Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1

RESPONSE: We respectfully advise the staff that we have revised the language on the cover page and on page 34 of the DRS/A to clarify that this offering is conditional on the NYSE’s approval of our listing.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations, page 51

Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1 Organization and Principal Activities, page F-8

 

5.We refer to footnote (1) on page F-8, where you state you have control of two entities through contractual arrangements. Please provide more robust disclosures regarding these two subsidiaries in accordance with paragraphs 7 and 10 of IFRS 12.

 

RESPONSE: We respectfully advise the staff that we have updated page F-9 of the DRS/A. Where less than 50% of the equity of a subsidiary is held, the Company (through its subsidiaries) holds significantly more voting rights on the Board of Directors of these two subsidiaries. An assessment has been made, taking into account all the factors relevant to the relationship with these two subsidiaries, to ascertain control has been established.

 

2.7 Property and Equipment, page F-17

 

6.Please explain why you depreciate land. We refer to guidance in paragraph 58 of IAS 16  . Also, disclose the judgement and assumptions used to determine the depreciation of land and buildings up to 60 years.

 

RESPONSE: We respectfully advise the staff that we have added the disclosure with regards to the depreciation of leasehold land on page F-20 of the DRS/A.

 

Depreciation is recognized from the date that the property, plant and equipment are installed and are ready for use, or in respect of internally constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use. Depreciation of land is recognized only for leasehold land based on the terms of the lease (i.e. 60 years) for the land as the leasehold land has a limited useful life and therefore is a depreciable asset.

RESPONSE: We respectfully advise the staff that we have updated the disclosure in page F-22 of the DRS/A.

 

8.Disclose the jurisdiction(s) that holds your cash and cash equivalents and address to what extent financial institutions in those jurisdictions insure your cash and cash equivalents. Disclose any restrictions associated with the transfer of cash outside its current jurisdiction(s).
