Dear Shun-Chih Chuang:
We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments.
Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested
information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe a
comment applies to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response.
After reviewing your response to this letter, we may have additional comments.
Form 10-Q/A filed February 4, 2025
Note 5. Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net, page 13
1.Please clarify for us how you determined that this $0.6 million asset is comprised of
"e-commerce live stream receivables for goods and e-commerce sales deposit" given
that only $0.2 million of Xinca revenues were recognized in 2024. Tell us how much
of this asset relates to transactions that occurred in 2024 and how much relates to
transactions in 2023 and prior. Clarify how you determined that the entire asset
balance is recoverable at September 30, 2024.
Note 11. Warrants, page 15
We note your response to prior comment 1 and reissue in part. We understand from
your letter that the fair value of your warrant liability decreased by $552,173 in 2024.
However, the warrant liability balance on your September 30, 2024 Balance Sheet
does not reflect this decrease so the warrant liability and total liabilities appear to 2.

be overstated by 70% and 35%, respectively. Further, this unrecognized
adjustment appears material to your reported 2024 net loss of $1.16 million. Based
on the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-4 and ASC 825-10-45-5 it appears that
these changes in the fair value of your warrant liability should be recognized in
earnings in each financial statement period. The guidance in ASC 250-10-50 may be
relevant as well as the disclosure requirements discussed in Item 4.02 of Form 8-
K. Please clarify for us how you considered this issue.
Note 9. Other Non-Current Assets, page 15
3.We understand that this account comprises over 20% of your total equity. Your prior
disclosure characterized the majority of this asset as "prepaid rent expenses pertain to
our offices located in Hangzhou, China". After we highlighted the inconsistency with
your Note 12 disclosure, you revised the characterization to disclose that 99% of the
balance is comprised of "advance payments made under contracts with live
streamers". However, it is not clear whether those payments were actually made given
the substantial disparity between the $1 million change in the account balance and the
corresponding $284,616 cash flow number reported on page 7. Please fully describe
the transactions that generated this asset and explain the disparity from the reported
cash flow amount. Explain how you determined that this is an asset instead of an
expense.
4.Please provide an aging schedule so that we can understand the amounts of the asset
balance that relate to transactions that ocurred in 2024, in 2023, and prior. In this
regard, it appears from Note 21 that certain amounts were acquired from Xinca. Given
that Xinca only generated $211,056 of 2024 revenue (page 41), please explain how
you determined that the entire balance was recoverable at September 30, 2024. We
also note that your October 7, 2024 response letter stated that Xinca previously only
generated $80,798 of annual revenue.
5.Please clarify for us the amount that you deducted from this asset account in 2024 in
connection with the revenue generated by the streamers’ services.
Results of Operations, page 41
6.As previously requested, please revise your Results of Operations disclosure to
specifically explain why your revenue for the quarter decreased from $7.3 million in
2023 to $1.4 million in 2024. Please include the information provided in your letter
and disclose how the adverse market factors you identified are expected to impact
your future operating results. See Item 303(c)(2) of Regulation S-K.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 42
7.We note your response to prior comment 3 and reissue in part. Please quantify in your
filing your expected sources and uses of cash for the next twelve months and the
material terms of the financial support letter. Refer to Regulation S-K 303(b)(1)(ii).
Please also revise your related party disclosures and provide the information required
by ASC 850-10-50-1. Please file a copy of the financial support letter received
January 25, 2025 as an exhibit to your 10-Q. Refer to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation
S-K.
