Re:Real Messenger Corp
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-4
Filed August 21, 2023
File No. 333-273102
Dear Kwai Hoi Ma:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our July 28, 2023 letter.
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-4 filed August 22, 2023
Cover page
1.Please explain what the reference to "ninth note" issued on July 3, 2023 for $350,000 in
your definition of references to "Notes," or revise as necessary. In this regard, according
to the disclosures in Nova Vision's June 30, 2023 Form 10-Q, it appears the ninth note
was issued on July 5, 2023 for $75,030.
2.You state here and elsewhere throughout the filing that the Merger Consideration will be
paid in the form of 4,500,000 newly issued PubCo Ordinary Shares that will be paid 20%
in PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and 80% in PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares.
However, you also refer to the issuance of 450,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and
4,050,000 PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares, which would equate to an allocation of 10% to

Class A and 90% to Class B Ordinary Shares. Please explain this apparent inconsistency
or revise as necessary.
3.We note your response to prior comment 17. To the extent material, provide prominent
disclosure about the legal and operational risks associated with being based in or having
the majority of the company’s operations in China. Your disclosure should make clear
whether these risks could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of
the securities you are registering for sale or could significantly limit or completely hinder
your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such
securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Your disclosure should address how
recent statements and regulatory actions by China’s government, such as those related to
the use of variable interest entities and data security or anti-monopoly concerns, have or
may impact the company’s ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or
list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. Please disclose the location of your auditor’s
headquarters and whether and how the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, as
amended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, and related regulations will affect
your company.
Prospectus Summary, page 1
4.In your summary of risk factors, disclose the risks that your corporate structure and being
based in or having the majority of the company’s operations in China poses to investors.
In particular, describe the significant regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks with
cross-references to the more detailed discussion of these risks in the prospectus. For
example, specifically discuss risks arising from the legal system in China, including risks
and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in
China can change quickly with little advance notice; and the risk that the Chinese
government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, or may exert more
control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based
issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the
securities you are registering for sale. Acknowledge any risks that any actions by the
Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted
overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or
completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and
cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
5.Disclose each permission or approval that you or your subsidiaries are required to obtain
from Chinese authorities to operate your business and to offer the securities being
registered to foreign investors. State whether you or your subsidiaries are covered by
permissions requirements from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC),
Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) or any other governmental agency that is
required to approve the operations of your subsidiaries, and state affirmatively whether
you have received all requisite permissions or approvals and whether any permissions or
approvals have been denied. Please also describe the consequences to you and your

investors if you or your subsidiaries: (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.

Risk Factors, page 28
7.We note your response to our prior comment 7 and reissue the comment. Please include a
corresponding risk factor for each risk mentioned in the risk factor summary and provide
detailed discussion of why these factors pose a risk to public shareholders.
8.To the extent the Chinese government is able to exert significant oversight and discretion
over the conduct of your business, please revise to highlight separately the risk that the
Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, which could
result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the securities you are
registering. Also, given recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent
to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or
foreign investment in China-based issuers, acknowledge the risk that any such action
could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer
securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be
worthless.

9.We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 9. Please further revise to
clarify which steps in your remediation efforts, if any, you have begun. In this regard, you
state "we intend to take" a number of measures to remediate the material weakness, which
implies you have not yet begun such efforts. However, you also state that you can give no
assurance that the measures "we have taken" or plan to take in the future will remediate
the material weakness. To the extent you have begun such efforts, revise to disclose any
material costs incurred to date as part of your remediation plan.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 126
15.Your response to prior comment 1 refers to revised disclosures on page 127, which states
that Nova's current public shareholders will own 17.65% of the issued share capital of
PubCo. However, elsewhere in the filing (i.e. cover page and pages 9 and 134) you
indicate that the public shareholders will own 24.35% of the issued share capital. Please
explain this apparent inconsistency and revise your disclosures as necessary.
Notes to unaudited condensed combined financial statements
Basis of Presentation, page 131
16.We note that you removed pro forma adjustments (8) and (9) in response to prior
comment 25. However, your disclosures on page 132 continue to state that you intend to
enter into subscription agreements with various investors for the private placement of
ordinary shares, which will close shortly before the closing of the Business Combination
resulting in gross proceeds of $11.5 million. In your response, please tell us the status of
any negotiations related to this Private Placement. To the extent you have commitments
in place to close such Private Placements prior to the Business Combination as your
disclosures imply, explain why you removed these adjustments. Alternatively, revise to
include a discussion in your footnotes regarding the impact to the pro forma financial
statements, including pro forma earnings per share, if you were to receive such financing
or the implications to Real Messenger's business if such agreements are not finalized, and
revise the disclosures on page 132 as necessary.
