Item 1. Business

Overview

We are a provider of event planning, production, and broadcasting services headquartered in Pennsylvania. We mainly produce virtual and hybrid events and physical events. Virtual and hybrid events involve virtual and hybrid event planning, production and broadcasting services, and continuing education services, all of which are supported by our proprietary Xyvid Pro Platform. Physical events were added to our revenue streams, due to our corporate restructuring completed in fiscal year 2023, and mainly involve live streaming and video recording of physical events.

As of the date of this annual report, we primarily generate revenue from virtual and hybrid events delivered to corporate customers. We experienced decreases in our total revenue and net income in the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly due to loss of a few events that did not repeat in 2024. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had total revenue of approximately $3.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and net loss of approximately $3.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the revenue generated from virtual and hybrid events was approximately $3.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 91.9% and 94.8% of our total revenue, respectively; and the revenue generated from physical events was approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 8.1% and 5.2% of our total revenue, respectively.

Our mission is to deliver top-tier planning, production, and broadcasting services for virtual, hybrid and physical events. Our goal is to become a global leader in innovative virtual events that enhance engagement and connectivity, making impactful and memorable experiences accessible to all.

Our Industry

We mainly compete in the webcasting industry. We believe the barriers to entry into the domestic and global webcasting industry are high, include, among others, technological, talent, financial and regulatory and localization barriers. The technological barrier must be overcome, because new entrants need to make substantial upfront financial investment to develop a web-streaming platform that satisfies customers’ expectations and is comparable to our platform. Such a web-streaming platform is expected to enable engagement of event attendees, provide positive attendee experience, and feature technological interoperability, scalability, and reliability. We estimate that it would require a capital investment ranging from approximately $5.0 million to $7.0 million and we estimate that it would take a minimum of five years to complete the development of a platform that is comparable to ours. To address the talent barrier, new entrants need to engage talents with expertise for live event planning, webcasting production, software development, and other relevant positions. In addition to the financial hurdles intrinsic to the technological barrier, the financial barrier requires significant financial resources to conduct continuous research and development to build, maintain, and upgrade the technology and infrastructure required for the provision of webcasting services. Lastly, the regulatory and localization barriers may be prohibitive for new entrants, as they may need to satisfy various regulatory requirements when they endeavor to enter into this industry and provide localized services when they penetrate a new market area, especially when such new entrants aim to operate across global regions.

We believe the domestic and global webcasting industry is highly competitive. Such competitive factors include technology, product quality, price level, brand recognition, and customer support. We face competition from many large and small companies, which include, but are not limited to, Zoom, ON24, GlobalMeet, Cvent, Bizzabo, and Meeting Tomorrow. Existing and new market entrants, particularly established companies with greater resources than we have, that provide technologies to improve communication and engagement technologies or platforms, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, could also increase the level of competition in the market.

Virtual and hybrid events allow for greater flexibility and wider reach than traditional in-person events, and may, therefore, be seen as more environmentally sustainable and cost-effective compared to traditional in-person events, and we believe they have become more accepted and widely adopted in the post-COVID-19 era. While it is difficult to ascertain how demand will evolve, we expect that future webcasting services will shift towards (i) enhanced event attendee interactivity, engagement and networking opportunities; (ii) integration of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and augmented reality technologies; (iii) adoption of advanced data analytics to measure event success, understand attendee behavior, and improve future events; (iv) accessibility to global audiences without geographical limitations; and (v) greater customization and flexibility of webcasting solutions.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe the following competitive advantages are essential for our success and differentiate us from our competitors.

Proprietary Webcasting and Event Management Platform

Our ability to deliver quality event planning, production, and broadcasting services depends on our proprietary webcasting and event management platform, namely, our Xyvid Pro Platform. Our platform possesses the following features: (i) professional audio-visual production, broadcast and presentation; (ii) customizable event designs that include, but are not limited to, a tailor-made attendee registration system, email communications, and a web panel for virtual events; (iii) an interoperable platform that is able to integrate and deliver event content to various devices, including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, because Xyvid Pro Platform is a web-based application that does not require a software download and is accessible through any modern browser such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox, or Brave; (iv) scalable infrastructure that supports events of various sizes, from a few attendees to tens of thousands of global audiences, assisted by captioning and transcription services for 109 different languages; and (v) event attendee interactivity and engagement tools that are designed to keep attendees engaged through polling, surveys, integration of social media feeds, and other engagement tools. For further details on our platform, see “—Our Services—Virtual and Hybrid Events.” In addition to these features, our Company is committed to continuously improving our platform’s capabilities and meeting evolving customer needs, by conducting research and development. For our research and development efforts, see “—Research and Development.”

Event Production Experience and Expertise

We started operating our business in May 2011 and have accumulated over a decade of event planning, production, and broadcasting experience. Our virtual and hybrid events include a wide range of events, including conferences, marketing events, product launches, trainings, investor and shareholder meetings. Our virtual and hybrid events also include continuing education in the form of live or asynchronous learning, and we will track learners’ qualifications, and generate certificates for learners when the stipulated requirements are met. Our physical events involve live-streaming and video recording of physical events, video editing and production, and a custom on-demand video library for finished video content to be viewed and downloaded. Our Company has the experience and expertise to deliver a broad spectrum of events, as well as networking, communication and learning experiences customizable to each customer’s needs.

Dedicated Customer Service

Our Company selects and assigns a dedicated team to each customer to provide professional guidance and support throughout the provision of our services. We carefully assess each customer’s needs and offer varying levels of guidance and support tailored to our customers’ capabilities and expertise on event production, from sharing insights in training sessions to fully managing customers’ events. We provide troubleshooting and technical support to both our customers and attendees during the events. Due to our dedication to providing quality service and supporting our customers, we believe that we have cultivated a loyal customer base. For the year ended December 31, 2024, nine of our top ten customers, in terms of revenue, were repeat customers.

Experienced Management Team

Our management team has extensive industry and management experience, which reaches approximately 17 years on average for each member. The management team has accumulated comprehensive knowledge in business management, sales, marketing, accounting and finance, and various other matters.

Our Services

We generate revenue from the provision of virtual and hybrid events and physical events. Virtual and hybrid events involve virtual and hybrid event planning, production and broadcasting services, and continuing education services, all of which are supported by our proprietary Xyvid Pro Platform. Physical events mainly involve live streaming and video recording of physical events. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, most of our revenue was generated from virtual and hybrid events. Our virtual and hybrid events and physical events include a variety of event types, collectively, including on-site studio broadcasts, hybrid events from in-person locations, fully virtual webcam-based events, simulated live events (pre-recorded content played back at a scheduled time), and asynchronous video-on-demand events.

Virtual and Hybrid Events

Our virtual and hybrid events include various event purposes, such as conferences, marketing events, product launches, training, and investor and shareholder meetings. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we supported approximately 275 events that collectively attracted approximately 800,000 attendees.

Our virtual and hybrid events are enabled by our proprietary Xyvid Pro Platform, which is an internet-based broadcast platform with interactive engagement tools designed to provide web broadcast audiences with a dynamic, interactive, and engaging virtual event experience. Our Xyvid Pro Platform has the following features: (i) professional audio-visual production, broadcast and presentation; (ii) customizable event designs, that include, but are not limited to, a tailor-made attendee registration system, email communications, web panel for virtual events, event material editing and rendering, as well as virtual meeting room creation and design; (iii) an interoperable platform that is able to integrate and deliver event content to various devices, including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, because Xyvid Pro Platform is a web-based application that does not require a software download and is accessible through any modern browser such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox, or Brave; (iv) scalable infrastructure that supports events of various sizes from a few attendees to tens of thousands of global audiences, assisted by multi-language captioning and transcription services; (v) event attendee interactivity and engagement tools that are designed to keep attendees engaged through polling, surveys, integration of social media feeds, audience topic response solicitations throughout the presentation, and other engagement tools; and (vi) a technical support function.

Images of examples of our virtual and hybrid event portals

Our virtual and hybrid events can be tailored to satisfy each customer’s requirements based on their capabilities and levels of expertise. We can serve customers with high levels of experience and in-house production capabilities by sharing our insights on event management, providing tools and resources to enhance customers’ existing event production processes, and offering other related services as needed. We can also serve customers with limited experience with virtual and hybrid events by providing full-range services on event planning, event design, event content creation, event management, technical support, and post-event reporting.

Our virtual and hybrid events also include continuing education services for customers, especially companies in professionally licensed industries. Our continuing education services enable live and asynchronous learning, tracking learners’ qualifications, and can implement specific criteria measured to ascertain passage or failure, learners’ watch-time, live polling data and scoring, and generate certificates for learners when the stipulated requirements are met.

We charge service fees for providing our virtual and hybrid events. Our fees are primarily determined based on event duration, event complexity, event time, anticipated number of attendees, and customization requirements. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the revenue generated from virtual and hybrid events was approximately $3.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 91.9% and 94.8% of our total revenue, respectively.

Physical Events

During the fiscal year of 2023, our corporate restructuring resulted in the addition of physical events to our revenue streams. For details on our corporate restructuring, please see “—Corporate History and Structure.” Our physical events include live streaming and video recording of physical events, video editing and production, and a custom on-demand video library for finished video content to be viewed and downloaded.

We charge service fees for providing our physical events. Our fees are primarily determined based on event duration, event time, anticipated number of on-site technicians, and customization requirements. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the revenue generated from physical events was approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, accounting for approximately 8.1% and 5.2% of our total revenue, respectively.

Our Customers

Our customers represent a diverse range of industries, mainly including technology firms, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, marketing and advertising agencies, as well as nonprofits and associations. Our customers are of various sizes, including early-stage companies looking to establish their brand and reach a broader audience through virtual and hybrid events, small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to expand their market presence and engage with stakeholders through cost-effective event solutions, large enterprises often requiring complex, large-scale event solutions to connect with global audiences, and multinational corporations that require scalable and robust event solutions to manage multiple events across different regions.

Our arrangements with our customers generally include the following three types: (i) a master service agreement supplemented by purchase orders for specific events; (ii) an event bundle contract where a customer prepays for a certain number of events to be delivered; and (iii) engagement on an event-by-event basis. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had approximately 33 and 46 customers, respectively, among which, one customer independently accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue, accounting for approximately 64.6% and 51.1% of our total revenue, respectively. Such largest customer is not our related party.

According to the master service agreement that we entered into with our largest customer on August 7, 2018, we will make our services available to the customer and both parties will enter into purchase orders or statements of work of specific projects or events, which will specify the term start date and end date, fees, any configuration, training and other services to be provided by the Company. Upon execution by both parties, each purchase order or statement of work will form a part of the master service agreement. Either party may propose changes to a statement of work and such proposed changes will not bind either party unless and until they have been agreed upon in writing. The customer has the right to terminate the agreement for its convenience upon thirty days’ prior written notice, and we may terminate the agreement upon thirty days’ prior written notice if the parties are unable to resolve disputes relating to non-payment by the customer. Although the master service agreement contains “software-as-a-service” (SaaS) in the heading, the services outlined in the purchase orders and actually provided by the Company do not include any SaaS offerings.

We seek to sustain customer relationships through offering personalized solutions tailored to specific customer needs, providing timely customer support, enhancing customer experience, offering competitive pricing, and maintaining regular and effective communications with customers. We believe that we have cultivated a loyal customer base. For the year ended December 31, 2024, nine of our top ten customers, in terms of our revenue, were repeat customers.

Our Suppliers

Our major suppliers include cloud service providers, audio-visual equipment manufacturers, and software vendors. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2024, we engaged third-party service providers to facilitate accreditation in our continuing education services, provide studio equipment and host hybrid events, and we engaged independent subcontractors to attend live in-person events and facilitate the production and recording process for approximately 25 physical events.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, one supplier independently accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for approximately 17.9% of our total purchases. Such largest supplier is a cloud hosting Platform as a Service that is essential for our platform’s accessibility. For the year ended December 31, 2023, one supplier independently accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for approximately 27.2% of our total purchases. Such largest supplier is a cloud hosting Platform as a Service that is essential for our platform’s accessibility. Other than our largest suppliers that accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases, we do not rely heavily on any of the remaining suppliers to provide core services to our customers, and, in the event that we lose any of those suppliers, we believe that we will be able to find a replacement of appropriate service capacity at reasonable costs, due to the low concentration and high competitiveness of the services provided by those suppliers.

Sales and Marketing

We promote our business and engage with potential customers through various offline and online channels. The main offline channels for us to identify and obtain business opportunities include participation in industry conferences, trade shows, and networking events, such as Event Tech Live, Streaming Media East, NIRI Annual Conference, as well as referrals from customers. The main online channels include social media marketing on platforms, such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, online content publications, such as blogs and case studies, targeted email marketing, online advertising campaigns, and corporate website customization for search engines.

Our sales strategies focus on leveraging multiple sales channels and personalized approaches to attract and retain customers. Our sales strategies are determined by the sales management team in collaboration with the executive leadership team. This collaborative approach is designed to ensure that the sales strategies align with overall business goals, market trends, and customer needs. To design our sales strategies, the sales management team conducts market analysis, gathers customer feedback, and monitors industry developments to inform their decisions. The sales strategies are reviewed and approved by the executive leadership team to ensure consistency with our long-term objectives and growth plans. Our sales strategies are reviewed and adjusted on a regular basis in accordance with market changes, customer feedback, industry trends, and evolving business goals.

We offer a variety of promotional programs to attract and retain customers. These programs include discounts for first-time customers, volume-based discounts for long-term or high-volume contracts, rebates on multi-year agreements, special promotions during industry events and seasonal campaigns, as well as referral incentives for customers who bring in new customers. These promotional programs are designed to provide value and flexibility to our customers, enhancing their overall experience with our Company.

Growth Strategies

We plan to further develop our business through the following growth strategies.

Increasing Business Growth Efforts

We plan to promote our future business growth by strengthening customer relationships, improving customer loyalty, and increasing our marketing and sales efforts with additional investment in digital marketing and sales team expansion. Within the next three years, we expect to use approximately 20% of the net proceeds we received from our initial public offering (“IPO”) (approximately $2 million for marketing and sales efforts.

Enhancing Technology and Innovation

We expect to continuously enhance our Xyvid Pro Platform with improved features. For example, we plan to improve our platform by the following measures: (i) developing new interactive features to increase event attendee engagement, such as adding networking tools and gaming functions, which features are expected to become available in the second quarter of 2025; (ii) incorporating advanced data analytics tools to provide real-time insights and comprehensive reporting on event performance and attendee behavior, which tools are expected to become available in the third quarter of 2025; (iii) enhancing the scalability and flexibility of our platform, which enhancements are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025; and (iv) enhancing the multilingual support function, which enhancements are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025. We also plan to incorporate more emerging technologies to enhance our platform. For example, artificial intelligence empowers the multi-language captioning and transcription of our Xyvid Pro Platform, and we plan to implement additional features driven by artificial intelligence in the future, such as introducing a new iteration of our polling engagement tool, designed to leverage the power of generative artificial intelligence by suggesting polling questions based on the content of the uploaded PowerPoint presentation. Such feature is expected to significantly enhance the polling experience for both presenters and attendees and the initial AI-driven enhancements are expected to be available in the second quarter of 2025.

In addition, our business model is predominantly service based as of the date of this annual report. We plan to integrate a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) model over the next few years. This strategy will involve offering our platform as a subscription-based service, enabling customers to leverage our technology independently. We believe this shift will allow us to cater to a broader range of customers and drive recurring revenue streams. As of the date of this annual report, we are in the development phase of our PaaS offering.

Diversifying Service Offerings

We mainly produce virtual and hybrid events and physical events. We plan to diversify our service offerings by introducing additional services, such as a self-service webcasting platform for technically proficient customers to manage their own events on a subscription basis. As of the date of this annual report, we are in the ideation phase and anticipate employing additional staff for new service offerings.

Making Strategic Investments and Acquisitions

We plan to identify, invest in, partner with, and acquire appropriate businesses that offer complementary advantages to our business, thereby improving overall competitiveness and sustaining growth. As of the date of this annual report, we have not identified, nor have we engaged in any material discussions regarding, any potential target subject to such acquisitions or investments.

Research and Development

We are committed to continuously improving our platform’s capabilities, expanding our service offerings to customers, and meeting evolving customer needs, by conducting research and development. Our research and development projects typically span six to 18 months, depending on their complexity and scope. We incurred $128,891.19 and $105,885.55 in research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We conduct all research and development activities in-house, ensuring alignment with our strategic goals and maintaining control over the innovation process, and have approximately eight research and development specialists, as of the date of this annual report.

Our research and development efforts are guided by the stages of product development and the software development life cycle. The product team within the development department leads the early stages of ideation and planning, to ensure that our research and development projects are aligned with business objectives and customer requirements and are properly detailed with product requirements. The product team then presents the research and development proposals to our management team for approval. Upon approval, the projects move into the development stage, where the development staff takes over the technical requirements and development efforts. Once development is complete, the projects undergo qualification with the quality assurance team within the development department, which process includes initial technical testing and user acceptance testing. The product team then conducts further user acceptance testing to validate the products against the following three key criteria, to determine whether: (i) the products meet customer needs, (ii) the messaging and pricing is aligned to communicate value, and (iii) the Company is prepared to sell, deliver, manage, and support the products. Following successful validation, we will prepare to launch the products onto the market.

Our research and development efforts are focused on integrating emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, developing features that offer superior attendee experiences, enhancing attendee engagement, and providing robust data analytics. Our research and development efforts are undertaken to deliver long-term benefits, such as enhancing our competitive edge, and ensuring our long-term growth and sustainability.

Intellectual Property

As of the date of this annual report, we have registered the following intellectual properties: ten domain names, including tenevents.com, theeventsnetwork.com, theeventsnetworks.com, tenholdingsinc.com, teneventsproductions.com, tenevents.link, tenevents.net, tenevents.org, tenevents.co, and teneventsmarketing.com. In addition, as of the date of this annual report, we have received Notices of Allowance for two trademarks, TEN Holdings and TEN Events. We plan to submit the Statements of Use for these two trademarks on or before August 25, 2025.

We seek to protect our intellectual property rights by relying on intellectual property laws and on contractual measures. It is our general practice to enter into confidentiality agreements with our customers, in order to protect our intellectual property rights and limit access to our confidential and proprietary information. In addition to these contractual measures, we also rely on a combination of our registered domain names and other intellectual property that we may acquire to protect our brand and our intellectual property.

Employees

We strive to attract, recruit, and retain talents through our compensation and benefit programs, learning and development opportunities that support career advancement.

We believe the attraction, development and retention of skilled professionals contribute to our long-term success. To attract talent, we endeavor to offer competitive compensation package. In addition to cash compensation, we offer complementary benefits, including performance-based bonuses, medical, dental and vision benefits plans, and 401k retirement plans. We focus on several key criteria when selecting team members, including (i) relevant experience in platform development, particularly in the events webcast or related industries, (ii) technical skills in software development, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity, (iii) alignment with our values, mission, and collaborative work culture, and so on. We prioritize employee development and continuous learning through training programs, guided career progression paths, and mentorship. For employee retention, we focus on employee engagement with team-building activities, flexible work options, and an inclusive corporate culture.

Our subsidiary, TEN Events, Inc., enters into employment agreements with each of the employees. There is no collective bargaining agreement that covers our employees. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we did not experience any interruptions of operations or work stoppages due to labor disagreements or disputes. We strive to maintain positive labor relations through open communication and proactive conflict resolution measures.

As of December 31, 2024, we had a headcount of 38 full-time employees. The tables below present the number of our employees by type, function, and location for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Material Contracts

Within the preceding two years from the date of this annual report, we have not entered into any material contracts, other than those contracts entered into for providing services to our customers in the ordinary course of our business, or as discussed elsewhere in this annual report.

Insurance

We maintain certain insurance policies to safeguard against risks and unexpected events. For example, we have liability insurance that covers the risks against cybersecurity claims, commercial general liability, automobile liability and umbrella coverage, each insurance coverage category subject to limitations as provided by the insurance policies. We believe our current insurance coverage is adequate for our business requirements and is consistent with customary industry practice. We renegotiate and renew our insurance contracts annually. We do not anticipate any difficulty in renewing contracts we currently maintain on the same terms. We have purchased the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we did not make any material insurance claims in relation to our business.

Seasonality

Our business is generally subject to seasonal fluctuations. We usually generate more revenue in the last month of each calendar quarter. We believe that such seasonality is mainly because larger corporations tend to organize their major internal gatherings or communications toward the end of calendar quarters, when their operating results may then be available for broader discussion.

Regulations

Streaming and Video Services Laws and Regulations

We operate in the highly regulated livestreaming and video services industry. A number of U.S. federal, state, and international laws and regulations affect our business. The regulatory bodies that regulate our business include the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. patent and trademark office, state consumer protection agencies, and international regulatory bodies. We may be subject to compliance audits by certain of these authorities.

The livestreaming aspect of our business is subject to the U.S. regulations on vulnerable population protections, such as the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”). Under these regulations, we are required to provide “auxiliary aids” to individuals with disabilities, which may include captions and audio descriptions. We currently provide captions and subtitles during our streaming process upon clients’ request and believe that we fully comply with the ADA. We do not have control over the content being streamed, however, as the events streamed are made available on-demand by our clients. We cannot provide any assurance that our business will not violate streaming content-related regulations in the future. Such violations, were they to occur, could lead to third-party claims and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, our livestream business is subject to the Protecting Lawful Streaming Act of 2020. We may face criminal penalties if we willfully, and for commercial advantage or private financial gain, illegally stream copyrighted material.

Information Security and Intellectual Property Regulations

There are numerous federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations regarding intellectual property, privacy, data protection, information security, and the storing, collecting, sharing, using, processing, transferring, disclosing, and protecting of personal information and other content. The scope of these regulations is changing, subject to differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent among countries or conflict with other rules.

For instance, in the U.S., the Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction to investigate and enforce our compliance with certain U.S. regulations, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which regulates the collection and use of personal information from children under the age of 13. The Electric Communications Privacy Act governs our electronic communications, mandating the protection and privacy of such data. California has enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”), which affords consumers expanded privacy protections. The CCPA, which went into effect on January 1, 2020 and was recently amended, may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and we may incur substantial costs and expenses in an effort to comply. The CCPA gives California residents expanded rights to access and require deletion of their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing, and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used. It also provides for civil penalties for violations and a private right of action for data breaches that may increase data breach litigation.

When we engage with non-U.S. users, we are subject to international information security regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) in the European Union (“EU”), which went into effect in May 2018. The GDPR imposes stringent data protection requirements and provides greater penalties for noncompliance than previous data protection laws, including potential penalties of up to €20 million or 4% of the violator’s annual global revenue. Following Brexit, although the United Kingdom enacted its Data Protection Act in May 2018 to align with the GDPR, there remains uncertainty regarding how data transfers to and from the United Kingdom will be regulated. In Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act may apply to us if we engage with local users.

We strive to comply with the applicable U.S. laws, regulations, policies, and other legal obligations relating to information security to the extent possible. We plan to adhere to international laws, regulations, policies, and other legal obligations related to information security when and if we expand our operations outside the U.S. As of the date of this annual report, we have implemented internal policies, including an information security policy and a privacy policy, to comply with the information security regulations that we believe are applicable to us. Our information security policy sets out our measures for network security, such as dual authentication, network vulnerability scanning, spam filtering tools, web filtering, access control, and incident response. This policy also establishes an extended incident response team and a core incident response team. Our information security policy is periodically reviewed and updated by our internal technical personnel. Our privacy policy regulates the information we collect (for instance, name, address, email address, phone number) and how we may use it. According to our privacy policy, we will not sell or otherwise disclose personal information of our webcast visitors. However, we may share information provided by our visitors with the clients hosting the webcast event and service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf. See “Item 1. Business.” Under such circumstances, these service providers are contractually restricted from using or disclosing information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. Additionally, we may disclose information about our clients (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity. Our privacy policy also specifies that we will not collect information from minors who are under 13. We periodically evaluate and update our privacy policy.

The regulatory framework for information security worldwide is, and is likely to remain, uncertain for the foreseeable future, and it is possible that these or other actual or alleged obligations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. We expect that new laws, regulations, and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection, and information security will continue to be proposed and enacted in various jurisdictions. The accompanying new or even burdensome obligations, coupled with substantial uncertainty in the interpretation and application of the regulations, may pose challenges for us in meeting legal requirements across different jurisdictions. This may require us to change our policies and practices and modify our protective measures to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures or to make required notifications and we may incur significant costs and expenses to comply. Additionally, any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with the existing or future enacted regulations, information security-related obligations to users or other third-parties, or any of our other legal obligations relating to information security may result in governmental investigations or enforcement actions, litigation, claims, or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others, potentially resulting in significant liability or causing our users to lose trust in us, which could adversely affect our reputation and business.

We are also subject to various U.S. and international regulations on copyrights and intellectual properties. For instance, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) regulates the distribution and storage of digital content to protect intellectual property rights. As we offer a library for downloading videos, we are required adhere to the provisions of the DMCA. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), we need to implement measures to handle take-down notices in the event of alleged copyright infringement. This may involve designating an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement, and promptly removing or disabling access to the infringing content upon receipt of a valid take-down notice.
