3.We note your revisions in response to comment 5, however the statement of the opinion of your Hong Kong legal counsel speaks only to permissions from Hong Kong authorities to issue your ordinary shares to foreign investors. Please revise to indicate that counsel’s opinion is that you are not required to seek approval from the CSRC, CAC or any other PRC authority to offer your ordinary shares to foreign investors, to the extent accurate. In addition please disclose that if you were to become subject to PRC laws and/or authorities you could incur material costs to ensure compliance and experience devaluation of your securities or delisting.

 

Response:

 

The Registrant is 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, the Registrant conducts its operations in Hong Kong through its subsidiary, Roma Risk Advisory Limited, incorporated in Hong Kong and Roma Advisory Pte. Ltd., incorporated in Singapore. Neither of these companies have any nexus to or material operations in the PRC. Because the Registrant is not a Chinese company on the basis of discussions with PRC counsel it does not believe it is subject to regulation in China. However, the Registrant has revised the disclosure to provide that in the opinion of our Hong Kong and PRC counsel, we are also currently not required to obtain any pre-approval from Chinese authorities (including those in Hong Kong) to list on a U.S. stock exchange, including the NASDAQ and further that if it were to become subject to PRC laws and/or authorities it could incur material costs to ensure compliance and experience devaluation of its Ordinary Shares or possibly delisting.

4.Your disclosure in this section states that the auditors of your company reside outside the United States. Please reconcile this statement with the disclosure elsewhere saying that your auditor is headquartered in California.

 

Response:

 

The disclosure is in this section relating our auditors has been deleted.

5.We note your response to prior comment 7, including revisions to the risk factor beginning on page 26 titled “The PCAOB’s HFCAA Determination Report dated December 16, 2021...” Please revise your disclosure elsewhere throughout your prospectus to provide conforming changes regarding the status of the Statement of Protocol Agreement between the PCAOB and the China Securities Regulatory Commission and Ministry of Finance. For example, we note your discussion in the section titled “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCA Act”)” beginning on page 12 of your Prospectus Summary.
