1. “Notes payable” reflected in the table herein appears to include both “convertibl e promissory notes” and “convertible debt” on the balance sheet. Therefore, the conversion of convertible promissory notes into OID convertible notes does not appear to increase Notes payable. If this is correct, please revise your pro forma disclosure, (ii).

2. Please tell us where you disclose the terms of $1,859,000 OID convertible debt that were issued subsequent to March 31, 2016.
