Summary of OmniLit Financial Analysis, page 107
6.We note your revised disclosure in response to previous comment 34 and re-issue the
comment in part. Please expand on how the four companies in the Peer Group were
selected. For example, your disclosure notes that "the basis for which these companies
were selected included qualitative aspects that they demonstrated including a combination
of comparable products, end-markets served, and platforms, amongst other attributes."
Please expand on the specific attributes used to select the four entities in the Peer Group.
Additionally, please note if there were any entities considered for, but ultimately
excluded from Peer Group. Finally, we note your statement that "The median multiple of
the selected companies were then applied to Syntec Optics 2024 projected results to
determine the implied enterprise value for Syntec Optics." Please disclose the implied
enterprise value for Syntec Optics that resulted from this analysis.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations, page 124
7.We note your response to previous comment 35 and re-issue the comment in part. Please
remove the reference to "certain" material U.S. federal income tax considerations from the
introductory language. The use of such terms in either the heading or the introductory
language may suggest that the author of the opinion may be omitting a material tax
consequence. Additionally, the discussion of whether the Merger will qualify as a
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code appears limited to a
statement regarding the intended tax treatment and the consequences of the tax treatment.
Please revise the tax disclosure to express a conclusion for each material federal tax
consequence and the basis for such opinion. A description of the law does not satisfy the
requirement to provide an opinion on the material tax consequences of the transaction.
Finally, we note that the opinion states that the Merger “should” qualify as a

reorganization rather than that it “will” qualify. Please revise your disclosure or opinion to
explain why you cannot give a “will” opinion and to describe the degree of uncertainty in
the opinion. For guidance, refer to Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.
