Item 13. Defaults, Dividend Arrearages and Delinquencies, page 71

2. We note your disclosures of the amounts involving your financial leasing contract dispute, the legal matter with the previous U.S. legal advisor of Cetus Capital, and the amended satisfaction and discharge agreement. We also note your disclosure on page F-35 that the amount related to the litigation matter with the previous U.S. legal advisor of Cetus Capital was not able to be quantified, and no related liability was accrued. Please tell us whether any of the other amounts have been accrued as of the reported periods and how you complied with the disclosure requirements of ASC 450-20-50 related to the three matters. Additionally, tell us your consideration for disclosure on page 63 pursuant to the requirements for Item 8.A.7 of Form 20-F.

Response:

During the reporting period ended December 31, 2024, the Company has evaluated all three legal matters disclosed in its annual report on Form 20-F in accordance with ASC 450-20:

(a) Accrual Status of Legal Matters

(1) Financial Leasing Contract Dispute

We have accrued RMB1.3 million ($0.18 million) under "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities" (constituting a portion of the item "Long-term payments of leaseback, current" of $1,242,154 as at December 31, 2024), and RMB1.5 million ($0.21 million) under "Other non-current liabilities" on our balance sheet (constituting a portion of the item "Long-term payments of leaseback" of $270,412 as at December 31, 2024). The amount represents the present value of future cash outflows as of December 31, 2024, calculated using the original contract's discount rate of 9.4%. While the plaintiff may demand the return of the remaining rent and payment of liquidated damages which is less than the amount the Company has already accrued, the Company maintains that its accrual is reasonable based on facts and legal assessments as of December 31, 2024.

(2) Amended Satisfaction and Discharge Agreement

The full amount of $662,500 has been accrued under "Accrued expenses and other liabilities" as disclosed on the item "Deferred underwriter commission payable" in Note 12 of our financial statements. This obligation is fixed and uncontested.

(3) Litigation with Former U.S. Legal Advisor

An action was commenced against us in December 2024 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by the previous U.S. legal advisor of Cetus Capital, which became our subsidiary after the closing of the Business Combination, relating to certain legal fees owed. Such action sought relief for a sum of $478,715, interest thereon at 10 percent. per annum, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and such other and further relief as deemed just and proper. We have accrued $478,715 and 10% interest amount of $19,411 under "Accrued expenses and other liabilities". Regarding related reasonable attorneys' fees, as we have not received a claim on the specific amount of attorney's fee, we are unable to quantify this amount and therefore no accrual has been recorded as the loss contingency does not meet the "probable and estimable" threshold under ASC 450-20. We have disclosed on page F-35 of our annual report.

(b) ASC 450-20-50 Compliance

(1) The guidelines are as follows:

Disclosure of the nature of an accrual made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 450-20-25-2, and in some circumstances the amount accrued, may be necessary for the financial statements not to be misleading. If no accrual is made for a loss contingency because one or both of the conditions in paragraph 450-20-25-2 are not met, disclosure of the contingency shall be made when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may have been incurred. The disclosure shall indicate: (A) The nature of the contingency, and (B) An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss (or state that such an estimate cannot be made).

(2) Our consideration:

Regarding the above matter, we have fully accrued all liabilities on our accounting records except for related reasonable attorneys' fees. Pursuant to ASC 450-20-50 requirements, no additional disclosure in Note 21 of our financial statements is required. As for related reasonable attorneys' fees that were not able to be quantified as at December 31, 2024, we have state that such an estimate cannot be made in Note 21 of our financial statements.

(c) Item 8.A.7 of Form 20-F

In addition, with respect to Item 8.A.7 of Form 20-F, the Company has evaluated all legal proceedings that could materially impact our financial position. The Company respectfully confirms that future filings of its annual report on Form 20-F will include the required disclosures in the format as follows:

Legal proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, including such as disclosed in "Item 13. Defaults, Dividend Arrearages and Delinquencies". We have evaluated all legal proceedings that could materially impact our financial position. We are currently not a party to, and we are not aware of any threat of, any legal or administrative proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have any material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash-flow or results of operations.

Item 15. Controls and Procedures

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, page 71

3. We note that you identified material weaknesses; however, you do not include a statement as to whether your internal control over financial reporting is effective as required by Item 15(b)(3) of Form 20-F. Please revise to include a statement as to whether ICFR is effective in future filings. Also revise "significant weaknesses" appropriately.

Response: The Company respectfully confirms that future filings of its annual report on Form 20-F will include the required disclosures in the format as follows:

ITEM 15. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures Evaluation

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, which is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2024, were not effective.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP"). Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. The assessment was based on criteria established in the framework Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

In relation to the examination of our combined and consolidated financial statements presented in this Annual Report, we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and as such our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 were not effective. The Company did not have a formal risk assessment process and internal control framework over financial reporting, which included the lack of a formal group-wide risk assessment process to identify, assess, address or mitigate the risks identified, and sufficient internal control over a financial reporting framework to maintain effective internal controls within the organization, and which may increase risk of error, fraud, misstatement of financial reporting, or non-compliance with related regulations for a U.S. listed group. Additionally, the Company lacked sufficient financial reporting and accounting personnel with appropriate knowledge of GAAP and SEC reporting requirements to properly address complex GAAP technical accounting issues and to prepare and review financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with GAAP and reporting requirements set forth by the SEC.

A comprehensive assessment of our internal control, aimed at identifying and reporting material weaknesses and other deficiencies, was not conducted by our independent registered public accounting firm. Performing such an assessment or having an audit of our internal control over financial reporting might have revealed additional deficiencies.

To address the identified material weaknesses stemming from the audit of our combined and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, we intend to implement various measures, including the hiring of additional accounting personnel to enhance the financial reporting function and the establishment of a financial and system control framework. We also intend to initiate regular U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting training programs for our accounting and financial personnel. Moreover, we are in the process of developing and implementing a set of policies and procedures for period-end financial reporting. However, we cannot provide assurance that these measures will be entirely effective in remediating the material weaknesses in a timely manner or at all.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

Being a company with less than US$1.235 billion in revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company is entitled to certain reduced reporting and other requirements that are typically appl
