Current report
Our efforts to diversify into electric industrial heavy equipment may not be successful, and the suspension of substantially all of HEVI’s operations due to tariff uncertainty could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Current report
To remain competitive, we have sought to diversify our product offerings beyond our traditional transmission systems and integrated powertrains for material handling machinery by expanding into the production and sale of electric industrial heavy equipment. Prior to December 2020, through Zhongchai Holding and its PRC subsidiaries, our products primarily consisted of transmission systems and integrated powertrains for material handling machinery, particularly electric forklift trucks. In December 2020, through our subsidiary HEVI, we launched a new division focused on the production and sale of electric industrial heavy equipment as part of our strategy to diversify our business.
Current report
HEVI’s electric industrial heavy equipment product portfolio includes lithium-powered electric forklifts, electric wheeled loaders, electric excavators, and related charging solutions, which have been marketed primarily in the United States. HEVI also established an assembly and distribution facility in Maryland and entered into strategic partnerships intended to support the development and commercialization of electric heavy machinery for the U.S. market. Despite these efforts, this line of business remains at an early stage and has not yet demonstrated sustained commercial success.
Current report
Our expansion into electric industrial heavy equipment involves significant risks and uncertainties. We have limited operating history and experience in this segment, which differs materially from our legacy business. We may encounter difficulties in product development, manufacturing, supply chain management, regulatory compliance, distribution, customer adoption, and after-sales service. Our products may not achieve market acceptance, may face strong competition from established manufacturers, or may not be cost-competitive. As a result, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to recover our investment or achieve profitability.
Current report
In addition, substantially all of HEVI’s business operations have been suspended since 2025 due to uncertainty regarding tariff policy, which has adversely affected our ability to manufacture, import, distribute, and sell electric industrial heavy equipment. This suspension has limited HEVI’s revenue-generating activities and may continue for an extended period. Although HEVI intends to resume operations once the policy environment stabilizes, there can be no assurance as to when, or whether, such stabilization will occur, or whether HEVI will be able to successfully restart operations on commercially reasonable terms.
Current report
If the suspension of HEVI’s operations continues, or if we are unable to successfully resume or scale this business following a resumption of operations, our transition into electric industrial heavy equipment may be delayed or unsuccessful. During this transition period, our revenues may remain limited, our operating losses may increase, and our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and business prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Current report
Tariffs and other trade barriers imposed on Chinese goods, including components manufactured in the PRC and assembled in the United States by HEVI, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current report
Our business is subject to significant risks arising from the trade policies of the United States government with respect to Chinese goods, and the broader relationship between the United States and the PRC. HEVI’s electric industrial heavy equipment products are manufactured using components sourced from and manufactured in the PRC, which are then assembled into finished products in the United States. As a result, U.S. tariff policies on Chinese goods have a direct and material impact on HEVI’s cost structure and business operations. In February 2025, President Donald J. Trump declared a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") and announced the imposition of a 10% tariff on all imports from China, citing concerns related to trade imbalances and national security. These tariffs were subsequently lifted following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Learning Resources in February 2026. A temporary 10% global tariff on imports was separately imposed under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. Tariffs imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 remain unaffected by the Supreme Court's ruling and continue to apply to Chinese goods. As of February 2026, average U.S. tariff rates on Chinese goods were approximately 34%, excluding exemptions and Section 232 actions, further increasing the cost burden on U.S. importers of PRC-manufactured components and potentially affecting demand for products sourced from the PRC.
Current report
The imposition of these tariffs, and any future escalation thereof, significantly increases the landed cost of PRC-manufactured components imported by HEVI for assembly in the United States, potentially rendering HEVI's finished products less competitive relative to domestically produced alternatives or products sourced from non-tariffed jurisdictions. Our operating subsidiaries, including HEVI, may be unable to pass increased costs through to their customers, whether due to competitive pricing pressures, contractual constraints, or prevailing market conditions, which would compress margins and adversely affect profitability.
Current report
The business operations of HEVI have been suspended since 2025 due to the uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariff policy and the broader trade war between the United States and the PRC, as described elsewhere in this Report. Because HEVI’s products rely on components manufactured in the PRC, the imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods has materially disrupted HEVI’s ability to import components at commercially viable costs, thereby rendering its assembly and distribution operations in the United States economically unviable under current tariff conditions. To the extent that HEVI’s suspension is prolonged or becomes permanent, the practical impact of tariffs on HEVI’s near-term operations may be limited; however, any future resumption of HEVI’s business activities would require the continued importation of PRC-manufactured components into the United States, which would be subject to the full scope of applicable tariff regimes. The costs and uncertainties associated with those tariffs could impede or delay any such resumption. Additionally, the continued application of tariffs affects the broader competitive and cost environment in which our other subsidiaries operate.
Current report
More broadly, any deterioration in the relationship between the United States and the PRC, whether arising from tariff disputes, geopolitical tensions, sanctions, export controls, or other trade-related measures, could further increase the costs associated with importing PRC-manufactured components into the United States or limit our ability to source such components altogether. Given HEVI’s dependence on PRC-manufactured components for its assembly operations in the United States, any such deterioration would have a particularly direct and adverse impact on HEVI’s operations and cost structure. If existing tariffs remain in place, are further escalated, or if new tariff regimes are introduced targeting Chinese goods or components, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Current report
Geopolitical conflicts involving Iran, military actions in the Middle East, and the war in Ukraine may adversely affect economic conditions in the U.S., China and globally, and cause significant volatility in the trading price of our Class A ordinary shares.
Current report
The heightened military conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which escalated significantly in February 2026, has led to profound instability in global financial and energy markets. These events, including the closure of strategic airspaces and critical maritime routes such as the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, have contributed to a dramatic increase in the price of oil and gas and created widespread market uncertainty. China is particularly exposed to these developments, as it is the largest purchaser of Iranian crude oil, having absorbed nearly 90% of Iran’s total crude exports as of early 2026. Any sustained disruption to Iranian oil exports, whether resulting from military action, the imposition of additional sanctions, or the closure of key maritime transit routes, could materially reduce the supply of crude oil available to China, drive up domestic energy costs, and exert significant downward pressure on China’s broader economy. The ongoing disruptions caused by these military actions, and the potential for further escalation, could result in protracted and severe damage to the global economy and investment climate, with disproportionate consequences for China-based businesses such as us.
Current report
Furthermore, the continuing war in Ukraine and the resulting sanctions levied by the United States, the European Union, and other nations against Russia continue to impact global financial markets. The extent and duration of these military actions in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, as well as the resulting sanctions and market disruptions, are impossible to predict but are expected to remain substantial. The cumulative effect of these geopolitical pressures, including elevated global energy prices, supply chain disruptions, and reduced international trade flows, may weigh materially on China’s economic growth, consumer spending, and business investment, each of which is relevant to our ability to sustain and grow our business operations China.
Current report
Such geopolitical instability often leads to broad sell-offs in the equity markets and heightened investor sensitivity to risk. To the extent that disruptions to Iranian oil exports or other geopolitical developments adversely affect China’s energy supply, increase domestic production costs, or dampen consumer confidence and economic activity within China, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Consequently, these developments may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Class A ordinary shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. We cannot predict the ultimate progress or outcome of these situations, and any prolonged unrest or intensified military activities could have a material adverse effect on the global economy and, in particular, on economic conditions in China, which in turn could negatively impact our financial condition and the value of our securities.
Current report
Nasdaq has recently adopted and proposed new listing rules that could result in the accelerated delisting of our Class A ordinary shares.
Current report
Nasdaq has recently adopted and proposed several new continued listing requirements that could subject our Class A ordinary shares to accelerated suspension and delisting proceedings, with limited or no opportunity to cure noncompliance.
Current report
Amended Minimum Bid Price Rule (Effective January 19, 2026). Nasdaq amended its minimum bid price rules, effective January 19, 2026, such that if a listed security’s closing bid price falls below $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will immediately issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 and the company will be ineligible for any compliance period that would otherwise be available. Prior to this amendment, an immediate delisting determination could only be issued after a company’s security had already been non-compliant with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for 30 consecutive trading days. Nasdaq adopted this change on the basis that a rapid decline in a security’s price to below $0.10 is indicative of deep financial or operational distress that is unlikely to be temporary.
Current report
Proposed Minimum Market Value Requirement (SR-NASDAQ-2026-004, Pending SEC Approval). Nasdaq has proposed a new rule that would require listed companies on the Nasdaq Global Market and Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities of at least $5 million. Failure to satisfy this requirement for 30 consecutive business days would result in immediate suspension and delisting without a standard compliance period. Under the proposed rule, any automatic stay of suspension during an appeal would be eliminated, meaning our securities would likely trade over-the-counter while any appeal is pending.
Current report
Proposed Discretionary Delisting Authority (SR-NASDAQ-2026-009, Pending SEC Approval). Nasdaq has also proposed granting itself discretionary authority to immediately delist securities if the SEC has suspended trading due to potential third-party misconduct.
Current report
If our Class A ordinary shares are delisted from Nasdaq for any reason, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Delisting would likely cause the trading volume and liquidity of our Class A ordinary shares to decline significantly, as many institutional investors are prohibited by their investment mandates from holding securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange. Our Class A ordinary shares would likely be traded on the over-the-counter markets, where investors may find it more difficult to obtain timely and accurate information about our company and where the trading market may be significantly less liquid than Nasdaq. The reduction in liquidity could cause the trading price of our Class A ordinary shares to decline materially. In addition, delisting could impair our ability to raise capital through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities, as investors and underwriters may be unwilling to participate in offerings of securities that are not listed on a national securities exchange. Delisting could also trigger defaults or acceleration provisions under any existing or future debt instruments or agreements, and could impair our ability to attract and retain employees, customers, and business partners who may view a Nasdaq listing as an indicator of our financial stability and credibility. Furthermore, the delisting of our Class A ordinary shares could result in negative publicity and erode investor confidence in our company, which could have a long-term adverse impact on our business prospects and the value of your investment.
Current report
Our dual-class share structure with different voting rights will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any change of control transactions that holders of our Class A ordinary shares may view as beneficial.
Current report
Under our dual-class share structure, our ordinary shares consist of Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. In respect of matters requiring the votes of shareholders, holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to 25 votes per share, while holders of Class A ordinary shares are entitled to one vote per share based on our dual-class share structure. Each Class B ordinary share is convertible into one Class A ordinary share at any time by the holder thereof, while Class A ordinary shares are not convertible into Class B ordinary shares under any circumstances. Upon any sale, transfer, assignment, or disposition of any Class B ordinary shares by a holder thereof to a transferee who is not an affiliate of the transferor, such Class B ordinary shares are automatically and immediately converted into an equal number of Class A ordinary shares.
Current report
As of the date of this Report, Mr. Peter Zuguang Wang, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, beneficially owns all of our issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares. These Class B ordinary shares constitute approximately 24.00% of our total issued and outstanding ordinary shares and 88.76% of the aggregate voting power of our total issued and outstanding ordinary shares, due to the disparate voting powers associated with our dual-class share structure. As a result of the dual-class share structure and the concentration of ownership, the holder of Class B ordinary shares will have considerable influence over matters such as decisions regarding mergers, consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors, and other significant corporate actions. The holder may take actions that are not in the best interest of us or our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay, or prevent a change in control of our Company, which could have the effect of depriving our other shareholders of the opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our Company and may reduce the price of the Class A ordinary shares. This concentrated control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could discourage others from pursuing any potential merger, takeover, or other change of control transactions that holders of Class A ordinary shares may view as beneficial.
Current report
The dual-class structure of our ordinary shares may adversely affect the trading market for the Class A ordinary shares.
Current report
S&P Dow Jones and FTSE Russell have announced changes to their eligibility criteria for inclusion of shares of public companies in certain indices, including the S&P 500, to exclude companies with multiple classes of shares and companies whose public shareholders hold no more than 5% of total voting power from being added to such indices. In addition, several shareholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple class capital structures. As a result, the dual class structure of our ordinary shares may prevent the inclusion of the Class A ordinary shares in such indices and may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any such exclusion from indices could result in a less active trading market for the Class A ordinary shares. Any actions or publications by shareholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could also adversely affect the value of the Class A ordinary shares.
Current report
Our Class A ordinary shares may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations, which could lead to costly litigation for us and make an investment in us less appealing.
Current report
The market price of our Class A ordinary shares may fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including:
Current report
In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for shares of PRC-based issuers in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes, inflation, public health crises, geopolitical instability or disruptions in global supply chains, could cause the market price of our Class A ordinary shares to decline materially, regardless of our actual operating performance or prospects. As a result, investors in our Class A ordinary shares may experience a significant decrease in the value of their investment and may be unable to resell their shares at or above the price paid.

Previous report
To remain competitive, our subsidiaries have introduced new lines of business, including the production and sale of electric industrial heavy equipment. If these efforts are not successful, our results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
Previous report
Prior to December 2020, through Zhongchai Holding and its PRC subsidiaries, our products mainly included transmission systems and integrated powertrains for material handling machineries, particularly for electric forklift trucks. In December 2020, through HEVI, we launched a new division to focus on the production and sale of electric industrial heavy equipment—a division that Greenland intends to develop to diversify its product offerings. HEVI’s electric industrial heavy equipment products currently include GEF-series electric forklifts, a series of lithium powered forklifts with three models ranging in size from 1.8 tons to 3.5 tons, GEL-1800, a 1.8 ton rated load lithium powered electric wheeled front loader, GEX-8000, an all-electric 8.0 ton rated load lithium powered wheeled excavator, and GEL-5000, an all-electric 5.0 ton rated load lithium wheeled front loader. HEVI also introduced mobile DC battery chargers to support a growing market of EV applications requiring DC charging capabilities in the North America market. These products are available for purchase in the U.S. market. In August 2022, HEVI launched a 54,000 square foot industrial electric vehicle assembly site in Baltimore, Maryland to support local services, assembly and distribution of its electric industrial heavy equipment product line. In July 2024, HEVI announced a partnership with Lonking Holdings Limited to develop and distribute heavy electric machinery and related technology specialized for the U.S. market. In August 2024, HEVI launched its H55L all-electric wheeled front-end loader, which can lift up to six tons in indoor and outdoor applications without the mess and emissions of diesel, and the H65L all-electric wheeled front-end loader, the largest lithium battery powered electric wheel loader commercially available in North America.
Previous report
There are risks in connection with this new line of business. HEVI may experience difficulties in the development and launch of electric industrial heavy equipment, and HEVI’s products may not be well-accepted by the market. As we have limited experience in the electric industrial heavy equipment business, our efforts in developing such business may not succeed and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to cover our investment and become profitable. During such process, our results of operations and financial conditions may not be improved in a timely manner, or at all. We cannot assure you that we will successfully transition our business focus and it is possible that we remain in such transition period for an extended period of time. During such period, our revenue may be very limited and we may continue to experience material and adverse effects to our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects.
Previous report
New lines of business, including the production and sale of electric industrial heavy equipment, may subject us and our subsidiaries to additional risks.
Previous report
From time to time, we may implement new lines of business or offer new products within our subsidiaries’ existing lines of business. Currently, we plan to offer additional models of electric industrial heavy equipment through HEVI. As such, we face significant challenges, uncertainties and risks, including, among others, with respect to our subsidiaries’ ability to:
Previous report
Moreover, there can be no assurance that the introduction and development of new lines of business or new products and services would not encounter significant difficulties or delay or would achieve the profitability as we expect. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business or new products or services could have a material adverse effect on our subsidiaries’ business and our results of operations and prospects. For example, HEVI may experience difficulties in developing and launching additional models of electric industrial heavy equipment, or may not be able to develop them at reasonable costs. Due to HEVI’s limited experience with electric industrial heavy equipment, HEVI also face challenges and uncertainties relating to the possibility of success of this new business.
Previous report
As our subsidiaries enter into new business sectors, our subsidiaries are also subject to competition from such industries. There can be no assurance that our subsidiaries will be able to compete effectively with respect to their new businesses. If our subsidiaries fail to establish their strengths or maintain their competitiveness in those industries, our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
Previous report
We are currently operating in a period of economic uncertainty and capital markets disruption, which has been significantly impacted by geopolitical instability due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia and conflicts between Israel and Hamas.
Previous report
For example, on April 26, 2024, all of the Company’s current directors, the Company’s chief executive officer, and the Company’s controlling shareholder, Cenntro Holding Limited, were named as defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”), and the Company was named as a nominal defendant in a shareholder derivate action filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The complaint assets, inter alia, that Defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to the Company, committed waste and violated Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The complainant seeks: (i) on behalf of the Company, monetary damages of no less than $38,060,365; (ii) to restrict Mr. Peter Wang, the chairman of the Company’s board of directors from selling ordinary shares of the Company until Cenntro Holding Limited has paid off its amount due to the Company and setting up a trust over any future funds from sales of the Company’s ordinary shares by Mr. Peter Wang or Cenntro Holding Limited; (iii) that the Defendants disgorge profits obtained as a result of their wrongful conduct; (iv) to enjoin of the Company’s proposed spin-off transaction; (v) attorney fees and costs; and (vi) any other relief the court may deem just and proper.
Previous report
On June 28, 2024, the Company’s board of directors held a board meeting, during which the directors of the Company unanimously approved a decision to terminate its previously announced plan of spinning off its drivetrain systems segment. After due diligence review, the Company’s board of directors has identified that the spin-off would likely not generate significant value to its shareholders due to changing market conditions. On July 8, 2024, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the shareholder derivative action. On February 28, 2025, the court granted the Defendants’ motion to dismiss, and the complainant’s complaint was dismissed without prejudice.
Previous report
We may be unable to complete a business combination transaction efficiently or on favorable terms due to complicated merger and acquisition regulations and certain other PRC regulations.
Previous report
On August 8, 2006, six PRC regulatory authorities, including Ministry of Commerce, the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the SAT, the Administration for Industry and Commerce, the CSRC and SAFE, jointly issued the M&A Rules, which became effective on September 8, 2006 and were amended in June 2009. The M&A Rules, governing the approval process by which a PRC company may participate in an acquisition of assets or equity interests by foreign investors, requires the PRC parties to make a series of applications and supplemental applications to the government agencies, depending on the structure of the transaction. In some instances, the application process may require presentation of economic data concerning a transaction, including appraisals of the target business and evaluations of the acquirer, which are designed to allow the government to assess the transaction. Accordingly, due to the M&A Rules, our ability to engage in business combination transactions has become significantly more complicated, time-consuming and expensive, and we may not be able to negotiate a transaction that is acceptable to our shareholders or sufficiently protective of their interests in a transaction.
Previous report
The M&A Rules allow PRC government agencies to assess the economic terms of a business combination transaction. Parties to a business combination transaction may have to submit to Ministry of Commerce and other relevant government agencies an appraisal report, an evaluation report and the acquisition agreement, all of which form part of the application for approval, depending on the structure of the transaction. The M&A Rules also prohibit a transaction at an acquisition price obviously lower than the appraised value of the business or assets in China and in certain transaction structures, require that consideration must be paid within defined periods, generally not in excess of a year. In addition, the M&A Rules also limit our ability to negotiate various terms of the acquisition, including aspects of the initial consideration, contingent consideration, holdback provisions, indemnification provisions and provisions relating to the assumption and allocation of assets and liabilities. Transaction structures involving trusts, nominees and similar entities are prohibited. Therefore, such regulations may impede our ability to negotiate and complete a business combination transaction on legal and/or financial terms that satisfy our investors and protect our shareholders’ economic interests.

As of December 31, 2024, we had approximately $29.08 million of cash and cash equivalents. Historically, we have spent a significant amount of cash on our operational activities, principally to procure raw materials for our subsidiaries’ products. Our short-term loans are from Chinese banks and are generally secured by a portion of our fixed assets, land use rights and/or guarantees by related parties. Certain of these loans are secured against a portion of the shares of our PRC subsidiaries. The term of a majority of such loans is one year. Historically, we rolled over such loans on an annual basis. However, we may not have sufficient funds available to pay all of our borrowings upon maturity in the future. Failure to roll over our short-term borrowings at maturity or to service our debt could result in a transfer of the ownership of a portion of the shares of our PRC subsidiaries to secured lenders, the imposition of penalties, including increases in interest rates, legal actions against us by our creditors, and even insolvency.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, our subsidiaries’ five largest customers contributed 40.60% and 45.06% of our revenues, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, Greenland’s single largest customer, Hangcha Group, accounted for 14.19% and 14.98%, respectively, of Greenland’s total revenue, and Greenland’s second largest customer, Longgong Forklift Truck, accounted for 11.94% and 11.75%, respectively, of Greenland’s total revenue. As a result of our subsidiaries’ reliance on a limited number of customers, our subsidiaries may face pricing and other competitive pressures, which may have a material adverse effect on our profits and our revenues. The volume of products sold for specific customers varies from year to year, especially since our subsidiaries are not the exclusive provider for any customers. In addition, there are a number of factors that could cause the loss of a customer or a substantial reduction in the products that our subsidiaries provide to any customer that may not be predictable. For example, our subsidiaries’ customers may decide to reduce spending on our subsidiaries’ products or a customer may no longer need our subsidiaries’ products following the completion of a project. The loss of any one of our subsidiaries’ major customers, a decrease in the volume of sales to our subsidiaries’ customers or a decrease in the price at which our subsidiaries sell their products to customers could materially adversely affected our profits and revenues.

Previous wording
HEVI, an operating subsidiary of ours in the U.S., maintains commercial general liability insurance for its business operations. However, our PRC subsidiaries have limited insurance coverage for their operations in China, and our PRC subsidiaries are therefore exposed to risks associated with product liability claims against our PRC subsidiaries or otherwise against their operations in the PRC in the event that the use of our PRC subsidiaries’ products results in property damage or personal injury. Since our subsidiaries’ transmission products are ultimately incorporated into forklifts, it is possible that users of forklifts or people installing these products could be injured or killed, whether as a result of defects, improper installation or other causes. We are unable to predict whether product liability claims will be brought against our PRC subsidiaries in the future or to predict the impact of any resulting adverse publicity on our PRC subsidiaries’ business. The successful assertion of product liability claims against our PRC subsidiaries could result in potentially significant monetary damages and require us to make significant payments. Our subsidiaries do not carry product liability insurance and may not have adequate resources to satisfy a judgment in the event of a successful claim against us. In addition, our subsidiaries do not currently, and may not in the future, maintain business interruption insurance coverage. As such, our subsidiaries may suffer losses that result from interruptions in their operations as a result of inability to operate or failures of equipment and infrastructure at our subsidiaries’ facilities. Our subsidiaries also do not currently maintain catastrophe insurance. As such, any natural disaster or man-made disaster could result in substantial losses and diversion of our subsidiaries’ resources to address the effects of such an occurrence, which could materially and adversely affect our subsidiaries’ business and our financial condition and results of operations.

Our PRC subsidiaries have limited insurance coverage for their operations in China, and our PRC subsidiaries are therefore exposed to risks associated with product liability claims against our PRC subsidiaries or otherwise against their operations in the PRC in the event that the use of our PRC subsidiaries’ products results in property damage or personal injury. Since our subsidiaries’ transmission products are ultimately incorporated into forklifts, it is possible that users of forklifts or people installing these products could be injured or killed, whether as a result of defects, improper installation or other causes. We are unable to predict whether product liability claims will be brought against our PRC subsidiaries in the future or to predict the impact of any resulting adverse publicity on our PRC subsidiaries’ business. The successful assertion of product liability claims against our PRC subsidiaries could result in potentially significant monetary damages and require us to make significant payments. Our subsidiaries do not carry product liability insurance and may not have adequate resources to satisfy a judgment in the event of a successful claim against us. In addition, our subsidiaries do not currently, and may not in the future, maintain business interruption insurance coverage. As such, our subsidiaries may suffer losses that result from interruptions in their operations as a result of inability to operate or failures of equipment and infrastructure at our subsidiaries’ facilities. Our subsidiaries also do not currently maintain catastrophe insurance. As such, any natural disaster or man-made disaster could result in substantial losses and diversion of our subsidiaries’ resources to address the effects of such an occurrence, which could materially and adversely affect our subsidiaries’ business and our financial condition and results of operations.

U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption as a result of the outbreak or escalation of wards including Russia’s launch of a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, conflicts between Israel and Hamas. Although the length and impact of these ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, these conflicts have led to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit, and capital markets. In addition, as a result of the ongoing conflicts around the world, we may experience other risks, difficulties and challenges in the way we conduct our business and operations generally. For example, the conflict could adversely affect supply chains and impact our ability to control raw material costs. A protracted conflict between Ukraine and Russia or between Israel and Hamas, any escalation of either conflict, and the wider global economy and market conditions could, in turn, have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations and could cause the market value of our ordinary shares to decline.

The global macroeconomic environment is facing challenges. There is considerable uncertainty over the long-term effects of the expansionary monetary and fiscal policies adopted by the central banks and financial authorities of some of the world’s leading economies, including the United States and China. There have been concerns over unrest and terrorist threats in the Middle East, Europe and Africa and over the conflicts involving Ukraine, Syria, Russia and North Korea. There have also been concerns on the relationship among China and other Asian countries, which may result in, or intensify potential conflicts in relation to, territorial disputes, and the trade disputes between China and other countries. It is unclear whether these challenges and uncertainties will be contained or resolved, and what effects they may have on the global political and economic conditions in the long term.

As a result, it may be difficult to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the PRC would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts because China does not have any treaties or other arrangements that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments with the United States. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in the PRC will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates basic principles of PRC law or national sovereignty, security, or the public interest.

If the PRC tax authorities determine that we are a “resident enterprise” for PRC enterprise income tax purposes, a number of unfavorable PRC tax consequences could follow. First, we may be subject to the enterprise income tax at a rate of 25% on our worldwide taxable income as well as PRC enterprise income tax reporting obligations. In our case, this would mean that income such as non-China source income would be subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 25%. Second, under the PRC EIT Law, dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries would be deemed as “qualified investment income between resident enterprises” and therefore qualify as “tax-exempt income” pursuant to the clause 26 of the PRC EIT Law. Finally, it is possible that future guidance issued with respect to the new “resident enterprise” classification could result in a situation in which the dividends we pay with respect to our ordinary shares, or the gain our non-PRC shareholders may realize from the transfer of our ordinary shares, may be treated as PRC-sourced income and may therefore be subject to a 10% PRC withholding tax. The PRC EIT Law is, however, relatively new and ambiguities exist with respect to the interpretation and identification of PRC-sourced income, and the application and assessment of withholding taxes. If we are required under the PRC EIT Law to withhold PRC income tax on dividends payable to our non-PRC shareholders, should there be a determination in the future to pay dividends, or if non-PRC shareholders are required to pay PRC income tax on gains on the transfer of their ordinary shares, our business could be negatively impacted and the value of your investment may be materially reduced. Further, if we were treated as a “resident enterprise” by PRC tax authorities, we would be subject to taxation in both China and such countries in which we have taxable income, and our PRC tax may not be creditable against such other taxes.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of the Renminbi into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. We receive a significant portion of our revenues in Renminbi.

Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval of SAFE, by complying with certain procedural requirements. Specifically, under the existing exchange restrictions, without prior approval of SAFE, cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiaries in China may be used to pay dividends to our Company. However, approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is required where Renminbi is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, we need to obtain SAFE approval to use cash generated from the operations of our PRC subsidiaries to pay off their respective debt in a currency other than Renminbi owed to entities outside China, or to make other capital expenditure payments outside China in a currency other than Renminbi. If such approval is withheld or the PRC government imposes other restrictions on the convertibility of Renminbi into foreign currencies, we may not be able to utilize our revenues effectively, and as a result, our business and results of operations may be materially adversely affected, and the value of our ordinary shares may decrease.

Securities analysts may not cover our Class A ordinary shares and this may have a negative impact on the market price of our Class A ordinary shares.
Previous wording
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.

Previous wording
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.

Previous wording
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.

Previous wording
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 be required 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 ordinary shares could be greatly reduced or rendered worthless.
