Dear Mr. Alper:
WF International Ltd. (the “Company,”
“we,” “our” or “us”) hereby submit this letter to the staff (the “Staff”,
“you” or “your”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
in connection with the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment No.
1”) to be filed with the Commission on the date hereof.
On November 8, 2023, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No.333-275382) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”)
in connection with the initial public offering of its ordinary shares (the “Offering”). The Registration Statement was declared
effective by the Commission on December 20, 2024. The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC approved the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares
on the Nasdaq Capital Market on January 16, 2025. However, to date, no securities have been sold under the Registration Statement and
the Company has not consummated the Offering.
The Company and the underwriters
wish to proceed with the Offering. Therefore, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to include its most recent audited
financial statements and update certain other information. No additional securities are registered under this Post-Effective Amendment
No. 1 and the terms of the Offering remain unchanged. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of
the Registration Statement.
We thank the Staff in advance for
its consideration of the foregoing and review of our filings related to the Offering. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate
to contact our legal counsel, Richard I. Anslow, Esq., of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, at (212) 370-1300.

Dear Mr. Alper:
WF International Ltd. (the “Company,”
“we,” “our” or “us”) hereby transmits our response to the comment letter received
from the staff (the “Staff”, “you” or “your”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”), dated November 17, 2023, regarding the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration
Statement”) filed to the Commission on November 8, 2023.
For the Staff’s convenience,
we have repeated below the Staff’s comment in bold, and have followed the comment with the Company’s response. In response
to the Staff’s comments, the Company is filing via Edgar Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement (the “Amendment No.
1”) with this response letter.
Registration Statement on Form F-1 Filed November
8, 2023
Prospectus Cover Page, page 1
1.
Please revise to disclose Mr. Chen's ownership after the offering assuming the overallotment is exercised, in addition to the current disclosure.
In response to the Staff’s comment,
we have revised disclosures on the prospectus cover page of the Amendment No. 1.
General
2.
We note the changes you made to your disclosure appearing on the cover page and Risk Factor section relating to legal and operational risks associated with operating in China and PRC regulations. It is unclear to us that there have been changes in the regulatory environment in the PRC since the last draft registration statement amendment submitted on September 7, 2023, warranting revised disclosure to mitigate the challenges you face and related disclosures. The Sample Letters to China-Based Companies sought specific disclosure relating to the risk that the PRC government may intervene in or influence your operations at any time, or may exert control over operations of your business, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the securities you are registering for sale. We remind you that, pursuant to federal securities rules, the term “control” (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by,” and “under common control with”) as defined in Securities Act Rule 405 means “the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.” The Sample Letters also sought specific disclosures relating to uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that the rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice. We do not believe that your revised disclosure referencing the PRC government’s intent to strengthen its regulatory oversight conveys the same risk. Please restore your disclosures in these areas to the disclosures as they existed in the last draft registration statement amendment submitted on September 7, 2023.
In response to the Staff’s comment, we have restored the disclosures on the prospectus cover page, in the prospectus summary on pages 8, 11, and 13, and in the “Risk Factor” section on pages 18, 20-26 and 32 of the Amendment No. 1.
3.
We note that in your response to prior comment 1 you state the two leases were registered on September 27, 2023 and that you removed the prior risk factor disclosure. Please revise to provide clear disclosure throughout the filing of the prior failure to register the two lease agreements with the relevant government authorities. Please specify the governmental authorities with whom the leases were filed, any fines or penalties due to the failure to register, and whether this failure to register has or may in the future impact the other regulatory permissions you have received or will receive. Please add risk factor disclosure.
In response to the Staff’s comment, we have restored and revised the risk factor disclosures in the “Risk Factor” section on page 35 of the Amendment No. 1.
We thank the Staff in advance
for its consideration of the foregoing. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our legal counsel, Richard I.

“control” (including the terms “controlling,” “controlled by,” and “under common control

the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person,

Dear
Mr. Alper:
WF
International Ltd. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) hereby
transmits our response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”, “you” or “your”)
of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), dated August 28, 2023, regarding Draft Registration
Statement on Form F-1 submitted to the Commission on August 16, 2023.
For
the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below the Staff’s comments in bold, and have followed each comment with the Company’s
response. In response to the Staff’s comments, the Company is submitting via Edgar a revised registration statement (the “Revised
Registration Statement”) with this response letter.
Amendment
1 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed August 16, 2023
Overview,
page 62
1. We
note your response to comment 3. Please address how recent developments in the Chinese real
estate industry, such as the bankruptcy of other real estate companies doing business in
China, may affect your current and future business.
In response to the Staff’s comment, we have revised our disclosure
in the “Prospectus Summary” section on page 9, the “Risk Factors” section on pages 36-38, the “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section on page 64 and the “Regulation – Regulations
Relating to Tightening Real Estate Development Company Financing Policy” section on page 112 of the Revised Registration Statement.
Note
1-Nature of business and organization
Organization
and Reorganization, page F-35
2. We
note, from your response to comment 6, that you believe Ms. Ke Chen had effective control
of WF International Limited (“WF”) from its inception. It appears your conclusion
is based on the statements that WF was set up on March 2, 2023 with an intention to issue
a controlling interest to Ms. Ke Chen (including her husband Jinshan Yao’s shares)
and that Ms. Ke Chen held 70% of the voting power. In light of Emerald Investments ownership
of 100% of the issued shares of WF from inception until May 22, 2023, please clarify for
us how you concluded that Ms. Ke Chen had effective control of WF prior to May 22, 2023 and
that Ms. Ke Chen held 70% of the voting power. Within your response, please reference the
authoritative accounting literature management relied upon in its determination that Ms.
Ke Chen had control of WF prior to May 22, 2023.
We respectfully
advise the Staff that the Company believes Ms. Ke Chen had effective control of WF International Limited (“WF”) prior
to May 22, 2023, pursuant to ASC 810-10-15-8. This accounting standard provides that a shareholder with less than 50% of the outstanding
voting shares may still exercise control through agreements with other shareholders.
Specifically,
pursuant to the board resolutions of Chengdu Shanyou HVAC Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Shanyou HVAC”) on October 10, 2022,
which approved Shanyou HVAC to seek an initial public offering in the U.S. and related reorganization plan, Ms. Ke Chen and her spouse
would own 70% and Emerald Investments International, LLC (“Emerald Investment”), which is controlled by Ms. Ni Jiang,
would own 30% of the shares of WF. As part of the reorganization plan, Ms. Chen and Ms. Jiang verbally agreed that that Ms. Jiang would
temporarily hold 70% of the shares of WF on behalf of Ms. Chen, who has the ultimate voting and investment control over such shares.
Ms. Jiang and Ms. Chen further verbally agreed that, during the period when Ms. Ni Jiang held 100% of the shares of WF, Ms. Ni may only
manage WF’s matters consistent with the pre-approved reorganization process and will obtain Ms. Chen’s written approval for
any matters falling outside of those necessary to complete the reorganization process.
Based
on the agreements between Ms. Chen and Ms. Jiang, although Ms. Chen held less than 50% of WF’s outstanding voting shares from its
inception until May 22, 2023, the Company believes she had effective control over WF pursuant to ASC 810-10-15-8.
In
addition, the Company believes Ms. Chen’s effective control over WF was also supported by the fact that, the initial public offering
of Shanyou HVAC and related reorganization plan was under the direction and approval of Ms. Chen, who was then a controlling shareholder
and sole director of Shanyou HVAC.
We
thank the Staff in advance for its consideration of the foregoing. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our
legal counsel, Richard I. Anslow, Esq., of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, at (212) 370-1300.

note disclosure that strict financial regulations imposed on the real estate market in 2022

Note 1- Nature of business and
organization Organization and Reorganization, page F-7
6. Your
disclosure seems to indicate that before and after reorganization, the registrant, WF International
Limited (“WF”), and Chengdu Shanyou HVAC Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Shanyou
HVAC”) were controlled by the same shareholders, and therefore the reorganization is
considered as a recapitalization of entities under common control in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50-25. Please clarify for us how you determined
these two entities had the same controlling shareholder before the reorganization and the
ownership percentage held by such shareholder. Within your response, please clarify who controlled
WF when it, through WFOE, acquired the initial 5% of Shanyou HVAC, who controlled WF when
it, through WFOE, acquired the remaining 95% of Shanyou HVAC, who controlled Shanyou HVAC
prior to the sale of the initial 5% interest to WFOE, and who controlled Shanyou HVAC prior
to the sale of the remaining 95% interest to WFOE. Your response should include your basis
in U.S. GAAP for your determination of who controlled a specific entity at a specific point
in time.
Response
to Comment No. 6: We respectfully advise the Staff that WF International Limited (“WF”) is s a holding Company established
for the purpose of initial public offering for Chengdu
Shanyou HVAC Engineering Co., Ltd. (“Shanyou HVAC”) in the U.S.
WF was set up on March 2, 2023, with
a capital structure of 100,000 shares, of which the Company intended to issue 70,000 and 30,000 shares, respectively, to Ms. Ke Chen (including
her husband Jinshan Yao’s 19,000 shares) and Emerald Investment International (“Emerald Investment”).
On March 2, 10,000 shares were issued
to Emerald Investment and the remaining 20,000 and 70,000 shares were issued to Emerald Investment, and Ke Chen (including 19,000 shares
to her husband), respectively, on May 22, 2023.
We believe Ms. Ke Chen had an effective
control of WF from inception to the date of the reorganization, holding 70% of the voting power of WF. Ms. Ke Chen also held 95.83% of
the voting power of Shanyou HVAC prior to the initial acquisition of 5% of Shanyou HVAC on May 8, 2023 and 90.83% of the voting power
prior to the sale of 95% of Shanyou HVAC on May 29, 2023.
Since Ms. Ke Chen has more than 50%
of voting power in both WF and Shanyou HVAC before and after the reorganization, including before and after the acquisition of Shanyou
HVAC, the reorganization is considered a recapitalization of entities under common control, and the financial statements were presented
using historical costs in accordance with ASC 805.
Note 2 - Summary of significant
accounting policies Contract assets and contract liabilities, page F-10
7. We
note your disclosure that costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings of project is
due to the difference between the cost and the actual cost confirmed by the
output method. Please clarify for us and in your filing what is meant by “cost”
and “actual cost” in this context, or tell us why revisions are unnecessary.
Response to Comment No. 7:
We respectfully advise the Staff that the Company has included contract fulfilment costs in the presentation of contract assets and has
thus reclassified contract fulfilment costs from contract assets, net on pages F-31 and F-34 and revised the related disclosure on pages
F-38, F-46 and F-47 of the Revised Registration Statement. The Company has added accounting policy on contract fulfilment costs on page
F-38 of the Revised Registration Statement.
Please see our response to Comment
No. 8 below for clarification on reclassification.
8. We
note your disclosure that contract liabilities consist of the portion of the carry-over cost
that exceeds the actual cost of the project. Please clarify the meaning of this statement
for us and in your filing, or tell us why revisions are unnecessary.
Response to Comment No. 8:
We respectfully advise the Staff that the Company has included accrued contract costs in the presentation of contract liabilities and
thus reclassified accrued contract costs from contract liabilities to accrued liabilities on pages F-31 and F-34 and revised related disclosure
on pages F-38 and F-46 to F-47.
Due to the aforementioned reclassifications,
the Company also takes into the consideration of ASC 250-10-50-7 through 11 on correction of an error in previously issued financial statements
and SAB No. 99 Topic 1M Materiality. In accordance of SAB No. 99 Topic 1M, “The omission or misstatement of an item in a financial
report is material if, in the light of surrounding circumstances, the magnitude of the item is such that it is probable that the judgment
of a reasonable person relying upon the report would have been changed or influenced by the inclusion or correction of the item”.
As of September 30, 2022 and 2021,
the Company reclassified $4,189,127 and $3,423,441, respectively, from contract assets to contract fulfilment costs. Both contract assets
and contract fulfilment costs are within current assets accounts. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company
reclassified cash outflow of $1,193,547 and $2,285,571, respectively, from changes in contract assets to changes in contract fulfilment
costs. Both changes in contract assets and changes in contract fulfilment costs are within net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.
As of September 30, 2022 and 2021,
the Company reclassified $67,338 and $169,984, respectively, from contract liabilities to accrued liabilities. Both contract liabilities
and accrued liabilities are within current liabilities accounts. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company reclassified
cash outflow of $94,041 and $222,996, respectively, from changes in contract liabilities to changes in accrued liabilities. Both changes
in contract liabilities and changes in accrued liabilities are within net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.
Management believes the above
reclassifications are not a material misstatement because:
1) both
contract assets and contract fulfilment costs are within current assets accounts. The corrections had no impact on the Company’s
current assets for each period presented;
2) both
changes in contract assets and changes in contract fulfilment costs are within net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. The
corrections had no impact on the Company’s net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for each period presented;
3) both
contract liabilities and accrued liabilities are within current liabilities accounts. The corrections had no impact on the Company’s
current assets for each period presented;
4) both
changes in contract liabilities and changes in accrued liabilities are within net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. The
corrections had no impact on the Company’s net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for each period presented;
5) the
corrections do not have any effect on revenues, retained earnings, equity, total assets or current assets, total liabilities or current
liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial positions or any per-share amounts for each period presented;
6) the
corrections do not change earnings, or hide a failure to meet analysts’ consensus expectations for the Company, or affect the Company’s
compliance with regulatory requirements or loan covenants or other contractual requirement, or have an effect of increasing management’s
compensation; and
7) the
corrections do not involve concealment of an unlawful transaction.
Based on the above analysis, the Company does not consider that the judgment
of a reasonable person relying upon the previously filed consolidated statements of balances sheets and cash flows would have been changed
or influenced by the inclusion or correction made to such statements. Therefore, the Company has concluded that the corrections are immaterial.
1
In order to properly disclose the
classifications made to the Company’s consolidated statements of balance sheets and cash flows, the Company has revised the disclosure
on page F-44 of the Revise Registration Statement.
We thank the Staff in advance for
its consideration of the foregoing. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our legal counsel, Richard I. Anslow,
Esq., of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP, at (212) 370-1300.
