FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: NO ASSURANCES INTENDED
This Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements regarding Tianci International, Inc., its business and financial prospects. All statements that address events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements represent Management’s best estimate of what will happen. Nevertheless, there are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ dramatically from the results suggested in this Report, including the contingencies described in this Report under Item 1A titled "Risk Factors".
Because these and other risks may cause the Company’s actual results to differ from those anticipated by Management, the reader should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that appear in this Report.
PART 1
Item 1. Business
The Share Exchange
On March 6, 2023 Tianci International, Inc. ("Tianci"), which had previously been a shell corporation with no business operations, completed a share exchange with RQS Capital Limited (“RQS Capital”), in which RQS Capital transferred all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of RQS United Group Limited (“RQS United”) to Tianci, and Tianci issued to RQS Capital 1,500,000 shares of its common stock and paid a cash price of $350,000 (the “Share Exchange”).
RQS United is a holding company incorporated in the Republic of Seychelles. RQS United has no operations other than holding 90% of the outstanding share capital of its subsidiary, Roshing International Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Hong Kong (“Roshing”). Shufang Gao and Ying Deng, who are officers and members of Tianci's Board of Directors are also officers and directors of Roshing. Ying Deng owns the 10% of Roshing that is not owned by RQS United.
The Share Exchange has been accounted for as a “reverse acquisition” effected as a recapitalization, wherein RQS United was considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized on Tianci’s financial statements.
The Business of Roshing
Roshing was incorporated on June 22, 2011 and is engaged in the sale of components of electronic devices, development of software and websites, technical consulting, and providing maintenance support on customized software. Roshing’s business is primarily carried out in Hong Kong, although we realize a substantial portion of our software development and related services revenue in Singapore.
To date, Roshing has carried on operations in five categories:
a. Electronic Device Hardware Components Product Sales
Roshing distributes hardware components to manufacturers of electronic devices. Roshing’s product line includes high performance computer chips, Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth modules, 4G network modules, LED screens, and touch screens. Roshing markets off-the-shelf products, which it ships directly from the manufacturer to Roshing’s customer.
2 |
b. Software and Website Development Services
Roshing develops customized freight shipping and related logistic software and websites. The software helps wholesalers, ecommerce retailers, and freight forwarders to manage complex workflows and improve work efficiency by enabling shipping workflow management, sea shipping container management, ecommerce inventory and shipping management, and logistics data analysis.
c. Technical Consulting and Training Services
Roshing provides technical consulting and training services to help customers, generally its existing customers, to better understand and properly use its customized software and related hardware. Services are generally carried out on a per-time fixed rate basis.
d. Software Maintenance and Business Promotion Services
Roshing provides software maintenance service to keep customer’s software up to date. Roshing also assists customers in promoting business with ongoing marketing support. The Company charges a flat rate for a fixed duration on a subscription basis, generally 12 months.
e. Business Consulting Services
Roshing assists business enterprises in preparing applications for immigration and non-immigration visas. Roshing performs background checks and cash analysis, then assists the client in preparing the visa application(s). The Company charges a flat fee for these services.
Moving forward, by leveraging the professional experience and market resources of the senior management team, Roshing is expected to provide a wide variety of shipping & freight forward services, including sea freight forwarding, air freight forwarding, trucking, and warehousing.
Marketing
Roshing markets its hardware products directly to the electronic device industry and markets its software directly to wholesalers. In each case, the primary method of marketing is participation by our engineering staff in events such as expos, seminars and industry association meetings that are focused on our target markets. We present Roshing as a valuable assistant to the customer, with the goal of developing a long-term relationship with repeat orders. As a result of this strategic focus, almost 96% of our sales during fiscal year 2022 were made to just five customers, and 52% of our sales during fiscal year 2023 were made to two customers.
Vendors
Roshing distributes electronic components manufactured by a variety of vendors. There is no vendor that, were our relationship to terminate, we could not adequately replace promptly.
3 |
Roshing employs two software engineers and a logistics project manager, who are together dedicated to fulfillment of the software development contracts entered by Roshing. When the flow of software development contracts exceeds the production capacities of those three employees, Roshing subcontracts to third party developers that it has tested for competence.
The core software package that Roshing markets to wholesalers was designed under an Entrusted Custom Development Protocol signed by Roshing and Vendor A. The Protocol provides for Vendor A’s continued involvement in Roshing’s marketing of software, detailing the terms under which Roshing may engage Vendor A to develop specific applications of the software package for customers of Roshing.
Competition
Roshing competes in all of its market operations with a large number of competitors, big and small. Roshing competes based on the quality of its services and attention to the needs of its customers. Specifically, we focus on the following factors to capture customer preference:
· | Commitment to product and service quality, development, and innovation. | |
Our emphasis on highly customized software solutions and high-quality hardware products attaches an aura of quality to our market presence. | ||
· | Comprehensive and high standard product range. | |
We offer a wide range of high quality and sophisticated hardware component products. | ||
· | Special focus on logistic industry | |
Our software-related services provide a comprehensive solution for customers in the logistic industry. |
Employees
Roshing has eight employees in addition to its directors: Shufang Gao and Ying Deng. Two employees are focused on marketing and administration; the remaining six are engineers or project managers. Roshing believes its relations with its employees are good.
Our Plan for the Future
Our plan is to rely on the following key factors to enable the growth of our business.
· | Our ability to retain and increase customers |
Our ability to increase our revenues and our profitability will depend on our ability to retain our existing customers as well as to continue to increase our customer base and revenue per customer. To achieve this, we strive to increase our marketing efforts and to enhance the quality and capabilities of our software solutions. Currently we have customers in Hong Kong and Singapore, and we expect to continue expanding our business to other countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
4 |
· | Investment in talent |
We believe that a core element of the competitiveness of our business is talent. To retain existing and attract potential customers, we will continue to rely on our people and their knowledge and experience in the industry. We intend to acquire top talent to keep pace with the growth of our target industries and continue to offer cutting-edge hardware and software solutions.
· | Our ability to pursue strategic opportunities for growth |
To enhance Roshing’s capabilities, we intend to pursue strategic acquisitions and make investments in select technologies and businesses, particularly in industries with which our senior management has experience. We believe that a solid acquisition and investment strategy will be critical for us to accelerate our growth and strengthen our competitive position in the future.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information contained in this Report, including the financial statements and the related notes, before deciding whether to purchase any shares of our common stock. If any of the following risks is realized, our business, financial condition or operating results could materially suffer. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
I. RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We have a limited operating history and face significant challenges and will incur substantial expenses as we build our capabilities.
We have a limited operating history and are subject to the risks inherent in a growing company, including, among other things, risks that we may not be able to hire sufficient qualified personnel and establish operating controls and procedures. As we build our own capabilities, we expect to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in new and rapidly evolving fields, including the risks and uncertainties related to the evolving effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and those described herein. If we are unable to build our own capabilities, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, and our business could suffer.
We are currently dependent on a small group of customers for most of our revenue. If we cannot expand our customer base many-fold, our business will not be successful.
The revenue generated to date by our business has come from a small number of customers. During the year ended July 31, 2022, five customers were responsible for over 95% of our revenue. During the year ended July 31, 2023, two customers were responsible for over 52% of our revenue. In order for Tianci to be viable as a public company, we must multiply our revenue many-fold. To accomplish that, we must dramatically expand our customer base. If we fail to multiply our customers, Tianci’s stock will have no significant value.
If we are unable to hire, retain or motivate qualified personnel, consultants, independent contractors, and advisors, we may not be able to grow effectively.
Our performance will be largely dependent on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals that we attract to our company. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified personnel for all areas of our organization: technological as well as entrepreneurial. Competition for such qualified employees is intense. If we do not succeed in attracting competent personnel or in retaining or motivating them, we may be unable to grow effectively. In addition, our future success depends largely on our ability to retain key consultants and advisors. Our inability to retain their services could negatively impact our business and our ability to execute our business strategy.
5 |
We do not presently maintain fire, theft, product liability or any other property insurance, which leaves us with exposure in the event of loss or damage to our properties or claims filed against us.
We do not maintain fire, theft, product liability or other insurance of any kind. We bear the economic risk with respect to loss of or damage or destruction to our property and to the interruption of our business, as well as liability to third parties for damage or destruction to them or their property that may be caused by our personnel or products. Such liability could be substantial and the occurrence of such loss or liability may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and prospects.
II. RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN HONG KONG
All our operations are in Hong Kong. However, due to the long arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, the Chinese government may exercise significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of our business and may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock.
Tianci is a holding company and we conduct our operation through our operating subsidiary Roshing in Hong Kong. Our operations are primarily located in Hong Kong and a few of our clients are PRC corporations. At the present time, we are not materially affected by recent statements by the Chinese Government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers. However, due to long arm provisions under the current PRC laws and regulations, there remains regulatory uncertainty with respect to the implementation of Chinese law in Hong Kong. The PRC government may choose to exercise significant oversight and discretion, and the policies, regulations, rules, and the enforcement of laws of the Chinese government to which we are subject may change rapidly and with little advance notice to us or our shareholders. These laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied inconsistently by different agencies or authorities, and inconsistently with our current policies and practices. New laws, regulations, and other government directives in the PRC may also be costly to comply with.
We are aware that recently the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and statements to regulate business operations in certain areas in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas using variable interest entity structure, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding the efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. Since these statements and regulatory actions are new, it is highly uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies will respond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations and interpretations will be modified or promulgated, if any, and the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. or other foreign exchange.
China’s government may intervene or influence our operations at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and foreign investment in China-based issuers, which may result in a material change in our operations and/or the value of our common stock. The promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in each case that restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or way we conduct our business and could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand for our services, reduce revenues, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject us to additional liabilities. To the extent any new or more stringent measures are required to be implemented, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected as well as materially decrease the value of our common stock.
6 |
We will rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Hong Kong subsidiary to fund any cash and financing requirements we may have. In the future, the PRC government may impose restrictions on our ability to transfer funds out of Hong Kong to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong. Any limitation on the ability of our subsidiary to make payments to us could have a material adverse effect on our ability to conduct our business and might materially decrease the value of our common stock.
We are a holding company incorporated in the United States, and we rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our subsidiary in Hong Kong for our cash and financing requirements, including the funds necessary to pay dividends and other cash distributions to our shareholders and service any debt we may incur. If our subsidiary incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict its ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to us.
Under the current practice of the Inland Revenue Department of Hong Kong, no tax is payable in Hong Kong in respect of dividends paid by Roshing. The PRC laws and regulations do not currently have any material impact on transfers of cash from Roshing to Tianci or from Tianci to Roshing. However, the Chinese government may, in the future, impose restrictions or limitations on our ability to transfer money out of Hong Kong, to distribute earnings and pay dividends to and from the other entities within our organization, or to reinvest in our business outside of Hong Kong. Such restrictions and limitations, if imposed in the future, may delay or hinder the expansion of our business to outside of Hong Kong and may affect our ability to receive funds from our operating subsidiary in Hong Kong. The promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the new interpretation of existing laws and regulations, in each case, that restrict or otherwise unfavorably impact the ability or way we conduct our business, could require us to change certain aspects of our business to ensure compliance, which could decrease demand for our services, reduce revenues, increase costs, require us to obtain more licenses, permits, approvals or certificates, or subject us to additional liabilities. To the extent any new or more stringent measures are implemented, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected and such measured could materially decrease the value of our common stock.
Changes in international trade policies, trade disputes, barriers to trade, or the emergence of a trade war may dampen growth in Hong Kong, China and other markets where the majority of our clients reside.
Political events, international trade disputes, and other business interruptions could harm or disrupt international commerce and the global economy, and could have a material adverse effect on us and our customers, service providers, and other partners. International trade disputes could result in tariffs and other protectionist measures which may materially and adversely affect our business.
Tariffs could increase the cost of the goods and products which could affect customers’ investment decisions. In addition, political uncertainty surrounding international trade disputes and the potential of the escalation to a trade war could have a negative effect on customer confidence, which could materially and adversely affect our business. We may also have access to fewer business opportunities, and our operations may be negatively impacted as a result. In addition, the current and future actions or escalations by either the United States or China that affect trade relations may cause global economic turmoil and potentially have a negative impact on our markets, our business, or our results of operations, as well as the financial condition of our customers. and we cannot provide any assurances as to whether such actions will occur or the form that they may take.
Under the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong is exclusively in charge of its internal affairs and external relations, while the government of the PRC is responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. As a separate customs territory, Hong Kong maintains and develops relations with foreign states and regions. However, based on recent political development, the U.S. State Department has indicated that the United States no longer considers Hong Kong to have significant autonomy from China. Hong Kong’s preferential trade status was removed by the United States government and the United States may impose the same tariffs and other trade restrictions on exports from Hong Kong that it places on goods from mainland China. These and other recent actions may represent an escalation in political and trade tensions involving the U.S, China and Hong Kong, which could potentially harm our business.

III. RISKS RELATED TO AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK
Even if a market for our common stock develops, the stock price is nevertheless likely to be volatile. You may have difficulty obtaining a price for your shares that you consider reasonable.
Although Tianci’s common stock is listed for trading on the OTC Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets, the market for the common stock is very thin, with only occasional trades at prices that increase or decrease significantly and suddenly. Therefore, if an investor wants to sell shares, there may be no buyer available, or the price offered may be less than the actual value of the shares. Unless and until significant daily volume occurs in the trading market for our shares, the price of the common stock will be affected by many factors that are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. As a result of these factors, you cannot be assured that when you are ready to sell your shares, the market price will accurately reflect the value of your shares or that you will be able to obtain a reasonable price for your shares.
Our CEO beneficially owns the majority of our outstanding stock and, accordingly, will have control over stockholder matters, the Company’s business and management.
Shufang Gao, the Chief Executive Officer of Tianci, through his holding company owns securities with 68% of the voting power in Tianci. As a result, Mr. Gao will have the ability to:
· | Elect or defeat the election of our directors; | |
· | Amend or prevent amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws; | |
· | Effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction; and | |
· | Affect the outcome of any other matter submitted to the stockholders for vote. |
Moreover, because of the significant ownership position held by Mr. Gao, new investors will not be able to effect a change in the Company’s business or management, and therefore, shareholders would be subject to decisions made by management and the majority shareholder.
In addition, Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
The sale of securities by us in any equity or debt financing could result in dilution to our existing stockholders and have a material adverse effect on our earnings.
Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 20,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock. Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock without consent of any of our stockholders. In addition, our Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board can designate the voting rights, liquidation rights, dividend rights and other rights of holders of the preferred stock. The Board, therefore, could use the Preferred Stock to give an investor group disproportionate voting rights or priority over the common stock in the allocation of benefits from the operations of Roshing, including preferential dividends. The Board could also use the Preferred Stock to create a poison pill to prevent a takeover of Tianci that might be considered beneficial by the common shareholders.
Any sale of common stock by us in a future private placement offering could result in dilution to the existing stockholders as a direct result of our issuance of additional shares of our capital stock. In addition, our business strategy may include expansion through internal growth by acquiring complementary businesses, acquiring, or licensing additional brands, or establishing strategic relationships with targeted customers and suppliers. In order to do so, or to finance the cost of our other activities, we may issue additional equity securities that could dilute our stockholders’ stock ownership. We may also assume additional debt and incur impairment losses related to goodwill and other tangible assets, and this could negatively impact our earnings and results of operations.
8 |
Because we will be subject to “penny stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.
Until we are able to secure a listing for our common stock on a national securities exchange, it is likely that our common stock will be classified as a “penny stock”. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges). Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, 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, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” 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. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules. If a trading market does develop for our common stock, these regulations will likely be applicable, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.
FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock.

Item 2. Properties
The executive offices of Roshing are located in Hong Kong at 2/F No. 18, Area 2, So Kuwn Wat Village, Tuen Mun Hong Kong. Roshing leases the offices for a monthly rent of HKD 3,000 (@ U.S.$386). The lease terminates on January 12, 2025.
Roshing also utilized office space in Shenzhen, China located at Building 8, 26/F, Suite 2605A, Qianhai Zhuoyue Jinrong Center (Phase 1) Unit 2, Guiwan Area, Nanshan District, Shenzhen. Roshing used the space under a sublease that will terminate on August 31, 2024. The monthly rental (from $1,827 to $2,014) is paid by Shufang Gao and Ying Deng, members of Tianci’s Board of Directors and directors of Roshing, as a contribution to the capital of RQS Limited. The sublease was terminated on May 31, 2023.
Management believes the real property leased by Roshing will be adequate for its operations for the foreseeable future.

Revenues
During the year ended July 31, 2023, our revenue decreased by $300,430, or approximately 40%, to $452,409 for the year ended July 31, 2023 from $752,839 for the year ended July 31, 2022. We experienced decline in both product and service revenues in 2023 due to diminishing market demand and our reduction in marketing expenses. We expect our revenue to grow after we add freight forward services to our lines of business.
11 |
Our revenues from our revenue categories are summarized as follows:
For the Year Ended July 31, | ||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||
Product Revenues | $ | 294,880 | $ | 500,500 | ||||
Service Revenues | $ | 157,529 | $ | 252,339 | ||||
$ | 452,409 | $ | 752,839 |
Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues decreased by $22,027, or approximately 5%, to $456,494 for the year ended July 31, 2023 as compared to $478,521 for the year ended July 31, 2022. Our cost of revenues from our revenue categories are summarized as follows:
For the Year Ended July 31, | ||||||||
2023 | 2022 | |||||||
Cost of Product | $ | 227,660 | $ | 336,644 | ||||
Cost of Service | $ | 228,834 | $ | 141,877 | ||||
$ | 456,494 | $ | 478,521 |
The year-to-year decrease in our cost of revenues is primarily attributable to the decrease in our revenue. Thus, our cost of revenues from hardware product sales decreased to $227,660 for the year ended July 31, 2023, from $336,644 for the year ended July 31, 2022, as we experienced a 41% decrease in hardware product sales.
Nevertheless, overall cost of revenue fell only 5%, while overall revenue fell by 40%. The disparity occurred because our cost of revenues from software related services increased by $86,957 to $228,834 for the year ended July 31, 2023, from $141,877 for the year ended July 31, 2022. The increase in cost of revenues from software related services resulted from our grant of common stock as an incentive to our internal software developers. We recorded the $144,000 fair value of the shares as a cost of services.
Gross Profit
We had a gross loss of $4,085 for the year ended July 31, 2023 compared to a gross profit of $274,318 for the year July 31, 2022, which was primarily due to the reduction in revenue without a corresponding reduction in our overall cost of revenues, as discussed above.
The gross profit margin of hardware products decrease by 9.9% to 22.8% for the year ended July 31, 2023, from 32.7% for the year ended July 31, 2022, which was primarily due to rising raw material cost and increasing market competition, which put downward pressure on our pricing. Our software related services resulted in a 45.3 % gross loss for the year ended July 31, 2023, again primarily due to the stock-based compensation issued to our developers.
12 |
Operating Expenses
There was significant change in our total operating expenses, which were $339,909 and $82,502 for the year ended July 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Our operating expenses primarily include payroll expenses, advertising and rent. The increase was partially due to the stock compensation valued at $66,000 that we issued to the selling and general administrative personnel for their continued service after the reverse merger. The professional fees and other costs incurred in connection with the Share Exchange in March 2023 also increased our operating expenses for fiscal year 2023.
Income tax expense
Our income tax expense amounted to $ 12,095 and $ 31,650 for the year ended July 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The change was mainly due to the decrease in profits subject to taxation in Hong Kong.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In assessing our liquidity, we monitor and analyze our cash on-hand and our operating expenditure commitments. Our liquidity needs are to meet our working capital requirements and operating expenses obligations. As of July 31, 2023, our working capital deficit was $(284,543), our cash amounted to $256,342, our current assets were $312,226 and our current liabilities were $596,768. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through capital contributions and advances from shareholders. At July 31, 2023 we owed $276,077 to related parties (See Note 3 of the interim financial statement) and $240,800 to officers for compensation under their employment agreements.
We believe our liquidity and working capital will be sufficient to sustain our business operation for the next twelve months. We may, however, need additional cash resources in the future if there are changes in business conditions or other developments or if the company finds and wishes to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisition, capital expenditure, or similar actions.
We are planning to enter the shipping & freight forwarding services in 2023, which may require significant capital expenditure for developing the business. If we determined that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and cash equivalents we have on hand at the time, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities or obtain credit facilities. The issuance and sale of additional equity may result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. Our obligation to bear credit risk for certain financing transactions we facilitate may also strain our operating cash flow. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
The following summarizes the key components of our cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.
For the year ended | ||||||||

13 |
Operating activities
Despite our net loss of $356,089, net cash was provided by operating activities for the year ended July 31, 2023 primarily because our accounts receivable decreased by $737,663 during the period, as we made efforts on the collection process. The decrease was offset by a decrease of $447,292 in our accounts payable balance attributable to payment to our vendors. In addition, our operating loss of $356,089 included $210,000 in various noncash items.
Net cash was used in operating activities for the year ended July 31, 2022 primarily because our accounts receivable increased by $737,620 during the year, as we offer long payment terms to our customers, typically 6 months after delivery of service or products. Nevertheless, cash used in operations during the fiscal year was only $84,161, as we increased our accounts payable balance by $444,944 attributable to long payment terms from our vendors, recorded net income of $160,166, and increased deferred income tax expense, inventory, and income taxes payable for a total amount of $ 48,349.
Investing activities
The company has no investing activities for the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended July 31, 2023 was $89,476, which was primarily attributable to our repayment of a working capital advance by a related party in the amount of $341,885. Cash outflow was offset by the $31,490 in working capital advance from related parties, $84,503 in operating expenses that were paid directly by shareholders, the payments of Shenzhen China rent by related parties amounting to $16,580, the receipt of a subscription receivable of $50,000, and a capital contribution of $65,650.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended July 31, 2022, was primarily attributable to a working capital advance from a related party amounting to $2,007, the operating expenses that are paid directly by shareholders amounting to $77,375, and the payments of Shenzhen China rent by related parities amounting to $20,046. Cash inflow was offset by repayment of a working capital advance to related party in the amount of $14,280.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The global outbreak of COVID-19 and resulting health crisis has caused, and continues to cause, significant and widespread disruptions to the Hong Kong and global economies, financial and consumer markets. We believe, however, that the COVID-19 outbreak has had very limited impact on our business.
During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, public health officials and other governmental authorities have imposed and may impose new mitigation measures, regulations and requirements to address the spread of COVID-19. Public health officials and other governmental authorities also have imposed directives and may impose additional directives that could require changes in our business practices. The scope and duration of these mitigation measures and directives continue to evolve throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending on the future course of COVID-19 and further outbreaks, we may experience restrictions and temporary closures of our offices.
14 |
Although we have continued to serve our clients and operate our business throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, there can be no assurance that future events will not have an effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition because the extent and duration of the health crisis remains uncertain. Future adverse developments in connection with the COVID-19 crisis, including further outbreaks and new strains or variants of COVID-19, evolving international, federal, state and local restrictions and safety regulations in response to COVID-19, changes in consumer behavior and health concerns, the pace of economic activity in the wake of COVID-19, or other similar issues could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition in the future, or our financial results and business performance in future periods.
We continue to actively manage the impact of the COVID-19 crisis as we face continued uncertainty regarding the impact COVID-19 will have on our financial operations in the near and long term. The need for, or timing of, any future actions in response to COVID-19 is largely dependent on the mitigation of the spread of the virus along with the adoption and continued effectiveness of vaccines, status of government orders, directives and guidelines, recovery of the business environment, global supply chain conditions, economic conditions, and consumer demand for our products and services, all of which are highly uncertain.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and accompanying notes requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2023, there was no accounting estimate we made that was subject to a high degree of uncertainty and was critical to our results.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. The Company does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive income and statements of cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Tianci International, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tianci International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tianci International, Inc. as of July 31, 2023 and July 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard do this matter are also described in 1. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 audits 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
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 the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

TIANCI INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Tianci International, Inc. (the “Company”, “Tianci”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada as Freedom Petroleum, Inc. on June 13, 2012. In May 2015, the Company changed its name to Steampunk Wizards, Inc. and on November 9, 2016, the Company changed its name to Tianci International, Inc. The Company is a holding company. As of July 31, 2023, the Company had one operating subsidiary, Roshing International Co., Ltd. (“Roshing”). The Company owns 90% of the capital stock of Roshing through RQS United, a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company’s fiscal year end is July 31.
On February 13, 2023, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary Tianci Group Holding Limited in the Republic of Seychelles.
Reorganization
On March 3, 2023 the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with RQS United Group Limited (“RQS United”) and RQS Capital Limited (“RQS Capital”), which was the sole shareholder of RQS United (the “Exchange Agreement”). RQS United owns 90% of the equity in Roshing International Co., Ltd. (“Roshing”), which is engaged in the business of distributing electronic components and providing software services. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on March 6, 2023 RQS Capital transferred all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of RQS United to the Company, and the Company issued to RQS Capital 1,500,000 shares of our common stock and paid a cash price of $350,000 (the “Share Exchange”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company also issued a total of 700,000 shares of our common stock to nine employees or affiliates of Roshing to induce continued services to Roshing.
As a result of the Share Exchange, RQS United became our wholly-owned subsidiary and the former RQS United stockholder became our controlling stockholder. The share exchange transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition, with RQS United as the acquirer and the Company as the acquired party for accounting purposes. Unless the context suggests otherwise, when we refer in this report to business and financial information for periods prior to the consummation of the reverse acquisition, we are referring to the business and financial information of RQS United and its consolidated subsidiary, Roshing.
RQS United is a holding company incorporated on November 4, 2022 in the Republic of Seychelles. RQS United has no substantive operations other than holding 90% of the outstanding share capital of its subsidiary, Roshing, which was incorporated on June 22, 2011 in Hong Kong and is principally engaged in sales of electronic device hardware components, development of software and websites, technical consulting, and maintenance support on customized software. Roshing’s business is primarily carried out in Hong Kong and China.
Prior to the Share Exchange, the Company was a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. As a result of the transactions under the Exchange Agreement, the Company ceased to be a shell company.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of July 31, 2023, the Company had cash of $256,342 and negative working capital of $284,542. For the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had total operating revenues of $452,409 and $752,839, respectively, and net income (loss) of $(356,089) and $160,166, respectively. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Management plans to seek debt and/or equity financing to operate until such time as the Company has established sufficient ongoing revenues to cover its costs. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in accomplishing its plans. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Tianci and its subsidiaries. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.
Foreign currency translation and transactions
The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency and functional currency. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use. The Company maintains its bank accounts in United States and Hong Kong.
Accounts receivable, net
Accounts receivable include trade accounts due from customers which are generally collected within six months. In establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers historical collection experience, aging of the receivables, the economic environment, industry trend analysis, and the credit history and financial condition of the customer. Management reviews its receivables on a regular basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate, and adjusts the allowance when necessary. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable. As of July 31, 2023 and 2022, no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary.

Fair Value Measurements
The accounting standard regarding fair value of financial instruments and related fair value measurements defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.
The accounting standard defines fair value, establishes as a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follow:
· | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
· | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets and inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments. | |
· | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
Financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities (such as cash, accounts receivable, due from related party accounts payable, and due to related parties) are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606. This standard requires the use of a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires that the Company (i) identifies the contract with the customer, (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determines the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocates the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognizes revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligations.
The Company records revenue net of sales taxes which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities and are excluded from the transaction price.
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows:

For the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022
a. Electronic Device Hardware Components Products Sales
The Company is a distributor of electronic device hardware components and generates revenue through resale of these components. The Company’s products include high performance computer chips, Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth modules, 4G network modules, LED screens, and touch screens. In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Consideration, an entity is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. Otherwise, the entity is an agent in the transaction. The Company evaluates three indicators of control in accordance with ASC 606: 1) For hardware sales, the Company is the most visible entity to customers and assumes fulfillment risk and risks related to the acceptability of products, including addressing customer complaints directly and handling of product returns or refunds directly. 2) The Company is exposed to inventory risk before transfer of control to customers 3) The Company determines the resale price of hardware products. After evaluating the above circumstances, the Company considers itself the principal of these arrangements and records hardware sales revenue on a gross basis.
Hardware sales contracts are on a fixed price basis with no separate sales rebate, discount, or other incentive. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Company has delivered products that have been accepted by its customer with no future obligations. The Company generally permits returns of products due to product failure; however, returns are historically insignificant.
b. Software and Website Development Services
The Company generates revenue by developing customized freight shipping and related logistic software and websites, which are generally on a fixed-priced basis. The software helps wholesalers, ecommerce retailers, and freight shipping providers to manage complex workflows and improve work efficiency. The Company generally has no enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date and is only entitled to payment after software is fully developed, delivered, tested, and accepted by the customer. As a result, revenues from software development contracts are recognized at a point in time when services are fully rendered, and written acceptances have been received from customers.
c. Technical Consulting and Training Services
The Company provides technical consulting and training services to help customers, generally its existing customers, to better understand and properly use its customized software and related hardware. Services are generally carried out on a per-time fixed rate basis. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when service is rendered and the customer confirms the completion of consulting or training.
d. Software Maintenance and Business Promotion Services
The Company provides software maintenance service to keep customer’s software up to date and assists customers in promoting business with ongoing marketing support. The Company charges a flat rate for a fixed duration on a subscription basis, generally 12 months. Revenue is recognized ratably each month over the contract period.

e. Business Consulting Services
The Company provides business consulting services to help customers apply for immigration and non-immigration visas. The Company is responsible for performing background checks, case analysis, and preparing related application paper works. The Company charges a flat fee for the visa application services. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when an application is submitted with proper authorities.
Cost of revenues
For hardware products sales, the cost of revenue consists primarily of the costs of hardware products sold.
For software related services, the cost of revenue consists primarily of costs paid to outsourced service providers and compensation expenses paid the Company’s software engineers.
Advertising costs
Advertising costs amounted to $192 and $192 for the year ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling and marketing expenses.
Operating leases
Effective August 1, 2022, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), and elected the practical expedients that does not require the Company to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. For lease terms of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. The Company also adopted the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of a lease as a single lease component. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 effective August 1, 2022, the Company recognized a $8,704 right of use (“ROU”) asset and operating lease liabilities in January 2023 based on the present value of the future minimum rental payments of leases, using an incremental borrowing rate of 5%.
The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. US GAAP requires that the Company’s leases be evaluated and classified as operating or finance leases for financial reporting purposes. The classification evaluation begins at the commencement date and the lease term used in the evaluation includes the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with renewal option periods when the exercise of the renewal option is reasonably certain and failure to exercise such option would result in an economic penalty. All of the Company’s real estate leases are classified as operating leases.
Lease payments for an operating lease transitioning to ASC 842 using the effective date are based on future payments at the transition date and on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term. Since the implicit rate for the Company’s leases is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis, an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment and over a similar term.

For the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022
Lease terms used to calculate the present value of lease payments generally do not include any options to extend, renew, or terminate the lease, as the Company does not have reasonable certainty at lease inception that these options will be exercised. The Company generally considers the economic life of its operating lease ROU assets to be comparable to the useful life of similar owned assets. The Company has elected the short-term lease exception; therefore, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company reviews the impairment of its ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for its other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on its ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for current income taxes in accordance with the laws of the relevant tax authorities. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the fiscal year as adjusted for items which are non-taxable or non-deductible. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable income (loss). In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the statements of operations, except when it is related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is dealt with in equity. Net deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.
An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Penalties and interest incurred related to underpayment of income tax for uncertain tax positions are classified as income tax expense in the period incurred.
The Hong Kong tax returns filed for 2016 and subsequent years are subject to examination by the applicable tax authorities.
The US tax returns filed for 2019 and subsequent years are subject to examination by the applicable tax authorities.
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) in accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires companies to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS presents the diluted effect on a per share basis of the potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS. For the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, there were dilutive shares outstanding.

Noncontrolling Interests
The Company’s noncontrolling interest represents the minority shareholder’s 10% ownership interest in Roshing. The noncontrolling interest is presented in the consolidated balance sheets separately from stockholders’ equity attributable to Tianci. Noncontrolling interest in the results of Roshing are presented on the consolidated statements of operations as allocations of the total income or loss of Roshing for the years ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 between the noncontrolling interest holder and the shareholders of RQS United.
Related parties
Parties, which can be a corporation, other business entity, or an individual, are considered to be related if one party 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. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (“ASUs”). Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.
In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which is an update to ASU Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which introduced the expected credit losses methodology for the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The amendments in Update 2016-13 added Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, and made several consequential amendments to the Codification. Update 2016-13 also modified the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, in accordance with Subtopic 326-30, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses — Available-for-Sale Debt Securities. The amendments in this Update provide an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, which updates the effective date of ASU No. 2016-13 for private companies, not-for-profit organizations and certain smaller reporting companies. The new effective date for these preparers is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning August 1, 2023 as the Company is qualified as an emerging growth company. The adoption of this standard on August 1, 2023 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s future consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”. The amendments in this Update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard on August 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-08, “Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs”. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. ASU 2020-08 is effective for the Company for annual and interim reporting periods beginning August 1, 2021. All entities should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis as of the beginning of the period of adoption for existing or newly purchased callable debt securities. These amendments do not change the effective dates for Update 2017-08. The adoption of this standard on August 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Except as mentioned above, the Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated Financial Statements.

For United States income tax purposes, Tianci has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $967,000 at July 31, 2023. Management has not determined that it is more likely than not that this carryforward will be realized and thus the Company maintained a 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to the United States net operating loss carryforward. Current United States income tax law limits the amount of loss available to offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs.
Uncertain tax positions
The Company evaluates each uncertain tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and measures the unrecognized benefits associated with the tax positions. As of July 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
As of July 31, 2023, tax years 2020 and forward generally remain open for examination for United States Federal and State tax purposes and tax years 2017 and forward generally remain open for examination for foreign tax purposes.
NOTE 6 — CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Credit risk

The cash balance in each financial institution in the United States is insured by the FDIC up to $250,000. As of July 31, 2023, no United States account balance exceeded $250,000. The Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board pays compensation up to a limit of HKD 500,000 (approximately US$64,000) if the bank with which an individual/company holds its eligible deposit fails. As of July 31, 2023, a cash balance of $189,768 was maintained at a financial institution in Hong Kong of which approximately $125,000 was subject to credit risk. Management believes that the financial institution is of high credit quality and continually monitors its credit worthiness.
Customer concentration risk
For the year ended July 31, 2023, two customers accounted for 40.9% and 11.5% of the Company’s total revenues.
For the year ended July 31, 2022, five customers accounted for 40.3%, 23.9%, 10.6%, 10.6% and 10.2% of the Company’s total revenues.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Not Applicable.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO")/Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO/CFO of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation and the existence of the material weaknesses discussed below in “Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,” our management, including our CEO/CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Changes in Internal Controls.
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act or 1934) identified in connection with the evaluation described in the preceding paragraph that occurred during Tianci International, Inc.'s fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect Tianci International, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have assessed the effectiveness of those internal controls as of July 31, 2023 using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) as a basis for our assessment.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
17 |
A material weakness in internal controls is a deficiency in internal control, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. In the course of making our assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, we identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. These material weaknesses consisted of:
· | Because of the Company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing. | |
· | There is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our Company’s management is limited in number, resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation, we would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will reassess this matter in the following year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible. | |
· | The Company does not have a sitting audit committee financial expert, and thus the Company lacks the board oversight role within the financial reporting process. | |
· | There is a lack of formal policies and procedures necessary to adequately review significant accounting transactions. The Company utilizes a third-party independent contractor for the preparation of its financial statements. Although the financial statements and footnotes are reviewed by our management, we do not have a formal policy to review significant accounting transactions and the accounting treatment of such transactions. The third-party independent contractor is not involved in the day to day operations of the Company and may not be provided information from management on a timely basis to allow for adequate reporting/consideration of certain transactions. |
Management does not believe that the current level of the Company’s operations warrants a remediation of the weaknesses identified in this assessment. However, because of the above condition, management’s assessment is that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of July 31, 2023.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
