55、We face various risks associated with being based in or having our operations primarily in China and the evolving laws and regulations in China,including risks related to the legal,political and economic policies of the Chinese government,the relations between China and the United States,or Chinese
56、or United States regulations,which risks could result in amaterial change in our operations and/or cause the value of the ADSs to significantly decline or become worthless,and significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer orcontinue to offer securities to investors.Because we operate
57、 in mainland China,the Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of oursubsidiaries business and may intervene or influence their operations,including that of our PRC subsidiaries,at any time,which could result in a material adverse change in our businessa
58、nd operations,prospects,financial condition,and results of operations,and the value of our securities.Changes in the policies,regulations,rule,and the enforcement of laws of theChinese government may also be implemented quickly with little advance notice,and the Chinese government may intervene or i
59、nfluence our subsidiaries at any time or may exert morecontrol over offerings conducted overseas or investments in China-based issuers,which could result in material changes in operations and/or the value of the securities we are registeringfor sale.Any actions by the Chinese government to exert mor
60、e oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment and/or operations in China-based issuers could significantly change our operations,limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such sec
61、urities tosignificantly decline or be worthless.Therefore,our assertions and beliefs concerning the risk imposed by the PRC legal and regulatory system cannot be certain.For example,recently thePRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in
62、China with little advance notice,including cracking down on illegal activities inthe securities market,strengthened supervision on overseas listings by China-based companies using a variable interest entity structure(“VIE”),adopting new measures to extend thescope of cybersecurity reviews and data s
63、ecurity protection,and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.The PRC government may also regulate our operations by adoptingnew laws and regulations from time to time.Furthermore,the PRC government has recently made efforts to exert more oversight over overseas securities offerings and
64、other capitalmarkets activities and foreign investment in China-based companies like us.Any such action,once taken by the PRC government,could cause the value of such securities to significantlydecline or in extreme cases,become worthless.As advised by our PRC legal counsel,Zhong Lun Law Firm,as of
65、the date of this prospectus,we have not engaged in any monopolistic behavior and our business does not control morethan one million users personal information as of the date of this prospectus,implicate cybersecurity,or involve any other type of restricted industry.However,we cannot affirm that PRCr
66、egulators share the same interpretation.Because these statements and regulatory actions are new and subject to change,it is highly uncertain as to how quickly the legislative oradministrative regulation making bodies in China will respond to companies,or what existing or new laws or regulations will
67、 be amended or promulgated,if any,or the potential impactsuch amended or new legislation will have on our daily business operations or our ability to accept foreign investments and list on a U.S.stock exchange.According to the Overseas ListingFiling Rules,we are required to submit the filing applica
68、tion to the China Securities Regulatory Commission(the“CSRC”)within three business days after our submission of applicationfor any overseas initial public offering and listing.We have submitted a filing with the CSRC with respect to our overseas initial public offering and listing on November 20,202
69、3.On May30,2024,the CSRC published a Filing Completion Notice on the CSRCs official website(“Filing Completion Notice”),confirming that we have completed the filing procedures with theCSRC under the Trial Measures.Upon completion of the CSRC filing procedures,which was evidenced by the Filing Comple
70、tion Notice,we have fulfilled the CSRCs requirementsregarding our overseas offering and listing under the Trial Measures.However,from the date of issuance of the Filing Completion Notice to the completion of this offering,if weexperience any material or significant events that may cause(i)a major ch
71、ange to the main business or business license qualifications of the PRC Subsidiaries;(ii)a major change ofcontrol or equity structure;and(iii)a major adjustment to the offering and listing plan which includes but are not limited to changes of the listing place,possible changes of control afterthe ad
72、justment of the offering plan,and increases in the proportion of shares to be issued,we shall update the filing documents with the CSRC within three business days.Additionally,upon completion of this offering,we shall report the offering information to the CSRC within 15 business days.If a violation
73、 of the foregoing and related regulations occurs,the CSRCmay order rectification,issue warnings,and impose a fine between RMB 1 million and RMB 10 million on our PRC Subsidiaries,which could adversely and materially affect our businessoperations and financial outlook,and significantly limit or compl
74、etely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer ADSs to investors and could cause the value of the ADSs tosignificantly decline or such shares to become worthless.Additionally,if we do not obtain the permissions and approvals of the filing procedure for any subsequent offering in a timelymann
75、er under PRC laws and regulations,we may be subject to investigations by competent PRC regulators,fines or penalties,ordered to suspend our relevant operations and rectify anynon-compliance,prohibited from engaging in relevant business or conducting any offering,and these risks could result in a mat
76、erial adverse change in our operations,limit our ability tooffer or continue to offer securities to investors,or cause such securities to significantly decline in value or become worthless.Any failure of fully complying with the approval,filing orother requirements may completely hinder our ability
77、to offer and list the ADSs,cause significant disruption to our business operations,and severely damage our reputation,which wouldmaterially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.See“Risk Factors Risks related to Doing Business in the PRC”beginning on page 31 of this
78、prospectus for adiscussion of these legal and operational risks.The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,or the HFCAA,was enacted on December 18,2020,and was amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act,2023 enacted onDecember 29,2022.The amended HFCAA states that if the U.S.Securities and Ex
79、change Commission(the“SEC”)determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registeredpublic accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the U.S.Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(the“PCAOB”)for two consecutive years,the SEC shall prohibitour shares or ADSs from being tr
80、aded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States.The Consolidated Appropriations Act,2023reduced the number of consecutive non-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two years.The PCAOB issued
81、 a DeterminationReport on December 16,2021(the“Determination Report”)which found that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firmsheadquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong because of a position taken by one or more authorities in those jurisdiction
82、s.Furthermore,the Determination Report identified thespecific registered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations(“PCAOB Identified Firms”).Our auditor,Marcum Asia CPAs LLP(“Marcum Asia”),theindependent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included
83、elsewhere in this prospectus,as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United Statesand,a firm registered with the PCAOB,is subject to laws in the U.S.pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professionalstandards.Marcum A
84、sia is headquartered in New York,New York,and,as of the date of this prospectus,was not included in the list of PCAOB Identified Firms in the DeterminationReport.On December 15,2022,the PCAOB issued a report that vacated its December 16,2021,determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong fro
85、m the list of jurisdictionswhere it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms.2025/5/22 09:38sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1997182/000164117225011896/formf-1a.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1997182/000164117225011896/formf-1a.htm5/247 Each year,the PC
86、AOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate audit firms in mainland China and Hong Kong,among other jurisdictions.If the PCAOB determines in thefuture that it no longer has full access to inspect and investigate accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong and we use an accounting
87、firm headquartered in one of thesejurisdictions to issue an audit report on our financial statements filed with the SEC,we would be identified as a“Commission-Identified Issuer”following the filing of the annual report onForm 20-F for the relevant fiscal year.There can be no assurance that we would
88、not be identified as a“Commission-Identified Issuer”for any future fiscal year,and if we were soidentified for two consecutive years,we would become subject to the prohibition on trading under the HFCAA.The delisting of the ADSs,or the threat of their being delisted,maymaterially and adversely affec
89、t the value of your investment.These risks could result in a material adverse change in our operations and the value of the ADSs,significantly limit orcompletely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors or cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or
90、 such securities to become worthless.For moredetails,see“Risk Factors Risks Related to the ADSs and this Offering Trading of the ADSs will be prohibited in the United States under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,or theHFCAA,if it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect
91、and investigate completely our auditor.The delisting of and prohibition from trading the ADSs,or the threat of their beingdelisted and prohibited from trading,may cause the value of the ADSs to significantly decline or the ADSs to become worthless.”beginning on page 44 of this prospectus.As of the d
92、ate of this prospectus,we have not maintained any cash management policies that dictate the purpose,amount and procedure of fund transfers among our Cayman Islandsholding company,our subsidiaries,or investors.Rather,the funds can be transferred in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

123、 your interest in us.We intend to transform the entire renewable resources recycling business in China as we develop and deploy our Online to Offline system(“O2O system”)throughonline applications and offline sites in the traditional recycling business.Our goal is to establish comprehensive,digitize
124、d,and standardized waste recycling services,covering all categories ofrecyclable materials.As such,I am excited to share with you our proprietary technology solutions,scale and financial performance,market opportunities,strengths,and growth strategies along withour outlook of the future.Our opportun
125、ity:to redefine an“overlooked”industry Chinas renewable resources recycling industry has grown steadily in the past several years.Chinas recycled renewable resources increased from 283 million tons in 2017 to 418 million tons in2022,with a compound annual growth rate of 8.1%from 2017 to 2022,of whic
126、h iron and steel scrap(waste ferrous metals)is the main recycled category of renewable resource.The traditionalrenewable resources recycling model mainly relies on scattered offline channels.There is a difficulty of information asymmetry in the renewable resources recycling industry in China,in whic
127、hconsumers lack awareness of where and how to sell used products.In todays extended enterprise environment,the interactions between thousands of suppliers,vendors,and counterparties drive upcost and complexity.As an industry innovator,we developed an O2O system by collecting and disclosing data on r
128、ecycling needs on our system.This information enables professional recyclingpersonnel to receive information and collect recyclable items at the consumers doorstep,not only solving the problem of low efficiency in information dissemination,but also providing consumerswith more convenient recycling m
129、ethods,and achieving efficient renewable resource recycling.Our vision:to transform the recycling services industry The end-to-end process of renewable resources recycling involves numerous steps and many different players,from major manufacturing companies to individual service providers,and everyt
130、hing inbetween.Currently,the systems and information to support all these steps are highly disjointed,making it nearly impossible to obtain a comprehensive view of the overall process,thus preventingcompanies from improving the process as well.We believe that we have prototyped a system that can be
131、used to support the entire end-to-end process.We believe this system prototype,coupled withour proprietary technology,creates value for our industry,as it provides real-time speed and efficiency,tamper-proof reliability,traceability,and transparency for the whole recycling process.Such asystem could
132、 become even more important as connected devices are increasingly used to capture real-time data and,in the future,as artificial intelligence is used to predict and react to demand.Our value proposition:an open system driven by supply chain capabilities and technology Chinas recycling business lacks
133、 sufficient structurethe recycling channels are fragmented and many recycling systems are idle and inefficient.We believe that building an open system driven bysupply chain capabilities and technology and by creating a new infrastructure defined by end-to-end coverage of the value chain are the keys
134、 to success in the recycling business in China.Our outlook:the future of our Company Our corporate culture balances stability and innovation,focusing on both the present and the future.For the next three to five years,we plan to adhere to two strategic priorities:first,to pursue rapidbusiness growth
135、 by enhancing our integrated system capabilities,and second,to expand recycling categories and integrate business chain verticals.One of the biggest obstacles to the renewable resources recycling business will likely be getting companies and customers to cooperate and collaboratecreating a common vi
136、sion,developingcommon standards,and agreeing to build and use a common system.Whether companies are direct competitors or supply chain partners,each has a strategic interest in maintaining advantages overcompetitors and collaborators.However,we believe that our companys ability to create significant
137、 value for each player in our system means that every partner has an incentive to cooperate.Wehave developed recycling solutions with individual companies throughout the industry and have seen compelling cases and momentum towards shaping the future of the recycling transactionecosystem.Partnership
138、with our shareholders:creating long-term value and contributing to society I believe that a robust and sustainable business is a good business,but a business that does good for society beyond generating shareholder return is a great business.We believe that the value of abusiness lies in solving soc
139、ial problems and creating social value.If you share similar values and believe in long-term value creation both economically and socially,join us as we build a betterworld.Thank you for reading this letter.We look forward to partnering with you in the exciting journey ahead.Baitong TangFounder and C

149、ead the entire prospectus carefully,including our financial statements and related notes and the risksdescribed under“Risk Factors.”Our actual results and future events may differ significantly based upon a number of factors.The reader should not put undue reliance on the forward-lookingstatements i
150、n this document,which speak only as of the date on the cover of this prospectus.Overview Established in 2016,we,through our Operating Entities,are a technology driven renewable resources recycling company and system provider and,according to the CIC Report,the largest wastehousehold appliance recycl
151、ing platform in China with a market share of approximately 1.04%in 2023,recycling approximately 21.8 million units of waste household appliances(defined below)since our inception to December 31,2023.We recycled approximately 34.1 million units of waste household appliances,waste plastic,waste paper
152、and scrap vehicles(together as“household waste”)since our inception to December 31,2024.We purchase and sell recycled renewable resources,primarily waste ferrous metals and household waste,and provide our renewable resources recyclingplatform and services based on an O2O(Online to Offline)model thro
153、ugh online applications and offline sites.We believe that we are positioned as an innovative driving force in the traditionalrecycling business,leading the digitization of recycling ecosystems in mainland China.Our goal is to establish comprehensive,digitized,and standardized waste recycling service
154、s,covering allcategories of recyclable materials.Our first operating subsidiary in mainland China,ABGreen Shenzhen,was founded in 2016,and in 2017,we launched our proprietary technology software and applications Boolv ShouShou andBoolv Collect.As of December 31,2024,more than 77,000 electrical and e
155、lectronic appliance sales personnel are registered in our mini-program Boolv ShouShou and provide household waste andconsumer electronics source information.More than 35,000 third-party recycling personnel who perform on-site collection of renewable resources are registered in our Boolv Collect app
156、as ofDecember 31,2024,which allows registered recycling personnel to bid for and accept recycling orders by connecting with suppliers on our renewable resources recycling online system.In 2020,welaunched our Boolv Sorting Center app for sourcing information on collection,inventory management,and set
157、tlement systems.The app is now used in third-party recycling stations,transit yards,andsorting centers,in addition to our sorting center.In 2021,we launched our recycling and disposal of waste metallic resources business,which developed rapidly and became the recycling category that contributed to t
158、he largest percentage of ourrevenue in fiscal years 2023 and 2024.Our business scope currently includes waste metallic resource recycling,household waste recycling,pre-owned electronic sales,as well as downstreamservices such as metallic resources and household waste dismantling and disposal.Our mai
159、n revenue is generated from waste metallic resources and household waste.In 2023 and 2024,our revenuesreached RMB 4.0 billion and RMB 4.5 billion(US$0.6 billion),respectively,with a year-over-year growth of 11.8%in 2024 compared to 2023.Our Competitive Strengths Extensive Nationwide Recycling Networ
160、k:We have established a renewable resources recycling network covering more than 500 cities(including county-level cities).Our networkincludes approximately 3,800 third-party recycling stations and more than 35,000 registered recycling personnel as of December 31,2024.This capability allows end-to-e
161、nd coverage forconnecting the upstream suppliers to the downstream second-hand sales platforms and markets and dismantling and disposal enterprises.We believe our network offers us four majoradvantages:Efficient Recycling:We allow complete on-site collection within 24 hours after users/suppliers pla
162、ce their orders for recycling,greatly improving service efficiency and establishinga leading competitive edge in nationwide recycling services in China.12025/5/22 09:38sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1997182/000164117225011896/formf-1a.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1997182/000164117225011896
163、/formf-1a.htm11/247 Effective Sourcing of Supply:Leveraging the recycling service capabilities of our recycling network,we have access to a vast supply of waste products nationwide,enabling us toestablish a leading supply capacity.Full Category Business Expansion:With our existing network of third-p
164、arty recycling stations,transfer yards,and sorting centers,we can efficiently expand our services to includeother recycling categories,such as plastic waste recycling and textile waste recycling,thereby increasing revenue and profitability.Cost Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement:Through strategic
165、supply partnerships with over 15 downstream waste dismantling and disposal companies and more than 10 steelproduction companies,we ensure seamless integration of the entire life cycle of renewable resources,from collection to disposal and dismantling.Tech-Driven Innovations:Through a combination of
166、internet technology and offline recycling networks,we have created a digitized recycling ecosystem comprising:Boolv ShouShou for collection of recycling information from registered users;Boolv Collect for convenient door-to-door recycling used by recycling personal;and Boolv Sorting Center for refin
167、ed classification of the recycled items used by recycling station,transit yard,and sorting center personnel to manage the collected renewableresources.Industry-Leading Traceability System for Renewable Resources:Our system provides key information such as product details,sources,destinations,and sal
168、es records,which arerecorded data in the system,and technical support.Our system enables unique Environmental,Social,and Corporate Governance(“ESG”)traceability capabilities for renewable resourcesrecycling and monitors and traces different processes of every business unit.Our objective is to collec
169、tively enhance corporate,environmental,and social value.We use our Boolv ShouShou mini-program to collect recycling information,including order sources,categories of waste,and quantity of waste.Recycling personnel will upload thecollected information via the Boolv Collect mobile application.The recy
170、cling station,transit yard,and sorting center personnel use our Boolv Sorting Center mobile application to registerorder sources,categories,quantities,inventory management,and sales.We then use our Boolv Sorting Center application to allocate and sell renewable resources to the dismantlingenterprise
171、s.The data collected from the above four processes primarily form a full lifecycle of waste household appliance products,from the user to the dismantling enterprises.The Ministry of Commerce of the Peoples Republic of China invited us to share and promote this traceability system to other local gove
172、rnments,and we were invited by companies in thesame industry to share our system.Empower Business Partners and Create a Diverse Ecosystem:Given our industry knowledge and expertise as well as our business expansion and empowerment capabilities,wecooperate with numerous industry partners in the upstr
173、eam supplier and downstream customer aspects of the renewable resources recycling industry.These partners are well established inChinas renewable resources recycling industry in logistics,environmental protection equipment,and dismantling and disposal.Our Growth Strategies Our strategies aim to furt
174、her grow our business as well as increase our penetration in the renewable resources recycling industry in China and globally.To accomplish this,we plan toleverage the strengths and capabilities of our renewable resources recycling platform to achieve organic growth and to search for new opportuniti
175、es to expand our renewable resources recyclingcategories and integrate additional business segments:Innovation Driven Growth Strategies:By improving our current applications and developing more widely applicable digital tools,we plan to strengthen our technology innovation andresearch and developmen
176、t capabilities,increase investments in digital technology,and emphasize our research on data analysis,traceability management,Internet of Things(IoT)andlocation-based services(LBS),unique product identifiers,and digital supply chain technologies required by our industry.We aim to grow our user base
177、and promote innovation and enhancecapabilities of our technology system and recycling ecosystem.22025/5/22 09:38sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1997182/000164117225011896/formf-1a.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1997182/000164117225011896/formf-1a.htm12/247 Online and Offline Customer Growth:W
178、e intend to expand our range of customer services through both online and offline growth approaches.By establishing a larger network of third-party physical locations that integrate with our online systems,we aim to cover more cities and connect with more upstream supply channels,such as towns and c
179、ommunities for sourcingrenewable resources.We believe this approach will ultimately expand our downstream distribution channels as well.In the next three years,we plan to add approximately 2,000 traditionaloffline recycling stations and to expand to cover over 6,000 offline recycling stations.Expand
180、 Recycling Categories and Integrate Business Chain:Increasing revenue and enhancing margin are our top business development priorities.We plan to continue expanding thescope of our recycling services to cover a wider range of renewable resources categories.These categories include not only waste met
181、allic resources and household waste,but also lithium-ion batteries.By establishing or acquiring a dismantling business,we can extend our business chain from“collection classification-resale”to include environmentally-sound dismantling.This extension would enable us to increase our gross profit margi
182、n,improve profitability and strengthen our value proposition in the industry.For example,one of our Operating Entities,Jiangxi Jingchuang Scrapped Vehicle Recycling and Dismantling Co.,Ltd,completed the filing of the Registration Certificate for Renewable Resource Recycling Operations with theMinist
183、ry of Commerce on August 15,2024,and the Qualification Certificate for End-of-Life Vehicle Dismantling Enterprises(Certificate No.3604822475)issued by the Jiangxi ProvincialDepartment of Commerce on March 5,2025.Furthermore,our recent investment in Hubei Jinke has expanded our business scope,includi
184、ng household waste dismantling and hazardouswaste disposal.We plan to increase the proportion of downstream disposal and dismantling segments in the Companys total revenue and profit,overall extending the Companys valuechain.Strengthen Business Collaborations:We believe that connecting with a wider
185、network of business partners is a key driver of our future growth.We plan to collaborate with majormanufacturing enterprises to diversify our B2B sourcing network.Furthermore,we aim to establish partnerships with various third-party systems,including property management,appliancerepair,home cleaning
186、,and charitable foundations,leveraging their“at-home service”capabilities to expand our sourcing network and user base.Support ESG Sustainable Growth:ESG principals have become a crucial concept for enterprises globally,and China has implemented policies requiring annual ESG accountability reportsfr
187、om companies nationwide.By supporting compliance and consistency with ESG principles in our business model,we believe we will attract more customers and business collaboration tosupport our ultimate mission of zero waste product solutions.Participation in Carbon Trading:In 2021,China launched the wo
188、rlds largest carbon emissions trading system,which will play a fundamental role in reducing carbon emissions.We planto capitalize on the data and information we collect via our system to accumulate carbon quotas for future profit growth by participating in international/domestic carbon markets.OnSep
189、tember 11,2023,we have obtained a Product Carbon Footprint Certification/PCF Certification of Registration in the PRC from Auburn Inspection&Certification Group Co.,Ltd.Our Corporate History and Structure We are a Cayman Islands holding company and primarily conduct our operations in China through A

266、nterest entity structure(“VIE”),adopting new measures to extend thescope of cybersecurity reviews,and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.Measures for Cybersecurity Review On December 28,2021,the CAC,and several other regulatory authorities in China jointly promulgated the Measures fo
267、r Cybersecurity Review,which came into effect on February 15,2022.Pursuant to the Measures for Cybersecurity Review,(i)where the relevant activity affects or may affect national security,a“critical information infrastructure operator,”or a CIIO,that purchasesnetwork products and services,or an inter

303、olding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,or the HFCAA,was enacted on December 18,2020,and was amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act,2023 enacted on December 29,2022.The amended HFCAA states if the SEC determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm
304、that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for twoconsecutive years,the SEC shall prohibit the ADSs from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States.The ConsolidatedAppropriations Act,2023 reduced the number of consecutive n
305、on-inspection years required for triggering the prohibitions under the HFCAA from three years to two years.The PCAOB issued aDetermination Report on December 16,2021(the“Determination Report”)which found that the PCAOB was unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firm
306、sheadquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong because of a position taken by one or more authorities in those jurisdictions.Furthermore,the Determination Report identified the specificregistered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations(“PCAOB Identified Firms”).Our auditor,

309、a report that vacated its December 16,2021,determination and removed mainland China and Hong Kong from the list of jurisdictions where it is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms.Each year,the PCAOB will determine whether it can inspect and investigate audit
310、firms in mainland China and Hong Kong,among other jurisdictions.If the PCAOB determines in the future that itno longer has full access to inspect and investigate accounting firms in mainland China and Hong Kong and we use an accounting firm headquartered in one of these jurisdictions to issue an aud
311、itreport on our financial statements filed with the SEC,we would be identified as a“Commission-Identified Issuer”following the filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the relevant fiscal year.There can be no assurance that we would not be identified as a“Commission-Identified Issuer”for any fut
312、ure fiscal year,and if we were so identified for two consecutive years,we would becomesubject to the prohibition on trading under the HFCAA.The delisting of the ADSs,or the threat of their being delisted,may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment.These riskscould result in a ma
