We note your risk factors on pages 20 and 26, which discuss your reliance on dividends and other distributions paid by your PRC subsidiaries, and that you intend to retain most, if not all, of your available funds and future earnings and do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future after this offering. We also note your disclosure on page 51, which states, We are a holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and we gain substantial income by way of dividends paid to us from our PRC subsidiaries.” Please expand your disclosure on the prospectus cover page to provide a description of how cash is transferred through your organization and state whether any transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made to date.
