revise your registration statement to clearly identify the securities that are being offered. In this regard, we note that the heading

refers to warrants. Revise to clarify whether you are registering the warrants and/or the shares underlying such warrants.
Response:
The Amended Registration has been revised in accordance with the comments of the Staff on pages 2, 10 and 29 and exhibit 107. The
Company is not registering warrants and that discrepancy has been amended.
