We
note from your disclosure on September 3, 2024, 29,999,999 shares of Class B shares with a par value of $0.0001 were issued. Please
tell us your basis for accounting for the issuance of these shares on a retrospective basis. In addition, please tell us your consideration
of ASC 505-20.
Response:
The Company has revised the disclosure on pages F-17 and F-37 of the Registration Statement in accordance with the Staff’s
comment. The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the allotment of 29,999,999 Class B ordinary shares was part of its recapitalization
prior to the completion of its initial public offering (the “IPO”). This allotment was solely intended to increase the number
of shares and represented an adjustment to the Company’s share structure, aimed at realigning its capital structure to facilitate
the subsequent issuance of new shares for the IPO. The shares were issued at par value, with no consideration paid. Therefore, the Company
considers the allotment of 29,999,999 Class B ordinary shares to be a share split.
Under
ASC 260-10-55-12, when there is an increase in the number of ordinary shares as a result of a stock split, the calculations of basic
and diluted earnings per share (EPS) should be adjusted retroactively for all periods presented. If such a change occurs after the close
of the period but before the financial statements are issued or made available, the per-share computations for those and any prior-period
financial statements presented must be based on the new number of shares.
Additionally,
in accordance with ASC 505-20, the guidance for stock splits allows for retrospective adjustments to the number of shares outstanding
to present a consistent historical record. Thus, the allotment should be reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest
period presented, ensuring the comparability and consistency of the financial statements. Further in accordance with SAB Topic 4C, such
change to capital structure shall also be given retroactive effect in the balance sheet.
Therefore,
the Company believes it is appropriate to reflect the transaction on a retroactive basis. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively
restated in compliance with the relevant guidance under ASC 260-10-55-12, ASC 505-20 and SAB Topic 4C.
Please
contact the undersigned at (852) 3923-1188 if you have any questions with respect to the responses contained in this letter.
Sincerely,
