Amendment No. 6 to Registration
Statement on Form F-1
Filed June 3, 2024
File No. 333-275956
Dear
Ms. Rivera:
We
represent Energys Group Limited (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) as U.S. counsel. We are filing herewith Amendment
7 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 relating to a proposed initial public offering in the United States of the
Company’s Ordinary Shares.
The
purpose of this letter is to respond to the comment letter dated June 14, 2024 from the Division of Corporation Finance, Office of Real
Estate and Construction (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”)
relating to Amendment 6 of the Company’s Registration Statement. For your convenience, the comments have been reproduced below,
followed by the Company’s response.
Amendment
No. 6 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed June 3, 2024
Exhibits
1. We
note your revised legal opinion filed as Exhibit 5.1 to reflect the increased primary offering
size. Please revise the legal opinion to cover the overallotment. In addition, please revise
the fee table in Exhibit 107 to reflect the overallotment.
Response:
In
response to this comment, a Second Revised Opinion of Harney Westwood & Riegels regarding the validity of securities being registered
is being filed as Exhibit 5.1 to Amendment 7 to the Registration Statement and a Third Revised Filing Fee Table is being filed as Exhibit
107 to Amendment 7, both having been revised to include the shares subject to the over-allotment option.
Alternate
Pages for Resale Prospectus

Selling Shareholders, page Alt-2
2. Please
clearly disclose whether Ms. Fung Ming Pang has any relationship with the company and its
affiliates.
Response:
In
response to this comment, footnote (4) to the Selling Shareholders table on page Alt-2 has been revised to include that, other than as
a beneficial 5% shareholder, Ms. Pang is unrelated to the Company and its affiliates.

3. Please
reconcile the statement in your response letter dated May 10, 2024 that “(e)ach Selling
Shareholder purchased his or her shares directly from a prior shareholder of the Registrant
in a private transaction and the Registrant had no involvement in any of the sales”
with the additional statement in the same response letter that “pursuant to a corporate
reorganization in February 2023, Sky Shadow, Mr. Cox, Mr. Adams, Mr. Lee and Mr. To, collectively,
transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of EGHL to the Company in exchange
for the issuance by the Company of 10,680,000 Ordinary Shares to Moonglade, 600,000 Ordinary
Shares to Mr. Lee and 720,000 Ordinary Shares to Mr. To.”
Response:
The
Selling Shareholders - Jumbo Tiger Global Limited (“Jumbo”), Talent Linkage Limited (“Talent”) and Bright Forever
Investments Limited (“Bright”) - are the holders of record of the resale shares. Jumbo, Talent and Bright each acquired their
shares from their sole shareholders, Mr. Ka Lok To, Mr. Siu Chung Lee and Majestic Dragon Investment Co., Ltd. (which is wholly owned
by Ms. Fung Ming Pang), respectively.
Messrs.
To and Lee each acquired their shares in exchange for their shares of Energys Group Holding Limited (“EGHL”) as part of the
corporate reorganization that took place in February 2023. (Incidentally, Messrs. To and Lee had acquired their EGHL shares from Sky
Shadow Limited, which is wholly-owned by Mr. Michael Lau, in settlement of outstanding personal loans owed to them by Mr. Lau.) Accordingly,
there is no inconsistency between the two statements quoted in the comment because the statements pertain to the record owners of the
shares in question.

of record by it to Mr. Ka Lok To in settlement of outstanding personal loans made by them to Mr. Lau.

The
fact that Messrs. To and Lee originally acquired the shares now owned of record by Jumbo and Talent, respectively, pursuant to the 2023
corporate reorganization does not contradict the fact that Jumbo and Talent acquired the shares from Mr. To and Mr. Lee. After the reorganization,
all of the recipients of Company shares were free to retain or dispose of the shares as they desired and to whomever they desired, with
no input or control by the Company.
We
do not dispute that Messrs. To and Lee, as the sole shareholders of Jumbo and Talent, respectively, remain the beneficial owners of the
shares. If our reply to comment #1 in our response letter of May 10, 2024 were revised to also discuss the beneficial ownership of the
shares, it would indicate that Messrs. To and Lee, the sole shareholders of Jumbo and Talent, respectively, are the beneficial owners
of the shares and that they acquired their shares of the Company as part of a corporate reorganization in February 2023. In addition,
the discussion under “Factor 1. How Long the Shares Have Been Held” would include the statement that Messrs. To and Lee,
the beneficial owners of the resale shares held of record by their wholly-owned entities, acquired the shares in February 2023.

4. We
note your disclosure that your selling shareholders may sell their ordinary shares using
any method permitted by applicable law. Please confirm your understanding that the retention
by a selling shareholder of an underwriter would constitute a material change to your plan
of distribution requiring a post-effective amendment. In addition, please revise to include
the undertakings under Item 512 of Regulation S-K or tell us why it is not appropriate for
you to do so. Refer to Item 9 of Form F-1.
Response:
Each
of the Selling Shareholders has represented to the Company that they have no intention to retain the services of an underwriter with
respect to the offer and sale of their shares. However, if, in the future, any Selling Shareholder decides to retain an underwriter,
we understand that such retention would constitute a material change to the plan of distribution requiring the Company to file a post-effective
amendment to the Registration Statement.
In
response to the second part of this comment, we have revised Item 9 of the Registration Statement to include all relevant undertakings
under Item 512 of Regulation S-K.
If
you have any questions relating to the Registration Statement, please contact Kevin Cox, the Registrant’s Chief Executive Officer,
at his email address of kevin.cox@energysgroup.com, or Michael Lau, the Registrant’s Chief Technical Officer, at his email
address of michael.lau@energysgroup.com.

Estate and Construction (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”)
relating to Amendment 5 of the Company’s Registration Statement. For your convenience, the comments have been reproduced below,

Amendment
No. 5 to Form F-1 filed May 10, 2024
General
1.
We
note your response to prior comment 1. First, please tell us when the shares previously held by Majestic Dragon Investment Co., Limited
were contributed to Bright Forever Investments Limited and the consideration paid. Second, we note that at least one of the selling
shareholders obtained their shares from the company’s controlling shareholder, Moonglade Investment Limited, instead of directly
from the company. Please tell us how Majestic Dragon and Bright Forever, as applicable, came to learn of the controlling shareholder’s
desire to transfer, sell, or dispose of the shares, and how Moonglade decided when to make those sales.
Response:
In
response to this comment, the Registrant supplementally informs the Staff as follows:
The
Ordinary Shares previously held by Majestic Dragon Investment Co., Limited were contributed to Bright Forever Investments Limited on
April 24, 2024 and the Preferred Shares were contributed to Bright Forever Investments Limited on April 26, 2024. The consideration
paid for the Ordinary Shares was US$1.00; the same amount was paid for the Preferred Shares. Please note that Majestic Dragon Investment
Co., Limited and Bright Forever Investments Limited are under common ownership and that, therefore, the transfer was merely a change
in record ownership, but not in beneficial ownership.
Moonglade
Investment Limited decided to sell some of its shares after it was removed as a selling shareholder. Being acquainted with the principals
of the Reselling Shareholders, Mr. Michael Lau approached them, on behalf of Moonglade, and offered to sell them some of Moonglade’s
shares. Mr. Lau agreed to register the shares for resale in conjunction with the Company’s IPO. The purchasers of the shares from
Moonglade are not affiliated with Moonglade, Moonglade’s shareholders, officers, or directors or with the Company. The purchasing
shareholders act for and on their own behalf.

Amendment

Filed

File
No. 333-275956
Dear
Ms. Rivera:
We
represent Energys Group Limited (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) as U.S. counsel. We are filing herewith Amendment
5 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 relating to a proposed initial public offering in the United States of the
Company’s Ordinary Shares.
The
purpose of this letter is to respond to the comment letter dated March 26, 2024 from the Division of Corporation Finance, Office of Real
Estate and Construction (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or “SEC”)
relating to Amendment 4 of the Company’s Registration Statement. For your convenience, the comments have been reproduced below,
followed by the Company’s response.
Amendment
No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed March 22, 2024
Cover
Page
1.
Given
the substantial portion of your shares being registered for resale and the short period those shares have been held since being initially
sold by your controlling shareholder, Moonglade, to Majestic Dragon Investment Co. Limited on February 1, 2024 and transferred to
Mssrs. To and Lee, please provide us with an analysis of your basis for determining that it is appropriate to characterize the resale
offering as a secondary offering under Securities Act Rule 415(a)(1)(i), as opposed to an indirect primary offering. For guidance,
refer to Securities Act Rules Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.
Response:
In
response to this comment, the Registrant respectfully submits that the proposed resale of the Registrant’s Ordinary Shares by the
selling shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders”) as contemplated in the Registration Statement is not an indirect
primary offering and is appropriately characterized as a secondary offering under Rule 415(a)(1)(i) promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
In
an effort to assist registrants in determining whether an offering by selling stockholders may be characterized as a secondary offering
that is eligible to be made on a shelf basis under Rule 415(a)(1)(i), the Staff issued Interpretation 612.09 in its Securities Act Compliance
and Disclosure Interpretations (“C&DI; 612.09”). C&DI; 612.09 provides that “[t]he question of whether an offering
styled a secondary one is really on behalf of the issuer is a difficult factual one, not merely a question of who receives proceeds”
and that consideration be given to the following factors:
●
how
long the selling stockholders have held the shares;
●
the
circumstances under which the selling stockholders have received the shares;
●
the
relationship of the selling stockholders to the issuer;
●
the
number of shares being sold;
●
whether
the selling stockholders are in the business of underwriting securities; and
●
whether
under all the circumstances it appears that the seller is acting as a conduit for the issuer.
For
the reasons set forth below, the Registrant respectfully submits that the registration and offering from time to time (the “Offering”)
of up to 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Registrant is not, and should not be considered, a primary offering of the shares to the public.
Background
The
founders of the Group (defined as the Registrant and its subsidiaries) are Messrs. Michael Lau, Kevin Cox and Steven Paul Adams. Initially,
Messrs. Lau (through Sky Shadow Limited, which was, and is, 100% owned by him), Cox and Adams owned 100% of Energys Group Holdings Limited
(“EGHL”) and those three individuals also owned 100% of Moonglade Investment Limited. On January 31, 2023, Mr. Lau settled
certain debts owed by him to Mr. Siu Chung Lee and Mr. Ka Lok To by transferring five shares of EGHL owned by Sky Shadow to Mr. Siu Chung
Lee and six shares of EGHL owned by Sky Shadow to Mr. Ka Lok To. Pursuant to a corporate reorganization in February 2023, Sky Shadow,
Mr. Cox, Mr. Adams, Mr. Lee and Mr. To, collectively, transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of EGHL to the Company in
exchange for the issuance by the Company of 10,680,000 Ordinary Shares to Moonglade, 600,000 Ordinary Shares to Mr. Lee and 720,000 Ordinary
Shares to Mr. To.
On
January 31, 2024, Moonglade sold 350,000 Ordinary Shares owned by it to Vibrant Sound Limited and on February 1, 2024, Moonglade sold
680,000 Ordinary Shares owned by it to Majestic Dragon Investment Co. Limited (“Majestic Dragon”). These two sales reduced
Moonglade’s ownership to 9,650,000 Ordinary Shares, or 80.4%, of our outstanding shares. In addition, on January 30, 2024, Mr.
To sold 30,000 Ordinary Shares owned by him to Mr. Lee, reducing Mr. To’s ownership to 690,000 Ordinary Shares and increasing Mr.
Lee’s ownership to 630,000 Ordinary Shares. All of the above sales were paid in full in cash. Subsequently, Mr. To contributed
all of the Ordinary Shares owned by him to Jumbo Tiger Global Limited (“Jumbo Tiger”), which is wholly-owned by Mr. To, Mr.
Lee contributed all of the Ordinary Shares owned by him to Talent Linkage Limited (“Talent Linkage”), which is wholly-owned
by Mr. Lee, and Majestic Dragon Investment Co., Limited contributed all of the Ordinary Shares owned by it to Bright Forever Investments
Limited, a British Virgin Islands company under common ownership with it.
Factor
1. How Long the Shares Have been Held
The
Registrant does not believe that the period of ownership alone warrants re-characterizing a valid secondary offering as a primary offering.
Pursuant to Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation 612.09, the length of time that the shares have been held is only one of several
factors to be considered in evaluating whether, under all the circumstances, a purported secondary offering is instead an indirect primary
offering.
The
Registrant believes that a recent purchaser can effect a valid secondary offering of the Company’s shares unless other facts, beyond
the mere length of ownership, indicate that the Selling Shareholder is acting as a conduit of the issuer. In addition, the Selling Shareholders’
shares are being registered on a Form S-1, the form for general registrations, not a Form S-3. We note that the SEC has traditionally
permitted the registration of shares for resale in so called PIPE transactions.
Factor
2. Circumstances under which the selling stockholders received the shares
Each
Selling Shareholder purchased his or her shares directly from a prior shareholder of the Registrant in a private transaction and the
Registrant had no involvement in any of the sales. The prices paid for the shares were negotiated between the Selling Shareholders and
the sellers of the shares. At the time of the purchases, the Registrant was in the process of registering the shares for resale, which
fact may have affected the purchase price of the shares, but the Registrant has no knowledge, or reason to believe, that any of the Selling
Shareholders purchased his or her shares for other than investment purposes.
In
addition, none of the Selling Shareholders has entered into any underwriting relationship or arrangement with the Registrant or received
any commission or other payment from the Registrant in connection with the resale of any of its securities and the Company will receive
no proceeds from the resale of the shares, if any, by the Selling Shareholders. These circumstances are quite distinct from those involving
a primary offering by or on behalf of the Registrant.
Rule
100 of Regulation M defines a “distribution” as “an offering of securities, whether or not subject to registration
under the Securities Act, that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions by the magnitude of the offering and the presence
of special selling efforts and selling methods.” The aggregate number of shares being registered on behalf of the Selling Shareholders
constitutes only 16.67% of the currently issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Registrant and will constitute only 14.29% of
the issued and outstanding shares after the initial public offering if none of the over-allotment option is exercised. (See Factor 4,
below) Furthermore, the Company is not aware of any evidence that would suggest that any special selling efforts or selling methods (such
as investor presentations or road shows) by or on behalf of any of the Selling Shareholders have or are intended to take place if the
Registration Statement is declared effective.
Factor
3. The relationship of the selling stockholders to the issuer
None
of the Selling Shareholders has any relationship to the Registrant or to any of the Registrant’s officers or directors. Each Selling
Shareholder purchased his or her shares directly from a prior shareholder of the Registrant in a private transaction and the Registrant
had no involvement in any of the sales.
Furthermore,
the Registrant does not have an underwriting relationship with any of the Selling Shareholders or any contractual, legal or other relationship
that would control the timing, nature or amount of resales of the shares following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or
even whether any shares are resold at all under the Registration Statement. To the Registrant’s knowledge, at no time have any
of the Selling Shareholders been affiliated with or acted as securities broker-dealers or representatives thereof. Further, as noted
above, the Selling Shareholders represented that they were acquiring the securities for their own accounts and not with a view to resale
or distribution.
To
the extent that any of the Selling Shareholders sells his or her shares, the Selling Shareholder will retain all proceeds from such sale(s)
and the Company will not receive any of the proceeds from any resale of the shares. Furthermore, none of the Selling Shareholders acquired
the shares under circumstances that would indicate that it was receiving compensation from the Company in connection with the resale
of the shares or that the Company had any financial interest in the resale of the shares.
Factor
4. Number of shares being sold
The
Registrant currently has 12,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, 2,000,000, or 16.67%, of which are being registered for resale
by the Selling Shareholders. After the Registrant’s planned initial public offering, it will have 14,000,000 Ordinary Shares issued
and outstanding if the underwriters do not exercise any of their over-allotment option and will have 14,300,000 Ordinary Shares issued
and outstanding if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full. Accordingly, the Selling Shareholders’ shares will
constitute only 14.29% of the issued and outstanding shares after the initial public offering if none of the over-allotment option is
exercised and 13.99% if it is exercised in full.
The
Registrant respectfully submits that these percentages are not evidence that the resale offering should be reclassified as an indirect
primary offering.
Factor
5. Whether the selling stockholders are in the business of underwriting securities
To
the Company’s knowledge, none of the Selling Shareholders is, or ever has been, in the business of underwriting securities. Additionally,
the transfers of the Ordinary Shares covered by the Registration Statement were neither conditioned on the expected effectiveness of
the Registration Statement nor otherwise conditioned on the Selling Shareholders’ ability to resell the shares. Indeed, pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreements signed by the Selling Shareholders, each of the Selling Shareholders represented and warranted
that he or she was acquiring the securities for the purpose of investment and not with a view towards the sale or distribution thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act. There is no evidence to suggest that any of those representations were false.
Factor
6. Whether under all the circumstances it appears that the seller is acting as a conduit for the issuer
The
totality of the facts and circumstances surrounding the Offering demonstrates that the Selling Shareholders are not acting as a conduit
in a distribution to the public. Rather, they are each acting for their own account as an investor in arms-length transactions. The Company
believes that the following factors weigh in favor of the conclusion that the Offering is a valid secondary offering:
●
The
Selling Shareholders acquired their shares in bona fide private transactions at purchase prices established through negotiation with
the Sellers of the shares. The Registrant had no involvement in the transactions.
●
None
of the Selling Shareholders has any relationship to the Registrant or to any of the Registrant’s officers or directors.
●
To
the extent that any of the Selling Shareholders sells his or her shares, the Selling Shareholder will retain all proceeds from such
sale(s) and the Company will not receive any of the proceeds from any resale of the shares.
●
The
number of shares being registered on behalf of the Selling Shareholders constitutes a small portion of the Ordinary Shares currently
outstanding and an even smaller portion of the Ordinary Shares to be outstanding after the initial public offering.
●
To
the Registrant’s knowledge, none of the Selling Shareholders is in the business of underwriting securities and there is no
evidence of special selling efforts or selling methods that would suggest a view to “distribution.”
Conclusion
Based
on the foregoing analysis, the Registrant believes that the registration of the Selling Shareholders’ shares for resale in the
Registration Statement is properly styled as a secondary offering eligible for registration pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i) and not an
indirect primary offering.
2.
It
appears that the resale offering will occur concurrently with your initial public offering. Please revise your disclosure throughout
your registration statement to clarify when, in relation to the primary firm commitment offering, the selling shareholders are offering
their shares, and at what price.
Response:
In
response to this comment, the Registrant has added the following disclosure, or a modified version thereof, as appropriate, to the cover
page and to pages 24 and 120 of the Prospectus and to the cover page of the Resale Prospectus:
“The
Selling Shareholders may offer Resale Shares for sale concurrently with this offering or at any time, or from time to time, thereafter.
Any sales of Resale Shares by the Selling Shareholders until our Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted on an established public trading
market will take place at a price per share that is equal to the initial public offering price of the Ordinary Shares we are selling
in our initial public offering. Thereafter, any sales will occur at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices.”

In
response to this comment, the Registrant has expanded the disclosure in the “USE OF PROCEEDS” section of the Prospectus to
include the dollar amounts intended to be used for each purpose enumerated therein.

No. 333-275956
Dear
Ms. Rivera:
We
represent Energys Group Ltd. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) as U.S. counsel. We are filing herewith the
Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 relating to a proposed initial public offering in the United States of the Company’s
Ordinary Shares.
The
purpose of this letter is to respond to the comment letter dated February 20, 2024 from the Division of Corporation Finance, Office of
Real Estate and Construction (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” or
“SEC”) relating to Amendment 1 of the Company’s Registration Statement. For your convenience, the comments have been
reproduced below, followed by the Company’s response.
Amendment
No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed February 6, 2024
Cover
Page
1. We
note the disclosure that your offering of common shares will be at an “assumed”
public offering price. Please tell us whether you plan to amend prior to effectiveness to
include the final offering price as opposed to an “assumed” offering price.
Response:
Please
note that the assumed offering price of $5.00 per share has been changed in Amendment 2 to a range of $4.00 to $6.00 per share. When
a final offering price has been determined, the Registrant will file an Amendment to disclose that price.
U.S.

Page 2
Primary
Offering Prospectus, page 1
2. Please
revise throughout to clearly disclose the selling shareholder offering that will occur following
the IPO and listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Add risk factor disclosure regarding the
impact the selling shareholder offering may have upon the market price. In addition, please
reconcile the statement on page 120 that “any shares sold by the Selling Shareholders
until our Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted on an established public trading market will
take place at $5.00 per share” with the disclosure on the selling shareholder prospectus
cover page that “no sales of the shares covered by this prospectus shall occur until
the Ordinary Shares sold in our initial public offering begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital
Market.”
Response:
In
response to this comment, disclosure has been added to the Prospectus on the cover page and on pages 7, 24 and 120, including an additional
risk factor regarding the impact registration of the Resale Shares may have upon the market price of the Ordinary Shares. (Supplementally,
please note that the number of Resale Shares has been reduced from 2,350,000 to 2,000,000 shares.)
In
addition, the disclosure on the cover page of the Resale Prospectus has been revised to correspond to the disclosure on page 120 of the
primary offering prospectus.
Exhibits
3. We
note the addition of the amount of securities and offering price to the cover page. Please
revise the exhibits fee table.
Response:
In
response to this comment, Exhibit 107, the Fee Table, has been revised to reflect the number of securities being offered and the offering
price.
Alternate
Page for Resale Prospectus
The
Selling Shareholders, page Alt-4
4. We
note that the shares being registered for resale were recently purchased in the private transfers
disclosed on page 2. Please revise to disclose the price at which such shares were purchased
by the selling shareholders. Please also clarify the nature of any position, office, or other
material relationship which the selling shareholder has had within the past three years with
the registrant or any of its predecessors or affiliates, including the party from whom the
shares were purchased.
Response:
In
response to this comment, the Registrant has added disclosure to page Alt-2 of the Resale Prospectus and also to page 2 of the Public
Prospectus containing the price paid by each Selling Shareholder for its shares, the identities of the sellers and the nature
of any relationship between the Selling Shareholders and the Registrant, its affiliates and the sellers of the shares.
Supplementally, the Registrant notes
that Moonglade, which is controlled by Messrs. Cox and Lau, was willing to sell the shares to Majestic Dragon Investment Co. Limited
and Vibrant Sound Limited at a discount from the assumed initial public offering price. With respect to the Majestic Dragon sale, registration
of the shares for resale would increase the public float and thereby enable the Company to satisfy the listing requirements of the Nasdaq
Capital Market. Please also note that Mr. To's sale of shares to Mr. Lee was at the same price that Mr. To paid for the shares.

applicable, (i) that the shareholder guarantor of your credit facilities is Tom Ko Yuen Lau
and (ii) the relationship of that shareholder guarantor to your company, since we note that

Limited. Please also revise to describe any conflicts of interest arising from these

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

Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 submitted August 7, 2023
General
1.We note the changes you made to your disclosure appearing in the Summary and Risk
Factor sections relating to legal risks associated with operating in China, including Hong
Kong, and PRC regulations. It is unclear to us that there have been changes in the
regulatory environment in the PRC since the draft registration statement amendment
submitted on April 25, 2023 warranting revised disclosure to mitigate the challenges you
face and related disclosures. We note your Hong Kong-based subsidiaries as well as the
product sourcing and research and development that occurs exclusively in China. Based
FirstName LastNameKevin Cox
Comapany NameEnergys Group Ltd
August 28, 2023 Page 2
FirstName LastNameKevin Cox
Energys Group Ltd

Page 2
upon these China-based operations, we refer you to the Sample Letters to China-Based
Companies, which sought specific disclosures relating to uncertainties regarding the
enforcement of laws and the possibility that the rules and regulations in China can change
quickly with little advance notice. We do not believe that your revised disclosure stating
that Hong Kong and China’s political and legal systems are evolving and include inherent
uncertainties conveys the same risk. Please restore your disclosures in these areas to the
disclosures as they existed in the draft registration statement as of April 25, 2023.
Reorganization, page 2
2.Please clearly disclose the transaction whereby 5% and 6% of EGHL was transferred from
Sky Shadow to the two minority shareholders, including any compensation, direct or
indirect, and the reason for the transfer. Provide similar disclosures for the transfer of
shares in Moonglade to Messrs. Cox and Adams. As previously requested in comment
2, consider providing a diagram reflecting the organizational chart before the
reorganization and any interim steps as needed to help investors understand the steps of
the reorganization.
Prospectus Summary
Permission Required from Chinese Authorities, page 7
3.We note your response to comment 4 and reissue the comment in part. With respect to
any permissions or approvals required from Chinese authorities, including the China
Securities Regulatory Commission and the Cyberspace Administration of China, please
discuss the consequences to you and your investors if you or your subsidiaries (i) do not
receive or maintain such permissions or approvals from Chinese authorities, (ii)
inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals are not required, or (iii)
applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and you are required to obtain such
permissions or approvals in the future.
Risk Factors
Risks Related to Our Business Operations, page 11
4.We note the disclosure in the second risk factor on page 16 that "during the six months
ended December 31, 2022, we experienced a net loss of GBP1,034,698 (US$1,249,605)
and positive cash flows of GBP6,482 (US$7,829)" and "we experienced positive cash
flows for the first half of our 2023 fiscal year." Please reconcile with the financial
statements which reflect negative cash flows of GBP146,415 (US$176,824).
Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong and to Having Our Products Manufactured in
China, page 29
5.We note your response to comment 9 and reissue our comment in part. Please specifically
discuss the risk to investors in your ordinary shares if your legal protections are limited
with respect to your products and your Hong Kong subsidiaries.
