Amendment No. 3 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
Prospectus Summary
Risk Factors, page 6
1. 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 fully
investigate your
auditor, and that as a result an exchange may determine to delist your
securities. If the
PCAOB has been or is currently unable to inspect your auditor, revise
your disclosure to so
state.

2. Please disclose whether you are required to obtain any approvals to
offer securities to
foreign investors, whether you have received such approvals, and the
consequences to you
and your investors if you do not receive and maintain the approvals,
inadvertently
conclude that such approvals are not required, or applicable laws,
regulations, or
interpretations change and you are required to obtain approval in the
future.

3. We note from the audit opinion that you have a U.S.-based auditor that
is registered with
the PCAOB and currently subject to PCAOB inspection. Please disclose
any material
risks to the company and investors if it is later determined that the
PCAOB is unable to
inspect or investigate completely your auditor because of a position
taken by an authority
in a foreign jurisdiction. For example, disclose the risk that lack of
inspection could cause
trading in your securities to be prohibited under the Holding Foreign
Companies
Accountable Act and as a result an exchange may determine to delist
your securities.
4. Please expand your risk factor disclosure to discuss that the United
States Senate passed
the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if
enacted, would
decrease the number of non-inspection years from three years to two,
thus reducing the
time period before your securities may be prohibited from trading or
delisted.
