PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information
contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. This summary does
not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. Before making an investment decision,
you should read the entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein
and therein carefully, including the risk factors sections, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements
incorporated herein and therein by reference.
In this prospectus supplement, unless otherwise
indicated, the terms “China SXT,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer
and relate to China SXT Pharmaceuticals, Inc and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our Company
We are an offshore holding
company incorporated in British Virgin Islands, conducting all of our business through our subsidiaries and variable interests entity,
Jiangsu Taizhou Suxantang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Taizhou Suxuantang” or the “VIE”) in China. Neither we nor
our subsidiaries own any share in Taizhou Suxuantang. Instead, we control and receive the economic benefits of Taizhou Suxuantang’s
business operation through a series of contractual arrangements, also known as VIE Agreements. The VIE Agreements by and among our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Taizhou Suxantang Biotechnology Co. Ltd. (the “WFOE”), Taizhou Suxuantang, and Taizhou Suxuantang’s shareholders
include (i) certain power of attorney agreements and equity interest pledge agreement, which provide WFOE effective control over Taizhou
Suxuantang; (ii) an exclusive technical consulting and service agreement which allows WFOE to receive substantially all of the economic
benefits from Taizhou Suxuantang; and (iii) certain exclusive equity interest purchase agreements which provide WFOE with an exclusive
option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in and/or assets of Taizhou Suxuantang when and to the extent permitted by PRC
laws. Through the VIE Agreements among WFOE, Taizhou Suxuantang and Taizhou Suxuantang’s shareholders, we are regarded as the primary
beneficiary of Taizhou Suxuantang for accounting purpose, and, therefore, we are able to consolidate the financial results of Taizhou
Suxuantang in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, the VIE structure cannot completely replicate
a foreign investment in China-based companies, as the investors will not and may never directly hold equity interests in the Chinese operating
entities. Instead, the VIE structure provides contractual exposure to foreign investment in us. Because we do not directly hold equity
interests in the VIE, we are subject to risks due to uncertainty of the interpretation and the application of the PRC laws and regulations,
including but not limited to limitation on foreign ownership of internet technology companies, regulatory review of oversea listing of
PRC companies through a special purpose vehicle, and the validity and enforcement of the VIE Agreements. We are also subject to the risks
of uncertainty about any future actions of the PRC government in this regard that could disallow the VIE structure, which would likely
result in a material change in our operations and the value of Ordinary Shares may depreciate significantly or become worthless.
Our VIE Agreements may not
be effective in providing control over Taizhou Suxuantang. We may also subject to sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies including
Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, if we fail to comply with their rules and regulations.
Through
Taizhou Suxuantang and its subsidiaries, we are an innovative pharmaceutical company based in China that focuses on the research, development,
manufacture, marketing and sales of traditional Chinese medicine and pharmacology (“TCMP”). TCMP is a type of traditional
Chinese medicine (“TCM”) products that has been widely accepted by Chinese people for thousands of years. Throughout the
decades of years, TCMP products’ origin, identification, preparation process, quality standard, indication, dosage and administration,
precautions, and storage have been well documented, listed and specified in “China Pharmacopoeia” a state-governmental issued
guidance on manufacturing TCMP. In recent years, the TCMP industry enjoyed more rapid growth than any other segments of the pharmaceutical
industry primarily due to the favorable government policies for the TCMP industry. Because of the favorable government policies, TCMP
products do not have to go through rigorous clinical trials before commercialization. We currently sell three types of TCMP products:
Advanced TCMP, Fine TCMP and Regular TCMP. Although all of our TCMP products are generic TCMP drugs and we did not change the medical
effects of these products in any significant way, these products are innovative in terms of their unconventional administration. The
complexity of the manufacturing process is what differentiates our products. Advanced TCMP typically has the highest quality because
it requires specialized equipment and preparation processes to manufacture, and has to go through more manufacturing steps to produce
than Fine TCMP and Regular TCMP. Fine TCMP is manufactured with more refined ingredients than Regular TCMP.
Our Corporate Structure
China SXT Pharmaceutical Inc. is a British Virgin
Islands corporation which holds 100% Ordinary Shares of its wholly owned Hong Kong subsidiary, China SXT Group Limited. China SXT Group
Limited holds all of the share capital of Taizhou Suxuantang Biotechnology Co. Ltd., a wholly foreign-owned enterprise. Taizhou Suxuantang
Biotechnology Co. Ltd., through a series of contractual arrangements, controls our operating entity, Jiangsu Taizhou Suxuantang Pharmaceutical
Col. Ltd.
The following diagram illustrates
our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus supplement:
Permission Required from the PRC Authorities
for The VIE’s Operation and This Offering
On December 24, 2021, the
China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, issued Provisions of the State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities
Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (the “Administration Provisions”), and the Provisions of the
State Council on the Administration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (Draft for Comments) (the “Measures”),
which are now open for public comments. The Administration Provisions and Measures for overseas listings lay out specific requirements
for filing documents and include unified regulation management, strengthening regulatory coordination, and cross-border regulatory cooperation.
Domestic companies seeking to list abroad must carry out relevant security screening procedures if their businesses involve such supervision.
Companies endangering national security are among those off-limits for overseas listings. According to Relevant Officials of the CSRC
Answered Reporter Questions (“CSRC Answers”), after the Administration Provisions and Measures are implemented upon completion
of public consultation and due legislative procedures, the CSRC will formulate and issue guidance for filing procedures to further specify
the details of filing administration and ensure that market entities could refer to clear guidelines for filing, which means it still
takes time to make the Administration Provisions and Measures into effect. As the Administration Provisions and Measures have not yet
come into effect, we are currently unaffected. However, according to CSRC Answers, new initial public offerings and refinancing by existent
overseas listed Chinese companies will be required to go through the filing process; other existent overseas listed companies will be
allowed sufficient transition period to complete their filing procedure, which means we will certainly go through the filing process in
the future.
Based on our understanding
of the current PRC laws and regulations and the proposed drafts of the Administration Provisions and the Measures, we are currently not
required to obtain permission from any of the PRC authorities to operate and issue our Ordinary Shares to foreign investors. In addition,
we, our subsidiaries, or VIE are not required to obtain permission or approval from the PRC authorities including CSRC or CAC for the
VIE’s operation, nor have we, our subsidiaries, or VIE received any denial for the VIE’s operation. However, recently, the
General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the
“Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law,” or the Opinions, which was made available
to the public on July 6, 2021. The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securities activities, and
the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies. Effective measures, such as promoting the construction
of relevant regulatory systems will be taken to deal with the risks and incidents of China-concept overseas listed companies, and cybersecurity
and data privacy protection requirements and similar matters. The Opinions and any related implementing rules to be enacted may subject
us to compliance requirement in the future. Given the current regulatory environment in the PRC, we are still subject to the uncertainty
of different interpretation and enforcement of the rules and regulations in the PRC adverse to us, which may take place quickly with little
advance notice.
Dividend Distributions or Assets Transfer among the Holding Company,
its Subsidiaries and the Consolidated VIE
We rely principally on dividends
and other distributions on equity from Taizhou Suxuantang and its subsidiaries for our cash requirements, including for services of any
debt we may incur. Taizhou Suxuantang and its subsidiaries’ ability to distribute dividends is based upon their distributable earnings.
Current PRC regulations permit Taizhou Suxuantang and its subsidiaries to pay dividends to their respective shareholders only out of their
accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, each of Taizhou Suxuantang
and its subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of its after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund a statutory reserve until
such reserve reaches 50% of each of their registered capitals. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. If our PRC subsidiaries
incur debt on their own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other
payments to us. Any limitation on the ability of Taizhou Suxuantang and its subsidiaries to distribute dividends or other payments to
their respective shareholders could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be
beneficial to our businesses, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct our business.
To address the persistent
capital outflow and the RMB’s depreciation against the U.S. dollar in the fourth quarter of 2016, the People’s Bank of China
and the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, have implemented a series of capital control measures in the subsequent months,
including stricter vetting procedures for China-based companies to remit foreign currency for overseas acquisitions, dividend payments
and shareholder loan repayments. For instance, the Circular on Promoting the Reform of Foreign Exchange Management and Improving Authenticity
and Compliance Review, or the SAFE Circular 3, issued on January 26, 2017, provides that the banks shall, when dealing with dividend remittance
transactions from domestic enterprise to its offshore shareholders of more than US$50,000, review the relevant board resolutions, original
tax filing form and audited financial statements of such domestic enterprise based on the principal of genuine transaction. The PRC government
may continue to strengthen its capital controls and Taizhou Suxuantang and its subsidiaries’ dividends and other distributions may
be subject to tightened scrutiny in the future. Any limitation on the ability of Taizhou Suxuantang and its subsidiaries to pay dividends
or make other distributions to us could materially and adversely limit our ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could
be beneficial to our business, pay dividends, or otherwise fund and conduct our business.
In addition, the 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
governments of other countries or regions where the non-PRC resident enterprises are tax resident. Pursuant to the tax agreement between
Mainland China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the withholding tax rate in respect to the payment of dividends by a PRC
enterprise to a Hong Kong enterprise may be reduced to 5% from a standard rate of 10% if the Hong Kong enterprise (i) directly holds at
least 25% of the PRC enterprise, (ii) is a tax resident in Hong Kong and (iii) could be recognized as a beneficial owner of the dividend
from PRC tax perspective. Under administrative guidance, a Hong Kong resident enterprise must meet the following conditions, among others,
in order to apply the reduced withholding tax rate: (i) it must be a company; (ii) it must directly own the required percentage of equity
interests and voting rights in the PRC resident enterprise; and (iii) it must have directly owned such required percentage in the PRC
resident enterprise throughout the 12 months prior to receiving the dividends. Nonresident enterprises are not required to obtain pre-approval
from the relevant tax authority in order to enjoy the reduced withholding tax. Instead, nonresident enterprises and their withholding
agents may, by self-assessment and on confirmation that the prescribed criteria to enjoy the tax treaty benefits are met, directly apply
the reduced withholding tax rate, and file necessary forms and supporting documents when performing tax filings, which will be subject
to post-tax filing examinations by the relevant tax authorities. Accordingly, our wholly owned subsidiary China SXT Group Limited (“SXT
HK”) incorporated in Hong Kong may be able to benefit from the 5% withholding tax rate for the dividends it receives from our PRC
subsidiaries, if it satisfies the conditions prescribed under Guoshuihan [2009] 81 and other relevant tax rules and regulations. However,
if the relevant tax authorities consider the transactions or arrangements we have are for the primary purpose of enjoying a favorable
tax treatment, the relevant tax authorities may adjust the favorable withholding tax in the future. Accordingly, there is no assurance
that the reduced 5% will apply to dividends received by SXT HK from Taizhou Suxuantang and its subsidiaries. This withholding tax will
reduce the amount of dividends we may receive from Taizhou Suxuantang and its subsidiaries.
As of the date of this prospectus
supplement, we, our subsidiaries, and the VIE have not distributed any earnings or settled any amounts owed under the VIE Agreements,
nor do they have any plan to distribute earnings or settle amounts owed under the VIE Agreements in the foreseeable future. As of the
date of this prospectus supplement, none of our subsidiaries or VIE have made any dividends or distributions to us and we has not made
any dividends or distributions to our shareholders.
In December 2018, we
reconstructed and assembled a facility and received a “Food Manufacturing Certificate” issued by the local Food and Drug Administration,
which granted the Company permission to produce TCM Homologous Supplements (“TCMHS”), a classification of health-supporting
food used traditionally in China as TCM but which are also consumed as food. The scope of production includes “Substitute Teas,”
made of TCMHS plants, and “Solid Beverages,” a kind of granule produced through extraction of TCMHS materials.
We have successfully developed
four (4) solid beverage products which were commercially launched in April 2019.
We have developed nineteen (19) Advanced TCMPs, seventeen (17) of which
have been produced and marketed, ten (10) Fine TCMPs, two hundred thirty-five (235) Regular TCMPs and four (4) TCMHS solid beverages.
Advanced TCMP has gradually become our principal product due to its quality and greater market potential. For the six months ended September
30, 2021, Advanced TCMP brought in 28% of the total revenue, whereas Fine TCMP and Regular TCMP each brought in 16% and 47% of the total
revenue respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, Advanced TCMP brought in 37% of the total revenue, whereas Fine TCMP and
Regular TCMP each brought in 12% and 30% of the total revenue respectively. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, Advanced TCMP brought
in 30.6% of the total revenue, whereas Fine TCMP and Regular TCMP each brought in 20.0% and 44.2% of the total revenue respectively. For
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, Advanced TCMP brought in 51.8% of the total revenue, whereas Fine TCMP and Regular TCMP each brought
in 7.5% and 40.7% of the total revenue respectively. Our Advanced TCMP includes nineteen products, which can be further divided into seven
Directly-Oral TCMP products, and ten After-Soaking-Oral TCMP products. Directly-Oral TCMP, as the name suggests, has the advantage of
being taken orally. Following the principle of Directly-Oral-TCMP, we have established a new scientific and technological strategy and
methods for the research and development of the direct-oral pharmaceutical TCMP products. We believe our Directly-Oral TCMP products comply
with the regulations of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and provincial MPA, as well as keep the principles of TCM.
The After-Soak-Oral TCMP comes as a small, porous, sealed bag that can be immersed in boiling water to make an infusion. Our major Directly-Oral-TCMP
are SanQiFen, CuYanHuSuo, XiaTianWu and LuXueJing; our major After-Soaking-Oral-TCMP are ChenXiang, SuMu, ChaoSuanZaoRen, and JiangXiang.
For each principal product’s indications and year of commercialization, see “Business – Our Products” in our annual
report on the Form 20-F.
Taizhou Suxuantang, the VIE
entity, was founded in 2005 and has grown significantly in recent years. Our net revenues decreased from $3,860,501 for the six months
ended September 30, 2020 to $1,027,674 for the six months ended September 30, 2021, representing a decrease of 73%. Our net income decreased
from $1,381,258 for the six months ended September 30, 2020 to a net loss of $3,091,824 for the six months ended September 30, 2021, representing
a decrease of 324% of net income during this period. Our net revenues decreased from $5,162,268 in fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 to
$4,777,573 in fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of 7%. Our net loss decreased from $10,287,872 in fiscal year
ended March 31, 2020 to $2,748,183 in fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of 73% of net loss during this period.
Our net revenues decreased from $7,012,026 in fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 to $5,162,268 in fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, representing
a decrease of 26%. Our net income decreased from $1,539,227 in fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 to a net loss of $10,287,872 in fiscal
year ended March 31, 2020, representing a decrease of 768% during this period.
We own fourteen (14) Chinese registered trademarks related to our brand
“Suxuantang.” Our TCMP products received the prestigious award of Jiangsu Taizhou Famous Product, and Well-known Brand Trademark
in December 2016, and 2017, respectively. The awards were granted by the Government of Taizhou City, Jiangsu, China. In the near future,
we plan to increase our efforts in cooperating with universities, research institutes, and R&D agents on joint R&D projects involving
TCMP processing methods and quality standard, as well as the training of our researchers.
We have been focusing on the
research and development of new Advanced TCMP products. We submitted eight invention patent applications regarding Advanced TCMP to the
State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC in the Spring of 2017. We also submitted five additional invention patent applications to
the State Intellectual Property Office of PRC afterwards, one of which was rejected as of the date of this prospectus supplement. All
of these patents have been under the substantive examination stages, which do not involve new products.
Our major customers are hospitals, especially TCM hospitals, primarily
in the Jiangsu province in China. Another substantial part of our sales are made to pharmaceutical distributors, which then sell our products
to hospitals and other healthcare distributors. As of July 31, 2021, our end-customer base includes seventy (70) pharmaceutical
companies, twelve (12) chain pharmacies and fifty-nine (59) hospitals in ten (10) provinces and municipalities in China including
Jiangsu, Hubei, Shandong, Hebei, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Anhui, Henan, Liaoning, and Fujian.

RISK FACTORS
Before you make a decision to invest in our
securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with other information in this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying base prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. If any of the following events actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects or
financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our Ordinary Shares to decline and
you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently
known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations and could result in a complete
loss of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Corporate Structure
If the PRC government deems that the contractual arrangements
in relation to Taizhou Suxuantang, the consolidated variable interest entity, do not comply with PRC regulatory restrictions on foreign
investment in the relevant industries, or if these regulations or the interpretation of existing regulations change in the future, we
could be subject to severe penalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.
We are a holding company incorporated under the laws of British Virgin
Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, we conduct all of our operations through our subsidiaries established
in PRC and the VIE. We control and receive the economic benefits of the VIE’s business operations through certain contractual arrangements.
Our Ordinary Shares and Pre-funded Warrants offered in this offering are securities of our offshore holding company instead of those of
the VIE in China.
The VIE contributed 100% of the Company’s consolidated results
of operations and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the VIE accounted for
approximately 91% of the consolidated total assets and 94% of total liabilities of the Company, respectively. The VIE contributed 100%
of the Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As
of March 31, 2021, the VIE accounted for approximately 79% of the consolidated total assets and 92% of total liabilities of the Company,
respectively.
We rely on and expect to continue to rely on the VIE Agreements. These
VIE Agreements may not be as effective in providing us with control over Taizhou Suxuantang as ownership of controlling equity interests
would be in providing us with control over, or enabling us to derive economic benefits from the operations of Taizhou Suxuantang. Under
the current VIE Agreements, as a legal matter, if Taizhou Suxuantang or any of its shareholders executing the VIE Agreements fails to
perform its, his or her respective obligations under these VIE Agreements, we may have to incur substantial costs and resources to enforce
such arrangements, and rely on legal remedies available under PRC laws, including seeking specific performance or injunctive relief, and
claiming damages, which we cannot assure you will be effective. For example, if shareholders of the VIE were to refuse to transfer their
equity interests in the VIE to us or our designated persons when we exercise the purchase option pursuant to these VIE Agreements, we
may have to take a legal action to compel them to fulfill their contractual obligations.
If (i) the applicable PRC authorities invalidate these VIE Agreements
for violation of PRC laws, rules and regulations, (ii) the VIE or its shareholders terminate the VIE Agreements (iii) the VIE or its shareholders
fail to perform its/his/her obligations under these VIE Agreements, or (iv) if these regulations change or are interpreted differently
in the future, our business operations in China would be materially and adversely affected, and the value of your shares would substantially
decrease or even become worthless. Further, if we fail to renew these VIE Agreements upon their expiration, we would not be able to continue
our business operations unless the then current PRC law allows us to directly operate businesses in China.
In addition, if the VIE or all or part of its assets become subject
to liens or rights of third-party creditors, we may be unable to continue some or all of our business activities, which could materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If the VIE undergoes a voluntary or involuntary liquidation
proceeding, its shareholders or unrelated third-party creditors may claim rights to some or all of its assets, thereby hindering our ability
to operate our business, which could materially and adversely affect our business and our ability to generate revenues.
All of these VIE Agreements are governed by PRC law and provide for
the resolution of disputes through arbitration in the PRC. The legal environment in the PRC is not as developed as in some other jurisdictions,
such as the United States. As a result, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit our ability to enforce these VIE Agreements.
In the event we are unable to enforce these VIE Agreements, we may not be able to exert effective control over our operating entities
and we may be precluded from operating our business, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.
These VIE Agreements may not be as effective as direct ownership in
providing us with control over the VIE. For example, the VIE and its shareholders could breach their VIE Agreements with us by, among
other things, failing to conduct their operations in an acceptable manner or taking other actions that are detrimental to our interests.
If we had direct ownership of the VIE, we would be able to exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in the board of directors
of the VIE, which in turn could implement changes, subject to any applicable fiduciary obligations, at the management and operational
level. However, under the current VIE Agreements, we rely on the performance by the VIE and its shareholders of their obligations under
the contracts to exercise control over the VIE. The shareholders of our consolidated VIE may not act in the best interests of our company
or may not perform their obligations under these contracts. Such risks exist throughout the period in which we intend to operate certain
portions of our business through the VIE Agreements with the VIE.
If the VIE or its shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations
under the VIE Agreements, we may have to incur substantial costs and expend additional resources to enforce such arrangements. For example,
if the shareholders of the VIE refuse to transfer their equity interest in the VIE to us or our designee if we exercise the purchase option
pursuant to these VIE Agreements, or if they otherwise act in bad faith toward us, then we may have to take legal actions to compel them
to perform their contractual obligations. In addition, if any third parties claim any interest in such shareholders’ equity interests
in the VIE, our ability to exercise shareholders’ rights or foreclose the share pledge according to the VIE Agreements may be impaired.
If these or other disputes between the shareholders of the VIE and third parties were to impair our control over the VIE, our ability
to consolidate the financial results of the VIE would be affected, which would in turn result in a material adverse effect on our business,
operations and financial condition.
In the opinion of our PRC legal counsel, each of the VIE Agreements
among our WFOE, the VIE and its shareholders governed by PRC laws are valid, binding and enforceable, and will not result in any violation
of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect. However, our PRC legal counsel has also advised us that there are substantial uncertainties
regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws, regulations and rules. Accordingly, the PRC regulatory authorities
may ultimately take a view that is contrary to the opinion of our PRC legal counsel. In addition, it is uncertain whether any new PRC
laws or regulations relating to variable interest entity structures will be adopted or if adopted, what they would provide. PRC government
authorities may deem that foreign ownership is directly or indirectly involved in the VIE’s shareholding structure. If our corporate
structure and VIE Agreements are deemed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, or MIIT, or the Ministry of Commerce,
or MOFCOM, or other regulators having competent authority to be illegal, either in whole or in part, we may lose control of our consolidated
VIE and have to modify such structure to comply with regulatory requirements. However, there can be no assurance that we can achieve this
without material disruption to our business. Furthermore, if we or the VIE is found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws
or regulations, or fail to obtain or maintain any of the required permits or approvals, the relevant PRC regulatory authorities would
have broad discretion to take action in dealing with such violations or failures, including, without limitation:
|
●
|
revoking the business license and/or operating licenses of
our WFOE or the VIE;
|
|
●
|
discontinuing or placing restrictions or onerous conditions
on our operations through any transactions among our WFOE and the VIE;
|
|
●
|
imposing fines, confiscating the income from our WFOE, the
VIE or its subsidiaries, or imposing other requirements with which we or the VIE may not be able to comply;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
placing restrictions on our right to collect revenues;
|
|
●
|
requiring us to restructure our ownership structure or operations,
including terminating the VIE Agreements with the VIE and deregistering the equity pledges of the VIE, which in turn would affect our
ability to consolidate, derive economic interests from, or exert effective control over the VIE; or
|
|
●
|
restricting or prohibiting our use of the proceeds of this
offering to finance our business and operations in China.
|
|
●
|
taking other regulatory or enforcement actions against us
that could be harmful to our business.
|
The imposition of any of these penalties would result in a material
and adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business. In addition, it is unclear what impact the PRC government actions would have
on us and on our ability to consolidate the financial results of the VIE in our consolidated financial statements, if the PRC government
authorities were to find our corporate structure and VIE Agreements to be in violation of PRC laws and regulations. If the imposition
of any of these government actions causes us to lose our right to direct the activities of the VIE or our right to receive substantially
all the economic benefits and residual returns from the VIE and we are not able to restructure our ownership structure and operations
in a satisfactory manner, we would no longer be able to consolidate the financial results of the VIE in our consolidated financial statements.
Either of these results, or any other significant penalties that might be imposed on us in this event, would have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to consolidate the financial results of some
of our affiliated companies or such consolidation could materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Our business is conducted through Taizhou Suxuantang, which is considered
a VIE for accounting purposes, and we are considered the primary beneficiary, thus enabling us to consolidate our financial results in
our consolidated financial statements. In the event that in the future a company we hold as a VIE no longer meets the definition of a
VIE under applicable accounting rules, or we are deemed not to be the primary beneficiary, we would not be able to consolidate line by
line that entity’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements for reporting purposes. Also, if in the future an
affiliate company becomes a VIE and we become the primary beneficiary, we would be required to consolidate that entity’s financial
results in our consolidated financial statements for accounting purposes. If such entity’s financial results were negative, this
would have a corresponding negative impact on our operating results for reporting purposes.
Because we rely on the VIE Agreements for our revenue, the termination
of these agreements would severely and detrimentally affect our continuing business viability under our current corporate structure.
We are a holding company and all of our business operations are conducted
through the VIE Agreements. Although Taizhou Suxuantang does not have termination rights pursuant to the VIE Agreements, it could terminate,
or refuse to perform under, the VIE Agreements. Because neither we, nor our subsidiaries, own equity interests of Taizhou Suxuantang,
the termination or non-performance of the VIE Agreements would sever our ability to receive payments from Taizhou Suxuantang under our
current holding company structure. While we are currently not aware of any event or reason that may cause the VIE Agreements to terminate,
we cannot assure you that such an event or reason will not occur in the future. In the event that the VIE Agreements are terminated, this
would have a severe and detrimental effect on our continuing business viability under our current corporate structure, which, in turn,
would affect the value of your investment.
Our current corporate structure and business operations may be
affected by the newly enacted Foreign Investment Law.
On March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress approved the
Foreign Investment Law, which took effect on January 1, 2020. Since it is relatively new, uncertainties exist in relation to its interpretation
and its implementation rules that are yet to be issued. The Foreign Investment Law does not explicitly classify whether variable interest
entities that are controlled through VIE Agreements would be deemed as foreign-invested enterprises if they are ultimately “controlled”
by foreign investors. However, it has a catch-all provision under definition of “foreign investment” that includes investments
made by foreign investors in China through other means as provided by laws, administrative regulations or the State Council of the PRC,
or the State Council. Therefore, it still leaves leeway for future laws, administrative regulations or provisions of the State Council
to provide for VIE Agreements as a form of foreign investment. Therefore, there can be no assurance that our control over the VIE through
VIE Agreements will not be deemed as foreign investment in the future.
The Foreign Investment Law grants national treatment to foreign-invested
entities, except for those foreign-invested entities that operate in industries specified as either “restricted” or “prohibited”
from foreign investment in a “negative list”. The Foreign Investment Law provides that foreign-invested entities operating
in “restricted” or “prohibited” industries will require market entry clearance and other approvals from relevant
PRC government authorities. If our control over the VIE through VIE Agreements are deemed as foreign investment in the future, and any
business of the VIE is “restricted” or “prohibited” from foreign investment under the “negative list”
effective at the time, we may be deemed to be in violation of the Foreign Investment Law, the VIE Agreements that allow us to have control
over the VIE may be deemed as invalid and illegal, and we may be required to unwind such VIE Agreements and/or restructure our business
operations, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business operations. In addition, as the Chinese government has been
updating the Negative List in recent years and reducing the sectors prohibited or restricted for foreign investment, it is probable in
the future that, even if the VIE is identified as a FIE, it is still allowed to acquire or hold equity of enterprises in sectors currently
prohibited or restricted for foreign investment.
Furthermore, the PRC Foreign Investment Law provides that foreign invested
enterprises established according to the existing laws regulating foreign investment may maintain their structure and corporate governance
within five years after the implementing of the PRC Foreign Investment Law.
In addition, the PRC Foreign Investment Law also provides several protective
rules and principles for foreign investors and their investments in the PRC, including, among others, that a foreign investor may freely
transfer into or out of China, in Renminbi or a foreign currency, its contributions, profits, capital gains, income from disposition of
assets, royalties of intellectual property rights, indemnity or compensation lawfully acquired, and income from liquidation, among others,
within China; local governments shall abide by their commitments to the foreign investors; governments at all levels and their departments
shall enact local normative documents concerning foreign investment in compliance with laws and regulations and shall not impair legitimate
rights and interests, impose additional obligations onto FIEs, set market access restrictions and exit conditions, or intervene with the
normal production and operation activities of FIEs; except for special circumstances, in which case statutory procedures shall be followed
and fair and reasonable compensation shall be made in a timely manner, expropriation or requisition of the investment of foreign investors
is prohibited; and mandatory technology transfer is prohibited.
Notwithstanding the above, the PRC Foreign Investment Law stipulates
that foreign investment includes “foreign investors invest through any other methods under laws, administrative regulations or provisions
prescribed by the State Council”. Therefore, there are possibilities that future laws, administrative regulations or provisions
prescribed by the State Council may regard VIE Agreements as a form of foreign investment, and then whether our contractual arrangement
will be recognized as foreign investment, whether our contractual arrangement will be deemed to be in violation of the foreign investment
access requirements and how the above-mentioned contractual arrangement will be handled are uncertain.
The Chinese government may exercise significant oversight influence
over the manner in which we must conduct our business activities. We are currently not required to obtain approval from Chinese authorities
to list on U.S. exchanges, however, if the VIE or the holding company were required to obtain approval in the future and were denied permission
from Chinese authorities to list on U.S. exchanges, we will not be able to continue listing on U.S. exchange, which would materially affect
the interest of the investors.
The Chinese government has exercised and continues to exercise substantial
control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability to operate through the
VIE in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations, land
use rights, property and other matters. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations or
interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance with
such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support
recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic
policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest
ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.
For example, the Chinese cybersecurity regulator announced on July
2021 that it had begun an investigation of Didi Global Inc. (NYSE: DIDI) and two days later ordered that the company’s app was removed
from smartphone app stores. On July 24, 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office
of the State Council jointly released the Guidelines for Further Easing the Burden of Excessive Homework and Off-campus Tutoring for Students
at the Stage of Compulsory Education, pursuant to which foreign investment in such firms via mergers and acquisitions, franchise development,
and variable interest entities are banned from this sector.
We believe that our operations in China are in material compliance
with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements. However, the Company’s business segments may be subject to various government
and regulatory interference in the provinces in which they operate. The Company could be subject to regulation by various political and
regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions. The Company may incur increased costs
necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to comply, and such compliance or
any associated inquiries or investigations or any other government actions may:
|
●
|
delay or impede our development;
|
|
●
|
result in negative publicity or increase the Company’s
operating costs;
|
|
●
|
require significant management time and attention; and
|
|
●
|
subject
the VIE to remedies, administrative penalties and even criminal
liabilities that may harm our business, including fines assessed for our current or historical operations, or demands or orders that
we modify or even cease our business practices.
|
Furthermore, it is uncertain when and whether the Company will be required
to obtain permission from the PRC government to list on U.S. exchanges in the future, and even when such permission is obtained, whether
it will be denied or rescinded. Although the Company is currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC federal or local
government to obtain such permission and has not received any denial to list on the U.S. exchange, our operations could be adversely affected,
directly or indirectly, by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its business or industry, which could result in a material
adverse change in the value of our securities, potentially rendering it worthless. As a result, both you and us face uncertainty about
future actions by the PRC government that could significantly affect our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors
and cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
Risks Related to Our
Business Operations and Doing Business in China
The Chinese government exerts substantial
influence over the manner in which we may conduct our business activities, and if we are unable to substantially comply with any PRC rules and
regulations that negatively impact our business operations, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely
affected.
The Chinese government has exercised and continues
to exercise substantial control over virtually every sector of the Chinese economy through regulation and state ownership. Our ability
to operate in China may be harmed by changes in its laws and regulations, including those relating to taxation, environmental regulations,
land use rights, property and other matters. The central or local governments of these jurisdictions may impose new, stricter regulations
or interpretations of existing regulations that would require additional expenditures and efforts on our part to ensure our compliance
with such regulations or interpretations. Accordingly, government actions in the future, including any decision not to continue to support
recent economic reforms and to return to a more centrally planned economy or regional or local variations in the implementation of economic
policies, could have a significant effect on economic conditions in China or particular regions thereof, and could require us to divest
ourselves of any interest we then hold in Chinese properties.
As such, our business operations of and the industries
we operate in may be subject to various government and regulatory interference in the provinces in which they operate. We could be subject
to regulation by various political and regulatory entities, including various local and municipal agencies and government sub-divisions.
We may incur increased costs necessary to comply with existing and newly adopted laws and regulations or penalties for any failure to
comply. In the event that we are not able to substantially comply with any existing or newly adopted laws and regulations, our business
operations may be materially adversely affected and the value of our Ordinary Shares may significantly decrease.
Furthermore, the PRC government authorities may
strengthen oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers like us.
Such actions taken by the PRC government authorities may intervene or influence our operations at any time, which are beyond our control.
Therefore, any such action may adversely affect our operations and significantly limit or hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer
securities to you and reduce the value of such securities.
We may be liable for improper use or appropriation
of personal information provided by our customers and any failure to comply with PRC laws and regulations over data security could result
in materially adverse impact on our business, results of operations, our continued listing on Nasdaq, and this offering.
Our business involves collecting and retaining
certain internal and external data and information including that of our customers and supplies. The integrity and protection of such
information and data are crucial to us and our business. Owners of such data and information expect that we will adequately protect their
personal information. We are required by applicable laws to keep strictly confidential the personal information that we collect, and to
take adequate security measures to safeguard such information.
The PRC Criminal Law, as amended by its Amendment
7 (effective on February 28, 2009) and Amendment 9 (effective on November 1, 2015), prohibits institutions, companies and their
employees from selling or otherwise illegally disclosing a citizen’s personal information obtained in performing duties or providing
services or obtaining such information through theft or other illegal ways. On November 7, 2016, the Standing Committee of the PRC
National People’s Congress issued the Cyber Security Law of the PRC, or Cyber Security Law, which became effective on June 1,
2017. Pursuant to the Cyber Security Law, network operators must not, without users’ consent, collect their personal information,
and may only collect users’ personal information necessary to provide their services. Providers are also obliged to provide security
maintenance for their products and services and shall comply with provisions regarding the protection of personal information as stipulated
under the relevant laws and regulations.
The Civil Code of the PRC (issued by the PRC National
People’s Congress on May 28, 2020 and effective from January 1, 2021) provides legal basis for privacy and personal information
infringement claims under the Chinese civil laws. PRC regulators, including the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Industry
and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Public Security, have been increasingly focused on regulation in data security and data
protection.
The PRC regulatory requirements regarding cybersecurity
are evolving. For instance, various regulatory bodies in China, including the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Public
Security and the State Administration for Market Regulation, have enforced data privacy and protection laws and regulations with varying
and evolving standards and interpretations. In April 2020, the Chinese government promulgated Cybersecurity Review Measures, which
came into effect on June 1, 2020. According to the Cybersecurity Review Measures, operators of critical information infrastructure
must pass a cybersecurity review when purchasing network products and services which do or may affect national security.
In July 2021, the Cyberspace Administration
of China and other related authorities released the draft amendment to the Cybersecurity Review Measures for public comments through July 25,
2021. The draft amendment proposes the following key changes:
|
●
|
companies who are engaged in data processing are also subject to the regulatory scope;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the CSRC is included as one of the regulatory
authorities for purposes of jointly establishing the state cybersecurity review working mechanism;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the operators (including both operators of
critical information infrastructure and relevant parties who are engaged in data processing) holding more than one million
users/users’ (which to be further specified) individual information and seeking a listing outside China shall file for
cybersecurity review with the Cybersecurity Review Office; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the risks of core data, material data or
large amounts of personal information being stolen, leaked, destroyed, damaged, illegally used or transmitted to overseas parties
and the risks of critical information infrastructure, core data, material data or large amounts of personal information being
influenced, controlled or used maliciously shall be collectively taken into consideration during the cybersecurity review
process.
|
Currently, the draft amendment has been released
for public comment only, and its implementation provisions and anticipated adoption or effective date remains substantially uncertain
and may be subject to change. If the draft amendment is adopted into law in the future, we may become subject to enhanced cybersecurity
review. Certain internet platforms in China have been reportedly subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny in relation to cybersecurity
matters. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, as a company engaged in e-commerce business through the VIE and their subsidiaries
in China, we have not been included within the definition of “operator of critical information infrastructure” by competent
authority, nor have we been informed by any PRC governmental authority of any requirement that we file for a cybersecurity review. However,
if we are deemed to be a critical information infrastructure operator or a company that is engaged in data processing and holds personal
information of more than one million users, we could be subject to PRC cybersecurity review.
As there remains significant uncertainty in the
interpretation and enforcement of relevant PRC cybersecurity laws and regulations, we could be subject to cybersecurity review, and if
so, we may not be able to pass such review. In addition, we could become subject to enhanced cybersecurity review or investigations launched
by PRC regulators in the future. Any failure or delay in the completion of the cybersecurity review procedures or any other non-compliance
with the related laws and regulations may result in fines or other penalties, including suspension of business, website closure, removal
of our app from the relevant app stores, and revocation of prerequisite licenses, as well as reputational damage or legal proceedings
or actions against us, which may have material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. As of the
date of this prospectus supplement, we have not been involved in any investigations on cybersecurity review initiated by the Cyber Administration
of China or related governmental regulatory authorities, and we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, or sanction in such respect.
We believe that we are in compliance with the aforementioned regulations and policies that have been issued by the Cyber Administration
of China.
On June 10, 2021, the Standing Committee
of the National People’s Congress of China, or the SCNPC, promulgated the PRC Data Security Law, which will take effect in September 2021.
The PRC Data Security Law imposes data security and privacy obligations on entities and individuals carrying out data activities, and
introduces a data classification and hierarchical protection system based on the importance of data in economic and social development,
and the degree of harm it will cause to national security, public interests, or legitimate rights and interests of individuals or organizations
when such data is tampered with, destroyed, leaked, illegally acquired or used. The PRC Data Security Law also provides for a national
security review procedure for data activities that may affect national security and imposes export restrictions on certain data an information.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement,
we do not expect that the current PRC laws on cybersecurity or data security would have a material adverse impact on our business operations.
However, as uncertainties remain regarding the interpretation and implementation of these laws and regulations, we cannot assure you that
we will comply with such regulations in all respects and we may be ordered to rectify or terminate any actions that are deemed illegal
by regulatory authorities. We may also become subject to fines and/or other sanctions which may have material adverse effect on our business,
operations and financial condition.
Although the audit report included in this
prospectus is prepared by U.S. auditors who are currently inspected by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”),
there is no guarantee that future audit reports will be prepared by auditors inspected by the PCAOB and, as such, in the future investors
may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. Furthermore, trading in our securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign
Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”) if the SEC subsequently determines our audit work is performed by auditors that
the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely, and as a result, U.S. national securities exchanges, such as the Nasdaq, may
determine to delist our securities. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable
Act, which, if enacted, would amend the HFCA Act and require 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.
As an auditor of companies
that are registered with the SEC and publicly traded in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, our auditor is required
under the laws of the United States to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess their compliance with the laws of the United
States and professional standards. The PCAOB is currently unable to conduct inspections without the approval of the Chinese government
authorities. Currently, our U.S. auditor is currently inspected by the PCAOB.
Inspections of other auditors
conducted by the PCAOB outside mainland China have at times identified deficiencies in those auditors’ audit procedures and quality
control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. The lack of PCAOB inspections
of audit work undertaken in mainland China prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating auditors’ audits and their quality control
procedures. As a result, if there is any component of our auditor’s work papers become located in mainland China in the future,
such work papers will not be subject to inspection by the PCAOB. As a result, investors would be deprived of such PCAOB inspections, which
could result in limitations or restrictions to our access of the U.S. capital markets.
As part of a continued regulatory
focus in the United States on access to audit and other information currently protected by national law, in particular mainland China’s,
in June 2019, a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced bills in both houses of the U.S. Congress which, if passed, would require the
SEC to maintain a list of issuers for which PCAOB is not able to inspect or investigate the audit work performed by a foreign public accounting
firm completely. The proposed Ensuring Quality Information and Transparency for Abroad-Based Listings on our Exchanges (“EQUITABLE”)
Act prescribes increased disclosure requirements for these issuers and, beginning in 2025, the delisting from U.S. national securities
exchanges such as the Nasdaq of issuers included on the SEC’s list for three consecutive years. It is unclear if this proposed legislation
will be enacted. Furthermore, there have been recent deliberations within the U.S. government regarding potentially limiting or restricting
China-based companies from accessing U.S. capital markets. On May 20, 2020, the U.S. Senate passed the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable
Act (the “HFCA Act”), which includes requirements for the SEC to identify issuers whose audit work is performed by auditors
that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely because of a restriction imposed by a non-U.S. authority in the auditor’s
local jurisdiction. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the HFCA Act on December 2, 2020, and the HFCA Act was signed into law on
December 18, 2020. Additionally, in July 2020, the U.S. President’s Working Group on Financial Markets issued recommendations for
actions that can be taken by the executive branch, the SEC, the PCAOB or other federal agencies and department with respect to Chinese
companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges and their audit firms, in an effort to protect investors in the United States. In response, on
November 23, 2020, the SEC issued guidance highlighting certain risks (and their implications to U.S. investors) associated with investments
in China-based issuers and summarizing enhanced disclosures the SEC recommends China-based issuers make regarding such risks. On March
24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the
HFCA Act. We will be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies us as having a “non-inspection” year (as defined
in the interim final rules) under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements
of the HFCA Act, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above. Under the HFCA Act, our securities may be
prohibited from trading on the Nasdaq or other U.S. stock exchanges if our auditor is not inspected by the PCAOB for three consecutive
years, and this ultimately could result in our Ordinary Shares being delisted. Furthermore, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the
Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“HFCAA”), which, if enacted, would amend the HFCA Act and require
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. On September 22, 2021, the PCAOB adopted a final rule implementing the HFCAA, which provides
a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether the Board is unable to inspect or investigate
completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities
in that jurisdiction. On November 5, 2021, the SEC approved the PCAOB’s Rule 6100, Board Determinations Under the Holding Foreign
Companies Accountable Act. Rule 6100 provides a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether
it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position
taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. On December 2, 2021, the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing the
submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as having filed an annual report
with an audit report issued by a registered public accounting firm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that PCAOB is unable
to inspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions. The Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) issued a Determination Report on December 16, 2021 which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspect
or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in: (1) mainland China of the PRC, and (2) Hong Kong. In addition,
the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. Our auditor,
ZH CPA, LLC, is headquartered in Denver, Colorado, not mainland China or Hong Kong and was not identified in this report as a firm subject
to the PCAOB’s determination. Our auditor is currently subject to PCAOB inspections.
The SEC is assessing how to
implement other requirements of the HFCAA, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above. Future developments
in respect of increasing U.S. regulatory access to audit information are uncertain, as the legislative developments are subject to the
legislative process and the regulatory developments are subject to the rule-making process and other administrative procedures.
While we understand that
there has been dialogue among the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”), the SEC and the PCAOB regarding the
inspection of PCAOB-registered accounting firms in mainland China, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with requirements
imposed by U.S. regulators if there is significant change to current political arrangements between mainland China and Hong Kong, or
if any component of our auditor’s work papers become located in mainland China in the future. Delisting of our Ordinary Shares
would force holders of our Ordinary Shares to sell their Ordinary Shares. The market price of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely
affected as a result of anticipated negative impacts of these executive or legislative actions upon, regardless of whether these executive
or legislative actions are implemented and regardless of our actual operating performance.
Risks

In
addition, the stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations from time to time, and the market prices
of the equity securities of retailers have been extremely volatile and are sometimes subject to sharp price and trading volume changes.
These broad market fluctuations may materially and adversely affect the market price of our ordinary shares.
If
we fail to meet the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, our Ordinary Shares could be delisted from trading,
which would decrease the liquidity of our Ordinary Shares and our ability to raise additional capital.
Our
Ordinary Shares are currently listed for quotation on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We are required to meet specified financial requirements
in order to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. These listing standards include the requirement for avoiding sustained
losses and maintaining a minimum level of stockholders’ equity. On December 14, 2021, we received a notice from Nasdaq that because
the closing bid price for our Ordinary Shares had fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we no longer complied
with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Rule 5550(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing
Rules. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules, we have until June 13, 2022 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To
regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of
10 consecutive business days prior to June 13, 2022.
If
we do not regain compliance by June 13, 2022, we may be eligible for an additional grace period. To qualify, we would be required to
meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq
Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice of our intention to cure the minimum
bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. If we meet these requirements, the Nasdaq staff will grant an additional 180
calendar days for us to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If the Nasdaq staff determines that we will not be
able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible for such additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that
our Ordinary Shares will be subject to delisting. We would have the right to appeal a determination to delist our Ordinary Shares, and
the Ordinary Shares would remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market until the completion of the appeal process.
If
our Ordinary Shares were no longer listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, investors might only be able to trade on one of the over-the-counter
markets, including the OTC Bulletin Board ® or in the Pink Sheets ® (a quotation medium operated by Pink Sheets LLC). This would
impair the liquidity of our Ordinary Shares not only in the number of shares that could be bought and sold at a given price, which might
be depressed by the relative illiquidity, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in media coverage. In addition,
we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
|
●
|
a
limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
|
|
●
|
a
limited amount of news and analyst coverage for us; and
|
|
●
|
a
decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
|
We
intend to consider all available alternatives to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) to allow for continued listing of the Ordinary
Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market. However, we can provide no assurance that any action taken by us would allow our Ordinary Shares
to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Ordinary Shares. If we regain compliance and maintain
the listing of the Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we cannot assure you that we would be able to prevent future non-compliance
with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.
There
is no established public trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to
develop for the Pre-funded Warrants.
There
is no established public trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to
develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-funded Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally
recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-funded Warrants will be limited. Further, the existence
of the Pre-funded Warrants may act to reduce both the trading volume and the trading price of our ordinary shares.
The
Pre-funded Warrants are speculative in nature.
Except
as otherwise provided in the Pre-funded Warrants, until holders of Pre-Funded Warrants acquire our ordinary shares upon exercise of the
Pre-funded Warrants, holders of Pre-funded Warrants will have no rights with respect to our ordinary shares underlying such Pre-funded
Warrants. Upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a shareholder only as to matters
for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.
Moreover,
following this offering, the market value of the Pre-funded Warrants is uncertain. There can be no assurance that the market price of
our ordinary shares will ever equal or exceed the price of the Pre-funded Warrants, and, consequently, whether it will ever be profitable
for investors to exercise their Pre-funded Warrants.
Since
our management will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from this offering, we may use the proceeds in ways with which you
disagree.
Our
management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our
management with regard to the use of those net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision,
to influence how the proceeds are being used. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable,
or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, operating results, and cash flow.
Future
sales of our Ordinary Shares, whether by us or our shareholders, could cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to decline.
If
our existing shareholders sell, or indicate an intent to sell, substantial amounts of our Ordinary Shares in the public market, the trading
price of our ordinary shares could decline significantly. Similarly, the perception in the public market that our shareholders might
sell our Ordinary Shares could also depress the market price of our shares. A decline in the price of our Ordinary Shares might impede
our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional Ordinary Shares or other equity securities. In addition, the issuance
and sale by us of additional Ordinary Shares, or securities convertible into or exercisable for our Ordinary Shares, or the perception
that we will issue such securities, could reduce the trading price for our Ordinary Shares as well as make future sales of equity securities
by us less attractive or not feasible. The sale of Ordinary Shares issued upon the exercise of our outstanding warrants could further
dilute the holdings of our then existing shareholders.
We
do not know whether a market for the ordinary shares will be sustained or what the trading price of the ordinary shares will be and as
a result it may be difficult for you to sell your Ordinary Shares.
Although
our ordinary shares trade on Nasdaq, an active trading market for the ordinary shares may not be sustained. It may be difficult for you
to sell your Ordinary Shares without depressing the market price for the Ordinary Shares. As a result of these and other factors, you
may not be able to sell your Ordinary Shares. Further, an inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling Ordinary
Shares, or may impair our ability to enter into strategic partnerships or acquire companies or products by using our Ordinary Shares
as consideration.
Securities
analysts may not cover our ordinary shares and this may have a negative impact on the market price of our ordinary shares.
The
trading market for our ordinary shares will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish
about us or our business. We do not have any control over independent analysts (provided that we have engaged various non-independent
analysts). We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by independent securities and industry analysts. If no independent
securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our ordinary shares would be negatively impacted. If we
obtain independent securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our ordinary shares,
changes their opinion of our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our ordinary shares
would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for
our ordinary shares could decrease and we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the price and trading volume
of our ordinary shares to decline.
You
will experience immediate dilution as a result of this offering and may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings
or other equity issuances.
We believe that purchaser of Ordinary Shares in this offering will
experience an immediate dilution relative to net tangible book value per Ordinary Share. Our net tangible book value on September 30,
2021 was US$13.75 million, or US$0.82 per Ordinary Share. After giving effect to the sale of our Ordinary Shares and Pre-funded Warrants
of approximately US$[ ] million in this offering at an offering price of US$[ ] per Ordinary Share and US$[ ] per Pre-funded Warrant,
and after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, our as
adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 would have been US$13.75 million, or US$0.82 per ordinary share. This represents
an immediate increase in net tangible book value of US$[ ] per Ordinary Share to our existing shareholders and an immediate decrease in
net tangible book value of US$[ ] per Ordinary Share to the investor participating in this offering.
We
may in the future issue additional ordinary shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Ordinary Shares. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to sell our Ordinary Shares or other securities in any other offering or other transactions at a price
per ordinary share that is equal to or greater than the price per Ordinary Share paid by the investor in this offering. The price per
Ordinary Share at which we sell additional Ordinary Share or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our ordinary shares
in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per ordinary share in this offering. If we do issue any such additional
ordinary shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders.
Because
we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on the price appreciation of our ordinary shares for return
on your investment.
We
currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our
business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment
in our ordinary shares as a source for any future dividend income.
Our
board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of British Virgin Islands
law. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by
our board of directors. Under British Virgin Islands law, a British Virgin Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profit or
share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay
its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the
timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our future results of operations and cash flow,
our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from our subsidiaries, our financial condition,
contractual restrictions, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in
our ordinary shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our ordinary shares. There is no guarantee that
our ordinary shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased the ordinary shares. You may not realize
a return on your investment in our ordinary shares and you may even lose your entire investment in our ordinary shares.
Techniques
employed by short sellers may drive down the market price of our ordinary shares.
Short
selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed from a third party with the intention
of buying identical securities back at a later date to return to the lender. The short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value
of the securities between the sale of the borrowed securities and the purchase of the replacement shares, as the short seller expects
to pay less in that purchase than it received in the sale. As it is in the short seller’s interest for the price of the security
to decline, many short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, negative opinions regarding the relevant issuer and its business
prospects in order to create negative market momentum and generate profits for themselves after selling a security short. These short
attacks have, in the past, led to selling of shares in the market.
Public
companies listed in the United States that have a substantial majority of their operations in China have been the subject of short selling.
Much of the scrutiny and negative publicity has centered on allegations of a lack of effective internal control over financial reporting
resulting in financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, inadequate corporate governance policies or a lack of adherence thereto
and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result, many of these companies are now conducting internal and external investigations
into the allegations and, in the interim, are subject to shareholder lawsuits and/or SEC enforcement actions.
We
may in the future be the subject of unfavorable allegations made by short sellers. Any such allegations may be followed by periods of
instability in the market price of our ordinary shares and negative publicity. If and when we become the subject of any unfavorable allegations,
whether such allegations are proven to be true or untrue, we could have to expend a significant amount of resources to investigate such
allegations and/or defend ourselves. While we would strongly defend against any such short seller attacks, we may be constrained in the
manner in which we can proceed against the relevant short seller by principles of freedom of speech, applicable federal or state law
or issues of commercial confidentiality. Such a situation could be costly and time- consuming and could distract our management from
growing our business. Even if such allegations are ultimately proven to be groundless, allegations against us could severely impact our
business operations and shareholder’s equity, and the value of any investment in our could be greatly reduced or rendered worthless.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering,
after deducting underwriter commissions and discounts, and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $ million.
Although we have not yet determined with certainty
the manner in which we will allocate the net proceeds of this offering, we expect to use the net proceeds from this offering for working
capital and general business purposes. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion in the allocation and use of the net proceeds
of this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds.

DILUTION
Our net tangible book value on September 30, 2021 was US$13.75 million,
or US$0.82 per Ordinary Share. “Net tangible book value” is total assets minus the sum of liabilities and intangible assets.
“Net tangible book value per share” is net tangible book value divided by the total number of shares outstanding.
After giving effect to the
sale of our Ordinary Shares and Pre-funded Warrants of approximately US$[ ] million in this offering, at an offering price of US$[ ] per
Ordinary Share and US$[ ] per Pre-funded Warrant, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable
by us in connection with this offering, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2021 would have been US$[ ] million,
or US$[ ] per Ordinary Share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of US$[ ] per Ordinary Share to our existing
shareholders and an immediate decrease in net tangible book value of US$[ ] per Ordinary Share to the investor participating in this offering.

The foregoing table and discussion is based on 16,870,238 Ordinary
Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2021. (There were 17,609,099 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2021, out of which
738,861 shares were cancelled on October 29, 2021).
DESCRIPTION OF OUR SECURITIES
Ordinary Shares
Rights, Preferences
and Restrictions of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the restrictions described under the section titled “Dividend Policy”
above, our directors may (subject to the M&A) authorize dividends at such time and in such amount as they determine. Each Ordinary
Share is entitled to one vote. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of Ordinary Shares are (subject
to the M&A) entitled to share ratably in all surplus assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment and discharge
of all claims, debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company and after provision is made for each class of shares (if any) having
preference over the Ordinary Shares if any at that time. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our Ordinary Shares. Holders
of our Ordinary Shares have no pre-emptive rights. Subject to the provisions of the BVI Act, we may, (subject to the M&A) with shareholder
consent, repurchase our Ordinary Shares in certain circumstances provided always that the company will, immediately after the repurchase,
satisfy the solvency test. The company will satisfy the solvency test, if (i) the value of the company’s assets exceeds its liabilities;
and (ii) the company is able to pay its debts as they fall due.
Dividends. Subject
to the BVI Act and our M&A, our directors may, by resolution, declare dividends at a time and amount as they think fit if they are
satisfied, based on reasonable grounds, that, immediately after distribution of the dividend, the value of our assets will exceed our
liabilities and we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due. There is no further BVI law restriction on the amount of funds which
may be distributed by us by dividend, including all amounts paid by way of the subscription price for Ordinary Shares regardless of whether
such amounts may be wholly or partially treated as share capital or share premium under certain accounting principles. Shareholder approval
is not (except as otherwise provided in our M&As) required to pay dividends under BVI law. In accordance with, and subject to, our
M&A, no dividend shall bear interest as against the Company (except as otherwise provided in our M&As).
Disclosure of the Securities
and Exchange Commission’s Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed 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.
Transfer of Shares. Subject
to any applicable restrictions or limitations arising pursuant to (i) our M&A; or (ii) the BVI Act, any of our shareholders may transfer
all or any of his or her shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in any other form which our directors may
approve (such instrument of transfer being signed by the transferor and containing the name and address of the transferee). Our M&A
also (save as otherwise provided therein) provide that (i) where Ordinary Shares of the Company are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market
or any other stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Ordinary Shares are then traded (the “Recognised Exchange”),
shares may be transferred without the need for a written instrument of transfer if the transfer is carried out in accordance with the
law, rules, procedures and other requirements applicable to shares listed on the Recognised Exchange or (ii) shares may be transferred
by means of a system utilized for the purposes of holding and transferring shares in uncertified form (the “Relevant System”),
and that the operator of the Relevant System (and any other person necessary to ensure the Relevant System is effective to transfer shares)
shall act as agent and attorney-in-fact of the Shareholders for the purposes of the transfer of any shares transferred by means of the
Relevant System (including, for such purposes, to execute and deliver an instrument of transfer in the name of and on behalf of any Shareholder
who is transferring shares).
Pre-funded Warrants
The term “pre-funded”
refers to the fact that the purchase price of our ordinary shares in this offering includes almost the entire exercise price that will
be paid under the Pre-funded Warrants, except for a nominal remaining exercise price of $0.01. The purpose of the Pre-funded Warrants
is to enable investors that may have restrictions on their ability to beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, upon election of the holder,
9.99%) of our outstanding ordinary shares following the consummation of this offering the opportunity to make an investment in the Company
without triggering their ownership restrictions, by receiving Pre-funded Warrants in lieu of our ordinary shares which would result in
such ownership of more than 4.99% (or 9.99%), and receive the ability to exercise their option to purchase the shares underlying the Pre-funded
Warrants at such nominal price at a later date.
Exercise of Warrants.
Each Pre-funded Warrant is exercisable for one ordinary share, with an exercise price equal to $0.01 per share, at any time that the Pre-funded
Warrant is outstanding. There is no expiration date for the Pre-funded Warrants. The holder of a Pre-funded Warrant will not be deemed
a holder of our underlying ordinary share until the Pre-funded Warrant is exercised.
Subject to limited exceptions,
a holder of Pre-funded Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-funded Warrants if the holder (together with
such holder’s affiliates, and any persons acting as a group together with such holder or any of such holder’s affiliates)
would beneficially own a number of ordinary shares in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser prior to the date of issuance,
9.99%) of our ordinary shares then outstanding after giving effect to such exercise.
The exercise price and the
number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization
events, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations or similar events affecting our ordinary
shares. The Pre-funded Warrant holders must pay the exercise price in cash upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants, unless such Pre-funded
Warrant holders are utilizing the cashless exercise provision of the Pre-funded Warrants.
Upon the holder’s exercise
of a Pre-funded Warrant, we will issue the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrant within two trading days following
our receipt of a notice of exercise, provided that payment of the exercise price has been made (unless exercised to the extent permitted
via the “cashless” exercise provision). Prior to the exercise of any Pre-funded Warrants to purchase ordinary shares, holders
of the Pre-funded Warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the ordinary shares purchasable upon exercise, including the
right to vote, except as set forth therein.
Pre-funded Warrants may be
exercised only if the issuance of the shares of ordinary shares is covered by an effective registration statement, or an exemption from
registration is available under the Securities Act and the securities laws of the state in which the holder resides. We intend to use
commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, effective when the Pre-funded
Warrants are exercised. The Pre-funded Warrant holders must pay the exercise price in cash upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants unless
there is not an effective registration statement or, if required, there is not an effective state law registration or exemption covering
the issuance of the shares underlying the Pre-funded Warrants (in which case, the Pre-funded Warrants may only be exercised via a “cashless”
exercise provision).
Fundamental Transaction.
In the event we consummate a merger or consolidation with or into another person or other reorganization event in which our ordinary shares
are converted or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, or we sell, lease, license, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose
of all or substantially all of our assets or we or another person acquire 50% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares, then following
such event, the holders of the Pre-funded Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of such Pre-funded Warrants the same kind
and amount of securities, cash or property which the holders would have received had they exercised their Pre-funded Warrants immediately
prior to such fundamental transaction. Any successor to us or surviving entity shall assume the obligations under the Pre-funded Warrants.
Exchange Listing. We
do not intend to apply for listing of the Pre-funded Warrants on any securities exchange or other trading system.
Book-Entry Form
The Pre-funded Warrants will
be registered securities and will be evidenced by a global certificate, which will be deposited on behalf of the Company with a custodian
for The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and registered in the name of Cede & Co., a nominee of DTC. If DTC subsequently
ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Pre-funded Warrants, the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent regarding
making other arrangements for book-entry settlement. In the event that any Pre-funded Warrants are not eligible for, or it is no longer
necessary to have the Pre-funded Warrants available in, book-entry form, then the Company may instruct the Warrant Agent to provide written
instructions to DTC to deliver to the Warrant Agent for cancellation the global certificate, and the Company will instruct the Warrant
Agent to deliver to DTC separate Warrant certificates as requested through the DTC system.
Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Pre-funded Warrants, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name that
Pre-funded Warrants will be registered on the Warrant register (the “holder”) as the absolute owner of such Pre-funded Warrants
for purposes of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Pre-funded Warrants Agent will be affected
by any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent
of the Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by DTC governing
the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Pre-funded Warrants. The rights of beneficial owners in a Pre-funded
Warrants evidenced by the global certificate will be exercised by the holder or a participant through the DTC system, except to the extent
set forth herein or in the global certificate.
A holder whose interest in
a global warrant is a beneficial interest in a global warrant held in book-entry form through DTC (or another established clearing corporation
performing similar functions), will effect exercises by delivering to DTC (or such other clearing corporation, as applicable) the appropriate
instruction form for exercise, complying with the procedures to effect exercise that are required by DTC (or such other clearing corporation,
as applicable).
Beneficial Ownership Exercise Limitation
Each holder of the Pre-funded
Warrants will be subject to a requirement that they will not have the right to exercise the Warrants to the extent that, after giving
effect to such exercise, such holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (subject to increase at
the option of the holder to 9.99% upon 61 days’ prior written notice) of the shares of our ordinary shares outstanding immediately
after giving effect to such exercise.
Warrant Agent
The Pre-funded Warrants will
be issued in registered form under separate pre-funded warrant agent agreements (each a “Pre-funded Warrant Agent Agreement”)
between us and our warrant agent, Transhare Corporation (the “Warrant Agent”). The material provisions of the Pre-funded Warrants
are set forth herein, and a copy of each of the Pre-funded Warrant Agent Agreements are filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
UNDERWRITING
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in the underwriting agreement, dated January [ ], 2022, between us and Aegis Capital Corp. (the “underwriter” or “Aegis”)
as the exclusive underwriter of this offering, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter, and the underwriter has agreed to purchase from
us the number of Ordinary Shares and Pre-funded Warrants shown opposite its name below:

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriter
are subject to certain conditions precedent such as the receipt by the underwriter of officers’ certificates and legal opinions
and approval of certain legal matters by their counsel. The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriter will purchase all of
the shares and Pre-Funded Warrants if any of them are purchased. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against specified liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the underwriter may be required to make in respect thereof.
The underwriter is offering
the Ordinary Shares and Pre-funded Warrants subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval
of legal matters by its counsel and other conditions specified in the underwriting agreement. The underwriter reserves the right to withdraw,
cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.
We have granted the underwriter
an over-allotment option. This option, which is exercisable for 45 days after the closing of this offering, permits the underwriter to

Lock-Up Agreements

holding at least ten percent of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, have agreed for a period of ninety (90) days, after the closing date
of the offering, subject to certain exceptions, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly
or indirectly, any shares of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the shares of the Company.
Securities Issuance Standstill
The Company has agreed, for a period of ninety
(90) days after the closing date of the offering, that it will not, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, (a) offer,
sell, issue, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any equity of the Company or any securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for equity of the Company; (b) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the SEC
relating to the offering of any equity of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity of
the Company; or (c) enter into any agreement or announce the intention to effect any of the actions described in subsections (a) or
(b) hereof, subject to certain exceptions in the underwriting agreement.
Right of First Refusal
Pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement,
if, for the period ending twelve (12) months from the closing of this offering, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the underwriting

or any other capital raising financing of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, Aegis (or any affiliate designated by Aegis) shall
have the right to act as the sole book-running manager, sole underwriter or sole placement agent for such financing.
Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of
Shares
A prospectus in electronic format may be made
available on the websites maintained by the underwriter or one or more of selling group members. The underwriter may agree to allocate
a number of shares to selling group members for sale to its online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated
by the underwriter and selling group members that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations. Other than
the prospectus in electronic format, the information on these websites is not part of, nor incorporated by reference into, this prospectus
or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved or endorsed by us, and should not be relied
upon by investors.
Stabilization
The underwriter has advised us that it, pursuant
to Regulation M under the Exchange Act, and certain persons participating in the offering may engage in short sale transactions, stabilizing
transactions, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids in connection with this offering. These activities may
have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the shares at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the
open market. Establishing short sales positions may involve either “covered” short sales or “naked” short sales.
“Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater
than the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares in this offering. The underwriter may close out any covered short position
by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of
shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase
in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares.
“Naked” short sales are sales in excess
of the option to purchase additional shares. The underwriter must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open
market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the
price of our shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.
A stabilizing bid is a bid for the purchase of
shares on behalf of the underwriter for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the shares. A syndicate covering transaction
is the bid for or the purchase of shares on behalf of the underwriter to reduce a short position incurred by the underwriter in connection
with the offering. Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriter’s purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have
the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares.
As a result, the price of our shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. A penalty bid is an arrangement
permitting the underwriter to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to a syndicate member in connection with the offering
if the shares originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction and therefore have not been effectively
placed by such syndicate member.
Neither we nor the underwriter makes any representation
or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our shares.
The underwriter is not obligated to engage in these activities and, if commenced, any of the activities may be discontinued at any time.
The underwriter may also engage in passive market
making transactions in our shares on Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M during a period before the commencement of
offers or sales of our shares in this offering and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display
its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the
passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
Other Relationships
The underwriter and certain of its affiliates
are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment
banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities.
The underwriter and certain of its affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial and
investment banking and financial advisory services for us and our affiliates, for which they received or will receive customary fees and
expenses.
In the ordinary course of their various business
activities, the underwriter and certain of its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity
securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts
of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments issued by us and our affiliates.
The underwriter and certain of its respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or
trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold,
or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

with the offer and sale of any such shares be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result

OUR
BUSINESS
History
and Development of the Company
We
were incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 4, 2017. Our wholly owned subsidiary China SXT Group Limited (“SXT
HK”) was incorporated in Hong Kong on July 21, 2017. China SXT Group Limited in turn holds all the capital stocks of Taizhou
Suxantang Biotechnology Co. Ltd. (“WFOE”), a wholly foreign owned enterprise incorporated in China on October 13,
2017. WFOE controls Jiangsu Taizhou Suxantang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Taizhou Suxuantang”) through a series of
VIE agreements. See” Business — Contractual Agreements with WFOE and Taizhou Suxuantang.”
Pursuant
to PRC laws, each entity formed under PRC law shall have certain business scope approved by the Administration of Industry and
Commerce or its local counterpart. As such, WFOE’s business scope is to primarily engage in technology development, provision
of technology service, technology consulting; development of computer software and hardware, computer network technology, game
software; provision of enterprise management and related consulting service, human resource consulting service and intellectual
property consulting service. Since the sole business of WFOE is to provide Taizhou Suxuantang with technical support, consulting
services and other management services relating to its day-to-day business operations and management in exchange for a service
fee approximately equal to the net income of Taizhou Suxuantang, such business scope is necessary and appropriate under PRC laws.
China
SXT Pharmaceutical is a holding company with no business operation other than holding the shares in SXT HK; SXT HK is a pass-through
entity with no business operation. WFOE is exclusively engaged in the business of managing the operation of Taizhou Suxuantang.
Taizhou Suxuantang has become principally engaged in offering Advanced TCMP products since March, 2015. Before 2015, Taizhou Suxuantang
specialized in manufacturing and selling Regular and Fine TCMP products.
Business
Overview
We
are an innovative pharmaceutical company based in China that focuses on the research, development, manufacture, marketing and
sales of TCMP. TCMP is a type of TCM products that has been widely accepted by Chinese people for thousands of years. Throughout
the decades of years, TCMP products’ origin, identification, prepared process, quality standard, indication, dosage and
administration, precautions, and storage have been well documented, listed and specified in “China Pharmacopoeia”
a state-governmental issued guidance on manufacturing TCMP. In recent years, TCMP industry enjoyed more rapid growth than any
other segments of the pharmaceutical industry primarily due to the favorable government policies for the TCMP industry. Because
of the favorable government policies, TCMP products do not have to go through rigorous clinical trials before commercialization.
We currently sells four types of TCMP products: Advanced TCMP, Fine TCMP, Regular TCMP, and TCM Homologous Supplements (“TCMHS”)
products. . Although all of our TCMP products are generic TCMP drugs and we did not change the medical effects of these products
in any significant way, these products are innovative in terms of their unconventional administration. The complexity of the manufacturing
process is what differentiates these types of products. Advanced TCMP typically has the highest quality because it requires specialized
equipment and prepared processes to manufacture, and has to go through more manufacturing steps to produce than Fine TCMP and
Regular TCMP. Fine TCMP is also manufactured with more refined ingredients than Regular TCMP. TCMHS is a classification of health-supporting
food used traditionally in China as TCM but are also consumed as food, which has been developed and commercialized by us in April
2019.
In April 2019, we
reconstructed and assembled a facility and received a “Food Manufacturing Certificate” issued by the local Food and
Drug Administration, which granted the Company permission to produce TCMHS (TCM Homologous Supplements), a classification of health-supporting
food used traditionally in China as TCM but which are also consumed as food. The scope of production includes “Substitute
Teas,” made of TCMHS plants, and “Solid Beverages,” a kind of granule produced through extraction of TCMHS materials.
We currently produce 19
Advanced TCMPs which market 15 Advanced TCMPs, 20 Fine TCMPs, 427 Regular TCMPs and 4 TCMHS solid beverages.
We
own twelve Chinese registered trademarks related to our brand “Suxuantang.” Our TCMP products received the prestigious
award of Jiangsu Taizhou Famous Product, and Well-known Brand Trademark in December 2016, and 2017, respectively. The awards were
granted by the Government of Taizhou City, Jiangsu, China. In the near future, we plan to increase our efforts in cooperation
with universities, research institutes, and R&D agents on joint R&D projects involving TCMP processing methods and quality
standard, as well as the training of our researchers.
We
have been focusing on the research and development of new Advanced TCMP products. Dr. Jingzhen Deng, who has over 36 years of
experience in the TCMP research and development field, joined our Company in June 2013 as Vice President and Director of research
and development. Under his leadership, we established a research center in December 2013. We submitted eight invention patent
applications regarding Advanced TCMP to the State Intellectual Property Office of the PRC in the Spring of 2017. We also submitted
five additional invention patent applications to the State Intellectual Property Office of PRC afterward. All of these patents
have been under the substantive examination stages, which do not involve new products.
Our major customers are
hospitals, especially TCM hospitals, primarily in the Jiangsu province in China. Another substantial part of our sales are made
to pharmaceutical distributors, which then sell our products to hospitals and other healthcare distributors. As of January 31,
2021, our end-customer base includes 68 pharmaceutical companies, 23 pharmacies and 40 hospitals in 10 provinces and municipalities
in China including Jiangsu, Hubei, Shandong, Hebei, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Anhui, Henan, Liaoning, and Fujian.

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth under “Risk Factors”
described in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F, filed on July 31, 2020, as supplemented and updated by subsequent
current reports on Form 6-K that we have filed with the SEC, together with all other information contained or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement and in any related free writing prospectus in connection
with a specific offering, before making an investment decision. Each of the risk factors could materially and adversely affect
our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects, as well as the value of an investment in our securities, and
the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
Except
as described in any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus in connection with a specific offering, we currently
intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered under this prospectus to fund the development and commercialization
of our projects and the growth of our business, primarily working capital, and for general corporate purposes. We may also use
a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in technologies, products and/or businesses that we believe will enhance the
value of our Company, although we have no current commitments or agreements with respect to any such transactions as of the date
of this prospectus. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for the foregoing purposes. As a
result, our management will have broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds and investors will be relying on the judgment
of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of any sale of the securities. If a material part of the net proceeds
is to be used to repay indebtedness, we will set forth the interest rate and maturity of such indebtedness in a prospectus supplement.
Pending use of the net proceeds will be deposited in interest bearing bank accounts.
DILUTION
If
required, we will set forth in a prospectus supplement the following information regarding any material dilution of the equity
interests of investors purchasing securities in an offering under this prospectus:

the
net tangible book value per share of our equity securities before and after the offering;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
amount of the increase in such net tangible book value per share attributable to the cash payments made by purchasers in the
offering; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
amount of the immediate dilution from the public offering price which will be absorbed by such purchasers.

|
We
may issue the debt securities as exchangeable for or convertible into Ordinary Shares, preferred shares or other securities. The
preferred shares may also be exchangeable for and/or convertible into Ordinary Shares, another series of preferred shares or other
securities. The debt securities, the preferred shares, the Ordinary Shares and the warrants are collectively referred to in this
prospectus as the “securities.” When a particular series of securities is offered, a supplement to this prospectus
will be delivered with this prospectus, which will set forth the terms of the offering and sale of the offered securities.
Ordinary
Shares
As
of the date of this prospectus, there were 62,057,584 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
Rights,
Preferences and Restrictions of Ordinary Shares. Subject to the restrictions described under the section titled “Dividend
Policy” above, our directors may (subject to the M&A) authorize dividends at such time and in such amount as they determine.
Each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of Ordinary
Shares are (subject to the M&A) entitled to share ratably in all surplus assets remaining available for distribution to them
after payment and discharge of all claims, debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company and after provision is made for each
class of shares (if any) having preference over the Ordinary Shares if any at that time. There are no sinking fund provisions
applicable to our Ordinary Shares. Holders of our Ordinary Shares have no pre-emptive rights. Subject to the provisions of the
BVI Act, we may, (subject to the M&A) with shareholder consent, repurchase our Ordinary Shares in certain circumstances provided
always that the company will, immediately after the repurchase, satisfy the solvency test. The company will satisfy the solvency
test, if (i) the value of the company’s assets exceeds its liabilities; and (ii) the company is able to pay its debts as
they fall due.
Dividends. Subject
to the BVI Act and our M&A, our directors may, by resolution, declare dividends at a time and amount as they think fit if
they are satisfied, based on reasonable grounds, that, immediately after distribution of the dividend, the value of our assets
will exceed our liabilities and we will be able to pay our debts as they fall due. There is no further BVI law restriction on
the amount of funds which may be distributed by us by dividend, including all amounts paid by way of the subscription price for
Ordinary Shares regardless of whether such amounts may be wholly or partially treated as share capital or share premium under
certain accounting principles. Shareholder approval is not (except as otherwise provided in our M&As) required to pay dividends
under BVI law. In accordance with, and subject to, our M&A, no dividend shall bear interest as against the Company (except
as otherwise provided in our M&As).
Disclosure
of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities. Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed 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.
Transfer
of Shares. Subject to any applicable restrictions or limitations arising pursuant to (i) our M&A; or (ii) the
BVI Act, any of our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common
form or in any other form which our directors may approve (such instrument of transfer being signed by the transferor and containing
the name and address of the transferee). Our M&A also (save as otherwise provided therein) provide that (i) where Ordinary
Shares of the Company are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange or automated quotation system on which
the Ordinary Shares are then traded (the “Recognised Exchange”), shares may be transferred without the need
for a written instrument of transfer if the transfer is carried out in accordance with the law, rules, procedures and other requirements
applicable to shares listed on the Recognised Exchange or (ii) shares may be transferred by means of a system utilized for the
purposes of holding and transferring shares in uncertified form (the “Relevant System”), and that the operator
of the Relevant System (and any other person necessary to ensure the Relevant System is effective to transfer shares) shall act
as agent and attorney-in-fact of the Shareholders for the purposes of the transfer of any shares transferred by means of the Relevant
System (including, for such purposes, to execute and deliver an instrument of transfer in the name of and on behalf of any Shareholder
who is transferring shares).
Description
of Debt Securities
As
used in this prospectus, the term “debt securities” means the debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness
that we may issue from time to time. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt or subordinated
debt securities. We may also issue convertible debt securities. Debt securities issued under an indenture (which we refer to herein
as an Indenture) will be entered into between us and a trustee to be named therein. It is likely that convertible debt securities
will not be issued under an Indenture.
The
Indenture or forms of Indentures, if any, will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is
a part.
As
you read this section, please remember that for each series of debt securities, the specific terms of your debt security as described
in the applicable prospectus supplement will supplement and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described
in the summary below. The statement we make in this section may not apply to your debt security.
Events
of Default Under the Indenture
Unless
we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus applicable to a particular series of debt securities,
the following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:
|
●
|
if
we fail to pay the principal or premium, if any, when due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase or otherwise;
|
|
●
|
if
we fail to pay interest when due and payable and our failure continues for certain days;
|
|
●
|
if
we fail to observe or perform any other covenant contained in the Securities of a Series or in this Indenture, and our failure
continues for certain days after we receive written notice from the trustee or holders of at least certain percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series. The written notice must specify the Default,
demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default”;
|
|
●
|
if
specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur; and
|
|
●
|
if
any other event of default provided with respect to securities of that series, which is specified in a Board Resolution, a
supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate as defined in the Form of Indenture.
|
We
covenant in the Form of Indenture to deliver a certificate to the trustee annually, within certain days after the close of the
fiscal year, to show that we are in compliance with the terms of the indenture and that we have not defaulted under the indenture.
Nonetheless,
if we issue debt securities, the terms of the debt securities and the final form of indenture will be provided in a prospectus
supplement. Please refer to the prospectus supplement and the form of indenture attached thereto for the terms and conditions
of the offered debt securities. The terms and conditions may or may not include whether or not we must furnish periodic evidence
showing that an event of default does not exist or that we are in compliance with the terms of the indenture.
The
statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement regarding provisions of the Indentures and debt
securities are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference
to, all of the provisions of the Indentures (and any amendments or supplements we may enter into from time to time which are permitted
under each Indenture) and the debt securities, including the definitions therein of certain terms.
General
Unless
otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be direct secured or unsecured obligations of our company.
The senior debt securities will rank equally with any of our other unsecured senior and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated
debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to any senior indebtedness.
We
may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or
at a discount. Unless indicated in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without
the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional
debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities
under the applicable Indenture and will be equal in ranking.
Should
an indenture relate to unsecured indebtedness, in the event of a bankruptcy or other liquidation event involving a distribution
of assets to satisfy our outstanding indebtedness or an event of default under a loan agreement relating to secured indebtedness
of our company or its subsidiaries, the holders of such secured indebtedness, if any, would be entitled to receive payment of
principal and interest prior to payments on the senior indebtedness issued under an Indenture.

Exercise
of Warrants
Each
warrant will entitle the holder of warrants to purchase the number of Ordinary Shares or preferred shares of the relevant class
or series at the exercise price stated or determinable in the prospectus supplement for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised
at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date shown in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise
specified in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, if applicable, unexercised warrants
will become void. Warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. When the warrant
holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant
agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as possible, forward the securities
or other rights that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises less than all of the warrants represented
by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable
prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.
Prior
to the exercise of any warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares or preferred shares of the relevant class or series, holders of the
warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of Ordinary Shares or preferred shares purchasable upon exercise, including
the right to vote or to receive any payments of dividends or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the Ordinary
Shares or preferred shares purchasable upon exercise, if any.
Description
of Rights
We
may issue rights to purchase our securities. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving
the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or
more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities
remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement
to be entered into between us and one or more banks, trust companies or other financial institutions, as rights agent, that we
will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights
and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial
owners of rights.

right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of securities at the exercise price set
forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration
date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all
unexercised rights will become void.
If
less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to
persons other than our security holders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods,
including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Description
of Units
The
following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes
the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below
will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series
of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus. The terms of any units
offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. However, no prospectus supplement will fundamentally
change the terms that are set forth in this prospectus or offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus
at the time of its effectiveness.
We
will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from
another report we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we may offer under
this prospectus, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries
of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions
of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable
prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements
that contain the terms of the units.
We
may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series.
We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we may issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit
agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent, if any, may be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name
and address of the unit agent, if any, in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units. Specific
unit agreements, if any, will contain additional important terms and provisions. We will file as an exhibit to the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report that we file with the SEC,
the form of unit and the form of each unit agreement, if any, relating to units offered under this prospectus.
If

Sale
Through Underwriters or Dealers
Only
underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. If underwriters
are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase,
security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more
transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any
of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short
sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing
underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement,
the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will
be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time
any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
If
dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals.
They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus
supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.
We
will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we will pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection
with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers.
Direct
Sales and Sales Through Agents
We
may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such
securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved
in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated
in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its
appointment.
We
may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning
of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus
supplement.
Delayed
Delivery Contracts
If
the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of
institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide
for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described
in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those
contracts.
Market
Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
Unless
the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our Ordinary Shares, all securities we offer under this prospectus
will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in
the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities,
but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have
a liquid trading market.
Any
underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule
104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market
for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases
of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
Penalty
bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the
syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions,
syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence
of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
General
Information
Agents,
underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our agents, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of,
engage in transactions with or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.
LEGAL
MATTERS
Except
as otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, certain legal matters in connection with the securities offered
pursuant to this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Hunter Taubman Fischer & Li LLC to the extent governed by the laws
of the State of New York, and by Campbells to the extent governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands. If legal matters
in connection with offerings made pursuant to this prospectus are passed upon by counsel to underwriters, dealers or agents, such
counsel will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to any such offering.

WHERE
YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
As
permitted by SEC rules, this prospectus omits certain information and exhibits that are included in the registration statement
of which this prospectus forms a part. Since this prospectus may not contain all of the information that you may find important,
you should review the full text of these documents. If we have filed a contract, agreement or other document as an exhibit to
the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, you should read the exhibit for a more complete understanding
of the document or matter involved. Each statement in this prospectus, including statements incorporated by reference as discussed
above, regarding a contract, agreement or other document is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual document.
We
are subject to the information reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that are applicable to foreign private issuers,
and, in accordance with these requirements, we file annual and current reports and other information with the SEC. You may inspect,
read (without charge) and copy the reports and other information we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room
located at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room
by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an internet website at www.sec.gov that contains
our filed reports and other information that we file electronically with the SEC.
We
maintain a corporate website at www.sxtchina.com.. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website does
not constitute a part of this prospectus.
ENFORCEABILITY
OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We
are incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands as a business company with liability limited by shares. We are incorporated
in the British Virgin Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a British Virgin Islands corporation, 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 British Virgin Islands has a less developed
body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides protections for investors to a lesser extent. In addition,
British Virgin Islands 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 nationals and/or
residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets are located
outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States
upon us or such persons or to enforce against them or against us, judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.
We
have appointed Hunter Taubman Fischer & Li LLC 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 in 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.
Campbells,
our counsel to the laws of the British Virgin Islands, and Beijing Docvit Law Firm (“Docvit”), our counsel to PRC
law, have advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the British Virgin Islands or the PRC 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 British Virgin Islands or the PRC against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United
States or any state in the United States.
Campbells
has further advised us that the United States and the British Virgin Islands 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, may not be recognized and enforceable in the British Virgin Islands. We have also
been advised by Campbells 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 British Virgin Islands.
Docvit
has further advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedure
Law. PRC courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedure Law
based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on reciprocity between jurisdictions. On
20 June 2017, the Intermediate People’s Court in Wuhan (“IPCW”) became the first PRC court to recognize a US
judgment. This judgment in combination with previous recent developments in the PRC (“China”) could have a significant
effect on the way foreign judgments are treated by PRC courts, and make widespread recognition of foreign judgments possible in
China.
INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and
controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
