CIK No. 0002041829
Dear Yee Kar Wing:
We have reviewed your amended draft registration statement and have the following
comments.
Please respond to this letter by providing the requested information and either
submitting an amended draft registration statement or publicly filing your registration
statement on EDGAR. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing the information you provide in response to this letter and your
amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may have additional
comments. Unless we note otherwise, any references to prior comments are to comments in
our January 28, 2025 letter.

As previously requested in prior comment 3, in your response, please describe in
reasonable detail the nature of each of the promises and the intended benefit to the
customer for each of your contracts with multiple promises. That is, explain the
functionality of the IT solutions that you provide to your customers in each type of
contract scenario. When hardware is sold with IT professional services, describe why 1.
February 19, 2025
Page 2
the hardware system is not functional without the accompanying installation and
integration. When software and IT application products are sold with IT professional
services, describe why the customer cannot deploy or use the software effectively
without IT professional services. When hardware, software and IT application
products are sold with IT professional services, describe why the IT system is not
functional unless all the components are integrated. Explain the difference between
these types of contracts and contracts for hardware or software with immediate
functionality. As part of your response, also tell us how the contract scenarios
identified correlate to the services and solutions described in your Business section
starting on page 73.
2.You indicate in response to prior comment 4 that, in many cases, the customer’s
primary objective is to obtain a fully customized and integrated IT solution, consistent
with your disclosures that you deliver a fully integrated IT solution and the customer
expects a turnkey solution. In this regard, it appears the deliverable to the customer is
a product. Please provide further evidence for why certain contracts with multiple
promises are not categorized as revenue from products. Alternatively, consider
presenting revenue from contracts with multiple promises that include non-distinct
products and services as a separate line item.
(n) Cost of revenues, page F-19
3.We note the significant reclassification of costs from cost of products to cost of
services in each of periods presented, in addition to the reclassification of product
revenue to service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Tell us what
consideration you gave to labeling your statement of operations and related
disclosures throughout your filing as restated and providing disclosures required by
ASC 250-10-50-7. In addition, tell us what consideration your auditors gave to
including an explanatory paragraph regarding the correction and dual dating their
opinion. Refer to paragraph 16 of PCAOB Auditing Standard (“AS”) 2820 and
paragraph 18(e) of AS 3101.
4.You indicate in response to prior comment 5 that your revised classification of the
types of cost of revenue reflects your methodology of allocating costs to performance
obligations in proportion to the revenues recognized. Please elaborate on your
allocation methodology and indicate which types of costs are being allocated. While
we understand that certain costs may need to be allocated, tell us how your
classification takes into consideration the direct costs of your contracts. In this regard,
please clarify whether cost directly related to the contract are being presented as the
cost of sales in satisfaction of that single performance obligation.
Please clarify how costs of revenue are recognized. In this regard, your disclosure
appears to indicate that costs are matched with the associated performance obligation
by allocating costs to performance obligations in proportion to revenues recognized.
We also note from your response to prior comment 4 that hardware and software costs
are front-loaded. Tell us what consideration you gave to capitalizing costs in
accordance with ASC 340-40-25-6 and recognizing costs as expenses in accordance
with ASC 340-40-25-8. Also, refer to ASC 340-40-55-7 through 55-9. Consider
clarifying your disclosure to address when you recognize cost of revenue separately 5.

identifiable within the context of the contract. In your response, describe in reasonable
detail the nature of each of the promises and the intended benefit to the customer from
each type of contracts. For each contract scenario, tell us in your response how you
concluded that each of the promises is significantly affected by the other. Ensure that
you explain in your analysis how the customer’s utility of the hardware, of the
software, and of the IT application license each depend on the IT professional
services. Also explain in your response what factors you considered in determining
that the IT professional services are an input to the combined output and not distinct
from the other promises.
4.We note your response to prior comment 8 and the related revised disclosures. One of
the factors you indicate that you consider in categorizing revenue is the relative effort.
Please explain in your response what consideration you gave to the nature of your cost
of revenues in determining the predominant characteristic. In this regard, we note that
you have incurred relatively less service costs but have attributed a significant
majority of your contracts with multiple promises to services.

5.We note your response to prior comment 9 and disclosures indicating that you classify
cost of revenues by nature. Please revise to categorize cost of revenues applicable to
the corresponding category of revenue. Costs and expenses should be combined in the
same manner as revenue. In this regard, we note your disclosure that you allocate
costs to performance obligations in proportion to the revenues recognized. Refer to
Rule 5-03(b) of Regulation S-X.

that you exclude Hong Kong and Macau from your definition of "PRC" or "China" for
reference to specific laws and regulations adopted by the PRC. Please revise to
remove the exclusion of Hong Kong and Macau from such definition. Clarify that all

orders with the word "primarily", please describe the other types of agreements you
have with these customers.
4.We note your response to prior comment 12 and the revisions made on page 12, and
we re-issue this comment. While we note your response, we view the identities of
these suppliers to be material information. Accordingly, please revise here or in your
business section to identify these three suppliers. We also note your response that your
transactions with these suppliers are "primarily based on purchase orders" and that
there was "no formal long-term or framework agreement between the Company and
such suppliers." Please revise to disclose the material terms of your purchase orders
with each of these suppliers. Additionally, please tell us the number of purchase
orders the company entered into with each of these suppliers during this period, and
whether any individual purchase order accounted for 10% or more of your cost of
revenue for the period. Lastly, as we note you qualify your reference to purchase
orders with the word "primarily", please describe the other types of agreements you
have with these suppliers.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(m) Revenue recognition, page F-12
We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 17 to clarify how the
distinctness of performance obligations is evaluated in contracts with customers.
Please further explain to us in reasonable detail how you determined that your
promises are highly interdependent and interrelated. Refer to the examples in ASC 5.
December 23, 2024
Page 3
606-10-55-136 through 55-150K and the basis for conclusion in BC32 and BC33 of
ASU 2016-10.
6.We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 17. You state that
contracts with customers often contain multiple performance obligations and that you
evaluate each promised good or service in a contract to determine whether it is
distinct. For each of the Contract Scenarios described in your revised disclosure, we
note that the promises in the contracts are considered a single performance obligation.
Please revise your disclosures to clarify that you have contracts that contain multiple
promises to deliver goods or services, rather than referring to your contracts as having
multiple performance obligations.
7.We note your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 18. Please provide us
with a more comprehensive accounting analysis as to why IT professional services do
not meet the criteria in ASC 606-10-25-27(c). Explain why your performance does
not create an asset with an alternative use, considering your services are tailored to
customer needs. In addition, explain why you do not believe you have an enforceable
right to payment for performance completed to date, considering your typical
engagement letters permit clients to terminate the engagement without penalty at any
time, as noted from your disclosure on page 20, and considering your typical payment
terms described on page 75.
8.We note your revised disclosure of the breakdown of revenue among products and
services in response to prior comment 20. Please further explain how you determined
the categorization of each item. We note your disclosure that you cannot allocate
revenue to individual components such as hardware, software, or services, so revenue
is categorized based on the predominant characteristic of the combined deliverable.
Please explain how you determined that services were the predominant characteristic
for each of the contract scenarios under Revenue from Services.
(n) Cost of revenues, page F-18
9.Please explain to us how you allocate cost of revenue among products and services
and how it correlates to the allocation of revenue to products and services. Describe
the nature of the costs included in each category and why the margins on revenue
from services contracts are so much higher than the margins on revenue from products
contracts.

Hong Kong except for those listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and that the basic
policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong provide Hong Kong with a high degree of
autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that
of final adjudication under the principle of “one country, two systems." Where
appropriate, you may describe PRC law and then explain how law in Hong Kong and
Macau differs from PRC law and describe any risks and consequences to the company
associated with those laws.
