secondary offering by Grande Holding Limited, which controls over 94% of the
voting shares of the registrant. Given the relative size of the offering, it appears that
the resale transaction may be an indirect primary offering on behalf of the registrant.
Please provide us with a detailed legal analysis of your basis for determining that it is
appropriate to characterize the transaction as a secondary offering under Securities
Act Rule 415(a)(1)(i). Please include a discussion of the relationships of Grande
Holding Limited and its beneficial owners, Mr. Tak Kai Raymond, TAM and Ms.
Yujie, CHEN, with you, and tell us why the resale offering should not be viewed as an
indirect, primary transaction and why the selling shareholder should not be viewed as
an underwriter. Refer to Interpretation 612.09 in the Securities Act Rules Compliance
and Disclosure Interpretations.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.
