Filed October 28, 2022
File No. 333-250027
Dear Joseph W. Turner:
We have reviewed your post-effective amendment and have the following comments. In
some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better
understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments.
Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
General
1.This post-effective amendment was filed in part to update the financial information in
your registration statement on Form S-1, which last contained audited financial statements
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Under Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of 1933, "when a prospectus is used more than nine months after the effective date of the
registration statement, the [audited financial] information contained therein shall be as of a
date not more than sixteen months prior to such use." Please tell us whether you engaged
in any offers or sales of your securities using the prospectus after October 8, 2021.
2.Please revise this post-effective amendment to include the information required
by Part II of Form S-1.

3.We note your disclosure in the Explanatory Note that one purpose of this post-effective
amendment is to "permit the spread adjustment used to determine the interest rate for a
Fixed or Variable Debt Certificate to be adjusted by up to 250 basis points when rapid
changes in interest rates or market changes occur." We also note that in your earlier
disclosure in the question and answer section on page 4 of the registration statement on
Form S-1 filed on January 8, 2021 (file No. 333-250027) and in your response to our
comment regarding such disclosure, you undertook to keep any interest rate changes to a
narrower specified range (within 200 basis points for the Fixed Spread and 100 basis
points for the Variable Spread Grid). Because you previously stated interest rate changes
would be limited to a certain range but now increased that range, disclose whether there is
a limit to the amount or number of times you plan to increase or decrease rates. Please
also provide us with your legal analysis of whether the offering will be a delayed offering
under Rule 415 of the Securities Act. We note that it appears you are not eligible to
conduct a delayed offering pursuant to Rule 415.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
Please contact Robert Arzonetti at 202-551-8819 or Tonya K. Aldave at 202-551-3601
with any other questions.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
