2.Disclose in the prospectus summary that your independent auditor has included a going
concern qualification in its report on your financial statements, and discuss the aspects of
your financial condition leading to such qualification.
Use of Proceeds, page 30
3.We note your statement that, “If an unforeseen event occurs or business conditions
change, we may use the proceeds of this offering differently than as described in this
prospectus.” Because you may only reserve the right to change the use of proceeds if such
reservation is due to certain contingencies that are discussed specifically and the
alternatives to such use in that event are indicated, please provide additional specificity or
revise this statement accordingly. Refer to Instruction 7 to Item 504 of Regulation S-K.

Cash Flows and Liquidity, page 39
4.Given your indication that you plan to finance operations through "borrowing from [y]our
principal stockholder" if additional capital resources are needed in the short term, please
disclose whether there are any contractual or otherwise concrete arrangements with
respect to such financing. In this regard, we note that your current related party
borrowings are characterized as due within less than one year at page 40 and that one of
the stated uses of proceeds of the offering is to prepay such debt. To the extent there is no
formal agreement pursuant to which your principal stockholder has agreed to provide
financing, state as much. Make conforming revisions where you discuss the potential need
for additional financing in the risk factor at page 18.
Business, page 44
5.We note your disclosure regarding the "significant increase in usage of [y]our platform
and services during the COVID-19 pandemic," and the reduction of usage following the
pandemic. Please revise where appropriate throughout your business disclosure and the
remainder of the prospectus to provide more detailed and quantified information about the
impact of the pandemic on your historical results of operations and performance metrics.
For example, quantify the "surge in revenue...for virtual events during the COVID-19 era"
mentioned at page 44, and at page 46, clarify how many of the "approximately 3,000
events" that you have supported occurred during the pandemic. Lastly, where you discuss
the webcasting industry at page 44, please elaborate on why you "expect that the demand
for webcasting services will grow" when you disclose elsewhere that demand for your
services supporting virtual and hybrid events has fallen in the post-COVID-19
environment.
Our Customers, page 47
Please provide additional information regarding the number of customers you have
and your arrangements with such customers, including whether you typically enter into
long-term agreements or are engaged on an event-by-event basis. Clarify whether the "top

affect [y]our revenue and profitability" and that "if they were to cancel their agreement...it

disclose the material terms of your agreement with this customer, and file the agreement
as an exhibit to the registration statement or tell us why you are not required to do so.

Our Suppliers, page 48
7.Elaborate on the role of third party service providers in your business model and the
extent to which you rely on them to provide core services to customers. In this regard, we
note that a number of additional third parties upon which you rely and/or with which you
do business, such as hardware providers, healthcare organizations, and marketing and
advertising agencies, are mentioned elsewhere in the prospectus. Explain the frequency
with which you “engage subcontractors for delivering events,” as mentioned at page 42,
and disclose the service that the supplier accounting for 27.2% of your total purchases in
fiscal 2023 provides.

growth strategies, as we note that this information is provided for some but not all of the

artificial intelligence technologies into your platform and expansion into Latin America
and the Middle East at pages 13 and 18, respectively.
Corporate History and Structure, page 55
9.Please provide additional context on the background of your business by disclosing when
you began operations and whether such operations were conducted under the name
"Xyvid, Inc." until June 2021. Additionally, explain how the 90 shares of common stock
in TEN Holdings, Inc. issued to V-Cube, Inc. in July 2024 came to be the 50,000,000
shares of common stock shown as owned by V-Cube, Inc. at page 60. If such increase is
due to a stock split, please note that all amendments to the registrant's certificate of
incorporation must be filed pursuant to Item 601(b)(3)(i) of Regulation S-K.
Executive and Director Compensation, page 59
10.We note your disclosure that the registrant “plans to enter into employment agreements
with each of the named executive officers prior to…effectiveness of the registration
statement,” but also that the named executive officers have currently effective

of the employment agreements between the identified officers and the holding company
registrant, once known, and clarify whether such agreements will supersede the officers’
current agreements with TEN Events, Inc.
