Cover Page
1. We note that you are offering up to 1,450,000 shares of your common stock for resale by White Lion
Capital, compared to the 2,500,000 shares that you initially registered pursuant to this registration statement, which was declared effective
on February 1, 2024. We also note your disclosure on page 63 that "[you] are filing this registration statement to register for resale
additional shares of [y]our common stock as [you] have already sold all shares covered by the Initial Registration Statement." Please
clarify whether you are registering additional shares of your common stock, and if so, file a new registration statement to register the
additional shares or provide us with your analysis as to why you are eligible to register the additional shares on this post-effective
amendment. If you are not registering additional shares of your common stock, please revise your disclosures, including on page 63, to
disclose that you are not registering additional securities and to note the number of shares of your common stock that have been sold
pursuant to this registration statement, and in connection with the White Lion equity line agreement.
The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 17 and 63 to clarify that the Post-Effective
Amendment No. 1 does not register additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company further revised the disclosure to
provide the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and
the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that have been sold under the Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2023,
with White Lion Capital, LLC.
