disclose the number of DISAs sold in 2020 and 2021.

Risk Factors, page 11
7.We note recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines
and stock price volatility seemingly unrelated to company performance following a
number of recent initial public offerings, particularly among companies with relatively
smaller public floats. Revise to include a separate risk factor addressing the potential for
rapid and substantial price volatility and any known factors particular to your offering that
may add to this risk and discuss the risks to investors when investing in stock where the
price is changing rapidly. Clearly state that such volatility, including any stock-run up,
may be unrelated to your actual or expected operating performance and financial
condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly
changing value of your stock.

9.In your response you state that in a subsequent amendment of the S-1/A, you plan to
include (if necessary) an amended set of financial statements for prior years. Please
clarify why you state “if necessary” and tell us the specific periods you intend to include
in your filing at the time of your offering.
