Dear
Ms. Sidwell and Ms. Purnell:
By
letter dated June 6, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”), the staff (the “Staff,” “you” or “your”)
of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provided Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (the “Company,”

Set forth below are the Company’s responses to the Comment Letter. For your convenience, each of the Staff’s comments is
reproduced below, followed by the Company’s response to each comment. The numbered paragraphs below correspond to the numbered
comments in the Comment Letter.
Additionally,
the Company filed its Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) on July 29,
2024, which reflects revisions in response to the Comment Letter and certain other updates. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized
terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Statement and all references to page numbers in such responses
are to page numbers in Registration Statement.
Registration
Statement on Form S-1 filed on May 28, 2024
General
1.
We
note that your consummation of the purchase agreement and the exchange agreement will result in change of control with YYEM, a Hong
Kong based company, owning 82.4% of the outstanding shares of common stock. We also note that the new board of directors following
the acquisition will be heavily based in Hong Kong. To help us better understand the transaction, please provide your analysis on
whether you will be a China- Based company following the acquisition of YYEM. Your response should specifically address whether you
will be based in or have the majority of your operations in China.
Response:
Yuanyu Enterprise Management Co., Limited (“YYEM”) was incorporated and is existing under the law of Hong Kong. During
the fiscal year 2024, all of the Company’s revenue was generated from licensing agreements with licensees in Hong Kong. As
of the date of this letter, YYEM has two employees in the U.S., three employees in the United Kingdom, two employees in Canada, and
four employees in Hong Kong.
2.
If
you will be a China-Based company following the acquisition of YYEM, please revise your registration statement to address each comment
in the Division of Corporation Finance’s December 20, 2021 guidance, “Sample Letter to China-Based Companies” or
explain why such comments are not applicable to you. Please note that the comments direct you to where the responsive disclosure
should appear and, in some instances, disclosure is required in more than one location of your prospectus. Please ensure that you
address all components of each comment. Please also review the Division of Corporation Finance’s July 17, 2023 guidance, “Sample
Letter to Companies Regarding China- Specific Disclosures” and comply with all applicable comments. In your response letter,
please identify where you have included responsive disclosure as to each comment of the guidance or tell us why certain comments
may not apply to you.
Response:
We have addressed each applicable comment in the Division of Corporation Finance’s December 20, 2021 guidance, “Sample Letter
to China-Based Companies” (the “2021 Sample Letter”) and the Division of Corporation Finance’s July 17, 2023
guidance, “Sample Letter to Companies Regarding China- Specific Disclosures” (the “2023 Sample Letter”) and explained
why other comments are not applicable below.
2021
Sample Letter
Comment 2: Prospectus Cover Page. Provide prominent disclosure about the legal and operational risks associated with being
based in or having the majority of the company’s operations in China. Your disclosure should make clear whether these risks
could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the securities you are registering for sale or could
significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of
such securities to significantly decline or be worthless. Your disclosure should address how recent statements and regulatory
actions by China’s government, such as those related to the use of variable interest entities and data security or
anti-monopoly concerns, have or may impact the company’s ability to conduct its business, accept foreign investments, or list
on a U.S. or other foreign exchange. Please disclose whether your auditor is subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on
December 16, 2021 and whether and how the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and related regulations will affect your
company. Your prospectus summary should address, but not necessarily be limited to, the risks highlighted on the prospectus cover
page.
Response:
We have included the disclosure described above in the prospectus cover page and the prospectus summary of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement.
Comment
7: Prospectus Summary. In your summary of risk factors, disclose the risks that your corporate structure and being based in or
having the majority of the company’s operations in China poses to investors. In particular, describe the significant regulatory,
liquidity, and enforcement risks with cross-references to the more detailed discussion of these risks in the prospectus. For example,
specifically discuss risks arising from the legal system in China, including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws
and that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice; and the risk that the Chinese government may intervene
or influence your operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based
issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the securities you are registering for sale.
Acknowledge any risks that any actions by the Chinese government to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted
overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completely hinder your ability to offer or continue
to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
Response:
We have included the disclosure described above in the prospectus summary section of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement.
Comment
8: Prospectus Summary. Disclose each permission or approval that you, your subsidiaries, or the VIEs are required to obtain from
Chinese authorities to operate your business and to offer the securities being registered to foreign investors. State whether you, your
subsidiaries, or VIEs are covered by permissions requirements from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), Cyberspace Administration
of China (CAC) or any other governmental agency that is required to approve the VIE’s operations, and state affirmatively whether
you have received all requisite permissions or approvals and whether any permissions or approvals have been denied. Please also describe
the consequences to you and your investors if you, your subsidiaries, or the VIEs: (i) do not receive or maintain such permissions or
approvals, (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.
Response:
We have disclosed each permission or approval that YYEM is required obtain from Chinese authorities to operate its business, whether
YYEM is covered by permissions requirements from the CSRC, CAC or any other governmental agency, and consequences to YYEM and our investors
if YYEM (i) does not receive or maintain such permissions or approvals, (ii) inadvertently conclude that such permissions or approvals
are not required, or (iii) applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and YYEM is required to obtain such permissions or
approvals in the future.
Comment
11: Prospectus Summary. Disclose that trading in your securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable
Act if the PCAOB determines that it cannot inspect or investigate completely your auditor, and that as a result an exchange may determine
to delist your securities. Disclose whether your auditor is subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021.
Response:
We have included the disclosure described above in the prospectus summary section of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement.
Comment
13: Risk Factors. We note your disclosure about the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act. Please expand your risk factors
to disclose that the United States Senate has passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if enacted, would
decrease the number of “non-inspection years” from three years to two years, and thus, would reduce the time before your
securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted. Update your disclosure to reflect that the Commission adopted rules to implement
the HFCAA and that, pursuant to the HFCAA, the PCAOB has issued its report notifying the Commission of its determination that it is unable
to inspect or investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in mainland China or Hong Kong.
Response:
We have included the disclosure described above in the risk factors section of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement.
Comment
14: Risk Factors. Given the Chinese government’s significant oversight and discretion over the conduct of your business,
please revise to highlight separately the risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, which
could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the securities you are registering. Also, given recent statements
by the Chinese government indicating an intent to exert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or
foreign investment in China-based issuers, acknowledge the risk that any such action could significantly limit or completely hinder your
ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.
Response:
We have included the disclosure described above in the risk factors section of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement.
Comment
15: Risk Factors. In light of recent events indicating greater oversight by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) over
data security, particularly for companies seeking to list on a foreign exchange, please revise your disclosure to explain how this oversight
impacts your business and your offering and to what extent you believe that you are compliant with the regulations or policies that have
been issued by the CAC to date.
Response:
We have included the disclosure described above in the risk factors section of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement.
Comments
#1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 12 in the 2021 Sample Letter are not applicable to us because there is no variable interest entities structure
in our proposed transaction. The Company, which is the issuer and the parent company, will remain a Delaware corporation and will own
YYEM upon closing of the proposed transaction.

Sample Letter
Comment
1: Item 9C of Form 10-K - Commission-Identified Issuers. We note your statement that you reviewed public filings in connection
with your required submission under paragraph (a) of Item 9C of Form 10-K. Please supplementally describe any additional materials that
were reviewed and tell us whether you relied upon any legal opinions or third-party certifications, such as affidavits, as the basis
for your submission. In your response, please provide a similarly detailed discussion of the materials reviewed and legal opinions or
third-party certifications relied upon in connection with the required disclosures under paragraphs (b)(2) and (3) of Item 9C of Form
10-K.
Response:
Not applicable to the Company, as the independent registered public accounting firm that prepared the audit report on the Company’s
financial statements included in the Registration Statement does not have a branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction
where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has determined it is unable to inspect or investigate companies completely because
of a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction.
Comment
2: Item 9C of Form 10-K - Commission-Identified Issuers. In order to clarify the scope of your review, please supplementally describe
the steps you have taken to confirm that none of the members of your board or the boards of your consolidated foreign operating entities
are officials of the Chinese Communist Party. For instance, please tell us how the board members’ current or prior memberships
on, or affiliations with, committees of the Chinese Communist Party factored into your determination. In addition, please tell us whether
you have relied upon third-party certifications, such as affidavits, as the basis for your disclosure.
Response:
None of the members of our board or the board of YYEM are officials of Chinese Communist Party, or the CCP. We have factored the individual’s
current or prior memberships on, or affiliations with, committees of the Chinese Communist Party, or the CCP, into such determination.
According to regulations issued by the CCP Central Committee, the term “official” refers to individuals holding leadership
positions in various departments or institutions of the Central Committee of the CCP, the Standing Committee of the National People’s
Congress, the State Council, the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the Central Commission
for Discipline Inspection, the National Supervisory Commission, the Supreme People’s Court, and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate,
as well as individuals holding leadership positions in departments or institutions of the above mentioned authorities at or above the
county level. Based on the examination of the biographies of, and the inquiries made with, all the directors of the Company and YYEM,
and the review of the official list published by the Chinese Communist Party, none of the members of our board of directors or the board
of directors of YYEM is an official of the Chinese Communist Party. In connection with such review and inquiries, the Company did not
rely upon any legal opinions or third-party certifications such as affidavits as the basis for disclosure. After taking the foregoing
steps, nothing has come to the Company’s attention suggesting that any such individual is an official of the Chinese Communist
Party or has any memberships or affiliations that could reasonably result in such individual being considered an official of the CCP.
Comment
3: Item 9C of Form 10-K - Commission-Identified Issuers. With respect to your disclosure pursuant to paragraph (b)(5) of Item
9C of Form 10-K, we note that you have included language that such disclosure is “to our best knowledge.” Please supplementally
confirm without qualification, if true, that your and your consolidated foreign operating entities’ articles of incorporation do
not contain wording from any charter of the Chinese Commu

Based company following the acquisition of YYEM. Your response should specifically
address whether you will be based in or have the majority of your operations in China.
2.If you will be a China-Based company following the acquisition of YYEM, please revise

Registrant response:
We note your argument to our prior response and respectfully disagree that activities that the registrant has undertaken in the furtherance of its planned business can be classified as the activities of a shell company. We do not believe that the registrant is a “shell company” as described under Rule 405 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Based on our representations and the disclosure in the registration statement, management and registrant’s legal counsel are of the opinion that the registrant would not be deemed as a shell company, for the following reasons:
1. Since inception, the registrant’s management has devoted a significant amount of time to the development of the business plan, research into the potential market, raising of capital, finding its customers and conclusion of agreements with them.
2. Since inception, the registrant has actively pursued its business plan, which is inconsistent with the business plan of a shell company. As described in the registration statement, the registrant operates as travel consultant and travel guide. Our service specializing in arranging brewery tours for tourists visiting the Czech Republic. The registrant does not intend to solely engage in any activities, which would be consistent with the business plan of a shell company.
3. Our sole officer and director has specific background experience in our line of business as stated in the Form S-1. We have also disclosed additional information regarding our president’s professional activity.
4. We have registered the web-domain “lazextravel.com” to promote our services online.
5. On September 5, 2016, we signed a Services Agreement with Kezhuzh Krinz, SRO (Czech Republic). As a result of this agreement we generated $3,000 of revenue. According to this agreement, we organized the 5-day “Breweries Tour” in the City of Prague (Czech Republic). Our customer visited 4 breweries: “Pivovarsky dum”, “U Medvidku”, “Pivovary Staropramen”, “Vinohradsky pivovar”.
On October 20, 2016, we signed the second Services Agreement with Harkuska Menti Gruppa, SRO (Czech Republic) and as the result of this agreement we generated $1,800 of revenue. According to the agreement, we have organized “Craft Beer Breweries and Pubs Tour” in the City of Prague (Czech Republic) from October 27, 2016 till October 30, 2016.
On March 10, 2017, we signed a Services Agreement with Agga Spokanu, SRO (Czech Republic) and as the result of this agreement we generated $2,000 of revenue.
We continue to negotiate new agreements with our potential clients and to develop new routes for them.
6. We have already started operations and continue to develop our business and our assets consist not only of cash.
The Registrant does not believe that such activities and the various other activities it has undertaken in the furtherance of its planned business that it can be classified as “shell company”.

Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed November 7, 2016
File No. 333-214463
Dear Mr. Shainess,
Lazex Inc. (the “Company”) herewith files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") amendment number 1 to the registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement") in response to the Commission's comments, dated December 2, 2016 (the "Comment Letter"), with reference to the Company's registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Commission on November 7, 2016.
In addition to the Amended Registration Statement, the Company supplementally responds to all the Commission's comments as follows (the term “our” or “we” as used herein refers to the Company):
General
1. A shell company, as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, is a registrant that has no or nominal operations and either: (i) no or nominal assets; (ii) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As it appears that you are a shell company, please prominently disclose at the onset of your prospectus that Lazex, Inc. is currently a shell company. Disclose the consequences of that status throughout the prospectus and risk factor disclosure, such as the limitations on the ability of your security holders to use Rule 144, the restrictions on your ability to use registration statements on Form S-8, the potential reduced liquidity or illiquidity of your securities, and the potential impact on your ability to attract additional capital.
Registrant response: We do not believe that Lazex Inc. is a “shell company” as defined in Securities Act Rule 405 of Regulation C, as amended. Rule 405 of Regulation C defines a “shell company” as a registrant that has: (1) no or nominal operations; and (2) either (i) no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. Specifically, we do not believe that Lazex Inc. can be classified as having “no or nominal operations”. Our management has specific knowledge and background experience in our line of business as stated in the S-1. From inception, Lazex Inc. devoted a significant amount of time to the development of its business. In furtherance of the planned business, Lazex Inc. investigated the market demand of touristic consultation business. Additionally, we have started to negotiate agreements with potential customers. We signed service agreement on September 5, 2016 and, as the result of the agreement, we generated $3,000 of revenue. On October 20, 2016, we signed the second agreement and generated $1,800 of revenue. We do not believe that such activities and the various other activities we have undertaken in the furtherance of our planned business can be classified as having “no or nominal operations”. Additionally, Black’s Law Dictionary defines “nominal” as “…titular, existing in name only, not real or substantial; connected with the transaction or proceeding in name only, not in interest, not real or actual; merely named, stated or given, without reference to actual conditions; often with the implication that the thing named is small, slight, or the like; in comparison to what might properly be expected, as scarcely to entitled to a name…”. Considering that the Company was and remains a “development stage company”, the scope of its operations may have been constrained at certain times by its capital resources, but at no time did its operational efforts lapse. Moreover, at no time have such operations been “not real” or “existing in name only” and such operations continue today. We do not believe that Lazex Inc. is a “shell company”.
2. Please disclose whether the company, its executive, any company promoters or their affiliates intend for the company, once reporting, to be used as a vehicle for a private company to become a reporting company. Also disclose, if true, that you do not believe the company is a blank check company because the company has no plans or intentions to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company, companies, entity or person.
Registrant response: We have disclosed that the company’s officers and directors, any company promoters, or their affiliates for the company do not intend, once it is reporting, to be used as a vehicle for a private company to become a reporting company. We have also disclosed that we do not believe the company is a blank check company because the company has no plans or intentions to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company, companies, entity or person.
3. It appears that, in addition to your principal executive office being located in the Czech Republic, your sole officer and director and the company’s assets will all be located in the Czech Republic. Please include a risk factor heading and disclosure to disclose these facts and provide a discussion of the risks specific to effecting service of process, enforcing judgments, and bringing original actions in the Czech Republic. Please also discuss where you intend to conduct business, where you intend focus your marketing efforts, and what language will be used on your proposed website.
