  File No. 333-265730

 

Dear Ms. Rivera and Messrs Lopez, Demarest and Esquivel,

 

On behalf of our client, WANG & LEE GROUP Inc. (the “Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the Staff’s letter dated January 4, 2023. Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is submitting its revised registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Revised Registration Statement”) and the related exhibits via EDGAR to the Commission.

 

The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Revised Registration Statement where the language addressing a particular comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement.

Amendment No. 7 to Form F-1 filed December 22, 2022

Index to Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-1

 

1. Please update your financial statements and related disclosures throughout your registration statement as required by Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F or provide the appropriate representations in an exhibit in accordance with Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4.

 

Response:

 

The Company has included in the Registration Statement its audited consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

The Company respectfully requests that the Commission waive the requirement of Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, which states that in the case of a company’s initial public offering, the registration statement on Form F-1 must contain audited financial statements of a date not older than 12 months from the date of the offering (the “12-Month Requirement”). See also Division of Corporation Finance, Financial Reporting Manual, Section 6220.3.

 

The Company is submitting this waiver request pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F, which provides that the Commission will waive the 12-Month Requirement “in cases where the company is able to represent adequately to us that it is not required to comply with this requirement in any other jurisdiction outside the United States and that complying with this requirement is impracticable or involves undue hardship.” See also the 2004 release entitled International Reporting and Disclosure Issues in the Division of Corporation Finance (available on the Commission’s website at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/internatl/cfirdissues1104.htm) by the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission (the “Staff”) at Section III.B.c, in which the Staff notes that:

 

“the instruction indicates that the staff will waive the 12-month requirement where it is not applicable in the registrant’s other filing jurisdictions and is impracticable or involves undue hardship. As a result, we expect that the vast majority of IPOs will be subject only to the 15-month rule. The only times that we anticipate audited financial statements will be filed under the 12-month rule are when the registrant must comply with the rule in another jurisdiction, or when those audited financial statements are otherwise readily available.”

 

In connection with this waiver request, the Company represents to the Commission that:

 

1. The Company is not currently a public reporting company in any jurisdiction.

 

2. The Company is not required by any jurisdiction outside the United States to prepare consolidated financial statements audited under any generally accepted auditing standards for any interim period.

 

3. Full compliance with Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F at present is impracticable and involves undue hardship for the Company.

 

4. The Company does not anticipate that its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 will be available until early April 2023.

 

5. In no event will the Company seek effectiveness of the Registration Statement if its audited financial statements are older than 15 months at the time of the Company’s initial public offering.

 

The Company is filing this letter as exhibit 99.10 to the Registration Statement pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 8.A.4 of Form 20-F.

  Very truly yours,
