The Company is concurrently filing via EDGAR Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 1”). For the convenience of the Staff, we are supplementally providing blacklined copies, complete with exhibits, of Amendment No. 1, marked to show changes from the Registration Statement.
In this letter, we have recited the comments from the Staff in italicized type and have followed each comment with the Company’s response.

Management
Conflicts of Interest, page 107
1. We note your statement on page 108 that your management team is not currently involved in any other blank check offerings. However, it appears that Mr. Carrera is currently associated with Andina Acquisition Corp. II, a blank check company that recently announced it has entered a definitive agreement to acquire an operating company. You also disclose elsewhere in the registration statement that Mr. Weil, Mr. Silvers, and Mr. Peng have provided consulting services to Andina II in connection with its contemplated business combination. Therefore, please review your disclosure to fully encompass your management team’s involvement in other blank check offerings, including those offerings that have not yet closed.
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has supplemented the disclosure on page 108 of Amendment No. 1.
Signatures, page II-7
2. Please indicate who will be signing in the capacity of principal accounting officer or controller. Refer to Instruction 1 to the Signatures section on Form S-1.
