to specify the particular Frost & Sullivan report you cite. Also, if you commissioned this
report, please file a consent from Frost & Sullivan. Please see Securities Act Rule 436.
3.We note your revised disclosure in response to comment 6. We also note that there are 21
"Other Existing Shareholders." If any one of those 21 shareholders is known to you to be
the beneficial owner of more than five percent of voting securities, please identify that
shareholder in the footnotes to your diagram.
4.We note you revisions in response to comment 7 and your statement that you "have
obtained requisite permissions and licenses for our operations in the PRC in all material
aspects." Please revise to delete the materiality qualifier. State affirmatively whether any
permissions or approvals have been denied. Please also describe the consequences to you
and your investors if you, your subsidiaries, or the VIEs: (i) do not receive or maintain
such permissions or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permissions or
approvals are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change
and you are required to obtain such permissions or approvals in the future. As it appears
that you did not rely on an opinion of counsel with respect to your conclusions regarding
whether you need permissions and approvals to operate your business and to offer
securities to investors, state that that is the case and explain why such an opinion was not
obtained.
