Re:Top Win International Ltd.

Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1

Submitted August 16, 2024

CIK No. 0002033515

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are in receipt of the comment letter dated September 12, 2024 regarding Top Win International Ltd. (the “Company”, “Top Win” or “we”) from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission staff (the “Staff”). An amended Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1 (the “Amended Draft Registration Statement No. 1”) is being submitted confidentially to accompany this letter. As requested by the Staff, we have provided responses to the questions raised by the Staff. For your convenience, the summarized matters are listed below, followed by our responses:

 

Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1

Cover Page,

 

1.Where you discuss your status as a controlled company by Pride River following this offering here and throughout the prospectus, please also state that Pride River is 100% owned by Mr. Ngai Kwan, your Chief Executive Officer. Please also state here, as you do on page 13, that you do not intend to rely on controlled company exemptions under Nasdaq listing standards.

 

RESPONSE: We have revised and identified Mr. Ngai Kwan, our Chief Executive Officer, as the 100% shareholder of Pride River throughout the prospectus. We have also revised on page 15 to disclose that we intend to rely on the controlled company exemptions under Nasdaq listing standards.

 

2.We note your disclosure regarding how regulatory actions related to data security or antimonopoly concerns in Hong Kong affect your business. Please revise to also discuss applicable laws, as well as related risks and consequences relating to the enforceability of civil liabilities in Hong Kong, as well as China’s Enterprise Tax Law.

 

RESPONSE: We have revised Amended Draft Registration Statement No. 1 to disclose applicable laws and related risks relating to the enforceability of civil liabilities in Hong Kong on the cover page. To clarify, we do not have, nor do we currently intend to establish, any subsidiaries in Mainland China (as defined in the Amended Draft Registration Statement No. 1) or set up any establishment in Mainland China. Consequently, we and our subsidiaries are not subject to Enterprise Income Tax Law, Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement or any Mainland Chinese taxation law and regulations. These laws and regulations do not have any impact on our business, operations or this offering. We have deleted the above-mentioned disclosure in the Amended Draft Registration Statement No.1.

 

3.We note your disclosure regarding cash transfers throughout your organization. Where you discuss cash transfers, please provide cross-references to the consolidated financial statements.

 

RESPONSE: As of the date of this letter, Top Win Hong Kong has settled professional fee of approximately US$1.1 million on behalf of Top Win. Other than that, there has been no other cash transfer between entities within our group as of the date of this prospectus. We further advise the Staff that we have updated the disclosure on the Cover Page, pages 6 and 46.

 

With respect to the cross-referencing to the consolidated financial statements, we respectfully inform the Staff that any cash transfers between our Operating Subsidiary and the Company would have been eliminated in the consolidation process, and as a result, such transfers would not appear in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we believe that cross-referencing the consolidated financial statements in this instance would not be required.

Overview, page 3

 

4.Where you discuss your status as a Cayman Islands holding company with no material operations of its own, with a Hong Kong operating company, please disclose the uncertainties regarding this corporate structure.

 

RESPONSE: We have added a risk factor to disclose the uncertainties regarding our corporate structure on page 36 accordingly.

 

Prospectus Summary

Corporate Structure, page 4

 

6.Please revise here, and elsewhere as applicable, your organizational chart to show that Mr. Ngai owns 100% of the ownership interest in Pride River. Please also clearly indicate the entity in which investors are purchasing an interest.

 

RESPONSE: We have revised the organizational charts in the Amended Draft Registration Statement No. 1 to show that Mr. Ngai owns 100% of the ownership interest in Pride River. We have also revised the Amended Draft Registration Statement No. 1 to disclose that Top Win International Limited is the entity in which investors are purchasing an interest.

 

Risk Factors Summary, page 7

 

7.We note your summary of risk factors regarding the risks relating to doing business in Hong Kong. Please revise these risk factors to provide a cross reference to each individual detailed risk factor, including the specific page number.

Risk Factors, page 17

 

8.Please provide a risk factor to discuss your dependence on any particular client(s) and whether you have been able to historically retain your clients and attract new clients. To the extent that the loss of any particular client(s) would have a material impact on your results of operations, please disclose the client(s) and discuss your dependence on this client(s). Please include similar disclosure in the Business section and discuss the material terms of your agreements with such clients, if applicable. We note that your financial statements indicate that revenue from three of your customers accounted for 18%, 11%, and 11% of your total revenue in the last fiscal year, and that one customer accounted for 98% of the total balances of accounts receivables. Please also provide a risk factor discussing the risk of reliance on any particular vendor(s). We note that two of your vendors accounted for 64% and 14% of your total purchase, respectively in the last fiscal year.

 

RESPONSE: We have added risk factors discussing our reliance on major clients and vendors on page 20 accordingly. While we do not rely on any single client or vendor, the loss of one or more of our key clients or vendors could negatively and materially impact our financial condition and results of operations in the short term. However, given the nature of our business and our ability to secure new clients and vendors, we anticipate no long-term impact as we believe we can readily replace any lost relationships. We have also added a risk factor discussing the credit risks we may be exposed to relating to the accounts receivables.

 

We may incur liability or become subject to claims or penalties for counterfeit, infringing, illegal

or stolen products inadvertently sold., page 19

RESPONSE: We do not rely on information technology systems and have revised the disclosure to exclude such information.

RESPONSE: Our plan to expand our existing watch brand portfolio refers to the inclusion of new watch brands as part of our selection process with suppliers. As an industry practice for trading companies, we do not enter into long-term formal supply arrangements but instead operate on an order-by-order basis. This allows us to select the best offers from a variety of suppliers and provide our customers with the most competitive pricing. While we do not currently have long-term contracts, our approach ensures flexibility in sourcing and allows us to bring in additional watch brands as part of our expanding portfolio. At this time, we primarily focus on watch trading, with no other luxury products currently sold.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Description of Business

Reorganization, page F-7

 

21.We note your disclosure that Top Win, Grand Moon, and Top Win Hong Kong were under the complete ownership and control of Mr. Sit Hon before and after the Reorganization. This appears to be inconsistent with the disclosure on page F-26, which states Mr. Sit Yau Chiu was the controlling shareholder and director of Top Win Hong Kong. Please clarify and revise.

 

RESPONSE: Mr. Sit Yau Chiu was the former controlling shareholder of Top Win Hong Kong from June 15, 2001 to October 25, 2018, and former director of Top Win Hong Kong from June 15, 2001 to December 21, 2018. We further advise the Staff that we have updated the disclosure on page F-25 of Footnote14 - Related Party Transactions and Balances and page 90 of the Related Party Transactions section to clarify that Mr. Sit Yau Chiu was the former controlling shareholder and director of Top Win Hong Kong for the relevant period as stated herein.

 

General

 

22.Please provide us with supplemental copies of all written communications, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, that you, or anyone authorized to do so on your behalf, present to potential investors in reliance on Section 5(d) of the Securities Act, whether or not they retain copies of the communications.

 

RESPONSE: Neither the Company nor any anyone authorized by the Company has presented any written communications, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. To the extent that any such written communications are presented to potential investors, the Company will supplementally provide copies to the Staff.

 

23.We note your risk factor disclosure on page 17 that you believe the import and sale of parallel import goods is generally permitted under the laws and regulations of the primary jurisdictions in which you operate, subject to certain exceptions. Where appropriate, please revise the prospectus to disclose such exceptions, and what could potentially make your business subject to those exceptions.

 

RESPONSE: We have disclosed the exceptions under which the import and sale of parallel import goods may not be permitted, as referenced on page 20. While we maintain strict quality control procedures and are committed to upholding and enhancing the reputation of the watch brands we sell, our business could potentially be subject to these exceptions if we fail to properly inspect the watches for defects before selling to our customers. However, given our rigorous quality control processes and focus on brand integrity, we do not believe it is likely that our business would fall within these exceptions.

 

24.Please file as an exhibit to the registration statement an opinion and consent from Guangdong Wesley Law Firm, which we note you have disclosed is advising you on certain legal matters as to PRC.

 

RESPONSE: We note the Staff’s comment, and, in response hereto, respectfully advise the Staff that we do not have any subsidiaries, nor do we conduct any business operations in mainland China. As such, we believe the legal opinions from Guangdong Wesley Law Firm is not necessary. In addition, We will file the consent from Guangdong Wesley Law Firm as an exhibit upon public filing of the registration statement.

 

25.Throughout the prospectus, you disclose instances were a law firm has advised you on certain matters. These instances appear to be cases were you are relying on the opinion of counsel as an expert. As such, please revise these disclosures to characterize them as opinions of counsel.

 

RESPONSE: We note the Staff’s comment, and, in response hereto, respectfully advise the Staff that there is no formal opinion by a PRC counsel. The Company does not have any subsidiaries, nor do we conduct any business operations in mainland China. As such, we do not think a PRC legal opinion is necessary.
