14、,000,000 Ordinary Shares SOFTTO,INC.This is the initial public offering of the ordinary shares of Softto,Inc.,par value$0.0001 per share(“Ordinary Shares”).We are offering on a firm commitment basis 3,000,000ordinary shares.We expect the initial public offering price of the shares to be in the range
15、 of$4 to$6 per Ordinary Share.Prior to the completion of this offering,there has beenno public market for our Ordinary Shares.We have applied to have our Ordinary Shares listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market(“NASDAQ”).We have reserved the tradingsymbol SFTO for listing on the NASDAQ.There is no guaran
16、tee or assurance that our Ordinary Shares will be approved for listing on NASDAQ.However,we will notcomplete this offering unless we are so listed.Upon the completion of this offering,we will be a“controlled company”as defined under Nasdaq Stock Market Rules 5615(c)because Mr.Yuhao Liang,the Chairma
17、n of ourboard of directors and our Chief Executive Officer,and his spouse Luhan Wang,a director of the Board,through Liangs Family Limited,will beneficially own 58.4%of thevoting power of our total issued and outstanding shares assuming the Underwriter does not exercise its over-allotment option,or
18、56.4%of the voting power our total issued andoutstanding shares if the Underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full.As a“controlled company,”we are permitted to elect not to comply with certain corporategovernance requirements.We currently do not intend to rely on the corporate governance
19、 exemptions available to“controlled companies,”we may choose to rely on suchexemptions in the future.If we rely on these exemptions,you will not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to these corporategovernance requirements.We are an“emerging growth company
20、,”as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012,and will be subject to reduced public companyreporting requirements.Investing in our Ordinary Shares is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk.See“Risk Factors”beginning on page 12 of this prospectus for
21、adiscussion of information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase our Ordinary Shares.We are not a Chinese operating company but rather a Cayman Islands holding company without material operations and our business is conducted by our subsidiaries in Chinaand this structure in
22、volves unique risks to investors.See“Risk Factors Risks Related to Doing Business in China Changes in Chinas economic,political or socialconditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations”and“Change in Chinese laws and regulations could r
23、esult ina material and negative impact on our business operations,decrease the value of our Ordinary Shares and limit the legal protections available to you and us.”There are legal and operational risks associated with being based in and having all our operations in China.Recently,the PRC government
24、 initiated a series of regulatoryactions and statements to regulate business operations in China with little advance notice,including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market,enhancingsupervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure,
25、adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,andexpanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.On July 6,2021,the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of theState Council jointly issued an announcement to crack down on ille

36、ing personal information protection and cyber data security.On February 17,2023,the CSRC released the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Enterprises(the“New Overseas ListingRules”)with five interpretive guidelines,which took effect on March 31,2023.
37、The New Overseas Listing Rules require Chinese domestic enterprises to complete filings withrelevant governmental authorities and report related information under certain circumstances,such as:a)an issuer making an application for initial public offering and listing inan overseas market;b)an issuer
38、making an overseas securities offering after having been listed on an overseas market;c)a domestic company seeking an overseas direct orindirect listing of its assets through single or multiple acquisition(s),share swap,transfer of shares or other means.Pursuant to the New Overseas Listing Rules,dom
39、esticcompanies that seek initial public offering or listing securities overseas,both directly and indirectly,shall file with the CSRC within three working days after the submission ofoverseas offering/listing application.We have submitted initial documents in connection with this offering and our li
40、sting on the Nasdaq Capital Market to the CSRC.However,we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the review process by CSRC for such filings.Any failure by us to comply with such filing requirements under the TrialMeasures may result in an order to rectify,warnings and fines against us a
41、nd could materially hinder our ability to offer or to continue to offer our securities.Furthermore,uponthe occurrence of any of the material events specified below after an issuer has completed its offering and listed its securities on an overseas stock exchange,the issuer shallsubmit a report there
42、of to the CSRC within three working days after the occurrence and public disclosure of the event:(i)change of control;(ii)investigations or sanctionsimposed by overseas securities regulatory agencies or other competent authorities;(iii)change of listing status or transfer of listing segment;or(iv)vo
43、luntary or mandatorydelisting.The New Overseas Listing Rules stipulate the legal consequences to the companies for breaches,including failure to fulfil filing obligations or filing documentshaving false statement or misleading information or material omissions,which may result in a fine ranging from
44、 RMB 1 million to RMB 10 million,and in cases of severeviolations,the relevant responsible persons may also be barred from entering the securities market.On February 24,2023,the CSRC,the Ministry of Finance,the NationalAdministration of State Secretes Protection and the National Archives Administrat
45、ion released the Provisions on Strengthening the Confidentiality and Archives AdministrationRelated to the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies,or the Confidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions,which took effect on March31,2023.Chinese domestic enterprises seeki
46、ng to offer securities and list on overseas markets,either directly or indirectly,shall establish and improve the system ofconfidentiality and archives work,and shall complete approval and filing procedures with competent authorities,if such PRC domestic enterprises or their overseas listingentities
47、 provide or publicly disclose documents or materials involving state secrets and work secrets of state organs to relevant securities companies,securities serviceinstitutions,overseas regulatory agencies and other entities and individuals.It further stipulates that(i)providing or publicly disclosing
48、documents and materials which mayadversely affect national security or public interests,and accounting records or photocopies thereof to relevant securities companies,securities service institutions,overseasregulatory agencies and other entities and individuals shall be subject to corresponding proc
49、edures in accordance with relevant laws and regulations;and(ii)any workingpapers formed in the territory of the PRC by securities companies and securities service agencies that provide domestic enterprises with securities services relating to overseassecurities issuance and listing shall be stored i
50、n the territory of the PRC,the outbound transfer of which shall be subject to corresponding procedures in accordance withrelevant laws and regulations.As of the date of this prospectus,these new laws and guidelines have not impacted the Companys ability to conduct its business,accept foreigninvestme
51、nts,or list and trade on a U.S.or other foreign exchange except for the filing requirement with CSRC under New Overseas Listing Rules.We develop,sell anddistribute hair care,skin care,personal care and beauty products in China.We are not cyberspace operators with personal information of more than 1
52、million users or activitiesthat affect or may affect national security and we dont have documents and materials which may adversely affect national security or public interests.However,there areuncertainties in the interpretation and enforcement of these new laws and guidelines,which could materiall
53、y and adversely impact our business and financial outlook,mayimpact our ability to accept foreign investments,offer our securities to investors or to list on a U.S.or other foreign exchange,and could impact our ability to conduct ourbusiness.Any change in foreign investment regulations,and other pol
54、icies in China or related enforcement actions by China government could result in a material change in ouroperations and the value of our securities and could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer our securities to investors or cause the value of our securities tosignificantl
55、y decline or be worthless.The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,or the HFCA Act,was enacted on December 18,2020.In accordance with the HFCAAct,trading in securities of any registrant on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States may be prohi
56、bited if the PCAOBdetermines that it cannot inspect or fully investigate the registrants auditor for three consecutive years beginning in 2021,and,as a result,an exchange may determine to delistthe securities of such registrant.On December 29,2022,a legislation entitled“Consolidated Appropriations A
57、ct,2023”(the“Consolidated Appropriations Act”)was signedinto law by President Biden,which has shortened the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Acts timeline for a potential trading prohibition from three years to two years,thus reducing the time period before our securities may be prohibited from
58、 trading or delisted if our auditor is unable to meet the PCAOB inspection requirement.TheCompanys auditor is headquartered in the U.S.and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(United States)(the“PCAOB”)currently has access to inspect theworking papers of our auditor and our auditor is not s
59、ubject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16,2021,which determinations were vacated onDecember 15,2022.The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and related regulations currently does not affect the Company as the Companys auditor is subject toPCAOBs inspection and investig
60、ation.See“Risk Factors The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,or the HFCA Act,and the related regulations are evolvingquickly.Further implementations and interpretations of or amendments to the HFCA Act or the related regulations,or a PCOABs determination of its lack of sufficient accessto in
61、spect our auditor,might pose regulatory risks to and impose restrictions on us because of our operations in Hong Kong and mainland China.A potential consequence isthat our ordinary shares may be delisted by the exchange.The delisting of our ordinary shares,or the threat of our ordinary shares being
62、delisted,may materially andadversely affect the value of your investment.Additionally,the inability of the PCAOB to conduct full inspections of our auditor deprives our investors of the benefits of suchinspections.”We are a holding company incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability i
63、n the Cayman Islands.As a holding company with no material operations of our own,we conduct a substantial majority of our business through our operating subsidiaries in China.Our Ordinary Shares offered in this prospectus are shares of our Cayman Islandsholding company,not the shares of our operatin
64、g subsidiaries.As a holding company,we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our PRC subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements.If any of our PRCsubsidiaries incurs debt on its own behalf in the future,the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability
65、 to pay dividends to us.However,our subsidiaries have notmade any dividends or other distributions to our holding company or any U.S.investors as of the date of this prospectus.In the future,cash proceeds raised from overseasfinancing activities,including this offering,may be transferred by us to ou
66、r PRC subsidiaries via capital contribution or shareholder loans,as the case may be.See“SelectedCondensed Consolidated Financial Schedule of the Company and Its Subsidiaries”beginning on page 8 of this prospectus and“Selected Consolidated Financial Statements”on page F-1 of this prospectus.Under exi
67、sting PRC foreign exchange regulations,payments of current account items,such as profit distributions and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions,can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange in China(“SAFE”)by complying wi
68、th certain proceduralrequirements.Therefore,our PRC subsidiaries are able to pay dividends in foreign currencies to us without prior approval from SAFE,subject to the condition that theremittance of such dividends outside of the PRC complies with certain procedures under PRC foreign exchange regulat
69、ions,such as the overseas investment registrations byour shareholders or the ultimate shareholders of the Company who are PRC residents.Approval from or registration with appropriate government authorities is,however,required where the RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of
70、 China to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of loans denominated in foreigncurrencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions.For our Hong Kong subsidiary andthe holding company(“Non-PRC Entities”),th
71、ere is no restrictions on foreign exchange for such entities and they are able to transfer cash among these entities,across bordersand to US investors.Also,there is no regulatory restrictions and limitations on the abilities of Non-PRC Entities to distribute earnings from their businesses,including
72、fromsubsidiaries to the parent company or from the holding company to the U.S.investors.However,to the extent cash/assets in the business is in PRC/Hong Kong or ourPRC/Hong Kong entity,the funds/assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of the PRC/Hong Kong due to inter
73、ventions in or the imposition ofrestrictions and limitations on the ability of us or our subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash/assets.Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to paydividends to the Company only out of their accumulated profits,if any,determined in accordance
74、 with Chinese accounting standards and regulations.In addition,oursubsidiaries in China are required to set aside at least 10%of its after-tax profits each year,if any,to fund a statutory reserve until such reserve reaches 50%of their respectiveregistered capital.Each such entity in China is also re
75、quired to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund the employee welfare fund,although the amount to beset aside,if any,is determined at the discretion of its board of directors.Although the statutory reserves can be used,among other ways,to increase the registered capital andelim
76、inate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies,the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation.See“Dividend Distribution and Cash Transfer Between the Holding Company and Subsidiaries”and“Risk FactorsRisks Related to Doing
77、Business in China Governmentalcontrol of currency conversion may limit our ability to transfer cash between us and our subsidiaries or investors including our ability to utilize our net revenues effectively andaffect the value of your investment.”As of the date of this prospectus,we do not have cash
78、 management policies and procedures in place that dictate how funds are transferred through our organization.Rather,thefunds can be transferred in accordance with the applicable PRC laws and regulations.See“Dividend Distribution and Cash Transfer Between the Holding Company andSubsidiaries”on page 3

164、nificantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors,cause the value of our securities tosignificantly decline or become worthless and could result in a material and negative impact on our business operations,including fines or penalties imposed
165、 by the relevantPRC regulatory authority,revocation our subsidiaries business licenses and suspension of their respective business operations.As a developer and seller of personal care products,based on the advice of Beijing Dacheng Law Offices,LLP(Shanghai),our PRC counsel,we do not believe that we

171、,”or the Opinions,which were made available to the public on July 6,2021.The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the administrationover illegal securities activities,and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings by Chinese companies.On February 17,2023,the CSRC released th
172、e NewOverseas Listing Rules with five interpretive guidelines,which took effect on March 31,2023.The New Overseas Listing Rules require Chinese domestic enterprises tocomplete filings with relevant governmental authorities and report related information under certain circumstances,such as:a)an issue
173、r making an application for initial publicoffering and listing in an overseas market;b)an issuer making an overseas securities offering after having been listed on an overseas market;c)a domestic company seeking anoverseas direct or indirect listing of its assets through single or multiple acquisiti

175、sting application.We have submitted initial documents in connection with this offering and our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market to theCSRC.However,we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the review process by CSRC for such filings.Any failure by us to comply with such filing requir

177、ing and listed its securities on an overseas stock exchange,the issuer shall submit a report thereof to the CSRC within three working days after the occurrence and public disclosure of the event:(i)change of control;(ii)investigationsor sanctions imposed by overseas securities regulatory agencies or
178、 other competent authorities;(iii)change of listing status or transfer of listing segment;or(iv)voluntary ormandatory delisting.The New Overseas Listing Rules stipulate the legal consequences to the companies for breaches,including failure to fulfil filing obligations or filingdocuments having false
179、 statement or misleading information or material omissions,which may result in a fine ranging from RMB 1 million to RMB 10 million,and in cases ofsevere violations,the relevant responsible persons may also be barred from entering the securities market.We are subject to the relevant filing procedures
180、 of the CSRC inconnection with our overseas offerings under the New Overseas Listing Rules,including the public offering pursuant to this registration statement.On February 24,2023,theCSRC,the Ministry of Finance,the National Administration of State Secretes Protection and the National Archives Admi
181、nistration released the Provisions on Strengthening theConfidentiality and Archives Administration Related to the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies,or the Confidentiality and ArchivesAdministration Provisions,which took effect on March 31,2023.PRC domestic enterprises se
182、eking to offer securities and list in overseas markets,either directly or indirectly,shall establish and improve the system of confidentiality and archives work,and shall complete approval and filing procedures with competent authorities,if such PRCdomestic enterprises or their overseas listing enti
183、ties provide or publicly disclose documents or materials involving state secrets and work secrets of state organs to relevantsecurities companies,securities service institutions,overseas regulatory agencies and other entities and individuals.It further stipulates that(i)providing or publicly disclos
184、ingdocuments and materials which may adversely affect national security or public interests,and accounting records or photocopies thereof to relevant securities companies,securities service institutions,overseas regulatory agencies and other entities and individuals shall be subject to corresponding
185、 procedures in accordance with relevant laws andregulations;and(ii)any working papers formed in the territory of the PRC by securities companies and securities service agencies that provide domestic enterprises withsecurities services relating to overseas securities issuance and listing shall be sto
186、red in the territory of the PRC,the outbound transfer of which shall be subject to correspondingprocedures in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.Our operating subsidiaries develop and sell personal care products in China and they are not cyberspace operatorswith personal information of mo
187、re than 1 million users or activities that affect or may affect national security and they dont have documents and materials which mayadversely affect national security or public interests.However,given the current PRC regulatory environment,it is uncertain whether we,our PRC subsidiaries,will be ab
188、le toobtain such permission or be required to obtain other permission from the PRC government to list on U.S.exchanges or offer its securities overseas,and even when suchpermission is obtained,whether it will be denied or rescinded.Although we currently have no operations in Hong Kong and Macau,lega
189、l and operational risks associated withoperating in China also apply to operations in Hong Kong and Macau.If we or our subsidiaries do not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals,inadvertentlyconclude that such permissions or approvals are not required,or applicable laws,regulations,or int
190、erpretations change and we are required to obtain such permissions orapprovals in the future,it could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors,cause the value of our securities tosignificantly decline or become worthless and could
191、 result in a material and negative impact on our business operations,including fines or penalties imposed by the relevantPRC regulatory authority,revocation our subsidiaries business licenses and suspension of their respective business operations.2 Our independent registered public accounting firm t
192、hat issues the audit report included elsewhere in this prospectus,as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in theUnited States and a firm registered with the PCAOB,is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliancewith
193、 the applicable professional standards.Our auditor is headquartered in the U.S.and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis with the last inspection in April2023 and is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16,2021,which determinations were vacated on Decembe
194、r 15,2022.The HoldingForeign Companies Accountable Act and related regulations currently does not affect the Company as the Companys auditor is subject to PCAOBs inspection andinvestigation.However,should PRC authorities obstruct or otherwise fail to facilitate the PCAOBs access in the future,the PC
195、AOB Board will consider the need to issue anew determination,and we cannot assure you whether Nasdaq or regulatory authorities would apply additional and more stringent criteria to us after considering theeffectiveness of our auditors audit procedures and quality control procedures,adequacy of perso
196、nnel and training,or sufficiency of resources,geographic reach,or experienceas it relates to our audit.If it is later determined that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely our auditor because of a position taken by an authority in aforeign jurisdiction or any other reasons,the lac
197、k of inspection could cause the trading in our securities to be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,and as a result Nasdaq may delist our securities.If our securities are unable to be listed on another securities exchange,such a delisting would substantially impair your ab
198、ilityto sell or purchase our securities when you wish to do so,and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of ourOrdinary Shares.Further,new laws and regulations or changes in laws and regulations in both the United States and China co
199、uld affect our ability to list our Ordinary Shares onNasdaq,which could materially impair the market for and market price for our securities.Dividend Distribution Our PRC operating entity receives substantially all of our revenue in RMB.Under our current corporate structure,to fund any cash and fina
200、ncing requirements,we may rely ondividend payments from WFOE.WFOE receives dividend payments from our operating subsidiaries in China.WFOE may make distribution of such payments to Softto HK asdividends.Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations,payments of current account items,such as profit
201、distributions and trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions,can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements.Therefore,WFOE is able to pay dividends in foreigncurrencies to us without prior approval from SAFE,subject t
202、o the condition that the remittance of such dividends outside of the PRC complies with certain procedures underPRC foreign exchange regulations,such as the overseas investment registrations by our shareholders who are PRC residents.Approval from or registration with appropriategovernment authorities
203、 is,however,required where the RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of China to pay capital expenses such as the repaymentof loans denominated in foreign currencies.The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current
204、account transactions.Current PRC regulations permit our PRC subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company only out of its accumulated profits,if any,determined in accordance with Chineseaccounting standards and regulations.In addition,our subsidiary in China is required to set aside at least 10%of it
205、s after-tax profits each year,if any,to fund a statutory reserveuntil such reserve reaches 50%of its registered capital.Each such entity in China is also required to further set aside a portion of its after-tax profits to fund the employeewelfare fund,although the amount to be set aside,if any,is de
206、termined at the discretion of its board of directors.Although the statutory reserves can be used,among other ways,to increase the registered capital and eliminate future losses in excess of retained earnings of the respective companies,the reserve funds are not distributable as cash dividendsexcept
207、in the event of liquidation.Under the existing laws of Hong Kong,funds from capital accounts can be repatriated and remitted overseas without restrictions,and there isno foreign exchange control imposed.According to the current tax practice of the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department,dividends paid o
208、n the Ordinary Shares would not besubject to any Hong Kong tax.As of the date of this prospectus,WFOE has not made any dividends or distributions to Softto HK,Softto HK and Softto BVI are both holding companies without actualoperations and they have not made any dividends or distribution to Softto I
209、nc,and no dividends or distributions have been made by the Company to its shareholders.We intendto keep any future earnings to re-invest in and finance the expansion of our business,and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.Under the Cayman Islands law,a
210、 Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend on its shares out of either profit or share premium amount,provided that in no circumstancesmay a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts due in the ordinary course of business.3 Cash dividends,if any,on our Ordina
211、ry Shares will be paid in U.S.dollars.If we are considered a PRC tax resident enterprise for tax purposes,any dividends we pay to ouroverseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as a result may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10.0%.Pursuant to the Arrangemen
212、tbetween the Mainland of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Tax Evasion WithRespect to Taxes On Income,or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement,the 10%withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5%,if the recipient of the
213、 relevant dividendsqualifies certain necessary requirements,including without limitation that(a)the Hong Kong project must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends;and(b)the HongKong project must directly hold no less than 25%share ownership in the PRC project during the 12 consecutive mont
214、hs preceding its receipt of the dividends.The 5%withholding tax rate,however,does not automatically apply and in current practice,a Hong Kong project must obtain a tax resident certificate from the Hong Kong taxauthority to apply for the 5%lower PRC withholding tax rate.As the Hong Kong tax authorit
215、y will issue such a tax resident certificate on a case-by-case basis,we cannotassure you that we will be able to obtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority and enjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5%under theDouble Taxation Arrangement with respect to any
216、 dividends paid by WFOE to its immediate holding company,Softto HK.As of the date of this prospectus,we have notapplied for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong tax authority.Softto HK intends to apply for the tax resident certificate if and when WFOE plans to declareand pay divi
217、dends to Softto HK.Our Competitive Strengths We believe the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors and are key drivers of our success:Comprehensive Sales and Marketing Management System.We have built an omni-channel sales for our products and manage an extensive distribution netwo

229、omer orders and sends the orders to thewarehouse manager to initiate the packing and shipping process.This process helps reduce communication costs and labor costs within the Company and reduce human errors.The ERP system accelerates the entire process from purchase receipt to order delivery,while a
