whether Abacus or any of its officers, directors or other affiliates, have an ownership
interest or credit relationship in Lapetus or its subsidiaries or other affiliates. Please

or sale of life insurance policies of third parties, and state whether you are in
compliance with any such laws.

3.We note your risk factor disclosure on page 20 of your Annual Report that you are
reliant on your management and on page 24 of your Annual Report that your
executive officers have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded
company. We also note that National Insurance Brokerage operates at an address in
the same office park as Abacus. We note that the Florida Secretary of State lists Scott
Kirby, Matthew Ganovsky, and Sean McNealy as officers of National Insurance
Brokerage. Please revise your disclosure to discuss the extent to which you purchase
insurance contracts from National Insurance Brokerage. Also, consider appropriate
revisions to your risk factors to discuss the risks that management's other business
interests may interfere with their focus on managing your business.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence
of action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
