PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

Subject to Completion, dated July 23, 2025

Advanced Biomed Inc.

Up to 40,000,000 Shares of Common Stock to be Offered by the Selling Stockholder

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by Helena Global Investment Opportunities I Ltd. (“Helena” or the “Selling Stockholder”) of up to $25,000,000 in shares of Advanced Biomed Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” or “Advanced Biomed”), par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that may be issued by us to Helena pursuant to that certain common stock equity line of credit agreement, dated as of June 6, 2025, by and between the Company and Helena (the “ELOC Agreement”), establishing an equity line of credit (the “ELOC”). In connection with the ELOC Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to direct Helena to purchase up to $25,000,000 in shares of our Common Stock upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions contained in the ELOC Agreement. From time to time, we may register additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, in excess of the 40,000,000 shares initially registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We refer to the aforementioned resale offering as the “Resale Offering,” and the shares issuable thereunder as the “Resale Shares.” You should carefully read this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement as well as the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus before you purchase any of the securities offered hereby.

The actual number of shares of our Common Stock issuable will vary depending on the then-current market price of shares of our Common Stock sold to the Selling Stockholder under the ELOC Agreement, but will not exceed the number set forth on the cover page of this prospectus unless we file an additional registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). See “ELOC Financing” beginning on page 52 of this prospectus for a description of the ELOC Agreement and “Selling Stockholder” beginning on page 129 of this prospectus for additional information regarding Helena.

We have also committed to issue to the Selling Stockholder as a commitment fee a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Commitment Fee Shares”) having an aggregate value of $500,000. The Commitment Fee Shares shall be delivered on the date that is the earlier of the (i) the date that is six months following the date of the execution date of the ELOC Agreement and (ii) the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective (the “Required Delivery Date”). The number of Commitment Fee Shares to be delivered shall be determined by dividing $500,000 by the lower of (a) the lowest one day VWAP during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Required Delivery Date (the “Commitment Share Reference Price”) or (b) if such Commitment Fee Shares are not delivered on the Required Delivery Date in breach of the ELOC Agreement, (A) the lowest one day VWAP during the five (5) trading days preceding the actual date of delivery.

We are registering the shares on behalf of the Selling Stockholder, to be offered and sold by it from time to time. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus. We may receive up to $25,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds from Helena under the ELOC Agreement in connection with sales of the shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the ELOC Agreement at varying purchase prices after the date of this prospectus. However, the actual proceeds from Helena may be less than this amount depending on the number of shares of our Common Stock sold and the price at which the shares of our Common Stock are sold. The purchase price per share that Helena will pay for shares of Common Stock purchased from us under the ELOC Agreement will fluctuate based on the market price of our shares at the time we elect to sell shares to Helena and, further, to the extent that the Company sells shares of Common Stock under the ELOC Agreement, substantial amounts of shares could be issued and resold, which would cause dilution and may impact the Company’s stock price.

The Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time through public or private transactions, at either prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. Our registration of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Stockholder will offer or sell any of the shares. We will bear all of the registration expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the shares. We will not pay any of the selling commissions, brokerage fees and related expenses. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 130 of this prospectus.

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under symbol “ADVB.” On July 22, 2025, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock was $0.6366 per share. We recommend that you obtain current market quotations for our Common Stock prior to making an investment decision.

Sales of our Common Stock, if any, under this prospectus may be made by any method permitted that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust, or similar arrangement.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company” beginning on page 8 of this prospectus and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to this Offering” beginning on page 46 of this prospectus.

Although the majority of our operations are not conducted in Mainland China, we face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties relating to our Shanghai subsidiary, Shanghai Sglcell Biotech Co., Ltd., and such legal and operational risks and uncertainties also apply to our holding company, Advanced Biomed HK Limited (“Advanced Biomed HK”), in Hong Kong. The Chinese government may intervene or influence the operation of our Shanghai subsidiary and Advanced Biomed HK and exercise significant oversight and control over the conduct of their business and may intervene in or influence their operations at any time, or may exert more control over securities offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in us, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our Common Stock. Further, any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in us could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. We do not believe that we are directly subject to these regulatory actions or statements, as our Shanghai subsidiary does not have a VIE structure and their operations are not subject to cybersecurity review requirements, or involve any type of foreign investment restricted industry. Because these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative rule making bodies in China will respond to them, or what existing or new laws or regulations will be modified or promulgated, if any, or the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our subsidiaries’ daily business operations or ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. exchange. In July 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) opened cybersecurity probes into several U.S.-listed technology companies focusing on anti-monopoly regulation, and how companies collect, store, process and transfer data, among other things. On October 23, 2021, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress issued a discussion draft of the amended Anti-Monopoly Law, which proposes to increase the fines for illegal concentration of business operators to “no more than ten percent of its last year’s sales revenue if the concentration of business operator has or may have an effect of excluding or limiting competition; or a fine of up to RMB5 million if the concentration of business operator does not have an effect of excluding or limiting competition.” On December 24, 2021, nine government agencies jointly issued the Opinions on Promoting the Healthy and Sustainable Development of Platform Economy, which provides that, among others, monopolistic agreements, abuse of dominant market position and illegal concentration of business operators in the field of platform economy will be strictly investigated and punished in accordance with the relevant laws. We do not hold a dominant market position in our product markets and we have not entered into any monopolistic agreement. We have not received any inquiry from the relevant governmental authorities. On July 10, 2021, the CAC published a revised draft revision to the Cybersecurity Review Measures for public comment, or the Draft Cybersecurity Measures, and together with 12 other Chinese regulatory authorities, released the final version of the Revised Measures for Cybersecurity Review, or the Revised Cybersecurity Measures, in December 2021, which took effect on February 15, 2022. Pursuant to the Revised Cybersecurity Measures, critical information infrastructure operators procuring network products and services and online platform operators carrying out data processing activities, which affect or may affect national security, shall conduct a cybersecurity review pursuant to the provisions therein. In addition, online platform operators possessing personal information of more than one million users seeking to be listed on foreign stock markets must apply for a cybersecurity review. Further, an expert interpretation of the Revised Cybersecurity Measures published at the CAC’s website on February 17, 2022 indicated no application review is required for operators that have been listed abroad before the implementation of the Revised Cybersecurity Measures. The Revised Cybersecurity Measures apply to companies going abroad for secondary listing, dual primary listing and other new foreign listings and subject to the reporting requirements. We do not believe that we are an “online platform operator” within the meaning of the Revised Cybersecurity Measures, and, we currently do not have over one million users’ personal information and do not anticipate that we will be collecting over one million users’ personal information in the foreseeable future. The Regulation on Network Data Security Management (the “Network Data Regulation”) was promulgated by the State Council on September 24, 2024 and became effective as of January 1, 2025. The Network Data Regulation restates and further specifies the legal requirements for personal information, important data, cross-border data transfer, network platform services, and data security. Among others, if the network data processing activities have or may have impacts on national security, such activities shall be subject to national security review in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. Any failure to comply with such requirements may subject us to, among others, suspension of services, fines, revoking relevant business permits or business licenses and penalties. We are also not subject to Network Data Regulation, since we currently do not collect data that affects or may affect national security and we do not anticipate that we will be collecting data that affects or may affect national security in the foreseeable future.

On December 24, 2021, China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) issued the Administrative Provisions of the State Council Regarding the Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Enterprises (the “Draft Administrative Provisions”) and the Measures for the Overseas Issuance of Securities and Listing Record-Filings by Domestic Enterprises (Draft for Comments) (the “Draft Filing Measures”), collectively, the Draft Overseas Listing Rules. On February 17, 2023, the CSRC released Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies with five interpretive guidelines (the “Trial Measures”) which came into effect on March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Trial Measures, a PRC domestic company that seeks to offer and list securities in overseas markets, either in direct or indirect overseas offering, shall fulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC per requirement of the Trial Measures, submit relevant materials that contain a filing report and a legal opinion, and provide truthful, accurate and complete information on the shareholder and etc. Direct overseas offering and listing by domestic companies refers to such overseas offering and listing by a joint-stock company incorporated domestically. Any overseas offering and listing made by an issuer that meets both the following conditions will be determined as indirect offering and listing in overseas market and, therefore, be subject to filing requirement: (i) 50% or more of the issuer’s operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in its audited consolidated financial statements for the most recent accounting year is accounted for by domestic companies; and (ii) the main parts of the issuer’s business activities are conducted in the Mainland China, or its main places of business are located in the Mainland China, or the senior managers in charge of its business operation and management are mostly Chinese citizens or domiciled in the Mainland China. The determination as to whether or not an overseas offering and listing by domestic companies is indirect, shall be made on substance over form basis. As of the date of this prospectus, we believe we are not required to obtain the approval from or complete the filing with the CSRC for this offering and thus we have not submitted an application for approval for this offering with the CSRC pursuant to the Trial Measures based on the facts that (i) we are a holding company incorporated in the State of Nevada, not a company incorporated under the PRC law; (ii) based on the report on the Shanghai subsidiary from a third party accounting firm in China, the Shanghai subsidiary contributed less than 50% to our operating revenue, total profit, total assets or net assets as documented in the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024; (iii) the business activities are primarily conducted in Taiwan, with minimal operation in Mainland China, and (iv) most of our officers and directors are non-Chinese citizens or domiciled outside Mainland China. Thus, we do not meet the explicit conditions set out in the Trial Measures to determine whether an overseas offering shall be deemed as a direct or an indirect overseas offering and listing by a domestic company. However, as the Trial Measures was newly published and the determination as to whether or not an overseas offering and listing by domestic companies is indirect, shall be made on a substance over form basis, there are substantial uncertainties as to the implementation and interpretation, and the CSRC may take a view that is contrary to our understanding of the Trial Measures. If we are required by the CSRC to submit and complete the filing procedures of this offering and listing, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete such filings in a timely manner, or even at all. Any failure by us to comply with such filing requirements under the Trial Measures may result in rectification, warnings, and a fine between RMB1 million and RMB10 million on our Shanghai subsidiary, which could adversely and materially affect our business operations and financial outlook, and significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our Common Stock to investors and could cause the value of our Common Stock to significantly decline or such shares to become worthless.

As of the date of this prospectus, we and our only subsidiaries in the Mainland China and Hong Kong (1) are not required to obtain permissions from any PRC authorities to operate or issue our Common Stock to foreign investors, (2) are not subject to permission requirements from the CSRC, CAC or any other entity that is required to approve of our PRC subsidiary’s operations, and (3) have not received or were denied such permissions by any PRC authorities. As of the date of this prospectus, these new laws and guidelines have not impacted our ability to conduct our business, accept foreign investments, or continue to list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange; however, if (i) we inadvertently conclude that permissions or approvals are not required from applicable PRC authorities, (ii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change, and we are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future, or (iii) we fail to file or were denied any required permission from the PRC authorities to this offering, any follow-up offerings or transactions, our ability to conduct our business may be materially impacted, and we will not be able to continue listing on any U.S. exchange, continue to offer securities to investors, the interest of the investors may be materially and adversely affected and our Common Stock may significantly decrease in value or become worthless. To date, there are uncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of these new laws and guidelines, which could materially and adversely impact our business and financial outlook and may impact our ability to accept foreign investments, or continue to list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. See “Risk Factors — The Chinese government may intervene in or influence our operations in the Mainland China or Hong Kong at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in us, which could result in a material change in our operations and and/or the value of the securities we are registering for sale”; “Risk Factors — If the Chinese government were to exert more oversight and control over or impose new requirements for approval from the PRC authorities to issue our Common Stock to foreign investors or list on a foreign exchange, such action could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless”; “Risk Factors — If the Chinese government chooses to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, such action could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless”; and “Risk Factors — The M&A Rules and certain PRC regulations may make it more difficult for us to pursue growth through acquisitions.”

Cash may be transferred within our organization in the following manners: (i) Advanced Biomed may transfer funds to our subsidiaries, including our Shanghai subsidiary, by way of capital contributions or loans, through intermediate holding subsidiaries or otherwise; (ii) we and our intermediate holding subsidiaries may provide loans to our operating subsidiaries and vice versa; and (iii) our subsidiaries, including our Shanghai subsidiary, may make dividends or other distributions to us through intermediate holding companies or otherwise. As of the date of this prospectus, Advanced Biomed made fourteen capital contributions to Advanced Biomed Inc. (Taiwan) (“Advanced Biomed Taiwan”) and Advanced Biomed HK to support their research and development.

Other than the transfers in the table above, we have not made any distribution of dividends or assets, cash transfers, capital contributions or loans among the holding company or any of our subsidiaries. Any loans from us or our holding subsidiaries outside of Mainland China to our Shanghai subsidiary, which is treated as a foreign-invested enterprise (“FIE”) under PRC law, are subject to PRC regulations and foreign exchange loan registrations. Such loans to our FIE subsidiary to finance its activities must be registered with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) or its local counterparts. PRC laws, regulations and judicial interpretations thereof do not prohibit using cash generated from one subsidiary to fund another subsidiary’s operations by way of short term interest free loans as long as they comply with relevant laws and procedures. In the future, cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities, including this offering, may be transferred by us to our Taiwan and Hong Kong subsidiaries and Shanghai subsidiary via capital contributions or shareholder loans. As of the date of this prospectus, Advanced Biomed has not made dividend or other distributions to our stockholders. Advanced Biomed may pay dividends to our stockholders subject to our ability to service our debts as they become due and provided that our assets will exceed our liabilities after the payment of such dividends. As a holding company, Advanced Biomed may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiaries for our cash and liquidity requirements, including payment of any debt we may incur outside of China and our expenses. If any of our subsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to us. To the extent cash or assets in the business is in the PRC or a PRC subsidiary, the cash or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on our or our subsidiaries’ ability by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets or distribute earnings within our group or to U.S. investors. PRC laws and regulations applicable to our Shanghai subsidiary permit payments of dividends only out of their retained earnings, if any, determined in accordance with applicable accounting standards and regulations. Our Shanghai subsidiary may pay dividends only out of their respective accumulated after-tax profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our subsidiaries are required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain statutory reserve funds, until the aggregate amount of such funds reaches 50% of its registered capital. At its discretion, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to discretionary funds. These reserve funds and discretionary funds are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, dividends paid by our Shanghai subsidiary to its parent companies will be subject to a 10% withholding tax, which can be reduced to 5% if certain requirements are met. The PRC government also imposes restrictions on the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC. As such, we may experience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary to obtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits, if any, or transfer cash within our group, across border, or to U.S. investors. Additionally, current Taiwan regulations only permit our Taiwan subsidiary to pay dividends to its shareholders out of its accumulated profits, and Advanced Biomed Taiwan must set aside at least 10% of its accumulated profits each year and use it to make up previous losses, if any. The statutory reserve cannot be distributed as cash dividends. As of the date of this prospectus, no dividends, transfers, or distributions have been made within our group or to stockholders. We presently intend to retain all earnings to fund our operations and business expansions and have no plan to distribute earnings to stockholders. We do not anticipate paying dividends or other distributions to our stockholders, including U.S. investors, in the foreseeable future. See the relevant discussions in “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China” on page 33; “Risk Factors — PRC regulation on loans to, and direct investment in, PRC entities by offshore holding companies and governmental control in currency conversion may delay or prevent us from making loans to or making additional capital contributions to our Shanghai subsidiary” on page 38; “Risk Factors — Our Shanghai subsidiary is subject to restrictions on paying dividends or making other payments to us, which may restrict our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements in the future” on page 38 ; “Risk Factors — Payment of dividends is subject to restrictions under PRC laws” on page 43 ; and “Risk Factors — Advanced Biomed Taiwan is subject to restrictions on paying dividend or making other payments to us, which may restrict our ability to satisfy its liquidity requirements” on page 31.”

Our Common Stock may be prohibited from trading on a national exchange or “over-the-counter” markets under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”) if the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) determines it is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditors for three consecutive years beginning in 2021. Further, on June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (“AHFCAA”). If the AHFCAA is enacted into law, it would amend the HFCAA and require the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections or complete investigations for two consecutive years instead of three. On December 29, 2022, a legislation entitled “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023” (the “Consolidated Appropriations Act”), was signed into law by President Biden. The Consolidated Appropriations Act contained, among other things, an identical provision to HFCAA, which reduces the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two. Pursuant to the HFCAA, 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 Mainland China and Hong Kong because of positions taken by the authorities in those jurisdictions. In addition, the PCAOB’s report identified the specific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol Agreement with the CSRC and the Ministry of Finance (the “MOF”) of the PRC governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in China or Hong Kong. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced in the 2022 Determination its determination that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access to inspect and investigate accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong, and the PCAOB Board voted to vacate previous determinations to the contrary. Should the PCAOB again encounter impediments to inspections and investigations in Mainland China or Hong Kong as a result of positions taken by any authority in either jurisdiction, including by the CSRC or the MOF, the PCAOB will make determinations under the HFCAA as and when appropriate. Our auditor, WWC, P.C., is headquartered in California and, as a PCAOB-registered public accounting firm, is required to undergo regular inspections by the PCAOB to assess its compliance with the laws of the U.S. and professional standards. WWC, P.C. has been subject to PCAOB inspections and is not among the PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in the PRC or Hong Kong that are subject to PCAOB’s determination of having been unable to inspect or investigate completely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate our auditor completely, if there is any regulatory change or step taken by PRC regulators that does not permit WWC, P.C. to provide audit documentations located in China or Hong Kong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation, or the PCAOB expands the scope of the Determination so that we are subject to the HFCAA, as the same may be amended, you may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. Any audit reports not issued by auditors that are completely inspected or investigated by the PCAOB, or a lack of PCAOB inspections of audit work undertaken in China that prevents the PCAOB from regularly evaluating our auditors’ audits and their quality control procedures, could result in a lack of assurance that our financial statements and disclosures are adequate and accurate, which could result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S. capital markets, and trading of our securities, including trading on the national exchange and trading on “over-the-counter” markets, may be prohibited under the HFCAA and our securities may be delisted by an exchange. See “Risk Factors — Recent joint statement by the SEC and the PCAOB, rule changes by Nasdaq, and the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act all call for additional and more stringent criteria to be applied to emerging market companies upon assessing the qualification of their auditors, especially the non-U.S. auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB. These developments could add uncertainties to our continued listing or future offerings of our securities in the U.S.”

On July 18, 2025, we received a written notice (the “Deficiency Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying us that, for the last 32 consecutive business days, the bid price for our Common Stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our Common Stock, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ADVB.” In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until January 14, 2026 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If we do not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period and any additional compliance period, our Common Stock will be subject to delisting. See “Risk Factors — If we cannot continue to satisfy the listing requirements and other rules of Nasdaq Capital Market, our securities may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and your ability to sell them” on page 48.

Although our Hong Kong subsidiary is a holding company with no operations, it may be subject to similar risks faced by our Shanghai subsidiary if the Chinese government exert more control over or impose new laws or regulations on business activities in Hong Kong. See “Risk Factors — The Chinese government may exert more control over Hong Kong business or impose new laws or regulations on business activities in Hong Kong.”

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17.

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
