24、制造商联合会颁发的“商业模式创新奖”。2015年,我们荣获新加坡资讯通信技术联合会(SiTF)颁发的“最佳创新资讯通信技术应用奖”。2016 年,我们荣获新加坡资讯通信媒体发展局(IMDA,前身为资讯通信发展局)和 SiTF颁发的“最具创新性资讯通信技术应用奖(私营部门中小企业)”。2017 年,我们荣获世界知识产权组织 新加坡知识产权局(WIPO-IPOS)颁发的“知识产权奖”。此外,2017年,新加坡南洋理工大学通过其南洋科技创业中心将我们的创新解决方案作为案例研究发布,题为“协和安保私人有限公司的转型”,以表彰我们的创新解决方案。同年,新加坡管理大学和哈佛商业教育出版公司也认可了我们的创
25、新,发表了一篇题为“主要案例:颠覆性创新者的韧性:Concorde Security”的案例研究。2018 年至 2019 年,为了表彰我们在行业转型方面的解决方案,IMDA 在新加坡政府的行业转型地图试点计划中批准了我们的解决方案。2020 年至 2021 年,为了表彰我们的技术和解决方案,我们被 IMDA 列入安全类别下的“预先批准的 IT 解决方案供应商”。2022 年至 2023 年,为了表彰我们的技术解决方案,IMDA 在新加坡政府的中小企业数字化计划下的高级数字解决方案(ADS)中批准了我们的解决方案。凭借这些奖项和认可,我们相信我们是新加坡领先的解决方案提供商之一。通过集成我们的
26、专利技术解决方案,我们帮助客户降低成本并增强安全性。自 1997 年在新加坡成立以来,我们通过持续提供高质量的安保人力,在专业安保界建立了良好的声誉。2014 年,我们认识到了不断发展的社会中人力的可持续性,决定利用创新的商业模式转型为一家安保解决方案服务公司。凭借我们专利的技术创新,我们可以提供更高水平的安保性能,同时减少人员需求。传统上,24 小时轮班需要至少三名保安人员来覆盖。我们的解决方案包括在客户场所部署闭路电视摄像机、传感器和其他物联网设备,以实现远程访问控制监控和管理。这些设备通过我们的移动指挥车进行集成和控制,这些指挥车被称为“I-Man 设施短跑者(IFS)”,可在规定半径范
27、围内巡逻一组客户站点。这种主动方法可以快速响应任何发生的事件。因此,由于这些技术的有效利用,我们的客户所需的现场保安人员从三人减少到两人甚至更少。闭路电视摄像机、传感器和其他物联网设备的实施不仅最大限度地减少了人为错误,而且也减少了对额外人员的总体需求。我们负责操作 IFS 的专家接受了严格的培训,能够有效地处理各种技术并熟练地应对各种情况。这种方法不仅提高了他们的技能,还有助于我们团队成员更好地平衡工作与生活。因此,我们在新加坡获得了无数奖项,以表彰我们的创新技术和我们为生产下一代可靠安全解决方案所做的贡献。凭借我们专利的技术应用和开创性的解决方案,我们为新加坡的商业、金融、工业和政府客户提

29、24 年 6 月 30 日和 2023 年 6 月 30 日的六个月,我们的智能守卫服务分别占我们合并收入的 96.75%和 98.66%。截至 2023 年 12 月 31 日和 2022 年 12 月 31 日的财政年度,我们的智能守卫服务分别占我们合并收入的约 98.09%和 99.09%。人工守卫服务雇用经过培训的保安人员来维护安全并阻止非法活动。截至 2024 年 6 月 30 日和 2023 年6 月 30 日的六个月内,我们的人身保护服务分别占我们合并收入的 0.82%和 1.22%。截至 2023 年 12 月 31 日和 2022 年 12 月 31 日的财政年度,它分别占我

31、在物业、资产和建筑服务系统集成监控方面的颠覆性创新获得了认可。这确保了全天候监控,确保了完全的安全和运营效率。这一成就得益于我们的智能安全解决方案套件,即“I-Guarding Services”。我们的旗舰服务之一,开创性的“I-Man Facility Sprinter(“IFS”)”是一个移动车辆平台,彻底改变了安全和设施维护服务。这些开创性的解决方案不仅改善了工人的薪酬、技能组合和工作条件,还重新定义了行业的整体业务格局。我们公司的第二款旗舰产品是“智能设施认证器(IFA)”。IFA 是一种创新解决方案,利用先进的自助服务终端技术来增强安全性并简化访客管理。为了应对人力有限和成本上升的
32、挑战,IFA 系统自动发放安全通行证和门禁卡,无需人工干预。它的工作原理是向访客发送安全通行证图标,在进入时验证其身份,并发放具有不同安全级别权限的门禁卡。这项技术不仅增强了建筑物内的安全性,而且还提供了高效的访客管理服务,使其成为自助服务终端采用率不断提高的行业的游戏规则改变者。最终,IFA 代表了安全访问控制的重大进步,无需依赖人工干预。截至 2024 年 6 月 30 日和 2023 年 6 月 30 日的六个月内,我们分别有超过 83%和 98.73%的收入来自年度经常性合同。截至 2023 年 12 月 31 日和 2022 年 12 月 31 日的财政年度,我们分别有超过 96%和

34、定和增长。截至 2023 年 12 月 31 日止财政年度,我们的两大客户新加坡科技设计大学和 OnePunggol 人民协会分别占我们总收入的约 8%和 7%。截至 2022 年 12 月 31 日止财政年度,我们的两大客户 Ceva Logistics Singapore Pte Ltd 和 JTC Corporation 分别占我们总收入的约 10%和 10%。请参阅“风险因素与我们的业务和行业相关的风险我们的很大一部分收入来自我们现有的长期客户;因此,我们无法保留和维持与现有客户的良好关系可能会对我们的业务和财务业绩产生重大不利影响。”和“风险因素与我们的业务和行业相关的风险我们的客户
35、集中度很高,有限数量的客户占了我们近期收入的很大一部分。”我们的产品和服务 保安服务 在传统的安保部署中,每栋建筑或地点每班至少雇用一名保安。每 24 小时班次至少需要三名保安驻守在建筑或地点。传统的安保部署完全基于人力,面临几个关键挑战:(i)由于人性,保安不可靠,因为保安经常在值班时睡着,尤其是在夜班;(ii)保安人员短缺;(iii)劳动力成本上升。我们的 i-Guarding 服务解决了这些问题,并改善了保安的工作与生活平衡。根据图表,我们的 i-Guarding 服务包括一辆移动监控和响应车辆(称为 IFS),它在指定半径内巡逻,在 24 小时内覆盖众多建筑物或地点。每栋建筑或地点都安
36、装了电子安全系统,包括可与我们的 IFS 集成的门禁系统、安全监控摄像头和传感器。因此,无需在每个地点部署警卫,就可以使用这些电子安全系统。这些系统通过现有的电信基础设施连接到我们的 IFS,包括超级 Wifi、4G 或 5G 网络。如果触发警报,IFS 将立即通过车辆内的远程指挥中心做出响应,并在需要时提供现场响应。因此,客户可以减少对人力警卫的依赖。2025/1/8 15:19sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2001794/000121390024109747/ea0224735-f1a4_concorde.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archive

44、预测的收入流。此外,随着我 们继续推出更多 i-Guarding 服务,它应该会提高我们的盈利能力。在 I-Guarding 下部署的每个建筑物或地点都代表增量收入,其成本水平几乎与一个 IFS 可以为至少15 个或更多建筑物或地点提供服务的成本水平相同。与新客户相比,为我们的经常性客户提供服务所需的获取和营销成本应该更低。因此,签约更多建筑物或地点将带来收入和盈利能力的提高。我们认为我们的服务具有巨大的市场机会,因为我们的目标市场的客户更喜欢外包安全和设施管理服务,这些服务提供实时安全监控,以提供持续保护并快速响应安全漏洞和火灾警报。我们打算通过开发新的创新产品并继续积极的销售和营销努力来继
45、续寻求经常性收入的机会。为了扩大规模,我们将不得不继续在营销和开发上投入资金。因此,这可能会影响我们的整体盈利能力。坚持提供一流客户服务的承诺。我们致力于培养一种致力于为广大客户提供行业领先客户服务的文化。我们通过新加坡的 5 个集群指挥中心开展运营。通过这些移动位置,我们的团队提供监控安全、交互式住宅和商业自动化解决方案,包括安装、现场服务、维修、持续监控和客户支持。我们的安装和服务技术人员以及我们的客户服务代表致力于提供高质量的客户服务体验。这一承诺提升了我们的品牌,提高了客户满意度,增加了客户保留率,并加速了采用其他交互式自动化解决方案。因此,它推动了新客户获取支出的回报并提高了现金流的
46、产生。我们为在安全警报发出后 15 分钟内为大多数客户提供现场响应而感到自豪。保持我们的优质客户群。我们认为,客户保留也与客户的信用质量密切相关。我们计划继续关注严格的承保标准,并将建立流程来评估潜在新客户的信用度,以改善我们的客户选择或要求高风险客户预付款。我们预计,我们对产生优质客户的关注将继续带来具有吸引力信用评分的客户组合,从而提高保留率,降低信用风险敞口,并产生强大的长期客户组合,从而产生强劲的新客户获取支出回报并推动强劲的现金流产生。将我们受专利保护的解决方案在新加坡以外地区稳步扩张。我们坚信,由于劳动力成本不断上涨,以及对高质量安全和设施管理服务的需求不断增长,我们的解决方案将面

124、y Shares,you should carefully consider the risks describedbelow,together with all of the other information set forth in this prospectus,including the section titled“Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results ofOperation”and our consolidated financial statements and relate
125、d notes.If any of these risks actually occur,our subsidiaries business,financial condition,results of operations or cash flowcould be materially and adversely affected,which could cause the trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares to decline,resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment.
126、The risksdescribed below are not the only ones that we face.Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect us and our subsidiaries business.You shouldonly consider investing in our Class A Ordinary Shares if you can bear the risk of losing your entire
127、 investment.Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry A significant amount of our revenue is generated from our existing long-term customers;thus,our inability to retain and maintain a good relationship with our existing customers canhave a material adverse effect on our business and financial res
128、ults.As of the date of this prospectus,our main line of revenue is generated from providing security services by monitoring properties,assets and building systems under 24/7 surveillance,ensuringsecurity and business efficiency for our customers.A significant driver of our growth is our recurring re
129、venue business in which customers who contracted to purchase our products and servicesand are required to pay monthly fees.As such,our ability to maintain our existing significant customer base is important to our long-term profitability.For the fiscal year ended December 31,2022,Ceva Logistics Sing
130、apore Pte Ltd and JTC Corporation each represented approximately 10%of our total net revenues,the loss or material reduction of business,either due to a reductionin demand from one or more of our significant customers,such as industrial and commercial customers,or our inability to timely meet any el
131、evated level of customer demand for variousreasons,the lack of success of sales initiatives or changes in customer preferences or loyalties for our products and services related to any such significant customer could have a materialadverse impact on our business.This requires that we minimize our ra
132、te of customer disconnects,or attrition,which can increase as a result of factors such as problems experienced with ourproduct or service quality,customer service,customer non-pay,unfavorable general economic conditions,and the preference for lower pricing of competitors products and services over o
133、urs.Ifattrition rates were to rise significantly,we may be required to accelerate the depreciation and amortization expense for,or to impair,certain of our assets,including with respect to customerrelationships,which would cause a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of ope
134、rations.We currently report our financial results under IFRS,which differs in certain significant respect from U.S.generally accepted accounting principles.We report our financial statements under IFRS.There have been and there may in the future be certain significant differences between IFRS and Un
135、ited States generally accepted accountingprinciples,or U.S.GAAP,including differences related to revenue recognition,intangible assets,share-based compensation expense,income tax and earnings per share.As a result,our financialinformation and reported earnings for historical or future periods could
136、be significantly different if they were prepared in accordance with U.S.GAAP.In addition,we do not intend to provide areconciliation between IFRS and U.S.GAAP unless it is required under applicable law.As a result,you may not be able to meaningfully compare our financial statements under IFRS with t
137、hosecompanies that prepare financial statements under U.S.GAAP.Our independent registered public accounting firm expressed substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for the fiscal year ended December 31,2022.Ourability to continue as a going concern requires that we obta
138、in sufficient funding to finance our operations.As of December 31,2022,the Companys operating losses raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.This indicates the existence of a materialuncertainty which may cast significant doubt over our ability to continue a
139、s a going concern.Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our profit generating operations in thefuture and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due.2025/1/8 15:19sec.gov/A

141、n.The Companys ability to continue as a going concern isdependent upon the Companys profit generating operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal businessoperations when they become due.If we are unable to co
142、ntinue in operational existence for the foreseeable future,we may be unable to discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business and adjustments may have to bemade to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realized other than in the normal course of business and at amounts which c
143、ould differ significantly from the amounts at which they arecurrently recorded in the statement of financial position.In addition,we may have to include adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets,liabilities,and reported expenses.No such adjustments have been made to these fina
144、ncial statements.If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern,investors or other financingsources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable term
145、s or at all.Further,if we cannot continue as a going concern,we may be forced to discontinueoperations and liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our audited financial statements,which would cause our shareholders to lose all or apart of their i
146、nvestment.132025/1/8 15:19sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2001794/000121390024109747/ea0224735-f1a4_concorde.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2001794/000121390024109747/ea0224735-f1a4_concorde.htm28/378 We have substantial customer concentration,with a limited number of customers accounting for
147、 a substantial portion of our recent revenues.Historically,we have derived a significant portion of our revenues from our top five customers.For the six months ended June 30,2024,our top two customers,Peoples Association at OneTampines Hub and Peoples Association at OnePunggol accounted for approxim
148、ately 6%and 6%of our total revenue,respectively.For the six months ended June 30,2023,our top twocustomers,Singapore University of Technology and Peoples Association at OnePunggol accounted for approximately 10%and 8%of our total revenue,respectively.For the fiscal year endedDecember 31,2023,our top
149、 two customers,Singapore University of Technology and Design and Peoples Association at OnePunggol accounted for approximately 8%and 7%of our totalrevenue,respectively.In the fiscal year ended December 31,2022,our top five customers accounted for approximately 36%of our revenue.Specifically,our top
150、five customers contributedapproximately 10%,10%,6%,5%,and 5%of our total revenue,respectively.There are inherent risks whenever a large percentage of total revenues are concentrated on a limited number of customers.It is not possible for us to predict the future level of demand for ourservices that
151、will be generated by these customers.In addition,revenues from these larger customers may fluctuate from time to time based on the commencement and completion of projects,the timing of which may be affected by market conditions or other facts,some of which may be outside of our control.Further,some
152、of our contracts with these larger customers permit them toterminate our services at any time(subject to notice and certain other provisions).If any of these customers experience declining or delayed sales due to market,economic or competitiveconditions,we could be pressured to reduce the prices we
153、charge for our services which could have an adverse effect on our margins and financial position,and could negatively affect ourrevenues and results of operations and/or trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.If any of these largest customers terminates our services,such termination would nega
154、tively affect ourrevenues and results of operations and/or trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares.If we fail to attract,retain and engage appropriately qualified employees,including employees in key positions,our operations and profitability may be harmed.In addition,changes inmarket compensat
155、ion rates may adversely affect our profitability.One of the key products we offer is a suite of smart security solutions called“I-Guarding Services”.The first of these solutions is our patented IFS,a mobile vehicular platform providingsecurity and facility maintenance services.Our I-Guarding Service
156、s offer high-quality and advanced technological products and services for our customers and require a highly trained andengaged workforce.As a result,we rely on our ability to attract,train and retain sufficient numbers of qualified employees.Specifically,because employees become more productive and
157、 skillfulas they gain experience,market demand for such employees will become more competitive and retaining those individuals is very important for our success,especially as we expand and growour market.Further,failure to recruit or retain qualified employees in the future may impair our efficiency
158、 and effectiveness and our ability to pursue growth opportunities.A significant amountof turnover of our executive team or other employees in key positions,such as Chief Executive Officer,Chief Financial Officer,and Chief Operating Officer may negatively impact ouroperations.Factors that affect our
159、ability to maintain sufficient numbers of qualified employees include,for example,employee engagement,our reputation,unemployment rates,competitionfrom other employers,availability of qualified personnel and our ability to offer appropriate compensation and benefit packages.If we are unable to attra
160、ct,train and retain sufficient numbers ofqualified employees,our business,financial condition,cash flows or results of operations could be adversely affected.We operate in a competitive labor market and there is a risk that market increases in compensation and employer-provided benefits could have a
161、 material adverse effect on our profitability.Wemay also be subject to continued market pressure to increase employee hourly wage rates and increased cost pressure on employer-provided benefits.Our need to implement correspondingadjustments within our labor model and compensation and benefit package
162、s could have a material adverse impact to the profitability of our business.A critical part of our success was driven by introducing and providing innovative and cost-saving security services.If our new products and services are not successful,it could have amaterial adverse effect on our business.A
163、 critical part of our business success was driven by introducing and providing innovative and cost-saving security services for our customers.As of the date of this prospectus,we are offeringproducts and services including I-Guarding Services,Man-Guarding Services,Consultancy and Training Services,e
164、tc.To stay competitive in the market,we believe we must continue todevelop and commercialize new products and services that meet the varied and evolving needs of our customers in order to continue to grow our business.While we devote significant effort andresources to the research and development of
165、 new products,we cannot guarantee the new products and services we may launch in the future will be well received by our customers.In addition,2025/1/8 15:19sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2001794/000121390024109747/ea0224735-f1a4_concorde.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2001794/00012139002410

167、an our investment.Investment in a product or service could divert our attention and resources from other projectsthat become more commercially viable in the market.We also cannot provide any assurance that any new product or service will be accepted by the market.In addition,new products andservices
168、 may present new and difficult technological and intellectual property challenges that may subject us to claims or complaints if our customers experience service failures or other qualityissues.To the extent our new products and services are not successful,it could have a material adverse effect on
169、our business,financial condition,cash flow or results of operations.142025/1/8 15:19sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2001794/000121390024109747/ea0224735-f1a4_concorde.htmhttps:/www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2001794/000121390024109747/ea0224735-f1a4_concorde.htm30/378 The proper and efficient functioni
170、ng of our computer,data backup,information technology,telecom and processing systems,and our monitoring stations are essential to our business.Our central monitoring facilities depend on the proper and efficient functioning of our computer,data backup,information technology,telecom and processing sy
171、stems,and other platforms.Ifthere is a catastrophic event,natural disaster,security breach,negligent or intentional act by an employee or other extraordinary event,the malfunctioning of our information technology systemcould cause us unable to respond to emergencies on a timely manner.Furthermore,be
172、cause computer and data backup and processing systems are susceptible to malfunctions and interruptions,we cannot guarantee that we will not experience service failures in the future.A significant or large-scale malfunction or interruption of any computer or data backup and processing systemcould ad
173、versely affect our ability to keep our operations running efficiently and respond to alarm system signals.If a malfunction results in a wider or sustained disruption,it could have amaterial adverse effect on our reputation,business,financial condition,cash flows or results of operations.Product defe
174、cts or shortfalls in customer service may damage our reputation as a high-quality security service provider.The success of our business depends on our reputation and ability to maintain good relationships with our customers,suppliers,and local regulators,among others.Our reputation may beharmed eith
175、er through product defects or shortfalls in customer service.Customers generally judge our performance through their interactions with staff at our monitoring and customer carecenters,and field installation and service technicians,as well as their day-to-day interactions with our products.Any failur
176、e to meet customers expectations in such customer service areas couldcause an increase in attrition rates or make it difficult to obtain new customers.Any harm to our reputation or customer relationships caused by the actions of our personnel,or third-partyproduct or service providers or any other f
177、actors could have a material adverse effect on our business,financial condition,results of operations,and cash flows.In addition,our products andservices may contain undetected defects in the software,infrastructure,third-party components or processes.If these solutions fail for any reason,including
178、 due to defects in our equipment,software,a carrier outage or user error,we could be subject to liability for such failures and our business could suffer.As a security service provider,we are exposed to greater risk of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failure,than may be inherent i
179、n other businesses.The nature of the products and services we provide potentially exposes us to greater risks of liability for employee acts or omissions or system failures than may be inherent in other businesses.If customers believe that they incurred losses as a result of our action or inaction,t
180、he customers,or their insurers,could in the future bring claims against us.In addition,there can be noassurance that we are adequately insured for these risks.Certain of our insurance policies may limit or prohibit insurance coverage for punitive or certain other types of damages or liabilityarising
181、 from gross negligence.If significant uninsured damages are assessed against us,the resulting liability could have a material adverse effect on our business,financial condition,cashflows or results of operations.A disruption in the operation of our monitoring facilities or customer care resources co
182、uld materially adversely affect our business.A disruption in our ability to provide security monitoring services or otherwise provide ongoing customer care to our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business.Adisruption could occur for many reasons,including fire,natural disasters,
183、weather,and the effects of climate change(such as sea level rise,drought,flooding,wildfires,and increased stormseverity),health epidemics or pandemics,transmission interruption,extended power outages,human or other error,malicious acts,provider preferences regarding the signals that gettransmitted,g
184、overnment actions,war,terrorism,sabotage,or other conflicts,or as a result of disruptions to internal and external networks or third party transmission lines.Monitoring andcustomer care could also be disrupted by information systems and network-related events or cybersecurity attacks,such as compute
185、r hacking,computer viruses,worms,or other malicioussoftware,distributed denial of service attacks,malicious social engineering,or other destructive or disruptive activities that could also cause damage to our properties,equipment,and data.Afailure of our back-up procedures or a disruption affecting
186、monitoring facilities could disrupt our ability to provide security monitoring or customer care services to our customers.If weexperience such disruptions,we may experience customer dissatisfaction and potential loss of confidence,and liabilities to customers or other third parties,each of which cou
187、ld harm ourreputation and impact future revenues.We could also be subject to claims or litigation with respect to losses caused by such disruptions.Our insurance may not be sufficient to fully cover ourlosses or may not cover a particular event at all.Any such disruptions or outcomes could have a ma

190、ing multinational,regional and small,local companies.As we plan to expand beyond the Singaporean market,such as North America,Malaysia,and Australia,we will face increasing competition from internet service providers,large technology companies,singular experience companies,industrial andsmart hardwa
191、re companies,and others that may have greater capital and resources than us.We also face competition from large residential security companies that have or may have greatercapital and other resources than we do.Competitors that are larger in scale and have greater resources may benefit from greater
192、economies of scale and other lower costs that permit them tooffer more favorable terms to consumers(including lower service costs)than we offer,causing such consumers to choose to enter into contracts with such competitors.These competitors mayalso benefit from greater name recognition and superior
193、advertising,marketing,promotional and other resources.To the extent that such competitors utilize any competitive advantages inmarkets where our business is more highly concentrated,the negative impact on our business may increase over time.In addition to potentially reducing the number of new custo
194、mers we areable to originate,increased competition could also result in increased customers acquisition costs and higher attrition rates that would negatively impact us over time.The benefit offered tolarger competitors from economies of scale and other lower costs may be magnified by an economic do
195、wnturn in which customers put a greater emphasis on lower cost products or services.Inaddition,we face competition from regional competitors that concentrate their capital and other resources in targeting local markets.To stay competitive,we focus on quality,innovation,expertise,effective channels t
196、o market,breadth of product offering and price.We may be unable to effectively compete on all these bases.If we are unable to anticipate evolving trends in the market or the timing and scale of our competitors activities and initiatives,the demand for our products and services could be negativelyimp
197、acted.In addition,we compete in an industry that is experiencing the convergence of mechanical,electronic and digital products.Technology and innovation play significant roles in thecompetitive landscape.Our success depends,in part,upon the research,development and implementation of new technologies
198、 and products including obtaining,maintaining and enforcingnecessary intellectual property protections.Securing and maintaining key partnerships and alliances,recruiting and retaining highly skilled and qualified employee talent and having access totechnologies,services,intellectual property and sol
199、utions developed by others will play a significant role in our ability to effectively compete.The continual development of new technologiesby existing and new competitors,including non-traditional competitors with significant resources,could adversely affect our ability to sustain operating margins

227、on extracting royalties and settlements by enforcing intellectual property rights and against whom our patents may therefore provide little or no deterrence or protection.Regardless of their merits,intellectual property claims divert the attention of our personnel and are often time-consuming and ex
228、pensive.In addition,to the extent claims against us aresuccessful,we may have to pay substantial monetary damages or discontinue or modify certain products or services that are found to infringe another partys rights or enter into licensingagreements with costly royalty payments.Defending against cl
229、aims of infringement,misappropriation or other violations or being deemed to be infringing,misappropriating or otherwiseviolating the intellectual property rights of others could impair our ability to innovate,develop,distribute and sell our current and planned products and services.Although third p
230、arties may offer a license to their technology or other intellectual property,the terms of any offered license may not be acceptable,and the failure to obtain a license or the costsassociated with any license could cause our business,financial condition and results of operations to be materially and
231、 adversely affected.In addition,some licenses may be non-exclusive,andtherefore our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to us.If a third party does not offer us a license to its technology or other intellectual property on reasonable terms,or at all,we could be enjoined from
232、continued use of such intellectual property.As a result,we may be required to develop alternative,non-infringing technology,which could requiresignificant time(during which we could be unable to continue to offer our affected products,subscriptions or services),effort,and expense and may ultimately
233、not be successful.Furthermore,asuccessful claimant could secure a judgment or we may agree to a settlement that prevents us from distributing certain products,providing certain subscriptions or performing certain servicesthat requires us to pay substantial damages,royalties or other fees.Any of thes
234、e events could harm our business,financial condition and results of operations.Our inability to acquire necessary intellectual property or adequately protect our intellectual property could adversely affect our business and results of operation.Our intellectual property,including our patents,tradema
235、rks,copyrights,trade secrets and other proprietary rights,constitutes a significant part of our value.Our success depends,in part,on ourability to protect our proprietary technology,brands and other intellectual property against dilution,infringement,misappropriation and competitive pressure by defe
236、nding our intellectualproperty rights.To protect our intellectual property rights,we rely on a combination of patent,trademark,copyright and trade secret laws and a combination of confidentiality procedures,contractual provisions and other methods,all of which offer only limited protection.In additi
237、on,we make efforts to acquire rights to intellectual property necessary for our operations.However,there can be no assurance that these measures will be successful in any given case,particularly in those countries where the laws do not protect our proprietary rights as rigorously.We own a portfolio
238、of issued patents that relate to our security product and services utilized in our business.We may file additional patent applications in the future.The process of obtainingpatent protection is expensive and time-consuming,and we may not be able to prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applica
239、tions at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner all the waythrough to the successful issuance of a patent.We may choose not to seek patent protection for certain innovations and may choose not to pursue patent protection in certain jurisdictions.Inaddition,issuance of a patent does not guarantee th

247、 rights inpotential inventions and other intellectual property created within the scope of their employment(or,with respect to consultants and service providers,their engagement to develop suchintellectual property),but we cannot assure you that we have adequately protected our rights in every such
248、agreement or that we have executed an agreement with every such party.Finally,inorder to benefit from the protection of patents and other intellectual property rights,we must monitor and detect infringement,misappropriation or other violations of our intellectual propertyrights and pursue infringeme
249、nt,misappropriation or other claims in certain circumstances in relevant jurisdictions,all of which are costly and time-consuming.As a result,we may not be able toobtain adequate protection or to effectively enforce our issued patents or other intellectual property rights.In addition to patents and
250、registered trademarks,we rely on trade secret rights,copyrights and other rights to protect our unpatented proprietary intellectual property and technology.Despite ourefforts to protect our proprietary technologies and our intellectual property rights,unauthorized parties,including our employees,con
251、sultants,or service providers,may attempt to copy aspectsof our products or obtain and use our trade secrets or other confidential information.We generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties that have access toour material confidential information,and generall
252、y limits access to and distribution of our proprietary information and proprietary technology through certain procedural safeguards.Theseagreements may not effectively prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of our intellectual property or technology,could be breached or otherwise may not provide mea
253、ningful protection for ourtrade secrets and know-how related to the design,manufacture or operation of our products and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure.We cannotassure you that the steps taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our intellectual p
254、roperty or technology or infringement of our intellectual property rights.Competitors may independentlydevelop technologies or products that are substantially equivalent or superior to our solutions or that inappropriately incorporate our proprietary technology into their products or they may hireou
255、r former employees who may misappropriate our proprietary technology or misuse our confidential information.In addition,if we expand the geography of our service offerings,the laws ofsome foreign countries where we may do business in the future do not protect intellectual property rights and technol
256、ogy to the same extent as the laws of Singapore,and these countries maynot enforce these laws as diligently as government agencies and private parties in Singapore.From time to time,legal action by us may be necessary to enforce our patents and other intellectual property rights,to protect our trade
257、 secrets,to determine the validity and scope of theintellectual property rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement,misappropriation or invalidity.Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources andcould negatively affect our business,operating results
258、and financial condition.If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and technology,we may find ourselves at a competitivedisadvantage to others who need not incur the additional expense,time and effort required to create the innovative products that have enabled us to be successful to date
259、.Unauthorized use of our brand names by third parties,and the expenses incurred in developing and preserving the value of our brand names,may materially adversely affect our business.Our brand names are critical to our success.Unauthorized use of our brand names by third parties may materially adver
260、sely affect our business and reputation,including the perceived qualityand reliability of our products and services.We rely on patents,trademark law,company brand name protection policies,and agreements with our employees,customers,business partners,andothers to protect the value of our brand names.
261、Despite our precautions,we cannot provide assurance that those procedures are sufficiently effective to protect against unauthorized third-partyuse of our brand names.Third parties may use our brand names to engage in fraudulent activities,including unauthorized telemarketing conducted in our names
262、to induce our existing customersto switch to competing service providers,lead generation activities for competitors,and obtaining personally identifiable or personal financial information.Third parties sometimes use ournames and trademarks,or other confusingly similar variations thereof,in other con
263、texts that may impact our brands.We may not be successful in detecting,investigating,preventing,orprosecuting all unauthorized third-party use of our brand names.Future litigation with respect to such unauthorized use could also result in substantial costs and diversion of our resources.These factor
264、s could materially adversely affect our reputation,business,financial condition,results of operations,and cash flows.We may be subject to class action and other lawsuits which may harm our business and results of operations.We may be subject to litigation involving alleged violations of privacy,cons

277、to the safety of our customers and success of our business,and failure to maintain the security of our information andtechnology networks could damage our brand reputation and adversely affect our business.We rely on information technology networks and systems,including the internet,to monitor and m
278、aintain security of the properties that we serve.If we experience disruption or if there aresecurity breaches of our information and technology networks,we may be unable to detect irregularities and emergencies that could occur on the properties we have contracted to protect.Suchfailure could expose
279、 us to substantial economic and legal liability.In addition,we also process,transmit and store electronic information and,in the normal course of our business,we collectand retain certain information pertaining to our distributors,customers,partners and employees,including personal information.If se
280、curity breaches in connection with the delivery of our solutions allow unauthorized third parties to access any of this data or obtain control of our systems,our reputation,business,financialcondition,cash flows and results of operations could be harmed.The legal,regulatory and contractual environme
281、nt surrounding information security,privacy and credit card fraud is constantly evolving and companies that collect and retain such informationare under increasing attack by cyber-criminals around the world.Further,as the regulatory focus on privacy issues continues to increase and worldwide laws an
282、d regulations concerning theprotection of data and personal information expand and become more complex,these potential risks to our business will intensify.A significant actual or potential theft,loss,fraudulent use ormisuse of distributors,customers,employee or other personally identifiable data,wh

300、s and use in ourproducts and services to perform key functions and provide critical functionality.With regard to licensed software technology,we are,to a certain extent,dependent upon the ability of thirdparties to maintain,enhance or develop their software and services on a timely and cost-effectiv
301、e basis,to meet industry technological standards and innovations to deliver software and servicesthat are free of defects or security vulnerabilities,and to ensure their software and services are free from disruptions or interruptions.Further,these third-party services and software licensesmay not a
302、lways be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.If our agreements with third-party software or services vendors are not renewed or the third-party software or services become obsolete,fail to function properly,are incompatible with futureversions of our products or services,are d
303、efective or otherwise fail to address our needs,there is no assurance that we would be able to replace the functionality provided by the third-partysoftware or services with software or services from alternative providers.Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial con
304、dition,cash flows or results of operations.Reliance on external security vendors may increase our operational and financial risks.Our Company increasingly relies on external security vendors to supply and deploy security personnel to meet the specific needs of our customers.This reliance is due,in p
305、art,to fluctuatingdemand and the operational flexibility these vendors offer.However,outsourcing security personnel carries several operational and financial risks.External vendors may have differentstandards for training,oversight,and compliance,potentially impacting the consistency and quality of
306、our security services.This reduced control can lead to lapses in service quality,compliance issues,and reputational risks if vendors fail to meet customer expectations or our internal standards.Additionally,as external vendor fees and labor costs fluctuate,our dependenceon outsourced security guards
307、 could lead to increased operational costs,adversely affecting our profit margins and financial stability.The need to subcontract security personnel may also reflect challenges in customer adoption of our technology solutions,which are designed to reduce reliance on manual labor and improveefficienc
308、y.As digitalization of security services progresses,customers who resist these changes or prefer traditional,labor-intensive security methods may opt for services that are lessdependent on technology,potentially impacting our competitive position in the market.If our efforts to drive customer adopti
309、on of technology-based solutions are unsuccessful,or if resistanceto technological integration remains high,our ability to maintain and grow our customer base could be compromised,affecting both our business model and financial results.The loss or changes to our senior management could disrupt our b

321、e assault came on a Jewish holiday,50 years after the Egypt-Syria surprise attack that sparked the 1973 Yom Kippur War.The attacks scope and lethality against Israel have noprecedent in the 16 years Hamas has controlled Gaza,and the nature of the violence stunned Israelis.Since the attack,Israels Pr
322、ime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared war againstHamas.Israel has initiated air strikes and reportedly localized raids,but the questions of whether it will launch a ground assault,and,if it does,how extensive such a ground assault might be,loom large.The Israel Defense Forces has said it plan
323、s a wide-ranging offensive against Hamas,including coordinated attacks by land,air,and sea.We are actively monitoring the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Gaza situations and assessing their impact on our business,but to date have not experienced any material impact.We have no way topredict the progress or
324、 outcome of the conflict in these afflicted countries,and any resulting government reactions,are rapidly developing and beyond our control.The extent and duration of themilitary action,sanctions and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have a substantial impact on
325、the global economy and our business for an unknown period oftime.As the adverse effects of this conflict continue to develop and potentially spread,both in Europe and Middle East and through the rest of the world,our customers,and customer behavior,may be negatively impacted,which could negatively a
326、ffect sales and sales cycles and overall demand for our products and services.Further or prolonged impacts on the global economy couldalso cause businesses to curtail business expenses,which could hinder our ability to attract new customers or result in a decrease in revenue.It is not possible to pr
327、edict the ultimate broaderconsequences of those conflict and any of the abovementioned factors could have a material adverse effect on our business,financial condition and results of operations,particularly to theextent the conflict escalates to involve additional countries,further economic sanction
328、s and wider military conflict.Any such disruptions could also magnify the impact of other risks describedin this prospectus.In addition,inflation rates globally have increased rapidly in the past several years,which may result in decreased demand for our products and services,increases in our operat
329、ing costsincluding our labor costs,constrained credit and liquidity,and volatility in financial markets.There continues to be uncertainty in the changing market and economic conditions,including thepossibility of additional measures that could be taken by central banks and other government agencies.
330、All of the abovementioned factors could have an adverse impact on our financial results.The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has and may continue to adversely affect the Companys business and results of operations.The rapid and continued spread of COVID-19,and the measures taken to slow its spread,
331、have adversely affected the Companys business and financial results.On May 5,2023,the WHOended the emergency status for COVID-19.However,COVID-19 is still a significant public health problem and may continue to challenge health systems worldwide in the long term.TheCOVID-19 pandemic negatively impac
332、ted our companys business.During the pandemic,the demand for our services changed significantly.We experienced a decrease in the demand for ourniche technology-integrated services,while more customers sought traditional security guards.Currently,COVID-19 no longer poses a threat to our business,and
333、we have adapted ourtechnology to meet the needs that arose during the pandemic.Despite the Companys efforts to manage these impacts and the positive growth in our revenue,due to the evolving situation with COVID-19,the effect on the Companys operational andfinancial performance will depend on future developments,all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict and in the future may have materia
