3837 staff comments in this corpus, to 661 registrants, across 13 of the 15 calendar quarters this corpus covers.
Coverage is partial and not continuous. This corpus holds CORRESP filings from 2023Q1–2026Q3 (83–100% of each quarter's EDGAR total). It holds nothing filed after 2026-07-17. If an issue page shows no comment from one of those periods, the reason is that edgarwiki has no data for it — not that the staff raised nothing. Counts on this site are counts within this corpus and are not SEC-wide totals. Every quotation is verbatim and links to its filing; what is incomplete is coverage, not accuracy.

8. You disclose that the acquisition of Gongfa was accounted for as a business combination of entities under common control. Please describe, in detail, the relationship between and ownership in the entities involved in the transaction prior to and after the acquisition of Gongfa that supports the common control determination for accounting purposes. Refer to ASC 805-50-15-6. In addition, you disclose that "the transaction was structured under a VIE framework, with common control established through the power and economic interests of Mr. Li Jiyong." Please provide us with an analysis explaining which entities are VIEs and how you concluded that the acquisition of the VIE met the criteria for a common control transaction. Refer to the specific authoritative guidance you considered in your accounting for these transactions.
The company responded
The Company acknowledges the Staff's comment. As noted above, the reference to a "VIE framework" was a mis-description, and the Company proposes to delete that language from its future filings. The Company is preparing an expanded ownership and relationship analysis describing the parties' ownership and relationships before and after the acquisition, and will revise Note 11 accordingly in its future filings. With respect to the accounting conclusion regarding common control under ASC 805-50-15-6, the Company is evaluating its accounting analysis and the related disclosure to ensure it reflects the definitive transaction documents and the applicable authoritative guidance. In the Company's future filings, the Company will (i) provide the expanded ownership and relationship disclosure requested by the Staff, and (ii) conform the description of the transaction and the accounting conclusion…

The trust account termination letter attached as Exhibit A to the Investment Management Trust Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.2 states that “counsel for the Company shall deliver to you written notification that the Business Combination has been consummated, or will be consummated substantially, concurrently with your transfer of funds to the accounts as directed by the Company . . . .” Nasdaq Listing Rule IM-5101-2(a) states that “[a]t least 90% of the gross proceeds . . . must be deposited in a trust account maintained by an independent trustee.” It is unclear how the release of funds earlier than the consummation of the initial business combination would comport with this listing standard.

2. We understand that Fleet Complete previously accounted for bundled hardware and service offerings as a single performance obligation and recognized revenue over time. We also understand that, following your acquisition of Fleet Complete, hardware is now a separate performance obligation that is satisfied at a point in time. Please more fully address the following: ● Given the differences you noted between Canadian Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises and U.S. GAAP regarding revenue recognition, explain if and how you accounted for hardware deliveries made prior to the acquisition of Fleet Complete in your purchase price allocation and address how your valuation and accounting complied with U.S. GAAP; ● Explain if and how you are accounting for hardware deliveries made prior to the acquisition of Fleet Complete in your historical financial statements and address how your…
The company responded
The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff as follows: Accounting for Pre-Acquisition Hardware Deliveries in Purchase Price Allocation Under U.S. GAAP, consistent with ASC 606, hardware and subscription services are identified as separate performance obligations. Hardware revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the hardware transfers to the customer, while revenue related to subscription services is recognized over time as the services are provided. Accordingly, under U.S. GAAP, hardware revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, with a related contract asset, rather than deferring revenue over a period. The Company accounted for hardware sales made by Fleet Complete prior to the acquisition date in the purchase price allocation under ASC 805. Specifically, hardware deliveries made by Fleet Complete prior to…

Lastly, please revise the table to reflect that in addition to the sponsor, an affiliate of the sponsor may be paid a salary or fee in an amount that constitutes a market standard for comparable transactions in connection with the business combination. See Items 1602(a)(3), 1602(b)(6) and 1603(a)(6) of Regulation S-K.

4. We note your disclosure regarding your agreement with the underwriter to obtain an opinion from “an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that [y]our initial business combination is fair to [y]our company from a financial point of view” if you pursue a business combination with a company that is affiliated with your initial shareholders, officers or directors, or make the acquisition through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with your sponsor, officers or directors. Please revise your disclosure throughout your filing to ensure that such disclosure is consistent with the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Please revise to clarify the meaning of your added disclosure on pages 24-25, which appears to suggest that PRC laws or regulations governing cash flows associated with the business combination, including shareholder redemption rights, will not apply if you are able to consummate an initial business combination with a non-PRC target company—and inversely that such laws or regulations will apply if you consummate an initial business combination with a PRC target company. In this regard, we note your disclosure on page 24 that you do not intend to enter into a business combination with a PRC target company.

5. The table shows deferred underwriting fees as part of your “as-adjusted” capitalization. Our understanding from page 101 is that these fees are payable contingent on the completion of your initial business combination and that these fees would be charged to equity under your policy for deferred costs on page F-9. Please tell us why the fees are considered part of your “as-adjusted” capitalization but the offsetting amount does not appear charged to shareholder’s equity in this table.
The company responded
The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the deferred underwriting fees presented in the capitalization table represent the liability that will be incurred as of the date of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement, which is due upon the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The offsetting amount is in fact charged to equity and is included in the total accumulated deficit amount since for accounting purposes the Company is not allowed to show negative additional paid in capital, therefore the reclassified amount to accumulated deficit represents all costs related to the closing of the offering.
