EXPLANATORY NOTE
This registration statement contains two prospectuses, as set forth below.
| · | Public Offering Prospectus. A prospectus to be used for the public offering (the “Public Offering Prospectus”) of up to [●] shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Tianci International, Inc. (the “Company”), with such shares to be sold in a firm commitment underwritten offering through the underwriter named on the cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus. |
| · | Resale Prospectus. A prospectus to be used for the resale by the selling stockholders (the “Selling Stockholders” set forth in the section of the resale prospectus (the “Resale Prospectus”) entitled “Selling Stockholders” of an aggregate of [●] shares of common stock. |
The Resale Prospectus is substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus, except for the following principal points:
| · | they contain different outside and inside front covers and back covers; |
| · | they contain different “Offering” sections in the “Prospectus Summary” section beginning on page 1; |
| · | they contain different “Use of Proceeds” sections on page 43; |
| · | the “Capitalization” and “Dilution” sections from the Public Offering Prospectus are deleted from the Resale Prospectus; |
| · | a “Selling Stockholders” section is included in the Resale Prospectus; |
| · | the “Underwriting” section from the Public Offering Prospectus is deleted from the Resale Prospectus and a “Selling Stockholder Plan of Distribution” is inserted in its place in the Resale Prospectus; and |
| · | the “Legal Matters” section in the Resale Prospectus on page R-18 deletes the reference to counsel for the underwriter. |
The Company has included in this registration statement a set of alternate pages after the back cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus (the “Alternate Pages”) to reflect the foregoing differences in the Resale Prospectus as compared to the Public Offering Prospectus. The Public Offering Prospectus will exclude the Alternate Pages and will be used for public offering by the Company. The Resale Prospectus will be substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus except for the addition or substitution of the Alternate Pages, and such other changes as may be necessary to clarify references to the public offering or the resale offering and will be used for the resale offering by the Selling Stockholders.

THE INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT COMPLETE AND MAY BE CHANGED. WE MAY NOT SELL THESE SECURITIES UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IS EFFECTIVE. THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL THESE SECURITIES AND IS NOT SOLICITING AN OFFER TO BUY THESE SECURITIES IN ANY STATE WHERE THE OFFER OR SALE IS NOT PERMITTED.
SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE 10, 2024
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
[●] shares of common stock
We are offering to sell [●] shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, in a firm commitment underwritten offering (the “Underwritten Offering”). We currently estimate that the public offering price will be between $[●] and $[●] per share.
Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “CIIT.” On [●], the last reported sale price for our common stock was $[●] per share.
We intend to apply to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CIIT”. No assurance can be given that our application will be approved or that the trading prices of our common stock on the OTC Pink Market will be indicative of the prices of our common stock if our common stock were traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If our application is not approved, the offering will not be completed. The offering (including both “Underwritten Offering” and “Resale Offering” as defined below) is contingent upon final approval of the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The offering price of our shares of common stock in the Underwritten Offering will be determined between the underwriter and us at the time of pricing, considering our historical performance and capital structure, prevailing market conditions, and overall assessment of our business, and may be at a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the recent market price of our common stock and the public offering price of the common stock used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the actual public offering price for the shares of common stock.
ii
INVESTING IN OUR COMMON STOCK IS SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW AND CONSIDER ALL THE INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED UNDER “RISK FACTORS” BEGINNING ON PAGE 17.
Tianci International, Inc. is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada with operations conducted by our subsidiary based in Hong Kong.**This is an offering of the common stock of the Nevada holding company, which does not conduct operations. You are not investing in Roshing International Co., Limited, the Hong Kong operating company, and may never hold equity in our Hong Kong operating subsidiary.**Our structure involves unique risks to investors. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong” Unless the context provides otherwise, references in this registration statement to “we,” “us,” “our company,” “our,” “the Company” and “Tianci” refers to Tianci International, Inc., “Tianci Seychelles” refers to Tianci Group Holding Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of Seychelles and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tianci, “RQS United” refers RQS United Group Limited, a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Seychelles and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tianci. “Roshing” refers to Roshing International Co., Limited, a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong. See “Commonly Used Defined Terms” on page vii herein. Investors would be purchasing interests in Tianci International, Inc., a Nevada company.
We have established controls and procedures for cash flows within our organization. Our management team manages and supervises the transfers of funds among Tianci and its subsidiaries under the Cash Flow Management Policy, an internal policy adopted by Tianci. Under this policy, Tianci focuses on revenue management, cost control, working capital management, implementing financial strategies, and fulfilling compliance reporting duties. Our management team closely monitors cash transfers within our organization and prepares monthly reports and annual budget plans. Each transfer of cash between Tianci, and its subsidiaries is also subject to internal reporting and approval processes by reference to such policy. In addition, cash transfers between Tianci, its subsidiaries, or investors shall follow the applicable Hong Kong laws and regulations. See also “Prospectus Summary—Cash Flows through Our Organization.”
We and our subsidiaries face various legal and operational risks and uncertainties associated with being based, or having all our operations, in Hong Kong. Our subsidiary, Roshing, is headquartered in Hong Kong with no operations in mainland China. Since only few of Roshing’s customers are mainland China residents, we and our subsidiaries should not become subject to certain laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”) and related regulations as they continue to evolve, and we and our subsidiaries will not face uncertainties as to whether and how the recent PRC government statements and regulatory developments, such as those relating to data and cyberspace security, and anti-monopoly concerns, would not apply to us and our subsidiaries.
We are aware that PRC government may intervene or influence the Hong Kong operations of an offshore holding company, such as those of our subsidiaries, at any time. These risks, together with uncertainties in the legal system of Mainland China and the interpretation and enforcement of PRC laws, regulations, and policies, could hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer the common stock, result in a material adverse change to Roshing’s business operations, and damage our reputation, which could cause the common stock to significantly decline in value or become worthless. For a detailed description of risks relating to the potential impact of PRC laws and regulations on Roshing’s business operations,see “Risk Factors — All our operations are in Hong Kong. However, due to the long arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, the Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock.”
If we decide to pay dividends on any of our common stock in the future, as a holding company, we will be dependent on receipt of funds from our subsidiaries. Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by our Hong Kong subsidiary. There are no restrictions or limitation under the laws of Hong Kong imposed on the conversion of HKD into foreign currencies and the remittance of currencies out of Hong Kong. See “Risk Factors - RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN HONG KONG -We will rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Hong Kong subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have. In the future, the PRC government may impose restrictions on our ability to transfer funds out of Hong Kong to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiary to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business and might materially decrease the value of our common stock.” On page 11 of this prospectus for more information.

On December 16, 2021, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) issued a report on its determinations that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and in Hong Kong because of positions taken by PRC and Hong Kong authorities in those jurisdictions. The PCAOB has made such designations as mandated under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCA Act. Our auditor, Michael T. Studer CPA P.C., headquartered in Freeport, New York, has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, and it is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. If the PCAOB determines in the future that it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time, trading in our common stock would be prohibited under the HFCA Act. On August 26, 2022, the SEC issued a statement announcing that the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol (“SOP”) with the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or CSRC, and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China governing inspections and investigations of audit firms based in Mainland China and Hong Kong, jointly agreeing on the need for a framework. On December 15, 2022, the PCAOB announced that it has secured complete access to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in Mainland China and Hong Kong and voted to vacate the previous Determination Report to the contrary. On December 29, 2022, the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was enacted, which amended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuer’s securities from trading on any U.S. stock exchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOB inspections for two consecutive years instead of three, thus reducing the time before our securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted. The PCAOB is continuing to demand complete access in Mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is already making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023 and beyond, as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate new investigations as needed. The PCAOB has indicated that it will act immediately to consider the need to issue new determinations with the HFCA Act if needed. If the PCAOB in the future again determines that it is unable to inspect and investigate completely auditors in Mainland China and Hong Kong, then the companies audited by those auditors would be subject to a trading prohibition on U.S. markets pursuant to the HFCA Act and/or the AHFCAA. These recent developments could also add uncertainties to this Underwritten Offering and we cannot assure you that the NASDAQ Capital Market or regulatory authorities would not apply additional or more stringent criteria to us after considering the effectiveness of our auditor’s audit procedures and quality control procedures, adequacy of personnel and training, or sufficiency of resources, geographic reach or experience as it relates to the audit of our financial statements. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong—Recent joint statement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), or the PCAOB, proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq, and the newly enacted 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 the trading of our common stock on U.S. stock exchanges, including the possibility that our securities can be delisted if the PCAOB cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor.”
For a detailed description of risks related to doing business in Hong Kong, see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”
Following the completion of this Underwritten Offering, our largest stockholder will beneficially own approximately [●]% of the aggregate voting power of our outstanding common stock. As such, we will be deemed a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards. However, we do not intend to avail ourselves of the corporate governance exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq listing standards.

|---|---|---|
| Public offering price | $– | $– |
| Underwriting discounts and commissions(1) | $– | $– |
| Proceeds to us before expenses | $– | $– |
| (1) | We have agreed to pay the underwriter a discount equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Underwritten Offering, which does not include a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Underwritten Offering payable to Prime Number Capital, LLC, or the underwriter. We have also agreed to issue, on the closing date of the Underwritten Offering, warrants, to the underwriter, in an amount equal to 5.0% of the aggregate number of shares sold by us in the Underwritten Offering, including any shares issued pursuant to exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option. For a description of the compensation to be received by the underwriter, see “Underwriting” on page 98. |
iv
This Underwritten Offering is being conducted on a firm commitment basis. The underwriter is obligated to take and pay for all of the shares of common stock if any such shares of common stock are taken. We have granted the underwriter an option for a period of 45 days after the closing of the Underwritten Offering to purchase up to [●] shares of common stock, or 15% of the total shares of common stock to be offered by us pursuant to the Underwritten Offering (excluding common stock subject to this option), solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts. If the underwriter exercises the option in full, and assuming an offering price of US$[●] per share of common stock, which is the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the total gross proceeds to us, before underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses, will be $[●].
The underwriter expects to deliver the common stock against payment as set forth under “Underwriting,” on or about [●], 2024 through the book-entry facilities of The Depository Trust Company.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securitiesor passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
