Dear Carlos Sardinas:
We have limited our review of your filings to the financial statements and related
disclosures and have the following comments.
Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested

Amendment 1 to Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, page 58
1.We note that you have presented “Distribution to affiliate” as a reduction to APIC and
operating cash flows. We also noted similar presentations in your financial statements for
the period ended March 31, 2024. Please tell us the nature of these transactions and the
basis for your accounting treatments.
2.Please label each column of the restated financial statements as such on the face of
each respective financial statement.

Controls and Procedures, page 59
3.We note that you have removed the disclosures related to material weaknesses and revised
your conclusion regarding the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting
(ICFR) stating that it was effective as of December 31, 2023. Considering that you have
restated your financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 to correct
errors identified by your auditor, it is unclear how you concluded that your disclosure
controls and procedures (DCP) and ICFR were effective. Further, your Form 10-Q
disclosures stated that you have concluded that your DCP was not effective as of March
31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, while indicating that there was no material changes in your
ICFR since December 31, 2023. If management has determined that material weaknesses
existed in relation to the errors identified and therefore, ICFR and DCP are ineffective,
please amend your filing to disclose this information.
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business, page F-6
4.We note that you removed the disclosure regarding the substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, while the going concern paragraph
continues to be included in the audit report. Please revise to include the deleted disclosure
or explain why you do not believe such revision should be made. Refer to ASC 205-40-
50.
5.An Item 4.02 Form 8-K was required to be filed within four business days of concluding
that your previously issued financial statements as of and for the year ended December
31, 2023 should no longer be relied upon. Please file the required Item 4.02 Form 8- K.
Further, include details of any any subsequent 10-Q filings that are impacted as well, if
applicable. Refer to General Instruction B.1 and Item 4.02 of Form 8-K.

32.2 are dated April 16, 2024. Please include updated certifications that are dated as of the
date you file your amendment.

7.We note that the net loss balance for the period ended March 31, 2024 does not agree with
the balance in your financial statements included in the Form 10-Q for the period ended
March 31, 2024. We also note that ($1,019,687), previously presented as “Distribution to
affiliate”, is not included here. Please revise your disclosures to explain and quantify the
revisions you made to the financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2024 and
file an amended Form 10-Q/A, if the changes are material.

8.We note your disclosure regarding the restatement of Q2 2023 and that your system of
