revise your beneficial ownership table to identify the natural person or persons who have
voting and dispositive control over the shares held by the Nicholson Family Trust. Refer
to Item 403 of Regulation S-K.
OneMeta
Response:
The
Nicholson Family Trust was created by Richard and Kim Nicholson. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson were the victims of a homicide in 2019. Since
the date of their deaths, we have been unable to ascertain information regarding the ownership of their trust. Accordingly, we are unable
to revise the beneficial ownership table to identify the natural person or persons who have voting and dispositive control over the shares
held by the Nicholson Family Trust. We have revised the beneficial ownership table to include a statement disclosing this information.

Item

7. Please
disclose in a tabular format the executive compensation of your executive officers and directors
for the last two fiscal years. See Item 402 of Regulation S-K. Also, we note your disclosure
that “[t]he Company does not compensate directors through bonuses, stock awards, option
awards, nonequity incentive plans, nonqualified deferred compensation earnings, or other
compensation.” Please reconcile this with your disclosure on p. F-12 that “[o]n
May 2, 2023, the Board approved the issuance of 1,582,437 shares of Series B-1 Convertible
preferred stock and 1,772,800 shares of common stock to the Company’s CEO, Saul Leal,
as bonus shares that were expensed in May 2023.”
OneMeta
Response:
We
have revised Item 6. Executive Compensation of Amendment No. 1 to disclose the executive compensation of our executive officers for the
last two fiscal years in tabular format. Regarding the disclosure on p. F-12, the footnote has been revised to remove the word “bonus”,
as the referenced shares were issued in connection with an addendum to the Share Acquisition Agreement, rather than as a bonus. The statement
that “[t]he Company does not compensate directors through bonuses, stock awards, option awards, nonequity incentive plans, nonqualified
deferred compensation earnings, or other compensation” is accurate.

Statement

10. Tell
us how you determined it was appropriate to value your Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Shares
at $0.70798 per share, its redemption value, as it appears as though you were unable to fund
redemption on those terms during the reporting periods presented.
OneMeta
Response:
The
redemption value has been calculated in accordance with the relevant accounting standards, factoring in the redemption rights of the
holder and without consideration of the Company’s ability to redeem those shares (as the redemption rights were unexercised). The
shares are and redemption are not contingent on a future event and represented an obligation of the Company. While the Company might
not have the funds to pay it much like a similar debt obligation the liability and future economic sacrifice existed as of the balance
sheet date and therefore the obligation is recorded at the value the Company would owe.
