In this letter, we respond to the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) contained in the Staff’s letter dated June 24, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”).

Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-4

General

1. We note your response to comment 1 and reissue the comment. Please provide the information requested in our comment, or revise to clarify the reasonable basis on which you have determined that the reverse stock split will not be necessary. We note that Vaso’s historical trading quotes and volume do not appear to support your determination. Revise the Q&A on pages 30-31 to provide a more complete view of the history of Vaso’s share price. Please also revise the references to Vaso’s common stock as “historically volatile” to clarify your meaning of this term and your frame of reference.

We have revised the disclosure in Amendment No. 6 to (i) clarify the assumptions as to why we have assumed that the Reverse Stock Split may not be necessary, (ii) provide additional information regarding the history of Vaso’s share price and (iii) to clarify the meaning of “historical volatility” and to give examples of the same.

Fairness Opinion of River Corporate, page 217

2. We note your response to comment 6 and reissue the comment. As Achari received the fairness opinion from River Corporate and it is included in this document, please revise to provide all information required by Item 1015(b) of Regulation M-A. Refer to Item 4(b) of Form S-4 and Item 14(a)(6) of Schedule 14A.

We have revised the disclosure in the section of Amendment No. 6 entitled “Fairness Opinion of River Corporate provided to the Vaso Board of Directors” to provide the additional information required by Item 1015(b) of Regulation M-A.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Please contact the undersigned or Achari’s counsel with any questions or further comments.
