aggregate offering price under Rule 251(a).
8.You disclose that you are offering shares of common stock at a price of not less than $.20
and not more than $1.00 per share. As Rule 251(d)(3)(ii) does not permit at the market
offerings under Regulation A, please revise your disclosure throughout your offering

range and intend to include a fixed price after qualification pursuant to Rule 253(b), please
revise to clarify when the fixed price for the offering will be established. Refer to Rule
253(c) and 253(g)(1).

Agreement that "provides a secure level of protection for our fund’s investment through a
UCC filing." Please provide us with your analysis as to whether you are considered an
investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to

the shipping and logistics business." In addition, you state in your offering circular that
you have "developed a Total Renewable Energy Infrastructure" and provide "a full suite
of unique energy solutions." However, all of your revenue generated for the year ended
