Dear Mr. Cothill :

We have reviewed your filing 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.

After reviewing your response and any amendment you may file in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless we note otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our August 12, 2016 letter.

Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status, page 3

1. We note your response to our prior comment one. SEC Release No. 33 -8587 (“Release”) defines a “shell company” as a registrant with no or nominal operations and either no or nominal assets, assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents, or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. The Release intentionally does not define the term “nominal” because the term embodies the application of a principal that is not inappropriately vague or ambiguous. Despite the activities you describe such as diligently pursuing plans of operati ons, we are unable to agree with your conclusion that you were not previously deemed to be a shell company. Please disclose here that you were previously deemed a shell company as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act.
