This letter is in response to the letter dated November 29, 2023, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) addressed to HW Electro Co., Ltd.

An amendment to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed to accompany this letter.

Risk Factors

“We require as significant amount of cash to fund our operations and business expansion.....”, page 20

 

1. You disclose on pages 20 and 56 that you believe you have sufficient capital to meet your anticipated cash needs for the next 12 months. However, your auditor indicates in its review report for the six months ended March 31, 2023 that the substantial doubt about your ability to continue as a going concern has not been alleviated and is still outstanding. Please revise your disclosures to address this discrepancy.

 

In response to the Staff’s comments, we revised our disclosure on pages 20 and 56 of Amendment No. 1 to address the discrepancy.

2. We note your updated disclosures in response to prior comment 5 and reissue the comment in part. Please revise to disclose the fact that your auditor has expressed in its audit and review reports substantial doubt about your ability to continue as a going concern and disclose the potential effect the going concern opinion may have on your ability to raise additional funds.

 

In response to the Staff’s comments, we revised our disclosure on page 55 of Amendment No. 1 to disclose the fact that our auditor has expressed in its audit and review reports substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and disclose the potential effect the going concern opinion may have on our ability to raise additional funds.

 

 

 

Cash Flow from Operating Activities, page 57

 

3. We note your updated disclosure in response to prior comment 6 and reissue our comment. Your discussion of cash flow from operating activities appears to be a recitation of the changes already disclosed in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Please revise to discuss material changes in the underlying drivers that affected these cash flows. These disclosures should include a discussion of the underlying reasons for changes in working capital items that materially affect operating cash flows. Refer to Section IV.B.1 of SEC Release No. 33-8350.

 

In response to the Staff’s comments, we revised our disclosure on pages 58 and 59 of Amendment No. 1 to discuss material changes in the underlying drivers that affected the cash flows and include a discussion of the underlying reasons for changes in working capital items that materially affect operating cash flows.
