In this regard, we note from your response to prior comment 18 that in 2023, 87.2% of revenues were derived from customers in the PRC, and at page 10 you state that if any of the "top three customers" who accounted for this 87.2% of your 2023 revenues were to cease business with you, it could have a "material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations." We further note that 57.5% of products 1.

Address risks specific to working with a majority of customers and suppliers based in the PRC, including any direct or indirect impacts of the regulatory environment in China and the legal and operational risks and uncertainties that China-based entities face. For example, acknowledge that the Chinese government has significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of businesses of entities based in China and could intervene or influence their operations at any time, and explain whether this could in turn limit these customers' and suppliers' ability to continue conducting business with you.

If not, please clearly state as much, and if so, please provide additional information about the material terms of such facilities, or tell us why such disclosure is not required. Make conforming revisions where you discuss using short term loan facilities to extend credit terms to customers in the prospectus summary. Regulatory Environment, page 71 5.We note your response to prior comment 10 and reissue. For each regulation discussed, please also disclose the material effects of the regulation upon your business as required by Item 4.B.8 of Form 20-F. In this regard, your added statement that these regulations have "no material effects" is inconsistent with their affirmative identification in this section as "the main laws and regulations...that we anticipate may materially affect our operations..." Explain, for example, what you must do to remain in compliance with each regulation or why you fall into an exemption from the regulation, as you have done for certain of the regulations in your response letter.

August 14, 2024 Page 3 Principal and Selling Shareholders, page 87 6.Please explain why you characterize Tran Tieu Cam as an "Independent Third Party," or revise the disclosure in this section accordingly. In this regard, we note that Novel Majestic is identified as a greater than 5% shareholder prior to the initial public offering, and the definition of "Independent Third Party" at page vii includes any person who "is not a 5% owner of, does not control and is not controlled by or under common control with any 5% owner." 7.We note from your response to prior comment 19 that the controlling owners of the Resale Shareholders and Novel Majestic have served in various consulting and advisory roles with the company.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow, page F-6 9.We note your response to prior comment 16 in which you assert the interest income presented under investing activities pertains to interest received from bank fixed deposits, which are not related to your operations, and are therefore interest income under investing activities in accordance with ASC 230-10-45-16. We do not agree with your conclusion. Income from bank deposits, fixed or otherwise, are not investing activities either as enumerated in ASC 230-10-45-12 or as Investing Activities defined in the FASB Codification Master Glossary. Please modify your presentation or tell us why you believe your current presentation is appropriate. General Please provide us with additional explanation as to why you are registering the resale offering at this time, particularly in light of the fact that the Resale Shares will be issued as part of the Group restructuring, which will be completed in connection with the primary offering. Your response to prior comment 19 states that the number of resale shares was determined "by reference to services provided and/or to be provided...and the number of shares held by the Resale Shareholders," but it remains unclear as a threshold matter why the resale offering is being registered concurrently with but separate from the primary offering. Additionally, please provide more detail regarding the number of shares or percentage ownership of the holding company to be issued to each of the Resale Shareholders and Novel Majestic. In this regard, we note that the pre-IPO ownership of Cosmic Magnet and Rosywood Holdings (i.e., 4.90% each) will align with their early 10.
