In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. Please respond to this letter by amending your offering statement and providing the requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your offering statement and the information you provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments.

Therefore, please amend Item 4. of Part I of your Form 1-A to state that you are seeking to qualify the warrants.
