Amendment No.3 to Registration Statement on Form F-1
Cover Page
| 1. | We note your conclusion that, “[b]ased on management’s internal assessment . . . JL, Sun Choice, and our operating subsidiary, JLHK, are not required to obtain any permissions or approvals from any Chinese authorities to operate their business as of the date of this prospectus.” In this regard, we note that you do not appear to have relied upon an opinion of counsel with respect to your conclusion that you do not need any PRC permissions and approvals to operate your business and to offer securities to investors. If true, state as much and explain why such an opinion was not obtained. Additionally, please make conforming revisions to the section captioned “Permission Required from Hong Kong and PRC Authorities” starting on page 15 and the resale prospectus cover page.
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the referenced disclosure on the prospectus cover page, page 16, page 138, the resale prospectus cover page and page alt-8 of the Revised Registration Statement. |
