foreign private issuer regulatory

"FORM 6-K REPORT OF FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER PURSUANT TO RULE 13a-16"

A foreign private issuer is a company organized outside the United States that meets tests showing it is primarily foreign-controlled and therefore qualifies for a different set of U.S. reporting rules. For investors, that means the company files less frequent or differently formatted disclosures with U.S. regulators and may follow home-country accounting and governance practices, so buying its stock is like dining at a well-reviewed restaurant that follows its home kitchen’s rules instead of the local menu — you get access but should check what standards apply.

services agreement financial

"Mr. Chai will perform his duties as CFO pursuant to a services agreement"

related party financial

"HTL Furniture Inc., a U.S. company which is a related party of the Company"

A related party is a person or organization with close ties to a company — for example major shareholders, board members, executives, their family, or businesses they control — that can influence decisions or enter into transactions with the company. Investors watch related‑party dealings because they can create conflicts of interest or non‑market terms that affect fairness, the company’s finances and transparency; think of it like buying or selling something to a family member rather than on the open market.

Certified Public Accountant financial

"Mr. Chai is a licensed Certified Public Accountant"

A certified public accountant (CPA) is a licensed accounting professional who has passed rigorous exams and met education and experience requirements to prepare, review, and officially certify financial statements and tax filings. For investors, a CPA's involvement is like a neutral referee confirming that a company's reported numbers are accurate and follow accounting rules, which improves trust in financial reports and lowers the risk of unexpected errors or misleading information.
