Risks Related to Doing Business in Jurisdictions We Operate, page 4
2.We note your response to prior comment 6. Please revise your disclosure here to
describe the significant regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks you are subject to
due to your operations in Hong Kong. For example, specifically discuss risks arising
from the legal system in China, including risks and uncertainties regarding the
enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with
little advance notice. Further, disclose that the Chinese government may exert more
control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based
issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of
the securities you are registering for sales.

Please revise the body of the risk factor further to state clearly that the Chinese
government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, which could
result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of your securities. Also,
given recent statements by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more
oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreign
investment in China-based issuers, acknowledge the risk that any such action could
significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer
securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or
be worthless.

We note your response to prior comment 44. Please address the following:
•Please provide us additional details regarding the process with the Hong Kong
Inland Revenue Department (“IRD”) to use unused tax losses to offset future
taxable income. Specifically tell us the factors the IRD considers when
determining whether to confirm the use of unused tax losses.
•Please discuss the key factors you considered in determining that there was
significant uncertainty whether the IRD would confirm your use of unused tax
losses which resulted in concluding that the realization of the deferred tax asset
was not more likely than not to be realized and a full valuation allowance should
be recognized. For example, tell us how often and why the IRD has not confirmed
the use of unused tax losses in the past and tell us whether the IRD confirmed the
use of tax losses utilized during 2024.11.
