16、 public offering of Harden Technologies Inc.We expect theinitial public offering price will be between$5.00 to$7.00 per ordinary share.Nopublic market currently exists for our ordinary shares.We have applied for approvalof the listing our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market and have reserve

19、ing an Emerging Growth Company”and“RiskFactors We are an emerging growth company,and we cannot be certainif choosing to elect the reduced reporting requirements applicable toemerging growth companies will make our ordinary shares less attractive toinvestors.”Investing in our ordinary shares involves

20、 significant risks.See“RiskFactors”beginning on page 21 of this prospectus for a discussion ofinformation that should be considered before making a decision to purchaseour ordinary shares.We are a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.As a holdingcompany with no material operati

22、 in our subsidiaries in the PRC.As all our operations are conducted in China through our subsidiaries,theChinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conductof our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time.Suchgovernmental actions:could re

24、over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreigninvestments in China based issuers.Any future action by the Chinese governmentexpanding the categories of industries and companies whose foreign securitiesofferings are subject to government review could significantly limit or completelyhinder

33、he SEC and the PCAOB recently.OnDecember 2,2021,the SEC issued amendments to finalize rules implementing thesubmission and disclosure requirements in the HFCA Act,which became effective onJanuary 10,2022.The rules apply to registrants that the SEC identifies as havingfiled an annual report with an a

34、udit report issued by a registered public accountingfirm that is located in a foreign jurisdiction and that the PCAOB is unable toinspect or investigate completely because of a position taken by an authority inforeign jurisdictions.For example,on December 16,2021,the PCAOB issued a reporton its dete

35、rminations 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 authorities in those jurisdictions.On December 15,2022,however,the PCAOB vacated its previous 2021 determinati

36、ons that the PCAOB wasunable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firmsheadquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong.As of the date of the prospectus,theCompanys auditor,Friedman LLP,headquartered in New York,New York,with nobranches or offices outside the United States,

37、has been inspected by the PCAOB on aregular basis,with the last inspection in August 2020.As a result,we do not expectto be identified as a“Commission Identified Issuer”under the HFCA as of thedate of this prospectus.Friedman LLP was merged with Marcum LLP on September 1,2022and filed its applicatio

38、n to withdraw the PCAOB registration on December 30,2022.However,whether the PCAOB will continue to be able to satisfactorily conductinspections of PCAOB-registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainlandChina and Hong Kong is subject to uncertainties and depends on a number of factorsout

39、of our and our auditors control.The PCAOB continues to demand complete accessin mainland China and Hong Kong moving forward and is making plans to resume regularinspections in early 2023 and beyond,as well as to continue pursuing ongoinginvestigations and initiate new investigations as needed.While

40、our auditor is basedin the U.S.and is registered with PCAOB and subject to PCAOB inspection,in theevent it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigatecompletely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in a foreignjurisdiction,then such inability could cause

41、 trading in our securities to beprohibited under the HFCA Act and the AHFCA Act,and ultimately result in adetermination by a securities exchange to delist our securities.If trading in ourordinary shares is prohibited under the HFCA Act and the AHFCA Act in the futurebecause the PCAOB determines that

42、 it cannot inspect or fully investigate our auditorat such future time,Nasdaq may determine to delist our ordinary shares,which maycause the value of our securities to decline or become worthless.See.“RiskFactors Our ordinary shares may be prohibited from being trading on and wouldrequire delisting

43、from a national exchange under the HFCA Act and the AHFCA Act ifthe PCAOB is unable to inspect our auditors for two consecutive years beginning in2021.The delisting of our ordinary shares,or the threat of their being delisted,may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.”Cash div

82、market size was estimated at$852 million in2019 and is anticipated to reach$1.3 billion by 2027,expanding at a compoundannual growth rate(“CAGR”)of 5.8%.The Asia Pacific regions market is forecastto exceed$450 million by 2025,with China as a major revenue earner.We expect growing awareness pertainin

83、g to the economic and environmentalbenefits of recycled processed materials to significantly impact our market.Inaddition,we expect growing concerns over the increasing carbon footprint alongwith rising government efforts in numerous countries in order to promote recyclingof material to create signi

84、ficant opportunities for manufacturers.Industrialrecycling equipment plays a significant role in this process.Scrap materialsincluding discarded electrical and electronic goods,automobile parts,paper,andconstruction materials are collected from numerous sources for further processing.Industrial recy

85、cling equipment,including baler presses,granulators,shredders,and shears are then used to reduce the shape and size of the waste materials,whichare further used for recycling.Due to the increasing awareness towards the sustainable advantages and benefitsof reusing and recycling waste materials,we be

86、lieve the end-use utilization ofrecycled materials will further benefit the industry.We anticipate that recycledmaterial such as steel,iron,plastic,rubber,and concrete in the industriesincluding automotive,electrical and electronics,building and construction,andpackaging will drive the market.Our Pr

87、oductsWe manufacture industrial shredders and waste sorting equipment for wastemanagement and material recycling industries.We create equipment for customersaccording to their requirements depending upon applications and needs.Samples of our industrial recycling equipment include the following:Singl

88、e Shaft Shredders Single shaft shredders are often referred to asgrinders and efficiently shred large quantities of materials unattended.Dual Shaft Shredders Dual shaft industrial shredders have oppositerotating rotors that pull the material between the two rotors.In a dual-shaftshredder,the cutters

89、 or knives cut the material when it passes over the cutter andthe opposing counter-knife.Quad Shaft Shredders Quad shaft shredders can shred a wide-range ofmaterials and produce a consistent small material.Quad shaft shredders are able toshred and recirculate material within the machine until it is

139、r.Shredder.Implications of Being an Emerging Growth CompanyAs a company with less than$1.07 billion in revenue during our last fiscalyear,we qualify as an“emerging growth company”as defined in the Jobs Act,andwe are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reportingrequirements

140、that are applicable to other public companies that are not“emerginggrowth companies,”including but not limited to,being permitted to present onlytwo years of audited financial statements and only two years of relatedManagements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ofOperations

141、in our filings with the SEC,not being required to comply with theauditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,reduceddisclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports andproxy statements,and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-

142、bindingadvisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any goldenparachute payments not previously approved.We have not decided whether to takeadvantage of any or all of these exemptions.If we do take advantage of any ofthese exemptions,we do not know if some investors will find

143、our ordinary sharesless attractive as a result.The result may be a less active trading market for ourordinary shares and the price of our ordinary shares may be more volatile.In addition,Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an“emerginggrowth company”can take advantage of the extended trans

144、ition period provided inSection 7(a)(2)(B)of the Securities Act of 1933,as amended(the“SecuritiesAct”),for complying with new or revised accounting standards.In other words,an“emerging growth company”can delay the adoption of certain accounting standardsuntil those standards would otherwise apply to

145、 private companies.However,we arechoosing to“opt out”of such extended transition period,and as a result,we willcomply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on whichadoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies.Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides t

146、hat our decision to opt out of the extendedtransition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards isirrevocable.We will remain an“emerging growth company”until the earliest of(i)thelast day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed US$1.07billion,(ii)the la

147、st day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary ofthe completion of this offering;(iii)the date that we become a“largeaccelerated filer”as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act,which wouldoccur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliatesexceeds$700 mill

148、ion as of the last business day of our most recently completedsecond fiscal quarter,or(iv)the date on which we have issued more than$1billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.Implications of the HFCA ActOur ordinary shares may be prohibited to trade on a national exchan

149、ge or in theover-the-counter trading market in the United States under the HFCA Act and theAHFCA Act if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate ourauditors for two consecutive years beginning in 2021.As a result,an exchange maydetermine to delist our securities.Additionally,

150、our securities may be prohibitedfrom trading if our auditor cannot be fully inspected as more stringent criteriahave been imposed by the SEC and the PCAOB recently.On December 2,2021,the SECissued amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosurerequirements in the HFCA Act,whi

152、cause of a position taken by an authority in foreign jurisdictions.For example,on December 16,2021,the PCAOB issued a report on its determinationsthat it is unable to inspect or investigate completely PCAOB-registered publicaccounting firms headquartered in mainland China and in Hong Kong,because of

153、positions taken by PRC authorities in those jurisdictions.On December 15,2022,the PCAOB vacated its previous 2021 determinations that the PCAOB was unable toinspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquarteredin mainland China and Hong Kong.As of the date of the prospec

154、tus,the Companysauditor,Friedman LLP,headquartered in New York,New York,with no branches oroffices outside the United States,has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regularbasis,with the last inspection in August 2020.As a result,we do not expect to beidentified as a“Commission Identified Issuer”under

156、 to satisfactorily conduct inspections of PCAOB-registered publicaccounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong is subject touncertainties and depends on a number of factors out of our and our auditorscontrol.The PCAOB continues to demand complete access in mainland China and HongKon

157、g moving forward and is making plans to resume regular inspections in early 2023and beyond,as well as to continue pursuing ongoing investigations and initiate newinvestigations as needed.While our auditor is based in the U.S.and is registeredwith PCAOB and subject to PCAOB inspection,in the event it

158、 is later determinedthat the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor becauseof a position taken by an authority in a foreign jurisdiction,then such inabilitycould cause trading in our securities to be prohibited under the HFCA Act and theAHFCA Act,and ultimately result in a

159、determination by a securities exchange todelist our securities.If trading in our ordinary shares is prohibited under theHFCA Act and the AHFCA Act in the future because the PCAOB determines that itcannot inspect or fully investigate our auditor at such future time,Nasdaq maydetermine to delist our o

160、rdinary shares,which may cause the value of oursecurities to decline or become worthless.See“Risk Factors Our ordinary sharesmay be prohibited from being traded on and would require delisting from a nationalexchange under the HFCA Act and the AHFCA Act if the PCAOB is unable to inspect ourauditors f

169、Chineseauthorities to list on U.S.exchanges,we will not be able to continue listing onU.S.exchange,which would materially affect the interest of the investors.It isuncertain when and whether the Company will be required to obtain permissions orapprovals from Chinese authorities to list on a foreign

170、stock exchange in thefuture,and even when such permission is obtained,whether it will be denied orrescinded.We have been closely monitoring regulatory developments in Chinaregarding any necessary approvals from the CSRC,CAC or other Chinese authorities.However,there remains significant uncertainty a

171、s to the enactment,interpretationand implementation of regulatory requirements related to overseas securitiesofferings and other capital market activities.Although the Company is currently not required to obtain permission from any ofChinese authorities and has not received any denial to list on the

172、 U.S.exchange,our operations and financial conditions could be adversely affected,and ourability to offer securities to investors could be significantly limited,directlyor indirectly,by existing or future laws and regulations relating to its businessor industry;if we inadvertently conclude that such

173、 permissions or approvals arenot required when they are,or applicable laws,regulations,or interpretationschange and we are required to obtain permissions or approvals in the future.The New“M&A Rule”On August 8,2006,six Chinese regulatory agencies,including the Ministry ofCommerce of the PRC(“MOFCOM”

174、),jointly issued the Regulations on Mergers andAcquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors(the“New M&A Rule”),which became effective on September 8,2006,and was amended on June 22,2009.TheNew M&A Rule contains provisions that require that an offshore special purposevehicle(“SPV”)formed

175、 for the purpose of seeking a public listing on an overseasstock exchange through acquisitions of PRC domestic companies and controlleddirectly or indirectly by Chinese companies or individuals to obtain the approvalof the CSRC prior to the listing and trading of such SPVs securities on anoverseas s

176、tock exchange.On September 21,2006,the CSRC published proceduresspecifying documents and materials required to be submitted to it by an SPV seekingCSRC approval of overseas listings.However,the application of the New M&A Rule remains unclear with no consensuscurrently existing among leading Chinese

177、law firms regarding the scope andapplicability of the CSRC approval requirement.Our Chinese counsel,King&WoodMallesons,has given us the following advice,based on their understanding ofcurrent Chinese laws and regulations:WFOE was established by means of direct investment and not through amerger or r

178、equisition of the equity or assets of a“PRC domesticcompany”as defined under the New M&A Rule,and at the time of our equityinterest acquisition,Harden was a foreign-invested enterprise rather thana“PRC domestic company”before it was acquired by WFOE;and In spite of the lack of clarity on this issue,

179、the CSRC currently has notissued any definitive rule or interpretation regarding whether offeringslike the one contemplated by this prospectus are subject to the New M&ARule.The CSRC has not issued any such definitive rule or interpretation,and we havenot chosen to voluntarily request approval under

180、 the New M&A Rule.If the CSRCrequires that we obtain its approval prior to the completion of this offering,theoffering will be delayed until we obtain CSRC approval,which may takeseveral months.There is also the possibility that we may not be able to obtainsuch approval.If prior CSRC approval was re

181、quired,we may face regulatory actionsor other sanctions from the CSRC or other Chinese regulatory authorities.Theseauthorities may impose fines and penalties upon our operations in China,limit ouroperating privileges in China,delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceedsfrom this offering into

187、ate Council on the Administration of OverseasSecurities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies(Draft forComments)and the Administrative Measures for the Filing of OverseasIssuance and Listing of Securities by Domestic Companies(Draft forComments)On December 24,2021,the CSRC issued Provisions of

188、the State Council on theAdministration of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies(Draft for Comments)(the“Administration Provisions”),and the AdministrativeMeasures for the Filing of Overseas Issuance and Listing of Securities by DomesticCompanies(Draft for Comments)(the“Measu

189、res”).The Administration Provisions and Measures for overseas listings lay outspecific requirements for filing documents and include unified regulationmanagement,strengthening regulatory coordination,and cross-border regulatorycooperation.Domestic companies seeking to list abroad must carry out rele

190、vantsecurity screening procedures if their businesses involve such supervision.Companies endangering national security are among those off-limits for overseaslistings.According to Relevant Officials of the CSRC Answered Reporter Questions(“CSRCAnswers”),after the Administration Provisions and Measur

191、es are implemented uponcompletion of public consultation and due legislative procedures,the CSRC willformulate and issue guidance for filing procedures to further specify the detailsof filing administration and ensure that market entities could refer to clearguidelines for filing,which means it will

192、 still take time to put theAdministration Provisions and Measures into effect.As the AdministrationProvisions and Measures have not yet come into effect,the Company is currentlyunaffected by them.However,according to CSRC Answers,only new initial public offerings andrefinancing by existing overseas

193、listed Chinese companies will be required to gothrough the filing process;other existing overseas listed companies will beallowed a sufficient transition period to complete their filing procedure,whichmeans the Company will certainly go through the filing process in the future,perhaps because of ref

194、inancing,or after being given a sufficient transition periodto complete the filing procedure as an existing overseas listed Chinese company.The Measures for Cybersecurity ReviewOn December 28,2021,the CAC,the National Development and Reform Commission(“NDRC”),and several other administrations jointl

195、y issued the revised Measuresfor Cybersecurity Review,or the Revised Review Measures.According to the RevisedReview Measures,if an“online platform operator”that is in possession ofpersonal data of more than one million users intends to list in a foreign country,it must apply for a cybersecurity revi

196、ew.Given the recency of the issuance of theRevised Review Measures,there is a general lack of guidance and substantialuncertainties exist with respect to their interpretation and implementation.Our business belongs to the waste management and recycling equipmentmanufacturing industry in China,which

197、does not involve the collection of userdata,implicate cybersecurity,or involve any other type of restricted industry.Based on the advice of our PRC counsel,King&Wood Mallesons,and ourunderstanding of currently applicable PRC laws and regulations,our registeredpublic offering in the U.S.is not subjec

198、t to the review or prior approval of theCAC or the CSRC.Uncertainties still exist,however,due to the possibility thatlaws,regulations,or policies in the PRC could change rapidly in the future.Anyfuture action by the PRC government expanding the categories of industries andcompanies whose foreign sec

267、 in the form of dividends,loans oradvances.The PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreigncurrencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC.Therefore,we mayexperience difficulties in completing the administrative procedures necessary toobtain and remit foreign

271、 the case ofdividends will be withheld at source if such gain is regarded as income derivedfrom sources within the PRC.Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and the Hong Kong SpecialAdministrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion onIncome,or the Double Tax Avo

272、idance Arrangement,the 10%withholding tax rate maybe lowered to 5%if a Hong Kong resident enterprise owns no less than 25%of a PRCproject.However,the 5%withholding tax rate does not automatically apply andcertain requirements must be satisfied,including without limitation that(a)theHong Kong project

273、 must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends;and(b)the Hong Kong project must directly hold no less than 25%share ownership inthe PRC project during the 12 consecutive months preceding its receipt of thedividends.In current practice,a Hong Kong entity must obtain a tax residentcertificate

274、 from the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5%lower PRCwithholding tax rate.As the Hong Kong tax authority will issue such a tax residentcertificate on a case-by-case basis,we cannot assure you that we will be able toobtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authorit
