EXPLANATORY NOTE
Waton Financial Limited (the “Company”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form F-1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment No. 1”) to update its Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-291557) (the “Registration Statement”), originally filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 14, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on December 31, 2025, to include the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2025, and to update certain other information contained herein.
The information included in this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 amends the Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein. No additional securities are being registered under this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and no securities have been sold under the Registration Statement. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of the Registration Statement on November 14, 2025.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell the securities until the registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting any offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where such offer or sale is not permitted.
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED MARCH 2, 2026
Up to 5,359,719 Ordinary Shares
graphic
Waton Financial Limited
We are offering in a best-efforts self-underwritten offering up to 5,359,719 ordinary shares, no par value per share (“Ordinary Shares”). We assume the public offering price to be $5.03 per share, which is the closing market price of our Ordinary Shares as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on February 27, 2026.
The offering price for our securities in this offering will be determined at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the then current market price or to the assumed price set forth above. The assumed offering price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price. The final public offering price will be determined through negotiation between us and investors based upon a number of factors, including our history and our prospects, the industry in which we operate, our past and present operating results, the previous experience of our executive officers and the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering.
Our Ordinary Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “WTF.” On February 27, 2026, the closing trading price of our Ordinary Shares, as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market, was $5.03 per Ordinary Share.
Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell a number of securities sufficient to pursue the business goals outlined in this prospectus. Because there is no minimum offering amount, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our Company, but we are unable to fulfill our objectives due to a lack of interest in this offering. Also, any proceeds from the sale of securities offered by us will be available for our immediate use, despite uncertainty about whether we would be able to use such funds to effectively implement our business plan. See “Risk Factors” on page 12 of this prospectus and “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 24, 2025 for more information. We intend to complete one closing of this offering but may undertake one or more additional closings for the sale of the additional securities to the investors in the initial closing. We expect to hold an initial closing on [•], 2026, but the offering will be terminated by [•], 2026, provided that the closing(s) of the offering for all of the Ordinary Shares have not occurred by such termination date, which date may be extended by us. Any extensions or material changes to the terms of the offering will be contained in an amendment to this prospectus.
We are offering the securities on a best-efforts basis. There is currently no underwriter or placement agent engaged in connection with this offering. Our officers and directors may participate in the offering of the securities on our behalf and intend to rely on the safe harbor from broker-dealer registration set forth in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Such persons will not receive any commissions or other transaction-based compensation in connection with their participation in this offering. From time to time, we may engage appropriately licensed broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries in non-U.S. jurisdictions, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, to assist in introducing the offering to potential investors located outside the United States and facilitating communications with such investors. Any such activities will be conducted in accordance with applicable securities laws.
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under applicable U.S. federal securities laws and are, therefore, eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Prospectus Summary — Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company” and “Risk Factors” in this prospectus for more information.
We are a BVI business company, limited by shares, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Under the rules of the SEC, we currently qualify for treatment as a “foreign private issuer.” As a foreign private issuer, we will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, as frequently or as promptly as domestic registrants whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. We are a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards and currently rely on the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “foreign private issuer” under the Nasdaq listing standards. Please read “Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer” beginning on page 7 of this prospectus for more information.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Investors purchasing securities in this offering are purchasing securities of Waton Financial Limited, a British Virgin Islands holding company, rather than the securities of Waton Financial Limited’s subsidiaries that conduct substantive business operations primarily in Hong Kong. Waton Financial Limited is not a Hong Kong operating company, but is rather a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Waton Financial Limited has no material operations of its own, and conducts substantive business operations through its subsidiaries primarily based in Hong Kong. Our subsidiaries are controlled by Waton Financial Limited through equity ownership. For a description of our corporate structure, see “Corporate History and Structure” of this prospectus. Investors in this offering may never directly hold any equity interests in Waton Financial Limited’s subsidiaries that conduct substantive business operations primarily in Hong Kong.
As used in this prospectus, references to “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company” refer to Waton Financial Limited, the British Virgin Islands business company that will issue securities of this offering and when the financial results of Waton Financial Limited are described, also include its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “WSI” are to Waton Securities International Limited and references to “WTI” are to Waton Technology International Limited; WSI and WTI being Waton Financial Limited’s subsidiaries that primarily conduct substantive business operations in Hong Kong. References to “WTF Technology” are to WTF Technology (Hangzhou) Co. Ltd., a limited liability company which is 100% owned by WTI and was incorporated in Hangzhou City, Mainland China on February 10, 2026.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of losing your entire investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12 of this prospectus and “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report to read about factors you should consider before buying our securities.
Waton Financial Limited is a British Virgin Islands holding company with no material operations of its own and conducts its operations primarily in Hong Kong through its subsidiaries, including WSI and WTI. Waton Financial Limited holds equity interests in its subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Mainland China, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands. Investors are purchasing the securities of Waton Financial Limited, a British Virgin Islands holding company, and not the securities of its subsidiaries. This corporate structure involves unique risks to investors. As a holding company, Waton Financial Limited may rely on dividends from its subsidiaries for cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to its shareholders. The subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to Waton Financial Limited may be restricted by the debt the subsidiaries incur on their own behalf or laws and regulations applicable to them. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares — We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments may restrict our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders” in our 2025 Annual Report.
We and our subsidiaries face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties associated with being based, or having the majority of the operations, in Hong Kong. Our subsidiaries are headquartered in Hong Kong. However, since a minimal portion of our subsidiaries’ customers are Mainland China nationals and one of our subsidiaries operates in Mainland China as a cost center, we and our subsidiaries may become subject to certain PRC laws and regulations as they continue to evolve, and we and our subsidiaries 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 apply to us and our subsidiaries. PRC laws and regulations are sometimes evolving rapidly, and as a result, to the extent that any PRC laws and regulations become applicable to us and/or our subsidiaries in the future, we and/or our subsidiaries may experience material changes in operations, restrictions in our subsidiaries’ ability to accept foreign investments and/or our ability to list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, significant depreciation of the value of our securities, a complete hindrance of our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors, or the value of such securities may significantly decline or be worthless. For example, if the recent regulatory actions of the PRC government on data security or other data-related laws and regulations were to apply to us and/or our subsidiaries, we and/or our subsidiaries could become subject to certain cybersecurity and data privacy obligations, including the potential requirement to conduct a cybersecurity review for our public offerings on a foreign stock exchange, and the failure to meet such obligations could result in penalties and other regulatory actions against us and/or our subsidiaries and may materially and adversely affect our subsidiaries’ business and our results of operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the Jurisdiction in which our Subsidiaries Operate — If we and our subsidiaries were to be required to comply with cybersecurity, data privacy, data protection, or any other PRC laws and regulations related thereto and we and our subsidiaries are unable to comply with such PRC laws and regulations, our financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.” We believe that we are not currently required to obtain permission from or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

complete any filing procedures with the PRC government to list on a U.S. securities exchange and consummate this offering; however, there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case in the future in relation to the continued listing of our securities on a securities exchange outside of Mainland China, or even when or if such permission is obtained or such filing is completed, it will not be subsequently denied or rescinded. On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies, or the Trial Measures, and five supporting guidelines, which took effect on March 31, 2023. Based on the opinion of our counsel as to PRC laws, Global Law Office, at the time of our initial public offering, we were not subject to the Trial Measures. However, due to the establishment and operation of our PRC subsidiary, there exists uncertainty with respect to the further implementation and interpretation of the principle of “substance over form” and we may be subject to the Trial Measures in the future. If we later find out that we and/or our subsidiaries were to be required to obtain any permission or approval from or were required to complete any filing procedure with the CSRC, the Cyberspace Administration of China (the “CAC”), or other PRC governmental authorities in connection with this offering under PRC law, we and/or our subsidiaries may be fined or subject to other sanctions, and our subsidiaries’ business and our reputation, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the Jurisdiction in which our Subsidiaries Operate — If we were to be required to obtain any permission or approval from or complete any filing procedures with the CSRC, the CAC, or other PRC governmental authorities in connection with this offering under the PRC laws, we may be fined or subject to other sanctions.”
Furthermore, the PRC government may influence the Hong Kong operations of an offshore holding company, such as those of our subsidiaries, at any time. These risks could hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities, result in a material adverse change to our subsidiaries’ business operations, and damage our reputation, which could cause our securities 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 our subsidiaries’ business operations, see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in the Jurisdiction in which our Subsidiaries Operate — We and our subsidiaries face uncertainties arising from the possible revision regarding the interpretation and implementation of current and any future PRC laws and regulations related to part of our subsidiaries’ business operations” in our 2025 Annual Report.
We also may face risks relating to the lack of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) inspection on our auditor, which may cause our securities to be delisted from a U.S. stock exchange in the future under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor for two consecutive years. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, and on December 29, 2022, legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”) was signed into law by President Biden, which contained, among other things, an identical provision to Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and amended the HFCAA 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 delisting or the cessation of trading of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted or prohibited from being traded, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. On December 16, 2021, the PCAOB issued a report to notify the SEC its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong, respectively, and identifies the registered public accounting firms in Mainland China and Hong Kong that are subject to such determinations. The auditor of the Company, UHY LLP, is not among the auditor firms listed on the determination list issued by the PCAOB, which notes all of the auditor firms that the PCAOB is not able to inspect. UHY LLP is an independent registered public accounting firm with the PCAOB headquartered in the United States, having its last inspection report dated in March 2025. On August 26, 2022, the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, and the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol, or the Protocol, governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong. Pursuant to the fact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC, the PCAOB shall have independent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigation and has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary. However, should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOB’s access in the future, the PCAOB will consider the need to issue a new determination. Our securities may be delisted or prohibited from trading if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely our auditor under the HFCAA. See “Item 3. Key

Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares — Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted or prohibited from being traded over-the-counter under the HFCAA if the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely the Company’s auditor for two consecutive years” in our 2025 Annual Report.
Since the incorporation of our British Virgin Islands holding company, with the exception of funds received for daily operational purposes from Mr. Zhou Kai, our Chairman of the Board, Director, Chief Technology Officer and a shareholder who owns more than 5% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the date of this prospectus, no cash flows have occurred between our holding company and our subsidiaries, except for the provision of a capital contributions to WSI by the Company in the amount of (i) US$1 million during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, (ii) US$5.1 million in November 2024, and (iii) US$18.0 million in April 2025. Currently, we do not intend to have our holding company distribute dividends in the future and we do not have a fixed dividend policy. Our board of directors has complete discretion on whether to distribute dividends, subject to applicable laws. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares and This Offering — Because the amount, timing, and whether or not we distribute dividends at all is entirely at the discretion of our board of directors, you must rely on price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares for return on your investment” in our 2025 Annual Report. If needed, cash can be transferred between our holding company and subsidiaries through intercompany fund advances, and there are currently no restrictions of transferring funds between our British Virgin Islands holding company and our subsidiaries in the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong. However, our ability to transfer cash in and expatriate cash out of the PRC is subject to foreign exchange control requirements in the PRC. We rely in part on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries in Hong Kong for our cash and financing requirements, such as the funds necessary to service any debt we may incur. Any such controls or restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividends or other distributions to our shareholders. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares and This Offering — We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments may restrict our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders” in our 2025 Annual Report.
Following the completion of this offering, our largest shareholder, WATON CORPORATION LIMITED, will beneficially own approximately 76.46% of the aggregate voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. As such, we will be deemed a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards. We currently do not intend to rely on the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq listing standards. However, we may avail ourselves of such exemptions in the future. See “Prospectus Summary – Controlled Company” and “Management.”

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Investors are cautioned that you are buying shares of a British Virgin Islands holding company without operations of its own.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information and financial statements incorporated by reference in this prospectus. In addition to this summary, we urge you to read the entire prospectus carefully, especially the risks of investing in our securities, discussed under “Risk Factors” and “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report before deciding whether to invest in our securities. The reader should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements in this document, which speak only as of the date on the cover of this prospectus.
Overview
We are a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. We are a provider of securities brokerage and financial technology services primarily through our Hong Kong subsidiaries, Waton Securities International Limited, or WSI, and Waton Technology International Limited, or WTI.
WSI is principally engaged in the provision of (i) securities brokerage services for securities listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, including shares under the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq Stock Market, margin financing services and other ancillary services through WSI’s electronic trading platform to its corporate and individual brokerage customers and bond distribution services; and (ii) software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services including the licensing of trading platform APP, upgrades and enhancements, maintenance and other related services (“M&S”) to financial institutions. Since September 2023, WTI has provided software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services in order to focus on the expertise of operations and service areas. WSI has developed and provided Broker Cloud solutions to securities brokers with the combination of software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services, securities brokerage services, margin financing services and other related services, where securities broker customers are provided with a perpetual on-premise licensed trading platform APP and optional related support services, with the front-, middle- and back-office operation functions and securities trading function where securities trading orders can be cleared and settled through WSI.
Founded in 1989, WSI is an established integrated securities broker in the Hong Kong financial services industry. WSI is licensed to conduct Type 1 (dealing in securities), Type 4 (advising on securities), Type 5 (advising on futures contracts) and Type 9 (asset management) regulated activities under HKSFO in Hong Kong. WSI is a Hong Kong Stock Exchange participant and holds one Hong Kong Stock Exchange trading right. WSI provides securities brokerage services through WSI’s integrated electronic trading platform, which is easy to access, use, and deposit to WSI’s customers. The trading platform can be accessed through WSI’s APP, which provides WSI’s customers with a seamless and secured trading experience. WSI offers its customers comprehensive brokerage and value-added services, including trade order placement and execution, account management, and customer support. WSI further provides its customers with market data, news and research, so as to help them make well-informed investment decisions. WSI has accumulated a corporate and individual customer base across the globe, including a securities brokerage company in New Zealand known as Wealth Guardian Investment Limited (“WGI”), which is a related party of the Company. We have historically derived a substantial portion of revenues from WGI, which accounted for 64.2%, 39.5% and 81.5% of our total revenues in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and approximately 36.6% and 68.0% of our total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. WGI was a significant customer in our recent financial reporting periods, however, effective in October 2025, WGI ceased being our customer. We anticipate that another New Zealand incorporated customer may contribute substantial revenue in the near future, but we can provide no assurance as of the date of this prospectus that any such entity will do so at the same level as WGI historically has or will contribute in a manner that will offset the loss of WGI sufficient to impact future results.
See “Related Party Transactions,” “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Subsidiaries’ Business and Industry” in our 2025 Annual Report and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Subsidiaries’ Business and Industry — We have historically derived a substantial portion of revenue from WGI, a single related party customer. The recent loss of WGI as a substantial customer will have an adverse impact on our revenues in the near term if it is not replaced with one or more customers that generate the same volume of revenues, which could materially and adversely affect our

financial results.” By capitalizing on its customer base, WSI commenced to provide bond distribution services by acting as a manager, a placement agent or a non-syndicate capital market intermediary, to procure subscribers to subscribe and pay for bonds in principal amounts during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, WSI had more than 10,000 securities brokerage customers who opened trading accounts with WSI, 90 of which are corporate customers who opened corporate accounts and 12 of which are introducing broker customers who opened omnibus accounts. The remaining portion of the securities brokerage customers are individual customers who opened individual accounts and typically trade through WSI’s trading platform APP. As of the same date, WSI had approximately 1,300 active customers, who were registered customers with assets in their trading accounts. We generate brokerage and commission income from WSI’s securities brokerage, bond distribution and other ancillary services and interest income from WSI’s margin financing services. Our brokerage and commission income and interest income amounted to approximately US$5.5 million, US$9.4 million, and US$2.3 million, and accounted for approximately 74.4%, 93.4% and 39.9% of our total revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and amounted to approximately US$5.1 million and US$1.8 million, and accounted for approximately 84.0% and 61.3% of our total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Leveraging on WSI’s accumulated industry knowledge on the needs of small and medium-sized securities brokers and operational experience in online brokerage over the years, WSI started to develop the provision of fintech solutions in trading platform APP software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services targeting the securities brokers and securities-related financial institutions in April 2021. WSI provides one-stop, integrated and customized software solutions to develop trading platform APP that cover the front-, middle- and back-office operations of securities brokerage business such as electronic trade order placing, customer relationship management and operational data management, in addition to the business-to-business securities order clearing and settlement services provided by WSI in the Broker Cloud solutions, which enables the securities broker customers to digitalize and streamline their business operations, and interact with the financial market more efficiently. As of September 30, 2025, WTI provided software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services to a total of 3 securities brokers and securities-related financial institutions, including WGI, which is a related party of the Company. See “Related Party Transactions” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Subsidiaries’ Business and Industry — We have historically derived a substantial portion of revenue from WGI, a single related party customer. The recent loss of WGI as a substantial customer will have an adverse impact on our revenues in the near term if it is not replaced with one or more customers that generate the same volume of revenues, which could materially and adversely affect our financial results.” We generate software licensing and related support service income from WSI’s and WTI’s software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services, which amounted to approximately US$1.8 million, US$1.4 million, and US$3.5 million, and accounted for approximately 24.2%, 13.7% and 60.1% of our total revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and amounted to approximately US$0.7 million and US$1.1 million, and accounted for approximately 10.8% and 38.7% of our total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. WSI and WTI have outsourced the software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services to Shenzhen Jinhui Technology Co., Ltd., which was a related party of the Company. See “Related Party Transactions” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Subsidiaries’ Business and Industry — WSI and WTI are dependent on a single supplier, Shenzhen Jinhui Technology Co., Ltd., an information technology company, for providing software development and related support services.”
Our revenues increased by approximately 106.3% to approximately US$6.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025 from approximately US$3.0 million for the same period in 2024. Our revenues decreased by approximately 25.9% from approximately US$10.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 to approximately US$7.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Our revenues grew by approximately 75.2% from approximately US$5.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 to approximately US$10.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Approximately 64.2%, 39.5% and 81.5% of the total revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, and approximately 36.6% and 68.0% of our total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were derived from WGI, a related party of the Company. Our net loss was approximately US$12.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared to net income of approximately US$2.5 million and US$3.1 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our net loss was approximately US$8.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2025, compared to approximately US$1.1 million for the same period in 2024. Our adjusted net loss, which excludes share-based compensation expenses and its related income tax effects, was approximately US$3.2 million for the fiscal year ended

Our Corporate Structure
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands with limited liability. The Company holds equity interests in its subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Mainland China, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands. Investors are purchasing the securities of the Company, a British Virgin Islands holding company, and not in its subsidiaries. This corporate structure involves unique risks to investors. As a holding company, the Company may rely on dividends from its subsidiaries for cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to its shareholders. The subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to the Company may be restricted by the debt the subsidiaries incur on their own or laws and regulations applicable to them. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares— We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments may restrict our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividends or other distributions to our shareholders” in our 2025 Annual Report.
The Company owns 100% of the issued shares of Waton Securities International Limited (“WSI”), a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong on April 28, 1989, 100% of the issued shares of Waton Technology International Limited (“WTI”), a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong on February 24, 2023, 100% of the issued shares of Waton Sponsor Limited (“WSL”), a BVI business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on September 7, 2023, and 100% of the issued shares of Descart Limited (“Descart”), a stock corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 23, 2024.
WSI owns 100% of the issued shares of Infast Asset Management Co., Limited (“IAM”), a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong on October 30, 2012, and 100% of the issued management shares of Waton Investment Global SPC (“WIG SPC”), an exempted segregated portfolio company incorporated in Cayman Islands on May 12, 2022.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

WTI owns 100% of the issued shares of WTF Technology, a limited liability company incorporated under the PRC laws on February 10, 2026.
Waton Sponsor Limited owns 100% of the issued shares of Love & Health Limited (“L&H”), an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on October 3, 2023.
Furthermore, WSL, IAM, Descart, WIG SPC, WTF Technology, and L&H are incorporated for the purpose of expanding our service offerings and in alignment with our long-term development plan. As of the date of this prospectus, the following subsidiaries have commenced their activities: (i) WSI, through WIG SPC, has set up five segregated portfolios under WIG SPC to develop WSI’s asset management business, among which, two segregated portfolios have been launched; and (ii) WSL has engaged in the formation and sponsorship of L&H, being a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”), as well as the proposed initial public offering of the securities of L&H. As of the date of this prospectus, IAM, Descart, WTF Technology, and L&H have minimal operations. WTF Technology is intended to operate as a technical support and R&D center, functioning as a cost center.
In order to explore business opportunities and expand the business of the Company, in February 2024, WSI, through equity method investment at the cost of RMB5,500,000 (equivalent to approximately US$770,000), acquired a 55% interest in LeFeng Hainan Private Equity Fund Management Limited (“LeFeng”), a limited liability company established in the PRC, which company is not our subsidiary, as WSI does not have the requisite voting power of two thirds or more to control such company pursuant to LeFeng’s articles of association and cannot remove the existing sole director appointed by the other shareholder holding a 45% equity interest without cause. According to LeFeng’s articles of association, which regulate the management and operation of LeFeng, the intended business scope of LeFeng includes private equity investment fund management and venture capital fund management services (subject to the completion of registration filing with the relevant PRC regulatory authorities). In view of the prolonged timeframe and uncertainty for LeFeng to complete the requisite regulatory filing and commence its intended business, on October 10, 2024, WSI and the sole director of LeFeng (the “Purchaser”) entered into a share transfer agreement, pursuant to which WSI agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the 55% equity interest in LeFeng for a consideration of HK$7,000,000 (equivalent to approximately US$900,000) (the “Divestment”). The Divestment was completed during the six months ended September 30, 2025. The Divestment presents an opportunity for WSI to realize its investment and focus its resources on its current business.
In February 2025, WSI, through equity method investment at the cost of US$20,000, acquired a 40% interest in MW Technology Development Limited (“MW Technology”), a BVI business company, which is a joint venture established with MOG Digitech Holdings Limited (“MOG Digitech”) to collaboratively develop a trading desk for digital currency financial securities. MOG Digitech is an investment holding company whose shares are listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (with stock code: 1942). MOG Digitech and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in digital payment solutions-related business, sales of optical products, and franchise and license management. As of the date of this prospectus, payment for the investment has not been made, and MW Technology does not have any material operations.

Our Securities
On April 1, 2025, our Ordinary Shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “WTF.” On April 2, 2025, we closed our initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 4,375,000 Ordinary Shares at a public offering price of $4.00 per share. Gross proceeds of our IPO totaled approximately US$17.45 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and other offering-related expenses. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company also issued and sold an additional 656,250 Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters in connection with the IPO, at the public offering price of US$4.00 per share. As a result, the Company raised additional gross proceeds of US$2.63 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses.
Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the number of Ordinary Shares to be outstanding after this offering are based on 53,597,191 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, excluding the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon vesting of our outstanding restricted share units as of the date of this prospectus.
Transfers of Cash to and from Our Subsidiaries
Waton Financial Limited is a holding company with no operations of its own. It conducts its operations primarily in Hong Kong through its subsidiaries. As a holding company, Waton Financial Limited may rely on dividends or payments to be paid by its subsidiaries in Hong Kong to fund its cash and financing requirements, including for the provision of funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders and U.S. investors, and to service any debt we may incur and to pay our operating expenses. If our subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.
Waton Financial Limited is permitted under the laws of BVI to provide funding to its subsidiaries through loans or capital contributions without restrictions on the amount of the funds, subject to complying with applicable laws (including with respect to economic substance). Our subsidiaries are also permitted under the laws of Hong Kong to provide funding to Waton Financial Limited, through dividend distributions or payments, without restrictions on the amount of the funds.
There are no restrictions or limitations on our ability to distribute earnings by dividends from our subsidiaries, and our shareholders and U.S. investors, provided that the entity remains solvent after such distribution. Subject to the BVI Companies Act and our memorandum and articles of association, our board of directors may authorize and
5

TABLE OF CONTENTS

declare a dividend to shareholders at such time and of such an amount as they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately following the dividend payment, the value of our assets will exceed our liabilities and we will be able to pay our debts as they become due. According to the Companies Ordinance of Hong Kong, a Hong Kong company may only make a distribution out of profits available for distribution. Other than the above, we did not adopt or maintain any cash management policies and procedures as of the date of this prospectus. There is no further BVI or Hong Kong statutory restriction on the amount of funds which may be distributed by us by dividend payments.
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 us. See “Item 4. Information on the Company — B. Business Overview — Regulations — Regulations Related to our Business Operation in Hong Kong — Regulations related to Hong Kong taxation” in our 2025 Annual Report.
As of the date of this prospectus, there are no restrictions or limitations under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HK$ into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong or across borders and to U.S. investors. China is a country with foreign exchange controls. Therefore, any foreign currency payment to Chinese enterprises, including funds paid by overseas shareholders to their wholly foreign-owned enterprises, must comply with China's foreign exchange administration regulations. As our PRC subsidiary will function as a cost center for technical support and R&D activities, we believe the PRC subsidiary will not generate profits or have any dividends to expatriate out of China. Currently, the majority of our operations are in Hong Kong through our Hong Kong subsidiaries. Since 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 of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, or the Basic Law, providing 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”. The PRC laws and regulations do not currently have any material impact on transfer of cash from Waton Financial Limited to our Hong Kong subsidiaries or from our Hong Kong subsidiaries to Waton Financial Limited and the investors in the U.S. However, there is no assurance that any of the above will remain the same. If any of the above changes in the future, the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments may be restricted and our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders may be adversely affected. 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 subsidiaries 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 the way we or our subsidiaries conduct 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 required to be implemented, our and our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected and such measures could materially decrease the value of our securities, potentially rendering them worthless.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares. We do not have any present plan to pay any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares in the foreseeable future after this offering. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not presently plan to pay any dividends out of our retained earnings. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares — We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments may restrict our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders” in our 2025 Annual Report.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We had less than $1.235 billion in annual gross revenue during our last fiscal year. As a result, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and may take advantage of reduced public reporting requirements. These provisions include, but are not limited to:
being permitted to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting;
reduced disclosure regarding executive compensation in periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and
exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
We may take advantage of these provisions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to this offering. However, if certain events occur before the end of such five-year period, including if we become a “large accelerated filer,” if our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion or if we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt in any three-year period, we will cease to be an emerging growth company before the end of such five-year period.
Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for complying with new or revised accounting standards.
Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer
We report under the Exchange Act, as a non-U.S. company with “foreign private issuer” status. Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, so long as we qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:
the rules under the Exchange Act that require U.S. domestic public companies to issue financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP;
sections of the Exchange Act that regulate the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of any securities registered under the Exchange Act;
sections of the Exchange Act that impose liability on insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time; and
the rules under the Exchange Act that require the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, containing unaudited financial and other specified information, and current reports on Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events.
We are required to file with the SEC, within four months after the end of each fiscal year (or such other reports required by the SEC), an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.
We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States.
Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies are also exempt from certain of the more extensive SEC executive compensation disclosure rules. Therefore, if we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company but remain a foreign private issuer, we will continue to be exempt from such rules and will continue to be permitted to follow our home country practice as to the disclosure of such matters.
In addition, Our Company is considered a “foreign private issuer” under Nasdaq listing rules. Nasdaq listing rules include certain accommodations in the corporate governance requirements that allow foreign private issuers, such as our Company, to follow “home country” corporate governance practices in lieu of the otherwise applicable corporate
7

TABLE OF CONTENTS

governance standards of Nasdaq. The application of such exceptions requires that we disclose each Nasdaq corporate governance standard that we do not follow and describe the British Virgin Islands corporate governance practices we do follow in lieu of the relevant Nasdaq corporate governance standard. We follow British Virgin Islands corporate governance practices in lieu of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq in respect of the following:
the majority independent director requirement under Section 5605(b)(1) of the Nasdaq listing rules;
the requirement under Section 5605(b)(2) of the Nasdaq listing rules that the independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings with only the independent directors present; and
the requirements under Section 5635 of the Nasdaq listing rules that shareholder approval will be required for (i) certain acquisitions of stock or assets of another company; (ii) an issuance of shares that will result in a change of control of the company; (iii) the establishment or amendment of certain equity based compensation plans and arrangements; and (iv) certain transactions (other than a public offering) involving issuances of 20% or more of our outstanding shares.
British Virgin Islands law does not impose a requirement that our board of directors consist of a majority of independent directors or that such independent directors meet regularly without other members present.
The Company intends to avail itself of these exemptions. Therefore, for as long as the Company remains a “foreign private issuer,” the Company will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. See “Item 16G. Corporate Governance” in our 2025 Annual Report.
Controlled Company
Upon completion of this offering, our largest shareholder, WATON CORPORATION LIMITED, will beneficially own approximately 76.46% of the aggregate voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares. As a result, we will be deemed to be a “controlled company” for the purpose of the Nasdaq listing rules. Our largest shareholder has the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to the shareholders for approval, including the election of directors, amendment of organizational documents, and approval of major corporate transactions, such as a change in control, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets. As a controlled company, we are permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from the obligations to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that:
a majority of our board of directors consist of independent directors;
our director nominees be selected or recommended solely by independent directors; and
we have a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee that are composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the purposes and responsibilities of the committees.
We currently do not intend to rely on the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq listing standards. However, we may elect to rely on these exemptions in the future, and if so, you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq. See “Management.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in our 2025 Annual Report on file with the SEC, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as well as the following risk factors, which augment the risk factors set forth in our 2025 Annual Report. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially harm our operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment.
Risks Related to Doing Business in the Jurisdiction in which our Subsidiaries Operate
We have recently established a subsidiary in Mainland China, which subjects us to additional legal, regulatory, operational and geopolitical risks.
As of this date of this prospectus, we are headquartered in Hong Kong and operate primarily through our Hong Kong subsidiaries. However, we have incorporated WTF Technology, a wholly owned subsidiary in Hangzhou, Mainland China, to serve as a technical support and research and development center. WTF Technology is intended to operate as a cost center and will recruit local employees to conduct research and development and provide technical support services to our operations. WTF Technology currently does not generate any operating revenue or profits.
As a result of the establishment of our PRC subsidiary, we are now subject to certain PRC laws and regulations applicable to foreign-invested enterprises in Mainland China, which include, but are not limited to, those PRC laws and regulations relating to corporate governance, taxation, foreign exchange control, employment, social insurance, and intellectual property. Compliance with these laws and regulations may increase our operating costs and administrative burden. Any failure to comply with applicable PRC laws and regulations could subject us to fines, penalties, operational restrictions or other sanctions, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operation, and financial condition.
Our PRC subsidiary will recruit and employ local personnel, which subjects us to PRC labor laws and social insurance obligations. PRC employment laws impose requirements regarding labor contracts, severance, termination, social insurance contributions, and employee benefits. Any disputes with employees or failure to comply with PRC labor laws may result in arbitration, litigation, penalties, or reputational damage.
PRC foreign exchange controls may restrict our ability to fund our PRC subsidiary or repatriate funds. Capital contributions to our PRC subsidiary and cross-border service payments may be subject to State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) registration, regulatory approvals, or procedural requirements. Any delay or inability to make capital injections or remit funds could adversely affect the operations of our PRC subsidiary.
Intellectual property developed by our PRC subsidiary may be subject to PRC intellectual property laws. Although PRC law provides for protection of intellectual property rights, enforcement may be uncertain or inconsistent. We may face risks of misappropriation of trade secrets or disputes regarding ownership of intellectual property developed by PRC employees, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operation, and financial condition.
If we and our subsidiaries were to be required to comply with cybersecurity, data privacy, data protection, or any other PRC laws and regulations related thereto and we and our subsidiaries are unable to comply with such PRC laws and regulations, our financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
We and our subsidiaries may be subject to a variety of cybersecurity, data privacy, data protection, and other PRC laws and regulations related to data, including those relating to the collection, use, sharing, retention, security, disclosure, and transfer of confidential and private information, such as personal information and other data. These laws and regulations apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of information within our organization. These laws and regulations may restrict the activities of our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Mainland China and require us and our subsidiaries to incur increased costs and efforts to comply, and any breach or noncompliance may subject us and our subsidiaries to proceedings against such entity(ies), damage our and our subsidiaries’ reputation, or result in penalties and other significant legal liabilities, and thus may materially and adversely affect the business of our subsidiaries, and our financial condition and results of operations.
The PRC Data Security Law, or the Data Security Law, which was promulgated by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on June 10, 2021 and took effect on September 1, 2021, requires data collection to be
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

conducted in a legitimate and proper manner, and stipulates that, for the purpose of data protection, data processing activities must be conducted based on data classification and a hierarchical protection system for data security. Article 2 of the Data Security Law applies to data processing activities within the territory of Mainland China, as well as data processing activities conducted outside the territory of Mainland China, which jeopardize the national interest or the public interest of China or the rights and interest of any PRC organization and citizens. Any entity failing to perform the obligations provided in the Data Security Law may be subject to orders to correct, warnings and penalties including ban or suspension of business, revocation of business licenses or other penalties. As of the date of this prospectus, (i) neither we nor any of our subsidiaries conduct any data processing activities in Mainland China, and (ii) neither we nor any of our subsidiaries have conducted any data processing activities which may endanger the national interest or the public interest of China or the rights and interest of any Chinese organization and citizens. Therefore, we believe that the Data Security Law is not applicable to us and our subsidiaries.
On August 20, 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China promulgated the Personal Information Protection Law, which integrates the scattered rules with respect to personal information rights and privacy protection and took effect on November 1, 2021. Article 3 of the Personal Information Protection Law applies not only to personal information processing activities carried out in the territory of Mainland China but also to personal information processing activities outside the Mainland China for the purpose of offering products or services to domestic natural persons in the territory of Mainland China. The offending entities could be ordered to correct, or to suspend or terminate the provision of services, and face confiscation of illegal income, fines or other penalties. We cannot rule out the possibility that any PRC governmental authorities may subject us and our subsidiaries to such laws and regulations in the future. If these laws are deemed to be applicable to us and our subsidiaries, we cannot assure you that we and our subsidiaries will be able to comply with such laws in all respects, and we and our subsidiaries may be ordered to rectify and terminate any actions that are deemed to be illegal by the PRC governmental authorities and may become subject to fines and other government sanctions, which may materially and adversely affect the business of our subsidiaries, and our financial condition and results of operations.
On July 7, 2022, the CAC issued the Measures for Security Assessment of Cross-border Data Transfer, which took effect on September 1, 2022. On March 22, 2024, the CAC issued the Provisions on Facilitating and Regulating Cross-Border Data Flows (the “Cross-Border Data Flows Provisions”). According to these measures, in addition to the self-risk assessment requirement for provision of any data outside Mainland China, a data processor shall apply to the competent cyberspace department for a data security assessment and clearance of outbound data transfer in any of the following events: (i) critical information infrastructure operators providing personal information or important data overseas; and (ii) data processors other than critical information infrastructure operators providing important data overseas, or cumulatively providing overseas personal information (excluding sensitive personal information) of more than one million individuals or sensitive personal information of more than 10,000 individuals since January 1 of the current year. In addition, the Cross-Border Data Flows Provisions clarify that data processors are not required to conduct a security assessment for outbound data transfer for data that has not been notified or published as “important data” by relevant departments or regions. As of the date of this prospectus, (i) neither we nor our subsidiaries have received any formal notice from any PRC cybersecurity regulator identifying us or our subsidiaries as a “critical information infrastructure operator” or suggesting that the data we process is determined to be important data that will necessitate a security assessment, and (ii) our subsidiaries have processed far less than one million users’ personal information. From January 1, 2022 and up to the date of this prospectus, our subsidiaries have made outbound transfers of no more than one million users’ personal information and no more than ten thousand users’ sensitive personal information, cumulatively.
However, given the recent issuance of the above PRC laws and regulations related to cybersecurity and data privacy, the interpretation and implementation of these laws and regulations may be subject to revisions. We cannot assure you that we and our subsidiaries will be compliant with such new regulations in all respects, and we and our subsidiaries may be ordered to rectify and terminate any actions that are deemed illegal by the PRC governmental authorities and become subject to fines and other government sanctions, which may materially and adversely affect the business of our subsidiaries, and our financial condition and results of operations.
If we were to be required to obtain any permission or approval from or complete any filing procedures with the CSRC, the CAC, or other PRC governmental authorities in connection with our future offerings under the PRC laws, we may be fined or subject to other sanctions.
On February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (“Trial Measures”) and five supporting guidelines, which took effect on March 31,
13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2023. The Trial Measures requires companies in Mainland China that seek to offer and list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, to fulfill the filing procedures with the CSRC. According to the Trial Measures, the determination of the “indirect overseas offering and listing by companies in Mainland China” shall comply with the principle of “substance over form” and particularly, an issuer will be required to go through the filing procedures under the Trial Measures if the following criteria are met at the same time: (i) 50% or more of the issuer’s operating revenue, total profits, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent accounting year are accounted for by companies in Mainland China; and (ii) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in Mainland China, or its main places of business are located in Mainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Mainland Chinese nationals or domiciled in Mainland China.
The supporting guidelines further interpret that even if the issuer does not meet the above recognition criteria, but submits an application for issuance and listing in the overseas market in accordance with the relevant regulations applicable to non-domestic/regional issuers, and the risk factors disclosed in accordance with regulations are mainly related to the Mainland China market, the issuer should follow the principle of “substance over form” to confirm whether the issuer has to complete the filing procedures with the CSRC. Our counsel as to PRC laws, Global Law Office, advised us that we were not subject to the filing requirements under the supporting guidelines for our initial public offering completed in April 2025. However, given the current PRC regulatory environment and the establishment and operation of our PRC subsidiary, it is uncertain whether we or our subsidiaries will be required to obtain approvals from the PRC government to offer securities to foreign investors in the future, and whether we would be able to obtain such approvals.
As the regulatory actions of the Trial Measures and the supporting guidelines are continuously evolving, we cannot rule out the possibility that CSRC may promulgate new guidance or rules with respect to the implementation and interpretation of the principle of “substance over form.” Therefore, we cannot assure you that our initial public offering, any future offering of Ordinary Shares and our continued listing will not be deemed to be an “indirect overseas offering and listing by companies in Mainland China” and subject to the filing procedures in the future. If our initial public offering, any future offering and continued listing is deemed to be an “indirect overseas offering and listing by a company in Mainland China” under the Trial Measures and/or its further interpretation, we may need to complete the filing procedures for our initial public offering, our future offering and continued listing, retrospectively. If we are subject to the filing requirements, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete such filings in a timely manner or even at all.
The Cybersecurity Review Measures, which was jointly promulgated by the CAC and other relevant PRC governmental authorities on December 28, 2021 require that, among others, “critical information infrastructure” or network platform operators holding over one million users’ personal information to apply for a cybersecurity review before any public offering on a foreign stock exchange.
As of the date of this prospectus, the PRC Subsidiary maintains a small office, for registration purposes only, and has only one employee in Mainland China. Our counsel as to PRC laws, Global Law Office, has advised us that, as of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor our subsidiaries are required to apply for cybersecurity review for our public offerings on a foreign stock exchange, because (i) neither we nor our subsidiaries own or control, directly or indirectly, any major domestic assets or interests in Mainland China, our subsidiaries’ major business operations and personnel are located in Hong Kong; (ii) our data processing activities are solely carried out by our subsidiaries outside of Mainland China for the purpose of offering services in Hong Kong and other jurisdictions outside of Mainland China; (iii) a minimal proportion of our subsidiaries’ customers are in the Mainland China and neither we nor our subsidiaries control more than one millions users’ personal information as of the date of this prospectus; (iv) neither we nor our subsidiaries own any critical information infrastructure, as of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor our subsidiaries have received any notice of identifying us or our subsidiaries as critical information infrastructure from any relevant PRC governmental authorities; (v) our subsidiaries’ operations do not affect national security; and (vi) neither we nor our subsidiaries have been informed by any PRC governmental authority of any requirement for a cybersecurity review. However, regulatory requirements on cybersecurity and data security in the Mainland China are constantly evolving and can be subject to varying interpretations or significant changes, which may result in uncertainties about the scope of our responsibilities in that regard, and there can be no assurance that the relevant PRC governmental authorities, including the CAC, would reach the same conclusion as our counsel as
14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to PRC laws. We will closely monitor and assess the implementation and enforcement of the Cybersecurity Review Measures. If the Cybersecurity Review Measures mandates clearance of cybersecurity and/or data security regulators and other specific actions to be completed by companies like us, we may face uncertainties as to whether we can meet such requirements timely, or at all.
Since these statements and regulatory actions are continuously evolving, we cannot rule out the possibility that PRC governmental authorities may promulgate new guidance or rules in the interpretation and the enforcement of the above cybersecurity and overseas listing laws and regulation. If we are required to obtain approval or filings from any governmental authorities, including the CAC and/or the CSRC, in connection with the continued listing of our securities on a stock exchange outside of Hong Kong or Mainland China, it is uncertain how long it will take for us to obtain such approval or complete such filing, and, even if we obtain such approval or complete such filing, the approval or filing could be rescinded. Any failure to obtain or a delay in obtaining the necessary permissions from or complete the necessary filing procedure with the PRC governmental authorities to conduct offerings or list outside of Hong Kong or Mainland China may subject us and our subsidiaries to sanctions imposed by the PRC governmental authorities, which could include fines and penalties, suspension of business, proceedings against us and our subsidiaries, and even fines on the controlling shareholder and other responsible persons, and the ability to conduct the business of our subsidiaries, our and our subsidiaries’ ability to invest into Mainland China as foreign investments or accept foreign investments, or our ability to continue to list on Nasdaq may be restricted, and the business of our subsidiaries, and our reputation, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, these risks could result in a material adverse change to the value of our Ordinary Shares, significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to continue to offer securities to investors or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.
Risks Related to Our Subsidiaries’ Business and Industry
We have historically derived a substantial portion of revenue from WGI, a single related party customer. The recent loss of WGI as a substantial customer will have an adverse impact on our revenues in the near term if it is not replaced with one or more customers that generate the same volume of revenues, which could materially and adversely affect our financial results.
WGI, which is a related party over which we have exercised significant influence, was the largest customer for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — B. Related Party Transactions” of our 2025 Annual Report. WGI accounted for approximately 64.2%, 39.5% and 81.5% of our total revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Although WGI was a significant customer in our recent financial reporting periods, WGI is no longer our customer effective from October 2025. As a result, we no longer will generate revenue from this related party relationship with WGI, and our historical dependence on WGI presents transitional and operational risks as we shift our customer base.
Since August 2025, a New Zealand incorporated customer controlled by a less than 5% minority shareholder of the Company has emerged as a new customer that we anticipate may contribute substantial revenue, however, we can provide no assurance as of the date of this prospectus that such entity will do so at the same level as WGI historically has or will contribute in a manner that will offset the loss of WGI sufficient to impact future financial results.
Our heavy reliance on a single customer has left our subsidiaries’ business vulnerably exposed. The transition from WGI to other key customer(s) has resulted in changes to our commercial relationships, including requiring the renegotiation or termination of agreements, which could lead to potential delays in payment cycles, and may give rise to uncertainties around pricing or other business terms upon which our subsidiaries transact with third parties. Any adverse changes to our relationship with any of our new key customer(s), or any residual effects from our prior relationship with WGI could materially and adversely affect our financial results.
Even if our subsidiaries expect to obtain and retain new key customer(s), if the relationship with new key customer(s) deteriorates for any reason, or there is any adverse change in the demand of new key customer(s) for our subsidiaries’ services, or if our subsidiaries lose any new key customer(s), our subsidiaries’ business and our results of operations and financial conditions could be materially and adversely affected. Our historical reliance on WGI also means that our subsidiaries have had limited experience in attracting and maintaining non-related party customers and in operating without reliance upon a major related party customer, and there is no assurance that our subsidiaries will be able to successfully transition from their dependence on WGI over time to a more diversified, non–related party customer base or achieve sustained financial independence from the prior relationship with WGI.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

WSI and WTI are dependent on a single supplier, Shenzhen Jinhui Technology Co., Ltd., an information technology company, for providing software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services.
Shenzhen Jinhui Technology Co. Ltd. (“Shenzhen Jinhui”) was a related party controlled by Mr. Zhou Kai, our Chairman of the Board, Director, Chief Technology Officer and shareholder who owns more than 5% of the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of our Company. Shenzhen Jinhui is no longer a related party as of the date of this prospectus. WSI and WTI have outsourced the trading platform APP development and related support services in its software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services to Shenzhen Jinhui. As such, WSI and WTI are dependent on Shenzhen Jinhui for providing such services to software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services customers. The dependence on Shenzhen Jinhui exposes WSI and WTI to risks, including reduced control over costs and constraints based on the availability, terms, and pricing of these services. While we consider the chance of WSI and WTI being denied access to such services provided by Shenzhen Jinhui to be remote, if WSI and WTI were denied access to such services for some reasons, or if WSI and WTI were to experience any material disruptions to the sourcing of such services from Shenzhen Jinhui, WSI and WTI may not be able to switch to an alternative supplier at all or on substantially similar terms. As a result, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
As Shenzhen Jinhui is a significant service provider to WSI and WTI, any deterioration to our relationship with Shenzhen Jinhui or any adverse changes to the business terms with Shenzhen Jinhui could result in significant costs and potential service interruptions, if no suitable service provider to advance the trading platform APP development and furnish related support services in software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services can be located.
Risks Relating to This Offering
We are selling the Ordinary Shares in this offering without an underwriter and may be unable to sell any shares.
This offering is self-underwritten. We are selling the Ordinary Shares in this offering without an underwriter and may be unable to sell any of such shares. We intend to sell the Ordinary Shares through our officers. Our officers will offer the Ordinary Shares to their friends, relatives, acquaintances, and business associates; however, there is no guarantee that they will be able to sell any of the Ordinary Shares.
The trading price of our Ordinary Shares has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile, and purchasers of our Ordinary Shares could incur substantial losses.
Our share price has been and will likely continue to be volatile for the foreseeable future. The stock market in general and the market for companies similarly situated like us in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, investors may not be able to sell their Ordinary Shares at or above the price they paid.
The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares could adversely affect their market price.
Sales of substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market after the completion of this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares and materially impair our ability to raise capital through equity offerings in the future. The Ordinary Shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, and shares held by our existing shareholders may also be sold in the public market in the future subject to the restrictions in Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act and the applicable lock-up agreements, if any. We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of securities held by our significant shareholders or any other shareholder or the availability of these securities for future sale will have on the market price of our Ordinary Shares. See “Plan of Distribution” and “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” for a more detailed description of the restrictions on selling our securities after this offering.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Ordinary Shares you purchase.
Because the assumed public offering price per Ordinary Share being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our Ordinary Shares, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the Ordinary Shares you purchase in the offering. Assuming a public offering price of $5.03 per share, you will experience an immediate dilution of approximately $4.02 per Ordinary Share, with respect to the net tangible book value of our Ordinary Shares as of September 30, 2025. See “Dilution.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may use the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree.
Our management will have considerable discretion in deciding how to apply the proceeds of this offering. You will not have the opportunity to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately before you make your investment decision. You must rely on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We cannot assure you that the net proceeds will be used in a manner that will improve our results of operations or increase the price of our Ordinary Shares, nor that these net proceeds will be placed only in investments that generate income or appreciate in value.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations and forecasts or views of future events, all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by the use of words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or other similar expressions in this prospectus. These statements are likely to address our growth strategy, financial results and product and development programs. You must carefully consider any such statements and should understand that many factors could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These factors may include inaccurate assumptions and a broad variety of other risks and uncertainties, including some that are known and some that are not. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual future results may vary materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
future financial and operating results, including revenues, income, expenditures, cash balances and other financial items;
our ability to execute our growth and expansion strategies, including our ability to meet our goals;
current and future economic and political conditions;
our expectations regarding demand for and market acceptance of our services;
our expectations regarding our customer base;
competition in our industries;
relevant government policies and regulations relating to our industries;
our capital requirements and our ability to raise any additional financing which we may require;
our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and secure the right to use other intellectual property that we deem to be essential or desirable to the conduct of our business through our subsidiaries;
our ability to hire and retain qualified management personnel and key employees in order to develop the business of our subsidiaries;
overall industry and market performance;
other assumptions described in this prospectus underlying or relating to any forward-looking statements.
We describe material risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could affect the business of our subsidiaries, and our financial condition and results of operations, under “Risk Factors.” We base our forward-looking statements on our management’s beliefs and assumptions based on information available to our management at the time the statements are made. We caution you that actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecast by our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should be careful about relying on any forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.
Industry Data and Forecasts
This prospectus may contain certain data and information that we obtained from various government and private publications. Statistical data in these publications also include projections based on a number of assumptions. The global business-to-business financial technology in the securities brokerage market and related industries may not grow at the rate projected by market data, or at all. Failure of our industries to grow at the projected rate may have a material and adverse effect on the business of our subsidiaries and the market price of our Ordinary Shares. In addition, the new and rapidly changing nature of the securities brokerage services and financial technology services industries results in significant uncertainties for any projections or estimates relating to the growth prospects or future condition of our industries. Furthermore, if any one or more of the assumptions underlying the market data are later found to be incorrect, actual results may differ from the projections based on these assumptions. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) as a BVI business company with limited liability. We are incorporated in the BVI because of certain benefits associated with being a BVI company, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the BVI has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides protections for investors to a significantly lesser extent. In addition, BVI companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.
Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, a majority of our directors and officers are residents of Hong Kong or Mainland China and a majority of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in U.S. courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
We have appointed Cogency Global Inc. located at 122 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10168, as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York under the federal securities laws of the United States or of any State of the United States or any action brought against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in the County of New York under the securities laws of the State of New York.
British Virgin Islands
Enforceability
Carey Olsen Singapore LLP, our legal counsel as to the laws of the BVI, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the BVI would (i) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States or (ii) entertain original actions brought in the BVI against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
We have been advised by Carey Olsen Singapore LLP that the United States and the BVI do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts of the United States in civil and commercial matters and that a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any general or state court in the United States based on civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws, would not be automatically enforceable in the BVI. We have also been advised by Carey Olsen Singapore LLP that a final and conclusive judgment obtained in U.S. federal or state courts under which a sum of money is payable as compensatory damages (i.e., not being a sum claimed by a revenue authority for taxes or other charges of a similar nature by a governmental authority, or in respect of a fine or penalty or multiple or punitive damages) may be the subject of an action on a debt in the court of the BVI under the common law doctrine of obligation.
Hong Kong
We have been advised by Han Kun Law Offices LLP, our Hong Kong legal advisers, that there is uncertainty as to whether the judgment of United States courts will be directly enforced in Hong Kong, as the United States and Hong Kong do not have a treaty or other arrangements providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts of the United States in civil and commercial matters. However, a foreign judgment may be enforced in Hong Kong at common law by bringing an action in a Hong Kong court since the judgment may be regarded as creating a debt between the parties to it, provided that the foreign judgment, among other things, is a final judgment conclusive upon the merits of the claim and is for a liquidated amount in a civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges. Such a judgment may not, in any event, be so enforced in Hong Kong if (a) it was obtained by fraud; (b) the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were opposed to natural justice; (c) its enforcement or recognition would be contrary to the public policy of Hong Kong; (d) the court of the United States was not jurisdictionally competent; or (e) the judgment was in conflict with a prior Hong Kong judgment.
Mainland China
We have been advised by Global Law Office, our PRC legal advisers, that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC, would: (1) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against the Company or its directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any
19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

state in the United States; or (2) entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against the Company or its directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under PRC Civil Procedures Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against the Company or its directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security or public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a PRC court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands. Under the PRC Civil Procedures Law, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on PRC Laws against the Company in the PRC, if they can establish sufficient nexus to the PRC for a PRC court to have jurisdiction, and meet other procedural requirements, including, among others, the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case, and there must be a concrete claim, a factual basis and a cause for the suit. However, it would be difficult for foreign shareholders to establish sufficient nexus to the PRC by virtue only of holding the Ordinary Shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS
Based upon an assumed offering price of $5.03 per share, we estimate that we will receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $26.60 million, assuming the sales of all of the securities we are offering and after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us. However, because this is a best-efforts offering and there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount and net proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Based on the assumed offering price set forth above, we estimate that our net proceeds from the sale of 75%, 50% or 25% of the securities offered in this offering would be approximately $19.86 million, $13.12 million, or $6.38 million, respectively, after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering as follows:
approximately 30% for research and development activities to improve the functionalities of our online trading platform and other applications to be provided by the Company, under the Company’s global AI strategy; for further information on our global AI strategy, please see “Item 4. Information on the Company—B. Business Overview” in our 2025 Annual Report;
approximately 30% for expansion of the existing securities brokerage and asset management businesses;
approximately 20% for sales and promotion activities, such as digital marketing campaigns, to promote the Company’s global AI strategy; and
approximately 20% for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $5.03 per share, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $5.36 million, assuming the number of shares offered, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated offering expenses and assuming the completion of the maximum offering.
Based on an assumed offering price of $5.03 per share, an increase of 100,000 in the number of Ordinary Shares we are offering, would increase the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us, by approximately $0.50 million. A decrease of 100,000 in the number of Ordinary Shares we are offering, would decrease the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us, by approximately $0.50 million.
The foregoing represents our current intentions based upon our present plans and business conditions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering. Our management, however, will have significant flexibility and discretion to apply the net proceeds of this offering. If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this prospectus. To the extent that the net proceeds we receive from this offering are not immediately used for the above purposes, we intend to invest our net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing bank deposits, debt instruments or our margin loan business.
Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all or any of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell a number of securities sufficient to pursue the business goals outlined in this prospectus.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DIVIDEND POLICY
Subject to the BVI Companies Act and our memorandum and articles of association, our board of directors may authorize and declare a dividend to shareholders at such time and of such an amount as they think fit if they are satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that immediately following the dividend the value of our assets will exceed our liabilities and we will be able to pay our debts as they become due. There is no further British Virgin Islands statutory restriction on the amount of funds which may be distributed by us by dividend. Even if we decide to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon our future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares. We do not have any present plan to pay any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares in the foreseeable future after this offering. We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our subsidiaries’ business.
We are a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. We may rely on dividends from our subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands for our cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to our shareholders. According to the Companies Ordinance of Hong Kong, a Hong Kong company may only make a distribution out of profits available for distribution. 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 us. See “Item 10. Additional Information — E. Taxation — Hong Kong Enterprise Taxation” in our 2025 Annual Report. Under Cayman Islands law, dividends may be paid only out of profits or share premium. See “Item 10. Additional Information — E. Taxation — Cayman Islands Taxation” in our 2025 Annual Report. Any dividends to be paid by us are not subject to taxation in the British Virgin Islands under current laws and regulations. See “Item 10. Additional Information — E. Taxation — British Virgin Islands Taxation” in our 2025 Annual Report. Cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares, if any, will be paid in U.S. dollars.

DILUTION
If you invest in the securities being offered in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our Ordinary Shares and our pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share immediately after this offering. Dilution results from the fact that the public offering price per Ordinary Share is substantially in excess of the pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share attributable to the existing shareholders for our presently outstanding Ordinary Shares.
Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025, was $0.57 per Ordinary Share. Net tangible book value represents the amount of our total consolidated tangible assets, less the amount of our total consolidated liabilities.
After giving effect to the issuance and sale of 5,359,719 Ordinary Shares offered in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $5.03 per share, after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us and assuming the sale of all of the Ordinary Shares we are offering, our pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 would have been approximately $54,292,521, or $1.01 per outstanding Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.44 per ordinary share to the existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $4.02 per Ordinary Share to investors purchasing Ordinary Shares in this offering.
The following table illustrates such dilution:

Assumes net proceeds of approximately $26.60 million from this offering of 5,359,719 Ordinary Shares at an assumed public offering price of $5.03 per share, calculated as follows: approximately $26.96 million gross offering proceeds, less the estimated offering expenses of approximately $0.36 million.
The number of our Ordinary Shares to be outstanding after this offering is based on 48,237,472 Ordinary Shares outstanding, excluding the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon vesting of our outstanding restricted share units, as of the date of this prospectus.
A $1.00 increase in the assumed public offering price of $5.03 per share, would increase our pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 after this offering, assuming the sale of all of the Ordinary Shares we are offering, by approximately $0.10 per Ordinary Share, and would increase dilution to new investors by approximately $0.90 per Ordinary Share, assuming that the number of Ordinary Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us.
A $1.00 decrease in the assumed public offering price of $5.03 per share, would decrease our pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2025 after this offering, assuming the sale of all of the Ordinary Shares we are offering, by approximately $0.10 per Ordinary Share, and would decrease dilution to new investors by approximately $0.90 per Ordinary Share, assuming that the number of Ordinary Shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The pro forma as-adjusted information as discussed above is illustrative only. Our pro forma net tangible book value following the completion of this offering is subject to adjustment based on the actual public offering price of our Ordinary Shares and other terms of this offering determined at the pricing.
Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all or any of the securities offered hereby.

CORPORATE HISTORY AND STRUCTURE
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands with limited liability on June 25, 2010 under the original name of “IAM Group Inc.”, which name was changed to “Waton Financial Limited” on July 5, 2023. The Company holds equity interests in its subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Mainland China, the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands. Investors are purchasing the securities of the Company, a British Virgin Islands holding company, and not in its subsidiaries. This corporate structure involves unique risks to investors. As a holding company, the Company may rely on dividends from its subsidiaries for cash requirements, including any payment of dividends to its shareholders. The subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to the Company may be restricted by the debt the subsidiaries incur on their own behalf or the laws and regulations applicable to them. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Ordinary Shares — We rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have, and any limitation on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments may restrict our ability to finance our cash requirements, service debt or make dividend or other distributions to our shareholders” in our 2025 Annual Report.

The Company owns 100% of the issued shares of Waton Securities International Limited (“WSI”), a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong on April 28, 1989, 100% of the issued shares of Waton Technology International Limited (“WTI”), a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong on February 24, 2023, 100% of the issued shares of Waton Sponsor Limited (“WSL”), a BVI business company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on September 7, 2023 and 100% of the issued shares of Descart Limited (“Descart”), a stock corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 23, 2024.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we operated through our wholly owned subsidiary, WSI, to provide securities brokerage services and software licensing and related support services. Since September 2023, WTI has provided software licensing and related support services, in order to focus on the expertise of operations and service areas. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we operated through our wholly owned subsidiaries, WSI, to provide securities brokerage services and software licensing and related support services, and WTI, to provide software licensing and related support services.

As of the date of this prospectus, IAM, Descart, WTF Technology, and L&H have minimal operations. WTF Technology is intended to operate as a technical support and R&D center, functioning as a cost center.
In order to explore business opportunities and expand the business of the Company, in February 2024, WSI, through equity method investment at the cost of RMB5,500,000 (equivalent to approximately US$770,000), acquired a 55% interest in LeFeng Hainan Private Equity Fund Management Limited (“LeFeng”), a limited liability company established in the PRC, which company is not our subsidiary. In view of the prolonged timeframe and uncertainty for LeFeng to complete the requisite regulatory filings and commence its intended business, on October 10, 2024, WSI and the sole director of LeFeng (the “Purchaser”) entered into a share transfer agreement, pursuant to which WSI agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the 55% equity interest in LeFeng for a consideration of HK$7,000,000 (equivalent to approximately US$900,000), (the “Divestment”). The Divestment was completed during the six months ended September 30, 2025. The Divestment presents an opportunity for WSI to realize its investment and focus its resources on its current business.

The Foreign Investment Law of the People’s Republic of China (the “Foreign Investment Law”) was adopted by the second meeting of the 13th National People’s Congress on March 15, 2019, which became effective on January 1, 2020.

The PRC governmental authorities have passed a variety of laws and regulations regarding social insurance and housing funds from time to time, including, among others, the Social Insurance Law of the People’s Republic of China, the Regulation of Insurance for Labor Injury, the Regulations of Insurance for Unemployment, the Provisional Insurance Measures for Maternal Employees, the Interim Administrative Provisions on Registration of Social Insurance and the Administrative Regulations on the Housing Provident Fund.
According to the Social Insurance Law of PRC, which issued by the SCNPC on October 28, 2010 and came into effect on July 1, 2011 and was latest revised on December 29, 2018, enterprises and institutions in the PRC shall provide their employees with welfare schemes covering pension insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance, work-related injury insurance, medical insurance and other welfare plans. The employer shall apply to the local social insurance agency for social insurance registration within 30 days from the date of its formation. And it shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for the employee.
According to the Administrative Regulations on the Housing Provident Fund, implemented since April 3, 1999 and latest amended on March 24, 2019, any newly established entity shall make deposit registration at the housing accumulation fund management center within 30 days as of its establishment. After that, the entity shall open a housing accumulation fund account for its employees in an entrusted bank. Within 30 days as of the date an employee is recruited, the entity shall make deposit registration at the housing accumulation fund management center and seal up the employee’s housing accumulation fund account in the bank mentioned above within 30 days from termination of the employment relationship.
Regulations Relating to Tax in the PRC
Income Tax

Under the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, an enterprise established outside China with “de facto management bodies” within China is considered a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes and is generally subject to a uniform 25% enterprise income tax rate on its worldwide income. Under the implementation

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Pre-IPO Shareholders Agreement
We entered into a shareholders agreement on January 3, 2025 with our shareholders prior the completion of our IPO.
Pursuant to such shareholders agreement, our pre-IPO shareholders are subject to certain general restrictions on disposal and issue of Ordinary Shares, including, among others, general restriction on security interests where our shareholder may not grant any security interest in or lien upon our securities without first obtaining our board approval.
Our shareholders holding Ordinary Shares immediately prior to our IPO (the “Restricted Shares”) are also subject to a mandatory lock-up period that will expire two years from the date of our IPO. No disposal to third parties of Restricted Shares is allowed until the end of the lock-up period.
The shareholders agreement provides for certain shareholders’ rights, including, among others, pre-emptive rights on issue of securities, pre-emptive rights on disposal and drag along rights, and contains provisions governing our board of directors and other corporate governance matters.
Save for the mandatory lock-up period for the Restricted Shares, the general restrictions on disposal and issue of Ordinary Shares, and shareholders’ rights terminated upon the closing of our IPO.
Termination of the Right of First Refusal Granted in Our IPO
In connection with our IPO, we granted the representative of the underwriters in our IPO, Cathay Securities, Inc. (“Cathay”) (or any affiliate designated by Cathay) in the underwriting agreement entered into between the Company and Cathay(the “Underwriting Agreement”), the right to act as the lead managing underwriter, placement agent, exclusive financial advisor or in any other similar capacity, for each and every future public offering for capital raising purposes registered with the SEC, or private financing, including all equity linked financings of the Company, or any successor to the Company for the period beginning on the closing of the IPO and ending 12 months after the closing of the IPO. Such right of first refusal has been terminated by mutual agreement between the Company and Cathay.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who at the time of a sale is not, and has not been during the three months preceding the sale, an affiliate of ours and has beneficially owned our restricted securities for at least six months is entitled to sell the restricted securities without registration under the Securities Act, subject to the availability of current public information about us, and will be entitled to sell restricted securities beneficially owned for at least one year without restriction. Persons who are our affiliates (including persons beneficially owning 10% or more of our outstanding shares) and have beneficially owned our restricted securities for at least six months may sell within any three-month period a number of restricted securities that does not exceed the greater of the following:
1% of the then outstanding ordinary shares of the same class, which will equal approximately 535,972 Ordinary Shares immediately after this offering, assuming the sales of all of the Ordinary Shares we are offering; and
the average weekly trading volume of our ordinary shares of the same class on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the date on which notice of the sale on Form 144 is filed with the SEC.
Such sales are also subject to manner-of-sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.
Rule 701
Beginning 90 days after we became a reporting company, persons other than affiliates who purchased ordinary shares under a written compensatory plan or other written agreement executed prior to the completion of our IPO may be entitled to sell such shares in the United States in reliance on Rule 701 under the Securities Act, or Rule 701. Rule 701 permits affiliates to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144.
Rule 701 further provides that non-affiliates may sell these shares in reliance on Rule 144 subject only to its manner-of-sale requirements. However, the Rule 701 shares would remain subject to any applicable lock-up arrangements and would only become eligible for sale when the lock-up period expires, if any.
Regulation S
Regulation S provides generally that sales made in offshore transactions are not subject to the registration or prospectus-delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

None of our officers will register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1, which sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer’s securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer.
None of our officers are subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act, at the time of their participation;
None of our officers will be compensated in connection with their participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities;

EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of Waton Financial Limited as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended March 31, 2025 incorporated by reference in this prospectus have been audited by UHY LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report appearing therein, which contain a paragraph of “Emphasis of Matter” relating to the Company’s significant transactions with related parties, and are included in reliance upon such report, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. The office of UHY LLP is headquartered in New York, the United States.
CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
On April 10, 2024, the board of directors received notice of the resignation of MaloneBailey, LLP from its role as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023. The board of directors did not take part in MaloneBailey, LLP’s decision to resign. On May 23, 2024, the board of directors approved the engagement of UHY LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2024.
The MaloneBailey, LLP’s reports on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
Furthermore, during the Company’s fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, there were (i) no disagreements with MaloneBailey, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures that, if not resolved to MaloneBailey, LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused MaloneBailey, LLP to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports and (ii) no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for the material weaknesses related to the lack of sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting and compliance requirements to design, implement and operate key controls over financial reporting process in accordance with U.S. GAAP and financial reporting requirements set forth by the SEC.
The Company engaged UHY LLP as its new independent registered public accounting firm. During the Company’s fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2024, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted UHY LLP regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, in connection with which neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that UHY LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We have provided MaloneBailey, LLP with a copy of the disclosures made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, and have requested that MaloneBailey, LLP furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made by the registrant in response to this Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A letter from MaloneBailey, LLP is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Unaudited Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F as of and for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (“Audited Financial Statements”), as filed on July 24, 2025. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for their fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Other than policies noted below, there have been no significant changes to the significant accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the Audited Financial Statements.
(b)
Principles of consolidation
The Unaudited Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
(c)
Use of estimates
The preparation of the Unaudited Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the Unaudited Financial Statements. Accounting estimates required to be made by management include, but not limited to, recognition of software licensing and related support services income, allowance for credit losses, valuation of share-based compensation, income taxes and valuation for investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d)
Receivables from and payables to clients
Receivables from and payables to clients include amounts due and owed on cash and margin transactions on a trade-date basis. Receivables from clients include margin loans to securities brokerage clients and other trading receivables. WSI engages in margin financing transactions with its clients. Margin loans generated from margin lending activity for securities traded in the secondary market are collateralized by client-owned securities held in client’s accounts. WSI monitors the required margin and collateral level on a daily basis in compliance with regulatory and internal guidelines. Under applicable agreements, clients are required to deposit additional collateral or reduce holding positions, when necessary to avoid forced liquidation of their positions.
The Group elected the practical expedient for Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326 – “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”) which permits it to compare the amortized cost basis of the loaned amount with the fair value of collateral received at the reporting date to measure the estimate of expected credit losses. Securities beneficially owned by clients, including those that collateralize margin or other similar transactions, are not reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Group had no credit losses reserve to its receivables from clients.
(e)
Receivables from and payables to broker-dealers and clearing organization
Receivables from and payables to clearing organization include receivables and payables from unsettled trades on a trade-date basis, including amounts receivable for securities trades not delivered by WSI to the purchaser by the settlement date and amounts payable for securities not received by WSI from a seller by the settlement date.

(In U.S. dollars, except for share data or otherwise noted)
As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Group had no credit losses reserve to its receivables from broker-dealers and clearing organization.
Payables to broker-dealers represent margin loan that WSI borrowed from broker-dealers by repledging or sell-and-repurchase the securities that pledged by its margin clients.
(f)
Receivables from software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services
Receivables from software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services primarily consist of amounts due for services already performed and are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Group maintains an allowance for estimated credit losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the expected credit loss, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current and future market conditions and the customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute and customer paying patterns. Balances that remain outstanding after the Group has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the receivables from software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services were fully collateralized by the client-owned securities held in the customer’s account. There were no allowance was recognized on the receivables from software licensing (including subscription based) and related support services during the periods presented in the accompanying Unaudited Financial Statements.
(g)
Deferred offering costs
Deferred offering costs are incurred in connection with the public offerings of the Company, and initial public offerings (“IPOs”), of the Company’s subsidiary, Love and Health Limited, a SPAC entity, including legal, underwriting, and other public offering related costs. Upon completion of the public offering, these deferred offering costs will be reclassified to shareholders’ equity. If the Company terminates its planned public offering or if there is a significant delay, all of the deferred offering costs will be immediately written off to expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Deferred offering costs were $0.44 million and $1.50 million as of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively, and were recorded in other assets. For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s deferred offering cost of $1.1 million has been charged against equity upon completion of its IPO on April 2, 2025.
(h)
Investment in equity securities
The Company accounts for investments in equity securities in accordance with ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities. For investment in an equity security in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest, the Company determines if it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity. Equity investment over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and that does not have a readily determinable fair value that qualifies for the net asset value (“NAV”) practical expedient. The Company has elected to apply the NAV practical expedient to estimate fair value, with changes in NAV recognized in the accompanying in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
For all other investments in equity securities over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and without a readily determinable fair value, the Company applies alternative measurements on these equity securities which are defined as cost, less any impairments, a plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, if any. The Company monitors the investment for impairments and makes adjustments in carrying values if management determines that an impairment charge is required based primarily on the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investment. The Company evaluates potential impairment indicators, including adverse changes in industry or market conditions, financial performance, business outlook, and other relevant factors. If such indicators are present, further analysis is conducted to determine whether any impairment is other-than-temporary. In cases where an impairment is deemed other-than-temporary, the Company determines the fair value of the investment. When quoted market prices are not available, the

Company exercises judgment in estimating fair value, taking into account factors such as current economic and market conditions, the investee’s operating performance and earnings trends, and other company- and industry-specific information.
(i)
Equity method investments
The Group accounts for an equity method investment over which it has significant influence but does not have a controlling financial interest and of which it is not the primary beneficiary. The Group’s share of the investee’s profit and loss is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the share of investee losses recognized was $0.03 million and $0.34 million, respectively.
The Group assesses its equity method investments for other-than-temporary impairment by considering factors as well as all relevant and available information including, but not limited to, current economic and market conditions, the operating performance of the companies including current earnings trends, and other entity-specific information.
(j)
Fair value measurement
The Group performs fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, cash segregated under regulatory requirements, receivables from clients, receivables from broker-dealers and clearing organization, receivables from software licensing and related support services, prepaid expenses and other current assets, payables to clients, payables to broker dealers and clearing organization, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximated their fair values reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The Company applies the practical expedient provided by the ASC Topic 820 relating to investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). ASC Topic 820 permits an entity holding investments in certain entities that either are investment companies, or have attributes similar to an investment company, and calculate NAV per share or its equivalent for which the fair value is not readily determinable, to measure the fair value of such investments on the basis of that NAV per share, or its equivalent, without adjustment. Investments which are valued using NAV per share as a practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy as per ASC Topic 820.

(l)
Concentration and credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts held with financial institutions in Hong Kong. Cash segregated under regulatory requirements is deposited in reputable financial institutions as required by the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance. At times, these accounts may exceed the maximum coverage limit of approximatively $102,000 (HK$800,000), effective from October 1, 2024, under the Deposit Protection Scheme introduced by the Hong Kong Government.
The Group has not experienced any losses in these accounts and management believes that these financial institutions are of sound credit quality and the Group is not exposed to any significant credit risk on these accounts.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk associated with its trading and other activities is measured on an individual counterparty basis, as well as by Group of counterparties that share similar attributes.
The Group is exposed to concentration risks with specific counterparties.
(i)
Major customers
For the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, customer A, a related party, accounted for 36.6% and 68.0% of the Group’s total revenues, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, supplier A, a related party, accounted for 6.5% and 5.4% of the total balance of accounts payable, respectively. Supplier A ceased to be a related party in the fourth quarter in 2025.

Risks and uncertainties
The Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations may also be negatively impacted by risks related to regional wars, geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, extreme weather conditions, health epidemics and other catastrophic incidents, which could potentially and significantly disrupt the Group’s operations.

Recent accounting pronouncements
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted -
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold on an annual basis. The new guidance will become effective for the Company’s financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2026. The Company will be required to adopt this guidance on a prospective basis with an option to apply it retrospectively for each period presented. Early adoption of the standard is also permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the financial statement disclosure requirement.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which is intended to provide disaggregated information about a public business entity’s expenses to help financial statement users better understand the entity’s performance, better assess the entity’s prospects for future cash flows, and compare an entity’s performance over time and with that of other entities. The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard may be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this guidance.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendment provides all entities with a practical expedient to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets and with an accounting policy election to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this guidance.
Except for the above-mentioned pronouncements, there are no new recently issued accounting standards that will have a material impact on the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
In August 2025, the Company invested $1,000,000 in membership interests of a certain investment fund, which is a limited liability company incorporated in the State of Delaware representing approximately 1% of the outstanding membership interests of the investment fund. The Company determined it does not have significant influence in the investment fund and the investment does not have readily determinable fair value, and is eligible to measure in accordance with NAV practical expedient.
The Company holds 100% of member interest in WIG SPC, an exempted segregated portfolio company. WIG SPC is the host legal entity of multiple segregated portfolios and does not have material assets, liabilities, or equity other than those solely attributable to the individual segregated portfolios. Each segregated portfolio (“SP”) holds specified assets and liabilities that are legally and economically segregated from the other SP and WIG SPC. Because the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance and

(In U.S. dollars, except for share data or otherwise noted)
the related risks and rewards are isolated at the SP level, the equity interests of the individual SPs do not represent equity investment at risk of WIG SPC as a whole under ASC 810, Consolidation.
The Company determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any of the segregated portfolios and, accordingly, does not consolidate the segregated portfolios in its consolidated financial statements.
During the six months ended September 30, 2025, WSI launched Z Navigation Option Hedge Fund S.P. (“SP4” or “Z Navigation”), a segregated portfolio within WIG SPC.
In July 2025, WSI subscribed for $1,000,000 Class VI Shares of Z Navigation at the subscription price of $15 per share. Z Navigation is a segregated portfolio fund under WIG SPC and invests in a private equity fund and certain listed equity securities. The fund is readily marketable and the Group is expected to realize it in a short-term period. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s variable interest in Z Navigation is classified as Investment securities, at NAV – related party, with a carrying amount of $1,000,000. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its subscription amount of $1 million, representing its junior tranche capital amongst $2 million total junior tranche capital paid up by junior tranche members. WSI co-manages the fund with another senior tranche investor pursuant to a supplemental fund management agreement during the six months ended September 30, 2025. The Company has no obligation to provide additional financial support, including liquidity facilities, guarantees, or asset purchase commitments. The senior tranche stop-loss protection is borne solely by senior investors.
During the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized the changes in net asset value of investments of $0.74 million and nil, respectively.
4.
EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT, NET
During the year ended March 31, 2024, WSI acquired a 55% interest in LeFeng Hainan Private Equity Fund Management Limited (“LeFeng”). WSI does not have the requisite voting power of two thirds or more to control LeFeng pursuant to its articles of association and cannot remove the existing sole director appointed by the other shareholder holding a 45% equity interest without cause. WSI’s obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the investee is limited to its capital investments or its rights to receive sharing of profit from the investee based on its proportionate share of the capital contributions. The Group determined it has ability to exercise significant influence over its financial and operating polices and therefore accounted for this investment under equity method.
During October 2024, WSI and the sole director of LeFeng (the “Purchaser”) entered into a shares transfer agreement, pursuant to which WSI agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the 55% equity interest in LeFeng with carrying amount of $0.77 million for a consideration of approximately $0.90 million (equivalent to HK$7,000,000) (the “Divestment”). The Divestment was completed during the six months ended September 30, 2025.
For the six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the loss on share of equity method investment was $0.03 million and $0.34 million.
For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a gain on sale of equity method investment of $0.74 million and provided an allowance on expected credit loss of $0.74 million on the receivable of the Divestment, which is recorded in the “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”.
5.
LEASES
The Group has operating leases for its offices with terms ranging from two to three years. In April and September 2023, the Group entered into two new lease agreements, one for its corporate headquarters at Harbor City, Hong Kong, and the other for employee residence. The Group also has a finance lease for a printer, which is deemed not material for accounting purposes.

The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character in future periods. The Group regularly assesses the ability to realize its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance if it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Group weighs all available positive and negative evidence, including its earnings history and results of recent operations, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.
As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Group had accumulated net operating loss carryforwards of $7.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively. For entities incorporated in Hong Kong, net loss can be carried forward indefinitely. As of September 30, 2025, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets due to significant negative evidence, the Company’s assessment that it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Our memorandum and articles of association currently in effect provide that, subject to certain limitations, we indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings for any person who:
is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was our director; or
is or was, at our request, serving as a director or officer of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
These indemnities only apply if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The decision of the directors as to whether the person acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the company and as to whether the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the memorandum and articles of association, as amended, unless a question of law is involved. The termination of any proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the company or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Under these agreements, we agree to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by any such person in connection with claims made by reason of their being a director or officer of our Company. We have purchased the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the Company’s directors and officers.

UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(c)          Authorization; Enforcement.  The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, the Board of Directors or the Company’s shareholders in connection herewith or therewith other than in connection with the Required Approvals.  This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
 
7

(e)         Filings, Consents and Approvals.  The Company is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents, other than: (i) the filings required pursuant to Section 4.4 of this Agreement, (ii) the filing with the Commission of the Prospectus, (iii) notices and/or application(s) to each applicable Trading Market for the listing of the Shares for trading thereon in the time and manner required thereby, (iv) approval of the Board of Directors of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein; and (v) such filings as are required to be made under applicable state securities laws (collectively, the “Required Approvals”).

3.2         Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers.  Each Purchaser, for itself and for no other Purchaser, hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):
 
(a)         Organization; Authority.  Such Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser.  Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
 
(b)        Understandings or Arrangements.  Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Shares (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).  Such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
 
(c)       Purchaser Status.  At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) or (a)(8) under the Securities Act.
 
(d)     Experience of Such Purchaser.  Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.  Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
 
(e)       Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. 
 
18

(f)         Certain Transactions and Confidentiality.  Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement.  Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

(g)         Brokers. Except as set forth in the Prospectus, no agent, broker, investment banker, person or firm acting in a similar capacity on behalf of or under the authority of such Purchaser is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission or similar fee, directly or indirectly, for which the Company or any of its Affiliates after the Closing could have any liabilities in connection with this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or on account of any action taken by such Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, except as set forth in this Agreement, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

4.3         Integration.  The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Shares for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
 
19

4.4         Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  The Company shall (a) by the Disclosure Time, issue a press release disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) file a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, including the Transaction Documents as exhibits thereto, with the Commission within the time required by the Exchange Act.  From and after the issuance of such press release, the Company represents to the Purchasers that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to any of the Purchasers by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  In addition, effective upon the issuance of such press release, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates on the one hand, and any of the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, which was entered into solely in connection with the subject matter hereof, shall terminate. The Company and each Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Purchaser, or without the prior consent of each Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Purchaser, or include the name of any Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case, the Company shall provide such Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted pursuant to this sentence.
 
4.5         Shareholder Rights Plan.  No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Shares under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.
 
4.6        Non-Public Information.   Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.4, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have consented to the receipt and use of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential.  The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.  To the extent that the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public information to a Purchaser without such Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K.  The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
 
4.7         Use of Proceeds.  The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares hereunder for working capital and general corporate purposes and shall not use such proceeds: (a) for the satisfaction of any portion of the Company’s debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and prior practices), (b) for the redemption of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents, (c) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation or (d) in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations.

4.8         Indemnification of Purchasers.   The Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, documented costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (b) any action instituted against the Purchaser Parties in any capacity (including a Purchaser Party’s status as an investor), or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by the Company or any shareholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser Party, arising out of or relating to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification provided herein is intended to, and shall also cover, direct claims brought by the Company against the Purchaser Parties; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not cover (i) any loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent it is finally judicially determined to be attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in any Transaction Document, or (ii) any conduct by a Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.  If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and, except with respect to direct claims brought by the Company, the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party.  Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the applicable Purchaser Party (which may be internal counsel), a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.  The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, if any Purchaser Party takes actions to collect amounts due under any Transaction Documents or to enforce the provisions of any Transaction Documents, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by such Purchaser Party for such collection, enforcement or action, including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and disbursements.  The indemnification and other payment obligations required by this Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation, defense, collection, enforcement or action, as and when bills are received or are incurred; provided, that if any Purchaser Party is finally judicially determined not to be entitled to indemnification or payment under this Section 4.8, such Purchaser Party shall promptly reimburse the Company for any payments that are advanced under this sentence.  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

4.10       Listing of Ordinary Shares. The Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Market on which they are currently listed, and prior to the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Ordinary Shares traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares, and will take such other action as is reasonably necessary to cause all of the Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible.  The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing and trading of its Ordinary Shares on a Trading Market and will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Trading Market.  The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the eligibility of the Ordinary Shares for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
 
4.11       Subsequent Equity Sales.
 
(a)         From the date hereof until [•] days after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents (each, a “Subsequent Placement”) or (ii) file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, other than the Prospectus.
 
(b)        From the date hereof until [•], the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction.  “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional Ordinary Shares either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the Ordinary Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Ordinary Shares or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price.  Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
 
(c)         Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.11 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.
 
4.12       Participation Right.
 
(a)        From the date hereof until [•], upon any issuance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Shares Equivalents for cash consideration, Indebtedness or a combination of units thereof (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to [•]% of the Subsequent Financing (the “Participation Maximum”) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing.
 
22

(b)         Between the time period of 4:00 pm (New York City time) and 6:00 pm (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Financing (or, if the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Financing is the first Trading Day following a holiday or a weekend (including a holiday weekend), between the time period of 4:00 pm (New York City time) on the Trading Day immediately prior to such holiday or weekend and 2:00 pm (New York City time) on the day immediately prior to the Trading Day of the expected announcement of the Subsequent Financing), the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of the Company’s intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (a “Subsequent Financing Notice”), which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet and transaction documents relating thereto as an attachment.
 
(c)        Any Purchaser desiring to participate in such Subsequent Financing must provide written notice to the Company by 6:30 am (New York City time) on the Trading Day following the date on which the Subsequent Financing Notice is delivered to such Purchaser (the “Notice Termination Time”) that such Purchaser is willing to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the amount of such Purchaser’s participation, and representing and warranting that such Purchaser has such funds ready, willing, and available for investment on the terms set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.  If the Company receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such Notice Termination Time, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it does not elect to participate in such Subsequent Financing.
 
(d)        If, by the Notice Termination Time, notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Subsequent Financing, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.
 
(e)         If, by the Notice Termination Time, the Company receives responses to a Subsequent Financing Notice from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum.  “Pro Rata Portion” means the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Shares purchased on the Closing Date by a Purchaser participating under this Section 4.12 and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amounts of Shares purchased on the Closing Date by all Purchasers participating under this Section 4.12.
 
(f)         The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.12, if the definitive agreement related to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not entered into for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within two (2) Trading Days after the date of delivery of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.
 
(g)         The Company and each Purchaser agree that, if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision that, directly or indirectly, will, or is intended to, exclude one or more of the Purchasers from participating in a Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, provisions whereby such Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Shares purchased hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser.  In addition, the Company and each Purchaser agree that, in connection with a Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall include a requirement for the Company to issue a widely disseminated press release by 9:30 am (New York City time) on the Trading Day of execution of the transaction documents in such Subsequent Financing (or, if the date of execution is not a Trading Day, on the immediately following Trading Day) that discloses the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the transaction documents in such Subsequent Financing.
 
23

(h)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.12 and unless otherwise agreed to by such Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that such Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by 9:30 am (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Trading Day following date of delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice.  If by 9:30 am (New York City time) on such second (2nd) Trading Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Shares, the Company shall provide such Purchaser with another Subsequent Financing Notice and such Purchaser will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4.12.  The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser in any sixty (60) day period, except with respect to an amendment or modification of terms and conditions of a Subsequent Financing, which shall be delivered to each Purchaser as a new Subsequent Financing Notice with new time periods commencing in accordance herewith as of the time of delivery of such new Subsequent Financing Notice in accordance herewith.
 
(i)           The restrictions contained in this Section 4.12 shall not apply in connection with an Exempt Issuance.
 
4.13       Equal Treatment of Purchasers.  No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Shares or otherwise.
 
4.14       Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at such time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the initial press release as described in Section 4.4 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Company to the Company or its Subsidiaries after the issuance of the initial press release as described in Section 4.4.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement.

4.15       Reserved.
 
4.16     Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Shares may result in dilution of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.

4.17       No Waiver of Lockup Agreement.  The Company shall not amend, waive, modify or fail to use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce any provision of the Lockup Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Purchaser shall be a third party beneficiary of any Lockup Agreement.

5.1        Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by any Purchaser, as to such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between the Company and the other Purchasers, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof; provided, however, that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by any other party (or parties). This Agreement may be terminated by the Company by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day following the date hereof.
 
5.2       Fees and Expenses.  Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

In addition to the transaction expenses, the Company shall be responsible for the payment of any financial advisory fees, transfer agent fees, DTC fees or broker’s commissions (other than for any Persons engaged by any Purchaser) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered by a Purchaser),  and any stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Shares to the Purchasers.  The Company shall pay, and hold each Purchaser harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment.  Except as otherwise set forth in the Transaction Documents, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses in connection with the sale of the Shares to the Purchasers.
 
25

5.3       Entire Agreement.  The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
 
5.4         Notices.  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of: (a) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto at or prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or email attachment at the email address as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The address for such notices and communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages attached hereto. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Report on Form 6-K.
 
5.5      Amendments; Waivers.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and Purchasers which purchased (a) if on or prior to the Closing Date, 100% or (b) if after the Closing Date, at least 50.1%, as applicable, in interest of the Shares based on the initial Subscription Amounts hereunder or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought, provided that if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Purchaser (or group of Purchasers), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) shall also be required.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser. Any amendment effected in accordance with this Section 5.5 shall be binding upon each Purchaser and the Company.
 
5.6        Headings.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
 
5.7         Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (other than by merger).  Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Shares, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
 
5.8       No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.8.

5.9        Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Action or Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Action or Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Action or Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If any party shall commence an Action or Proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Section 4.8, the prevailing party in such Action or Proceeding shall be reimbursed by the non-prevailing party for its reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such Action or Proceeding.  The Company irrevocably appoints Cogency Global Inc. as its respective authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agree that service of process in any manner permitted by applicable law upon such agent shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process in any manner permitted by applicable law upon the Company, as the case may be, in any such suit or proceeding. The choice of laws of the State of New York as the governing law of this Agreement will be honored by competent courts in the People’s Republic of China and the British Virgin Islands, subject to compliance with relevant People’s Republic of China and British Virgin Islands civil procedural and other requirements. None of the Company nor any of its properties, assets or revenues has any right of immunity under the People’s Republic of China, British Virgin Islands or New York law, from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from the giving of any relief in any such legal action, suit or proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of the People’s Republic of China, British Virgin Islands, New York or United States federal court, from service of process, attachment upon or prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment, in any such court, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement; and, to the extent that the Company, or any of its properties, assets or revenues may have or may hereafter become entitled to any such right of immunity in any such court in which proceedings may at any time be commenced, the Company hereby waives such right to the extent permitted by law and hereby consents to such relief and enforcement as provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
 
5.10       Survival.  The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares for a period of two years from Closing.
 
5.11       Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file or other electronic medium recognized as an electronic signature under applicable law, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile, “.pdf” signature page or other electronic signature were an original thereof.
 
27

5.12      Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
 
5.13       Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
 
5.14       Replacement of Shares.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares are mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction.  The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares.
 
5.15       Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
5.16     Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
5.17     Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.  It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
 
28

5.18      Liquidated Damages.  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
 
5.19      Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc.If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
5.20      Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Ordinary Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward share splits, share dividends, share combinations and other similar transactions of the Ordinary Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
 
5.21      Sales During Pre-Settlement Period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time on or after the time of execution of this Agreement by the Company and an applicable Purchaser, through, and including the time immediately prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Settlement Period”), such Purchaser sells to any Person all, or any portion, of any Shares to be issued hereunder to such Purchaser at the Closing (collectively, the “Pre-Settlement Shares”), such Purchaser shall, automatically hereunder (without any additional required actions by such Purchaser or the Company), be deemed to be unconditionally bound to purchase, and the Company shall be deemed unconditionally bound to sell, such Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser at the Closing; provided, that the Company shall not be required to deliver any Pre-Settlement Shares to such Purchaser prior to the Company's receipt of the purchase price of such Pre-Settlement Shares hereunder; and provided further that the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the forgoing shall not constitute a representation or covenant by such Purchaser as to whether or not during the Pre-Settlement Period such Purchaser shall sell any Shares to any Person and that any such decision to sell any Shares by such Purchaser shall be made, in the sole discretion of such Purchaser, at the time such Purchaser elects to effect any such sale, if any.
 
5.22      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.
