If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrades our ordinary shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our ordinary shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our ordinary shares could decrease, which might cause the price of our ordinary shares and trading volume to decline.

As a result, we will be a "controlled company" under the Nasdaq Capital Market's governance standards, defined as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company. As a "controlled company," we are permitted to rely on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules, including:

We are a growing company with a limited operating history. If we fail to achieve further marketplace acceptance for our services, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected .

A significant or prolonged economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may be unable to retain existing clients or may be unable to attract new clients.

We may face damage to our professional reputation or legal liability if our clients are not satisfied with our services.

If our affiliates, alliances or investee portfolio companies do not succeed, we may not be successful in implementing our growth strategy.

The consulting services in the business and technology industries are highly competitive, and we may not be able to compete effectively.

Our inability to retain our senior management team and other managing directors would be detrimental to the success of our business.

Our inability to hire and retain talented people in an industry where there is great competition for talent could have a serious negative effect on our prospects and results of operations.

Revenues from our performance-based engagements are difficult to predict, and the timing and extent of recovery of our costs is uncertain.

Developments in the social, political, regulatory and economic environment in the countries where we operate, may have a material and adverse impact on us.

We have only a limited ability to protect our intellectual property rights, which are important to our success.

Our operations and sales have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we must successfully manage the demand, supply, and operational challenges associated with the actual or perceived effects of COVID-19 and the related widespread public health crisis.

Foreign exchange rate fluctuations and controls could have a material adverse effect on our earnings and the strength of our balance sheet.

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow certain home country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain requirements under the Nasdaq listing standards. This may afford less protection to holders of our ordinary shares than U.S. regulations.

We will be a foreign private issuer and, as a result, we will not be subject to U.S. proxy rules and will be subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less detailed than those of a U.S. issuer.

We may lose our foreign private issuer status, which would then require us to comply with the Exchange Act's domestic reporting regime and cause us to incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses.

We are a BVI-incorporated company with substantially all of our assets located in Malaysia, and it may be difficult to enforce a judgment of U.S. courts for civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws against us, our directors or officers.

We are subject to the laws of the British Virgin Islands and Malaysia, which differ in certain material respects from the laws of the United States.

Subject to the general authority to allot and issue new ordinary shares provided by our shareholders, under British Virgin Island law our directors may allot and issue new ordinary shares on terms and conditions and for such purposes as may be determined by our Board in its sole discretion and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.

There has been no existing market for our ordinary shares, and we do not know whether one will develop to provide you with adequate liquidity. If the trading price of our ordinary shares fluctuates after this offering, you could lose a significant part of your investment.

Our founding shareholder and his spouse, Karen Liew, our Executive Director , will beneficially own 67.3% of our outstanding ordinary shares after this offering. This concentration of ownership and voting power will limit your ability to influence corporate matters.

Our Memorandum and Articles of Association contain anti-takeover provisions which may discourage a third-party from acquiring us and adversely affect the rights of holders of our ordinary shares.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research, about our business, the price of our ordinary shares and our trading volume could decline.

We may not pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Certain recent initial public offerings of companies with relatively small public floats have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. Our ordinary shares may potentially experience rapid and substantial price volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our ordinary shares.

New investors in our ordinary shares will experience immediate and substantial dilution after this offering.

We currently report our financial results under IFRS, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP.

We will incur significantly increased costs and devote substantial management time as a result of operating as a public company.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting in the future, we may not be able to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, which may adversely affect investor confidence.

If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of Nasdaq, Nasdaq could delist our ordinary shares.

We have broad discretion over the use of proceeds we receive in this offering and may not apply the proceeds in ways that increase the value of your investment.

We currently report our financial

While we currently anticipate that our available

available funds will be sufficient to meet our cash needs for at least the next 12 months, we may need or elect to seek, additional financing at any time. Our ability to obtain financing will depend on, among other things, our development efforts, business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing. If we need or elect to raise additional funds, we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our shareholders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per-share value of our ordinary shares could decline. If we engage in additional debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that further restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios and limit the operating flexibility of our business. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable accep table terms, we may not be able to, among other things:

fund our operating capital requirements as we grow;

retain the leadership team and staff required; and

repay our liabilities as they come due.
