Permission required from Hong Kong and PRC authorities, page 12
1.We note your disclosure that you are not required to obtain any permission or approval
from Hong Kong authorities to operate your business, or from Hong Kong or PRC
authorities to conduct this offering or list overseas. Please revise to state, if true, that you
are not required to obtain any permission or approval from PRC authorities to operate
your business. Also revise to clarify whether you relied on the opinion of counsel to come
to this conclusion and, if you did not, please explain why. Finally, please revise the last
sentence of this section so that it applies to all permissions or approvals required by PRC
authorities, as opposed to only permissions or approvals required by the CAC and CSRC.
2.Please state here, as you do on the prospectus cover page, that the legal and operational
risks that arise from operating in Mainland China also apply to businesses operating in

obtained. If you did rely on the opinion of counsel, please revise to name counsel and file
the consent of counsel as an exhibit.
