SUBJECT
TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE 10, 2024
PRELIMINARY
PROSPECTUS
TIANCI INTERNATIONAL,
INC.
[●] shares
of common stock
We are offering to
sell [●] shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, in a firm commitment underwritten offering (the
“Underwritten Offering”). We currently estimate that the public offering price will be between $[●] and $[●]
per share.
Our common stock is currently
traded on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “CIIT.” On [●], the last reported sale price for our common stock was
$[●] per share.
We intend to apply
to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CIIT”. No assurance can be given that our
application will be approved or that the trading prices of our common stock on the OTC Pink Market will be indicative of the prices
of our common stock if our common stock were traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If our application is not approved, the offering
will not be completed. The offering (including both “Underwritten Offering” and “Resale Offering” as defined
below) is contingent upon final approval of the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The offering price of
our shares of common stock in the Underwritten Offering will be determined between the underwriter and us at the time of pricing, considering
our historical performance and capital structure, prevailing market conditions, and overall assessment of our business, and may be at
a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the recent market price of our common stock and the public offering price of the common
stock used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the actual public offering price for the shares of common stock.
INVESTING IN OUR COMMON
STOCK IS SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW AND CONSIDER
ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON
PAGE 17.
Tianci International,
Inc. is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada with operations conducted by our subsidiary based in Hong
Kong. This is an offering of the common stock of the Nevada holding company, which does not conduct operations. You are not investing
in Roshing International Co., Limited, the Hong Kong operating company, and may never hold equity in our Hong Kong operating subsidiary.
Our structure involves unique risks to investors. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong” Unless the context provides otherwise, references in this registration statement to “we,” “us,”
“our company,” “our,” “the Company” and “Tianci” refers to Tianci International, Inc.,
“Tianci Seychelles” refers to Tianci Group Holding Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of Seychelles and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Tianci, “RQS United” refers RQS United Group Limited, a company organized under the laws of the
Republic of Seychelles and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tianci. “Roshing” refers to Roshing International Co., Limited, a
company organized under the laws of Hong Kong. See “Commonly Used Defined Terms” on page vii herein. Investors would
be purchasing interests in Tianci International, Inc., a Nevada company.
We have established controls
and procedures for cash flows within our organization. Our management team manages and supervises the transfers of funds among Tianci
and its subsidiaries under the Cash Flow Management Policy, an internal policy adopted by Tianci. Under this policy, Tianci focuses on
revenue management, cost control, working capital management, implementing financial strategies, and fulfilling compliance reporting duties.
Our management team closely monitors cash transfers within our organization and prepares monthly reports and annual budget plans. Each
transfer of cash between Tianci, and its subsidiaries is also subject to internal reporting and approval processes by reference to such
policy. In addition, cash transfers between Tianci, its subsidiaries, or investors shall follow the applicable Hong Kong laws and regulations.
See also “Prospectus Summary—Cash Flows through Our Organization.”
We and our subsidiaries face various legal and operational
risks and uncertainties associated with being based, or having all our operations, in Hong Kong. Our subsidiary, Roshing, is headquartered
in Hong Kong with no operations in mainland China. Since only few of Roshing’s customers are mainland China residents, we and our
subsidiaries should not become subject to certain laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”)
and related regulations as they continue to evolve, and we and our subsidiaries will not face uncertainties as to whether and how the
recent PRC government statements and regulatory developments, such as those relating to data and cyberspace security, and anti-monopoly
concerns, would not apply to us and our subsidiaries.
We are aware that PRC government may intervene or influence the Hong
Kong operations of an offshore holding company, such as those of our subsidiaries, at any time. These risks, together with uncertainties
in the legal system of Mainland China and the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, regulations, and policies, could hinder our
ability to offer or continue to offer the common stock, result in a material adverse change to Roshing’s business operations, and
damage our reputation, which could cause the common stock to significantly decline in value or become worthless. For a detailed description
of risks relating to the potential impact of PRC laws and regulations on Roshing’s business operations,
see “Risk Factors — All our operations are in Hong Kong. However, due to the long arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, the Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock.”
If we decide to pay
dividends on any of our common stock in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our subsidiaries.
Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid
by our Hong Kong subsidiary. There are no restrictions or limitation under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HKD into
foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong. See “Risk Factors - RISKS RELATED TO DOING
BUSINESS IN HONG KONG - We will rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Hong Kong subsidiary to fund
any cash and financing requirements we may have. In the future, the PRC government may impose restrictions on our ability to transfer
funds out of Hong Kong to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiary to make
payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business and might materially decrease the value of
our common stock.” On page 11 of this prospectus for more information.
On December 16, 2021, the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) issued a report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate
completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and in Hong Kong because of positions taken by PRC
and Hong Kong authorities in those jurisdictions. The PCAOB has made such designations as mandated under the Holding Foreign Companies
Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act. Our auditor, Michael T. Studer CPA P.C., headquartered in Freeport, New York, has been inspected by
the PCAOB on a regular basis, and it is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. If the PCAOB determines
in the future that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, trading in our common stock would be prohibited
under the HFCA Act. On August 26, 2022, the SEC issued a statement announcing that the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (“SOP”)
with the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China governing
inspections and investigations of audit firms based in Mainland China and Hong Kong, jointly agreeing on the need for a framework. On
December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it has secured complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms
headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate the previous Determination Report to the contrary. On December 29, 2022,
the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an
issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive
years instead of three, thus reducing the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted. The PCAOB is continuing
to demand complete access in Mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in
early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has
indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed. If the PCAOB in the
future again determines that it is unable to inspect and investigate completely auditors in Mainland China and Hong Kong, then the companies
audited by those auditors would be subject to a trading prohibition on U.S. markets pursuant to the HFCA Act and/or the AHFCAA. These
recent developments could also add uncertainties to this Underwritten Offering and we cannot assure you that the NASDAQ Capital Market
or regulatory authorities would not apply additional or more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s
audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or
experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong—Recent joint statement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the PCAOB, proposed
rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the newly enacted Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent
criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors
who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to the trading of our common stock on U.S. stock exchanges,
including the possibility that our securities can be delisted if the PCAOB cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.”
For a detailed description of risks related to
doing business in Hong Kong, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”
Following the completion of this Underwritten
Offering, our largest stockholder will beneficially own approximately [●]% of the aggregate voting power of our outstanding common
stock. As such, we will be deemed a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards. However, we do
not intend to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq listing
standards.

We have agreed to pay the underwriter a discount equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Underwritten
Offering, which does not include a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Underwritten Offering
payable to Prime Number Capital, LLC, or the underwriter. We have also agreed to issue, on the closing date of the Underwritten Offering,
warrants, to the underwriter, in an amount equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares sold by us in the Underwritten Offering,
including any shares issued pursuant to exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. For a description of the compensation
to be received by the underwriter, see “Underwriting”
on page 98. |
This Underwritten Offering is being conducted
on a firm commitment basis. The underwriter is obligated to take and pay for all of the shares of common stock if any such shares of common
stock are taken. We have granted the underwriter an option for a period of 45 days after the closing of the Underwritten Offering to purchase
up to [●] shares of common stock, or 15% of the total shares of common stock to be offered by us pursuant to the Underwritten Offering
(excluding common stock subject to this option), solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, at the public offering price less
the underwriting discounts. If the underwriter exercises the option in full, and assuming an offering price of US$[●] per share
of common stock, which is the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the total gross proceeds to us, before
underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses, will be $[●].
The underwriter expects to deliver the common
stock against payment as set forth under “Underwriting,” on or about [●], 2024 through
the book-entry facilities of The Depository Trust Company.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
nor any state securities commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or
passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Overview
Our primary line of business is global logistics.
The Company through its subsidiary, Roshing, provides global logistics services, encompassing booking and the transportation arrangement
and related logistics solutions. Roshing’s customized logistics solutions are tailored to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
As a logistics shipping operator, Roshing focuses
on ocean freight forwarding services, including container shipping and bulk goods shipping service.
For the container shipping, Roshing charters cargo
space from shipping suppliers (such as shipowners, non-vessel operating common carriers) and sub-charters that space to its customers
(cargo owners, cargo agents). For bulk goods shipping, Roshing issues fixture notes to customers, and then arranges the booking of ships
and signing charter contracts with suppliers (such as shipowners). Roshing tailors the selection of transport options and arranges to
transport the goods from the port of loading to the port of destination, so as to complete the performance of the contract.
Roshing currently does not own or operate any
transportation assets. By leveraging our senior management’s expertise in the global logistics industry and adopting an asset-light
strategy at the early stage, Roshing has seen a significant growth in logistics revenue during the six months ended January 31, 2024.
Shufang Gao, our Chief Executive Officer previously worked for a globally renowned shipping conglomerate, with over 20 years of management
experience. His expertise spans shipping operation management, and logistics transportation. Leveraging this experience, he has provided
the Company with the managerial framework to expand its global logistics business, as well as access to relevant customer and supplier
resources in the shipping industry. Roshing’s business is primarily carried out in Hong Kong and other locations in the Asia-Pacific
region, mainly in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam. Roshing’s logistics services also include the shipment of goods to African countries.
Roshing also generates revenue from the sale of
electronic parts, and certain business and technical consulting services, independent from its global logistics business.
Our
Services
Our operations conducted through
Roshing include the following services to our customers.
Global Logistics Services
Our global
logistics services accounted for the vast majority of our revenue for the six months ended January 31, 2024.
These services encompass ocean shipping operations and related logistics solutions. Roshing focuses on ocean freight forwarding
services, including container shipping and bulk goods shipping. Roshing customizes its logistics solutions to meet the diverse needs of
our customers, including the optimization of shipping routes and the utilization of vessels with different tonnages.
Roshing derives revenues by entering into
agreements that are generally comprised of a single performance obligation to ship freight either by container ships or by bulk
cargo vessels. The most significant drivers of changes in Roshing’s global logistics service revenue and related
transportation expenses are cargo volume, weight and sea route.
Our Service Process
Roshing has long-term and close relationships
with ocean shipping suppliers. When a customer makes an inquiry to Roshing, it is usually able to offer competitive quotes and customize
shipping solutions quickly.
Roshing begins by thoroughly evaluating the customer’s
logistics needs, including the type of goods being shipped, the destination, and the required transportation time. Based on this information,
Roshing designs an optimal transportation plan tailored to the customer’s specific requirements. This plan includes selecting the
most efficient shipping routes, determining the appropriate container or vessel size and type, and considering any special handling or
regulatory compliance requirements. Roshing then enters into a written contract with the customer for ocean shipping that can best meet
the customer’s needs and aligns with the customer’s timeline and cargo specifications.
Roshing works with each customer to develop a
cost-effective plan and service terms to meet the client’s needs. This involves detailed discussions to ensure that both parties
have a clear understanding of expectations, costs, and responsibilities. Roshing will assign cargo space from an appropriate container
ship or bulk cargo vessel based on the volume and weight of the shipment, minimize shipping costs, select the shortest route to save on
freight, and choose the port closest to the customer’s destination.
Throughout the entire shipping process, Roshing
maintains close oversight to ensure the safety and timely arrival of goods at the destination port. This involves real-time tracking and
monitoring of the shipment, handling any unforeseen issues that may arise, and providing regular updates to the customer. By doing so,
Roshing ensures that the goods are transported safely and arrive within the agreed timeframe, meeting all customer expectations.
We believe that Roshing stands out in the global
logistics landscape because of its core strengths. Firstly, Roshing’s management’s extensive network and industry relationships
empower us with access to a wide customer base, enabling tailored solutions for an array of logistics requirements. Additionally, Roshing’s
collaboration with direct shipping suppliers ensures transparent service delivery. Moreover, Roshing’s expertise in route optimization
enables us to efficiently manage logistics routes and secure favorable terms for its clients. These strengths collectively position Roshing
as a competitive player in the industry.

Our Market Opportunities
The shipping industry holds significant potential,
as indicated by BIMCO’s projections of substantial growth in ship supply and deliveries through 2025. With an expected increase
of 9.1% in 2024 and 4.1% in 2025, and a fleet growth of 14.9% by 2025, we believe that the industry is poised for expansion. Cargo volumes
are anticipated to grow steadily at a rate of 3-4% annually during this period. Moreover, the global economy is forecasted to experience
moderate growth, with the IMF estimating rates of 3.1% in 2024 and 3.2% in 2025.
In the bulk cargo market, strong demand is being driven
by factors such as heightened demand from China and export restrictions from Indonesia. We believe that the container shipping sector
will also see opportunities. Disruptions like the 40-day blockade in the Red Sea in January 2024 have led to notable increases in freight
rates. Additionally, ongoing container capacity shortages in China, which is expected to persist from the onset of the Chinese Spring
Festival in 2024, could further elevate freight rates, offering potential benefits to shipowners.
Our Mission
Creating Value
As a global logistics
enterprise, our primary mission is to provide customers with efficient, reliable, and safe shipping services that create value.
Promoting Global Trade
& Connectivity
As an important component
of global trade, we believe that global logistics enterprises have a mission to promote the development and connectivity of global trade
and promote the prosperity and development of the global economy by facilitating cross-border operations for businesses. We are committed
to cultivating a robust global network, both online and offline. The online part involves connecting with customers and suppliers through
social media platforms. The offline part includes acquiring potential customers through exhibitions, recommendations, and other direct
interactions.
Undertaking Social
Responsibility
We believe that shipping companies also need to
be socially responsible, pay attention to environmental protection, social welfare, promote sustainable development, and contribute to
the prosperity and development of society.
We strive to optimize shipping routes and transportation
plans to reduce energy consumption and emissions. Moreover, we intend to encourage our supply chain partners to adopt greener transportation
and packaging methods, contributing to the sustainability of the entire industry. We also seek to actively participate in environmental
projects and initiatives and collaborate with government and non-governmental organizations to focus on environmental protection.

Listing on OTC Pink Market
The Company’s common stock is quoted on
the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “CIIT”. The quotations reported on the OTC Pink Market reflect inter-dealer prices without
retail markup, markdown or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.
The Company’s common stock is thinly traded. The quoted bid and asked
prices for the common stock vary significantly from week to week. An investor holding shares of the Company’s common stock may find it
difficult to sell the shares and may find it impossible to sell more than a small number of shares at the quoted bid price.
Listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC
Pink Market under the symbol “CIIT.” In connection with this Underwritten Offering, we intend to apply to list our common
stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CIIT.” If our listing application is approved,
we expect to list our common stock on Nasdaq in connection with the Underwritten Offering, at which point our common stock will cease
to be traded on the OTC Pink Market. No assurance can be given that our listing application will be approved. Nasdaq listing requirements
include, among other things, a stock price threshold. As a result, prior to effectiveness, we will need to take the necessary steps to
meet Nasdaq listing requirements, which may include, but not be limited to, effectuating a reverse split of our common stock. If our application
is not approved, the offering will not be completed. The offering is contingent upon final approval of the listing of our common
stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Corporate Information
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of
Nevada. Our principal executive offices are located at Unit B,10/F., Ritz Plaza, No.122 Austin Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Our telephone number is 852-22510781. Our website is www.tianci-ciit.com. Information contained in, or that can be accessed through, our
website is not incorporated by reference into this registration statement, and you should not consider information on our website to be
part of this registration statement. Our agent for service of process in the United States is Northwest Registered Agent, LLC.
Information
Regarding our Capitalization
As of January 31,
2024 and the date of this prospectus, we had 14,781,803 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Additional information
regarding our issued and outstanding securities may be found under “Description of Capital
Stock.”
Unless otherwise specifically
stated, information throughout this prospectus does not assume the exercise of outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of our
common stock.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller
reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
and have elected to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosure available for smaller reporting companies. We will remain a smaller
reporting company until the end of the fiscal year in which (1) we have a public common equity float of more than $250 million, or (2)
we have annual revenues for the most recently completed fiscal year of more than $100 million and a public common equity float or public
float of more than $700 million. We also would not be eligible for status as a smaller reporting company if we become an investment company,
an asset-backed issuer or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company.
We have elected to take
advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may elect
to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders
may be different from what you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.
Implications of Being a Controlled Company
Shufang Gao, our Chief Executive Officer, has
voting control over approximately 62.11% of the aggregate voting power of the Company. Therefore, we currently meet the definition
of a “controlled company” under the corporate governance standards for Nasdaq listed companies and for so long as we remain
a controlled company under this definition, we are eligible to utilize certain exemptions from the corporate governance requirements of
Nasdaq. Upon the closing of this Underwritten Offering, Shufang Gao will own approximately [●]% of the voting power of our outstanding
voting stock.
As long as Shufang Gao owns at least 50% of the
voting power of our Company, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under the Nasdaq rules.
For so long as we are a controlled company under
that definition, we are permitted to rely on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including:
|
· |
an exemption from the rule that a majority of our Board must be independent directors; |
|
|
|
|
· |
an exemption from the rule that the compensation of our chief executive officer must be determined or recommended solely by independent directors; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
an exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors. |
Although we do not intend to rely on the “controlled
company” exemption under Nasdaq listing rules, we could elect to rely on this exemption in the future. If we elect to rely on the
“controlled company” exemption, a majority of the members of our Board might not be independent directors and our nominating
and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors.
As a result, you will not have the same protection
afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to these corporate governance requirements.
Our Resale Offering
Certain of our Stockholders
will be selling through the Resale Prospectus a total of [●] shares of common stock. We will not receive any proceeds from the sales
by the Selling Stockholders of the securities set forth in the Resale Prospectus.
The Resale Prospectus
is substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus, except for the following principal points:
|
· |
they contain different outside and inside front covers and back covers; |
|
|
|
|
· |
they contain different “Resale Offering” sections
in the “Prospectus Summary” section beginning on page [●]; |
|
|
|
|
· |
the “Capitalization” and “Dilution” sections from the Public Offering Prospectus are deleted from the Resale Prospectus; |
|
|
|
|
· |
a “Selling Stockholders” section is included in the Resale Prospectus; |
|
|
|
|
· |
the “Underwriting” section from the Public Offering Prospectus is deleted from the Resale Prospectus and a “Selling Shareholder Plan of Distribution” is inserted in its place in the Resale Prospectus; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
the “Legal Matters” section in the Resale Prospectus on page R-18 deletes the reference to counsel for the underwriter. |

Cash Flows through Our Organization
Tianci International, Inc. is a holding company
without operations of its own. We conduct our all operations through our Hong Kong subsidiary, Roshing. As a result, Tianci’s ability
to pay dividends depends upon dividends paid by Roshing. If our existing subsidiaries or any newly formed ones incur debt on their own
behalf in the future, the instruments governing their debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to Tianci. Under the current practice
of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by Roshing. The PRC laws and
regulations do not currently have any material impact on transfers of cash from Roshing to Tianci or from Tianci to Roshing. The statutory
reserve funds and the discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. See “Regulations related to Hong Kong Taxation -Tax on dividends” on page 80.
We have established controls and procedures for
cash flows within our organization. Our management team is the special task force that manages and supervises the transfers of funds among
Tianci and its subsidiaries under the Cash Flow Management Policy, an internal policy adopted by Tianci. Under this policy, Tianci focuses
on revenue management, cost control, working capital management, implementing financial strategies, and fulfilling compliance reporting
duties. Our management team closely monitors and manages cash transfers within our organization by preparing monthly reports and annual
budget plans. Each transfer of cash between Tianci, and a subsidiary is also subject to internal report and approval process by reference
to such policy. Each transfer of cash between Tianci, RQS Capital, and a subsidiary or branch is also subject to an internal report and
approval process by reference to such policy. In addition, cash transfers between Tianci, its subsidiaries, or investors shall follow
the applicable Hong Kong laws and regulations.

Our historical results for any period are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any future period. You should read the following summary financial information
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and the information under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this prospectus.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common
stock involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully consider the risks described below, as
well as the other information in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes. In addition,
we may face additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or which as of the date of this registration statement we might
not consider significant, which may adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition
and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case the trading price of our common stock could decline due
to any of these risks or uncertainties, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR
BUSINESS
Risks Related to the
Global Logistics Services
Geopolitical conditions,
such as political instability or conflict, terrorist attacks and international hostilities can affect the Maritime transportation industry,
which could adversely affect our business.
We conduct most of our
operations outside of the United States and our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and ability to pay dividends,
if any, in the future may be adversely affected by changing economic, political and government conditions in the countries and regions
where we operate. Moreover, we operate in a sector of the economy that has been and is likely to continue to be adversely impacted by
the effects of geopolitical developments, including political instability or conflict, terrorist attacks or international hostilities.
Currently, the world
economy faces a number of challenges, including tensions between the United States and China, new and continuing turmoil and hostilities
in Russia, Ukraine, the Middle and other geographic areas and countries, continuing economic weakness in the European Union and slowing
growth in China and the continuing threat of terrorist attacks around the world.
Trade barriers to protect
domestic industries against foreign imports depress shipping demand. Protectionist developments, such as the imposition of trade tariffs
or the perception they may occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions, and may significantly reduce global
trade. Moreover, increasing trade protectionism may cause an increase in (a) the cost of goods exported from regions globally, (b) the
length of time required to transport goods and (c) the risks associated with exporting goods. Such increases may significantly affect
the quantity of goods to be shipped, shipping time schedules, voyage costs and other associated costs, which could have an adverse
impact on our charterers’ business, operating results and financial condition and could thereby affect their ability to make timely
charter hire payments to us and to renew and increase the number of their time charters with us. This could have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition and operating results. Further, protectionist policies in any country could impact global markets,
including foreign exchange and securities markets. Any resulting changes in currency exchange rates, tariffs, treaties and other regulatory
matters could in turn adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Any reduction in
international commerce or disruption in global trade may adversely impact our business and operating results.
The Company
primarily provides services to customers engaged in international commerce. Everything that affects international trade has the potential
to expand or contract our primary markets and adversely impact our operating results. For example, international trade is influenced by:
| · | currency exchange rates and currency control regulations; |
| · | interest rate fluctuations; |
| · | changes and uncertainties in governmental policies and inter-governmental
disputes, which could result in increased tariff rates, quota restrictions, trade barriers and other types of restrictions; |
| · | changes in and application of international and domestic customs,
trade and security regulations; |
| · | wars, strikes, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, and other conflicts; |
| · | changes in labor and other costs, including the impacts of inflation; |
| · | increased global concerns regarding working conditions and environmental
sustainability; |
| · | changes in consumer attitudes regarding goods made in countries
other than their own; |
| · | changes in availability of credit; and |
| · | changes in the price and readily available quantities of oil and
other petroleum-related products. |
Our
industry is highly competitive, and failure to compete or respond to customer requirements could damage our business and the results of
operations.
The global
logistics services industry is intensely competitive and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. There are a large number
of companies competing in one or more segments of the industry, but the number of firms with a global network that offer a full complement
of logistics services is more limited. Nevertheless, many of these competitors have significantly more resources than the Company and
may pursue acquisition opportunities and are developing new technologies to gain competitive advantages. Depending on the location of
the shipper and the importer, we must compete against niche players, larger entities including carriers, and emerging technology companies.
The primary competitive factors are price and quality of service. Many larger customers utilize the services of multiple logistics providers.
Customers regularly solicit bids from competitors in order to improve service and to secure favorable pricing and contractual terms such
as: longer payment terms; flexible-price arrangements; and performance penalties. Increased competition and competitors’ acceptance
of expanded contractual terms coupled with customers’ dissatisfaction with elevated rates, scarce capacity, and extended transit
times could result in loss of business, reduced revenues, reduced margins, higher operating costs or loss of market share, any of which
would damage our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Difficulty
in forecasting timing or volumes of customer shipments or rate changes by carriers could adversely impact our margins and operating results.
We are not
aware of any accurate means of forecasting short-term customer requirements. However, long-term customer satisfaction depends upon our
ability to meet these unpredictable short-term customer requirements. Personnel costs, one of our larger costs, are always less flexible
in the very near term as we must staff to meet uncertain demand. As a result, short-term operating results could be disproportionately
affected.
The timing
of our revenues is, to a large degree, impacted by factors out of our control, such as a sudden change in consumer demand for goods, changes
in trade tariffs, product launches and/or manufacturing production delays. Additionally, many customers ship a significant portion of
their goods at or near the end of a quarter, and therefore, we may not learn of a shortfall in revenues until late in a quarter. To the
extent that a shortfall in revenues or earnings was not expected by securities analysts or investors, any such shortfall from levels predicted
by securities analysts or investors could have an immediate and adverse effect on the trading price of our stock.
Volatile
market conditions can create situations where rate increases charged by carriers and other service providers are implemented with little
or no advance notice. We often cannot pass these rate increases on to our customers in the same time frame, if at all. As a result, our
yields and margins can be negatively impacted.
Climate
change, including measures to address climate change, could adversely impact our business and financial results.
The long-term
effects of climate change are difficult to predict and may be widespread. The impacts of climate change may include physical risks (such
as rising sea levels, which could affect port operations or frequency and severity of extreme weather conditions, which could disrupt
our operations and damage cargo and our facilities), compliance costs and transition risks (such as increased regulation and taxation
to support carbon emissions reduction investments), shifts in customer demands (such as customers requiring more fuel efficient transportation
modes or transparency to carbon emissions in their supply chains) and customer contractual requirements around environmental initiatives
and other adverse effects. Our non-asset model gives us flexibility and an ability to change locations, modes, and carriers based on evolving
operating conditions. However, such impacts may disrupt our operations by adversely affecting our ability to procure services that meet
regulatory or customer requirements, depending on the availability of sufficient appropriate logistics solutions.
In addition,
the increasing concern over climate change has resulted and may continue to result in more regulations relating to climate change, including
regulating greenhouse gas emissions, restrictions on modes of transportation, alternative energy policies and sustainability initiatives,
such as the FuelEU Maritime initiative or the EU Emissions Trading System. If Hong Kong imposes more stringent restrictions and requirements
than our current legal or regulatory obligations, we may experience disruptions in, or increases in the costs associated with delivering
our services, which may negatively affect our operating our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Roshing faces risks
associated with the contents of shipments and inventories handled through its logistics services, including real or perceived quality
or health issues with the products that are handled through Roshing’s logistics services, and risks inherent in the logistics industry,
including personal injury, product damage, and transportation-related incidents.
The logistics
services Roshing provides are subject to accident risks, including ship collisions, cargo damage, and cargo loss. Such events can result
in significant financial costs, legal liability, and reputational damage. In addition, Roshing’s logistics service involve handling
a large volume of bulk merchandise and containers, through cargo and freights operated by third-party shipping suppliers across Roshing’s
logistics services, and face challenges with respect to the protection and examination of these bulk merchandise and containers. Bulk
merchandise and containers in its network may be delayed, stolen, damaged or lost during delivery for various reasons, and we may be perceived
or found liable for such incidents. Unsafe items, such as flammables and explosives, toxic or corrosive items and radioactive materials,
may damage other bulk merchandise and containers in shipping process, harm the personnel and facilities of the third-party shipping suppliers,
or even injure the recipients. Furthermore, if Roshing fails to prevent prohibited or restricted items from entering into its network
and if it participates in the facilitate transportation and delivery of such items unknowingly, Roshing may be subject to administrative
or even criminal penalties, and if any personal injury or property damage is concurrently caused, it may also be liable for civil compensation.
The logistics
services for delivery of bulk merchandise and containers also involve inherent risks associated with transportation safety. From time
to time, the vessels and personnel of its third-party shipping suppliers may be involved in transportation and cargo accidents, and the
bulk merchandise and containers carried by them may be lost or damaged.
Roshing
is also subject to worker health and safety laws and regulations that may expose us to costs and liabilities, potentially affecting its
results of operations, competitive position, and financial condition adversely. These laws and regulations are stringent and comprehensive,
governing the health and safety of Roshing’s and workers of third-party shipping suppliers during operations. For further details,
please refer to the section titled “Regulations related to employment and labor protection” beginning on page 79.
Any of the
foregoing could disrupt Roshing’s logistics services, cause us to incur substantial expenses and divert the time and attention of
our management. Roshing may face claims and incur significant liabilities if found liable or partially liable for any injuries, damages
or losses. Any uninsured or underinsured loss could negatively influence our business and financial condition. Governmental authorities
may also impose significant fines on us or require us to adopt costly preventive measures. Furthermore, if Roshing’s logistics services
are perceived to be insecure or unsafe by its customers, its business volume may be significantly reduced, and our business, financial
condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Roshing is subject to potential risks
arising from contractual obligations with shipping suppliers.
Roshing’s
contractual obligations with shipping suppliers encompass precise terms and conditions. Should either party fail to uphold these provisions,
it may result in legal disputes, financial penalties, and interruptions in service. These breaches, whether initiated by us or the shipping
suppliers, pose potential risks to the continuity and efficiency of Roshing’s operations. Adhering to the terms outlined in these
agreements is important to maintaining positive relationships with Roshing’s partners and ensuring the operation of Roshing’s
shipping activities and logistics services.
Roshing faces risks
from changing customer logistics needs, contractual obligations, and failure to meet customer requirements, which could lead to financial
losses, legal liabilities, and damage to Roshing’s reputation if not managed proactively.
Roshing’s
customers’ logistics needs are subject to constant change, influenced by market trends, technological advancements, and shifts in
consumer behavior. Failure to adapt to these evolving demands could lead to significant business losses. Moreover, Roshing’s contractual
obligations entail meeting specific performance standards, and any failure to do so may result in liability claims, financial setbacks,
and damage to its reputation. Ensuring the fulfillment of all customer requirements, including adherence to delivery schedules, maintenance
of cargo conditions, and compliance with regulatory standards, is paramount. Any lapses in meeting these requirements could not only result
in lost business opportunities but also expose us to potential legal liabilities. Therefore, proactive measures to address these customer-related
risks are essential for maintaining Roshing’s competitive edge and safeguarding its operations.
Our revenues, operating income and cash
flows are likely to fluctuate and are subject to uncertainty and potential volatility in demand and supply for cargo space and container
loads from time to time.
Roshing charters cargo space and container loads
from shipping suppliers based on a certain volume and then sub-charters that space to our customers under an order contract. Roshing obtains
cargo space and container loads through direct booking and block space arrangements. Pursuant to the block space agreements, it is committed
to paying for the agreed cargo space and container loads irrespective of whether it could fully utilize the allotted space. In the event
it cannot fully utilize the cargo space and container loads it sourced (i.e. the actual customers’ demand for the cargo space and
container loads is less than the amount of cargo space and container loads it sourced), Roshing has to sell excess cargo space and container
loads. Roshing however cannot assure that there will not be instances where, for example, due to (a) departure timetable of the vessel;
(b) popularity of the route; or (c) seasonality factors, it is unable to fully consolidate/co-load all the excess cargo space and container
loads it purchased from our suppliers. In case Roshing cannot fully utilize the cargo space and container loads it obtained from its suppliers,
Roshing may have to bear the costs of all the excess cargo space and container loads it purchased and its business and results of operations
could be adversely affected.
In the event of shortfall of the cargo space and
container loads to meet customers’ demand (i.e. the actual customers’ demand for the cargo space and container loads are higher
than the amount that Roshing has), Roshing has to source the cargo space and container loads from its suppliers at the prevailing market
rates. Since cargo space and container loads offered by Roshing’s suppliers through direct booking is normally on a first-come-first-served
basis, with no formal agreement for guaranteed supply of cargo space and container loads, there is no assurance that Roshing will be able
to source sufficient cargo space and container loads to meet its customers’ demand within the expected timeframe and at favorable
price. As a result of the shortfall of cargo space and container loads, its reputation and therefore its business, sales performance and
results of operations will be adversely affected.
In result, we may experience fluctuations in our
revenues and cost structure and the resulting operating income and cash flows and expect that this will continue to occur in the future.
We may experience fluctuations in our financial results, including revenues, operating income and earnings per share, for reasons that
may include: (i) the types and complexity, number, size, timing and duration of client engagements; (ii) the timing of revenue recognition
under U.S. GAAP; (iii) the utilization of revenue-generating professionals, including the ability to adjust staffing levels up or down
to accommodate the business and prospects of the applicable segment and practice; (iv) the geographic locations of our clients or the
locations where services are rendered; (v) the length of billing and collection cycles and changes in amounts that may become uncollectible;
(vi) changes in the frequency and complexity of government regulatory and enforcement activities; (vii) business and asset acquisitions;
(viii) fluctuations in the exchange rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar; (ix) fee adjustments upon the renewal of expired
service contracts or acceptance of new clients due to the adjusted scope per our refined business strategy; and (x) economic factors beyond
our control.
The results of different segments and practices
may be affected differently by the above factors. The positive effects of certain events or factors on certain segments and practices
may not be sufficient to overcome the negative effects of those same events or factors on other parts of our business. In addition, our
mix of practice offerings adds complexity to the task of predicting revenues and results of operations and managing our staffing levels
and expenditures across changing business cycles and economic environments.
Our results are influenced by seasonal and
similar factors. Although we evaluate our annual guidance at the end of each quarter and adjust it as necessary, unforeseen future volatility
can lead to significant deviations from our guidance. This may occur even if our guidance encompasses a range of potential outcomes and
has been updated to consider operating results.
Seasonality and the impact of weather and
other catastrophic events adversely affect Roshing’s operations and profitability.
Roshing’s operation is influenced by seasonal
factors, with February to April being off-peak seasons, and June to October being peak seasons. Roshing’s operation is affected
by the winter season because inclement weather impedes operations, and some shippers reduce their shipments during winter. In addition,
in the lead-up to major holidays such as Christmas and Chinese Spring Festival, increased consumer demand often leads to a short-term
surge in cargo transportation volume. Conversely, in the later stages of holidays and traditional off-peak seasons, cargo transportation
volume may significantly decrease. At the same time, operating expenses increase due to, among other things, a decline in fuel efficiency
because of engine idling and harsh weather that creates higher accident frequency, increased claims and higher equipment repair expenditures.
Roshing also may suffers from weather-related or other events, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms, floods, fires, earthquakes
and explosions, which may disrupt fuel supplies, increase fuel costs, disrupt freight shipments or routes, affect regional economies,
destroy its assets or the assets of its customers or otherwise adversely affect the business or financial condition of Roshing’s
customers, any of which developments could adversely affect its results or make its results more volatile.
Risk Related to Other Products & Services
Roshing has a great dependence on a limited number of suppliers
and the loss of their manufacturing capability could materially impact on its operations.
Roshing is a distributor of hardware components for
electronic devices and generates revenue from reselling these components and is not engaged in innovative product development and direct
manufacturing business. Roshing markets off-the-shelf products, which ships directly from the manufacturer to Roshing’s customer.
In the event that the supply of components or finished products is interrupted or relations with any of its principal vendors is terminated,
there could be increased costs and considerable delay in finding suitable replacement sources to manufacture the electronic device hardware
components products (“Hardware Products”). Its Hardware Products mostly are shipped from facilities located in Guangdong,
China. The shipment of these products from Mainland China exposes us to the possibility of product supply disruption and increased costs
in the event of changes in the economics condition of China.
Defects in the Hardware Products Roshing
sells or failures in quality control related to its distribution of products could impair its ability to sell its products or could result
in product liability claims, litigation and other significant events involving substantial costs.
The detection of significant
defects in Roshing’s Hardware Products or failures in its quality control procedures, including those of its suppliers, carries
several potential consequences. These include delays in bringing products to market, decreased sales, and challenges in gaining market
acceptance. Furthermore, such issues may lead to the diversion of its development resources and damage to its reputation, with potential
regulatory restrictions. Rectifying product defects can incur substantial costs, and identifying suitable remedies may prove difficult.
Moreover, errors or defects could result in financial damage to its customers, potentially leading to litigation. Product liability lawsuits,
regardless of the outcome, may entail significant time and expenses for defense. In the absence of product liability insurance and without
being named insured on its suppliers’ policies, Roshing faces the risk of being unable to cover claims or seek reimbursement from
suppliers, leaving us potentially exposed to financial liabilities.
The software and website development markets are highly competitive.
The management software and website development industries
are highly competitive. There are a number of larger companies, including computer manufacturers, computer service and software companies
that have greater operational, personnel and financial resources than we have. These companies currently offer and have the technological
ability to develop software products similar to those offered by us. These companies present a significant competitive challenge to Roshing’s
business. Because we do not have the same financial resources as these competitors, we may have a difficult time in the future competing
with these companies. We compete based on its fright shipping and logistics knowledge, products, service, price, system functionality
and performance and technological advances. Customized and special services according to customer needs, there is technical weakness.
The industry in which Roshing operates has low
barriers to entry and is highly fragmented and very competitive. We anticipate that competition may intensify further as the freight software
industry matures and consolidates. Roshing’s key strength lies in providing tailored services to wholesalers, e-commerce retailers
and freight forwarders in market segments that share the value of Roshing’s technology. These services facilitate the management
of complex workflows and improve efficiency by enabling shipping workflow management, Marine container management, e-commerce inventory
and shipping management, and logistics data analytics. However, we cannot guarantee continuous improvement in technology and services.
Roshing’s software and website
may not perform in line with customer specifications or expectations.
Roshing’s freight
shipping and related logistic software and websites may not perform in line with customers’ expectations. Future customers may also
require customized specifications that Roshing is unable to deliver. Some of these target specifications, such as those dependent on battery
technology, are constrained by the pace of general technological advancement and the capabilities of its suppliers, which are largely
beyond its control.
Roshing’s software
and website may contain design or manufacturing defects that result in unsatisfactory performance or require repair. Roshing’s software
and website use a substantial amount of algorithms and software to operate. Software products are inherently complex and often contain
defects and errors, especially when first introduced. While Roshing have performed extensive internal testing on its software and website,
we have a limited frame of reference by which to evaluate the long-term performance of its software and website. There can be no assurance
that Roshing will be able to detect and fix any defects in its software and website before we sell products and services to customers.
If Roshing’s software
and website is defective or otherwise fails to perform as expected or in accordance with prescribed technical specifications and timetable,
its customers may experience accidents and suffer adverse publicity, revenue declines, ecommerce inventory disarray, breakdown of shipping
workflows, product liability claims, and significant additional expenses. These consequences could have a material adverse impact on its
business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects.
Additionally, Roshing’s software, along with
that of our third-party service provider, containing personal information of software customers, and others, could be breached, exposing
us to adverse publicity, costly government enforcement actions or private litigation, and expenses. Cyber criminals constantly devise
schemes to bypass IT security safeguards, and other retailers have experienced severe data breaches. Roshing may not anticipate all security
threats or implement preventive measures against them effectively. The costs to mitigate network security issues could be significant,
and while Roshing implemented security measures, addressing these issues may not always succeed. Unauthorized access to Roshing’s
networks or databases could result in theft, publication, deletion, modification, or blocking of sensitive information, adversely affecting
our business strategy, financial condition, or operations. While Roshing has not experienced cybersecurity incidents in the past three
years, we anticipate threats to persist and cannot assure such events will not occur or have material impacts on Roshing’s operations,
results of operations and financial condition in the future.
If Roshing does not continually update its
products and/or services, they may become obsolete and Roshing may not be able to compete with other companies.
Roshing cannot assure that it will be able to
keep pace with technological advances, or that its current suppliers will be able to keep pace with technological advances and as such,
its products and/or services may become obsolete. Roshing cannot assure you that competitors will not develop related or similar services
and offer them before Roshing does, or does so more successfully, or that they will not develop services and products more effective than
any that Roshing and/or its suppliers have or are intending to develop. In addition, although Roshing may be able to identify new suppliers
that can provide more effective services and products to be more competitive, Roshing may not be able to arrange satisfactory arrangements
in a timely manner, if at all. If that happens, its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition will be materially
adversely affected.
Roshing may not be able to continue
to recruit, train and retain dedicated and qualified consultants who are essential to the success of its business and the effective delivery
of policy and business advisory services to its individual and corporate clients.
Roshing’s current
talent policy advisory and application services rely heavily on Roshing’s visa consultants, and the conduct of Roshing’s
visa consultants is critical to maintaining its reputation. Roshing seeks to hire qualified and dedicated consultants who have the necessary
experience to provide effective advice and guidance to its clients in accordance with government policies and business management expertise
and experience. The number of consultants with these qualities is limited and Roshing needs to implement a highly selective recruitment
process.
A decline in the
market for individual clients of Roshing’s business consulting services and corporate business consulting could have
a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
There is an anticipation
of potential Hong Kong talent introduction policy revisions or the cessation of policy benefits after the second half of 2024, which may
lead to a reduction or cessation of its consulting services for talent clients. Additionally, fluctuations in Hong Kong’s global business
attractiveness or other factors may impact the number of enterprises establishing business activities in Hong Kong, potentially slowing
business demand and affecting the growth of consulting enterprises we serve. Consequently, Roshing’s business, prospects, financial
condition, and operating results may be significantly and adversely affected.
General Business Risks
We have a limited operating history
and face significant challenges and will incur substantial expenses as we build our capabilities.
We have a limited operating
history and are subject to the risks inherent in a growing company, including, among other things, risks that we may not be able to hire
sufficient qualified personnel and establish operating controls and procedures. The company relies on few trained internal personnel as
the company only has 14 full time employees As we build our own capabilities, we expect to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently
experienced by growing companies in new and rapidly evolving fields, including the risks and uncertainties described herein. If we are
unable to build our own capabilities, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, and our business
could suffer.
We are currently dependent on a small
group of customers for most of our revenue. If we cannot expand our customer base many-fold, our business growth will be challenged and
affected, resulting in adjustments to our business strategy.
As
we have not achieved significant scale, we had and expect to continue to have customer concentration. The
revenue generated to date by our business has come from a small number of customers. During the year ended July 31, 2022, five customers
were responsible for over 95% of our revenue. During the year ended July 31, 2023, two customers were responsible for over 52% of our
revenue. In order for Tianci to be viable as a public company, we must increase our revenue. To accomplish that, we must expand our customer
base. If we fail to multiply our customers, Tianci’s stock may have no significant value. There
are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of revenues are concentrated with a limited number of customers. We are unable to predict
the future level of demand for our services that will be generated by these customers. In addition, we cannot assure that any
of our customers in the future will not cease purchasing logistics services from us, or that our cooperating agents will continue introducing
clients to us. Should they favor logistics services from our competitors, significantly reduce orders, or seek price reductions in the
future, any such event could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, and results of operations.
We rely on shipping
suppliers, cargo owner and cargo agents and Hardware Products suppliers, if they become financially unstable or have reduced capacity
to provide services because of pandemics, such as COVID-19, it may adversely impact our business and operating results.
We depend on
shipping suppliers, cargo owners, cargo agents, and hardware products suppliers. The quality and profitability of our services and
business depend on the effective selection and oversight of these partners. Pandemics, such as COVID-19 have ever placed
significant stress on our shipping suppliers, cargo owners, cargo agents, and hardware products suppliers, which may continue to
result in reduced carrier capacity or availability, pricing volatility or more limited carrier transportation schedules which could
adversely impact our operations and financial results. During the pandemic, air carriers have been particularly affected having to
cancel freights due to travel restrictions resulting in dramatic drops in revenues, historical losses and liquidity challenges.
Uncertainty over recovery of demand for passenger air travel, in particular business travel, to pre-pandemic levels means ship
carriers’ operations and financial stability may be adversely affected long term.
Our business could be negatively affected by rising inflation
and interest rates.
Various macroeconomic factors could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including changes in inflation, interest rates and overall economic
conditions and uncertainties such as those resulting from the current and future conditions in the global financial markets.
For instance, recent inflationary environment
has negatively impacted us by slightly increasing (i) our labor costs, through higher wages, (ii) our borrowing costs, through higher
interest rates which we expect to continue to increase, and (iii) our other operating costs, such as through higher rates charged by our
service suppliers. Supply chain constraints have led to higher inflation, which if sustained, could have a negative impact on our operations.
To moderate effects of these increasing costs, we instituted proactive initiatives to optimize efficiencies in our daily operations. We
also replaced certain service suppliers with alternatives that offered more competitive rates while not compromising service quality.
In addition, we expect to modestly increase the rates we charge our customers in response to the inflationary environment should such
inflationary pressures further deteriorate in the near future. However, we cannot assure you that these measures we have taken or will
take will be effective, if at all, or that we will be able to effectively mitigate any inflationary pressures in the future. If inflation
or interest rates were to significantly increase, our business and the results of operations may be negatively affected.
Interest rates, liquidity of credit markets and
volatility of capital markets could also affect our business and results of operations as well as our ability to raise capital on favorable
terms, or at all.
If we are unable
to hire, retain or motivate qualified personnel, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors, we may not be able to grow effectively.
Our performance will
be largely dependent on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals that we attract to our company. Our future success depends
on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified personnel for all areas of our organization:
technological as well as entrepreneurial. Competition for such qualified employees is intense. If we do not succeed in attracting competent
personnel or in retaining or motivating them, we may be unable to grow effectively. In addition, our future success depends largely on
our ability to retain key consultants and advisors. Our inability to retain their services could negatively impact our business and our
ability to execute our business strategy.
The Company and
its subsidiaries do not presently maintain fire, theft, product liability or any other property insurance, which leaves us with exposure
in the event of loss or damage to our properties or claims filed against us.
The Company and its subsidiaries
do not maintain fire, theft, product liability or property insurance of any kind. The company and its subsidiaries bear the economic risk
with respect to loss of or damage or destruction to our property and to the interruption of our business, as well as liability to third
parties for damage or destruction to them or their property that may be caused by our personnel or products. Such liability could be substantial
and the occurrence of such loss or liability may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.
Our operating history
may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results and we may not be able to sustain our historical growth rates.
Our operating history
may not be indicative of our future growth or financial results. There is no assurance that we will be able to grow in future periods.
Our growth rates may decline for any number of possible reasons and some of them are beyond our control, including decreasing customer
demand, increasing competition, declining growth of the touchscreen industry in general, emergence of alternative business models, or
changes in government policies or general economic conditions. We will continue to expand our sales network and product offerings to bring
greater convenience to our customers and to increase our customer base and number of transactions. However, the execution of our expansion
plan is subject to uncertainty and the total number of items sold and number of transacting customers may not grow at the rate we expect
for the reasons stated above. If our growth rates decline, investors’ perceptions of our business and prospects may be adversely
affected and the market price of our common stock could decline.
We incur
significant costs and demands upon management and accounting and finance resources as a result of complying with the laws and
regulations affecting public companies. If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce
accurate and timely financial statements and otherwise make timely and accurate public disclosure could be impaired, which could
harm our operating results, our ability to operate our business and our reputation.
Our management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules
and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation
was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms as a
result of the following material weaknesses:
|
· |
Because of the Company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing. |
|
|
|
|
· |
There is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. The Company’s management is limited in number, resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will reassess this matter in the following year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible. |
|
|
|
|
· |
The Company does not have a sitting audit committee financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process. |
|
|
|
|
· |
There is a lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions. The Company utilizes a third-party independent contractor for the preparation of its financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third-party independent contractor is not involved in the day to day operations of the Company and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting/consideration of certain transactions. |
As of the
date of this prospectus, we have established an audit committee with a designated financial expert. We maintain board oversight of the
financial reporting process and has implemented internal policies to review significant accounting transactions, including The Review
Policy for Related Party Transactions. Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate
the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is
committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
If our internal control
over financial reporting or our disclosure controls are not effective, we may be unable to issue our financial statements in a timely
manner, we may be unable to obtain the required audit or review of our financial statements by our independent registered public accounting
firm in a timely manner or we may be otherwise unable to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the SEC, our common stock
intended to be listed on Nasdaq could be suspended or terminated and our share price could materially suffer. In addition, we or members
of our management could be subject to investigation and sanction by the SEC and other regulatory authorities and to shareholder lawsuits,
which could impose significant additional costs on us and divert management attention.
We may fail to make necessary acquisitions
or investments or enter desirable strategic alliances, and we may not be able to achieve the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions,
investments or strategic alliances.
Our
strategy for long-term growth, productivity and profitability depends in part on our ability to make prudent decisions
to make strategic acquisitions or investments or enter desirable alliances and to realize the benefits we expect when we make those investments
or acquisitions. We may evaluate and consider strategic acquisitions and investments or enter strategic alliances to develop new services
or solutions, with an aim to enhance our competitive position and achieve long-term growth, productivity and profitability. However,
we cannot assure you that we will make prudent decisions on such acquisitions, investments, strategic alliances at all times. In addition,
investments or acquisitions involve numerous risks, including (i) potential failure to achieve the expected benefits of the integration
or acquisition, (ii) difficulties in, and the cost of, integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel, (iii) potential
write-offs of acquired assets or investments and (iv) downward effect on our operating results. These transactions will also
divert management’s time and resources from our normal course of operations, and we may have to incur unexpected liabilities or
expenses. Strategic alliances with third parties could also subject us to a number of risks, including risks associated with potential
leakage of proprietary information, non-performance by the counterparty and an increase in expenses incurred in establishing new
strategic alliances, any of which may materially and adversely affect our business.
If we cannot successfully execute or effectively
operate, integrate, leverage and grow the acquired businesses or strategic alliances, our financial results and reputation may be materially
and adversely affected. While we expect our future acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances to further enhance our value propositions
to customers and improve our long-term profitability, there can be no assurance that we will realize our expectations within the
time frame we envisage, if at all, or that we can continue to support the values we allocate to these acquired, invested or alliance businesses,
including their goodwill or other intangible assets.
We may not be able
to prevent others from unauthorized use of our intellectual property, which could harm our business and competitive position.
We may become an attractive
target for intellectual property attacks in the future with the increasing recognition of our brand. Any of our intellectual property
rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented or misappropriated, or such intellectual property may not be sufficient to provide
us with competitive advantages. In addition, there can be no assurance that (i) all of our intellectual property rights will be adequately
protected, or (ii) our intellectual property rights will not be challenged by third parties or found by a judicial authority to be invalid
or unenforceable. As of the date of the prospectus, we have only two domain names: roshing.com and tianci-ciit.com. We have not owned
or had rights to any other intellectual property, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, etc.
We are a
“smaller reporting company” under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and we cannot be certain if the
scaled disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors and
make it more difficult to raise capital as and when we need it.
We may continue to be
a smaller reporting company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will
be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as (a) the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates is
equal to or less than $250 million as of the last business day of the most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (b) our annual
revenues is equal to or less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our common stock
held by non-affiliates is equal to or less than $700 million as of the last business day of the most recently completed second fiscal
quarter.
We cannot predict if
investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock
less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, taking advantage of reduced disclosure obligations may make the comparison of our financial statements with other public
companies difficult or impossible. If investors are unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry, we may not be
able to raise additional capital as and when we need it, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results
of operations.
Anti-takeover provisions
contained in our bylaws and articles
of incorporation as well as provisions of Nevada law, could impair a takeover attempt.
Our bylaws, amended articles of incorporation and Nevada law
contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable
by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:
| · | limiting
the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers; |
| · | limiting
the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings; |
| · | controlling
the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings; |
| · | providing
our board of directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled annual meetings; |
| · | the
removal of directors only upon vote or written consent of stockholders representing not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the issued
and outstanding capital stock entitled to voting power; and |
| · | The
approval to adopt a new bylaw upon a majority vote of stockholders. The Board shall have the power to amend, alter, change, or repeal
any provision contained in the bylaws of incorporation. |
These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile
takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.
The Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Sections 78.411 through
78.444, regulate business combinations with interested stockholders. The NRS defines an interested stockholder as a beneficial owner (directly
or indirectly) of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the corporation. Pursuant to NRS Sections 78.411 through
78.444, combinations with an interested stockholder remain prohibited for two years after the person became an interested stockholder
unless (i) the transaction is approved by the board of directors or the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares not beneficially
owned by the interested party, or (ii) the interested stockholder satisfies certain fair value requirements. NRS 78.434 permits a
Nevada corporation to opt out of the statute with appropriate provisions in its articles of incorporation.
NRS Sections
78.378 through 78.3793 regulates the acquisition of a controlling interest in an issuing corporation. An issuing corporation is defined
as a Nevada corporation with 200 or more stockholders of record, of which at least 100 stockholders have addresses of record in Nevada
and does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. NRS Section 78.379 provides that an acquiring person and
those acting in association with an acquiring person obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution
of the stockholders of the corporation, approved at a special or annual meeting of the stockholders. Stockholders who vote against the
voting rights have dissenters’ rights in the event that the stockholders approve voting rights. NRS Section 78.378 provides
that a Nevada corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws may provide that these sections do not apply to the corporation.
Any
damage to the reputation and recognition of our brand names, including negative publicity against us, our services, operations and our
directors, senior management and business partners may materially and adversely affect our business operations and prospects.
We believe our brand image and corporate reputation
will play an increasingly important role in enhancing our competitiveness and maintaining business growth. Many factors, some of which
are beyond our control, may negatively impact our brand image and corporate reputation if not properly managed. These factors include
our ability to provide superior solutions and services to our customers, successfully conduct marketing and promotional activities, manage
relationship with and among our customers and business partners, and manage complaints and events of negative publicity, maintain positive
perception of our Company, our peers and supply chain solution industry in general. Any actual or perceived deterioration of our service
quality, which is based on an array of factors including customer satisfaction, rate of complaint or rate of incident, could subject us
to damages such as loss of important customers. Any negative publicity against us, our solutions and services, operations, directors,
senior management, employees, business partners or our peers could adversely affect customer perception of our brand, cause damages to
our corporate reputation and result in decreased demand for our solutions and services. If we are unable to promote our brand image and
protect our corporate reputation, we may not be able to maintain and grow our customer base, and our business and growth prospects may
be adversely affected.
We may from time to time be subject to claims,
disputes, lawsuits and other legal and administrative proceedings.
We and our management may be subject to claims,
disputes, lawsuits, investigations and other legal and administrative proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business from time
to time. We are currently not party to any legal or arbitration proceedings, including those relating to bankruptcy, receivership or similar
proceedings and those involving any third party, which may have, or have had in the recent past, material adverse effects on our financial
position or profitability. Any claims against us or our management, with or without merit, could be time-consuming and costly to defend
or litigate, divert our management’s attention and resources or harm our brand equity. Claims arising out of actual or alleged violations
of law, breach of contract or torts could be asserted against us by customers, business partners, suppliers, competitors, employees or
governmental entities in investigations and legal proceedings. These claims could be asserted under a variety of laws, including but not
limited to intellectual property laws, labor and employment laws, securities laws, tort laws, contract laws, property laws, and employee
benefit laws. If a lawsuit or governmental proceeding against us is successful, we may be required to pay substantial damages or fines.
We may also lose, or be limited in, the rights to offer some of our services. As a result, the scope of our services could be reduced,
which could adversely affect our ability to attract new customers, harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Even if we are successful in our attempt to defend ourselves in legal and administrative
actions or to assert our rights under various laws, enforcing our rights against the various parties involved may be expensive, time-consuming,
and ultimately futile.
We may engage in transactions that present
conflicts of interest.
The Company’s officers and directors may
enter into agreements with the Company from time to time which may not be equivalent to similar transactions entered into with an independent
third party. A conflict of interest arises whenever a person has an interest on both sides of a transaction. While we believe that it
will take prudent steps to ensure that all transactions between the Company and any officer or director is fair, reasonable, and no more
than the amount it would otherwise pay to a third party in an “arms-length” transaction, there can be no assurance that any
transaction will meet these requirements in every instance.
We may adjust our business strategies and
models in response to changing market conditions, competitive pressures, or regulatory changes. However, there is no guarantee that these
adjustments will be successful, and they may not achieve the desired results, potentially impacting our performance and financial results.
As changes in our
business environment occur, we may adjust our business strategies to meet these changes, or we may otherwise decide to restructure
our operations or businesses or assets. In addition, external events such as shifts in demographics, alterations in consumer behavior,
fluctuations in macroeconomic conditions, and amendments to laws, regulations, and government policies governing international trade
and commerce may impair the value of our assets and increase our costs. When these changes or events occur, we may incur costs to modify
our business strategy to respond to those market dynamics and satisfactorily meet customers’ demands. To meet customer demand and
implement our strategies and expansion plan, we may shift to a Vessel-Operating Common Carrier. This shift aims to achieve cost efficiency
by reducing transportation costs, as owning and operating vessels can decrease dependency on third-party shipping companies, potentially
lowering transportation costs over time. Additionally, operating our own vessels can also provide a competitive advantage over companies
that rely on third-party carriers. However, this transition may result in significant expenses for the purchase of vessels and related
infrastructure necessary for our business growth. Such initiatives and enhancements may require substantial capital expenditures. If
we are unable to successfully implement our business strategies and effectively respond to changes in market dynamics, our future financial
results will suffer. Furthermore, we have incurred, and may continue to incur, increased operating expenses in connection with certain
changes to our business strategies.
Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong
Kong
All our operations are in Hong Kong.
However, due to the long arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, the Chinese government may exercise significant oversight
and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a
material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock.
Tianci is a holding company and we conduct our
operation through our operating subsidiary Roshing in Hong Kong. Our operations are primarily located in Hong Kong and few of our clients
are Mainland China residents. At the present time, we are not materially affected by 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.
However, due to long arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, there remains regulatory uncertainty with respect to
the implementation of Chinese law in Hong Kong. The PRC government may choose to exercise significant oversight and discretion, and the
policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the Chinese government to which we are subject may change rapidly and with
little advance notice to us or our stockholders. These laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied inconsistently by different
agencies or authorities, and inconsistently with our current policies and practices. New laws, regulations, and other government directives
in the PRC may also be costly to comply with.
We are aware that recently the PRC
government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in Mainland
China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over
China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of
cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Since these statements and regulatory actions
are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or
new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential
impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign
investments and list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange.
China’s government may intervene or influence
our operations at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment, which may result in a material
change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock. The promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the new interpretation
of existing laws and regulations, in each case that restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or way we conduct our business
and could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand for our services, reduce
revenues, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject us to additional liabilities.
To the extent any new or more stringent measures are required to be implemented, our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be adversely affected as well as materially decrease the value of our common stock.
We will rely on
dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Hong Kong subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have.
In the future, the PRC government may impose restrictions on our ability to transfer funds out of Hong Kong to fund operations or for
other use outside of Hong Kong. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiary to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect
on our ability to conduct our business and might materially decrease the value of our common stock.
We are a holding company
incorporated in the United States, and we rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiary in Hong Kong for
our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our stockholders and
service any debt we may incur. If our subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict
its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.
Under the current practice
of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by Roshing. The PRC
laws and regulations do not currently have any material impact on transfers of cash from Roshing to Tianci or from Tianci to Roshing.
However, the Chinese government may, in the future, impose restrictions or limitations on our ability to transfer money out of Hong Kong,
to distribute earnings and pay dividends to and from the other entities within our organization, or to reinvest in our business outside
of Hong Kong. Such restrictions and limitations, if imposed in the future, may delay or hinder the expansion of our business to outside
of Hong Kong and may affect our ability to receive funds from our operating subsidiary in Hong Kong. The promulgation of new laws or regulations,
or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in each case, that restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or
way we conduct our business, could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand
for our services, reduce revenues, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject
us to additional liabilities. To the extent any new or more stringent measures are implemented, our business, financial condition and
results of operations could be adversely affected and such measured could materially decrease the value of our common stock.
Changes in international
trade policies, trade disputes, barriers to trade, or the emergence of a trade war may dampen growth in Hong Kong, China and other markets
where the majority of our clients reside.
Political events, international
trade disputes, and other business interruptions could harm or disrupt international commerce and the global economy, and could have a
material adverse effect on us and our customers, service providers, and other partners. International trade disputes could result in tariffs
and other protectionist measures which may materially and adversely affect our business.
Tariffs could increase
the cost of the goods and products which could affect customers’ investment decisions. In addition, political uncertainty surrounding
international trade disputes and the potential of the escalation to a trade war could have a negative effect on customer confidence, which
could materially and adversely affect our business. We may also have access to fewer business opportunities, and our operations may be
negatively impacted as a result. In addition, the current and future actions or escalations by either the United States or China that
affect trade relations may cause global economic turmoil and potentially have a negative impact on our markets, our business, or our results
of operations, as well as the financial condition of our customers, and we cannot provide any assurances as to whether such actions will
occur or the form that they may take.
Under the Basic Law of
the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong has 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”,
while the government of the PRC is responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. As a separate customs territory, Hong Kong maintains
and develops relations with foreign states and regions. However, based on recent political development, the U.S. State Department has
indicated that the United States no longer considers Hong Kong to have significant autonomy from China. Hong Kong’s preferential
trade status was removed by the United States government and the United States may impose the same tariffs and other trade restrictions
on exports from Hong Kong that it places on goods from Mainland China. These and other recent actions may represent an escalation in political
and trade tensions involving the U.S, China and Hong Kong, which could potentially harm our business.
The enactment of
Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “Hong Kong National Security
Law”) could impact our Hong Kong subsidiary.
On June 30, 2020, the
Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress adopted the Hong Kong National Security Law. This law defines the duties
and government bodies of the Hong Kong National Security Law for safeguarding national security and four categories of offences — secession,
subversion, terrorist activities, and collusion with a foreign or overseas force to endanger national security — and
their corresponding penalties. On July 14, 2020, the former U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act (the “HKAA”)
into law, authorizing the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have
materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. On August 7, 2020, the U.S. government imposed HKAA-authorized sanctions
on eleven individuals, including former and current Hong Kong chief executives Carrie Lam and John Lee. On October 14, 2020, the U.S.
State Department submitted to relevant committees of Congress the report required under HKAA, identifying persons materially contributing
to “the failure of the Government of China to meet its obligations under the Joint Declaration or the Basic Law.” The HKAA
further authorizes secondary sanctions, including the imposition of blocking sanctions, against foreign financial institutions that knowingly
conduct a significant transaction with foreign persons sanctioned under this authority. The imposition of sanctions may directly affect
the foreign financial institutions as well as any third parties or customers dealing with any foreign financial institution that is targeted.
It is difficult to predict the full impact of the Hong Kong National Security Law and HKAA on Hong Kong and companies located in Hong
Kong. If our Hong Kong subsidiary is determined to be in violation of the Hong Kong National Security Law or the HKAA by competent authorities,
our business operations, financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
There are political
risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong.
Substantially all our
operations are based in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business operations and financial condition will be affected by the political and
legal developments in Hong Kong. During the period covered by the financial information included in this prospectus, we derive substantially
all of our revenue from operations in Hong Kong. Any adverse economic, social and/or political conditions, material social unrest, strike,
riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters, may adversely affect our business 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”. 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.
Since a substantial part of our operations is based in Hong Kong, any change of such political arrangements may pose an immediate threat
to the stability of the economy in Hong Kong, thereby directly and adversely affecting our results of operations and financial position.
If the PRC attempts to
alter its agreement to allow Hong Kong to function autonomously, this could potentially impact Hong Kong’s common law legal system
and may in turn bring about uncertainty in, for example, the enforcement of our contractual rights. This could, in turn, materially and
adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Hong Kong
may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in
the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof,
or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including
our ability to enforce our agreements with our customers.
Our revenue is susceptible
to the ongoing incidents or factors which affect the stability of the social, economic and political conditions in Hong Kong. Any drastic
events may adversely affect our business operations. Such adverse events may include changes in economic conditions and regulatory environment,
social and/or political conditions, civil disturbance or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters. Given the relatively
small geographical size of Hong Kong, any of such incidents may have a widespread effect on our business operations, which could in turn
adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. It is difficult to predict the full impact
of the HKAA on Hong Kong and companies with operations in Hong Kong like us. Furthermore, legislative or administrative actions in respect
of China-U.S. relations could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including us, and the market price of our shares could
be adversely affected.
Recent joint statement
by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq,
and the newly enacted Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging
market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB.
These developments could add uncertainties to the trading of our common stock on U.S. stock exchanges, including the possibility that
our securities can be delisted if the PCAOB cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.
On April 21, 2020, the
SEC Chairman and PCAOB Chairman, along with other senior SEC staff, released a joint statement highlighting the risks associated with
investing in companies based in or have substantial operations in emerging markets including China. The joint statement emphasized the
risks associated with lack of access for the PCAOB to inspect auditors and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in emerging
markets.
On May 18, 2020, Nasdaq
filed three proposals with the SEC to (1) apply minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating in “Restrictive
Market,” (2) adopt a new requirement relating to the qualification of management or board of director for Restrictive Market companies,
and (3) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the qualifications of the Company’s
auditor.
On June 4, 2020, the
U.S. President issued a memorandum ordering the President’s working group on financial markets to submit a report to the President
within 60 days of the date of the memorandum that should include recommendations for actions that can be taken by the executive branch
and by the SEC or PCAOB to enforce U.S. regulatory requirements on Chinese companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges and their audit firms.
However, it remains unclear what further actions, if any, the U.S. executive branch, the SEC, and PCAOB will take to address the problem.
On August 6, 2020, the
President’s working group released a report recommending that the SEC take steps to implement the five recommendations outlined
in the report. In particular, to address companies from jurisdictions that do not provide the PCAOB with sufficient access to fulfill
its statutory mandate, the President’s working group recommended enhanced listing standards on U.S. stock exchanges. This would
require, as a condition to initial and continued exchange listing, PCAOB access to the work papers of the principal audit firm for the
audit of the listed company. Companies unable to satisfy this standard as a result of governmental restrictions on access to audit work
papers and practices in their jurisdiction may satisfy this standard by providing a co-audit from an audit firm with comparable resources
and experience where the PCAOB determines it has sufficient access to audit work papers and practices to conduct an appropriate inspection
of the co-audit firm. The report permits the new listing standards to provide for a transition period until January 1, 2022, for listed
companies, but would apply immediately to new listings once the necessary rulemakings and/or standard-setting are effective.
On August 10, 2020, the
SEC announced that the SEC Chairman had directed the SEC staff to prepare proposals in response to the report of the President’s
working group, and that the SEC was soliciting public comments and information with respect to the development of these proposals.
On May 20, 2020, the
U.S. Senate passed the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the Act. The Act was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives
on December 2, 2020. On December 18, 2020, the Act was signed into public law by the President of the United States. In essence, the Act
requires the SEC to prohibit foreign companies from listing securities on U.S. securities exchanges if a company retains a foreign accounting
firm that cannot be inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive years, beginning in 2021. On March 24, 2021, the SEC announced that it
had adopted interim final amendments to implement congressionally mandated submission and disclosure requirements of the Act. The interim
final amendments will apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report on Forms 10-K, 20-F, 40-F or N-CSR
with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB has determined
it is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.
On June 22, 2021, the
U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and on December 29, 2022 the Accelerating Holding Foreign
Companies Accountable Act was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading
on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing
the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.
On December 2, 2021,
the SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act. The rules apply
to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting
firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a position
taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction.
On December 16, 2021,
the PCAOB issued a report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting
firms headquartered in China and in Hong Kong because of positions taken by PRC and Hong Kong authorities in those jurisdictions. The
PCAOB has made such designations as mandated under the HFCA Act. Pursuant to each annual determination by the PCAOB, the SEC will, on
an annual basis, identify issuers that have used non-inspected audit firms and thus are at risk of such suspensions in the future.
On August 26, 2022, the
SEC issued a statement announcing that the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (“SOP”) with the China Securities Regulatory
Commission, or CSRC, and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China governing inspections and investigations of audit
firms based in China and Hong Kong, jointly agreeing on the need for a framework.
On December 15, 2022,
the PCAOB announced that it has secured complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in
Mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate the previous Determination Report to the contrary.
Our auditor, Michael
T. Studer CPA P.C., the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report, as an auditor of companies that are
traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States, pursuant to which
the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor is headquartered
in Freeport, New York and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis.
The PCAOB is continuing
to demand complete access in Mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in
early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has
indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed. If the PCAOB in the
future again determines that it is unable to inspect and investigate completely auditors in Mainland China and Hong Kong, then the companies
audited by those auditors would be subject to a trading prohibition on U.S. markets pursuant to the HFCA Act and/or the AHFCAA. These
recent developments could also add uncertainties to this Underwritten Offering, and we cannot assure you that the NASDAQ Capital Market
or regulatory authorities would not apply additional or more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s
audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or
experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements.
Increases in labor
costs in Hong Kong and non-compliance with laws and regulations relating to employment and labor protection may adversely affect the business
of Roshing and our results of operations.
The economy in
Hong Kong has experienced increases in inflation and labor costs in recent years. As a result, average wages in Hong Kong are expected
to continue to increase. We expect that Roshing’s labor costs, including wages and employee benefits, will continue to increase.
Unless Roshing is able to control its labor costs or pass on these increased labor costs to its customers by increasing service fees,
our financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.
In
addition, where Roshing employs any employees, it is required by Hong Kong laws and regulations to maintain various statutory employee
benefits, including mandatory provident fund scheme and work-related injury insurance, to provide statutorily required paid sick leave,
annual leave and maternity leave, and make severance payments or long service payments. See “Regulations — Regulations
Related to our Business Operation in Hong Kong — Regulations related to employment and labor protection” for details.
The relevant government agencies may examine whether an employer has complied with such requirements, and those employers who fail to
comply commit a criminal offence and may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment. For example, under the Employees’ Compensation
Ordinance (Chapter 282 of the Laws of Hong Kong), an employer who fails to comply with the ordinance to secure an insurance cover commits
an offence and is liable on conviction upon indictment to a maximum fine of HK$100,000 (approximately US$13,000) and imprisonment for
two years. Under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (Chapter 485 of the Laws of Hong Kong), an employer who, without reasonable
excuse, fails to enroll employees in an MPF scheme pursuant to the ordinance commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine
of HK$350,000 (approximately US$45,000) and to imprisonment for three years. Therefore, failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations
concerning employment and labor protection by Roshing may result in material and adverse effect on Roshing’s business, our financial
condition and operating results. As of the date of this prospectus, we believe that Roshing is in compliance with applicable Hong Kong
laws and regulations concerning employment and labor protection in all material respects.
You may incur additional costs and procedural
obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or its management
named in the prospectus based on Hong Kong laws.
Currently, all of our
operations are conducted outside the United States, and all of our assets are located outside the United States. Some of our directors
and officers are Hong Kong nationals or residents. You may incur additional costs and procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal
process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or its management named in the prospectus. If you want
to enforce a judgment of the United States in Hong Kong, it must be a final judgment conclusive upon the merits of the claim, for a liquidated
amount in a civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges, the proceedings in which the judgment was
obtained were not contrary to natural justice, and the enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Hong Kong. Such
a judgment must be for a fixed sum and must also come from a “competent” court as determined by the private international
law rules applied by the Hong Kong courts.
Risks Related to Taxation
Non-compliance with tax obligations
may adversely affect our business and operation results.
On June 5, 2023, the
United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued a notice letter imposing penalties for failure to provide information
concerning certain foreign-owned U.S. Corporations for the tax period ending July 31, 2021, totaling $25,000. We promptly submitted a
request for penalty abatement within 30 days of receiving the notice, asserting that the late filing was not due to willful neglect. However,
as of now, we have not received any final decision from the IRS regarding their intended course of action. The total amount due now stands
at $26,426.55, inclusive of accrued interest and penalties calculated up to February 26, 2022. On April 25, 2024, the Company paid the
total amount of $26,854.68 to IRS by check.
On
March 11, 2024, the Company received a new notice letter with the IRS issued a notice imposing penalties for failure to file form
5471 under Internal Revenue Code Section 6038. The penalty amounts due by April 1, 2024, is $20,000. On
April 22, 2024, the Company received another notice from IRS of the intent of levy the company’s property or rights to property
for the Company’s failure to pay the penalty. The total penalty due now stands at $20,184.43, inclusive of accrued interest
and penalties calculated up to April 22, 2024. On April 22, 2024, we promptly submitted a
request for penalty abatement within 30 days of receiving the notice, asserting that the late filing was not due to willful neglect.
On
May 10, 2024, the company paid USD 20184.43 by check to IRS for the tax period ending July 31, 2023.
All late filings were
due to two main factors: a) the impact of the epidemic, resulting in our failure to report in a timely manner and subsequent payment of
fines. We have settled the fines, but we require details regarding the date, amount, and reasons for any new penalties arising from delayed
tax payments. b) The change of ownership in August 2021 led to numerous unresolved matters, compounded by various obstacles encountered
during the pandemic.
Up to May 10, 2024, we
have successfully filed tax returns for the years 2020 to 2022 and have duly remitted the two fines along with accrued interest via check.
The amount owed, encompassing principal and interest, was ascertained and settled upon the submission of the prospectus. In our future
operations, we will aim to pay taxes on time and as required. However, we cannot guarantee that the Company won’t make tax payment errors
in the future, which could affect our operations.
A change in tax
laws in any country in which we operate or loss of a major tax dispute or a successful tax challenge to our operating structure, intercompany
pricing policies or the taxable presence of our subsidiaries in certain countries could adversely affect us.
Tax laws, treaties and regulations are highly
complex and subject to interpretation. Consequently, we and our subsidiaries are subject to changing laws, treaties and regulations in
and between the countries in which we operate. Our tax expense is based on our interpretation of the tax laws in effect at the time the
expense was incurred. A change in tax laws, treaties or regulations, or in the interpretation thereof, could result in a materially higher
tax expense or a higher effective tax rate on our earnings.
In addition, if any tax authority successfully
challenges positions we may take in tax filings, our operational structure, intercompany pricing policies, the taxable presence of our
subsidiaries in certain countries or any other situation, or if the terms of certain income tax treaties are interpreted in a manner that
is adverse to our structure, or if we lose a material tax dispute in any country, our effective tax rate on our worldwide earnings could
increase substantially and our earnings and cash flows from operations could be materially adversely affected.
An investment in this Underwritten Offering
may involve adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.
An
investment in this Underwritten Offering may involve adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. For instance, there is a risk that
an investor’s entitlement to receive payments in excess of the investor’s initial tax basis in our common stock upon exercise
of the investor’s conversion right or upon our liquidation of the trust account will result in constructive income to the investor,
which could affect the timing and character of income recognition and result in U.S. federal income tax liability to the investor without
the investor’s receipt of cash from us. We have also not sought a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS,
as to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described in this prospectus. The IRS may disagree with the descriptions of U.S.
federal income tax consequences described herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Any such determination could subject
an investor or our company to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences that would be different than those described in this prospectus.
Accordingly, each prospective investor is urged to consult a tax advisor with
respect to the specific tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our securities, including the applicability
and effect of state, local, or foreign tax laws, as well as U.S. federal tax laws.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock and this
Underwritten Offering
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Market,
which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC
Pink Market. The quotation of our shares on the OTC Pink Market may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential
stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse
impact on our ability to raise capital in the future. When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTC Pink Market, volatility
of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Due to lower trading volumes
in shares of our common stock, there may be a lower likelihood that orders for shares of our common stock will be executed, and current
prices may differ significantly from the price that was quoted at the time of entry of the order.
There can be no assurances that an active
trading market may develop for our common stock, or if developed, be maintained.
We intend to apply to list our common stock on
the Nasdaq Capital Market. No assurance can be given that our application will be approved or that the trading prices of our common stock
on the OTC Pink Market will be indicative of the prices of our common stock if our common stock were traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
If our application is not approved, the Underwritten Offering will not be completed. This offering is contingent upon final approval
of the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Our common stock has traded on the OTC Pink Market
since February 9, 2022. The average trading volume in our common stock has been historically low, with little or no trading at all on
some days. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our common
stock. Accordingly, investors must assume they may have to bear the economic risk of an investment in our common stock for an indefinite
period of time. There can be no assurance that a more active market for the common stock will develop, or if one should develop, there
is no assurance that it will be maintained. This severely limits the liquidity of our common stock and would likely have a material adverse
effect on the market price of our common stock and on our ability to raise additional capital.
An active, liquid,
and orderly market for our common stock may not develop.
Our common stock is expected
to trade on Nasdaq a day after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The trading market
for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business.
Several analysts may cover our stock. If one or more of those analysts downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research
about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to publish
reports on us regularly, demand for our stock could decrease, which might cause our stock price and trading volume to decline. An active
trading market for our common stock may never develop or be sustained. If an active market for our common stock does not continue to develop
or is not sustained, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares of common stock without depressing the market price and investors
may not be able to sell their securities at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling our securities
and may impair our ability to acquire other businesses, applications, or technologies using our securities as consideration, which, in
turn, could materially adversely affect our business and the market prices of your shares of common stock.
Our common stock is subject to the “penny
stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and
may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.
The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes
the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less
than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving
a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
|
· |
that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person’s account for
transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
|
· |
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior
to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight
form sets forth:
|
· |
the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute
transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of
common stock and cause a decline in the market value of stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of
investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer
and the registered underwriter, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock
held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
(“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules
described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable
grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their
non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status,
tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high
probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more
difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our
common stock and have an adverse effect on the market for shares of our common stock.
Our articles of incorporation allow for
our board to create a new series of preferred stock without further approval by our Stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights
of the holders of our common stock.
Our board of directors has the authority to fix
and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue up 80,000 shares
of Series A Preferred Stock and 20,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. The Board of Directors has the authority,
without stockholder approval, to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to divide the class of undesignated Preferred Stock
into series, and to determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of each series, including (i) voting power, (ii)
the rate of dividend, (iii) the price at which, and the terms and conditions on which, the shares may be redeemed, (iv) the amount
payable upon the shares in the event of liquidation, (v) any sinking fund provision for the redemption or purchase of the shares, and
(vi) the terms and conditions on which the shares may be converted to shares of another series or class, if the shares of any series
are issued with the privilege of conversion, which could decrease the
relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing Stockholders.
On January
27, 2023, Tianci sold 80,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to RQS Capital for $24,000 cash. On January 19, 2024,
the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of its common stock to RQS Capital. The shares were issued upon RQS Capital’s exercise of its
right to convert 80,000 shares of Tianci’s Series A Preferred Stock into 8,000,000 shares of common stock.
On April 24, 2024, Tianci sold 80,000 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock to RQS Capital. The shares were sold for a cash payment of $80,000. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock may
be converted by the holder of the share into 100 shares of common stock, subject to equitable adjustment of the conversion rate. As
of the date of the prospectus, none of Series B Preferred Stock have been converted.
Although we have no present intention to issue
any additional shares of preferred stock or to create any additional series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.
The trading price
of our common stock is likely to be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.
The trading price of
our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. This may happen because of broad
market and industry factors, including the performance and fluctuation of the market prices of other companies with business operations
located outside of the United States that have listed their securities in the United States. In addition to market and industry factors,
the price and trading volume for our common stock may be highly volatile for factors specific to our own operations, including the following:
|
· |
variations in our revenues, earnings and cash flow; |
|
· |
announcements of new investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures by us or our competitors; |
|
· |
announcements of new offerings, solutions and expansions by us or our competitors; |
|
· |
detrimental adverse publicity about us, our brand, our services or our industry; |
|
· |
additions or departures of key personnel; and |
|
· |
potential litigation or regulatory investigations. |
Any of these factors
may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our common stock will trade.
In the past, stockholders
of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market
price of their securities. If we were involved in a class action suit, it could divert a significant amount of our management’s
attention and other resources from our business and operations and require us to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which
could harm our results of operations. Any such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm our reputation and restrict our
ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against us, we may be required to pay significant
damages, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Short sellers of
our stock may be manipulative and may drive down the market price of our common stock.
Short selling is the
practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed or intends to borrow from a third party with the intention
of buying identical securities at a later date to return them to the lender. A short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value
of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects
to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is therefore in the short seller’s interest for the price of the
stock to decline, some short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, opinions or characterizations regarding the relevant
issuer, its business prospects and similar matters calculated to or which may create negative market momentum, which may permit them to
obtain profits for themselves as a result of selling the stock short. Issuers whose securities have historically had limited trading volumes
and/or have been susceptible to relatively high volatility levels can be particularly vulnerable to such short seller attacks.
The publication of any
such commentary regarding us by a short seller may bring about a temporary, or possibly long term, decline in the market price of our
common stock. No assurances can be made that we will not become a target of such commentary and declines in the market price of our common
stock will not occur in the future, in connection with such commentary by short sellers or otherwise.
We have considerable
discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this Underwritten Offering and we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may
not agree.
We intend to use the
proceeds from this Underwritten Offering primarily to enhance and expand our business operations and for general corporate purposes. However,
we have considerable discretion in the application of the proceeds. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision,
to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. You must rely on the judgment of our management regarding the application
of the net proceeds of this Underwritten Offering. The net proceeds may be used for corporate or other purposes with which you do not
agree or that do not improve our profitability or increase our share price. The net proceeds from this Underwritten Offering may also
be placed in investments that do not produce income or that lose value.
Our expected use of net
proceeds from the Underwritten Offering represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business condition. As of the
date of this prospectus, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the completion
of the Underwritten Offering. The amounts and timing of our actual use of the net proceeds will vary depending on numerous factors, including
the amount of cash used in our operations, which can be highly uncertain, subject to substantial risks and can often change. Our management
will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the application
of the net proceeds of the Underwritten Offering.
The sale or availability
for sale of substantial amounts of our common stock could adversely affect their market price.
Sales of substantial amounts
of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our
common stock and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. Shares held by our existing
stockholders may be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities.
As of January 31, 2024 and the date of this prospectus, we have 14,781,803 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. We cannot predict
what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant stockholders or any other stockholder or the availability of these
securities for future sale will have on the market price of our common stock.
As we do not
expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on a price appreciation of our common stock for return on your investment.
We currently intend to
retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result,
we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our common stock
as a source for any future dividend income.
Our board of directors
has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the
timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements
and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition, contractual restrictions
and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our common stock will likely
depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our common stock. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in
value, or even maintain the price at which you purchased the common stock. You may not realize a return on your investment in our common
stock and you may even lose your entire investment in our common stock.
Our CEO beneficially owns the majority
of our outstanding stock and, accordingly, will have control over stockholder matters, the Company’s business and management.
Shufang Gao, the Chief Executive Officer of Tianci, through his 60%
holding in RQS Capital, which has 61.89% of the voting power, together with common stock owned by himself, controls securities with 62.11%
of the voting power in Tianci. As a result, Mr. Gao will have the ability to:
|
· |
Elect or defeat the election of our directors; |
|
|
|
|
· |
Amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws; |
|
|
|
|
· |
Effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
Affect the outcome of any other matter submitted to the Stockholders for vote. |
Moreover, because of the
significant ownership position held by Mr. Gao, new investors will not be able to effect a change in the Company’s business or management,
and therefore, stockholders would be subject to decisions made by management and the majority stockholder.
In addition, Management’s stock ownership
may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce
our stock price or prevent our Stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
The sale of securities by us in any
equity or debt financing could result in dilution to our existing Stockholders.
Our Board of Directors
is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 20,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. Of which
approximately [●] will remain available for issuance after the Underwritten Offering, including
(i) awards reserved for issuance under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan; (ii) shares issuable upon the exercise of the underwriter’s
over-allotment option. Our Board of Directors will continue to have the authority to issue additional shares of common stock without
consent of any of our stockholders, unless stockholder’s
approval is required under law or, if our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, under Nasdaq Rule 5635, which among other things, requires
stockholder approval for change of control transactions where a stockholder acquires 20% of a Nasdaq-listed company’s common stock
or securities convertible into common stock, calculated on a post-transaction basis. If our management determines to issue shares of our
common stock from the large pool of authorized but unissued shares for any purpose in the future and is not required to obtain stockholder
approval, your ownership position would be diluted without your further ability to vote on that transaction. In addition, our Articles
of Incorporation provide that the Board can designate the voting rights, liquidation rights, dividend rights and other rights of holders
of the preferred stock. The Board, therefore, could use the Preferred Stock to give an investor group disproportionate voting rights or
priority over the common stock in the allocation of benefits from the operations of Roshing, including preferential dividends. The Board
could also use the Preferred Stock to create a poison pill to prevent a takeover of Tianci that might be considered beneficial by the
common stockholders.
Any sale of common stock
by us in a future private placement offering could result in dilution to the existing Stockholders as a direct result of our issuance
of additional shares of our capital stock. In addition, our business strategy may include expansion through internal growth by acquiring
complementary businesses, acquiring, or establishing strategic relationships with targeted customers and suppliers. In order to do so,
or to finance the cost of our other activities, we may issue additional equity securities that could dilute our Stockholders’ stock
ownership. We may also assume additional debt and incur impairment losses related to goodwill and other tangible assets, and this could
negatively impact our earnings and results of operations.
If you purchase our common stock in this
offering, you will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares.
Investors purchasing our common stock in this offering will pay a price
per share that substantially exceeds the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share. As a result, investors purchasing shares
in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $ [●] per share, representing the difference between our assumed public offering
price of $ [●] per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) and our pro forma as adjusted
net tangible book value of $ [●] per share as of [●]. For more information on the dilution you may experience as a result
of investing in this offering, see “Dilution.”
A significant portion of our shares of common
stock are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our
common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
The sales of a substantial number of our shares of common stock in
the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that these sales may occur, could result in a
decrease in the market price of our common stock. Immediately after this offering, we will have [●] outstanding shares of common
stock, based on the number of 14,781,803 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 31, 2024 and as of the date of the prospectus,
assuming no exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. This includes the shares that we are selling in this offering,
which may be resold in the public market immediately without restriction, unless purchased by our affiliates or existing stockholders.
Of that amount, 14,529,788 shares of common stock are currently restricted as a result of securities laws and/or lock-up agreements but
will be able to be sold after the closing of this offering, subject to securities laws and/or lock-up agreements. If held by one of our
affiliates, the resale of those securities will be subject to volume limitations under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.”
If our common stock is listed on Nasdaq,
we may not be able to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq to maintain a listing of our common stock.
If our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, we must meet
certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate the maintenance requirements for continued listing of
our common stock, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our Board may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a
national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair
our Stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency
of the trading market for, our common stock. In addition, the delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to
raise capital. In addition, if we are unable to uplist our common stock to Nasdaq, our common stock will continue to trade on the OTC
Pink Market, which is generally considered less liquid and more volatile than the Nasdaq Capital Market.
We may require
additional capital to support growth, and such capital might not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper
our growth and adversely affect our business.
We intend to continue
to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds, beyond those generated by the offering, to respond
to business challenges, including the need to enhance our products and services, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary
businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in public or private equity, equity-linked or debt financing to secure
additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders
could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those
of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital
raising activities and other financial and operational matters, including the ability to pay dividends. This may make it more difficult
for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain
additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing on terms satisfactory to us when
we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired,
and our business could be adversely affected.

statements contained herein are made only as of the date of this prospectus, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking
statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence
of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all or any of these factors. Further,
we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause
actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will
receive net proceeds from this Underwritten Offering of approximately $[●], or approximately $[●] if the underwriter exercises
their option to purchase additional shares in full, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance,
and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the
assumed public offering price of $[●] per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on
the cover page of this prospectus) would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from the Underwritten Offering by
$[●], assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus,
remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance and
estimated offering expenses payable by us. An increase (decrease) of 1.0 million in the number of shares we
are offering would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from the Underwritten Offering by $[●],
assuming the assumed public offering price remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and
commissions, non-accountable expense allowance, and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We plan to use the net
proceeds of this Underwritten Offering as follows:

The foregoing represents
our current intention to use and allocate the net proceeds of the Underwritten Offering based upon our present plans and business
conditions. The actual allocation of proceeds realized from the Underwritten Offering will depend upon our operating revenues and cash
position and our working capital requirements and may change.
Our management, however,
will have broad discretion in the way that we use the net proceeds of the Underwritten Offering. Pending the final application of the
net proceeds of the Underwritten Offering, we intend to use the net proceeds of the Underwritten Offering primarily to enhance and expand
our business operations and for general corporate purposes. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Common Stock— We have considerable discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this Underwritten Offering and we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree.” On page 39.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We do not anticipate
declaring or paying, in the foreseeable future, any cash dividends on our capital stock. We intend to retain all available funds and
future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business. Any future determination regarding the declaration and
payment of dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on then-existing conditions, including
our financial condition, operating results, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors our
board of directors may deem relevant. See also “Risk Factors— Risks Related to Our Common Stock—
As we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on a price appreciation of our common stock for return
on your investment.”

at an assumed public offering price of $[●] per share, the midpoint of the estimated public offering price range set forth on the
cover page of this prospectus, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance
and estimated offering expenses, assuming the underwriter’s over-allotment option has not been exercised. |
The pro forma as adjusted
information below is illustrative only and our capitalization following the completion of the Underwritten Offering is subject to adjustment

and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance, and estimated offering expenses
payable by us, assuming the underwriter’s over-allotment option has not been exercised. Additional paid-in capital reflects the
net proceeds we expect to receive, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance, and
estimated offering expenses payable by us. We estimate that such net proceeds will be approximately $[●] assuming the underwriter
has not exercised the over-allotment option. The as adjusted total stockholders’ equity of $[●] is the sum of the net proceeds
of $[●] and the actual equity of $[●]. |
Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the
assumed public offering price of $ [●] per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth
on the cover page of this prospectus) would increase (decrease) the pro forma as adjusted amount of total capitalization by
$ [●], assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus,
remains the same, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance and estimated
offering expenses payable by us. An increase (decrease) of 1.0 million in the number of shares offered by us, as set forth
on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the pro forma as adjusted amount of total capitalization by
$ [●], assuming no change in the assumed public offering price per share as set forth on the cover page
of this prospectus.
DILUTION
If you invest in our
common stock, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share you
will pay in this Underwritten Offering and the adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this Underwritten
Offering.
The historical net tangible
book value of our common stock as of January 31, 2024 was approximately $672,370, or $0.05 per share, based upon 14,781,803 shares of
common stock outstanding on such date. Historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets
reduced by the amount of our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.
After
giving effect to the Underwritten Offering, our adjusted net tangible book value of our common stock will be $[●] per share. Adjusted
net tangible book value per share represents adjusted net tangible book value divided by the total number of shares outstanding after
giving effect to the sale of the shares in this Underwritten Offering at the assumed public offering price of $[●] per share (the
midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance, and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. This represents an
immediate decrease in as adjusted net tangible book value of $[●] per share to existing Stockholders and an immediate dilution of
$[●] per share to investors purchasing shares of common stock in the Underwritten Offering at the assumed public offering price.
The following table illustrates
this dilution on a per share basis to new investors:
Assumed public offering price per share | |
$ | – | |
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of [●] | |
$ | – | |
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this Underwritten Offering | |
$ | – | |
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this Underwritten Offering | |
$ | – | |
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to purchasers in this Underwritten Offering | |
$ | – | |
Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed
public offering price of $ [●]per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) would increase
(decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of [●] after the Underwritten Offering by approximately $ [●]
per ordinary, and would increase (decrease) dilution to new investors by $ [●] per share, assuming that the number of shares offered
by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions,
non-accountable expense allowance and estimated offering expenses payable by us. An increase (decrease) of 1.0 million shares in the number
of shares we are offering would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of after the Underwritten Offering
by approximately $ [●] per share, and would increase (decrease) dilution to new investors by approximately $ [●] per share,
assuming the assumed public offering price per share, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus remains the same, and after deducting
the estimate underwriting discounts and commissions, non-accountable expense allowance and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The pro forma as adjusted information is illustrative only, and we will adjust this information based on the actual public offering price
and other terms of the Underwritten Offering determined at pricing.
If the underwriter’s
over-allotment option is exercised in full, our adjusted net tangible book value following the Underwritten Offering will be $ [●]
per share, and the dilution to investors purchasing shares of common stock in the Underwritten Offering will be $ [●] per share.
MANAGEMENT’S

Overview
On June 13, 2012, Freedom Petroleum Inc. was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Nevada
On July 02, 2015, Freedom Petroleum, Inc. changed
its name from Freedom Petroleum to Steampunk Wizards, Inc.(“Steampunk”).
On October 26, 2016, Steampunk completed a reverse
merger, with Steampunk as the public shell company. Tianci merged with and into Steampunk. This transaction was carried out in accordance
with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement which took effective On November 9, 2016, and on the same day, Steampunk changed its
name to Tianci International, Inc.
On August 3, 2017, Tianci entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Shifang Wan (the “Seller”), the record holder of 4,397,837 common shares,
or approximately 87.00% of the issued and outstanding of Common Stock of Tianci, and Chuah Su Chen and Chuah Su Mei (collectively, the
“Purchasers”, and together with Tianci and the Seller, the “Parties”). Pursuant to the SPA, the Seller sold to
the Purchasers and the Purchasers acquired from the Sellers the Shares for a total gross purchase price of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($350,000). The acquisition was consummated on August 15, 2017.
On March 3, 2023, Tianci
acquired ownership of RQS United, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement dated March 3, 2023 among the Company, RQS United and RQS Capital,
the prior owner of RQS United.
RQS United is a holding
company incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles. RQS United has no operations other than holding 90% of the share capital of its subsidiary,
Roshing International Co., Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“Roshing”). Roshing was incorporated
on June 22, 2011 and is primarily engaged in in logistics solutions, including shipping operation management. We also generate a small
portion of our revenue from our non-core businesses that we carry on from Roshing, including software development services, consulting
services, and the sale of electronic parts.
Our primary line of business
is global logistics. The Company, through its subsidiary, Roshing, provides global logistics services, encompassing booking and the transportation
arrangement and related logistics solutions. Roshing’s customized logistics solutions are tailored to meet the diverse needs of
its customers.
As a global logistics
enterprise, Roshing focuses on ocean freight forwarding services, including container shipping and bulk goods shipping service.
For the container shipping, Roshing charters cargo
space from shipping suppliers (such as shipowners, non-vessel operating common carriers) and then sub-charters that space to its customers
(cargo owners, cargo agents). For bulk goods shipping, Roshing issues fixture notes to customers and then arranges the booking of ships,
signing of charter parties with suppliers (such as shipowners). Roshing tailors a selection of transport options and arranges to transport
the goods from the port of loading to the port of destination, so as to complete the performance of the contract.
Roshing currently does not own or operate any
transportation assets. By leveraging our senior management’s expertise in the global logistics industry and adopting an asset-light
strategy at the early stage, Roshing has seen a significant growth in logistics revenue during the six months ended January 31, 2024.
Shufang Gao, our Chief Executive Officer previously worked for a globally renowned shipping conglomerate, with over 20 years of management
experience. His expertise spans shipping operation management, and logistics transportation. Leveraging this experience, he has provided
the Company with the managerial framework to expand its global logistics business, as well as access to relevant customer and supplier
resources in the shipping industry. Roshing’s business is primarily carried out in Hong Kong and other locations in the Asia-Pacific
region, mainly in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam. Roshing’s logistics services also include the shipment of goods to African countries.
Roshing also generates
revenue from the sale of electronic parts, and certain business and technical consulting services, independent from its global logistics
business.
Key factors that affect operating results
Our performance of operations and financial conditions
have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by a number of factors which are set forth below.
Economic Conditions in Hong Kong
We are a Nevada company with operations conducted
by our subsidiary Roshing, which is based in Hong Kong. Accordingly, if Hong Kong experiences any adverse economic, political or regulatory
conditions due to events beyond our control, such as local economic downturn, natural disasters, contagious disease outbreaks, terrorist
attacks, or if the government adopts regulations that place restrictions or burdens on us or on our industry in general, our business,
financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
International Trade Environment
The demand for our shipping operation services
is driven by the levels of international trade, which is in turn affected by global political, economic or social conditions. Any changes
in a particular country’s trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, potentially eventually resulting
in a trade war, which could increase the cost of goods and thus reduce customer demand for products if the parties have to pay tariffs
which increase their prices or if trading partners limit their trade with the particular country. Our business is also susceptible to
downturns and disruptions in the business activities of their direct customers that are beyond their control. If sales in a particular
geographical market in which our direct customers target operate in decline, due to unstable regional and/or global political and economic
conditions, such decline will likely lead to a corresponding plunge in the international trade volume which, in turn, could reduce the
demand for freight forward and adversely affect our results of operations.
Our Ability to Source Cargo Space from Vendors
on a Cost-Efficient Manner
A significant portion of our cost of revenue is
the fee that we paid to our vendors. As a result, our results of operation depend on our ability to source vendors in a cost-efficient
manner by obtaining a favorable price and effectively control the cost.

Revenues
During the three and
six months ended January 31, 2024, our revenue increased significantly: to $2,894,128 for the three months ended January 31, 2024 from
$98,730 for the three months ended January 31, 2023 and to $4,220,776 for the six months ended January 31, 2024 from $223,100 for the
six months ended January 31, 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to the launch and growth of our global logistics service revenue,
which contributed 97% of our revenue in the quarter ended January 31, 2024 and 95% of our revenue during the six months ended January
31, 2024.

Our cost of revenues
from global logistics services represented 98% and 97% of total cost of revenues during the three and six months ended January 31, 2024,
respectively. We did not have any cost of global logistics service in the same period in 2023 as this is a new business sector. Cost of
global logistics services primarily include the cargo space charged by direct ocean carriers, freight forwarders and ancillary logistics
services fees.
Our cost of revenues
from hardware product sales decreased by 44% and 37% for the three- and six-month periods ended January 31, 2024, respectively, reflecting
the reduction in our revenue from hardware product sales.

Our gross profit increased
by $319,174 to $339,104 for the three months and by $537,136 to $572,881 during the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, respectively.
The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the launch and growth of our global logistics service, as discussed above. For the three
and six months ended January 31, 2024, our overall gross profit margin was 11.7% and 13.6%, respectively, a reduction from gross margins
of 20.2% and 16.0% during the three and six months ended January 31, 2023. Our overall gross margins fell because the gross margins from
our global logistics service were 11.1% and 11.6% during the three and six months ended January 31, 2024. We anticipate that the gross
margin realized from logistics services is likely to increase in the future as demand picks up post-pandemic with relatively stable global
logistics supply.
Operating Expenses
With the significant
increase in our operations came a significant increase in our total operating expenses, which were $270,484 and $491,260 for the three
and six months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $25,203 and $42,374 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2023, respectively.
Our operating expenses primarily include payroll expenses, commissions, advertising, rent and professional fees relating to our obligations
as a public company. The increase was mainly due to the increasing commission expense we paid to agents for referring global logistics
customers, and professional fees for compliance services.
Income tax expense
Our income tax expenses
amounted to $7,141 and $11,972 for the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, compared to $0 and $ (224) for the three and six months
ended January 31, 2023, respectively. The change was due to the increase in revenue realized during the recent six-month period.
Net Income
The Company realized net
income of $100,714 and $94,602 for the three months and six months ended January 31, 2024. However, since the Company owns only 90% of
its operating subsidiary, Roshing, 10% of net income generated by Roshing was attributed to the minority interest. As a result, the net
income for the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, attributable to the stockholders of Tianci International was $81,133 and $65,349,
respectively. In comparison, during the three and six months ended January 31, 2023, the Company incurred net losses of $5,497
and $6,629 respectively. We believe our pivot to the logistics market gives our stockholders an opportunity to benefit from the opportunity
presented by this market as the global economy recovers from the pandemic.

Revenues
During the year ended
July 31, 2023, our revenue decreased by $300,430, or approximately 40%, to $452,409 for the year ended July 31, 2023 from $752,839 for
the year ended July 31, 2022. We experienced decline in both product and service revenues in 2023 due to diminishing market demand and
our reduction in marketing expenses. We expect our revenue to grow after we add logistics services to our lines of business.
Our revenues from our
revenue categories are summarized as follows:

For the Year Ended July 31, | |

2022 | |

Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues
decreased by $22,027, or approximately 5%, to $456,494 for the year ended July 31, 2023 as compared to $478,521 for the year
ended July 31, 2022. Our cost of revenues from our revenue categories are summarized as follows:
| |
For the Year Ended July 31, | |
| |
2023 | | |
2022 | |
Cost of Product | |
$ | 227,660 | | |
$ | 336,644 | |
Cost of Service (non-logistics) | |
| 228,834 | | |
| 141,877 | |
| |
$ | 456,494 | | |
$ | 478,521 | |
The year-to-year decrease
in our cost of revenues is primarily attributable to the decrease in our revenue. Thus, our cost of revenues from hardware product sales
decreased to $227,660 for the year ended July 31, 2023, from $336,644 for the year ended July 31, 2022, as we experienced a 41% decrease
in hardware product sales.
Nevertheless, overall
cost of revenue fell only 5%, while overall revenue fell by 40%. The disparity occurred because our cost of revenues from software related
services increased by $86,957 to $228,834 for the year ended July 31, 2023, from $141,877 for the year ended July 31, 2022.
The increase in the cost of revenues from software related services resulted from our grant of common stock as an incentive to our internal
software developers. We recorded the $144,000 fair value of the shares as a cost of services.
Gross Profit
We had a gross loss of
$4,085 for the year ended July 31, 2023, compared to a gross profit of $274,318 for the year July 31, 2022, which was primarily due
to the reduction in revenue without a corresponding reduction in our overall cost of revenues, as discussed above.
The gross profit margin
of hardware products decreases by 9.9% to 22.8% for the year ended July 31, 2023, from 32.7% for the year ended July 31, 2022, which
was primarily due to rising raw material cost and increasing market competition, which put downward pressure on our pricing. Our software
related services resulted in a 45.3 % gross loss for the year ended July 31, 2023, again primarily due to the stock-based compensation
issued to our developers.
Operating Expenses
There was significant
change in our total operating expenses, which were $339,909 and $82,502 for the year ended July 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Our
operating expenses primarily include payroll expenses, advertising and rent. The increase was partially due to the stock compensation
valued at $66,000 that we issued to the selling and general administrative personnel for their continued service after the reverse merger.
The professional fees and other costs incurred in connection with the Share Exchange in March 2023 also increased our operating expenses
for fiscal year 2023.
Income tax expense
Our income tax expense
amounted to $ 12,095 and $ 31,650 for the year ended July 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The change was mainly due to the decrease
in profits subject to taxation in Hong Kong.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
In assessing our liquidity,
we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital
requirements and operating expenses obligations. As of January 31, 2024, we had working capital of $692,636, as our cash amounted to $799,377,
our current assets were $886,140 and our current liabilities were $193,504. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through
capital contributions and advances from stockholders and by private placement of our securities. At January 31, 2024 we owed $30,215 to
related parties.
We believe that our liquidity
and working capital will be sufficient to sustain our business operation for the next twelve months. We may, however, need additional
cash resources in the future if there are changes in business conditions or other developments or if the Company finds and wishes to pursue
opportunities for investment, acquisition, capital expenditure, or similar actions.
We started providing
global logistics services during the first fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2023. Although the business grew fast during its first six
months, we cannot assure you if the growth is able to be sustained. In addition, we may require significant capital expenditure for developing
our position in the market, including charter size. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents
we have on hand at the time, we may seek to issue additional equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale
of additional equity may result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations
and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. Our obligation to bear credit risk for certain financing transactions
we facilitate may also strain our operating cash flow. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable
to us, if at all.
The following table summarizes
the key components of our cash flows for the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, and for the year ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.

Operating activities
Net cash of $109,822
provided by operating activities for the six months ended January 31, 2024, was primarily the result of net income of $94,602. While an
increase of $ 86,513 in accounts receivable during the period served to reduce the cash provided by our operations, we offset that item
with a $89,040 increase in accrued liabilities.
Net cash of $217,000
provided by operating activities for the six months ended January 31, 2023, was primarily the result of an decrease in accounts receivable
of $540,914, which was partially offset by the decrease of $325,062 in accounts payable.
Despite our net loss of $356,089, net cash was provided by operating
activities for the year ended July 31, 2023 primarily because our accounts receivable decreased by $737,663 during the period, as we made
efforts on the collection process. The decrease was offset by a decrease of $447,292 in our accounts payable balance attributable to payment
to our vendors. In addition, our operating loss of $356,089 included $210,000 in various noncash items.
Net cash was used in operating activities for the year ended July 31,
2022 primarily because our accounts receivable increased by $737,620 during the year, as we offer long payment terms to our customers,
typically 6 months after delivery of service or products. Nevertheless, cash used in operations during the fiscal year was only $84,161,
as we increased our accounts payable balance by $444,944 attributable to long payment terms from our vendors, recorded net income of $160,166,
and increased deferred income tax expense, inventory, and income taxes payable for a total amount of $ 48,349.
Investing activities
The Company has no investing
activities during either of the six-month periods ended January 31, 2024 and 2023.
The company has no investing activities for the years ended July 31,
2023 and 2022.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by
financing activities for the six months ended January 31, 2024, was $433,213. This was attributable to proceeds received from private
offering of common stock in that amount.
Net cash of $63,305 used

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
The Company through Roshing
provides global logistics services, encompassing booking and transportation arrangement and related logistics solutions. Roshing’s
customized logistics solutions are tailored to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
As a logistics shipping
operator, Roshing focuses on ocean freight forwarding services, including container shipping and bulk goods shipping service.
For the container shipping
service, Roshing charters cargo space from shipping suppliers (such as shipowners, ship carrier or non-vessel operating common carriers)
and then sub-charters that cargo space to its customers (cargo owners or cargo agents). For the bulk goods shipping service, Roshing issues
fixture notes to customers, and then arranges the booking of ships, and signs chartering contracts with suppliers (such as shipowners).
Roshing also tailors the selection of transport options, and arranges to transport the goods from the port of loading to the port of destination,
so as to complete the performance of the contract.
Roshing currently does
not own or operate any transportation assets. By leveraging our senior management’s expertise in the global logistics industry and
adopting an asset-light strategy at the early stage, Roshing has seen a significant growth in logistics revenue during the six months
ended January 31, 2024. Shufang Gao, Our CEO previously worked for a globally renowned shipping conglomerate, with over 20 years of management
experience. His expertise spans shipping operation management, and logistics transportation. Leveraging this experience, he has provided
the Company with the managerial framework to expand its global logistics business, as well as access to relevant customer and supplier
resources in the shipping industry. Roshing’s business is primarily carried out in Hong Kong and other locations in the Asia-Pacific
region, mainly in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam. Roshing’s logistics services also include the shipment of goods to African countries.

Our General Logistics Service Process
Roshing has a long-term and close cooperation
with ocean shipping suppliers, including the signing of charter contracts, and service contracts. When a customer makes an inquiry to
Roshing, we are usually able to offer competitive quotes and customize shipping solutions quickly.
Roshing begins by thoroughly evaluating the customer’s
logistics needs, including the type of goods being shipped, the destination, and the required transportation time. Based on this information,
Roshing designs an optimal transportation plan tailored to the customer’s specific requirements. This plan includes selecting the
most efficient shipping routes, determining the appropriate container or bulk cargo vessel size and type, and considering any special
handling or regulatory compliance requirements. Roshing then enters into a written contract with the customer for ocean shipping that
can best meet the customer’s needs. This includes selecting a shipment method that aligns with the customer’s timeline and
cargo specifications.
Roshing works with each customer to develop a
cost-effective plan and service terms to meet the client’s specific needs. This involves detailed discussions to ensure that both
parties have a clear understanding of expectations, costs, and responsibilities. Roshing will assign cargo space from the appropriate
container or bulk cargo vessel based on the volume and weight of the shipment, minimize shipping costs, select the shortest route to save
on freight, and choose the port closest to the customer’s destination.
Throughout the entire shipping process, Roshing
maintains close oversight to ensure the safety and timely arrival of goods at the destination port. This involves real-time tracking and
monitoring of the shipment, handling any unforeseen issues that may arise, and providing regular updates to the customer. By doing so,
Roshing ensures that the goods are transported safely and arrive within the agreed timeframe, meeting all customer expectations.
We believe that Roshing stands out in the global
logistics landscape because of its core strengths. First, Roshing’s management’s extensive network and industry relationships
empower us with access to a wide customer base, enabling tailored solutions for an array of logistics requirements. Additionally, our
collaboration with direct shipping suppliers ensures competitive rates and transparent service delivery. Moreover, Roshing’s expertise
in route optimization enables us to efficiently manage logistics routes and secure favorable terms for its clients. These strengths collectively
position us as a competitive player in the industry.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
Logistics Market
The classification of the logistics service providers
in the global logistics industry
Global logistics includes: Air Transport Logistics,
Land Transport Logistics, Marine Transport Logistics, Terminal Operator etc.. Among them, the Marine Transport Logistics is usually divided
into shipping owner (holding ship assets) and shipping operator (not holding ship assets). The shipping operator includes Container Shipping
Operator/ Bulk Shipping Operator/ Liquid Shipping Operator/ Others Shipping Operator. The main business of Roshing belongs to Container
Shipping Operator and Bulk Shipping Operator categories.
Shipping operators, such as Roshing, play a key
role in the global logistics industry. Their efficient operation management and services not only ensure the safety and punctual delivery
of goods, but also play an important role in optimizing the logistics efficiency of global trade.
We believe the outlook for the shipping industry
is strong. According to BIMCO (BIMCO is the world’s largest international shipping association, with over 2,000 members in more than 130
countries, representing 62% of the world’s tonnage.), ship supply is expected to grow on average 9.1% in 2024 and 4.1% in 2025.
Ship deliveries are expected to hit a new record high in 2024, beating the record set in 2023. The fleet is expected to grow 14.9% between
the end of 2023 and the end of 2025. Cargo volumes are expected to grow 3-4% in both 2024 and 2025.
Macro Economy Growth
According to the International Monetary Fund’s
(IMF) estimates, the global economy should grow 3.1% in 2024 and 3.2% in 2025, slightly higher than the 3.0% estimated for 2023, indicating
a modest but positive trend in global economic expansion. In our primary area of operations in East and Southeast Asia, the growth is
expected to be 4.0% in 2024 and 3.8% in 2025.
According to BIMCO: Iron ore shipments are estimated
to grow 2.5% from 2023 to 2025. BIMCO estimates that iron ore shipments will grow by 1-2% in 2024 and 0.5-1.5% in 2025. They will benefit
from a 1.7% and 1.2% increase in global steel demand in 2024 and 2025 respectively as forecast by the World Steel Association.
Strong demand in the bulk cargo market
We believe that there is strong demand in the
bulk cargo market and challenges and opportunities in the container shipping industry. The global bulk carrier market is driven by factors
such as increased demand from China and export bans from Indonesia. Container carriers profited from disruptions in the Red Sea, with
some routes experiencing skyrocketing freight rates.
In mid-January 2024, a 40-day blockade in the
Red Sea resulted in multiple detours of vessels from Africa, absorbing about 6% of global capacity. As a result, spot container freight
rates on some routes almost doubled, with freight rates from China to Northern Europe rising by 237% since December 1st, according to
the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI). Additionally, it is forecasted that container capacity shortages in China will persist
from the start of the Chinese Spring Festival in 2024, which may take months to resolve. With vessel supply remaining lower for an extended
period, freight rates have been driven up, enabling shipowners to profit from prolonged disruptions in global trade.
Other Products & Services Market
Electronic Device Hardware Components Products
Sales & Software Technology Consulting Services
The market for hardware components of electronic
devices, including Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth modules, 4G network modules, LED screens and touch screens, and other electronic components
is highly competitive. The software technology services market is also a highly competitive market.
We believe that obtaining a competitive advantage
in the electronic device hardware components products and software technology services markets requires the following:
Customization needs of existing customers: As
the market continues to segment, we believe that the electronic product market has entered a period of highly integrated hardware and
software. Some existing customers, as well as those requiring small-batch customization or product testing, have a certain demand for
small and medium-sized batch customized hardware construction; software debugging and cooperation services.
Additionally, in a competitive market, we believe
that cost control is crucial for the survival and growth of enterprises. Faced with customized demand orders, enterprises are trying to
minimize expenses by optimizing supplier selection, refining supply management practices, and exploring avenues for collaboration with
customers.
Business Consulting Services
At the end of 2023, in line with the continuous
adjustment of the Talent Admission & Employment Policy in Hong Kong, such as talent scheme and other employment opportunities, we
expect that the talent introduction consulting business may be revised after the second half of 2024, and the consulting services for
Mainland Chinese residents may shrink or end. Predictably, providing some consulting services for local enterprises will be a major part
of our consulting business.
At the same time, as an important business and
financial center in Asia, Hong Kong has also attracted many companies to set up branches or expand operations there. This growth has provided
a broad market space for local enterprises to serve. At the same time, we also take advantage of Hong Kong’s localization to provide some
Hong Kong enterprises with corporate management, business services, administrative affairs consulting and other services. It is expected
that this consulting business will evolve into a long-term service, fueled by the growing base of local corporate clients in Hong Kong,
offering ample room for expansion.

Competition
Roshing’s container shipping operation faces competition
from global and regional shipping companies such as Maersk, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), and CMA CGM
Group. These companies offer extensive networks and comprehensive services, including advanced tracking technology, competitive pricing,
and strong customer service capabilities. Additionally, logistics companies like DHL and FedEx also provide integrated transportation
solutions, including container shipping.
To maintain competitiveness, Roshing focuses on
providing high-quality, customized services, leveraging expertise, and maintaining strong relationships with customers through dedicated
support and tailored solutions.
Roshing’s bulk shipping operation services compete
with major bulk shipping companies such as Oldendorff Carriers, Pacific Basin, and Star Bulk Carriers. These companies typically have
large fleets and extensive global networks, enabling them to offer competitive pricing and reliable services. Additionally, they may have
long-term relationships with major industry players and ports, enhancing their operational efficiency.
To compete effectively, Roshing emphasizes efficient
operational management, strong collaboration and coordination with stakeholders, and transparent financial management. By offering personalized
customer service and flexible chartering options, Roshing strives to stand out in the market and build long-term customer loyalty.
Marketing and Promotion Activities
For the six months ended January 31, 2024, Roshing
maintains its marketing and sales team in its corporate office with four employees. Roshing
implements the following strategies when engaging in marketing and customer acquisition:
| · | Market positioning: Roshing targets specific customer demographics, analyzes market segments
and the needs of its target customers, and identifies high-value customer segments. For example, in the shipping/logistics sector
its potential clients include import/export companies, manufacturing enterprises, e-commerce platforms, and distributors for large
logistics companies. In the electronic device hardware trading sector, its clients are typically medium-sized non-Hong Kong traders
and direct hardware and finished product sales brands. In the consulting services sector, its target groups encompass companies with
software technology needs, business owners with domestic and international operations requirements, and clients seeking cross-border
business consulting services. |
| | |
| · | Marketing mix strategies: Roshing develops comprehensive marketing mix strategies, encompassing
product, pricing, and distribution strategies. This involves offering a diverse range of services to meet varying customer needs, devising
reasonable pricing strategies based on customer demands and market competition, and establishing diverse sales channels including direct
and agent sales. |
| · | Customer relationship management: Roshing establishes robust customer relationship management systems
through regular customer communication and satisfaction surveys to understand customer needs and feedback. This enables us to adjust service
strategies promptly, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. |
| | |
| · | Industry resources: Roshing conducts interviews and business introductions targeting potential
customers leveraging the industry resources and customer base accumulated by its management and teams. |
| | |
| · | Digital transformation: Roshing leverages technologies such as big data and customer management
systems for customer data analysis, enabling precision marketing through online channels like social media and e-commerce platforms. This

future plans include increasing customer acquisition through social media, community marketing, website content, and participation in
thematic exhibitions.
Customers
For the six months ended January 31, 2024, two
customers accounted for 68.4% and 16.9% of the Company’s total revenues. Both of them belong to the logistics business section.
For the six months ended January 31, 2023, four customers accounted for 23.3% 26.9%, 16.2% and 13.4% of the Company’s total revenues.
Roshing’s customer structure varies according
to its various business sectors.
Global Logistics Business
Roshing’s customer structure in the shipping
and logistics business is highly diversified and encompasses various entities:
| · | Cargo Owners: These are businesses or individuals requiring the transportation of goods. They may need
to charter vessels for transporting their cargo. |
| | |
| · | Cargo Agents: These agents are engaged by diverse cargo owners to implement logistics solutions and often
have significant booking demands. |
| | |
| · | Logistics Companies: Regular patrons of shipping companies, these firms offer cargo transportation services
to clients. They collaborate with shipping companies to tailor shipping solutions, coordinating shipping schedules and alternative routes
to meet transportation needs effectively. |
| | |
| · | Ship Brokers: Serving as intermediaries between shipowners and carriers, ship brokers work with shipping
companies to arrange vessel leases and transportation services. |
Other Product & Services
Electronic Device Hardware Components Products
Sales & Software Technology Consulting Services
Roshing’s customer structure includes non-Hong
Kong traders, direct traders of hardware components, companies engaged in the assembly and sale of finished products, and private label
entities seeking electronic component procurement and small volume customization.
Business Consulting Services
Roshing’s client mix includes individual
clients seeking policy advice in Hong Kong, and enterprises requiring local business services in Hong Kong and consulting services for
cross-border business operations.
Seasonality
Roshing’s container shipments are influenced
by seasonal factors, with February to April being off-peak seasons, and June to October being peak seasons. Dry bulk cargo is not subject
to seasonal limitations and depends primarily on customer orders. The container logistics business is subject to seasonal influences,
primarily manifested in the seasonality of international shipping, which is mainly reflected in seasonal fluctuations in cargo transportation
volume. For example, in the lead-up to major holidays such as Christmas and Chinese Spring Festival, increased consumer demand often
leads to a short-term surge in cargo transportation volume. Conversely, in the later stages of holidays and traditional off-peak seasons,
cargo transportation volume may significantly decrease. This seasonal variation has a significant impact on shipping companies’
capacity allocation, route scheduling, and pricing strategies.
Roshing has implemented strategies to address
seasonal influences. Seasonal fluctuations can lead to unstable vessel utilization rates, with possible capacity surplus during off-peak
seasons and potential capacity constraints during peak seasons. Shipping companies can balance the effects of seasonal fluctuations by
the number of chartered vessels, optimizing route layouts, signing long-term transportation contracts, and employing pricing strategies
(such as off-peak discounts).

REGULATIONS
Regulations Related to our
Business Operation in Hong Kong
Roshing is Tianci’s subsidiary established
in Hong Kong through which Tianci conducts its operations. As at the date of this prospectus, there was no statutory or mandatory licensing
and qualification system in Hong Kong governing the global logistics services, electronic device hardware components products sales, technical
service of the software and website development and business consulting services provided by Roshing.
Below sets out a summary of certain aspects of
the Hong Kong laws and regulations which are relevant to our operation and business.
Business Registration Ordinance (Chapter
310 of the Laws of Hong Kong)
The Business Registration Ordinance requires every
person carrying on any business to make an application to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue in the prescribed manner for the registration
of that business within one month after the commencement of business. The Commissioner of Inland Revenue must register each business for
which a business registration application is made and as soon as practicable after the prescribed business registration fee and levy are
paid and issue a business registration certificate or branch registration certificate for the relevant business or the relevant branch,
as the case may be. Any person who fails to apply for business registration shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable to a fine
of HK$5,000 and to imprisonment for 1 year.
Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Chapter
486 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the PDPO
The PDPO imposes a statutory duty on data users
to comply with the requirements of the six data protection principles (the “Data Protection Principles”) contained in Schedule
1 to the PDPO. The PDPO provides that a data user shall not do an act, or engage in a practice, that contravenes a Data Protection Principle
unless the act or practice, as the case may be, is required or permitted under the PDPO. The six Data Protection Principles are:
|
· |
Principle 1—purpose and manner of collection of personal data; |
|
· |
Principle 2—accuracy and duration of retention of personal data; |
|
· |
Principle 3—use of personal data; |
|
· |
Principle 4—security of personal data; |
|
· |
Principle 5—information to be generally available; and |
|
· |
Principle 6—access to personal data. |
Non-compliance with a Data Protection Principle
may lead to a complaint to the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (the “Privacy Commissioner”). The Privacy Commissioner
may serve an enforcement notice to direct the data user to remedy the contravention and/ or instigate prosecution actions. A data user
who contravenes an enforcement notice commits an offense which may lead to a fine and imprisonment.
The PDPO also gives data subjects certain
rights, inter alia:
|
· |
the right to be informed by a data user whether
the data user holds personal data of
which the individual is the data subject; |
|
· |
if the data user holds such data, to be supplied with a copy of such data; and |
|
· |
the right to request correction of any data they consider to be inaccurate. |
The PDPO criminalizes, including but not limited
to, the misuse or inappropriate use of personal data in direct marketing activities, non-compliance with a data access
request and the unauthorized disclosure of personal data obtained without the relevant data user’s consent. An individual who suffers
damage, including injured feelings, by reason of a contravention of the PDPO in relation to his or her personal data, may seek compensation
from the data user concerned.
Tortious Duty Under Common Law
Apart from contractual liability, under common
law, services providers also owe a duty of care to customers and may be liable for damage resulting from defects in services caused by
their negligent acts or for any fraudulent misrepresentation made in the provision of services. Any person who undertakes to provide a
service and who negligently performs his work and causes damage to another person or property, will also attract civil liability.
Trade Description Ordinance (Chapter 362
of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the TDO
The TDO aims to protect customers against unfair
trade practices by regulating businesses to sell products and services in a truthful manner. It prohibits false trade descriptions in
respect of services supplied in the course of trade.
Section 7A of the TDO provides that a trader who
applies a false trade description to a service supplied or offered to be supplied to a consumer or supplies or offers to supply to a consumer
a service to which a false trade description is applied, commits an offence.
Sections 13E, 13F, 13G, 13H and 13I of the TDO
provide that a trader who engages in relation to a consumer in a commercial practice that (a) is a misleading omission; or (b) is aggressive;
(c) constitutes bait advertising; (d) constitutes a bait and switch; or (e) constitutes wrongly accepting payment for a product, commits
an offence.
A person who commits an offence under sections
7A, 13E, 13F, 13G, 13H or 13I shall be subject, on conviction on indictment, to a fine of HK$500,000 and to imprisonment for five years,
and on summary conviction, to a fine at HK$100,000 and to imprisonment for two years.
Trade Marks Ordinance (Chapter 559 of the
Laws of Hong Kong), or the TMO
The TMO provides for the registration of trademarks,
the use of registered trademarks and connected matters. Hong Kong provides territorial protection for trademarks. Therefore, trademarks
registered in other countries or regions are not automatically entitled to protection in Hong Kong. In order to enjoy protection by the
laws of Hong Kong, trademarks must be registered with the Trade Marks Registry of the Intellectual Property Department under the Trade
Marks Ordinance and the Trade Marks Rules (Chapter 559A of the Laws of Hong Kong).
According to section 10 of the TMO, a registered
trademark is a property right acquired through due registration under such ordinance. The owner of a registered trademark is entitled
to the rights provided by the ordinance.
By virtue of section 14 of the TMO, the owner
of a registered trademark is conferred exclusive rights in the trademark. The rights of the owner in respect of the registered trademark
come into existence from the date of the registration of the trademark. According to section 48 of such ordinance, the registration date
is the filing date of the application for registration.
Subject to the exceptions in section 19 to section
21 of the TMO, any use of the trademark by third parties without the consent of the owner is an infringement of the trademark. Conducts
which amount to infringement of the registered trademark are further specified in section 18 of the same ordinance.
Copyright Ordinance (Chapter 528 of the
Laws of Hong Kong)
Pursuant to the Copyright Ordinance, a person
may incur civil liability for ’’secondary infringement’’ if that person possesses, sells, distributes or deals
with a copy of a work which is, and which he knows or has reason to believe to be, an infringing copy of the work for the purposes of
or in the course of any trade or business without the consent of the copyright owner.
The Supply of Services (Implied Terms) Ordinance
(Chapter 457 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the SOSO
The SOSO which aims to consolidate and amend the
law with respect to the terms to be implied in contracts for the supply of services (including a contract for the supply of a service
whether or not goods are also transferred or to be transferred, or bailed or to be bailed by way of hire under the contract) provides
that:
| (a) | where the supplier is acting in the course of a business, there is an implied term that the supplier will
carry out the service with reasonable care and skill; and |
| | |
| (b) | where the supplier is acting in the course of a business, the time for service to be carried out is not
fixed by the contract, is not left to be fixed in a manner agreed by the contract or is not determined by the course of dealing between
the parties, there is an implied term that the supplier will carry out the service within a reasonable time. |
Where a supplier is dealing with a party to a
contract for supply of service who deals as a consumer, the supplier cannot, by reference to any contract term, exclude or restrict any
liability of his arising under the contract by virtue of the SOSO. Otherwise, where any right, duty or liability would arise under a contract
for the supply of a service by virtue of the SOSO, it may (subject to the Control of Exemption Clauses Ordinance (Chapter 71 of the Laws
of Hong Kong)) be negatived or varied by express agreement, or by the course of dealing between the parties, or by such usage as binds
both parties to the contract.
The Control of Exemption Clauses Ordinance
(Chapter 71 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the CECO
The CECO, which aims to limit the extent to which
civil liability for breach of contract, or for negligence or other breach of duty, can be avoided by means of contract terms and otherwise,
among others, provides that:
| (a) | under section 7, a person cannot by reference to any contract term or to a notice given to persons generally
or to particular persons exclude or restrict his liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence and in the case of other
loss or damage, a person cannot exclude or restrict his liability for negligence except in so far as the term or notice satisfies the
requirement of reasonableness. |
| (b) | under section 8, as between contracting parties where one of them deals as consumer or on the other’s
written standard terms of business, as against that party, the other cannot by reference to any contract term (i) when himself in breach
of contract, exclude or restrict any liability of his in respect of the breach, or (ii) claim to be entitled to render a contractual performance
substantially different from that which was reasonably expected of him, or (iii) claim to be entitled in respect of the whole or any part
of his contractual obligation, to render no performance at all, except in so far as the contract term satisfies the requirement of reasonableness. |
| (c) | under section 9, a person dealing as a consumer cannot by reference to any contract term be made to indemnify
another person (whether a party to the contract or not) in respect of liability that may be incurred by the other for negligence or breach
of contract, except in so far as the contract term satisfies the requirement of reasonableness; and |
| (d) | under section 11, as against a person dealing as consumer, the liability for breach of the obligations
arising under sections 15, 16 and 17 of the Sales of Goods Ordinance (Chapter 26 of the Laws of Hong Kong) cannot be excluded or restricted
by reference to any contract term, and as against person dealing otherwise than as consumer, the liability arising under sections 15,
16 and 17 of the Sales of Goods Ordinance can be excluded or restricted by reference to a contract term, but only in so far as the terms
satisfy the requirement of reasonableness. |
Sections 7, 8 and 9 of the CECO do not apply to,
among others, any contract so far as it relates to the creation or transfer of a right or interest in any patent, trademark, copyright,
registered design, technical or commercial information or other intellectual property, or relates to the termination of any such right
or interest.
In relation to a contract term, the requirement
of reasonableness for the purpose of the CECO is satisfied only if the court or arbitrator determines that the term was a fair and reasonable
one to be included having regarded to the circumstances which were, or ought reasonably to have been, known to or in the contemplation
of the parties when the contract was made.
Regulations related to employment and labor
protection
Employment Ordinance (Chapter 57 of the
Laws of Hong Kong), or the EO
The EO is an ordinance enacted for, amongst other
things, the protection of the wages of employees and the regulation of the general conditions of employment and employment agencies. Under
the EO, an employee is generally entitled to, amongst other things, notice of termination of his or her employment contract; payment in
lieu of notice; maternity protection in the case of a pregnant employee; not less than one rest day in every period of seven days; severance
payments or long service payments; sickness allowance; statutory holidays or alternative holidays; and paid annual leave depending on
the period of employment.
Employees’ Compensation Ordinance
(Chapter 282 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the ECO
The ECO is an ordinance enacted for the purpose
of providing for the payment of compensation to employees injured in the course of employment.
The ECO establishes a no-fault and non-contributory
employee compensation system for work injuries and lays down the rights and obligations of employers and employees in respect of injuries
or death caused by accidents arising out of and in the course of employment, or by prescribed occupational diseases.
As stipulated by the ECO, no employer shall employ
any employee in any employment unless there is in force in relation to such employee a policy of insurance issued by an insurer for an
amount not less than the applicable amount specified in the Fourth Schedule of the ECO in respect of the liability of the employer. According
to the Fourth Schedule of the ECO, the insured amount shall be not less than HKD100,000,000 (approximately $13,000,000) per event if a
company has no more than 200 employees. Any employer who contravenes this requirement commits a criminal offence and is liable on conviction
to a fine and imprisonment. An employer who has taken out an insurance policy under the ECO is required to display a prescribed notice
of insurance in a conspicuous place on each of its premises where any employee is employed.
Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance
(Chapter 485 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the MPFSO
The MPFSO is an ordinance enacted for the purposes
of providing for the establishment of non-governmental mandatory provident fund schemes, or the MPF Schemes. The MPFSO requires every
employer of an employee of 18 years of age or above but under 65 years of age to take all practical steps to ensure the employee becomes
a member of a registered MPF Scheme within the first 60 days of employment. Subject to the minimum and maximum relevant income levels,
it is mandatory for both employers and their employees to contribute 5% of the employee’s relevant income to the MPF Scheme. Any
employer who contravenes the requirement of enrolling eligible employees in a registered MPF Scheme or the requirement of paying mandatory
contributions to the MPF Schemes commits a criminal offence and is liable on conviction to a fine and imprisonment.
Minimum Wage Ordinance (Chapter 608 of the
Laws of Hong Kong), or the MWO
The MWO provides a prescribed minimum hourly wage
rate (currently at HK$40 per hour) during the wage period for every employee engaged under a contract of employment under the EO. Any
provision of the employment contract which purports to extinguish or reduce the right, benefit or protection conferred on the employee
by the MWO is void.
Failure to pay minimum wage amounts to a breach
of the wage provisions under EO. An employer who willfully and without reasonable excuse fails to pay wages to an employee when it becomes
due commits a criminal offence and is liable on conviction to a fine and imprisonment.
Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance
(Chapter 509 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or the OSHO
The OSHO aims to ensure the safety and health
of employees when they are at work. Under the OSHO, an employer must ensure the safety and health of his workplace by (i) providing and
maintaining plant and work systems that are safe and without risks to health, (ii) making arrangement for ensuring safety and health in
connection with the use, handling, storage or transport of plant or substances, (iii) providing all necessary information, instruction,
training and supervision for ensuring safety and health, (iv) providing and maintaining safe access to and egress from the workplace,
and (v) providing and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment. An employer who fails to comply with the above may be liable on
conviction to a fine and imprisonment, if he did so intentionally, knowingly or recklessly.
Occupational Safety and Health Regulation
(Chapter 509A of the Laws of Hong Kong)
The Occupational Safety and Health Regulation
(Chapter 509A of the Laws of Hong Kong) further sets out basic requirements for accident prevention, fire precaution, workplace environment
control, hygiene at workplaces, first aid, as well as what employers and employees are expected to do in manual handling operations.
Occupiers Liability Ordinance (Chapter 314
of the Laws of Hong Kong)
The Occupiers Liability Ordinance regulates the
obligations of a person occupying or having control of premises on injury resulting to persons or damage caused to goods or other property
lawfully on the land. The Occupiers Liability Ordinance imposes a common duty of care on an occupier of premises to take such care as
in all the circumstances of the case is reasonable to see that the visitors will be reasonably safe in using the premises for the purposes
for which he is invited or permitted by the occupier to be there.
For the risk factor concerning regulations related
to employment and labor protection, please see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong — Increases in labor costs in Hong Kong and non-compliance with laws and regulations relating to employment and labor protection may adversely affect the business of Roshing and our results of operations.”
Regulations related to Hong Kong Taxation
Inland Revenue Ordinance (Chapter 112
of the Laws of Hong Kong)
Under the Inland Revenue
Ordinance, where an employer commences to employ in Hong Kong an individual who is or is likely to be chargeable to tax, or any married
person, the employer shall give a written notice to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue not later than three months after the date of commencement
of such employment. Where an employer ceases or is about to cease to employ in Hong Kong an individual who is or is likely to be chargeable
to tax, or any married person, the employer shall give a written notice to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue not later than one month
before such individual ceases to be employed in Hong Kong, provided that a shorter notice may be accepted if deemed reasonable.
Tax on dividends
Based on the current
practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by Roshing.
Capital gains and
profits tax
The Inland Revenue Ordinance
provides, among other things, that profits tax shall be charged on every person carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong
in respect of his or her assessable profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong. Roshing is currently subject to the two-tiered profits
tax regime according to Hong Kong tax rules and regulations.
The two-tier profits
tax rates system of Hong Kong became effective since the assessment year 2018/2019. Under the two-tier profit tax rates regime, the profits
tax rate for the first HKD2 million (approximately US$260,000) of assessable profits of a corporation will be subject to the lowered tax
rate, 8.25%, while the remaining assessable profits will be subject to the legacy tax rate, 16.5%.
No tax is imposed in
Hong Kong in respect of capital gains from the sale of shares. However, trading gains from the sale of shares by persons carrying on a
trade, profession or business in Hong Kong, where such gains are derived from or arise in Hong Kong, will be subject to Hong Kong profits
tax.
Stamp Duty Ordinance
(Chapter 117 of the Laws of Hong Kong)
Under the Stamp Duty
Ordinance (Chapter 117 of the Laws of Hong Kong), a total of 0.2% of the higher of the consideration for or market value of the shares
is currently payable on a typical sale and purchase transaction of Hong Kong shares. In addition, a fixed duty of HKD5 is currently payable
on any instrument of transfer of Hong Kong shares. If no stamp duty is paid on or before the due date, a penalty of up to ten times the
duty payable may be imposed.
Estate duty
Hong Kong estate duty was abolished effective
from February 11, 2006. No Hong Kong estate duty is payable by Roshing’s stockholders in relation to the shares owned by them upon
death.

Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 26, 2023 and which is incorporated into this prospectus by reference.
Liquidation
Upon the liquidation, dissolution
and winding up of the Corporation, the holder of each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the net
assets of the Corporation, before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any other class of stock, the sum of One Cent ($0.01) per
share, after which the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall share in the distribution with the holders of the common stock on a pari
passu basis, except that in determining the appropriate distribution of available cash among the stockholders, each share of Series A
Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into the number of shares of the Corporation’s common stock into which that
holder’s Series A Preferred Stock could be converted on the record date for the distribution.
Voting
Each share of Series A Preferred
Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to cast on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation that number of
votes which equals the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible on
the record date for the stockholder action.
Conversion
Any shares of Series A Preferred
Stock may, at any time, at the option of the holder, be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock (a “Conversion”).
The number of shares of common stock to which a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon a Conversion shall be the product
obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted by one hundred (100).
Consolidation, Merger,
etc. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, reorganization, or other transaction in which the shares
of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the
Conversion Rights of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be modified such that upon Conversion of a share of Series A Preferred
Stock the holder shall receive the product of the Adjustment Number times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other
property (payable in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of common stock is changed or exchanged.
Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. At any time or times the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of
the Series A Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of the Corporation’s
stock, whether by recapitalization, combination, consolidation, reverse stock split, reclassification or otherwise, the Adjustment Number
shall be changed proportionately to the change in the number of shares of common stock resulting from the recapitalization, reclassification
or other change.
Fractional Shares.
The Corporation shall not, nor shall it cause its transfer agent to, issue any fraction of a share of common stock upon any conversion.
If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of common stock, the Corporation shall round, or cause the Transfer
Agent to round, such fraction of a share of common stock up to the nearest whole share.
Dividend Payable in
Shares of Stock
In the event the Corporation
shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on common stock payable in shares of common stock, then the Adjustment Number in effect
immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of common stock
that were outstanding immediately prior to such event
As
of the date of this prospectus, all shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been converted into 8,000,000 shares of common stock, and
no shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding.

of the number of shares of common stock into which the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible. Upon liquidation of the Company, each
