2.We note your disclosure that all of your Warrants are out of the money and that the
holders of such Warrants are not likely to exercise their Warrants. To the extent it is
unlikely that the Warrant holders would exercise their Warrants, describe the impact on
your liquidity and update to discuss your ability to fund your operations on a prospective
basis with your current cash on hand. Provide similar disclosure in the "Liquidity and
Capital Resources" section starting on page 128.
Risk Factors

Cero
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 128
4.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, 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.
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 Tamika Sheppard at 202-551-8346 or Tim Buchmiller at 202-551-3635
