4. Please provide your updated financial statements in your next amendment, or tell us how you determined that you comply with the updating requirements of Item 8 of Form 20-F.

 

Response: We have included in the Registration Statement its audited financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and unaudited condensed interim financial statements as of June 30, 2020, and for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

 

Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F states that in the case of a company’s initial public offering, the registration statement on Form F-1 must contain audited financial statements as of a date not older than 12 months from the date of the offering unless a representation is made pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4.

 

We are making the representation pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4, as amended and in effect as of the date hereof, which provides that a company may instead comply with the 15-month requirement “if the company is able to represent that it is not required to comply with the 12-month requirement in any other jurisdiction outside the United States and that complying with the 12-month requirement is impracticable or involves undue hardship.”

 

The representation letter has been filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form F-1.
