Washington, D.C. 20549 Attn: Anastasia Kaluzienski Robert Littlepage Jan Woo Re: Alpha Technology Group Ltd (the " Company ") Form 20-F for the Year Ended September 30, 2024 Filed January 27, 2025 File No. 001-41847 Dear Sir or Madam: This letter sets forth the Company's responses to the comments contained in the letter dated March 19, 2025 from the staff (the " Staff ") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " Commission ") regarding the Company's annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 filed with the Commission on January 27, 2025 (the " Form 20-F "). The Staff's comments are repeated below and followed by the Company's responses thereto. All references in the responses refer to the relevant revisions in the draft Amendment No. 1 to the Form 20-F (the " Form 20-F/A ") attached hereto as Exhibit A . Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2024 Risk Factors You may incur additional costs and procedural obstacles..., page 35 1. We note your disclosure that most of your directors and executive officers are Hong Kong nationals or residents and a substantial portion of their assets are located in Hong Kong outside of the United States. Please identify any directors, officers, or members of senior management located in the PRC/Hong Kong. Additionally, please include a separate "Enforceability" section that addresses whether or not investors may bring actions under civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against you, your officers or directors who are residents of a foreign country, and whether investors may enforce these civil liability provisions when your assets, officers, and directors are located outside of the United States. Response : In response to the Staff's comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on pages 45 and 46 of the Form 20-F/A. Business Overview, page 48 2. We note that revenue from your AI-OCR software accounted for 6.5% of your total revenue in fiscal year 2024 but your website appears to be focused on your AI technology. For example, you state that you are the "first Hong Kong-based AI company listed on Nasdaq…[and you] focus on AI-related technologies with ERP systems to provide AI driven automation processes…[and your] AI solution helps businesses manage communications with AI." We also note public statements that the company uses LLM applications to create AI solutions for businesses and governments. Please discuss the full scope of AI services that the company offers and clarify whether they encompass more than the AI-OCR software. Discuss the risk and uncertainties related to providing these AI services. Further, explain whether management envisions AI becoming a growing part of the company's business offerings and if so, disclose the timeline for such development. Response : In response to the Staff's comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on pages 14 and 47 of the Form 20-F/A. Results of Operations, page 65 3. We note your aggregation of the results of operations of the successor and predecessor periods for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. Please note that it is generally inappropriate to combine financial information for predecessor and successor periods for purposes of MD&A discussion as the financial statements are prepared on different bases of accounting and are therefore not comparable. In this regard, please revise your results of operations discussion to separately present and discuss the historical results of your predecessor and successor or explain to us how your presentation complies with Item 303 of Regulation S-K. To the extent you include a supplemental comparative discussion of the results prepared on a pro forma basis for the relevant pro forma period, it should reflect all relevant pro forma adjustments in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and disclosure should be provided to explain how the pro forma presentation was derived, why you believe the presentation to be useful, and any potential risks associated with using such a presentation. Response : In response to the Staff's comment, the Company has revised its disclosure in the section headed "Results of Operations" beginning on page 63 of the Form 20-F/A. Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, page F-5 4. Please explain to us your basis in GAAP for presenting the results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2023 on a basis that combines the predecessor operating results from October 1, 2022 to October 11, 2022 with the successor operating results from October 12, 2022 to September 30, 2023. Response : In response to the Staff's comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on page F-5 of the Form 20-F/A. 5. Please revise the tabular presentations in your Statements of Operation and Comprehensive Loss and your Statements of Cash Flows, as well as presentation elsewhere in your filing such as in the discussion of your results of operations beginning on page 65, so that your financial statements and other data presented in tabular form to read consistently from left to right in the same chronological order throughout the filing. We refer you to the guidance in SAB Topic 11:E. Response : In response to the Staff's comment, the Company has revised its disclosure throughout the Form 20-F/A. 2 Financial Statements Note 1. Organization and Principle Activities, page F-8 6. We note you disclosed "[o]n October 12, 2022, Alpha acquired 100 % of equity interest in NSL and TSL from the former shareholders." In light of this disclosure, please clarify and explain to us the meaning of your disclosure under Recent Developments on page F-8. In this regard, we note you said "[t]he subsidiaries of Alpha were under the control of different ultimate owners immediately following their acquisition by Alpha. Although, after the acquisition, NSL and TSL became whollyowned subsidiaries of Alpha, the two acquired companies did not operate under common control as their ultimate owners had been different." In addition, explain to us and disclose when you obtained control of the subsidiaries, how you obtained control, and why you began reporting the results of operations beginning on October 12, 2022 as the Successor results of operations. Response : In response to the Staff's comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on page F-8 of the Form 20-F/A. On October 10, 2022, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Mr. Leung Tsz Him and his spouse (the " Sellers "), pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell and the Company agreed to purchase 100% of the ownership interests in NSL and TSL for a consideration of HK$10 million. Completion took place on October 12, 2022. Given that NSL and TSL became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company upon completion, the Company began reporting the results of operations beginning on October 12, 2022 as the Successor results of operations. Thank you for your consideration in reviewing the above responses. If you have any questions or wish to discuss any aspect of the Form 20-F/A, please contact the undersigned at (852) 9049-8795.

Amendment No. 3 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
Submitted July 18, 2023
File No.
333-273289
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is in response to the letter dated
August 2, 2023, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
addressed to Alpha Technology Group Ltd. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For ease of reference,
we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. An Amended Registration Statement on Form F-1
(“Amended Registration Statement No. 3”) is being filed to accompany this letter.
Amendment No. 3 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
Dilution, page 76
1.
Please revise to include dilution as of March 31, 2023.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, please refer to the enhanced disclosure on pages 76-77 of Amended Registration Statement No. 4.
Corporate History and Structure, page 79
2.
Provide pro forma financial statements prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation of S-X to give effect to Alpha Technology Group Limited’s acquisition of Techlution and NSL.
Response: Please refer to the attached
pro forma financial statements as of September 30, 2023 after taking into account Alpha Technology Group Limited’s acquisition of Techlution
and NSL (see Attached Exhibit A).
3.
Please expand the discussion to detail the impact of the business combination on October 12, 2022 of NSL and Techlution on your results of operations in fiscal 2023 and separately discuss any material changes in operations prior to the business combination.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, the Company respectfully submits that except for the amortization of the intangible assets, there was no material impact of the
business combination on October 12, 2022 of NSL and Techlution on the Group’s results of operations in fiscal 2023. The Group only
recognized the intangible assets, deferred tax liability and goodwill upon the business combination and did not recognize other profit
or loss items. The Company respectfully confirms that there were no material changes in operations prior to the business combination. Please also refer to page 85 of Amended Registration Statement
No. 4.
4.
Refer to the disclosure of related party transactions on page F-44 in which HK$1.41 million of the HK$1.585 million of NFT revenue was to Fuchsia Capital Limited, a related party owned by your executive director. Revise the discussion of the increase in revenue from NFT projects to clarify that the revenues are related party revenues.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, please refer to the enhanced disclosure on pages 84 and 89 of Amended Registration Statement No. 4.
5.
Please expand the discussion of Listing expenses on page 90 to explain the nature of listing expenses expensed during the period as compared to the accrued listing expenses of HK$12.5 million disclosed on page 93 and deferred offering costs of HK$15.4 million on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2023.

Please expand your accounting policy for principals of combination in Note 2 on page F-28 accordingly.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, please refer to the enhanced disclosure on page F-28., F-29, F-45 and F-46 of Amended Registration Statement No. 4.

We note in your discussion of revenues on page 89 that you derived revenue from two NFT projects, creating an NFT marketplace for a customer and creating NFT artworks, developing an NFT minting site and preparing a proposal in relation to an NFT-related game for a customer primarily engaged in investment and fund management. Please expand your critical accounting policies for revenue on page 97 and your accounting policies in the March 31, 2023 financial statements on pages F-33 and F-34 to address these revenues or tell us how the existing revenue recognition accounting policies apply to these new revenue streams.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, please refer to the enhanced disclosure on page F-34 of Amended Registration Statement No. 4.
Business
NFT Marketplace, page 112
8.
Refer to prior comment 1, where we requested a more detailed description of the conversion process for in-game assets to crypto assets, including to cryptocurrencies or NFTs. Please further clarify how in-game assets are incorporated into smart contracts, including how game players understand the conversion of in-game assets to external crypto assets through the immediate execution of the smart contracts. Additionally, disclose specifically which crypto assets users can exchange their in-game assets into, and how the exchange or conversion rate to crypto assets is determined.
Response: We respectfully advise the Staff that the
conversion process for in-game assets to crypto assets is detailed below:
All smart contracts written for the NFT-related
games run on blockchain. The Ethereum blockchain provides users, including Techlution, with smart contract templates which are standardized
codes that define their operational parameters, scope and rules. The smart contracts can be described as a piece of phrasal template written
in codes. In other words, when a smart contract is secured on the Ethereum blockchain, some parts can be intentionally left blank to be
filled when it is executed.
2
For illustration purpose, a sample formula is
set out below:
If X is predetermined conditions, the smart
contract can be Y, or else invalid. In this gaming scenario described, X represents the in-game item that is in the game
player’s possession, whilst Y represents a minting process which is a standard line of coding developed by Ethereum that uses
in-game item to create the NFT. The predetermined conditions are the criteria and metrics that X needs to meet. These predetermined
conditions encompass information of an in-game item, such as its name, description, image and rank. If a player owns an in-game item
(X) that satisfies all the predetermined conditions, the smart contract will initiate the minting process (Y). Techlution is
responsible for gathering the information of the in-game items and creating a database thereof. The predetermined conditions are
determined and set out by the customer, and Techlution does not possess and cannot exercise any decision-making power. In the game,
the smart contract can be activated when (i) the player earns in-game coins; or (ii) the player opts to mint his/her rare in-game
items.
The following example illustrates how a smart
contract may use the above formula upon activation:
Name
Description
Image
Ranking
Classification
The in-game item in the player’s possession (X) is:
Xmas
A Christmas tree wrapped in a string of lights
Level 7
Rare
Predefined conditions:
Xmas; or
A Christmas tree wrapped in a string of lights; or
;
or
Level 5 or higher; or
Rare
Bunny; or
Easter-themed statue in a bunny shape; or
;
or
Level 3 or higher; or
Rare
Pink
Valentine-themed bird house with a hollow heart carved in the middle
Level 2 or higher
Rare
Does X match the predefined conditions?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes
A smart contract is programmed to be self-executed
when a set of predefined conditions are fulfilled. As the above example shows, once a game player is in virtual possession of an in-game
item that matches the definition of X (i.e. all predefined conditions are fulfilled), the smart contract executes the minting process
automatically and independently on the Ethereum blockchain — using the digital data of the in-game item to create an NFT.
Game players will not be notified of the details of the operation of the smart contracts but only the result of whether he/she has successfully
minted his/her in-game item.
Techlution confirms that it does not have ownership
or control of any cryptocurrencies or NFTs created in relation to the NFT games. Upon delivery to customers, the smart contracts governing
the ownership of cryptocurrencies or NFTs are deployed and secured on the blockchain, meaning that the smart contracts cannot be altered,
modified or tampered thus ensuring the integrity of the game. Modifying the terms of the smart contract requires the creation of a new
contract that supersedes the former version, with all changes being recorded and visible to the public. Since Techlution cannot modify
the embedded smart contracts without leaving traceable evidence, we believe it is not necessary to impose any restrictions on accessing
NFTs created in relation to the games once they are delivered to customers.
3
We respectfully advise the Staff that the
game players are aware that in-game coins can only be converted to cryptocurrency and in-game items can only be converted into NFTs.
The game players are not granted the option to convert in-game assets into any other kind of crypto assets or cryptocurrencies.
We also respectfully advise the Staff that
Techlution does not have any involvement in the decision-making process regarding the exchange rate for in-game coins to
cryptocurrency or which in-game items can be minted into NFTs. Techlution solely executes the requests of its customers and does not
determine the mechanisms of the game, such as what cryptocurrency should be created, the exchange rate, number of NFTs etc.
Techlution would consult its customers on determining how the game should be played and then designs the smart contract in
accordance with its customers’ instructions. Techlution only serves as a backend game developer and its work is limited to the
technological aspects of game creation by showcasing its customer’s requests in a digital format. The customer’s role,
on the other hand, retains all ultimate-decision making authority, including but not limited to, choosing the aesthetic, gaming
mechanism, exchange policieson in-game rewards, features, monetizing strategy and the design layout
of the game as well as the type of cryptocurrency linked to the smart contracts. Techlution completes its game development services by launching the game once it passes the user acceptance test, and
the customer assumes full responsibility for hosting, managing and operating the game thereafter. It is important to note that the
ownership of the game (including completed source code prepared by Techlution in provision of its services) belongs solely to the
customer and the customer retains absolute control over the game.
Since the game is still in development, Techlution
has yet to perform any maintenance services for the game. Nevertheless, if the customer makes substantial changes to the game (including
its source code) after the launch, Techlution will only address verbal enquiries in relation to any issues arising from its original source
code and will cease to perform any maintenance services for the game beyond that point.
In response to the Staff’s comment, please
refer to the enhanced disclosure on pages 114 and 115 of Amended Registration Statement No. 4.
9.
We note your response to prior comment 2. Please disclose what cryptocurrencies are available on the marketplace. In that regard, we note your disclosure that “[e]ach time a player earns an in-game coin, the smart contract is automatically put into execution and exchanges the in-game coin with cryptocurrency in accordance with the predetermined exchange rate.” In addition, clarify whether these transactions will occur on the platform created by Techlution and which cryptocurrencies will be available on the platform.
Response:
We respectfully advise the Staff that the NFT
marketplace and NFT-related game are not related in any form and context, and the owners of which are not related, associated or connected
with one another.
As of the NFT marketplace’s launch in October,
2022, the marketplace only supports one type of cryptocurrency, Ether, and does not support the trading or exchange of other crypto assets
or cryptocurrencies. Since the launch of NFT marketplace, Techlution has not participated in and is not responsible for any subsequent
changes made to the platform including, but not limited to, the inclusion of a pricing subscription page, connecting the platform to Qonbay
wallet instead of meta mask wallet, etc. All subsequent changes are performed by Retail Full Technology Company Limited, the customer
we created the platform for, and are not within the control of Techlution.
The
cryptocurrency referred in the disclosure of NFT-related game, as previously disclosed in the Amended Registration Statement No. 3
and as quoted in this comment, is the customer’s self-created cryptocurrency based on Ethereum blockchain
— LDD tokens. The game only supports such cryptocurrency and does not support the trading or exchange of other crypto assets
or cryptocurrencies. As of the date of this response letter, the NFT-related game is still under development and has not yet been
publicly launched. While respecting the confidentiality obligations under the service agreement and to provide comprehensive
information to prospective investors in respect of the detail of the game, the Company has provided a generic description of the
type of cryptocurrency involved in the NFT-related game on page 114 of Amended Registration Statement No. 4.
We respectfully advise the Staff that Techlution
does not determine the types of cryptocurrencies involved nor the exchange rate of any crypto related matters. For more details, please
refer to our revised disclosure on page 114 of Amended Registration Statement No. 4.
As mentioned above in our response to comment 8 of this response letter,
the smart contract, which dictates the exchanging mechanisms of in-game coins to LDD tokens and in-game items to NFTs, is executed on
the Ethereum blockchain and, therefore, the exchanging mechanism does not exist within the game.
We respectfully advise the Staff that as of the
date of this response letter, the Company is yet to be able to obtain the consent from both Retail Full Technology Company Limited and
AcroGrowth Consulting Limited for public disclosure of their respective identity in the prospectus. Accordingly, the Company has provided
generic description of the said customers on page 117 of Amended Registration Statement No. 4. to enable prospective investors to better
understand the Company’s business and involvements in its provision of NFT-related services.
In response to the Staff’s comment, please
refer to the enhanced disclosure on pages 114 and 115 of Amended Registration Statement No. 4.

10.
Please clarify who owns and operates the NFT marketplace. For comparison, we note the disclosure regarding the development of a NFT minting site that once it “passes the user acceptance test, its ownership and management will be transferred to the customer.”

Re:

Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
Submitted June 9, 2023
CIK No. 0001967621
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is in response to the letter dated
June 28, 2023, from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
addressed to Alpha Technology Group Ltd. (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For ease of reference,
we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. An Amended Registration Statement on Form F-1
(“Amended Registration Statement No. 3”) is being filed to accompany this letter.
Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
NFT-related services, page 105
1. Please
revise to provide a more detailed description of the conversion process for in-game assets to crypto assets, including to cryptocurrencies
or NFTs. Explain how rewards in the game are earned through either monetary and non-monetary efforts of players, how ingame assets are
incorporated into smart contracts, which crypto assets users can exchange their in-game assets into, and how the exchange or conversion
rate to crypto assets is determined. In addition, explain with greater specificity how the convertible in-game assets will be incorporated
into your product and service offerings and your role in the creation, distribution, and transferability of the in-game rewards to crypto
assets.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, please refer to the enhanced disclosure on page 113 and 114 of Amended Registration Statement No. 3.
NFT Marketplace, page 106
2. We
note that you appear to be involved with a marketplace where players and users can place their in-game NFTs to sell or to trade for other
crypto assets. Please clarify what other crypto assets may be traded on the marketplace. In addition, provide us with your legal analysis
that the NFTs or other crypto assets monetized on your marketplace are not securities within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities
laws and, therefore, you are not facilitating, or causing you to engage in, transactions in unregistered securities. Finally, discuss
how the marketplace operates and your role in it, including whether the company provides ongoing maintenance or creation services to
the NFT marketplace.
Response: We respectfully advise the Staff
that we have revised our disclosure on page 112 and 113 of Amended Registration Statement No. 3.
We respectfully advise the Staff that we have
no ownership or control over the marketplace, nor do we operate the marketplace on behalf of our customer. The marketplace we provided
development services for is solely operated by a third-party customer (the “Customer”).
In addition, we believe we are neither facilitating
nor engaging in any unregistered securities transactions by providing such development services to the Customer. As a service provider,
Techlution’s role besides developing the platform is limited to providing technical support and basic maintenance services for the
marketplace, such as monitoring and troubleshooting the platform’s functionality, and addressing any technical issues that may arise.
Techlution does not participate in the buying, selling, or creating of NFTs on the platform.
In making this determination, the Company has
considered the nature and structure of the digital assets that will be made available on the Customer’s platform, as well as a number
of other factors, including the provisions of U.S. federal securities laws, judicial precedents (such as the U.S. Supreme Court’s
decisions in the SEC v. W.J. Howey Co., 328 U.S. 293 (1946), as well as the Federal District Court’s decision in the Gary
Plastic Packaging Corp. v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith, 756 F.2d 230 (2d Cir. 1985) case), the SEC’s Framework
for Investment Contract Analysis of Digital Assets published by the Commission’s Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology,
and reports, orders, press releases, public statements and speeches by the SEC and its staff providing guidance on when a digital asset
may be a security for purposes of the federal securities laws.
According to the Supreme Court in SEC v. W.J.
Howey Co. (“Howey”), NFTs may constitute securities under Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 if
they are determined to be “investment contracts.” See also Gary Plastic Packaging Corp. v. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith, Inc. According to the Supreme Court in Howey, an “investment contract” exists where all of the following
factors are satisfied: (1) the investment of money; (2) in a common enterprise; (3) with a reasonable expectation of profits
to be derived from the efforts of others. As more fully discussed below, we believe that the NFTs offered and sold through our customer’s
NFT marketplace are highly unlikely to satisfy all the factors of the Howey test and do not have the characteristics that meets
the definition of “security” under Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933:
(1) The investment of money.
Based on our understanding, the marketplace users
are able to purchase NFTs with credit card or cryptocurrencies. Therefore, the first factor of the Howey test is satisfied.
(2) In a common enterprise.
Each NFT on the Customer’s marketplace represents
a right for a single individual to own rights to a unique instance of a digital asset. Because there is a single owner of a unique instance
of an item, there is neither commonality of interest between various NFT owners nor the NFT owners and the issuer. Additionally, the value
of each NFT is highly likely to be unique and independent, which is not tied to the performance of the marketplace or the efforts of any
promoter. Therefore, purchasers of the NFTs on that marketplace are not in a “common enterprise.”
(3) With a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the
efforts of others.
This third prong of the Howey test is not
satisfied because as of the date of this response letter and based on our current understanding of the Customer’s platform, (i)
we are not aware of any promise or implication of any future profits made by that marketplace to its buyers; (ii) neither the marketplace
nor the Customer, have established, promoted or supported any secondary market for the NFTs sold on the marketplace, and (iii) the marketplace
users are not entitled to share in any corporate income or profits of the marketplace or its owner through purchasing NFTs on that marketplace.
Therefore, we believe the value of NFTs monetized on the Customer’s platform is basically based on market demand and the subjective
value that individual buyers place on them. Since the financial value of the NFTs that are on the NFT marketplace is determined by the
market supply and demand for the underlying content represented by the NFTs similar to other commodities, no “profits from the efforts
of others” can be reasonably expected by the users.
2
Therefore, the NFTs and other crypto assets offered
and sold through the NFT marketplace of the Customer do not satisfy all the factors of the Howey test, and are not securities under
Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933.
We believe that Techlution’s development
and maintenance services to the Customer do not result in the Company’s facilitating, or engaging in, transactions in unregistered
securities.

and service responsibilities. Also provide a detailed discussion regarding how your ongoing maintenance services operate. For example,
tell us whether you continually monitor the game for maintenance issues, or if the customer requests your services through a need-based
