4. We note on page F-4 that you have $5.6 million of construction in progress recorded as an asset as of September 30, 2024, which represents costs of construction incurred for Chongqing's new manufacturing facilities for heparin products.

We have amended the disclosure on page 100 of the Amended Registration Statement accordingly.

For the costs of construction in progress, according to the ACS 360-10, we review construction in progress for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

5. As a related matter, we note from page F-7 that you had $2.6 million in payments for construction in progress during the year ended September 30, 2024 and that there is still $1.9 million unpaid as of September 30, 2024.

To protect the interests of homebuyers, the Chengdu government has rolled out a series of measures and provided financial assistance to ensure the project's completion. The government will be responsible for delivering the finished properties to homebuyers, with the delivery expected to be in May 2025.

These assets have not been subject to impairment and the reasons are as follow: (i) The properties purchased are situated at subway entrances, offering highly convenient transportation; (ii) There are primary and secondary schools in the surrounding area, which help to categorize them as school - district properties; and (iii) Chengdu is a city prioritized for national development.

According to 360-10, a long-lived asset must be tested for impairment when events or changes indicate its carrying amount may not be recoverable (e.g. significant decline in market value, adverse legal changes and asset disposal plans).
