Risks Related to Doing Business in Singapore
Any adverse material changes to the Singapore

economic or other conditions)..., page

1. We note
your disclosure that the spread of COVID-19 did not have any material impact on the Company’s
business during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and the years ended December 31, 2022
and 2021. We also note your disclosure on page 85 that "during the six months ended
June 30, 2023, due to the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the market needs for printers and
other automation equipment returned to a normal level which resulted in a sharp decrease
in the new purchase demand of customers in 2023." Please revise your discussion regarding
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or advise.
Response: The Company has
modified the relevant description of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business during the six months ended June 30,
2023 on page 22-23, 36, 52, 83, 84 and F-30.

2. We note
that management considers customer retention a key factor affecting your results of operations.
We also note that your overall customer retention rates decreased from 52.2% during the six
months ended June 30, 2022, to 45.6% during the same period in 2023, which is also a decrease
from the 48.8% retention rate for fiscal year 2022. Please revise to include a discussion
of the reasons for this decrease.
Response: The Company has
included the reasons for the decrease in customer retention on page 83.
Financial Statements

policies
Prepayments, page F-10
3. It is unclear
if the disclosed policy for prepayments on page F-10 is applicable to prepaid expenses or
perhaps another asset such as receivables. Please revise your policy disclosure, if necessary,
and advise us.
Response: The Company has
modified the policy disclosure for prepayments on page F-10.
Note 17. Subsequent events, page F-30

General
5. We note
the changes you made to your disclosure appearing on the cover page, Summary and Risk Factor
sections relating to legal and operational risks associated with operating in China and PRC
regulations. It is unclear to us that there have been changes in the regulatory environment
in the PRC since the amendment that was filed on June 27, 2023, warranting revised disclosure
to mitigate the challenges you face and related disclosures. The Sample Letters to China-Based
Companies sought specific disclosure relating to the risk that the PRC government may intervene
in or influence your operations at any time, or may exert control over operations of your
business, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of
the securities you are registering for sale. The Sample Letters also sought specific disclosures
relating to uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that the rules and regulations
in China can change quickly with little advance notice. We do not believe that your revised
disclosure referencing the PRC government’s intent to strengthen its regulatory oversight
conveys the same risk. Please revise or advise.
