Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to
Registration Statement on Form F-2
SEC File No. 333-32524
Dear Mr. Duvall:
On behalf of Bonso Electronics International Inc. (the "Company"), we are
filing herewith under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act")
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form
F-2. The Company's Registration Statement on Form F-2 that was declared
effective by the Commission on May 31, 2000. The Post-Effective Amendment is
being filed to update Registration Statement. The registration fee relating to
the Post-Effective Amendment and the securities included therein was previously
paid.
The filing has been updated to incorporate by reference the Company's Form
20-F that includes the audited financial statements for the year ended March 31,
2000, and certain other minor changes. I note that the Company is profitable,
and that its Common Stock is traded on the NASDAQ National Market System.
In light of the Company's long history of profitability, the fact that the
Registration Statement is an F-2, involving the exercise of Warrants previously
registered and the sale of shares of Common Stock by two selling shareholders, I
would like to request your assistance in having the Post-Effective Amendment to
the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as possible. If you have
any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Sincerely,
SCHLUETER & ASSOCIATES, P.C.
