Preliminary Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed October 14, 2020
General Information, page 2
1.Disclosure indicates that the company received written consents in lieu of a meeting from
the majority stockholders of 74% of the voting securities of the total issued and
outstanding shares of voting stock of the company. Given disclosure on page 20 that Mr.
Fawad Maqbool, chairman, president, and chief executive officer, is the beneficial owner
of 11,780,280 shares of common stock representing 22.8% of the voting securities and is
the holder of 1,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock representing 51% of the
voting securities, it appears that Mr. Maqbool is the majority stockholder of 73.8% or 74%
when rounded of the voting securities of the total issued and outstanding shares of voting
stock of the company. Please revise.

3.If the company's amended bylaws attached as Exhibit B amend any provisions in the

Article IX, Section 9.2
Forum for Adjudication of Disputes, page 31
4.Disclosure indicates that the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada will
be the sole and exclusive forum for the adjudication of disputes. Revise the disclosure in
the information statement to make clear whether the provision applies to actions arising
under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. We note that Section 27 of the Exchange
Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or
liability created by the Exchange Act or its rules and regulations and Section 22 of the
Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits
brought to enforce any duty or provision created by the Securities Act or its rules and
regulations. If the provision applies to Securities Act claims, revise the disclosure in the
information statement to state that there is uncertainty on whether a court would enforce
the provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws
and their rules and regulations. If the provision does not apply to actions arising under the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, ensure that the provision in the amended and restated
bylaws states this clearly.
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.

General
1.
We note your response to comment 1 from our letter dated September 7, 2012. However, we continue to believe that your offering constitutes an indirect primary offering by the company through the selling shareholders. We note that the selling shareholders received their share for nominal consideration shortly before the registration statement was filed and the offering continues to involve the majority of non-affiliate shares. Therefore, please identify all the selling shareholders as underwriters and fix the sales price to the public for the duration of the offering.
Response: We have identified the selling shareholders as underwriters and fixed the offering price for their shares for the duration of the offering.

Registration Statement on Form S -1 General 1. We note that you are registering all of the shares held by your public shareholders for resale and that these shares were sold to the selling share holders in the last few months. As a result, it appears that your offering is an indirect primary offering by the company through the selling shareholders. Identify the selling shareholders as underwriters and fix the offering price for their shares for the duration of the offering. Fawad Maqbool AmpliTech Group Inc. September 7, 2012 Page 2 Prospectus Summary, page 5 Business Overview, page 5 2. Please revise this section to elaborate on your business including discussion of products and services offered. Recent Development, page 5 Acquisition of Amplitech, Inc., page 5 3. We note that prior to the acquisition and assuming of AmpliTech operations as of the Securities Exchange Agreement on August 13, 2012, you were a shell company as defined in Rule 12b -2 of the Exchange Act. However, we note that yo u did not file a Form 8 -K to report this transaction. Please file a Form 8 -K incorporating by reference the disclosure found in this Form S -1.

We may not be able to adequately protect our intellectual property, pag e 11 5. Please discuss why you have not registered patents, copyright, trademarks or trade secrets to protect your intellectual property. Selling Shareholders, page 20 6. Please revise this section to include updated disclosure and discussion of your new management, executive officers and directors. We note that paragraph four of this section discusses your prior management; however the selling shareholder table includes your new management including Mr. Fawad Maqbool your CEO. Please identify any other se lling shareholders that may have a material relationship with you or any of your affiliates. Fawad Maqbool AmpliTech Group Inc. September 7, 2012 Page 3 Marketing, page 33 Website, page 33 7. Please revise to disclose the address of your website. We note your disclosure on page 34. Management’s Discussion and Analysis…, page 35 General 8. Disclose in the forefront of this section that your auditors have issued a going concern opinion. Results of Operations, page 36 9. Please expand/revise your discussion under results of operations for all periods to provid e a more robust explanation for the changes in line items within your statements of income. a. Provide a more detailed discussion of the components of revenue changes for all periods presented. For example, during 2011 please expand what you mean when you st ate that revenues decreased as a result of “increasing cash flow constraints and the inability to buy parts to fulfill sales.” b. For the first quarter 2012, discuss what you mean that the increase in sales was related “to more efficient production departmen t.” c. Generally, discuss whether the increase or decrease in revenues (or gross margin) relate to sales of any product lines (such as Low Noise Amplifiers or Medium Power Amplifiers) by quantifying the increase or decrease and indicating the relevant weight of volume or price or particular model in the product line to the overall increase or decrease. This is not meant to represent an all -inclusive list of where your MD&A should be improved. We encourage you to provide quantification of amounts and further clarification throughout your discussion. See Item 303(a)(3) of Regulation S -K. 10. During 2010, we also note that you recognized a material amount of other income, please explain the nature and circumstances of other income Revenues, page 36 11. We note that you secured a line -of-credit to finance accounts receivable and material purchase orders. Please file this agreement as an exhibit referring to Item 601 of Regulation S -K. Fawad Maqbool AmpliTech Group Inc. September 7, 2012 Page 4 Financing Activities, page 38 12. Similarly, we note you entered into a Master Factoring Agreement with a private lender. Please file this agreement as an exhibit. Liquidity and Capital Resources Factor Financing, page 38 13. Please clarify your disclosure regarding the Master Factoring Agreement, so that the nature and pu rpose of the financing agreement is wholly transparent to readers, and advise us. For example, you should disclose why you needed to enter into a factoring agreement and how it differs from other forms of debt. Financial Statements 14. It appears that the A ugust 13, 2012 transaction between Bayview Acquisition Corp. and Amplitech, Inc. was a recapitalization in the form of a reverse merger. Disclose that a reverse acquisition occurs when the shareholders of a company that is being legally acquired obtain a majority of the shares of the newly combined entity, which is what occurred when the company exchanged 16,675,000 shares of its common stock for the membership interests of Amplitech, Inc. on August 13, 2012. Also, clarify your disclosure so that the natu re and terms of the transaction is transparent to readers, and explain how you recorded the reverse merger in your financial statements. Clarify, if true, that Bayview Acquisition Corp was a shell corporation with no assets or liabilities, and advise us. 15. In regards to your accounting for the reverse merger, the August 13, 2012 transaction should have been reported as a recapitalization of Amplitech , Inc., for period priors to the merger, i.e. for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. As a result, you should retroactively restate the equity section of the balance sheets, the statement of stockholder’s equity, and earnings per share of Amplitec h, Inc., for all periods to reflect the number of shares issued in the recapitalization transaction (reverse merger), similar to a stock split. This will also require adjustments to the common stock and APIC amounts to reflect the par value of the post -recapitalization shares. In addition, in the period that the recapitalization occurred, it would be necessary for you to reflect in the financial statements the number of shares previously outstanding of Bayview Acquisition Corp., the non -controlling intere st, as being issued in exchange for the net assets/net liabilities of Bayview Acquisition Corp. Please revise your financial statements, including your earnings per share calculations, accordingly and advise us. See ASC Topic 805 -40. (1) Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, page F -7 Fawad Maqbool AmpliTech Group Inc. September 7, 2012 Page 5 16. Please provide revenue recognition policies. Note that when describing your revenue recognition policies; please avoid using boilerplate language as found in SAB No. 104. For example , disclose whether you recognize revenue immediately as an outright sale, such as FOB shipping point, or whether you recognize revenue over the life of a contract as products are outfitted and installed. Tell us and disclose whether these product sales include maintenance or service contracts, and if they do, tell us and disclose how and when you recognize revenue from such activity. Please provide the relevant accounting literature in your response. 17. We note sales are recognized on a net basis. Please te ll us, and if material, d isclose how and when sales refunds and returns are recognized. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents, page F -7 18. With a view towards comprehensive footnote disclosure, please explain the nature of the customer deposits and specifically tell us if the deposits include agreements that legally restrict your ability to freely withdrawal or make use the deposited cash. If so, it appears you should report restricted cash as a separate line -item on you r balance sheet in accordance with 5.02.1 of Regulation S -X. It would also be necessary for you to revise your statement of cash flows. Please revise or advise us. Interim Consolidated Financial Statements 19. Please provide updated interim financial statements for the periods ending June 30, 2012 and for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. We refer you to the financial statement updating guidance in Rule 3 -12 of Regulation S -X and Rule 8 -03 of Regulation S-X. Accountants’ Consent 20.
