Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed November 12 , 2013 File No. 333-191648 Dear Mr. Ali: We have reviewed your letter dated November 12, 2013 and the above -referenced filing and have the follow ing comments. R eference s to prior comments are to those in our letter dated November 5 , 2013 . General 1. Update the financial statements pursuant to Rule 8 -03 of Regulation S -X. 2. We acknowledge your response to prior comment 1; however, we again note that you appear to be registering the shares underlying t he underwriter warrants but not the warrants themselves. Please revise or advise. Prospectus Summary The Company Overview, page 4 3. We note your response to prior comment 7. Tell us why you believe it is appropriate to combine an immaterial reportable operating segment with a material repo rtable operating segment. We refer you to ASC 280 -10-50-13. Identify the accounting lit erature th at supports your presentation. 4. We note that you have made certain revisions to your disclosure in response to prior comment 8. Please clarify the frequency of Lilien’s long -term contract invoices and the frequency of customer payments for the portion of Lilien’s customers with contracts ranging from one to five years. In this regard, you state that “revenues are typically Nadir Ali Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. November 27, 2013 Page 2 driven by purchase orders that are captured every month.” Risk factor disclosure on page 17 describes Lilien’s lack of “fo rmal written agreements with many of [y]our clients” and for those with whom Lilien has “such agreements [they] do not generally restrict [your] clients from terminating or deciding not to renew… or from cancelling.” Please explain this apparent discrepancy. Management and Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Critical Accounting Policies, page 32 5. We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 13. Please tell us what consideration you have given to including accounting for Business Combinations within your critical accounting policies. Stock -Based Compensation, page 39 6. We note that you have revised your disclosures related to accounting for stock -based compensation and have included a paragraph at the end of your discussion related to the valuation of your common stock. Please revise to present a more thorough discussion of the significant factors, assumptions and methodologies used in estimating the fair value of your common stock. At a minimum, revise your disclosures to include a narrative discussion of the following: Explain what consideration was given to the prices at which your shares had traded and the reasons for the difference in such values and those computed by management. For each va luation date, clearly identify the valuation models employed, the reasons for the selection of each method and the variables (e.g., weighted average cost of capital, marketability discount and other adjustments) used in your models. Where more than one method was used, disclose the weighting of each measure and the method by which the values were allocated (e.g., PWERM). Discuss the factors that contributed to the difference between the fair values at each valuation date and between the most recent valua tion and the midpoint of your expected offering price range. Continue to update these disclosures in each pre -effective amendment. Business Pending Letter of Interest, page 54 7. We are continuing to evaluate your response to prior comment 15, as well as your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 18. Your response that the acquisition is not yet probable notwithstanding, we are unable to fully evaluate your response until you have provided us with an estimate of the significance of this potenti al acquisition based on the Nadir Ali Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. November 27, 2013 Page 3 significance computations set forth in Rule 1 -02(w). Clarify the status of your negotiation s with the Target company and identify the remaining terms that are open. You state that you will “simultaneously sign a definitive agr eement and complete the acquisition” prior to the effective date of your Prospectus. This statement suggests that remaining terms are not significant. Further, w e note that you make reference within MD&A to revenue, net income contributions, and growth r ates that appear to imply that the acquisition is probable. If not probable, tell us why you believe including this information here and elsewhere in your filing is appropriate if the acquisition is not probable. Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions, page 70 8. We note your response to prior comment 19. It still appears, however, that you do not discuss in this sectio n the amounts you owe to a business partner in connection with the non-interest cash advance you received in 2009, as described in Note 7 to Sysorex Global Holdings’ consolidated financial statements. Please revise or advise. Sysorex Global Holdings, Corp. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 3 – Revenue Recognition, page F -8 9. We are continuing to evaluate your response to prior comment 23. We note your statement that “ the parties to the contract include Lilien, [y]our customer and the third - party service provider .” Indicate whether you have separate contracts with each party. Indicate whether your customer has a contract directly with the third -party service provider (“Provider”). Tell us whether the Provider is the manufactu rer of the hardware or software sold to your customers. Further, tell us whether you have refunded amounts to customers who were either dissatisfied with services provided or had unused maintenance. In these cases, confirm that you did not have any remed y for relief from the Provider. Note 4 – Business Combin ation, page F -10 10. We note your response to prior comment 26 . It remains unclear to us why Lilien would not be deemed to be a predecessor of the registrant. In this regard, we note that Lilien appe ars to be significantly larger than the registrant’s historical operations. Please address the following: Tell us why the factors you cite in your prior response should be considered in an analysis of whether an entity is a predecessor of the registrant i n light of the definition of a predecessor specified in Rule 405 of Regulation C (“Rule 405”). In this regard, Rule 405 appears to focus on relative size rather than the types of factors you discuss in your response. Nadir Ali Sysorex Global Holdings Corp. November 27, 2013 Page 4 Describe to us how you considered comp aring the registrant to Lilien on other quantitative metrics (e.g. gross profit, Adjusted EBITDA, etc.) in your analysis of Rule 405, and clarify how those metrics informed your conclusion. Explain how you considered whether investors can make a fully info rmed investment decision absent the additional information (e.g. MD&A of Lilien’s historical operations, etc.) that would be provided if Lilien were to be deemed a predecessor of the registrant. Note 20. Subsequent Events Acquisition of Shoom, Inc., pag e 19 11. We note your reference to total assets of approximately $29.3 million on a pro forma basis as of December 31, 2012. Tell us why you believe you can assess significance based on pro forma total assets pursuant to Rule 3 -05(b) (3) of Regulation S -X. That Rule applies to circumstance s where a registrant had filed a report on Form 8 -K or a non - IPO registration statement which included audited financial statements of such acquired business for the periods required by this Rule and the pro forma financial information required by Article 11 . In this regard, since this Rule does not appear applicable to you, tell us whether you are determining significances in accordance with SAB Topic 1(J). If so, please provide an analysis based on SAB 80. Exhibits 12.
