Staff comment: Please revise to disclose the segment measure of profitability used by the CODM and how the CODM uses such measure in allocating resources and assessing performance. Note that for a single reportable segment entity we would generally expect that net income is the required measure. In addition, disclose the significant expense categories that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in the reported segment profit or loss, and any other segment items. Refer to ASC 280-10-50-22, 50- 26A,50-26B and 50-29(f) (and the example in ASC 280-10-55-54(c)).

Staff comment: Please revise to disclose your accounting policy for VAT and which financial statement line items are impacted by VAT. Also, you disclose that $3,452,729 of sales VAT invoices were unissued as of December 31, 2024. Please revise to clarify whether this represents the amount of sales that were not invoiced or the amount of sales for which VAT invoices were not issued. In this regard, it is unclear whether the VAT process impacts the amount of revenue recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Lastly, you disclose that the VAT rules are imposed by local authorities on newly established companies. Please explain why you qualify as a newly established company.
letter → Company response: The Company proposes to revise Footnote 14(c) in future filings and add a VAT policy disclosure to Footnote 2 in future filings as follows: Unissued VAT Invoices Sales of the Company's products in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") are subject to value-added tax ("VAT") at a rate of 6% of the gross sales price or at a rate approved by local tax authorities. The Company accounts for VAT on a net basis, and amounts collected on behalf of tax authorities are excluded from revenue. Output VAT may be offset by VAT paid on purchase of raw materials included in the cost of producing the finished goods sold. VAT payable is recorded in accrued liabilities, and VAT recoverable on qualifying…

Staff comment: We note your disclosure on page 23 that the Gongfa Materials (Guangdong) New Materials Technology Co., Limited ("Gongfa") transaction was structured under a VIE framework, with common control established through the power and economic interests of Mr. Li Jiyong. Revise to disclose the terms of the contractual agreements that give the company power and economics over the VIE.
letter → Company response: The Company respectfully advises the Staff that after further review of the Form 10-Q, the Company has concluded the Gongfa transaction does not involve a variable interest entity (VIE). The reference in the Form 10-Q to a "VIE framework" was a mis-description. The Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Gongfa through Kuber Guangdong, and Gongfa became a wholly owned subsidiary of Kuber Guangdong. Accordingly, the Company proposes to remove all references to the "VIE framework" and any related VIE implications from its future filings, including in Note 1 and Note 11. Because the Company does not consolidate Gongfa through contractual arrangements intended to…
