On behalf of our client, First High-School Education Group Co., Ltd., a foreign private issuer incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), we are filing herewith the Company’s registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) and certain exhibits via EDGAR to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).
To facilitate your review, we have separately delivered to you today five courtesy copies of the Registration Statement, marked to show changes to the revised draft registration statement confidentially submitted on April 30, 2020, as well as two copies of the filed exhibits.
In accordance with the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, as amended, the Company plans to file an amendment to the Registration Statement containing the estimated price range and offering size and launch the road show no earlier than 15 days after the date hereof.
Financial Statements
The Company has included in this submission its audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and 2019 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019, and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and for each of the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2020.
The Company respectfully advises the Commission that it is submitting a representation letter as filed as Exhibit 99.3 to the Registration Statement, pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F to comply with the 15-month requirement instead of the 12-month requirement for its financial statements.
