Dear Sebastian Toke:

comments.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances
or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response.

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-4
Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, page 60
1.Please explain what the RFAC and GCL columns in the tables on pages 61 and 62
represent. In this regard, the income statement information appears to reflect historical
and not pro forma results for each entity while the balance sheet data includes pro forma
information. Also, these columns do not include “combined” information. Please revise
accordingly.

2.We note your response to prior comment 2. Please further revise to disclose the fact that
in the event more than 660,602 public shareholders elect to redeem and GCL waives the
minimum cash condition, the Sponsor will be responsible for all expenses incurred by RF
Acquisition Corp. and PubCo will be responsible for expenses incurred by GCL up to
$4,500,000. Similar revisions should be made wherever you discuss the maximum
redemption scenario assuming waiver of the minimum cash condition.

3.We note your effective tax rate decreased significantly from fiscal 2023 to 2024, which
you mainly attribute to an increase in deferred tax benefits resulting from the recognition
of additional deferred tax assets from net operating loss in your Singapore subsidiaries
during fiscal 2024. Please tell us how the rate reconciliation on page F-87 supports this
disclosure or revise as necessary. In this regard, it appears your tax provision was
impacted more by the tax rate difference for entities outside of Singapore as well as gains
or loss from foreign exchange transactions. Also, revise to clarify whether you anticipate
the recent decrease in your tax provision to be indicative of a trend in your future effective
tax rates.

Note 5. Related Party Transactions
Promissory Note - Related Party, page F-44
4.We note from your response to prior comment 2, GCL provided five of the extension
payments made during fiscal 2024, which based on your pro forma financial statements
appear to be included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in RF Acquisition’s
balance sheet. Please revise your disclosures here to clarify that these payments are not
included in the related party promissory notes payable.
5.We note from your revised disclosures on page F-45 that the Sponsor provided the
$225,000 extension payment made on December 27, 2023. Please tell us, and revise to
clarify, whether such payment was funded by the company’s director, Melvin Xeng Thou
Ong, and is included in the $1,346,573 balance of outstanding Director Promissory Notes
at March 31, 2024. In your response, provide us with a breakdown of the Director
Promissory Note balance as of the most recent balance sheet date. Also, tell us why you
refer to certain extension payments as being made by your Sponsor when it appears such
amounts were funded by and are due to RF Acquisition’s director.

6.Please revise to include a discussion of the various type of costs included in cost of
revenue for each of your revenue streams. In addition, to the extent any specific cost
contributed materially to the change in cost of revenue during fiscal 2024, revise your
disclosures on page 193 to include a discussion of such impact in lieu of attributing the
change to the increase or decrease in revenue for a particular segment.
Goodwill, page F-62
7.You state that management has determined, the company has one reporting unit within the
entity at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Considering the
acquisitions of Starry Jewelry and Martiangear during fiscal 2024, explain further how
you determined there is only one reporting unit for which goodwill is monitored or revise.
In addition, please revise to include the information required by ASC 350-20-50-1 and
280-10-60-1, in total and for each reportable segment.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets, page F-62
8.We note your response to prior comment 6. Please address the following information as it
relates to your game codes:
•Tell us how you track the age of game codes. For example, clarify whether each game
code is tracked separately or whether all game codes acquired in the same batch are
tracked together.
•On average, tell us how long game codes are held by the company before they are
sold.
•Provide us with data regarding the age of your game codes at the end of each period
presented.
•Tell us whether management has a policy to write-off game codes after a certain
period of time. If so, provide us with the details of such policy.
Please address the following as it relates to your accounting for game codes:
•We note in your response to prior comment 6 that the console game codes are
acquired in batches but that the cost of each game code is transferred to cost of goods
sold upon the sale of each individual code. Confirm the unit of account for the game
codes. For example, clarify whether you consider each game code to be a separate
intangible asset. To the extent each code is not a separate unit, explain how you group
your units of account.
•Given that the primary purpose of purchasing the console game codes is for resale,
tell us how you considered the guidance in ASC 350-30-35-2, which states that the
useful life of an intangible asset is the period over which the asset is expected to
contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of that entity. In this regard,
while your response states that each game code is available for sale indefinitely,
explain further how you considered the historical sales of your game codes in
determining the period over which such codes are expected to contribute directly or
indirectly to future cash flows.

•Describe how you considered the life of the console game associated with the game
codes in your analysis, including details about the life cycles of the games.
•Your response appears to focus on the guidance in ASC 350-30-35-3(c). However,
tell us how you considered the other criteria in this guidance. In this regard,
specifically address your consideration of ASC 350-30-35-3 (a) and (e) and the fact
that game codes are purchased for resale and your history of selling such game codes.
Also, explain how you considered that games may become less popular over time or
as new versions of the games are released.
10.Please elaborate on your impairment policy for the remaining yet-to-be-sold game codes.
In your response, include a more detailed discussion of factors that may contribute to
impairments. For example, describe any unexpected events or conditions that will reduce
future sales of the game codes, and how you consider the aging of game codes or any
slow-moving game codes.
11.We note that you recorded a $0.5 million impairment loss on indefinite-lived intangible
assets for the year ended March 31, 2024. Please tell us whether this was a result of your
annual impairment assessment or an interim triggering event. If the latter, describe the
triggering event associated with the impairments, tell us when management made the
determination to impair the game codes, and provide us with details about the age of the
impaired game codes.
12.Please clarify whether you have a right of return to the vendors, game publishers or
developers for any unsold game codes. If so, discuss such return policies and revise your
disclosures accordingly.
Note 18. Segments, page F-91
13.You state on page F-60 that the company considers itself to be operating within four
operating and reportable segments, however, you state here that you are operating in three
reportable segments. Please explain or revise. Clarify what comprises the “Others”
segment in fiscal 2024 and why that segment is not presented for fiscal 2023.
