page 22
4.We note your revised disclosure that "[a]s the patent [managed by Banjia] is held in
China while we are a non-Chinese entity, Banjia must adhere to Chinese legal
standards, and the disparity between intellectual property laws and dispute resolution

patent ownership and enforcement." Please revise to briefly describe the disparities in

and investors from these disparities.

9.We note your response to comment 30. Please revise your disclosure to quantify the
general costs of smart farming compared to traditional greenhouses.
Our Strengths, page 59
10.We note your response to comment 31 that you "do not have formal agreements with
third-party agricultural experts" and instead "leverage opportunities by participating in
various industry exhibitions and visiting academic agricultural scholars and experts
from universities," and that "[i]n collaboration with these experts, [you] conduct
experimental projects in [y]our company, such as experiments involving nutrient
solutions and probiotics for crop growth," which "allows [you] to gain agricultural
expertise at a minimal cost, primarily covering travel expenses, rather than entering
into formal agreements or incurring the cost of maintaining in-house experts." Please
revise the disclosure in your filing to include this additional detail. Please also clarify
whether you pay these experts any fees for their collaboration.
Our Products, page 61
11.We note your response to comment 34. Please revise to clarify whether customers
who do not purchase your subscription packages can still benefit from your user
application and limited analytics.
Note 11, page F-20
We reviewed your response to comment 44 and reissue in part. Since Li Xia Du is the
majority stockholder, it remains unclear why the redeemable Series E Preferred Stock
that she owns is not classified as temporary equity consistent with the guidance in
ASC 480-10-S99.7. In this regard, we note the risk factors on page 29 and your
disclosure on page 74 that "Our directors may be appointed or removed from office by
an ordinary resolution of shareholders". Consequently, it appears that the majority
stockholder has the ability to ultimately cause the Registrant to redeem her preferred
stock via shareholder resolution and/or the appointment of Directors. We may have 12.

further comment.
13.Please clarify where the PFAI Series E preferred stock is presented in your June 30,
2024 Balance Sheet on page F-23. Also, please expand your disclosure to clarify
whether there is any circumstance under which the holder of the PFAI Class E
preferred stock can convert/exchange the stock for PFAI Class A common stock. If
that possibility exists then presumably the Registrant could lose control of PFAI.
General
14.We note your response to comment 45 and your disclosure on page 4 that you
"engaged a distributor in British Columbia in October 2023, a distributor in
Saskatchewan in November 2023, and a distributor in New Zealand in November
2023." Please disclose the material terms of your agreements with these distributors
and file these agreements as exhibits to your registration statement, or provide us your
analysis as to why you believe such contracts do not need to be filed. Please also
disclose the material terms of your agreements with Seonwo and Banjia for the
manufacture of the Model S and M, and file these agreements as exhibits to your
registration statement. Finally, please disclose the material terms of your development
