Capitalization, page 38
1.We note your disclosure that pro forma as adjusted reflects the sale of 1,333,333 ordinary
shares at an assumed initial offering price of $6.00 after deducting the estimated
underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, assuming the Underwriter’s over-
allotment option has not been exercised. You further disclose that you estimate such net
proceeds to be $6,159,445. Please tell us how you calculated the pro forma as adjusted
total equity of $11,953,941 as it appears to be inconsistent with the actual total equity of
$4,941,167 adjusted for the estimated net proceeds of $6,159,445.
2.It appears that the disclosure of 6,166,667 ordinary shares issued and outstanding pro
forma is inconsistent with the 5,000,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding at June

3.We note your disclosure that “[y]our revenues from January 1, 2020 to date were below
expectations by approximately 32% primarily due to the COVID-19 situation” and "[y]our
revenues from providing smart campus related technological consulting service from
January 1, 2020 to date were below expectations by approximately 26%.” Because
investors do not know your expected revenue for this period, please revise to present the
impact based on your historical financial performance. In this regard, please discuss how
COVID-19 has impacted operations as compared to prior financial periods. Please refer to
CF Disclosure Guidance: Topic No. 9 (March 25, 2020). As a related matter, please also
discuss the impact of COVID-19 on other income statement financial measures, such as
cost of revenue or net income, to provide additional context for investors. In this regard, a
single financial measure, such as revenue, may be considered an incomplete picture of
your results of operation or financial condition.
