  Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
  Amendment 1 Submitted October 14, 2022
  File No. 333-0001945240

 

Dear Ms. Beukenkamp,

 

Please accept this letter as the response of Roma Green Finance Ltd (“Registrant” and “Company”) to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 filed September 6, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”). The Company is concurrently filing with the Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “Revised Registration Statement”), which includes changes in response to the Staff’s comments.

 

For your convenience, the comments have been reproduced below, followed by the Registrant’s response.

 

Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 Submitted September 6, 2022

 

Cover Page

 

1.Please disclose prominently on the prospectus cover page that you are not a Chinese operating company but a Cayman Islands holding company with operations conducted by your subsidiaries and that this structure involves unique risks to investors. Your disclosure should acknowledge that Chinese regulatory authorities could disallow this structure, which would likely result in a material change in your operations and/or a material change in the value of the securities you are registering for sale, including that it could cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or become worthless. Provide a cross- reference to your detailed discussion of risks facing the company and offering as a result.

 

Response:

 

The Company has revised the cover page to include the following disclosure in response to Comment 1.

 

“We are not a Chinese operating company but a holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As a holding company with no material operations of its own, we conduct our operations in Hong Kong through our subsidiary, Roma Risk Advisory Limited (“RRA”), incorporated in Hong Kong and Roma Advisory Pte. Ltd., incorporated in Singapore (collectively, the “Operating Subsidiaries”).”

“There are significant legal and operational risks associated with being based in or having the majority of operations in Hong Kong, including that changes in the legal, political and economic policies of the Chinese government, the relations between China and the United States, or Chinese or U.S. regulations may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, the Chinese government may disallow our current corporate structure. Recently, the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions and made a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in China with little advance notice, including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market, enhancing supervision over China-based companies listed overseas, adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews, and expanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement. No effective laws or regulations in the PRC explicitly require the Company to seek approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”) or any other PRC governmental authorities for the Company’s overseas listing plan, nor has the Company or any of the Operating Subsidiaries received any inquiry, notice, warning or sanctions regarding the planned overseas listing from the CSRC or any other PRC governmental authorities. However, since these statements and regulatory actions by the PRC government are newly published and official guidance and related implementation rules have not been issued, it is highly uncertain what the potential impact such modified or new laws and regulations will have on the Company’s daily business operation, the ability to accept foreign investments and list on an U.S. exchange. Any such changes could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities to investors, and could cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless. See “Prospectus Summary - Recent Regulatory Development in the PRC” beginning on page 14 and “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Doing Business in Hong Kong” beginning on page 24.”

 

2.Provide prominent disclosure about the legal and operational risks associated with being based in or having the majority of your operations in Hong Kong. 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 and provide a cross-reference to your risk factor discussing the HFCAA. Your prospectus summary should address, but not necessarily be limited to, the risks highlighted on the prospectus cover page.

 

Response:

 

The Company references its response to Comment 1 above and has included the following additional disclosure on the cover page in response to Comment 2.

 

“The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or HFCA Act was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCA Act states if the SEC determines that a company has filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the United States (the “ PCAOB”) for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit the company’s shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the United States. Our auditor, KCCW Accounting Corp, the independent registered public accounting firm that issues the audit report included in this prospectus, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess KCCW Accounting Corp’s compliance with applicable professional standards. KCCW Accounting Corp is headquartered in Los Angeles, California and has been inspected by the PCAOB on a regular basis, with the last inspection in 2020. Therefore, we believe that, as of the date of this prospectus, our auditor is not subject to the PCAOB determinations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Doing Business in Hong Kong — The PCAOB’s HFCAA Determination Report dated December 16, 2021, that the Board is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms headquartered in China or Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region and dependency of the PRC, because of a position taken by one or more authorities in China or Hong Kong (“the Determination”) could result in the prohibition of trading in our securities by not being allowed to list on a U.S. exchange, and as a result an exchange may determine to delist our securities, which would materially affect the interest of our investors” on page 26. On August 26, 2022, the PCAOB signed a Statement of Protocol with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China, taking the first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigate registered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong completely, consistent with U.S law. It includes three provisions that, if abided by, would grant the PCAOB complete access for the first time: (1) the PCAOB has sole discretion to select the firms, audit engagements and potential violations it inspects and investigates – without consultation with, nor input from, Chinese authorities; (2) procedures are in place for PCAOB inspectors and investigators to view complete audit work papers with all information included and for the PCAOB to retain information as needed; and (3) the PCAOB has direct access to interview and take testimony from all personnel associated with the audits the PCAOB inspects or investigates. However, there can be no assurance that China will abide by the Statement of Protocol with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China and that on-site inspections and investigations of firms headquartered in mainland China and Hong Kong will occur and allows for full and timely access to information.”

Additional revisions to this comment have been included in other areas of the prospectus.

 

3.Clearly disclose how you will refer to the holding company and subsidiaries when providing the disclosure throughout the document so that it is clear to investors which entity the disclosure is referencing and which subsidiaries or entities are conducting the business operations.

 

Response:

 

The Revised Registration Statement includes clarifications in the definitions section relating to the operating subsidiaries to specifically identify those which entity the Registrant is referring to. The Revised Registration Statement has been amended throughout to reflect those definitional changes.

 

4.Provide a description of how cash is transferred through your organization and disclose your intentions to distribute earnings. State whether any transfers, dividends, or distributions have been made to date between the holding company and its subsidiaries, or to investors, and quantify the amounts where applicable. Provide cross-references to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Response:

 

The Revised Registration Statement has been amended to include the following disclosures in response to this comment:

 

“The Company holds all of the equity interests in its Hong Kong and Singapore subsidiaries through a subsidiary incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, or BVI. As we have a direct equity ownership structure, we do not have any agreement or contract between our Company and any of its subsidiaries that are typically seen in a variable interest entity structure. Within our direct equity ownership structure, funds from foreign investors can be directly transferred to our Hong Kong or Singapore subsidiaries by way of capital injection or in the form of a shareholder loan from the Company following this offering. As a holding company, we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Operating Subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements. We are permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands and our memorandum and articles of association (as amended from time to time) to provide funding to our Operating Subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong and Singapore through loans and/or capital contributions. Our Operating Subsidiaries are permitted under the laws of Hong Kong and Singapore (as the case may be) to issue cash dividends to us without limitation on the size of such dividends. However, if any of our Operating Subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends. We do not maintain formal cash management policies or procedures with respect to the size or means of such transfers. There can be no assurance that the PRC government will not restrict or prohibit the flow of cash in or out of Hong Kong.”

5.Please amend your disclosure here and in the summary risk factors and risk factors sections to state that, to the extent cash or other assets in your business is in Hong Kong or a Hong Kong entity, the funds or assets may not be available to fund operations or for other use outside of Hong Kong due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of you or your subsidiaries by the PRC government to transfer cash or assets. On your cover page, provide a cross-reference to these other discussions.

 

Response:

 

Please see response to Comment 4 above. Further, the Company has added the risk factor below:

 

“The Company may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by the Operating Subsidiaries to fund any cash and financing requirements it may have, and any limitation on the ability of the Operating Subsidiaries to make payments to the Company could have a material and adverse effect on the business.

 

Within our direct equity ownership structure, funds from foreign investors can be directly transferred to our Hong Kong or Singapore subsidiaries by way of capital injection or in the form of a shareholder loan from the Company following this offering. As a holding company, we may rely on dividends and other distributions on equity paid by our Operating Subsidiaries for our cash and financing requirements. We are permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands and our memorandum and articles of association (as amended from time to time) to provide funding to our Operating Subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong and Singapore through loans and/or capital contributions. Our Operating Subsidiaries are permitted under the laws of Hong Kong and Singapore (as the case may be) to issue cash dividends to us without limitation on the size of such dividends. However, if any of our Operating Subsidiaries incur debt on their own behalf, the instruments governing such debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends. As of the date of this prospectus, our Operating Subsidiaries have not encountered difficulties or limitations with respect to their respective abilities to transfer cash between each other. They do not maintain formal cash management policies or procedures with respect to the size or means of such transfers. There can be no assurance that the PRC government will not restrict or prohibit the flow of cash in or out of Hong Kong. Any limitation on the ability of the Operating Subsidiaries to distribute dividends or other payments to the Company could materially and adversely limit the ability to grow, make investments or acquisitions that could be beneficial to the businesses, pay dividends or otherwise fund and conduct the business.”

 

6.To the extent you have cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred between you, your subsidiaries, or investors, summarize the policies on your cover page and in the prospectus summary, and disclose the source of such policies (e.g., whether they are contractual in nature, pursuant to regulations, etc.); alternatively, state on the cover page and in the prospectus summary that you have no such cash management policies that dictate how funds are transferred. Provide a cross-reference on the cover page to the discussion of this issue in the prospectus summary.

7.We note that you state here that “[w]e are an “Emerging Growth Company”...under applicable U.S. federal securities laws...” Please check the box on the Form F-1 cover page after the statement “Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933” or revise your disclosure accordingly.

Definitions, page 7

 

8.We note that you carve out Hong Kong from the definition of “PRC.” Please revise to clarify that the legal and operational risks associated with operating in China also apply to operations in Hong Kong.

 

Response:

 

The Registrant has revised the definition of PRC below in response to Comment 7.

 

“PRC” means the People’s Republic of China, excluding, for the purposes of this prospectus only, Hong Kong, but it is note that legal and operational risks associated with operating in the People’s Republic of China may also apply to operations in Hong Kong.”

 

Prospectus Summary, page 8

 

9.Please revise your disclosure to clarify that the section titled “Risks and Challenges” on page 10 is your summary of risk factors, to the extent accurate. 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 Hong Kong 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 Hong Kong-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 Hong Kong-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. Additionally, for each individual risk please include cross-references to the more detailed discussion provided by the relevant risk factor.

 

Response:

 

The Registrant has a risk factor entitled “There are political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong” that addresses several of the concerns set forth in this Comment. The Registrant has included cross references with page numbers to each risk factor but has not detailed the entire title of each risk factor in such cross reference to ensure this section stays within the two page limitation relating to summary of risk factors set forth in Item 105 of Regulation S-K.

 

Business of our Operating Subsidiary, page 9

 

10.We note your disclosure here of the business activities and offerings related to your advisory services.

Additionally, please clarify the meaning of these terms, where appropriate and expand your business section to include discussion of the business activities associated with these service offerings.

 

Response:

 

The Registrant has revised the disclosure throughout the Revised Registration Statement in response to this comment and included additional disclosure on the meanings of these terms.

If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be unaffected by higher inflation rates in Singapore or globally in the future.”
