Please explain why you have not yet received the funds for certain of the notes and clarify whether the lenders have a contractual obligation to provide such funds and if so, by when.

The Company also advises the Staff that, |
| (1) | On June 20, 2024, Helport (the “Borrower”) amended and restated a previously issued convertible promissory note of $2,000,000 issued on May 15, 2024 (the “Original Note”) to one lender named Shanling Ge (“Lender”), pursuant to which, by mutual consent, the Borrower and the Lender agree to amend and restate the Original Note and to replace the Original Note with a note with a total amount of $850,000, with all the other terms previously stipulated in the Original Note remaining the same (“Amended and Restated Note”). |

|
| (2) | As of June 20, 2024, the Company has received all the funds of $4,889,074 from the issuance of convertible promissory notes subject to the Notes and the Amended and Restated Note. Correspondingly, the receipt of such funds is reflected in the adjustment of automatically conversion into Pubco Ordinary Shares at a price of $10.80 per share upon consummation of the Business Combination. |
