the 60,000 shares issued in March and April 2025 pursuant to the Joint Venture

Management's Discussion and Analysis ..., page 40
2.We acknowledge your response and revisions to prior comment 4. We note that one of
your key operational and financial metrics you use to manage your business and
gauge performance on page 42, is customer acquisition costs (CAC). We note that
to date, you have not tracked CAC in a standardized or reportable format across all
properties. However, on page 62 you state that "in managing assets over $72 million
over the past four years, Collab Z has accumulated a significant data repository." To
the extent that management has considered these metrics and related data would
enhance a reader's understanding of your financial condition, cash flows and other
changes in financial condition and results of operations, please revise to disclose any
quantitative data relating to several of these metrics in your discussion and analysis of
your financial condition or results of operations. Further, in your discussion on page
42 regarding Net Operating Income, it is unclear why you compare your NOI over
past two fiscal years to data regarding a long-term industry average as of November
2014. If you would like to compare your metric to an industry average, please update
this information to compare similar periods.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale, page 78
3.We note your response to prior comment 11, including disclosure on page 33 that you
have entered into market standoff agreements that restrict the sale of your shares of
common stock, and that the Local Members in your five joint ventures have agreed to
lock up all shares received in all equity issuances consummated prior to the date of the
offering for a period of at least 6 months. Please disclose these arrangements and the
number of shares affected under the subheading "Lock-Up Agreements" beginning on
page 79. Please also disclose these arrangements, identifying any of the Local
Members or joint ventures who are also selling shareholders, in the resale prospectus.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Nature of Operations, page F-7
4.We note your response to our prior comment 13 that the issuance of an aggregate of
5,060,391 shares of Collab Z's common stock in a private placement and subsequent
cancellation of 4,519,500 shares of common stock does not impact your analysis that
common ownership existed during the entire period that both Collab Z and Collab CA
were in existence. Please further elaborate on your response to clearly explain why the
issuance of the shares in the private placement and subsequent cancellation did not
impact your analysis that common ownership existed during the entire period that
both Collab Z and Collab CA were in existence. In that regard, please ensure your
response clarifies whether the shares issued in the private placement from the period
of issuance until cancellation resulted in the majority of the shares being owned by
parties other than the founder and Chairman of the Company. To the extent there was
a period of time where the founder and Chairman of the Company did not own the
majority of the shares, please tell us how you determined there was common control.
