Amendment No.1 to Registration Statement on Form F-1

 

Prospectus Summary

Corporate History and Structure, page 3

 

1.

In Note 14 on page F-29, you disclose you effected a stock split whereby each 3 issued and outstanding ordinary shares were divided into 8 ordinary shares on November 8, 2023, and revised the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity to reflect such a stock split. However, you disclose here you had a stock split “at a ratio of 3-for-8.” It appears it should be described “at a ratio of 8-for-3” as it is a stock split and not a reverse stock split. Please revise here and on pages 63 and F-33.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the relevant disclosure on pages 1, 3, 58, 59, 63 and F-33.

 

The Offering, page 20 

 

2.

You disclose you are offering 1,400,000 ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.0001 per share. Given the share split of your ordinary shares occurred on November 8, 2023, please revise the par value to reflect the latest par value of US$0.0000375 per share here and in other relevant sections throughout the filing.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the relevant disclosure on the cover page and pages ii and 20.

3.

We note that you have effected a 8-for-3 stock split on November 8, 2023 and that your historical financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split. Please ensure that your independent auditor revises its report on page F-2 to reference the stock split and dual dates its opinion in accordance with PCAOB AS 3110.05 and provide an updated consent to reflect the revised audit report.

 

In response to the Staff’s comment, our independent auditor has revised its report on page F-2 and provided an updated consent to reflect the revised audit report.

 

  Very truly yours,
