Monitor the effectiveness date of the registration statement and the actual pricing of the IPO. Track the company's ability to replace the lost major customer and whether revenue decline stabilizes in subsequent quarters. Watch for any PRC regulatory actions regarding CSRC filing or cybersecurity review that could delay or block the listing.

Financial Impact
IPO targeting $25 million gross proceeds; company has declining revenue trend (24.6% YoY drop in H1 2026) but stable net income.
Risk Factors

- Significant regulatory and political risks from PRC government oversight, including potential CSRC filing requirements and cybersecurity review.
- Controlling shareholder will hold ~70% voting power post-IPO, limiting minority shareholder influence.
- No VIE structure but still subject to PRC capital controls and withholding tax on dividends from PRC subsidiaries.
