Dear Mr. Shuman:
This letter responds on behalf of the Company
to your comment letter dated March 9, 2016, with respect to above-referenced filing made by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). To facilitate your review, we have included in this letter your original comments
(in bold) followed by our responses.
General
1. Schedule
A, paragraph 16 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation S-K require
that you disclose the price at which the securities will be sold. Given the lack of an
established market for your securities, please disclose the fixed price at which the
selling shareholders will sell the shares covered by the prospectus. We will not object
if you state that the securities will be sold at the disclosed fixed price until your
shares are listed on a recognized inter-dealer quotation system (e.g., the OTC Bulletin
Board) and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Please
make corresponding changes throughout the prospectus.
RESPONSE: We have updated the filing to reflect the fixed
price of $0.28 per share, at which price the selling shareholders will sell the shares covered by the prospectus. We also
have included a statement indicating that the selling shareholders may begin to sell the shares covered by the prospectus at
prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices at such time as the Company is listed on a recognized inter-dealer
quotation system.

8. By
footnote or otherwise, please clarify how the table accounts for the shares of common
stock underlying the Series A and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. In this regard,
we note that each share of preferred stock is entitled to two and one-half votes per
share. We also note that the total number of common shares beneficially owned by Mr.
Mills does not account for the additional voting rights of the preferred shares that
he owns.
RESPONSE: The Series A and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock
votes on an as-converted basis. Holders of Series A and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock may convert their preferred shares
into common shares at a conversion rate of $0.255 per share, subject, however, to full-ratchet price protection in the event
that the Company issues common stock below the then-current conversion price.
We have revised the filing to add footnotes indicating the beneficial
ownership (on an as-converted basis) of preferred stock, if any, of each entity or person included in the beneficial ownership
table. In addition, we have removed the statement that each share of preferred stock is entitled to two and one-half votes per
share.
