past, current, and anticipated contacts with Iran whether through subsidiaries, distributors,

Please also discuss the materiality of the contacts in quantitative terms and in terms of
qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem important in making an
investment decision. Tell us the approximate dollar amounts of revenues, assets, and
liabilities associated with Iran for the last two fiscal years and the subsequent interim
period. Address the potential impact of the investor sentiment evidenced by divestment
and similar initiatives that have been directed toward companies that have operations
associated with U.S.-designated state sponsors of terrorism.
Board of Directors and Board Committees, page 60
2.Please expand your revisions in response to prior comment 8 to clarify how you expect a
majority of your three-person board to be independent if, as you disclose, "all current
directors," each of whom is an executive officer, will serve on your board after listing. If
current members of your board will resign prior to that time, please identify those
members. If new members will be appointed, please disclose the information specified in
Item 6 of Form 20-F, and file the consents required by Rule 438 of Regulation C.
Controlled Company, page 62
3.Your response to prior comment 5 indicates you are a "controlled company" due to the
share ownership of the Wang family. Your disclosure on pages 17 and 62 indicate it is
due solely to Di Wang's share ownership. Please revise to clarify the basis for your
conclusions regarding why you are a controlled company. Please also reconcile (1) your
revisions on page 62 that your shareholders are offering shares for resale with the
disclosure on your prospectus coverage and pages 10, 29, and 81 that only the registrant is
offering shares; and (2) the disclosure on page 62 that Huisen Wang is offering shares
with your disclosure on page 66 that he holds no shares.
Principal Shareholders, page 66
4.We note your response to prior comment 11. Please reconcile your revisions on pages 66
