Revise to specifically identify each director that is independent under the independence standards applicable to you. Refer to Item 407(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.

11. We reissue comment 23 as you did not appear to address it. Where you state that “a majority of the consulting services were performed by management and members of the Board of Directors with no separate compensation due or payable to these individuals,” describe if and how you measure and allocate their labor to the cost of revenues.

Response: We revised the note to provide greater clarity regarding allocation of consulting services and have notated that in this case it has been deemed as immaterial.
