(the “Company”) submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2025. We set forth below in bold the comments in your letter relating to Form 20-F followed by the Company’s response to the comment. Form 20-F filed on September 18, 2025 Statement of Operations, page F-3 1. Please identify for us the business, competitive and economic factors that caused your sales to decline by 91%. Explain the underlying reasons for the reduction in sales orders from your largest customers. This information should also be included under Item 5 of your next Form 20-F. RESPONSE: We respectfully advise the staff as follows: The Company’s revenue for the years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024 were S$167,707 (approximately US$128,464) and S$1,882,803 (approximately US$1,380,848), respectively, representing a decrease of 91.1%. This reduction in revenue was primarily attributed to a reduction in sales orders from our largest customers due to a change in our business strategy in which we directly interact with our customers. As a result, the Company has expanded its sales channel from selling to our distributors to selling directly to customers, with the price of the products remaining largely unchanged, leading to a decline in revenue where sales to distributors have decreased significantly. In order to further build brand recognition and to diversify customer base, the Company has embarked on a sales channel diversification strategy whereby the Company targets end customers. The Company’s top five customers accounted for 90.4% and 84.6% of total revenue for the financial years ended April 30, 2024 and 2025. The reduction in orders from the Company’s largest customers was primarily attributable to the change in strategy described above, whereby those customers who operated as distributors reduced or ceased purchasing as the Company began engaging their end-customer base directly. The Company did not identify significant competitive or macroeconomic factors as primary contributors to the revenue decline during the financial year ended April 30, 2025, beyond the strategic and business factors described above. The Company acknowledges the Staff’s direction and confirms that it will include a discussion of the business, competitive, and economic factors described above as well as any relevant trends or uncertainties under Item 5 of Form 20-F for the financial year ending April 30, 2026. We hope this response has addressed all of the Staff’s concerns relating to the comment letter. Should you have additional questions regarding the information contained herein, please contact our securities counsel William S. Rosenstadt, Esq., Jason Ye, Esq. or Yarona Yieh, Esq. of Ortoli Rosenstadt LLP at wsr@orllp.legal, jye@orllp.legal or yly@orllp.legal.

given your disclosure on page 6 that customers pay a yearly maintenance fee, but software solutions services are bundled free of
charge with hardware.

revenue consists of maintenance-based contracts, wherein software solutions are provided free of charge.

and describe the risks related to any potential loss of one significant customer.

4. We
have reviewed your response to prior comment 11 and reissue in part. Please explain why the
loan is classified as a current asset instead of a long-term asset. In this regard, we note
that the loan agreement specifies a 36 month maturity and does not appear to indicate that
it is “due on demand.”

We note the Staff’s comment and respectfully advise the staff that Exhibit 10.23 has been revised to include the addendum letter
signed on 31st January 2024 which reflects the due on demand nature of the loan. Per ASC 470-10-45-2, the on-demand nature
reflects its classification as current on the balance sheet.

to the exhibit index regarding the omission of information from certain filed exhibits to
specify the rule relied upon. Pursuant to Item 601(b)(10)(iv), please include a statement
at the top of the first page of such exhibit stating that certain information has been excluded
because it is both not material and the type of information that the registrant treats as
private or confidential.

We note the Staff’s comment and respectfully advise the staff that we have revised the footnote to the exhibit index, and amended
Exhibit 10.23 accordingly.

Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
Prospectus Summary
Overview, page 4
We note your revised disclosure in response to comment 2 that "[yo]ur net loss and
accumulated deficit was S$1,667,823 and S$4,670,222 respectively for April 30,
2023, while [y]our net loss and accumulated deficit was S$2,359,844 (US$1,730,712)
and S$7,030,066 (US$5,155,849) for April 30, 2024. This signifies an increase of

on your sales increase. In this regard, we note the disclosure on page F-11 that one
specific customer comprised both 43% of your 2023 sales and 73% of your 2024
sales. If this customer is in any way related to the Registrant or its shareholders then
that issue should be clarified.
Cost of Sales, page 34
5.You state the increase in tools and hardware and production labor was “in line with
[y]our increased revenue.” However, we note the increase of 83% does not appear to
be consistent with the 189% increase in revenue. Please provide a substantive and
informative disclosure that identifies the specific factors that caused these trends.
Disclose the business, economic and competitive factors that drove an increase in
revenue substantially in excess of the increase in associated cost of sales. Any
material impact from the price risk disclosed on page 12 should be analyzed.
Gross Profit Margin, page 34
6.We note your cost of goods sold and gross profit measures exclude depreciation. The
accommodation in SAB Topic 11:B does not extend to the measure of gross profit,
which should reflect all costs of revenues in accordance with GAAP. If you wish to
retain an incomplete measure of gross profit in MD&A, you will need to select an
alternate label for the measure and provide a reconciliation from gross profit in
accordance with GAAP to your non-GAAP measure along with the additional
information prescribed by Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K.

Note 5 - Loan to Third Parties, page F-14
11.Given that this asset comprises 30% of total assets, please file the loan agreement as
an Exhibit. See Item 601 of Regulation S-K. Also, please clarify for us why the
transaction is classified as an operating activity instead of as an investing activity in
your Statements of Cash Flows. Further, please also tell us whether PT Neura
Integrasi Solusi is in any way affiliated with the Registrant or its shareholders.
Note 16 - Loss Per Share, page F-21
12.Please clarify why the per share data assumes only 1 share of stock outstanding given
