Risks Related to this Offering and Our Securities
There is no guarantee of a return on an Investor's investment., page 9
1.We note your revised disclosure and response pursuant to comment 1 and reissue in

2.Please reconcile the revenue and net operating income for the four Death & Co
branded locations to your consolidated results and revise your disclosure to define
what net operating income represents.
Results of Operations, page 31
3.We note your response to prior comment 5. You disclose revenue grew by 19.6% in
Fiscal 2023 from Fiscal 2022. However, bar and restaurant operations revenue appear
to have increased by 16.98% in Fiscal 2023. Similarly, the alcohol and food and n/a
beverage cost increases from 2022 and the alcohol and food and n/a beverage costs as
a percentage of total sales for Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 do not appear accurate. For
example, you state the food and n/a beverage costs for Fiscal 2023 constituted 33.42%
of total sales, compared to 32.83% in Fiscal 2022. However based on the table of Cost
of Goods Sold provided, the food and n/a beverage costs are 6.38% of total sales in
Fiscal 2023, compared to 6.08% in fiscal 2022. Please explain or revise.
General
4.Please update your financial statements and related financial disclosures. Refer to
guidance in Part F/S in Form 1-A.
5.We note your response to comment 15. In this regard, your response indicates that
“invest.deathandcompany.com” is not a page relating to this Regulation A offering
and yet disclosure on pages 15 and 16 of your offering circular directs investors to the
www.invest.deathandcompany.com website. Also, your response indicates that this
web-site was used in connection with a Regulation Crowdfunding Offering that is
now closed and suggests that the information is not directed to Regulation A
investors, however, the web-site is accessible to all investors without limitation.
Please update your website to revise or remove the information that is inaccurate or
inconsistent with your offering circular or tell us why you believe such revisions are
unnecessary.
Please contact Nasreen Mohammed at 202-551-3773 or Joel Parker at 202-551-3651

matters. Please contact Jenna Hough at 202-551-3063 or Mara Ransom at 202-551-3264 with
