months ended October 31, 2019 was computed as if the Business Combination had been
completed on August 1, 2019. Please revise here and elsewhere as necessary to reflect pro
forma earnings information assuming the transaction occurred at the beginning of the
fiscal year presented, August 1, 2018 and carried forward through the interim period
presented.
2.We note your revisions to comment 1. Please revise your tables to present cash dividends
declared per share. Per review of the Diginex financial statements for the year ended
March 31, 2019 an interim dividend of $20 million or $20.24 per ordinary share was
paid.
3.Please revise your calculations of book value per share to compute amounts using the
actual amount of shares issued and outstanding as of the end of the periods you are
presenting instead of using the weighted average shares outstanding. The historical shares
issued and outstanding for JFK should exclude the shares subject to possible redemption.
4.Please revise to calculate the exchange ratio based on the 20 million shares to be issued or
tell us why you do not consider escrowed shares to be outstanding referencing the
applicable accounting guidance.
5.Please show us how you calculated the exchange ratio of 15.54 Singapore NewCo
Ordinary Shares for each ordinary share of Diginex. Please note the denominator in the
exchange ratio calculation should be the amount of shares outstanding for Diginex as of
the end of the latest period you are computing the ratio. Please revise or advise.

Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information, page 174
8.We reviewed your revisions related to comment 3. Please revise your presentation on
page 175 and the shares issued and outstanding on a pro forma basis on page 176 to
include the 2 million shares to be held in escrow. Also revise the weighted average shares
calculation on pages 178 and 180 to include the escrow shares or explain to us your basis
citing relevant accounting guidance for excluding shares in escrow from shares issued and
outstanding as requested in our comment above.
9.Please revise as necessary to ensure pro forma adjustments related to the pro forma
combined statement of profit or loss are computed assuming the transaction was
consummated at the beginning of the fiscal year presented and carried forward through the
interim period presented. Pro forma adjustments related to the pro forma combined
statement of financial position shall be computed assuming the transaction was
consummated at the end of the most recent period for which a balance sheet is required.
Please revise or clarify with regard to the following pro forma adjustments:
•Adjustment (13) on page 177 should assume the replacement of 4,200,000 options
are issued on the balance sheet date October 31, 2019.
•Adjustment (2) on page 178 reflects an adjustment to eliminate direct costs related to
the Business Combination. It appears as if these cost were already eliminated in
adjustment (2) to the combined statement of profit or loss for the year ended July 31,
2019.
•Adjustment (3) on page 178 assumes replacement of the 4,200,000 options as issued
on August 1, 2019 as opposed to the beginning of the fiscal year August 1, 2018.
This adjustment appears to have already been considered in the pro forma combined
statement of profit or loss for the year ended July 31, 2019.
•Adjustment (3) on page 179 determines the accumulated cost of the options using
accrued cost at June 30, 2019 and assumptions as in the binomial option pricing
model for Diginex at March 31, 2019 to reflect the revised value of share options
held by employees as if the shares had been issued August 1, 2018.
Note 5 Employee Benefit Expenses, page F-110
10.Please clarify how you will determine the amount of shares the employees are entitled to
in the share-based payment award equivalent to the value of the accrued deferred salaries.
Note 18 Amounts Due From An Associate - DHPC, page F-119
11.Please disclose the method used to assess impairment of the $2 million loan made on July
2019 to DHPC considering your history of previous impairments related to other loans
and amounts due from DHPC and their current financial situation. In this regard, we
note on page F-117 you impaired $3.9 million loan during the period based on an analysis
of expected credit losses and impaired $5.7 million of working capital advances based on
the high performance computing operations of DHPC being turned off.
