We note your registration statement on Form F-1 that went effective on June 30, 2022 to offer ADSs, as well as the effective Form 8-A to register those securities under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In light of the effectiveness of these filings, it appears you are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Therefore, in accordance with the applicable requirements for foreign private issuers, please file an annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, which should include financial information for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Additionally, we note that it appears you may soon be required to file an annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, which should include audited financial information for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
