Overview
CIMG Inc. is a company incorporated in Nevada and listed on Nasdaq since June 2020. We were formerly known as "Nuzee, Inc." with a previous ticker symbol "NUZE", and we changed our corporate name and ticker symbol to "CIMG Inc." and "IMG" in October 2024. We previously focused on specialty coffee and related technologies but are now expanding our sales and distribution channels in Asia to encompass a broader range of consumer food and beverage products. This expansion is fueled by our online sales platform, which leverages a natural language search function.
On June 7, 2024, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement ("Share Purchase Agreement") with Masateru Higashida, our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, under which we sold all issued and outstanding shares of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, NuZee KOREA Ltd. and NuZee Investment Co., Ltd., to Mr. Higashida, which sale was completed in June 2024.
Since July 2024, CIMG has been undergoing a transformation in digital marketing, distribution, and sales. As part of this transformation, we have extended our sales and distribution network to include maca-infused food and beverages, reaffirming our commitment to reshaping the online marketing, sales, and distribution landscape for consumer products.
Maca, a plant of the Brassicaceae family that originated in South America, has oval leaves and a rootstock shaped like a small round radish. It is edible and renowned as a natural superfood. Maca is rich in nutrients, boasts high levels of essential nutrients, and is believed to nourish and strengthen the human body. It is often referred to as "South American ginseng." The primary cultivation regions for maca include the Andes Mountains in South America and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang, Yunnan, China.
CIMG has successfully secured the exclusive distribution and sales rights for all maca products produced by Jiangsu Kangduoyuan Beverage Co., Ltd., a leading maca production base in Asia. These products include maca peptide coffee, macanoli fruit beverages, maca wine, maca purified powder, and other full-range offerings. Through a comprehensive digital marketing strategy, CIMG is optimistic in its ability to achieve sales growth and enhance the Company's enterprise value.

The Nasdaq Capital Market symbol | IMG |
On July 11, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain investors (the "Investors"), providing for the sale and issuance of 2,040,814 shares (the "July PIPE Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.00001 per share for an aggregate purchase price of RMB 21,810,000, or approximately $3,000,000, at a price of $1.47 per share, which is equal to the Nasdaq Minimum Price (as defined below). The Nasdaq Minimum Price shall mean the lower of: (i) the closing price of the Company's common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com); or (ii) the average closing price of the Company's common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the securities purchase agreement.
The Shares were issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company relied on these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Investors.
On July 11, 2024, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The Registration Rights Agreement provided, among other things, that the Company will as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than September 30, 2024, file with the SEC (at the Company's sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Shares of Common Stock. The Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.
On July 24, 2024, the Company entered into a convertible note purchase agreement (the "Notes Purchase Agreement") with certain investors (the "Notes Investors") to issue and sell convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of RMB 2,181,000 or approximately USD$300,000, at a conversion price of $0.52 per share (the "Notes"). The closing of the convertible note purchase occurred on July 26, 2024.
On July 26, 2024, the Notes Investors exercised their option to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest of their respective Notes into shares of Common Stock. As a result of such conversions of the Notes, we issued an aggregate of 576,922 shares of Common Stock to the Notes Investors.
4 |
The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7% and have a maturity date of one year following the issuance date. The Notes are convertible any time after the issuance date by the holder into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Note plus any accrued but unpaid interest, divided by (ii) $0.52, the conversion price. On July 26, 2024, the Notes Investors exercised their option to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest of their respective Notes into shares of Common Stock. As a result of such conversions of the Notes, we issued an aggregate of 576,992 shares of Common Stock (the "Note Conversion Shares") to the Notes Investors.
On August 20, 2024, the Company entered into a convertible note purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with certain investors (the "August Notes Investors") to issue and sell convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of USD$1,300,000 (the "August Notes"). The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 7% and have a maturity date of one year from the issuance date. The Notes shall not be converted until the Company obtains shareholder approval for the issuance of shares underlying the Notes. Upon obtaining such approval, the holder may convert the Notes into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus any accrued but unpaid interest, divided by (ii) $0.94, the conversion price. Any conversion of the Notes resulting in a fractional share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
On October 31, 2024, all the August Notes Investors converted their August Notes to shares of Common Stock. As a result of such conversions of the August Notes, we issued an aggregate of 1,396,813 shares of Common Stock to the August Notes Investors.
On September 24, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "September Purchase Agreement") with certain investors (the "September Investors"), providing for the sale and issuance of 3,508,769 shares of the Company's Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 at the Nasdaq Minimum Price (as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5635(d)), or $0.57 per share. On October 14, 2024, the Company issued 2,807,015 shares of Common Stock in consideration of the purchase price of $1,600,000 to four non-U.S. investors pursuant to the September Purchase Agreement following receipt of the purchase amounts. On October 22, 2024, the Company issued 701,754 shares of Common Stock in consideration of the purchase price of $400,000 to one non-U.S. investor pursuant to the September Purchase Agreement following receipt of the purchase amount.
On October 18, 2024, the holders of warrants issued by the Company exercised its cashless option to purchase an aggregate of 55,973 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to warrants issued by the Company. Such warrants were previously issued pursuant to the convertible note and warrant purchase agreement dated April 27, 2024, as disclosed in the current report of the Company on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 2, 2024. In connection with such cashless exercise, the Company will not receive any cash proceeds. The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants were registered under a registration statement filed by the Company on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280251), which was declared effective by the U.S. SEC on July 1, 2024.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented and updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we have filed or will file with the SEC, and in other documents which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including all future filings we make with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as well as the risk factors and other information contained in or incorporated by reference into any accompanying prospectus supplement before investing in any of our securities. Our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The risks and uncertainties described in the documents incorporated by reference herein are not the only risks and uncertainties that you may face. For more information about our SEC filings, please see "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference."
Sales of a substantial number of our securities in the public market by our existing securityholders could cause the price of our shares of Common Stock to fall.
Sales of a substantial number of our shares of Common Stock on the public market by our existing securityholders, or the perception that those sales might occur, could depress the market price of our shares of Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our shares of Common Stock.
Risks Related to Doing Business in China
Changes in China's economic, political, or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Part of our assets and operations are currently located in China. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be influenced, to a significant degree, by political, economic, and social conditions in China generally.
While the Chinese economy has experienced significant growth over the past decades, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy, and the rate of growth has been slowing down. Any changes in economic conditions in China, in the policies of the Chinese government, or in the laws and regulations in China could have a material adverse effect on the overall economic growth of China. Such developments could adversely affect our business and operating results, reduce demand for our services, and weaken our competitive position. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guided the allocation of various types of resources. Some of these measures may benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may have a negative effect on our operations. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government regulation over capital investments or changes in tax regulations. In the past, the Chinese government has implemented certain measures to control the pace of economic growth, such as interest rate adjustments.
6 |
The Chinese government has significant authority to exert influence on the conduct of our business and may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which result in a material change in our operations, and significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
The PRC government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our PRC business and may intervene or influence our operations at any time with little advance notice. Therefore, uncertainties in the PRC legal system and the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws and regulations could limit the legal protection available to you and us, hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer the securities, result in a material adverse effect on our business operations, and damage our reputation, which could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
The economic, political and social conditions in the PRC differ from those in more developed countries in many respects, including structure, government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange, capital reinvestment, allocation of resources, rate of inflation and trade balance position. Before the adoption of its reform and opening up policies in 1978, the PRC was primarily a planned economy. In recent years, the PRC government has been reforming the PRC economic system and government structure. For example, the PRC government has implemented economic reform and measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces in the development of the PRC economy in the past three decades. These reforms have resulted in significant economic growth and social prospects. Economic reform measures, however, may be adjusted, modified or applied inconsistently from industry to industry or across different regions of the country.
We cannot predict whether the resulting changes will have any adverse effect on our current or future business, financial condition or results of operations. Despite these economic reforms and measures, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industrial development, allocation of natural and other resources, production, pricing and management of currency, and there can be no assurance that the PRC government will continue to pursue a policy of economic reform. Our ability to successfully expand business operations in the PRC depends on a number of factors, including macro-economic and other market conditions. Demand for our future products in the Chinese market and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by the following factors:
● | changes in political or social conditions of the PRC; |
● | changes in laws, regulations, and administrative directives or the interpretation thereof; |
● | measures which may be introduced to control inflation or deflation; and |
● | changes in the rate or method of taxation. |
7 |
These factors are affected by a number of variables which are beyond our control.
The Chinese government has shown an increased inclination to and may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the "Trial Measures"), and five supporting guidelines, which came into effect on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, domestic companies that seek to offer or list securities overseas, both directly and indirectly, should fulfill the filing procedure and report relevant information to the CSRC.
Any actions by the PRC government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers like us could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
Uncertainties with respect to the enforcement of laws, and changes in laws and regulations in China with little advance notice, could materially and adversely affect us.
Our operations in mainland China are governed by PRC laws and regulations. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Unlike the common law system, prior court decisions may be cited for reference but do not have binding authority. There are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of PRC laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the laws and regulations governing our business and the enforcement and performance of our business arrangements in certain circumstances. The laws and regulations are sometimes vague and may be subject to future changes, and their official interpretation and enforcement could be unpredictable, with little advance notice. The effectiveness and interpretation of newly enacted laws or regulations, including amendments to existing laws and regulations, may be delayed, and our business may be affected if we rely on laws and regulations which are subsequently adopted or interpreted in a manner different from our current understanding of these laws and regulations. New laws and regulations that affect existing and proposed future businesses may also be applied retroactively. We cannot predict what effect the interpretation of existing or new PRC laws or regulations may have on our business.
As certain laws and regulations which apply to us are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published decisions and their nonbinding nature, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties. In addition, the PRC legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which may not be published on a timely basis or at all, and some of which may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. Any administrative and court proceedings in China may be protracted, resulting in substantial costs and diversion of resources and management attention. However, since PRC administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. These uncertainties may also impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into. As a result, these uncertainties could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
8 |
We may be affected by the currency conversion system.
The PRC government imposes regulation and limitation on the conversion of the RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the mainland PRC. Our PRC subsidiary receives substantially all of its revenue in RMB. Under our current corporate structure, to fund any cash and financing requirements CIMG may have, CIMG may rely on dividend payments from the subsidiaries. As such we may convert a portion of the subsidiaries' revenue into other currencies to meet the foreign currency obligations, such as payments of dividends, if any. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of the subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to CIMG. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, such as profit distributions and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. Therefore, the subsidiaries are able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to CIMG without prior approval from SAFE, subject to the condition that the remittance of such dividends outside of the mainland PRC complies with certain procedures under PRC foreign exchange regulations. Approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is, however, required where the RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of mainland China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion regulate access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions. If the foreign exchange control system prevents the subsidiaries from obtaining sufficient foreign currencies to satisfy its foreign currency demand, the subsidiaries may not be able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to CIMG shareholders. In addition, the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules provide that a withholding tax at a rate of 10% will be applicable to dividends payable by Chinese companies to non-PRC resident enterprises, unless reduced under treaties or arrangements between the PRC central government and the governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC resident enterprises are tax resident.
We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Chinese anti-corruption law.
In connection with any future offering, we may be subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by U.S. persons and issuers as defined by the statute for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. We may also be subjected to Chinese anti-corruption laws, which strictly prohibit the payment of bribes to government officials. Going forward, we may have operations, agreements with third parties, and make sales in China, which may experience corruption. Our future activities in China may create the risk of unauthorized payments or offers of payments by one of the employees of our Company, because sometimes these employees are out of our control. Violations of the FCPA or Chinese anti-corruption laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, and we may be subject to other liabilities, which could negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition. In addition, the government may seek to hold our Company liable for successor liability FCPA violations committed by companies in which we invest or that we acquire.

Evolution with respect to the PRC legal system could adversely affect us.
The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes, where prior court decisions have limited precedential value.
In particular, PRC laws and regulations concerning the oil equipment industries are developing and evolving. Although we have taken measures to comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our business operations and to avoid conducting any non-compliant activities under these laws and regulations, the PRC governmental authorities may promulgate new laws and regulations regulating internet-related industries. We cannot assure you that our business operations would not be deemed to violate any such new PRC laws or regulations. Moreover, developments in the industries may lead to changes in PRC laws, regulations and policies, which in turn may limit or restrict us, and could materially and adversely affect our business and operations.
Because our PRC subsidiary's business is conducted in Chinese yuan or RMB and the price of our Common Stock is quoted in United States dollars, changes in currency conversion rates may affect the amount of proceeds we will receive after the currency exchange from U.S. dollars to RMB.
A portion of our business operations is conducted in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). For the portion of our business conducted in the PRC, our internal books and records are recorded in Renminbi or "RMB", which is the legal currency of the mainland PRC, and the audited consolidated financial statements that we file with the SEC and provide to our shareholders are presented in United States dollars. Changes in the exchange rate between the RMB and U.S. dollars would affect the value of our assets and the results of our operations denominated in United States dollars. The value of the RMB against the United States dollars and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in the PRC's political and economic conditions and perceived changes in the economy of the PRC and the United States. Any significant revaluation of the RMB may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenue and financial condition presented in U.S. dollars. Further, we will need to convert the net proceeds denominated in U.S. dollars we receive in this offering into RMB in order to use the funds for our business in the PRC. Any decrease in the conversion rate from the United States dollars to the RMB would reduce the amount of net proceeds in RMB we would receive after the currency conversion and therefore adversely affect our ability to implement our plan to use such proceeds from the offering.

If we become subject to the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and resolve such matters, which could harm our business operations, stock price and reputation.
U.S. public companies that have substantially all of their operations in China have been the subject of intense scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity by investors, financial commentators and U.S. regulatory agencies. Much of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity has centered on financial and accounting irregularities, lack of effective internal controls over financial accounting, inadequate corporate governance policies and, in many cases, allegations of fraudulent activities. While not all of our operations are based in China, a portion of our business is conducted there, which may subject us to similar scrutiny. As a result of the scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed Chinese companies have experienced and may experience in the future high volatility in trading prices and market value and, in some cases, may be subject to the delisting procedures from the national stock exchanges. Some of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions and are conducting internal and external investigations into the allegations. It is not clear what effect this sector-wide scrutiny, criticism and negative publicity will have on our business and stock prices when listed on a national stock exchange. If we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations, whether such allegations are proven to be true or false, we will have to expend significant capital and time to investigate such allegations and defend our company. If such allegations are proven to have merits, we and our business operations could be severely affected and you could sustain a significant loss in your investment in our Common Stock.
The newly enacted "HFCAA" and "AHFCAA" both call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to restrictive market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our offering and if our auditors fail to permit the PCAOB to inspect the auditing firm, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting.
On April 21, 2020, the SEC and the PCAOB released a joint statement highlighting the risks associated with investing in companies based in or having substantial operations in certain "restrictive markets," including China. The joint statement emphasized the risks associated with lack of access from the PCAOB to inspect auditors and audit work papers in China and higher risks of fraud in the markets where the PCAOB has limited access to the local auditing firms and their work.
On May 18, 2020, Nasdaq filed three proposals with the SEC to (i) apply a minimum offering size requirement for companies primarily operating in a restrictive market, (ii) adopt a new requirement relating to the qualification of management or the board of directors of companies in the restrictive markets, and (iii) apply additional and more stringent criteria to an applicant or listed company based on the qualifications of the company's auditor.
On December 18, 2020, the "HFCAA" was signed by President Donald Trump and became law. This legislation requires certain issuers to establish that they are not owned or controlled by a foreign government. Specifically, an issuer must make this certification if the PCAOB is unable to audit specified reports because the issuer has retained a foreign public accounting firm that is not subject to inspection by the PCAOB. Furthermore, if the PCAOB is unable to inspect the issuer's public accounting firm for three consecutive years, the issuer's securities are banned from trading on a national stock exchange.
On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCAA, which became law in December 2020. In June 2021, the Senate passed the AHFCAA, which was signed into law and reduced the time period for the delisting of foreign companies under the HFCAA to two consecutive, instead of three years.
On August 26, 2022, the SEC issued a statement announcing that the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China and Hong Kong, jointly agreeing on the need for a framework.
On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced it secured complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate the previous 2021 Determination Report to the contrary. However, whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainties and depends on a number of factors out of our and our auditor's control. The PCAOB continues to demand complete access in mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has also indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCAA if needed.

Our auditor, MaloneBailey LLP, headquartered in Texas, United States, is an independent registered public accounting firm with the PCAOB and is subject to laws in the U.S. pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Our auditor has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis. However, the above recent developments may have added uncertainties to our listing, to which Nasdaq may apply additional and more stringent criteria with respect to our auditor's audit and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, sufficiency of resources, geographic reach, and experience as related to their audits. If independent registered public accounting firm fails to permit PCAOB to inspect its firm, our Common Stock may be subject to delisting by the stock exchange where such Common Stock will be listed.
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions against us or our management named in the prospectus based on foreign laws.
CIMG Inc. is a company incorporated under the laws of State of Nevada, but we generate part our revenues from China and part of our assets are located in China. In addition, all of our senior executive officers reside within China for a significant portion of the time and all are PRC nationals. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process upon us or those persons inside mainland China. It may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors as none of them currently resides in the U.S. or has substantial assets located in the U.S.
The recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. Mainland PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions.
You may incur additional costs and procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or our management named in this prospectus based on Hong Kong laws.
We currently have one subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong, DZR Tech Limited. You may incur additional costs and procedural obstacles in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions in Hong Kong against us or our management named in the prospectus, as judgments entered in the United States can be enforced in Hong Kong only at common law. If you want to enforce a judgment of the United States in Hong Kong, it must be a final judgment conclusive upon the merits of the claim, for a liquidated amount in a civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges, the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice, and the enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Hong Kong. Such a judgment must be for a fixed sum and must also come from a "competent" court as determined by the private international law rules applied by the Hong Kong courts.
The common law permits an action to be brought upon a foreign judgment. That is to say, a foreign judgment itself may form the basis of a cause of action since the judgment may be regarded as creating a debt between the parties to it. In a common law action for enforcement of a foreign judgment in Hong Kong, the enforcement is subject to various conditions, including but not limited to, that the foreign judgment is a final judgment conclusive upon the merits of the claim, the judgment is for a liquidated amount in civil matter and not in respect of taxes, fines, penalties, or similar charges, the proceedings in which the judgment was obtained were not contrary to natural justice, and the enforcement of the judgment is not contrary to public policy of Hong Kong. Such a judgment must be for a fixed sum and must also come from a "competent" court as determined by the private international law rules applied by the Hong Kong courts. The defenses that are available to a defendant in a common law action brought on the basis of a foreign judgment include lack of jurisdiction, breach of natural justice, fraud, and contrary to public policy. However, a separate legal action for debt must be commenced in Hong Kong in order to recover such debt from the judgment debtor. As a result, subject to the conditions with regard to enforcement of judgments of United States courts being met, including but not limited to the above, a foreign judgment of United States of civil liabilities predicated solely upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any State or territory within the United States could be enforceable in Hong Kong.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Common Stock offered by this prospectus is being offered by the Selling Stockholders. The Common Stock may be sold or distributed from time to time by the Selling Stockholders directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
● | ordinary brokers' transactions; |
● | transactions involving cross or block trades; |
● | through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents; |
● | "at the market" into an existing market for the common stock; |
● | in other ways not involving market makers or established business markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents; |
● | in privately negotiated transactions; or |
● | any combination of the foregoing. |
In addition, any securities that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the securities or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of our securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling Stockholders. The Selling Stockholders may also sell our securities short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Stockholders may also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If an applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by the Selling Stockholders or borrowed from the Selling Stockholders or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from the Selling Stockholders in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities. If applicable through securities laws, the third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, the Selling Stockholders may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the Selling Stockholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
We have advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of securities is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.

Legal fees and expenses | * | |||

Item 14. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
The Company's articles of incorporation, as amended, and third amended and restated bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing indemnification obligation includes, without limitation, claims for monetary damages against an indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted under Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes as in existence on the date hereof.
The indemnification provided shall be from and against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such indemnified person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such indemnified person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such indemnified person's conduct was unlawful.
In the case of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such indemnified person is or was a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which the indemnified person shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such indemnified person's duty to the Company unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite circumstances of the case, such indemnified person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as such court shall deem proper.
The termination of any action or suit by judgment or settlement shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.
II-1 |
To the extent that indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. If a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by any of the Company's directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by the Company is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of that issue.
Item 15. | Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. |

Item 17. | Undertakings. |
(a) | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) | to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
(ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee Tables" or "Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and |
(iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
provided, however, that: Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: |
(i) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
(ii) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
II-5 |
(5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
(6) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, 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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
