Form 10-K for the Year Ended
March 31, 2024 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page 24
1. We note the report of your independent registered public accounting firm
refers to the financial position of the company as of March 31, 2024 and 2021. The report also refers to the results of the company's
operations and cash flows for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 rather than referring to each of the years in the two-year period ended
March 31, 2024. Please amend your Form 10-K and have your auditors reissue their report with references to the appropriate financial statements.
Response:
The Company has amended the Form
10-K to include the updated auditor's report. The amendment to the 10-K was filed with the SEC on January 21, 2025.
Exhibits
2. Please ensure that your amended Form 10-K includes Section 302 certifications
signed by the principal executive and principal financial officers of the company. In this regard, Exhibit 31.1 was signed by Vitalis
Racius as Chief Executive Officer, however, the Form 10-K and Exhibit 32.1 appear to identify William Hisey as the
Chief
Executive Officer and Vitalis Racius as the Chief Financial Officer. In addition, the identification of the certifying individual at the
beginning of the certification should be revised so as not to include the individual’s title. Refer to Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation
S-K and Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(a).
Response:
The Company
has amended the Exhibits Section 302 certifications in the Form 10-K. Exhibit 31.1, the Certification of the Chief Executive Officer,
has been added to the 10-K and signed by our current CEO, Mr. Winter. Exhibit 31.2, the Certification of the Chief Financial Officer,
has been updated and signed by Mr. Racius. Also, the individual titles in the certifications were removed in accordance with Item 601(b)(31)
of Regulation S-K and Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(a).
Form 10-Q for the Quarter
Ended September 30, 2024 Exhibits
3. We note the certifications included in Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 do not include
paragraph 4(b) referring to the design of internal control over financial reporting. Please amend your Form 10-Q to include certifications
containing the language precisely as set forth in Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation S-K. This comment also applies to the Form 10-Q filed
for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024.
Response:
The Company
has amended Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 in the Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, and has included the
paragraph 4(b) in the certifications. The Company has incorporated the language exactly as specified in Item 601(b)(31) of Regulation
S-K. The amendment to the 10-Q ended June 30, 2024, was filed with the SEC on January 21, 2025, and the amendment No. 2 to the 10-Q ended
September 30, 2024, was filed with the SEC on January 21, 2025.
