements for managing attendance and/or participation and/or voting at the Principal Meeting Place, any Meeting Location(s) and/or participation in an electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting by means of electronic facilities (whether involving the issue of tickets or some other means of identification, passcode, seat reservation, electronic voting or otherwise) as it shall in its absolute discretion consider appropriate, and may from time to time change any such arrangements, provided that a Member who, pursuant to such arrangements, is not entitled to attend, in person or by proxy, at any Meeting Location shall be entitled so to attend at one of the other Meeting Locations; and the entitlement of any Member so to attend the meeting or adjourned meeting or postponed meeting at such Meeting Location or Meeting Locations shall be subject to any such arrangement as may be for the time being in force and by the Notice of meeting or adjourned meeting or postponed meeting stated to apply to the meeting.

64C. If it appears to the chairman of the general meeting that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the electronic facilities at the Principal Meeting Place or at such other Meeting Location(s) at which the meeting
may be attended have become inadequate for the purposes referred to in Article 64A(1) or are otherwise not sufficient to allow the meeting
to be conducted substantially in accordance with the provisions set out in the Notice of the meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in the case of an electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting, electronic facilities being made available by
the Company have become inadequate; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) it is not possible to ascertain the view of those present or to give all persons entitled to do so a reasonable
opportunity to communicate and/or vote at the meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) there is violence or the threat of violence, unruly behaviour or other disruption occurring at the meeting
or it is not possible to secure the proper and orderly conduct of the meeting;

then, without prejudice to any other power which the chairman of the meeting may have under these Articles or at common law, the chairman may, at his/her absolute discretion, without the consent of the meeting, and before or after the meeting has started and irrespective of whether a quorum is present, interrupt or adjourn the meeting (including adjournment for indefinite period). All business conducted at the meeting up to the time of such adjournment shall be valid.

64D. The Board and, at any general meeting, the chairman of the meeting may make any arrangement and impose any requirement or restriction the Board or the chairman of the meeting, as the case may be, considers appropriate to ensure the security and orderly conduct of a meeting (including, without limitation, requirements for evidence of identity to be produced by those attending the meeting, the searching of their personal property and the restriction of items that may be taken into the meeting place, determining the number and frequency of and the time allowed for questions that may be raised at a meeting). Members shall also comply with all requirements or restrictions imposed by the owner of the premises at which the meeting is held. Any decision made under this Article shall be final and conclusive and a person who refuses to comply with any such arrangements, requirements or restrictions may be refused entry to the meeting or ejected (physically or electronically) from the meeting.

64E. If, after the sending of Notice of a general meeting but before the meeting is held, or after the adjournment of a meeting but before the adjourned meeting is held (whether or not Notice of the adjourned meeting is required), the Directors, in their absolute discretion, consider that it is inappropriate, impracticable, unreasonable or undesirable for any reason to hold the general meeting on the date or at the time or place or by means of electronic facilities specified in the Notice calling the meeting, they may change or postpone the meeting to another date, time and/or place and/or change the electronic facilities and/or change the form of the meeting (a physical meeting, an electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting) without approval from the Members. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Directors shall have the power to provide in every Notice calling a general meeting the circumstances in which a postponement of the relevant general meeting may occur automatically without further notice, including without limitation where a number 8 or higher typhoon signal, black rainstorm warning or other similar event is in force at any time on the day of the meeting. This Article shall be subject to the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) when a meeting is so postponed, the Company shall endeavour to post a Notice of such postponement on the
Company's website as soon as practicable (provided that failure to post such a Notice shall not affect the automatic postponement
of a meeting);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) when only the form of the meeting or electronic facilities specified in the Notice are changed, the Board
shall notify the Members of details of such change in such manner as the Board may determine;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) when a meeting is postponed or changed in accordance with this Article, subject to and without prejudice
to Article 64, unless already specified in the original Notice of the meeting, the Board shall fix the date, time, place (if applicable)
and electronic facilities (if applicable) for the postponed or changed meeting and shall notify the Members of such details in such manner
as the Board may determine; further all proxy forms shall be valid (unless revoked or replaced by a new proxy) if they are received as
required by these Articles not less than 48 hours before the time of the postponed meeting; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Notice of the business to be transacted at the postponed or changed meeting shall not be required, nor
shall any accompanying documents be required to be recirculated, provided that the business to be transacted at the postponed or changed
meeting is the same as that set out in the original Notice of general meeting circulated to the Members.

64F. All persons seeking to attend and participate in an electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting shall be responsible for maintaining adequate facilities to enable them to do so. Subject to Article 64C, any inability of a person or persons to attend or participate in a general meeting by way of electronic facilities shall not invalidate the proceedings of and/or resolutions passed at that meeting.

64G. Without prejudice to other provisions in Article 64, a physical meeting may also be held by means of such telephone, electronic or other communication facilities as permit all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

65. If an amendment is proposed to any resolution under consideration but is in good faith ruled out of order by the chairman of the meeting, the proceedings on the substantive resolution shall not be invalidated by any error in such ruling. In the case of a resolution duly proposed as a special resolution, no amendment thereto (other than a mere clerical amendment to correct a patent error) may in any event be considered or voted upon.

<u>VOTING</u>

66. (1) Holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to receive notice of, attend, speak and vote at general meetings of the Company. Except as required by applicable law and subject to these Articles (including without limitation Article 10(a)), holders of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the Shareholders. Votes (whether on a show of hands or by way of poll) may be cast by such means, electronic or otherwise, as the Directors or the chairman of the meeting may determine.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any shares by or in accordance with these Articles, at any general meeting on a show of hands:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) every Member holding Class A Ordinary Shares present in person (or being a corporation, is present by
a duly authorised representative), or by proxy shall have one vote for every fully paid Class A Ordinary Share of which he is the holder
and on a poll every Member present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Member being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative
shall have one vote for every fully paid Class A Ordinary Share of which he is the holder; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) every Member holding Class B Ordinary Shares present in person (or being a corporation, is present by
a duly authorised representative), or by proxy shall have thirty (30) votes for every fully paid Class B Ordinary Share of which he is
the holder and on a poll every Member present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Member being a corporation, by its duly authorised
representative shall have thirty (30) votes for every fully paid Class B Ordinary Share of which he is the holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) No amount paid up or credited as paid up on a share in advance of calls or instalments is treated for the foregoing purposes as paid up on the share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Notwithstanding anything contained in these Articles, where more than one proxy is appointed by a Member which is a clearing house or a central depository house (or its nominee(s)), each such proxy shall have one vote on a show of hands. A resolution put to the vote of a meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded by the chairman of such meeting or by any one Member present in person or in the case of a Member being a corporation by its duly authorised representative or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting. A demand by a person as proxy for a Member or in the case of a Member being a corporation by its duly authorised representative shall be deemed to be the same as a demand by a Member.

67. Unless a poll is duly demanded and the demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or not carried by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect made in the minute book of the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded for or against the resolution.

68. If a poll is duly demanded the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded. There shall be no requirement for the chairman to disclose the voting figures on a poll.

69. A poll demanded on the election of a chairman, or on a question of adjournment, shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken in such manner (including the use of ballot or voting papers or tickets) and either forthwith or at such time (being not later than thirty (30) days after the date of the demand) and place as the chairman directs. It shall not be necessary (unless the chairman otherwise directs) for notice to be given of a poll not taken immediately.

70. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a meeting or the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded, and, with the consent of the chairman, it may be withdrawn at any time before the close of the meeting or the taking of the poll, whichever is the earlier.

71. On a poll votes may be given either personally or by proxy.

72. A person entitled to more than one vote on a poll need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

73. All questions submitted to a meeting shall be decided by a simple majority of votes except where a greater majority is required by these Articles or by the Act. In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman of such meeting shall be entitled to a second or casting vote in addition to any other vote he may have.

74. Where there are joint holders of any share any one of such joint holder may vote, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders be present at any meeting the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register in respect of the joint holding. Several executors or administrators of a deceased Member in whose name any share stands shall for the purposes of this Article be deemed joint holders thereof.

75. (1) A Member who is a patient for any purpose relating to mental health or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction for the protection or management of the affairs of persons incapable of managing their own affairs may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his receiver, committee, curator bonis or other person in the nature of a receiver, committee or curator bonis appointed by such court, and such receiver, committee, curator bonis or other person may vote on a poll by proxy, and may otherwise act and be treated as if he were the registered holder of such shares for the purposes of general meetings, provided that such evidence as the Board may require of the authority of the person claiming to vote shall have been deposited at the Office, head office or Registration Office, as appropriate, not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting, or adjourned meeting or poll, as the case may be.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Any person entitled under Article 53 to be registered as the holder of any shares may vote at any general meeting in respect thereof in the same manner as if he were the registered holder of such shares, provided that forty-eight (48) hours at least before the time of the holding of the meeting or adjourned meeting, as the case may be, at which he proposes to vote, he shall satisfy the Board of his entitlement to such shares, or the Board shall have previously admitted his right to vote at such meeting in respect thereof.

76. No Member shall, unless the Board otherwise determines, be entitled to attend and vote and to be reckoned in a quorum at any general meeting unless he is duly registered and all calls or other sums presently payable by him in respect of shares in the Company have been paid.

77. If:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) any objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) any votes have been counted which ought not to have been counted or which might have been rejected; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any votes are not counted which ought to have been counted;

the objection or error shall not vitiate the decision of the meeting or adjourned meeting on any resolution unless the same is raised or pointed out at the meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered or at which the error occurs. Any objection or error shall be referred to the chairman of the meeting and shall only vitiate the decision of the meeting on any resolution if the chairman decides that the same may have affected the decision of the meeting. The decision of the chairman on such matters shall be final and conclusive.

<u>PROXIES</u>

78. Any Member entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Company shall be entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to attend and vote instead of him. A Member who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf at a general meeting of the Company or at a class meeting. A proxy need not be a Member. In addition, a proxy or proxies representing either a Member who is an individual or a Member which is a corporation shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the Member which he or they represent as such Member could exercise.

79. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under its seal or under the hand of an officer, attorney or other person authorised to sign the same. In the case of an instrument of proxy purporting to be signed on behalf of a corporation by an officer thereof it shall be assumed, unless the contrary appears, that such officer was duly authorised to sign such instrument of proxy on behalf of the corporation without further evidence of the facts.

80. The instrument appointing a proxy and (if required by the Board) the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a certified copy of such power or authority, shall be delivered to such place or one of such places (if any) as may be specified for that purpose in or by way of note to or in any document accompanying the notice convening the meeting (or, if no place is so specified at the Registration Office or the Office, as may be appropriate) not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote or, in the case of a poll taken subsequently to the date of a meeting or adjourned meeting, not less than twenty-four (24) hours before the time appointed for the taking of the poll and in default the instrument of proxy shall not be treated as valid. No instrument appointing a proxy shall be valid after the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date named in it as the date of its execution, except at an adjourned meeting or on a poll demanded at a meeting or an adjourned meeting in cases where the meeting was originally held within twelve (12) months from such date. Delivery of an instrument appointing a proxy shall not preclude a Member from attending and voting in person at the meeting convened and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

81. Instruments of proxy shall be in any common form or in such other form as the Board may approve (provided that this shall not preclude the use of the two-way form) and the Board may, if it thinks fit, send out with the notice of any meeting forms of instrument of proxy for use at the meeting. The instrument of proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll and to vote on any amendment of a resolution put to the meeting for which it is given as the proxy thinks fit. The instrument of proxy shall, unless the contrary is stated therein, be valid as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates.

82. A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal, or revocation of the instrument of proxy or of the authority under which it was executed, provided that no intimation in writing of such death, insanity or revocation shall have been received by the Company at the Office or the Registration Office (or such other place as may be specified for the delivery of instruments of proxy in the notice convening the meeting or other document sent therewith) two hours at least before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting, or the taking of the poll, at which the instrument of proxy is used.

83. Anything which under these Articles a Member may do by proxy he may likewise do by his duly appointed attorney and the provisions of these Articles relating to proxies and instruments appointing proxies shall apply mutatis mutandis in relation to any such attorney and the instrument under which such attorney is appointed.

84. (1) Any corporation which is a Member may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of Members. The person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of such corporation as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member and such corporation shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be present in person at any such meeting if a person so authorised is present thereat.

Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the clearing house or central depository entity (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of the shares of the Company held by the clearing house or a central depository entity (or its nominee(s)) including the right to vote individually on a show of hands.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election by ordinary resolution of the members of the Company. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

<u>ALTERNATE DIRECTORS</u>

90. Any Director may at any time by Notice delivered to the Office or head office or at a meeting of the Directors appoint any person (including another Director) to be his alternate Director. Any person so appointed shall have all the rights and powers of the Director or Directors for whom such person is appointed in the alternative provided that such person shall not be counted more than once in determining whether or not a quorum is present. An alternate Director may be removed at any time by the body which appointed him and, subject thereto, the office of alternate Director shall continue until the happening of any event which, if we were a Director, would cause him to vacate such office or if his appointer ceases for any reason to be a Director. Any appointment or removal of an alternate Director shall be effected by Notice signed by the appointor and delivered to the Office or head office or tendered at a meeting of the Board. An alternate Director may also be a Director in his own right and may act as alternate to more than one Director. An alternate Director shall, if his appointor so requests, be entitled to receive notices of meetings of the Board or of committees of the Board to the same extent as, but in lieu of, the Director appointing him and shall be entitled to such extent to attend and vote as a Director at any such meeting at which the Director appointing him is not personally present and generally at such meeting to exercise and discharge all the functions, powers and duties of his appointor as a Director and for the purposes of the proceedings at such meeting the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if he were a Director save that as an alternate for more than one Director his voting rights shall be cumulative.

91. An alternate Director shall only be a Director for the purposes of the Act and shall only be subject to the provisions of the Act insofar as they relate to the duties and obligations of a Director when performing the functions of the Director for whom he is appointed in the alternative and shall alone be responsible to the Company for his acts and defaults and shall not be deemed to be the agent of or for the Director appointing him. An alternate Director shall be entitled to contract and be interested in and benefit from contracts or arrangements or transactions and to be repaid expenses and to be indemnified by the Company to the same extent mutatis mutandis as if he were a Director but he shall not be entitled to receive from the Company any fee in his capacity as an alternate Director except only such part, if any, of the remuneration otherwise payable to his appointor as such appointor may by Notice to the Company from time to time direct.

92. Every person acting as an alternate Director shall have one vote for each Director for whom he acts as alternate (in addition to his own vote if he is also a Director). If his appointor is for the time being absent from the People's Republic of China or otherwise not available or unable to act, the signature of an alternate Director to any resolution in writing of the Board or a committee of the Board of which his appointor is a member shall, unless the notice of his appointment provides to the contrary, be as effective as the signature of his appointor.

93. An alternate Director shall ipso facto cease to be an alternate Director if his appointor ceases for any reason to be a Director, however, such alternate Director or any other person may be re-appointed by the Directors to serve as an alternate Director PROVIDED always that, if at any meeting any Director retires but is re-elected at the same meeting, any appointment of such alternate Director pursuant to these Articles which was in force immediately before his retirement shall remain in force as though he had not retired.

97.

in any such other company. Subject as otherwise provided by these Articles the Directors may exercise or cause to be exercised the voting
powers conferred by the shares in any other company held or owned by the Company, or exercisable by them as Directors of such other company
in such manner in all respects as they think fit (including the exercise thereof in favour of any resolution appointing themselves or
any of them directors, or other officers of such company) or voting
or providing for the payment of remuneration to the director, or other officers of such other company and any Director may vote in favour

officer of such a company, and that as such he is or may become interested in the exercise of such voting rights in manner aforesaid.

99.

Any such transaction that would reasonably be likely to affect a Director's status as an "Independent Director", or that would constitute a "related party transaction" as defined by Item 7.N of Form 20F promulgated by the SEC, shall require the approval of the Audit Committee.

100. A Director who to his knowledge is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at the meeting of the Board at which the question of entering into the contract or arrangement is first considered, if he knows his interest then exists, or in any other case at the first meeting of the Board after he knows that he is or has become so interested.

be made with a specified person who is connected with him;

A document purporting to be a copy of a resolution, or an extract from the minutes of a meeting, of the Company or of the Board or any committee which is so certified shall be conclusive evidence in favour of all persons dealing with the Company upon the faith thereof that such resolution has been duly passed or, as the case may be, that such minutes or extract is a true and accurate record of proceedings at a duly constituted meeting.

and it shall conclusively be presumed in favour of the Company that every entry in the Register purporting to be made on the basis of any such documents so destroyed was duly and properly made and every share certificate so destroyed was a valid certificate duly and properly cancelled and that every instrument of transfer so destroyed was a valid and effective instrument duly and properly registered and that every other document destroyed hereunder was a valid and effective document in accordance with the recorded particulars thereof in the books or records of the Company. Provided always that: (1) the foregoing provisions of this Article shall apply only to the destruction of a document in good faith and without express notice to the Company that the preservation of such document was relevant to a claim; (2) nothing contained in this Article shall be construed as imposing upon the Company any liability in respect of the destruction of any such document earlier than as aforesaid or in any case where the conditions of proviso (1) above are not fulfilled; and (3) references in this Article to the destruction of any document include references to its disposal in any manner.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Notwithstanding any provision contained in these Articles, the Directors may, if permitted by applicable law, authorise the destruction of documents set out in sub-paragraphs (a) to (e) of paragraph (1) of this Article and any other documents in relation to share registration which have been microfilmed or electronically stored by the Company or by the share registrar on its behalf provided always that this Article shall apply only to the destruction of a document in good faith and without express notice to the Company and its share registrar that the preservation of such document was relevant to a claim.

<u>DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENTS</u>

134. Subject to the Act and any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares and these Articles, (i) the Board or (ii) the Company in general meeting (in the latter case, no dividend shall be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the Board) may from time to time declare dividends in any currency to be paid to the Members and other distributions on shares in issue and authorise payment of the same out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. At any and every time the Board or the Company declares dividends, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares shall have identical rights in the dividends so declared.

135. Dividends may be declared and paid out of the profits of the Company, realised or unrealised, or from any reserve set aside from profits which the Directors determine is no longer needed. The Board may also declare and pay dividends out of share premium account or any other fund or account which can be authorised for this purpose in accordance with the Act.

136. Except in so far as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share otherwise provide:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares in respect of
which the dividend is paid, but no amount paid up on a share in advance of calls shall be treated for the purposes of this Article as
paid up on the share; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) all dividends shall be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amounts paid up on the shares during
any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid.

137. The Board may from time to time pay to the Members such interim dividends as appear to the Board to be justified by the profits of the Company and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes, the Board may pay such interim dividends in respect of those shares in the capital of the Company which confer on the holders thereof deferred or non-preferential rights as well as in respect of those shares which confer on the holders thereof preferential rights with regard to dividend and provided that the Board acts bona fide the Board shall not incur any responsibility to the holders of shares conferring any preference for any damage that they may suffer by reason of the payment of an interim dividend on any shares having deferred or non-preferential rights and may also pay any fixed dividend which is payable on any shares of the Company half-yearly or on any other dates, whenever such profits, in the opinion of the Board, justifies such payment.

138. The Board may deduct from any dividend or other moneys payable to a Member by the Company on or in respect of any shares all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

139. No dividend or other moneys payable by the Company on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against the Company.

140. Any dividend, interest or other sum payable in cash to the holder of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post addressed to the holder at his registered address or, in the case of joint holders, addressed to the holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the shares at his address as appearing in the Register or addressed to such person and at such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall, unless the holder or joint holders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the order of the holder whose name stands first on the Register in respect of such shares, and shall be sent at his or their risk and payment of the cheque or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a good discharge to the Company notwithstanding that it may subsequently appear that the same has been stolen or that any endorsement thereon has been forged. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends or other moneys payable or property distributable in respect of the shares held by such joint holders.

141. All dividends or bonuses unclaimed for one (1) year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Board for the benefit of the Company until claimed. Any dividend or bonuses unclaimed after a period of six (6) years from the date of declaration shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company. The payment by the Board of any unclaimed dividend or other sums payable on or in respect of a share into a separate account shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.

142. Whenever the Board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend be paid or declared, the Board may further resolve that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets of any kind and in particular of paid up shares, debentures or warrants to subscribe securities of the Company or any other company, or in any one or more of such ways, and where any difficulty arises in regard to the distribution the Board may settle the same as it thinks expedient, and in particular may issue certificates in respect of fractions of shares, disregard fractional entitlements or round the same up or down, and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets, or any part thereof, and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all parties, and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Board and may appoint any person to sign any requisite instruments of transfer and other documents on behalf of the persons entitled to the dividend, and such appointment shall be effective and binding on the Members. The Board may resolve that no such assets shall be made available to Members with registered addresses in any particular territory or territories where, in the absence of a registration statement or other special formalities, such distribution of assets would or might, in the opinion of the Board, be unlawful or impracticable and in such event the only entitlement of the Members aforesaid shall be to receive cash payments as aforesaid. Members affected as a result of the foregoing sentence shall not be or be deemed to be a separate class of Members for any purpose whatsoever.

143. (1) Whenever the Board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend be paid or declared on any class of the share capital of the Company, the Board may further resolve either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully
paid up, provided that the Members entitled thereto will be entitled to elect to receive such dividend (or part thereof if the Board so
determines) in cash in lieu of such allotment. In such case, the following provisions shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the basis of any such allotment shall be determined by the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Board, after determining the basis of allotment, shall give not less than ten (10) days' Notice
to the holders of the relevant shares of the right of election accorded to them and shall send with such notice forms of election and
specify the procedure to be followed and the place at which and the latest date and time by which duly completed forms of election must
be lodged in order to be effective;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the right of election may be exercised in respect of the whole or part of that portion of the dividend
in respect of which the right of election has been accorded; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the dividend (or that part of the dividend to be satisfied by the allotment of shares as aforesaid) shall
not be payable in cash on shares in respect whereof the cash election has not been duly exercised ("the non-elected shares")
and in satisfaction thereof shares of the relevant class shall be allotted credited as fully paid up to the holders of the non-elected
shares on the basis of allotment determined as aforesaid and for such purpose the Board shall capitalise and apply out of any part of
the undivided profits of the Company (including profits carried and standing to the credit of any reserves or other special account, share
premium account, capital redemption reserve other than the Subscription Rights Reserve) as the Board may determine, such sum as may be
required to pay up in full the appropriate number of shares of the relevant class for allotment and distribution to and amongst the holders
of the non-elected shares on such basis; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) that the Members entitled to such dividend shall be entitled to elect to receive an allotment of shares
credited as fully paid up in lieu of the whole or such part of the dividend as the Board may think fit. In such case, the following provisions
shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the basis of any such allotment shall be determined by the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Board, after determining the basis of allotment, shall give not less than ten (10) days' Notice
to the holders of the relevant shares of the right of election accorded to them and shall send with such notice forms of election and
specify the procedure to be followed and the place at which and the latest date and time by which duly completed forms of election must
be lodged in order to be effective;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the right of election may be exercised in respect of the whole or part of that portion of the dividend
in respect of which the right of election has been accorded; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) the dividend (or that part of the dividend in respect of
 which a right of election has been accorded) shall not be payable in cash on shares in respect whereof the share election has been
 duly exercised ("the elected shares") and in lieu thereof shares of the relevant class shall be allotted credited as
 fully paid up to the holders of the elected shares on the basis of allotment determined as aforesaid and for such purpose the Board
 shall capitalise and apply out of any part of the undivided profits of the Company (including profits carried and standing to the
 credit of any reserves or other special account, share premium account, capital redemption reserve other
than the Subscription Rights Reserve) as the Board may determine, such sum as may be required to pay up in full the appropriate number
of shares of the relevant class for allotment and distribution to and amongst the holders of the elected shares on such basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) (a) The shares allotted pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Article shall rank pari passu
in all respects with shares of the same class (if any) then in issue save only as regards participation in the relevant dividend or in
any other distributions, bonuses or rights paid, made, declared or announced prior to or contemporaneously with the payment or declaration
of the relevant dividend unless, contemporaneously with the announcement by the Board of their proposal to apply the provisions of sub-paragraph
(a) or (b) of paragraph (2) of this Article in relation to the relevant dividend or contemporaneously with their announcement of the distribution,
bonus or rights in question, the Board shall specify that the shares to be allotted pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) of this
Article shall rank for participation in such distribution, bonus or rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Board may do all acts and things considered necessary or expedient to give effect to any capitalisation pursuant to the provisions
of paragraph (1) of this Article, with full power to the Board to make such provisions as it thinks fit in the case of shares becoming
distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby, in whole or in part, fractional entitlements are aggregated and sold and the
net proceeds distributed to those entitled, or are disregarded or rounded up or down or whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements
accrues to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Board may authorise any person to enter into on behalf of all Members
interested, an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental thereto and any agreement made pursuant
to such authority shall be effective and binding on all concerned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The Company may upon the recommendation of the Board by ordinary resolution resolve in respect of any one particular dividend of the Company that notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Article a dividend may be satisfied wholly in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up without offering any right to shareholders to elect to receive such dividend in cash in lieu of such allotment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The Board may on any occasion determine that rights of election and the allotment of shares under paragraph (1) of this Article shall not be made available or made to any shareholders with registered addresses in any territory where, in the absence of a registration statement or other special formalities, the circulation of an offer of such rights of election or the allotment of shares would or might, in the opinion of the Board, be unlawful or impracticable, and in such event the provisions aforesaid shall be read and construed subject to such determination. Members affected as a result of the foregoing sentence shall not be or be deemed to be a separate class of Members for any purpose whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Any resolution declaring a dividend on shares of any class, whether a resolution of the Company in general meeting or a resolution of the Board, may specify that the same shall be payable or distributable to the persons registered as the holders of such shares at the close of business on a particular date, notwithstanding that it may be a date prior to that on which the resolution is passed, and thereupon the dividend shall be payable or distributable to them in accordance with their respective holdings so registered, but without prejudice to the rights inter se in respect of such dividend of transferors and transferees of any such shares. The provisions of this Article shall mutatis mutandis apply to bonuses, capitalisation issues, distributions of realised capital profits or offers or grants made by the Company to the Members.

<u>RESERVES</u>

144. (1) The Board shall establish an account to be called the share premium account and shall carry to the credit of such account from time to time a sum equal to the amount or value of the premium paid on the issue of any share in the Company. Unless otherwise provided by the provisions of these Articles, the Board may apply the share premium account in any manner permitted by the Act. The Company shall at all times comply with the provisions of the Act in relation to the share premium account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Before recommending any dividend, the Board may set aside out of the profits of the Company such sums as it determines as reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Board, be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the Company may be properly applied and pending such application may, also at such discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Board may from time to time think fit and so that it shall not be necessary to keep any investments constituting the reserve or reserves separate or distinct from any other investments of the Company. The Board may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any profits which it may think prudent not to distribute.

<u>CAPITALISATION</u>

145. The Board may, at any time and from time to time, pass a resolution to the effect that it is desirable to capitalise all or any part of any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve or fund (including a share premium account and capital redemption reserve and the profit and loss account) whether or not the same is available for distribution and accordingly that such amount be set free for distribution among the Members or any class of Members who would be entitled thereto if it were distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions, on the footing that the same is not paid in cash but is applied either in or towards paying up the amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares in the Company held by such Members respectively or in paying up in full unissued shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company, to be allotted and distributed credited as fully paid up among such Members, or partly in one way and partly in the other, and the Board shall give effect to such resolution provided that, for the purposes of this Article, a share premium account and any capital redemption reserve or fund representing unrealised profits, may be applied only in paying up in full unissued shares of the Company to be allotted to such Members credited as fully paid.

146. The Board may settle, as it considers appropriate, any difficulty arising in regard to any distribution under the last preceding Article and in particular may issue certificates in respect of fractions of shares or authorise any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may resolve that the distribution should be as nearly as may be practicable in the correct proportion but not exactly so or may ignore fractions altogether, and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members in order to adjust the rights of all parties, as may seem expedient to the Board. The Board may appoint any person to sign on behalf of the persons entitled to participate in the distribution any contract necessary or desirable for giving effect thereto and such appointment shall be effective and binding upon the Members.

<u>SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS RESERVE</u>

147. The following provisions shall have effect to the extent that they are not prohibited by and are in compliance with the Act:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) If, so long as any of the rights attached to any warrants issued by the Company to subscribe for shares
of the Company shall remain exercisable, the Company does any act or engages in any transaction which, as a result of any adjustments
to the subscription price in accordance with the provisions of the conditions of the warrants, would reduce the subscription price to
below the par value of a share, then the following provisions shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) as from the date of such act or transaction the Company shall establish and thereafter (subject as provided
in this Article) maintain in accordance with the provisions of this Article a reserve (the "Subscription Rights Reserve")
the amount of which shall at no time be less than the sum which for the time being would be required to be capitalised and applied in
paying up in full the nominal amount of the additional shares required
to be issued and allotted credited as fully paid pursuant to sub-paragraph (c) below on the exercise in full of all the subscription rights
outstanding and shall apply the Subscription Rights Reserve in paying up such additional shares in full as and when the same are allotted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Subscription Rights Reserve shall not be used for any purpose other than that specified above unless
all other reserves of the Company (other than share premium account) have been extinguished and will then only be used to make good losses
of the Company if and so far as is required by law;

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) upon the exercise of all or any of the subscription rights
 represented by any warrant, the relevant subscription rights shall be exercisable in respect of a nominal amount of shares equal to
 the amount in cash which the holder of such warrant is required to pay on
exercise of the subscription rights represented thereby (or, as the case may be the relevant portion thereof in the event of a partial
exercise of the subscription rights) and, in addition, there shall be allotted in respect of such subscription rights to the exercising
warrantholder, credited as fully paid, such additional nominal amount of shares as is equal to the difference between:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the said amount in cash which the holder of such warrant is required to pay on exercise of the subscription
rights represented thereby (or, as the case may be, the relevant portion thereof in the event of a partial exercise of the subscription
rights); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the nominal amount of shares in respect of which such subscription rights would have been exercisable
having regard to the provisions of the conditions of the warrants, had it been possible for such subscription rights to represent the
right to subscribe for shares at less than par and immediately upon such exercise so much of the sum standing to the credit of the Subscription
Rights Reserve as is required to pay up in full such additional nominal amount of shares shall be capitalised and applied in paying up
in full such additional nominal amount of shares which shall forthwith be allotted credited as fully paid to the exercising warrantholders;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) if, upon the exercise of the subscription rights represented by any warrant, the amount standing to the
credit of the Subscription Rights Reserve is not sufficient to pay up in full such additional nominal amount of shares equal to such difference
as aforesaid to which the exercising warrantholder is entitled, the Board shall apply any profits or reserves then or thereafter becoming
available (including, to the extent permitted by law, share premium account) for such purpose until such additional nominal amount of
shares is paid up and allotted as aforesaid and until then no dividend or other distribution shall be paid or made on the fully paid shares
of the Company then in issue. Pending such payment and allotment, the exercising warrantholder shall be issued by the Company with a certificate
evidencing his right to the allotment of such additional nominal amount of shares. The rights represented by any such certificate shall
be in registered form and shall be transferable in whole or in part in units of one share in the like manner as the shares for the time
being are transferable, and the Company shall make such arrangements in relation to the maintenance of a register therefor and other matters
in relation thereto as the Board may think fit and adequate particulars thereof shall be made known to each relevant exercising warrantholder
upon the issue of such certificate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Shares allotted pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall rank pari passu in all respects with the other shares allotted on the relevant exercise of the subscription rights represented by the warrant concerned. Notwithstanding anything contained in paragraph (1) of this Article, no fraction of any share shall be allotted on exercise of the subscription rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The provision of this Article as to the establishment and maintenance of the Subscription Rights Reserve shall not be altered or added to in any way which would vary or abrogate, or which would have the effect of varying or abrogating the provisions for the benefit of any warrantholder or class of warrantholders under this Article without the sanction of a special resolution of such warrantholders or class of warrantholders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) A certificate or report by the auditors for the time being of the Company as to whether or not the Subscription Rights Reserve is required to be established and maintained and if so the amount thereof so required to be established and maintained, as to the purposes for which the Subscription Rights Reserve has been used, as to the extent to which it has been used to make good losses of the Company, as to the additional nominal amount of shares required to be allotted to exercising warrantholders credited as fully paid, and as to any other matter concerning the Subscription Rights Reserve shall (in the absence of manifest error) be conclusive and binding upon the Company and all warrantholders and shareholders.

<u>ACCOUNTING RECORDS</u>

148. The Board shall cause true accounts to be kept of the sums of money received and expended by the Company, and the matters in respect of which such receipt and expenditure take place, and of the property, assets, credits and liabilities of the Company and of all other matters required by the Act or necessary to give a true and fair view of the Company's affairs and to explain its transactions.

149. The accounting records shall be kept at the Office or, at such other place or places as the Board decides and shall always be open to inspection by the Directors. No Member (other than a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any accounting record or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Board or the Company in general meeting.

150. Subject to Article 151, a printed copy of the Directors' report, accompanied by the balance sheet and profit and loss account, including every document required by law to be annexed thereto, made up to the end of the applicable financial year and containing a summary of the assets and liabilities of the Company under convenient heads and a statement of income and expenditure, together with a copy of the Auditors' report, shall be sent to each person entitled thereto before the date of the general meeting and laid before the Company at the annual general meeting held in accordance with Article 56 provided that this Article shall not require a copy of those documents to be sent to any person whose address the Company is not aware or to more than one of the joint holders of any shares or debentures.

151. Subject to due compliance with all applicable Statutes, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, and to obtaining all necessary consents, if any, required thereunder, the requirements of Article 150 shall be deemed satisfied in relation to any person by sending to the person in any manner not prohibited by the Statutes, a summary financial statement derived from the Company's annual accounts and the directors' report which shall be in the form and containing the information required by applicable laws and regulations, provided that any person who is otherwise entitled to the annual financial statements of the Company and the directors' report thereon may, if he so requires by notice in writing served on the Company, demand that the Company sends to him, in addition to a summary financial statement, a complete printed copy of the Company's annual financial statement and the directors' report thereon.

152.

## Exhibit 2.3

**Exhibit 2.3**

**Description of Rights of Each Class of Securities<br> Registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as Amended (the "Exchange Act")**

The share capital of Planet Image International Limited ("we," "our," "our company," or "us") is HK$380,000 divided into 3,800,000,000 shares, of nominal or par value of HK$0.0001 each, comprising of (i) 2,000,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.0001 each (the "Shares"), (ii) 1,000,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of HK$0.0001 each, and (iii) 800,000,000 preference shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.0001 each. We have one class of securities registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and our Class A ordinary shares are listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

**Description of Shares**

The following is a summary of material provisions of our currently effective amended and restated memorandum of association and articles of association (the "Memorandum and Articles of Association" and the "Articles"), as well as the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the "Cayman Companies Act") insofar as they relate to the material terms of our Shares. Notwithstanding this, because it is a summary, it may not contain all the information that you may otherwise deem important. For more complete information, you should read the entire Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, which have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 1.1 to our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

***Type and Class of Securities (Item 9.A.5 of Form 20-F)***

We had one class of securities, our Class A ordinary shares, registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Each Class A ordinary share has a par value of HK$0.0001 each. The number of Class A ordinary shares that have been issued as of the last day of the financial year ended December 31, 2025 is provided on the cover of the annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Our Class A ordinary shares may be held in either certificated or uncertificated form.

***Preemptive Rights (Item 9.A.3 of Form 20-F)***

Our Class A ordinary shares are not subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights under the Cayman Companies Act or pursuant to the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

***Limitations or Qualifications (Item 9.A.6 of Form 20-F)***

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares shall, at all times, vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote by the shareholders. Each Class A ordinary share shall be entitled to one vote on all matters subject to vote at general and special meetings of our company and each Class B ordinary share shall be entitled to 30 votes on all matters subject to vote at general and special meetings of our company. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairman of such meeting or any one shareholder present in person or by proxy.

Each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof. Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances. Upon any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of any Class B ordinary shares by a holder thereof to any person or entity, each of such Class B ordinary shares will be automatically and immediately converted into one Class A ordinary share.

 ****

***Rights of Other Types of Securities (Item 9.A.7 of Form 20-F)***

Not applicable.

***Rights of Ordinary Shares (Item 10.B.3 of Form 20-F)***

*General*

Our authorized share capital is HK$380,000 divided into 3,800,000,000 shares, of nominal or par value of HK$0.0001 each, comprising of (i) 2,000,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.0001 each, (ii) 1,000,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of HK$0.0001 each, and (iii) 800,000,000 preference shares of a nominal or par value of HK$0.0001 each. All of our outstanding ordinary shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Certificates representing the ordinary shares are issued in registered form. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their ordinary shares.

*Dividends*

The holders of our ordinary shares are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our shareholders or board of directors subject to the Companies Act and to the articles of association.

 

*Conversion*

Each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof. Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances. Upon any sale, transfer, assignment or disposition of any Class B ordinary shares by a holder thereof to any person or entity, each of such Class B ordinary shares will be automatically and immediately converted into one Class A ordinary share.

 

*Voting Rights*

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares shall, at all times, vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote by the shareholders. Each Class A ordinary share shall be entitled to one vote on all matters subject to vote at general and special meetings of our company and each Class B ordinary share shall be entitled to 30 votes on all matters subject to vote at general and special meetings of our company. Voting at any meeting of shareholders is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by the chairman of such meeting or any one shareholder present in person or by proxy.

An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of votes attached to the ordinary shares cast in a general meeting, while a special resolution requires the affirmative vote of no less than two-thirds of votes cast attached to the ordinary shares. A special resolution will be required for important matters such as a change of name or making changes to our memorandum and articles of association.

 

*Transfer of Ordinary Shares*

Subject to the restrictions contained in our articles of association, as applicable, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his, her or its ordinary shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form approved by our board of directors.

Our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share. 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;

● the ordinary shares transferred are fully paid and free of any lien in our favor; and

● any fee related to the transfer has been paid to us; and

● the transfer is not to more than four joint holders.

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.

 

*Liquidation*

On a return of capital on winding up or otherwise (other than on conversion, redemption or purchase of ordinary shares), assets available for distribution among the holders of ordinary shares shall be distributed among the holders of the ordinary shares on a *pro rata* basis. If our assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid-up capital, the assets will be distributed so that the losses are borne by our shareholders proportionately.

 

*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. The ordinary shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are subject to forfeiture.

 

*Redemption of Ordinary Shares*

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and other applicable law, we may issue shares on terms that are subject to redemption, at our option or at the option of the holders, on such terms and in such manner, including out of capital, as may be determined by the board of directors.

 

*General Meetings of Shareholders*

Shareholders' meetings may be convened by a majority of our board of directors or our chairman or any director to give effect to a shareholder requisition. Advance notice of at least ten clear days is required for the convening of our annual general shareholders' meeting and any other general meeting of our shareholders. A quorum required for a meeting of shareholders consists of at least two shareholders present or by proxy, representing not less than one-third in nominal value of the total issued voting shares in our company.

 

*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 in our articles provide our shareholders with the right to inspect our list of shareholders and to receive annual audited financial statements. See "Where You Can Find Additional Information."

 

*Changes in Capital*

We 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 shall prescribe;

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

● sub-divide our existing shares, or any of them into shares of a smaller amount; or

● 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.

We may by special resolution reduce our share capital or any capital redemption reserve in any manner permitted by law.

 

*Exempted Company*

We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands. The Companies Act in the Cayman Islands 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 for the exemptions and privileges listed below:

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

● an exempted company's register of members is not required to be open to inspection;

● an exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

● an exempted company may issue shares with no par value;

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

● an exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

● an exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and

● an exempted company 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. We are subject to reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable to foreign private issuers. We currently complies with and intend to continue complying with the Nasdaq Rules in lieu of following home country practice. The Nasdaq Rules require that every company listed on the Nasdaq hold an annual general meeting of shareholders. In addition, our articles of association allow directors to call special meeting of shareholders pursuant to the procedures set forth in our articles.

***Requirements to Change the Rights of Holders of Ordinary Shares (Item 10.B.4 of Form 20-F)***

*Variations of Rights of Shares*

If at any time, our share capital is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the special rights attached to any class of shares may, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, be varied with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. Consequently, the rights of any class of shares cannot be detrimentally altered without a majority of two-thirds of the votes of all of the shares in that class cast at a meeting of the shareholders of that class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights 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.

***Limitations on the Rights to Own Ordinary Shares (Item 10.B.6 of Form 20-F)***

There are no limitations under the laws of the Cayman Islands or under the Memorandum and Articles of Association that limit the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote ordinary shares.

***Provisions Affecting Any Change of Control (Item 10.B.7 of Form 20-F)***

*Anti-Takeover Provisions*

Some provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our company or management that shareholders may consider favorable, including, among other things, the following:

● provisions that authorize our board of directors to issue shares with preferred, deferred, or other special rights or restrictions 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.

Under the Cayman Companies Act, our directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under the Articles for what they believe in good faith to be in the best interests of our company and for a proper purpose.

***Ownership Threshold (Item 10.B.8 of Form 20-F)***

There are no provisions under the Cayman Companies Act or under the Memorandum and Articles of Association that govern the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

***Differences Between the Law of Different Jurisdictions (Item 10.B.9 of Form 20-F)***

The Companies Act is modeled after that of England and Wales but does not follow recent statutory enactments in England. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant 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*

A merger of two or more constituent companies under Cayman Islands law requires a plan of merger or consolidation to be approved by the directors of each constituent company and authorization by (a) a special resolution of the members of each such constituent company and (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company's articles of association.

A merger between a Cayman parent company and its Cayman subsidiary or subsidiaries does not require authorization by a resolution of shareholders. For this purpose a subsidiary is a company of which at least ninety percent (90%) of the issued shares entitled to vote are owned by the parent company.

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 circumstances, a dissentient shareholder of a Cayman constituent company is entitled to payment of the fair value of his shares upon dissenting to a merger or consolidation. The exercise of appraisal rights will preclude the exercise of any other rights save for the right to seek relief on the grounds that the merger or consolidation is void or unlawful.

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. In the case of a shareholder scheme, by seventy-five per cent in value of the members or class of members, as the case may be, with whom the arrangement is to be made and, in the case of a creditor scheme only a majority in number of each class of 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 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 and the statutory majority are acting bona fide without coercion of the minority to promote interests adverse to those of the class;

● 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 a 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, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares to the offeror on the terms of the offer. 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.

The Companies Act also contains statutory provisions which provide that a company may present a petition to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands for the appointment of a restructuring officer on the grounds that the company (a) is or is likely to become unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 93 of the Companies Act; and (b) intends to present a compromise or arrangement to its creditors (or classes thereof) either, pursuant to the Companies Act, the law of a foreign country or by way of a consensual restructuring. The petition may be presented by a company acting by its directors, without a resolution of its members or an express power in its articles of association. On hearing such a petition, the Cayman Islands court may, among other things, make an order appointing a restructuring officer or make any other order as the court thinks fit.

 

*Shareholders' Suits*

In principle, we will normally be the proper plaintiff 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 in the Cayman Islands, there are exceptions to the foregoing principle, including when:

● a company acts or proposes to act illegally or *ultra vires;* 

● the act complained of, although not *ultra vires,* could only be effected duly if authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; and

● those who control the company are perpetrating a "fraud on the minority."

 

*Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability*

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 memorandum and articles of association permit indemnification of officers and directors for losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred in their capacities as such unless such losses or damages arise from dishonesty or fraud which may attach to such directors or officers. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation. In addition, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and senior executive officers that will provide such persons with additional indemnification beyond that provided in our memorandum and articles of association.

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.

 

*Anti-Takeover Provisions in the Memorandum and Articles of Association*

Some provisions of our memorandum and 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 preference shares in one or more series and to designate the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preference shares without any further vote or action by our shareholders.

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

 

*Directors' Fiduciary Duties*

Under Delaware General Corporation 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. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her 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, a 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 is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company and therefore it is considered that he owes the following duties to the company — a duty to act *bona fide* in the best interests of the company, a duty not to make a personal profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him to do so) and a duty not to put himself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party and a duty to exercise powers for the purpose for which such powers were intended. A director of a Cayman Islands company owes to the company a duty to act with skill and care. 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, English and Commonwealth courts have moved towards an objective standard with regard to the required skill and care and these authorities are likely to be followed in the Cayman Islands.

 

*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. Our articles of association provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or extraordinary general meeting may be taken only upon the vote of the shareholders at a duly noticed and convened meeting and may not be taken by written resolution of shareholders without a meeting.

 

*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.

Cayman Islands law does not allow our shareholders to requisition a shareholders' meeting. However, our amended and restated articles of association provides that any one or more Members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than one third of the paid up capital of the Company carrying the right of voting at general meetings of the Company shall at all times have the right, by written requisition to the Board or the Secretary of the Company, to require an extraordinary general meeting to be called by the Board for the transaction of any business permitted by Article 58(3) as specified in such requisition; and such meeting shall be held within two (2) months after the deposit of such requisition. If within twenty one (21) days of such deposit the Board fails to proceed to convene such meeting the requisitionist(s) himself (themselves) may do so.

A meeting requisitioned under the Articles shall not be permitted to consider or vote upon (1) any resolutions with respect to the election, appointment or removal of Directors or with respect to the size of the Board, unless such proposal is first approved by the Nomination Committee of the Board; or (2) any Special Resolutions or any matters required to be passed by way of Special Resolution pursuant to the Articles or the Act. Other than by way of requisition under Article 58(2), Members have no right to propose resolutions or other business to be considered and voted upon at any general meeting of the Company. As an exempted Cayman Islands company, we are not obliged by law to call shareholders' annual general meetings. However, our articles of association require us to call such meetings every year.

 

*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. As permitted under Cayman Islands law, our articles of association do not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

 

*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. Under our articles of association, directors may be removed by ordinary resolution.

 

*Transactions with Interested Shareholders*

The Delaware General Corporation Law contains a business combination statute applicable to Delaware 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 stock within the past three years. This 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 Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that such transactions must be entered into *bona fide* in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and not with the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

*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 Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company is unable to pay its debts, by an ordinary resolution of its members. 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.

Under the Companies Act of the Cayman Islands and our articles of association, our company may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution of our shareholders.

 

*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 Cayman Islands law and our articles of association, if our share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, we may vary the rights attached to any class only with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

 

*Amendment of Governing Documents*

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation's governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. As permitted by Cayman Islands law, our memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution of our shareholders.

 

*Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders*

There are no limitations imposed by our memorandum and articles of association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in our memorandum and articles of association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

 

*Directors' Power to Issue Shares*

Subject to applicable law, our board of directors is empowered to issue or allot shares or grant options and warrants with or without preferred, deferred, qualified or other special rights or restrictions.

***Changes in Capital (Item 10.B.10 of Form 20-F)***

Subject to the Cayman Companies Act, we may, by ordinary resolution:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) increase our share capital by new shares of the amount fixed by that ordinary resolution and with the attached rights, priorities and privileges set out in that ordinary resolution;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of larger amount than our existing shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) convert all or any of our paid up shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into paid up shares of any denomination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) sub-divide our shares or any of them into shares of an amount smaller than that fixed, so, however, that in the sub-division, the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) cancel shares which, at the date of the passing of that ordinary 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.

Subject to the Cayman Companies Act and to any rights for the time being conferred on the shareholders holding a particular class of shares, our shareholders may, by special resolution, reduce our share capital in any way.

Article 2: Loan Amount and Term

2.1 The loan under this Agreement shall be denominated in [RMB], with an amount of [60,000,000.00] (in words: [Sixty Million Yuan Only]) (in case of discrepancy between the numeric and written amounts, the written amount shall prevail).

2.3 For each drawdown, the drawdown date shall be the date on which the loan funds are actually credited to the disbursement account, and the maturity date shall be the repayment date specified in the loan note (for installment repayments, the maturity date shall be determined in accordance with the repayment schedule agreed herein or separately by both parties). In no event shall the repayment date of any drawdown exceed the loan term specified herein.

Article 3: Interest Rate, Interest, and Fees

3.1 [Determination of RMB Loan Interest Rate]

The interest rate for RMB loans shall be determined as follows:

The interest rate for each loan shall be determined by adding a spread to the pricing benchmark, where the pricing benchmark is the [1-year]{.underline} Loan Prime Rate (LPR) published by the National Interbank Funding Center on the business day preceding the [drawdown date]{.underline} (drawdown date/effective date of this Agreement) (the first interest rate determination date), and the spread is [plus]{.underline} [30]{.underline} basis points (one basis point equals 0.01%, the same below). The spread shall remain unchanged during the loan term. For multiple drawdowns, the interest rate for each drawdown shall be calculated separately. If the LPR for the corresponding term is not published on the business day preceding the interest rate determination date, the LPR published on the immediately preceding business day shall apply, and so forth. After the first interest rate determination date, \*\*regardless of whether the loan has been drawn down\*\*, the loan interest rate shall be adjusted according to the following option [A]{.underline} (A/B):

A.Adjusted every [12]{.underline} (1/3/6/12) months, with interest calculated separately for each period. The interest rate determination date for the second and subsequent periods shall be the corresponding date after the completion of one period from the first interest rate determination date. On such date, the Lender shall adjust the loan interest rate based on the LPR for the aforementioned term published by the National Interbank Funding Center on the preceding business day and the agreed spread. If there is no corresponding date in the adjustment month, the last day of the month shall be deemed the corresponding date.

B.No adjustment shall be made during the entire loan term.

3.2 [Determination of Foreign Currency Loan Interest Rate]

The interest rate for foreign currency loans shall be determined by the following option (1/2/3):

(1) Fixed interest rate: The annual interest rate shall be %, and the rate shall remain unchanged during the term of this Agreement.

(2) Term interest rate: The interest rate for each loan shall be determined by adding a spread to the pricing benchmark, where the pricing benchmark is the [SOFR term rate/SONIA term rate/EURIBOR term rate/TORF term rate, etc.] for the term of [week/month/year] applicable on the [drawdown date/effective date of this Agreement] (the first interest rate determination date), and the spread is [plus/minus] basis points (one basis point equals 0.01%). The spread shall remain unchanged during the loan term. For multiple drawdowns, the interest rate for each drawdown shall be calculated separately. After the first interest rate determination date, \*\*regardless of whether the loan has been drawn down\*\*, the loan interest rate shall be adjusted according to the following option (A/B/C), with interest calculated separately for each period:

A. Adjusted every (1/3/6/12) months. The interest rate determination date for the second and subsequent periods shall be the corresponding date after the completion of one period from the first interest rate determination date.

C.No adjustment shall be made during the entire loan term.

\*\*The interest rate determination date shall be determined in accordance with the rules specified in Article 1.1 of Part II.

3. Overnight floating rate: The loan interest rate shall be determined by adding/minus basis points to the overnight financing rate (SOFR/SONIA/€STR/SARON or TONA, etc.) applicable to the loan currency on each interest calculation date (i.e., the drawdown date and each subsequent natural day). The spread shall remain unchanged during the loan term. The Lender shall determine the interest rate for each interest calculation date based on the applicable pricing benchmark and the aforementioned spread. The first interest rate determination date shall be the drawdown date for each loan, and subsequent interest rate determination dates shall be each interest calculation date after the first interest rate determination date. \*\*Interest shall be calculated using the (simple interest/simple and compound interest combination) method.

The interest rate determination date shall be determined in accordance with the rules specified in Article 1.1 of Part II.

3.3 Interest under this Agreement shall be calculated on a daily basis from the actual drawdown date and settled (monthly/quarterly/semi-annually). Upon loan maturity, any remaining unsettled interest shall be settled together with the principal. For loans denominated in GBP, AUD, CAD, SGD, or HKD, the daily interest rate = annual interest rate/365; for loans denominated in other currencies, the daily interest rate = annual interest rate/360.

3.4 For loans denominated in RMB, the default interest rate under this Agreement shall be the original loan interest rate plus %; for loans denominated in foreign currencies, the default interest rate under this Agreement shall be the original loan interest rate plus basis points (one basis point equals 0.01%). The penalty interest rate for misused loans shall be the original loan interest rate plus %.

3.5 In addition to interest, the Borrower shall pay a commitment fee to the Lender for any undrawn portion of the loan.

Article 11: Other Matters Agreed by Both Parties

**Part II: Specific Terms** 

Article 1: Interest Rate and Interest

1.1 For foreign currency loans with term interest rates or overnight floating rates, the pricing benchmark applicable on the interest rate determination date (T day; if the interest rate determination date is not a business day, the immediately preceding business day shall be deemed T day) shall be the rate displayed on the Refinitiv or Bloomberg terminal for the pricing benchmark specified herein as of T-N business days. \*\*If the pricing benchmark is negative, it shall be treated as zero.\*\* The business day refers to the local business day of the pricing benchmark administrator for the loan currency. For term interest rates, N = 2; for overnight floating rates, N = 5.

For clarity, the SOFR term rate specified herein refers to the SOFR term rate published by the CME as recognized by the ARRC; the SONIA term rate specified herein refers to the SONIA term rate published by Refinitiv.

If the pricing benchmark undergoes significant changes, the then-effective market rules shall apply. If the Lender requires the Borrower to sign a supplementary agreement regarding such matters, the Borrower shall cooperate.\*\*

1.2 For floating-rate loans under this Agreement, the interest rate adjustment rules after loan default shall remain unchanged.

1.3 For loans with monthly interest settlement, the interest settlement date shall be the 20th of each month; for quarterly interest settlement, the interest settlement date shall be the 20th of the last month of each quarter; for semi-annual interest settlement, the interest settlement date shall be June 20 and December 20 of each year.

1.4 The first interest period shall commence from the actual drawdown date to the first interest settlement date; the last interest period shall commence from the day following the end of the previous interest period to the final repayment date; other interest periods shall commence from the day following the end of the previous interest period to the next interest settlement date.

1.5 Loan interest = Loan principal × daily interest rate × actual days of usage.

For loans with interest rates determined under Article 3.2(3) of Part I and calculated using the simple and compound interest combination method, the interest calculation rules are as follows:\*\* For the portion calculated based on the pricing benchmark, the daily interest for each business day = (Loan principal + accumulated unpaid interest as of the previous natural day) × applicable benchmark daily interest rate; for non-business days, the interest shall be the same as that of the immediately preceding business day, unless the loan principal changes, in which case the interest shall be adjusted accordingly. The portion calculated based on the spread shall be calculated using the simple interest method. Business days herein refer to the local business days of the pricing benchmark administrator for the loan currency.

For loans using the equal principal and interest repayment method, the repayment amount shall be calculated as follows:

Monthly repayment amount = $\frac{\text{Loan principal} \times \text{periodic interest rate} \times (1 + \text{periodic interest rate})^{\text{number of repayment periods}}}{(1 + \text{periodic interest rate})^{\text{number of repayment periods}} - 1}$

1.6 If the People's Bank of China adjusts the loan interest rate determination method and such adjustment applies to the loan under this Agreement, the relevant regulations of the People's Bank of China shall apply, and the Lender shall not notify the Borrower separately.

1.7 If the loan interest rate is determined at the execution of this Agreement to be the LPR minus a certain number of basis points, the Lender reserves the right to reassess the interest rate concession granted to the Borrower annually. Based on national policies, the Borrower's credit status, and changes in loan guarantees, the Lender may decide to partially or wholly cancel the interest rate concession and notify the Borrower accordingly.

1.8 Unless otherwise specified, the loan interest rates herein are annualized rates calculated using the simple interest method.
