Financial Statements

 

Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F requires that in the case of a company’s initial public offering, the registration statement on Form F-1 shall contain audited financial statements as of a date not older than 12 months from the date of the filing. Nevertheless, Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F provides that “[a] company may comply with only the 15-month requirement in this item 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 Company has included in the Registration Statement its audited consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as of and for the years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company has included as Exhibit 99.8 to the Registration Statement Amendment No.1, a letter in which the Company makes the representations to the Commission required by Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, which states that: (i) the Company is not currently a public reporting company in any jurisdiction; (ii) the Company is not required by any jurisdiction outside the United States to comply with the 12-month updating requirement; (iii) full compliance with Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F at present is impracticable and involves undue hardship for the Company; (iv) the Company does not anticipate that its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 will be available until February 1, 2024; and (v) in no event will the Company seek effectiveness of the Registration Statement if its audited financial statements are older than 15 months at the time of the Company’s initial public offering.

 

  Very truly yours,
