34、 we face the risks anduncertainties associated with the complex and evolving PRC laws and regulations andas to whether and how the recent PRC government statements and regulatorydevelopments,such as those relating to data and cyberspace security,and anti-monopoly concerns,would be applicable to a co

38、and expanding the efforts in anti-monopolyenforcement,which may in the future impact our ability to conduct out business,accept foreign investments or list on a U.S.or other foreign exchange if we were tobecome subject to such regulations.Nevertheless,since these statements andregulatory actions are
39、 new,it is highly uncertain how soon the legislative oradministrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws orregulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified orpromulgated,if any.It is also highly uncertain what the potential impacts suchmod
40、ified or new laws and regulations will have on our business operations,ourability to accept foreign investments and the listing of our Ordinary Shares on aU.S.or other foreign exchanges.If certain PRC laws and regulations were to becomeapplicable to a company such as OneC Group in the future,the app
41、lication of suchlaws and regulations may have a material adverse impact on our business,financialcondition and results of operations and our ability to offer or continue to offersecurities to investors,any of which may cause the value of our securities,including the Ordinary Shares,to significantly

53、certainties still exist,however,due to the possibility that laws,regulations,orpolicies in the PRC could change rapidly in the future.In the event that(i)thePRC government expanded the categories of industries and companies whose foreignsecurities offerings are subject to review by the CSRC or the C
54、AC and that we arerequired to obtain such permissions or approvals,or(ii)we inadvertently concludedthat relevant permissions or approvals were not required or that we did not receiveor maintain relevant permissions or approvals required,any action taken by the PRCgovernment could significantly limit
55、 or completely hinder our operations inHong Kong and our ability to offer or continue to offer our Ordinary Shares toinvestors and could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or beworthless and even delisting of our Ordinary Shares.The delisting of our OrdinaryShares,or the thr
56、eat of their being delisted,may materially and adversely affectthe value of your investment in the future.Data security in Hong Kong is primarily governed by the Personal Data(Privacy)Ordinance(Chapter 486 of the Laws of Hong Kong)(the“PDPO”).The PDPO regulatesthe conduct of data users,which is defi
57、ned as a person who,either alone or jointlyor in common with other persons,controls the collection,holding,processing or useof data.Non-compliance with the PDPO may lead to a variety of civil and criminalsanctions,such as fines,imprisonment and civil compensation to the aggrieved datasubjects.See“Ri

70、national securities exchanges,suchas the Nasdaq,may determine to delist our securities.Furthermore,on December23,2022,the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act was enacted,whichamended the HFCA Act by requiring the SEC to prohibit an issuers securities fromtrading on any U.S.stock e
71、xchanges if its auditor is not subject to PCAOBinspections for two consecutiveyears instead of three,and thus,reduced the timebefore the securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.”on page 23.OnAugust26,2022,CSRC,the Ministry of Finance of the PRC(the“MOF”),and thePCAOB signed a Statement
72、 of Protocol(the“Protocol”),governing inspections andinvestigations of audit firms based in China and HongKong.The Protocol remainsunpublished and is subject to further explanation and implementation.Pursuant to thefact sheet with respect to the Protocol disclosed by the SEC,the PCAOB shall haveinde
73、pendent discretion to select any issuer audits for inspection or investigationand has the unfettered ability to transfer information to the SEC.On December15,2022,the PCAOB Board determined that the PCAOB was able to secure complete access toinspect and investigate registered public accounting firms
74、 headquartered in mainlandChina and HongKong and voted to vacate its previous determinations to the contrary.However,should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOBsaccess in the future,the PCAOB Board will consider the need to issue a newdetermination.On December 29,2022,t

76、n December 29,2022,legislation titled“Consolidated Appropriations Act,2023”(the“Consolidated Appropriations Act”),was signed into law by President Biden.The Consolidated Appropriations Actcontained,among other things,an identical provision to Accelerating HFCA Act,whichreduces the number of consecut

82、es for its cash and financing requirements.According to theBVI Companies Act,a BVI company may make dividends distribution to the extent thatimmediately after the distribution,the value of the companys assets exceeds itsliabilities and that such company is able to pay its debts as they fall due.Acco
83、rding to the Companies Ordinance,a Hong Kong company may only make adistribution out of profits available for distribution.If any of OneC Groupssubsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future,the instruments governingsuch debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends to OneC Group.During
84、 thefiscalyears ended March31,2024 and 2023 and up to the date of this prospectus,OneC Group did not declare or pay any dividends and there was no transfer of assetsamong OneC Group and its subsidiaries.We do not have any current intention todistribute any earnings.If we determine to pay dividends o

133、d subsidiaries.OverviewWe,through the operating subsidiary,are a structural steelwork contractor inHongKong,specializing in the procurement and installation of structural steel forconstruction projects in HongKong.Since our establishment in 2021,the operatingsubsidiary has been undertaking structura
134、l steelwork projects in the role ofsubcontractor and has conducted all of our business activities in HongKong,whereall of our clients and suppliers are located.Structural steelwork refers to the installation and formation of steel structures,typically serving as the backbone of commercial and reside
135、ntial buildings andinfrastructure during the initial stage of a construction project.Essentially,structural steelwork involves columns and beams that are riveted,bolted or weldedtogether.As a structural steelwork contractor,the operating subsidiary willsupply,cut,bend,weld and assemble structural st
136、eel frames,trusses and othercomponents into structures in accordance with the specifications provided in thebuilding plans and designs provided by the general contractors that engage it.Typically,the operating subsidiarys major responsibilities in a constructionproject include(i)performing site prep
137、aratory and preliminary work;(ii)developing detailed work schedules and work allocation plans;(iii)implementing construction site work;and(iv)conducting site safetysupervision and quality control.As a subcontractor,the direct clients of the operating subsidiary are mostly theregistered general build
138、ing contractors under the Buildings Ordinance(Chapter 123of the Laws of Hong Kong)(“BO”),of various types of building and infrastructureprojects in Hong Kong.The operating subsidiary principally provides structuralsteelwork services as a subcontractor for both(i)public sector projects,including infr
139、astructure,public facilities and public residential developments,and(ii)private sector projects,which are mostly private commercial,residentialand industrial developments.Public sector projects refer to projects in which thegeneral contractors are employed by public authorities,while private sectorp
140、rojects refer to projects that are not public sector projects.For thefiscal years ended March 31,2023 and 2024,the majority of our revenue wasderived from public sector projects.We are a fast-growing company.During the fiscalyears ended March31,2023 and2024,the operating subsidiary completed nine an
141、d eight projects,respectively,andwe recorded revenue of$54,493,000 and$63,463,000,respectively.Based on our onecompleted and 12 active and ongoing construction projects as of March31,2024,which are expected to be completed between the second half of 2024 and 2026,we areengaged in the structural stee
142、lwork for 21,024 public residential units for certainpublic residential projects to be developed by the HongKong Housing Authority(astatutory body of the Hong Kong government and the main provider of public housingin Hong Kong)and the HongKong Housing Society(the second largest public housingprovide
143、r in Hong Kong and an independent not-for-profit organization supported bythe Hong Kong government),which account for 29%of forecasted total of 73,000residential units in the public sector in 2024 to 2026 by the Hong Kong HousingBureau,which is a statutory organization tasked to develop and implemen
144、t publichousing programs to help the Hong Kong Government achieve its policy objective onpublic housing.2024/11/18 08:49sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2030834/000121390024097080/ea0210012-06.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2030834/000121390024097080/ea0210012-06.htm18/300In addition,the opera
145、ting subsidiary mainly focuses on the role of projectmanagement and carries out the site work by recruiting and supervising contractworkers for most projects and will often subcontract part of the work to third-party subcontractors if the project work exceeds the capacity of the operatingsubsidiary.
146、In such instances,subcontractors are selected based on their qualityof services,qualifications,skills and techniques,prevailing market price,delivery time,reputation and availability of resources to accommodate theoperating subsidiarys requirements.For the fiscalyears ended March31,2023and 2024,the
147、percentage of our total purchases from our largest subcontractoramounted to approximately 16%and 32%of our total purchases,respectively,whilethe percentage of our purchases from all of our subcontractors combined amounted toapproximately 22%and 47%of our total purchases,respectively.12024/11/18 08:4

199、Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.A court of the CaymanIslands may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are beingbrought elsewhere.A judgment entered in default of appearance by a defendant whohas had notice of the Foreign Courts intention to proceed may be final andconclusive,notw

209、ory actions and statementsto regulate business operations in certain areas in China with little advancenotice,including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market,enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using VIEstructure,adopting new measures to extend the
210、 scope of cybersecurity reviews,andexpanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.For example,on July6,2021,the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and theGeneral Office of the State Council jointly issued a document to crack down onillegal activities in the securiti
211、es market and promote the high-qualitydevelopment of the capital market,which,among other things,requires the relevantgovernmental authorities to strengthen cross-border oversight of law enforcementand judicial cooperation,to enhance supervision over China-based companies listedoverseas,and to estab
212、lish and improve the system of extraterritorial applicationof the PRC securities laws.Also,on July10,2021,the CAC issued a revised draftof the Measures for Cybersecurity Review for public comments(the“RevisedDraft”),which required that,in addition to“operators of critical informationinfrastructure,”
213、any“data processor”controlling personal information of no lessthan one million users that seeks to list in a foreign stock exchange should alsobe subject to cybersecurity review,and it further elaborated the factors to beconsidered when assessing the national security risks of the relevant activitie
214、s.The Revised Draft remains unclear as to whether a Hong Kong company shall besubject to its provisions.We do not currently expect the Revised Draft to have animpact on our business,operations,or this offering,as we do not believe thatOneC Engineering is deemed to be an“operator of critical informat
215、ioninfrastructure”or a“data processor”controlling personal information of no lessthan one million users,which are required to file for cybersecurity review beforelisting in the UnitedStates,because(i)OneC Engineering is incorporated andoperating in HongKong,and the Revised Draft remains unclear as t
216、o whether itshall be applied to a HongKong company;(ii)OneC Engineering operates withoutany subsidiary nor VIE structure in mainland China;(iii)as of date of thisprospectus,OneC Engineering has not collected or stored any personal informationof PRC individual clients;(iv)as of date of this prospectu
217、s,all of the data OneCEngineering has collected is stored in servers located in Hong Kong;and(v)as ofthe date of this prospectus,OneC Engineering has not been informed by any PRCgovernmental authority of any requirement that it must file for a cybersecurityreview.However,there remains significant un
218、certainty in the interpretation andenforcement of relevant PRC cybersecurity laws and regulations.If the RevisedDraft is adopted into law in the future and if OneC Engineering is deemed to be an“operator of critical information infrastructure”or a“data processor”controlling personal information of n
219、o less than one million users,OneCEngineerings operation and the listing of our Ordinary Shares in theUnitedStates could be subject to CACs cybersecurity review in the future.On December28,2021,the CAC published the revised Cybersecurity Review Measures(“CRM”),which further restates and expands the
220、applicable scope of thecybersecurity review.The revised CRM took effect on February 15,2022,andreplaced the Revised Draft issued on July10,2021.Pursuant to the revised CRM,ifa network platform operator holding personal information of over one million usersseeks for“foreign”listing,it must apply for
221、the cybersecurity review.Inaddition,operators of critical information infrastructure purchasing networkproducts and services are also obligated to apply for the cybersecurity review forsuch purchasing activities.Although the CRM provides no further explanation on theextent of“network platform operat
222、or”and“foreign”listing,we do not believewe are obligated to apply for a cybersecurity review pursuant to the revised CRM,considering that(i)we are not in possession of or otherwise holding personalinformation of over one million users,and it is also very unlikely that we willreach such threshold in
223、the near future;and(ii)as of the date of thisprospectus,we have not received any notice or determination from applicable PRCgovernmental authorities identifying it as a critical information infrastructureoperator.On February 17,2023,the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures ofOverseas Secu
