You state that management has
reviewed your current internal controls over financial reporting and concluded they are effective. You also indicate that during
the course of documenting and testing your internal control over financial reporting, you may identify weaknesses and deficiencies
in your internal control over financial reporting. Given you have restated the financial statements as a result of errors coupled
with the fact that the key performance indicators previously provided were incorrect, please revise these disclosures as appropriate.
In this regard, while we acknowledge that you are not yet subject to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, tell us how management's conclusion regarding your controls is still appropriate, or revise. Further, disclose whether you
are now aware of any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in your controls that will need to be addressed when you become
a public company.
RESPONSE:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company advises the Staff that the Company has revised the relevant disclosures throughout
the Registration Statement, where appropriate, to reflect the Company’s weakness in internal controls.
