Overview, page 85
1.Please expand your discussion here to reflect the fact that this offering involves the sale of
a substantial portion of shares for resale and discuss how such sales could impact the
market price of the company's common stock.
2.We note that the projected revenues for Q2-Q4 2022 were $784,250, as set forth in the
unaudited prospective financial information Cardio’s management team prepared and
provided to MANA in connection with the evaluation of the Business Combination. We

have revenue in Q4 2022. Please update your disclosure in Liquidity and Capital
Resources, and elsewhere, to provide updated information about the company’s financial
position and further risks to the business operations and liquidity in light of these
circumstances or otherwise advise.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 89
3.In light of the significant number of redemptions and the unlikelihood that the company
will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants because of the disparity
between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading price of the common
stock, please expand your discussion of capital resources to address any changes in the
company’s liquidity position since the Business Combination. If the company is likely to
have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on the company’s ability
to raise additional capital.
General
4.We note the disclosure on the cover page of the likelihood that warrant holders will not
exercise their warrants because the warrants are out the money. Provide similar disclosure
in your risk factor section and disclose that cash proceeds associated with the exercises of
the warrants are dependent on the stock price.
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
statement.
Please contact Cindy Polynice at 202-551-8707 or Jason Drory at 202-551-8342 with any
other questions.
