None of the serious warning signs we check for were found. 1 thing worth knowing.

We look for five warning signs: doubt it can keep going, weak checks on its own accounts, a notice that its past accounts can't be relied on, a change of auditor, and one customer bringing in a big share of sales. We don't check lawsuits, investigations or debt yet.

We checked the auditor's report, internal controls, restatement notices, auditor changes and big customers in the 10-K filed 26 Feb 2026, plus the 10-Q filed 6 Aug 2026 and 8 later 8-Ks.

• Changed auditor

  Worth knowing

  The company changed its auditor (the firm that checks its books) in the last two years.

  “On March 2, 2026, the Audit Committee approved the dismissal of KPMG Huazhen LLP (“ KPMG ”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately.”

  From an 8-K filed 3 March 2026: Change of auditor. Read it in the filing

Cheap for a reason is the question the numbers cannot answer.

Whether the price already reflects the risks is what the deep dive is for.

• We may incur additional tax expense or become subject to additional tax exposure, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  Could happen

  Due to the global nature of the Internet, it is possible that various states or foreign countries might attempt to impose additional or new regulation on our business or levy additional or new sales, income or other taxes relating to our activities. New or revised international, federal, state or local tax regulations or court decisions may subject us or our customers to additional sales, income and other taxes. Other new or revised taxes, such as digital taxes, sales taxes, VAT and similar taxes could increase the cost of doing business online and decrease the attractiveness of selling products over the Internet. New taxes and rulings could also create significant increases in internal costs necessary to capture data and collect and remit taxes. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

• We may incur additional tax expense or become subject to additional tax exposure, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  Could happen

  We are subject to the tax laws and regulations of the U.S. and numerous other foreign jurisdictions in which we do business. Many judgments are required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities, and we are regularly under audit by the applicable tax authorities, which may not agree with our tax positions. In addition, our tax liabilities are subject to other significant risks and uncertainties, including those arising from potential changes in laws and regulations in the countries in which we do business, the possibility of adverse determinations with respect to the application of existing laws, changes in our business or structure and changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. Any unfavorable resolution of these and other uncertainties may have a significant adverse impact on our tax rate and results of operations. If our tax expense were to increase, or if the ultimate determination of our taxes owed is for an amount in excess of amounts previously accrued, our operating results, cash flows and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

• We may not realize the expected benefits of our acquisitions due to potential risk and uncertainties.

  Could happen

  We anticipate continuing to evaluate a wide array of potential strategic transactions, including business combinations, acquisitions, strategic investments, commercial and strategic partnerships as part of our overall business strategy. For example, on January 1, 2026, we completed the acquisition of New Classic. In October 2023, we completed the acquisition of Noble House, and in November 2023, we also acquired all outstanding equity interest of Wonder. Acquisitions and other transactions and arrangements involve significant challenges and risks, including that they do not advance our business strategy, that we get an unsatisfactory return on our investment, that they raise new compliance-related obligations and challenges, that we have difficulty integrating and retaining new employees, business systems, and technology, that they distract management from our other businesses, or that announced transactions may not be completed. Failure to successfully integrate our acquisitions in a timely manner may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The difficulties of combining acquired operations include, among other things:

• Trade restrictions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

  Could happen

  We are focused on facilitating B2B ecommerce transactions for large parcel merchandise. Our cross-border logistics services may be affected by trade restrictions implemented by countries or territories in which our customers are located or in which our customers’ products are manufactured or sold. For example, we are subject to risks relating to changes in trade policies, tariff regulations, embargoes or other trade restrictions adverse to our customers’ business. Actions by governments that result in restrictions on movement of parcels or otherwise could also impede our ability to carry out our cross-border ecommerce solutions and logistics services. In particular, recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, Vietnam and other countries and any retaliatory actions taken by such countries could result in us or our sellers and buyers incurring substantial additional costs to procure a large portion of the merchandise offered on our B2B ecommerce platform. Historically, tariffs have led to increased trade and political tensions between the U.S. and China, as well as between the U.S. and other countries. Political tensions as a result of trade policies could reduce trade volume, cross-border investment, technological exchange, and other economic activities between major economies, resulting in a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial and stock markets. If we are unable to connect our global customers to each other in our marketplace or provide solutions to transporting parcels to and from countries with trade restrictions in a timely manner or at all, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
