PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
AFB Limited
2,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
$0.0001 PAR VALUE PER SHARE
Prior to this Offering, no public market has existed for the common stock of AFB Limited. Upon completion of this Offering, we will attempt to have the shares quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market, also known as the “Pink Sheets,” operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. There is no assurance that the Shares will ever be quoted on the Pink Sheets. To be quoted on the Pink Open Market, a market maker must apply to make a market in our common stock. As of the date of this Prospectus, we have not made any arrangement with any market makers to quote our shares. Additionally, there is the possibility a market maker may not apply to make a market in our common stock. If this were to occur, your investment may be negatively impacted as you may be unable to sell your shares.
In this public offering we, “AFB Limited” are offering 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. The offering is being made on a self-underwritten, “best efforts” basis. There is no minimum number of shares required to be purchased by each investor. The shares offered by the Company will be sold on our behalf by our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Mr. Tak Chun Wong. There is uncertainty that we will be able to sell any of the 2,000,000 shares being offered herein by the Company. Tak Chun Wong will not receive any commissions or proceeds for selling the shares on our behalf. All of the shares being registered for sale by the Company will be sold at a fixed price of $0.05 per share for the duration of the Offering. Assuming all of the 2,000,000 shares (100%) being offered by the Company are sold, the Company will receive $100,000 in net proceeds. Assuming 1,500,000 shares (75%) being offered by the Company are sold, the Company will receive $75,000 in net proceeds. Assuming 1,000,000 shares (50%) being offered by the Company are sold, the Company will receive $50,000 in net proceeds. Assuming 500,000 shares (25%) being offered by the Company are sold, the Company will receive $25,000 in net proceeds. There is no minimum amount we are required to raise from the shares being offered by the Company and any funds received will be immediately available to us. There is no guarantee that we will sell any of the securities being offered in this offering. Additionally, there is no guarantee that this Offering will successfully raise enough funds to further our Company's business plan going forward, and additional funding avenues may be necessary.
This primary offering will terminate upon the earliest of (i) such time as all of the common stock has been sold pursuant to the registration statement or (ii) 365 days from the effective date of this Prospectus, unless extended by our directors for an additional 90 days. We may however, at any time and for any reason terminate the offering.
Currently, we have 3,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, issued and outstanding.
As of the date of this Registration Statement, Tak Chun Wong is able to control approximately 100% of the voting power of the Company. As such, Mr. Wong has the ability to control matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of organizational documents, and approval of major corporate transactions, such as a change in control, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets.

The Company estimates the costs of this offering at about $22,500. All expenses incurred in this offering are being paid for by the Company. The Company may use proceeds from this offering to pay for offering expenses.
The proceeds from the sale of the securities sold on behalf of the Company will be placed directly into the Company’s account or a designated account to be used as escrow; any investor who purchases shares will have no assurance that any monies, beside their own, will be subscribed to the prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of the securities are non-refundable, except as may be required by applicable laws.

RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus relating to our business before deciding to invest in our common stock.
This offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
We consider the following to be the material risks for an investor regarding this offering. Our company should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount.
An investment in our common stock is highly speculative, and should only be made by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this report before deciding to become a holder of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be negatively affected to a significant extent.
Risks Relating to Our Company and Our Industry
Our business and reputation could be at risk if we do not deliver high-quality support.
Our clients rely on our team to facilitate their subscription and customer-related queries. Providing high-quality support is essential for the renewal and expansion of our agreements with existing clients. This commitment to exceptional support gains heightened importance as we extend our business and focus on new customers, particularly in the mid-market and large enterprise sectors. A failure to promptly resolve issues and deliver effective ongoing support may have adverse effects on our capacity to retain and attract both existing and prospective clients, potentially impacting our reputation in the process.
Competition from both small and large, established industry participants and new market entrants may negatively affect our current and future results of operations.
We face vigorous competition from companies throughout Asia, and in Hong Kong specifically, including small and large scale companies alike who offer similar or overlapping services to those we offer. Some established competitors have greater resources and better accessibility than us, therefore they may be able to adapt quicker to changes in customer requirements. As a result of this intense competition there may be upward pressure on us to promote and advertise our services. Many competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and public relations resources. Our revenue may be harmed to the extent we may not be able to compete successfully against competitors. There can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to successfully compete with current competitors or that we will not face greater competition from other e-commerce industry service providers. If we are unable to continue to compete effectively, it could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our e-commerce business currently lacks trademark, patent, or copyright protection for our intellectual property.
Failure to safeguard our intellectual property could devalue our brand and other intangible assets, potentially harming our business. We have not pursued trademark, patent, or copyright protection on any of our logos or other related branding material. Third parties, knowingly or unknowingly, might infringe on our intellectual property rights, and challenges to these rights may arise.
Furthermore, not all countries where we may operate offer effective intellectual property protection. In such cases, we might need to invest significant time and resources to prevent infringement or assert our rights.

A decline in general economic condition could lead to reduced consumer demand and could negatively impact our business operation and financial condition, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our operating and financial performance may be adversely affected by a variety of factors that influence the general economy. Consumer spending habits, including spending on e-commerce platforms, are affected by, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, levels of unemployment, salaries and wage rates, prevailing interest rates, income tax rates and policies, consumer confidence and consumer perception of economic conditions. In addition, consumer purchasing patterns may be influenced by consumers’ disposable income. In the event of an economic slowdown, consumer spending habits could be adversely affected, and as a result, our potential clients may not generate the revenue to engage our services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The success of our business relies heavily on brand image, reputation, and product quality.
It is important that we maintain and increase the image and reputation of our existing brand and the client websites that we create. Concerns about quality, even when unsubstantiated, could be harmful to our image and reputation of our brand. Deterioration to our brand equity may be difficult to combat or reverse and could have a material effect on our business and financial results.
If we were to lose the services of our sole officer and director, Mr. Tak Chun Wong, we may not be able to execute our business plan.
We currently depend on the continued services and performance of our sole officer and director, Mr. Tak Chun Wong. His leadership has played an integral role in our company. The loss of our sole officer and director could disrupt our operations and have an adverse effect on our ability to grow our business. In addition, competition for senior executives and key personnel in our industry is intense, and we may be unable to retain our senior executives and key personnel or attract and retain new senior executives and key personnel in the future, in which case our business may be severely disrupted.
We are subject to risks arising from the recent global outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has spread across the globe and we believe it remains a factor in impacting worldwide economic activity. A pandemic, including COVID-19, or other public health epidemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, suppliers, manufacturers and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to the spread of the disease or shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 could have on our business, the spread of COVID-19 could disrupt the results of our clients’ operations and other related activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and our own results of operations. COVID-19 has also had an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could impair our ability to raise capital when needed. While we have not yet experienced any disruptions in our business or other negative consequences relating to COVID-19, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
The pandemic outbreak of another unknown virus may adversely affect our customers.
Further, such risks as described above could also adversely affect our customers' financial condition, resulting in reduced spending on the services offered by our Company. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Table of Contents
The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert our management's attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and will be required to comply with the applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, making some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and more demanding on our resources. Among other things, the Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result, management's attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business and results of operations. We may need to hire more employees to comply with these requirements in the future, which will increase our costs and expenses.
We may require additional capital to support growth, and such capital might not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.
In the future we may require additional funds, beyond those generated by this offering, to respond to business challenges and or advance our growth. Accordingly, we may need to engage in public or private equity, equity-linked or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, including the ability to pay dividends. This may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business could be adversely affected.
Our inability to successfully operate as a public company could cause you to lose part of or your entire investment.
We do not have experience in complying with the various rules and regulations, which are required of a public company. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations, which are required of a public company. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to operate as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment.
We anticipate that our quarterly financial results will exhibit fluctuations.
The variability in our revenue and operational outcomes from one quarter to another is expected to be substantial due to various factors, including shifts in:
| · | General economic conditions; |
| · | The number of clients utilizing our business consulting services; |
| · | Our ability to retain and expand our client base, as well as attract new clients; |
| · | Administrative expenditures; |
| · | Advertising and other marketing outlays. |
Because of the fluctuation resulting from these and other variables, our future quarterly operational results may fall short of the expectations of both public market analysts and investors.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately; any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the future trading price and or market price of our common stock.
Effective internal control is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. As a result, our small size and any current internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operation and access to capital. Although we have established written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements, such requirements and application policies may change, and the learning curve may render us having a lack of formal process and timeline for closing the books and records at the end of each reporting period and such weaknesses restrict our ability to timely gather, analyze and report information relative to the financial statements. Our management is composed of only one individual at this time resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff and this will impact the bottom line of our earnings. Any and all efforts to hire additional staff to remedy this deficiency are in the planning stages, and have not yet been determined with any level of specificity.

US investors may have difficulty enforcing judgments against our Company and Officers.
We are a Nevada corporation and most of our assets are and will continue to be located outside of the United States. Almost all of our operations will and are already conducted in Hong Kong. In addition, our sole officer and director is a national and resident of a country other than the United States, with the majority of his assets outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon them. It may also be difficult to enforce court judgments on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against our Company and our officers and directors, since they are not residents in the United States. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Hong Kong or other Asian countries would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts.
If we fail to obtain the capital necessary to fund our operations, our financial results, financial condition and our ability to continue as a going concern will be adversely affected and we will have to scale back, or possibly even cease, operating activities. Our Auditor has issued a going concern opinion regarding our business activities.
The accompanying financial statements, included herein, have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $19,518 for the period ended November 30, 2023 resulting in accumulated deficit of $19,518 and a working capital deficit of $16,518.
The Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve profitability and the ability to acquire funding through this public offering. If funding from this or any future public offerings are insufficient, then the Company shall be forced to rely on the financial support from its controlling shareholder.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements herein are issued.
The JOBS Act will allow the Company to postpone the date by which it must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC.
The JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies”. The Company meets the definition of an “emerging growth company” and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:
-be exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that its independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting;
-be exempt from the "say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the "say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding shareholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of Chief Executive Officers;
-be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and
-be exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report on the financial statements.
Although the Company is still evaluating the JOBS Act, it currently intends to take advantage of all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”. The Company has elected not to opt out of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, the Company may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers, which would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company. As a result, investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected.
Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time are we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, being required to provide only two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospects.
We are an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act of 2012, and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market or demand for our common stock and the perceived value of our common stock may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million.

Risks Relating to the Company’s Securities
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock.
We have no intention to declare or pay any cash dividend on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
There may be future sales of our securities or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We are generally not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of common stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock after this offering or the perception that such sales could occur.
Our securities lack a pre-existing market, and the emergence of an active trading market is uncertain, potentially causing our common stock to trade below the offering price set herein.
Prior to this offering, our common stock has not been publicly traded or quoted on any recognized exchange or quotation system. The offering price of our common stock may not necessarily reflect the market price of our common stock following this offering. If you acquire shares of our common stock, there is no assurance that you will be able to resell them at or above the offering price set herein. The development of an active trading market for our common stock, if it occurs at all, and its level of liquidity are and will remain unpredictable. It is possible that an active public market may not emerge or may not be sustained following this offering. In the event that an active public market does not materialize or is not sustained, you may encounter challenges when attempting to sell your common stock, either at an attractive price or at any price at all.
As a result of Mr. Tak Chun Wong’s voting control of the Company, he has the ability to control virtually all business matters, and matters which require a vote of shareholders.
Mr. Wong owns and controls approximately 100% of the voting control of the company. As a result, Mr. Wong has the ability to control matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of organizational documents, and approval of major corporate transactions, such as a change in control, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets. Consequently, shareholders will not be able to materially influence matters that require a vote of shareholders, and there is no possibility that the company may be taken over by a third party given Mr. Wong’s current equity stake in the Company.
A large number of shares issued in this offering may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock.
A large number of shares issued in this offering may be sold in the market following this offering, which may depress the market price of our common stock, if a public market for our common stock is to develop. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market following this offering could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If there are more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price or perceived value of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares of common stock and sellers remain willing to sell the shares. All of the securities issued in the offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.
In the future, we may choose to issue additional shares of our common stock, potentially leading to dilution for our current stockholders.
Our Certificate of Incorporation permits the issuance of up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock, with 3,000,000 shares already issued and outstanding as of the date of this filing. Issuing additional common shares in the future could result in a significant reduction in the ownership percentage of our common shares held by our existing stockholders. We may determine the value of any common stock issued in the future using discretionary criteria. The issuance of common stock for various purposes such as future services, acquisitions, or other corporate activities may result in the dilution of the value of shares held by our investors and could potentially have an adverse impact on any trading market that may develop for our common stock.

Risks Relating to this Offering
Investors cannot withdraw funds once invested and will not receive a refund.
Investors do not have the right to withdraw invested funds. Subscription payments will be paid to AFB Limited, and held in our, or a designated bank account to be used as escrow, if the Subscription Agreements are in good order and the Company accepts the investor’s investment. Therefore, once an investment is made, investors will not have the right of using the funding or requesting a refund.
We may be subject to the penny stock rules which will make shares of our common stock more difficult to sell.
We may be subject now and in the future to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules if our shares of common stock sell below $5.00 per share. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The penny stock rules are burdensome and may reduce purchases of any offerings and reduce the trading activity for shares of our common stock. As long as our shares of common stock are subject to the penny stock rules, the holders of such shares of common stock may find it more difficult to sell their securities.
We are selling the shares of this offering without an underwriter and may be unable to sell any shares.
This offering is self-underwritten, which means that we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares. We intend to sell our shares through our Chief Executive Officer, Tak Chun Wong, who will receive no commissions. There is no guarantee that he will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless he is successful in selling all of the shares of our Company’s offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement our business plan.
We may require additional funding to satisfy our future capital needs, and future financing strategies may adversely affect holders of our common stock.
Our operations may require additional funding. We do not know whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. To the extent we are successful in raising additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders are likely to experience substantial dilution. Any additional equity securities we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of stock. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and or other arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights that may be perceived to be disfavorable to us. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain adequate capital funding in the future to continue operations and implement our strategy. As a result of these uncertainties, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Mr. Tak Chun Wong, our Chief Executive Officer and the sole Member of our Board of Directors, has no prior experience in conducting a best-efforts offering. This lack of experience raises the possibility that we may not be able to secure the necessary funds to initiate our business operations. Additionally, it's important to note that a best-efforts offering does not impose a minimum fundraising requirement.
Consequently, there exists the risk that we may not raise adequate funds to support our planned operations, which could have a detrimental impact on our business, potentially leading to a significant adverse effect on your investment. The inability to effectively execute a best-efforts offering might result in a complete loss of your investment in our company.

We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds,” and investors will not have the opportunity as part of their investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our management may not apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that ultimately increase the value of investors’ investment. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. If we do not apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
We will continue to incur costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies.
We will continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of being a public company. We will also continue to incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as new rules implemented by the SEC and the OTC Markets Group. Our executive officers and other personnel will need to continue to devote substantial time to these rules and regulations. These rules and regulations are expected to result in higher than average legal and financial compliance costs than if we were a private company and they are expected to make some other activities more time-consuming and costly. These rules and regulations may also make it difficult and expensive for us to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers of the Company, which may adversely affect investor confidence and could cause our business or stock price to suffer.
We will continue to incur ongoing costs and expenses to comply with SEC reporting requirements and to remain in compliance. Without substantive revenue, we may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to sell their shares, if at all.
We will be required to file annual, quarterly and current reports, or other information with the SEC as provided by the Securities Exchange Act. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenue to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues, or should we not have available cash reserves to remain in compliance, it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

The Company is electing to not opt out of JOBS Act extended accounting transition period. This may make its financial statements more difficult to compare to other companies.
Pursuant to the JOBS Act of 2012, as an emerging growth company the Company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the PCAOB or the SEC. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the standard for the private company. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with any other public company which is not either an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible as possible different or revised standards may be used.
Emerging Growth Company
The recently enacted JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on emerging growth companies. The Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:
| |
· | be temporarily exempted from the internal control audit requirements Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
| |
· | be temporarily exempted from various existing and forthcoming executive compensation-related disclosures, for example: “say-on-pay”, “pay-for-performance”, and “CEO pay ratio”; |
| |
· | be temporarily exempted from any rules that might be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or supplemental auditor discussion and analysis reporting; |
| |
· | be temporarily exempted from having to solicit advisory say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden-parachute shareholder votes on executive compensation under Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; |
| |
· | be permitted to comply with the SEC’s detailed executive compensation disclosure requirements on the same basis as a smaller reporting company; and, |
| |
· | be permitted to adopt any new or revised accounting standards using the same timeframe as private companies (if the standard applies to private companies). |
Our company will continue to be an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
| |
· | the last day of the fiscal year during which we have annual total gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more; |
| |
· | the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the first sale of our common equity securities in an offering registered under the Securities Act; |
| |
· | the date on which we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities during a previous three-year period; or |
| |
· | the date on which we become a large accelerated filer, which generally is a company with a public float of at least $700 million (Exchange Act Rule 12b-2). |

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
You should read the following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” in conjunction with the section inclusive of our financial statements and the related notes provided elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties about our business and operations. Our actual results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those we describe under “Risk Factors”, beginning above on page 4.
We make forward-looking statements in this Registration Statement, in other materials we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or otherwise release to the public. In addition, our management might make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. Statements concerning our future operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance (including growth and earnings) and demand for our food and beverage products, and other statements of our plans, beliefs, or expectations, including the statements contained in this section, regarding our future plans, strategies and expectations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, these statements are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Business Summary
AFB Limited is an e-commerce advisory firm specializing in helping businesses navigate the complex world of online commerce. With our expertise and industry insights, we strive to empower companies to develop and execute successful e-commerce strategies, enabling them to thrive in the digital marketplace.
Assets
As of November 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8,185.
Our cash balance is not sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations for any substantive period of time. In order to implement our plan of operations for the next twelve-month period, we will require further funding. We may need to rely on the sale of our common stock or other means to raise capital, should our cash balance be insufficient to further our business agenda. After a twelve-month period we may need additional financing but currently do not have any arrangements for such financing. If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to scale back or suspend operations until we do raise the cash we need, or we may need to materially alter our business objectives.
Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
As of November 30, 2023, we recorded a shareholder’s deficit of $8,236, with liabilities consist of amount due to directors, accrued expenses and deferred revenue surpassing assets.
Revenue
For the period from August 18, 2023 (Date of inception) through November 30, 2023, we realized revenues of $6,000, and a gross profit of $6,000. Revenue was a result of providing e-commerce and digital marketing strategy development and execution services to several clients.
If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to scale back or suspend operations until we do raise the cash we need, or we may need to materially alter our business objectives. Given our revenue is not sufficient to cover our operating expenses we expect we will need to rely on funding from the sales of our common stock, and or related party contributions by our sole officer and director, Mr. Tak Chun Wong. Mr. Wong has no obligation to loan or provide the company with capital infusions.
Expenses
For the period from August 18, 2023 (Date of inception) through November 30, 2023, we incurred general and administrative expenses in the amount of $25,518.
Net Loss
For the period from August 18, 2023 (Date of inception) through November 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $19,518.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,185 from August 18, 2023 (Date of Inception) to November 30, 2023. The cash provided by operating activities was attributable to an increase in accrued liabilities, an increase in the amount due to our director and an increase in deferred revenue contra by net loss.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
For the year ended November 30, 2023, the Company has no investing activities.
Cash Provided by Financing Activity
For the year ended November 30, 2023, the Company has no financing activities.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $19,518 for the period ended November 30, 2023, resulting in accumulated deficit of $19,518 and a working capital deficit of $16,518.
The Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve profitability and the ability to acquire funding through this public offering. If funding from this public offering is insufficient, then the Company shall rely on the financial support from its controlling shareholder.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.

E-Commerce Industry
At AFB Limited, we operate as an e-commerce advisory firm operating primarily in the E-Commerce Industry with a particular focus on the market in Asia.
The Asian e-commerce market has continued its rapid expansion in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a growing emphasis on supporting SMEs. The pandemic accelerated the shift towards online shopping, transforming consumer behavior and opening up new opportunities for businesses, particularly Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (“SME”s), to thrive in the digital economy.
Global and Asia E-commerce Market Size
According to Statista, in 2022, retail e-commerce sales amounted to approximately 5.7 trillion U.S. dollars worldwide1.
Total retail e-commerce revenue worldwide in 2022, by region
(in billion U.S. dollars)
Asia leads the ranking of biggest e-commerce markets worldwide. The total revenue of online retail in Asian countries added up to nearly 1.7 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022. This was approximately 700 million U.S. dollars higher than the e-commerce revenue reached in the Americas. Australia, Oceania, and Africa achieved far lower e-commerce revenues in 2022, with values below 50 billion U.S. dollars. Asia’s leading position can mostly be ascribed to China, which achieved a revenue of over 1.2 trillion U.S. dollars in 20222.
Global and Asia E-commerce Market Growth
Retail e-commerce sales compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023 to 2027, by country
The e-commerce market is highly developed on the Asian continent, and will likely continue to grow. For instance, India is the country with the forecasted highest Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for its e-commerce market. Between 2023 and 2027, the market value is forecast to grow with over 14 percent annually. The Latin-American e-commerce market is also forecast to grow quickly in the coming years. Large Asian e-commerce markets have a strong influence over the rest of the world. A concrete example of an Asian e-commerce channel that is being adopted in the Western countries is the TikTok Shop, connecting social media and e-commerce to form social commerce.
SMEs are instrumental in driving the growth and dynamism of the Asian e-commerce market. They fulfill several vital roles that contribute to the vibrancy and diversity of this digital ecosystem. SMEs frequently opt for marketplace participation on popular e-commerce platforms like Alibaba, Amazon, Lazada, and Flipkart, leveraging these established channels to tap into a vast customer base without the substantial infrastructure investment required for building independent online storefronts. This marketplace participation empowers SMEs to access a broad consumer audience and showcase a diverse range of products and services, effectively catering to niche markets and individual consumer preferences.
Furthermore, SMEs play a significant role in job creation, which significantly contributes to economic development across the Asian region. As they expand their online operations, they often generate employment opportunities, further bolstering the local and national economies.
However, SMEs in the e-commerce sector also face several substantial challenges. The highly competitive nature of the market, often dominated by well-established players, poses a hurdle for SMEs looking to gain market share and recognition. Logistics can be particularly challenging in countries like India, given their vast geographical expanse and densely populated areas, making efficient last-mile delivery a demanding task. Additionally, SMEs might lack the digital literacy required to effectively manage and market their online businesses, necessitating support and education.
Recognizing the pivotal role of SMEs in the e-commerce landscape, governments and industry stakeholders in Asia have taken steps to foster their growth. Investments in digital infrastructure, including initiatives to enhance internet connectivity and payment systems, have become a priority. Measures to improve digital literacy and provide training for SMEs are also gaining momentum, equipping them with the necessary skills to thrive in the digital marketplace. Trade agreements and cross-border e-commerce initiatives are being established to open up markets for SMEs beyond their domestic boundaries, facilitating their expansion.
Looking ahead, several key trends are expected to shape the future of e-commerce in Asia, with a strong emphasis on SME growth. SMEs will increasingly explore cross-border e-commerce opportunities, seeking to expand their customer base by tapping into international markets. As mobile penetration continues to rise, mobile-first strategies will become indispensable for SMEs, allowing them to effectively reach consumers on the devices they use most. The growing consumer awareness of environmental issues will drive demand for eco-friendly products, presenting significant opportunities for SMEs operating in this space. The integration of financial technology (FinTech) will enable SMEs to access digital payment solutions and credit, thereby facilitating business growth. Moreover, SMEs are likely to diversify their product offerings, branching out beyond traditional retail into sectors like groceries, healthcare, and services, further enriching the e-commerce landscape in Asia.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. We use words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements contained within this filing are good faith estimates of management as of the date of this filing.

Monitor and Review Phase

2. Data Analysis: Conduct in-depth analysis of the gathered performance data, aiming to:
a. Identify Trends: Discern emerging trends that could influence future strategies and decision-making.

Marketing Strategy
Our promotional strategy involves leveraging our website, located at https://afbltd.wixsite.com/mysite, as a central hub for showcasing our services. In conjunction with this, we actively engage in social media marketing campaigns, with a particular focus on platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and various e-commerce industry forums. This multi-channel approach aims to enhance our online presence and effectively reach our target audience.
Furthermore, we recognize the importance of direct engagement, and as part of our outreach efforts, we actively participate in relevant business events. By attending these events, we aim to foster meaningful relationships with potential customers and collaborators, contributing to the overall growth and visibility of our services in the industry.
In addition, we are planning to implement a referral program to further augment our customer acquisition strategy. This program aims to leverage word-of-mouth referrals by encouraging existing customers to refer friends and family. To incentivize these referrals, we intend to offer rewards or incentives, recognizing the influential role that satisfied customers can play in attracting new clientele.
Last, as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our online presence and credibility, we have plans to upgrade our website. This upgrade will include the incorporation of a customer reviews and testimonials section. By providing a platform for satisfied customers to share their positive experiences, we aim to foster a sense of trust and authenticity among potential customers who visit our website.
Future Plans
In the upcoming months, our primary focus will be on expanding our clientele by attracting businesses seeking to establish or enhance their presence in the e-commerce landscape. This expansion will be achieved through strategic digital advertising on social media platforms. Additionally, within the next 12 months, we anticipate the possibility of hiring one additional employee. This individual will be responsible for providing ongoing reviews and supporting services, contributing to the generation of recurring cash flow for the company. These initiatives are aligned with our objective to fortify and sustain the growth of our business in the dynamic e-commerce industry.
Government Regulations
While the company is not directly subject to specific government regulations related to its business activities, given that its primary business operations are conducted in Hong Kong, the company is obligated to prioritize adherence to Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, ensuring compliance with privacy laws and obtaining explicit consent for data collection and processing. Non-compliance may result in penalties imposed by authorities.
Additionally, careful attention should be directed towards intellectual property rights, including proactive measures against potential trademark infringements. Strict adherence to copyright laws, particularly in the realm of digital marketing, is essential. To protect the company's brand and creative assets, thorough trademark searches, timely trademark registrations, and regular monitoring for unauthorized use will most likely be necessary.
In the creation of digital marketing materials, strict adherence to copyright laws is imperative. Obtaining necessary permissions for third-party content and ensuring adequate protection for the company's own content are crucial considerations.
Despite operating in Hong Kong, it is essential to acknowledge that Hong Kong operates under the principle of 'one country, two systems' as a part of China. In conducting business, the company must consider trade relationships between China and the United States. Uncertainties regarding the implementation and enforcement of new People's Republic of China (PRC) laws, rules, and regulations on US companies need careful attention.
Potential adverse effects on company interests may arise from changes in PRC government policies, including alterations in laws, regulations, or their interpretation, confiscatory taxation, currency conversion restrictions, import restrictions, or expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises. Despite the PRC government's pursuit of economic reform policies, uncertainties exist, especially in the event of changes in leadership, social or political disruptions, or other circumstances impacting the PRC’s political, economic, and social environment.
Employees
Currently, we, “AFB Limited”, have only one employee, our sole officer and director, Tak Chun Wong, who is not compensated at present for his services.
Competition
Our competitive strengths are grounded in a strategic differentiation approach, where our focus is on delivering highly customized services that guide our clients comprehensively through their e-commerce journey. Our service model is intricately structured into three distinct stages: planning, execution, and performance monitoring and review, with each stage meticulously tailored to align with the specific goals of our client's company.
During the planning stage, our collaboration with clients is intensive, aiming to understand their objectives and customize a strategy that precisely meets their unique requirements. In the execution phase, we implement the tailored plan with a commitment to ensuring a seamless and efficient process. The performance monitoring and review stage involves ongoing analysis, allowing us to assess outcomes and make necessary adjustments for optimal performance.
One of our distinctive strengths lies in the dynamism of our approach. Acknowledging the evolving goals and needs of our client companies, we proactively amend and optimize our services to guarantee an ongoing, tailored fit. This commitment ensures that our clients not only achieve mastery of the platforms but also receive services that continually align with their changing business landscape.
In assessing our market, we have identified several key competitors, including Kangxiang, Jet Commerce, and Shopline. This awareness allows us to benchmark our services effectively and strategically position ourselves in the competitive landscape.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Our offering is being made on a self-underwritten basis: no minimum number of shares must be sold in order for the offering to proceed. The offering price per share is at a fixed price of $0.05 for the duration of the offering. The following table sets forth the uses of proceeds assuming the sale of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the securities offered for sale by the Company at a price of $0.05 per share. There is no assurance that we will raise the full $100,000 as anticipated. Depending on the results of our capital raise, we may need to reallocate how we will use proceeds from this offering, reassess how funds are spent, and in what quantities, depending upon the ultimate amount of funds raised. As such, the below is tentative.
Next 12 months Planned Action | | If 500,000 shares (25%) are sold: | | | If 1,000,000 shares (50%) are sold: | | | If 1,500,000 shares (75%) are sold: | | | If 2,000,000 shares (100%) are sold: |

The above figures represent only estimated costs for the next 12 months. Funds may be allocated in differing quantities should the Company decide at a later date it would be in the Company’s best interests.
The Company estimates the costs of this offering at about $22,500.
The Company may utilize funds from this offering to pay for offering expenses. It is possible that the Company does not raise enough funds to cover the costs of this offering. There is also the possibility that the Company spends all of the money it may raise, pursuant to this offering, on offering expenses, leaving it no remaining funds to reinvest into its material operations.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price per share of common stock pursuant to this offering is a fixed price of $0.05. This fixed price was arbitrarily determined. The offering price was determined by us and is based on our own assessment of our financial condition and prospects, limited operating history, and the general condition of the securities market. It does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value.

DILUTION
The price of the current offering is to be fixed at $0.05 per share of common stock for the duration of the offering.
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders. The following tables compare the differences of your investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.
The following table illustrates the dilution to the purchasers of the common stock in this offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company has 3,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. Pursuant to this offering, the Company is registering an additional 2,000,000 shares of its common stock for sale at a fixed price of $0.05 per share for the duration of the offering.
There is no arrangement to address the possible effect of the offering on the price of the stock.
In connection with the Company’s selling efforts in the offering, our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Tak Chun Wong, will not register as a broker-dealer pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the “safe harbor” provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in an offering of the issuer’s securities. Tak Chun Wong is not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act. He will also not be compensated in connection with his participation in the offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities. Mr. Wong is not, nor has he been within the past 12 months, a broker or dealer, and he is not, nor has he been within the past 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer. At the end of the offering, Mr. Wong will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities. Mr. Wong will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any single issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).
Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange or quoted over-the counter, we intend to seek to have our shares of common stock quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market. In order to be quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved. However, sales by the Company must be made at the fixed price of $0.05 for the duration of this offering. The Company will not offer its shares for sale through underwriters, dealers, agents or anyone who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Company and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agents. The shares of common stock sold by the Company may be occasionally sold in one or more transactions; all shares sold under this prospectus will be sold at a fixed price of $0.05 per share.
In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in those states only if they have been registered or qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration or if qualification requirement is available and with which the Company has complied.
In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective.
The Company will pay all expenses incidental to the registration of the shares (including registration pursuant to the securities laws of certain states), which we expect to be no more than, about, $22,500. At this time the Company only has plans to sell to non U.S. citizens outside of the United States.
Procedures for Subscribing
If you decide to subscribe for any shares in this offering that are offered by us, “The Company”, you must
- Execute and deliver a subscription agreement; and

Holders

Penny Stock Regulation
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As the Shares immediately following this Offering will likely be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Shares in the secondary market.

Committees of the Board
Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our sole director, Mr. Wong, believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because he believes he can adequately perform the functions of such committees.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors, consisting solely of Tak Chun Wong, has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.
We believe that our sole director, Mr. Wong, is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.
Our sole director does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the Board of Directors can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and our current financial condition.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our sole officer and director has not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
1. | Bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
2. | Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
3. | Being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his/her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or |

Independence of Directors
We are not required to have independent members of our Board of Directors, and do not anticipate having independent directors until such time as we are required to do so.
At this time, the Board of Directors, is comprised of only one individual, Mr. Tak Chun Wong.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors, consisting solely of Mr. Wong, evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.
Shareholder Proposals
Our Company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The Board of Directors, consisting solely of Mr wong, believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our Company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Tak Chun Wong, at the address appearing on the first page of this Registration Statement.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of AFB Limited

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of AFB Limited (the ‘Company’) as of November 30, 2023, and the related statement of operations and comprehensive loss, statement of stockholders' equity and statement of cash flows for the period ended November 30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period ended November 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, for the financial period ended November 30, 2023 the Company incurred a net loss of $19,518 and having capital deficiency of $16,518. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to those charged with governance and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue recognition
The Company revenue includes delivery of e-commerce strategy consulting, platform implementation and integration services as well as delivery of analytics and performance monitoring and review services. The Company has recorded USD6,000 revenue for the financial period and as of 30 November 2023, the deferred revenue of the Company is amounted to USD18,000.
As revenue is a presumed fraud risk areas in the consideration of fraud in a financial statements audit in accordance with AS2401, we have identified revenue as the primarily focus on the financial statements audit in addressing fraud risk consideration. While ASC 606 is the revenue recognition standard that affects all businesses that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods and service, we had examined the accuracy of the timing of revenue recognition (cut-off testing) and appropriateness of performance obligation recognition to make sure it is in accordance with the standard.
Our audit procedures in this area among others to test the completeness, accuracy, cut-off and occurrence of revenue included the following:
| a) | Identified the performance obligations within contractual agreements; |
| b) | Assessed and evaluated the degree of control of the Company has over the goods and services and the point at which control is transferred to the customer; |
| c) | Reviewing the application of revenue recognition criteria, including satisfactory of performance obligations and transfer of risk and rewards; |
| d) | Evaluating the completeness and adequacy of disclosures related to revenue recognition; and |
| e) | Inquiry management to understand their judgements, assumptions and policies related to revenue recognition. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FROM AUGUST 18, 2023 (DATE OF INCEPTION) TO NOVEMBER 30, 2023
(CURRENCY EXPRESSED IN UNITED STATES DOLLARS (“US$”), EXCEPT FOR NUMBER OF SHARES)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS BACKGROUND
AFB Limited, a Nevada corporation, (herein referred as “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 18, 2023.
AFB Limited is an e-commerce advisory firm specializing in helping businesses navigate the complex world of online commerce. With our expertise and industry insights, we empower companies to develop and execute winning e-commerce strategies, enabling them to thrive in the digital marketplace.
The Company’s executive office is located at R27 3/F, New Timely Building, 497 Castle Peak Road, Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements for AFB Limited for the period from August 18, 2023 (Date of Inception) to November 30, 2023 are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The Company has adopted November 30 as its fiscal year end.
Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with US GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the balance sheets, and the reported revenue and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments.
Accounts Receivable
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and generally does not require collateral. The Company’s credit terms are dependent upon the segment and the customer. The Company assesses the probability of collection from each customer at the outset of the arrangement based on a number of factors, including the customer’s payment history and its current creditworthiness. If in management’s judgment collection is not probable, the Company does not record revenue until the uncertainty is removed.
Management performs ongoing credit evaluations, and the Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based upon its loss history and its aging analysis. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of credit losses in existing accounts receivable. Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts each reporting period based on a detailed analysis of trade receivables. In the analysis, management primarily considers the age of the customer’s receivable, and also considers the creditworthiness of the customer, the economic conditions of the customer’s industry, general economic conditions and trends, and the business relationship and history with its customers, among other factors. If any of these factors change, the Company may also change its original estimates, which could impact the level of the Company’s future allowance for doubtful accounts. If judgments regarding the collectability of receivables were incorrect, adjustments to the allowance may be required, which would reduce profitability.
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. Bad debts are written off as identified.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is generated through provision of website development and design services to customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods and services. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount:
(i) identification of the promised goods and services in the contract;
(ii) determination of whether the promised goods and services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
(iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
(iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
(v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under Topic 606, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable and collectability is probable. The Company records revenue from the wholesale of goods upon the delivery of the finalized website service to the customer.
Earnings Per Share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings Per Share”, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share in conjunction with the disclosure of the methodology used in computing such earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock. Further, if the number of common shares outstanding increases as a result of a stock dividend or stock split or decreases as a result of a reverse stock split, the computations of a basic and diluted earnings per share shall be adjusted retroactively for all periods presented to reflect that change in capital structure.
The Company’s basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income available to holders by the weighted average number of the Company’s ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the amount of net income available to each ordinary share outstanding during the period plus the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive securities had been issued.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date.
New U.S. federal tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Reform”), was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The U.S. Tax Reform modified the U.S. Internal Revenue Code by, among other things, reducing the statutory U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017; limiting and/or eliminating many business deductions; migrating the U.S. to a territorial tax system with a one-time transaction tax on a mandatory deemed repatriation of previously deferred foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries; subject to certain limitations, generally eliminating U.S. corporate income tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries; and providing for new taxes on certain foreign earnings. Taxpayers may elect to pay the one-time transition tax over eight years, or in a single lump-sum payment.
Related Parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Fair Value Measurement
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. It also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and that market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk and effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset.
This ASC establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning December 15, 2022, and early adoption is permitted.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. Management has not identified any other new standards that it believes will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3. GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $19,518 for the period ended November 30, 2023 resulting in accumulated deficit of $19,518 and a working capital deficit of $16,518.
The Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to improve profitability and the ability to acquire funding through public offering. If funding from public offering is insufficient, then the Company shall rely on the financial support from its controlling shareholder.
These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that financial statements are issued. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result in the Company not being able to continue as a going concern.
4. PREPAYMENT
As of November 30, 2023 the company has prepayment which comprises of $51 prepaid web expenses.

United States of America
The Tax Act reduces the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for our tax years beginning in 2018, which resulted in the re-measurement of the federal portion of our deferred tax assets from the 35% to 21% tax rate. The Company is registered in the State of Nevada and is subject to United States of America tax law. As of November 30, 2023, the operations in the United States of America incurred $19,518 of cumulative net operating losses (NOL’s) which can be carried forward to offset future taxable income. The NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2043, if unutilized. The Company has provided for a full valuation allowance of approximately $4,099 against the deferred tax assets on the expected future tax benefits from the net operating loss carryforwards as the management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.
The following table sets forth the significant components of the aggregate deferred tax assets of the Company as of November 30, 2023:

11. SEGMENT REPORTING
ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organization structure as well as information about services categories, business segments and major customers in financial statements. The Company has single reportable segment based on business unit, information technology services business and single reportable segment based on country, Hong Kong.
In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTOR AND OFFICERS
Under our Bylaws of the corporation, every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or Officer of another Corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada from time to time against all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right, which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. The expenses of Officers and Directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding must be paid by the Corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director or Officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such Directors, Officers, or representatives may have or hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of Stockholders, provision of law, or otherwise, as well as their rights under this Article.
Without limiting the application of the foregoing, the Board of Directors may adopt bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification, to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, and may cause the Corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or Officer of another Corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person. The indemnification provided in this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, Officer, Employee, or Agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales of securities are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or our securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
