Registration Statement on Form S-1 Response dated August 15, 2025 File No. 333-289532 Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter is submitted on behalf of TuHURA Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ” or “ TuHURA ”), in response to the comment letter dated August 28, 2025 (the “ Comment Letter ”) of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “ Staff ”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) with respect to the Company’s response letter to the Commission dated August 25, 2025, relating to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No: 333-289532), initially filed with the Commission on August 12, 2025 (the “ Registration Statement ”). The Company is submitting the accompanying Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement in response to the Comment Letter. For reference purposes, the text of the Comment Letter has been reproduced herein with our response below the comment. For your convenience, we have italicized the reproduced Staff comment from the Comment Letter. Registration Statement on Form S-1 General 1. We have evaluated your response and continue to note that the $3.7 million tranche is required to be purchased and funded on or before December 31, 2025. Please expand the analysis in your response to address how this would comply with the portion of Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Question 139.11 which indicates that the closing of the private placement of the unissued securities must occur within a “short time” after the effectiveness of the resale registration statement. If the closing of this tranche will not occur within a short time after the anticipated effectiveness of this registration statement, please revise your registration statement as appropriate. RESPONSE : The Company respectfully advises the Staff that the Company and each of the four investors, consisting of Pranabio Investments LLC (“Pranabio”), Garden Street House LLC (“Garden Street”), Thomas C. Mollick (“Mollick”), and Matthew Nachtrab (“Nachtrab”, and together with Pranabio, Garden Street and Mollick, each, a “Deferral Investor”), who agreed at the closing of the Company’s private placement to fund and purchase their respective remaining portion of the final $3.7 million tranche before December 31, 2025 (the “Final Tranche Offering Amount”) pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, dated as of June 2, 2025 (the “SPA”), have subsequently entered into an agreement (each, a “Closing Agreement”) on September 5, 2025 pursuant to which each Deferral Investor agreed to immediately purchase an aggregate of $3.2 million of the Final Tranche Offering Amount in exchange for the Company’s agreement, set forth in a warrant amendment agreement between the Company and each Deferral Investor, to extend the expiration dates of certain warrants to purchase an aggregate of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission September 18, 2025 Page 2 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued by the Company’s predecessor in a 2024 private placement of convertible notes. The entry into these agreements was reported in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on September 11, 2025, and is disclosed in the Registration Statement filed herewith. As specifically set forth in Pranabio’s and Garden Street’s Closing Agreement, each of Pranabio and Garden Street agreed to purchase (and did purchase) 181,134 shares of its Final Tranche Offering Amount on September 5, 2025, and further agreed to purchase the remaining 45,284 shares (the “Committed Shares”) and an equal number of warrants to purchase common stock (the “Committed Warrants”) within five business days after the Commission declares effective the Company’s Registration Statement. However, subsequent to the Closing Agreement and prior to the date hereof, Pranabio and Garden Street did end up purchasing all remaining Committed Shares, and, accordingly, the Company is eligible to register for resale the Committed Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Committed Warrants. Additionally, each of Nachtrab and Mollick entered into a Closing Agreement on September 5, 2025, whereby (A) (i) Nachtrab purchased 452,832 shares in his Final Tranche Offering Amount, and (ii) agreed to purchase the remaining 113,208 shares in his Final Tranche Offering Amount on or before December 31, 2025 (the “Nachtrab Remaining Shares”), and (B) Mollick purchased 301,885 shares in his Final Tranche Offering Amount, and (ii) agreed to purchase the remaining 75,472 shares in his Final Tranche Offering Amount on or before December 31, 2025 (the “Mollick Remaining Shares”, and together with the Nachtrab Remaining Shares, the “Remaining Shares”). Importantly, both Nachtrab and Mollick agreed in their Closing Agreement that the Company will not be required to register for resale their respective Remaining Shares or the equal number of warrants to purchase common stock (the “Remaining Warrant Shares”) to be issued at the time of purchase of the Remaining Shares pursuant to the SPA. In connection with the foregoing, the Company advises the Staff that, in Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, the Company has removed from the Registration Statement the Remaining Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Remaining Warrant Shares that will not be sold within a short time after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. *** U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission September 18, 2025 Page 3 We thank the Staff for its review of the foregoing and the Registration Statement.

Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed August 12, 2025 File No. 333-289532 Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter is submitted on behalf of TuHURA Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “ Company ” or “ TuHURA ”), in response to the comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “ Staff ”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ Commission ”) with respect to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No: 333-289532), initially filed on August 12, 2025 (the “ Registration Statement ”), as set forth in the Staff’s letter dated August 20, 2025 (the “ Comment Letter ”). For reference purposes, the text of the Comment Letter has been reproduced herein with our response below the comment. For your convenience, we have italicized the reproduced Staff comment from the Comment Letter. Registration Statement on Form S-1 General 1. We note that you are registering certain securities for resale that you have agreed to issue in connection with a private placement for an aggregate offering price of $12.6 million. We also note that of the $12.6 million offering, $8.9 million was purchased in four equal tranches with the remaining $3.7 million required to be purchased and funded by December 31, 2025. Please provide us with your analysis as to how you are eligible to register the resale of the $3.7 million worth of securities that have not yet been issued in this private placement or otherwise advise. Refer to Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Question 139.11 for guidance. RESPONSE : The Company has reviewed Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation Question 139.11 (“C&DI 139.11”) and respectfully submits that the offering of the $3.7 million worth of securities that are required to be purchased and funded by December 31, 2025 satisfies the requirements set forth in C&DI 139.11, for the reasons outlined below. C&DI 139.11 provides, in pertinent part, that in a PIPE transaction, “a company will be permitted to register the resale of securities prior to their issuance if the company has completed a Section 4(2)-exempt sale of the securities (or in the case of convertible securities, of the convertible security itself) to the investor, and the investor is at market risk at the time of filing of the resale registration statement. The investor must be irrevocably bound to purchase a set number of securities for a set purchase price that is not based on market price or a fluctuating ratio, either at the time of effectiveness of the resale registration statement or at any subsequent date.” U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission August 25, 2025 Page 2 In the case of the Company’s recently closed private placement, the investors that agreed to invest an aggregate of $4 million or more in the private placement were given the option to elect to defer a portion of such investor’s purchase of shares of common stock and warrants to December 31, 2025 (the “Deferred Securities”). In contrast to the type of transactions contemplated by C&DI 139.11, the Company’s private placement is actually, rather than constructively, complete and closed prior to the filing of the Registration Statement. The investors are irrevocably and unconditionally bound to purchase the Deferred Securities on or before December 31, 2025 pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement entered into with the Company, dated June 2, 2025 (the “SPA”). Pursuant to the SPA, the number of securities offered and sold are not subject to any adjustment, nor is the purchase price for such Deferred Securities subject to adjustment, following the execution of the SPA. The combined effective offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying warrant was $2.65. The terms of the warrants provide that the exercise price is set at $3.3125 per share (subject to customary adjustments for splits, dividends etc.). In addition to the irrevocable agreement to purchase the Deferred Securities on or before December 31, 2025, we note that such investors also participated and funded their respective investment in the first four tranches of the Company’s private placement, each in accordance with the terms of the SPA. There are no conditions relating to the market price of the Company’s securities or such investor’s satisfactory completion of its due diligence on the Company that are applicable to the investors’ obligation to purchase the Deferred Securities. In accordance with the above-referenced guidance, the Company respectfully notes that there are no conditions in the SPA relating to the issuance of the Deferred Securities that are within an investor’s control or that such investor can cause not to be satisfied. Moreover, because all of the economic terms of the Deferred Securities were fixed in the SPA as of June 2, 2025, and because the investors are irrevocably obligated to purchase the Deferred Securities on or before December 31, 2025, the investors bore full market risk of their investment at the time of the filing of the Registration Statement. The economic terms of the Deferred Securities are not subject to change based on a future market price or a fluctuating ratio, either at the time of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any subsequent date. As a result, the investors became subject to full market risk at the time the SPA was executed. In addition, C&DI 139.10 provides that a company may not register for resale an indeterminate number of shares resulting from operation of a conversion formula. Instead, a company must make a good-faith estimate of the number of shares that it may issue on conversion to determine the number of shares to register for resale. If the number of registered shares is less than the actual number issued, the company must file a new registration statement to register the additional shares, assuming the selling securityholder desires to sell those additional shares. As outlined by C&DI 139.10, because the number of securities issuable pursuant to the SPA is fixed, the Company satisfies the requirement of making a good-faith estimate of the number of shares that it may issue upon the number of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock that have been irrevocably subscribed for included in the Deferred Securities. For all of the foregoing reasons, the Company respectfully submits that the facts and circumstances associated with the transactions contemplated by the SPA are consistent with the above-referenced Commission Staff guidance and, therefore, the Company is permitted to register the resale of the Company’s common stock and shares of common stock underlying the warrants sold under the SPA at this time. *** U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission August 25, 2025 Page 3 We thank the Staff for its review of the foregoing and the Registration Statement.

In connection with this response to the Comment Letter, the Company is contemporaneously filing a third amendment to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 3”), to address the Staff’s comments in the Comment Letter and updating the Registration Statement. The following are the Company’s responses to the Comment Letter. For your convenience, the Staff’s comments contained in the Comment Letter have been restated below in their entirety in italic type, with the Company’s corresponding responses set forth immediately under such comments, including, where applicable, a cross-reference to the location of changes made in Amendment No. 3 in response to the Staff’s comment.

Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Amendment No. 3. Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 Opinion of Kintara’s Financial Advisor Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, page 151 1. We note your response to prior comment 4 and revised disclosure. Please further revise to discuss why the projections utilized by Kintara assumed that commercialization for IFX- 2.0 would be able to begin in Q4 2026 and the milestones that will need to be satisfied in order for IFX-2.0 to achieve this timeline. Please also disclose the assumed market penetration for TuHURA’s product candidates in all of the years included in the projections and disclose how much of TuHURA’s projected revenue in 2028 to 2034 is attributed to IFX-2.0 and how much is attributed to TuHURA’s other product candidates. RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 153 and 155 of Amendment No. 3 to reflect the Staff’s comment. Special Protocol Assessment Agreement, page 295 2. We note your disclosure here of partial clinical hold correspondence received from the FDA related to IFx-Hu2.0. Please revise to provide more detail about this partial hold including a discussion of any communications you have had with the FDA related to the hold. Please also revise your prospectus summary, the risk factor appearing on page 33 and the Information About TuHURA section to prominently disclose the partial hold, the reasons for the partial hold, current status and any related risks to investors. RESPONSE: In response to the Staff’s comment, disclosure has been added to the Registration Statement to provide additional detail regarding the partial clinical hold and the related communications with the FDA. That additional disclosure has been added to pages 13, 244, 254-255, and 300 of the Registration Statement (with the most fulsome description of the partial clinical hold being on page 254-255), and the risk factor on pages 33-34 has been updated to make reference to the partial clinical hold. Exhibits 3. We note within Exhibit 23.2 that the auditor’s consent does not refer to a specific report date and refers to April, 2024 while the report included on page F-2 is dated April 1, 2024. Please provide a revised auditor’s consent that refers to the correct audit report date that is also currently dated and signed by your auditors. Refer to Item 601(B)(23)(i)of Regulation S-K.. RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has provided a revised auditor’s consent as Exhibit 23.2 of Amendment No. 3 to reflect the Staff’s comment. General 4. We note your response to comment 42 from our letter dated June 7, 2024 and your claim that you intend to retain REM-001. We continue to consider the response to comment 42. However, in order to clarify the treatment of this business combination, please provide us with your accounting analysis of all relevant factors supporting your conclusion that the merger should be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. As part of your analysis, clearly identify the factors that are indicative that Kintara is a shell company versus the factors that are indicative that it meets the definition of a business at the time of the merger, specifically addressing your ongoing activities and your funding arrangement with NIH. RESPONSE: As previously disclosed and discussed with the Staff, Kintara believes that it has more than “nominal” operations and assets and should not be deemed to be a shell company as of March 31, 2024 or as of the current time. However, after review of the Comment Letter, Comment 42 to the Letter from the Staff dated June 7, 2024 and subsequent oral discussions with the Staff, Kintara acknowledges that its assets, other than cash and cash equivalents, are expected to have nominal value upon the closing of the Merger and that therefore Kintara will be deemed to be a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act upon the closing of the Merger. As such and as stated in Amendment No. 3, for accounting purposes, the Merger is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization because Kintara will be a shell company upon the closing of the Merger and it will not upon the closing of the Merger meet the definition of a “business” in accordance with ASC 805 given it does not have a substantive process due to no substantive assembled workforce with the technical knowhow with the ability to develop the inputs into the ability to eventually produce outputs. Management determined there are currently no indicators that REM-001, which is in the early stages of the study process, would result in a significant asset based on the stage of development. We believe that this letter fully responds to your questions and/or comments. However, if you have any further questions or comments regarding the foregoing, please feel free to contact outside counsel to the Company, Steven M. Skolnick, Esq. of Lowenstein Sandler, LLP, at (973) 597-2476. Very truly yours, /s/ Robert E. Hoffman Robert E. Hoffman Chief Executive Officer Kintara Therapeutics, Inc. cc: Steven M.

We note your reference to TuHURA’s “first-in-class” bi-functional ADCs.

Questions and Answers About the Merger, page 1 3. Please revise this section to prominently disclose the valuations attributed to both Kintara and TuHURA in the merger.

Please revise this section to add a Q&A discussing the reasons why Kintara’s board of directors is recommending that Kintara’s stockholders approve the merger, the reverse split and the associated transactions. In your new Q&A, please discuss whether Kintara’s board of directors considered any potential downsides or uncertainties related to these proposals. RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on pages 3 and 4 of Amendment No. 1 to reflect the Staff’s comment. 6. Please revise your disclosure in this section to discuss the impact that a potential delisting of Kintara’s common stock from Nasdaq would have on the Merger. In your revisions, clarify if you have entered into discussions with Nasdaq related to your potential delisting and tell us the status of any such discussions. RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 5 of Amendment No. 1 to reflect the Staff’s comment. 7. We note that this question currently discusses a number of topics including the reasons for receiving this proxy statement/prospectus, the exchange ratio and the contingent value rights agreements that Kintara will enter into at the time of the merger. Please separate this Q&A into three separate questions discussing: • The reasons why shareholders are receiving this proxy statement/prospectus • The exchange ratio, including a brief explanation what it is and how it will be calculated • The contingent value rights agreements and a discussion of what rights will flow to shareholders from these agreements RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on pages 1-2 of Amendment No. 1 to reflect the Staff’s comment. Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus TuHURA, page 12 8. We note your statements here and throughout the prospectus that TuHURA’s IFx technology and product candidates are “personalized.” However, your disclosure elsewhere in the prospectus appears to indicate that the composition of TuHURA’s IFx product candidates does not vary from patient to patient. Accordingly, please tell us why it is appropriate to characterize TuHURA’s technology and product candidates as “personalized.” Alternatively, please remove this claim. RESPONSE: TuHURA respectfully advises the Staff that the characterization of IFx-2.0 as a “personalized” cancer vaccine is appropriate and consistent with the usage of the term in the scientific and medical industry. IFx-2.0 is “personalized” in that it utilizes each individual patient’s tumor itself as the source of tumor neoantigens. It does so by controlling the activation of tumor-specific T cells through the priming of an innate immune response against the Emm55 immunogenic bacterial protein expressed on the surface of the tumor cell following IFx-2.0 intratumoral administration. Because each individual patient’s tumor’s neoantigens are unique to that patient’s tumor, IFx-2.0 represents a truly individualized and personalized endogenous vaccine because it uses the patient’s own tumor and its complement of tumor antigens to activate an immune response against the cancer in vivo. Please also revise the fourth paragraph of this section to clarify that the results of clinical trials are inherently uncertain and that the results from TuHURA’s Phase 3 clinical trial may fail to satisfy the ORR, PFS and OS endpoints. RESPONSE: In response to this comment and Comment #30 below, the following sentence has been added to the end of the fourth paragraph of this section on page 13: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, the results of clinical trials are inherently uncertain, and the results of TuHURA’s planned Phase 3 clinical trial may fail to satisfy the ORR, PFS, and/or OS endpoints, and none of TuHURA’s prior clinical trials with respect to IFx-2.0 were powered to determine statistical significance over a control.” The same sentence has been added following similar disclosure on pages 238 and 248. 9. We note your statement that TuHURA plans to initiate a Phase 1b/2a trial in the third quarter of 2024. Please revise to clarify if there is an active IND for this trial. RESPONSE: A sentence has been added to the end of this paragraph stating that the planned Phase 1b/2a trial is covered by the currently active IND for IFx-2.0. 10. Please revise this section to reflect your disclosure on page 232 indicating that TuHURA must complete additional product testing procedures and gain FDA acceptance of these procedures before it can commence its Phase 3 clinical trial. RESPONSE: In response to this comment, the disclosure from page 232 regarding the additional testing procedures has been included in the Summary. TuHURA Note Financing, page 16 11. Please disclose how the Kintara shareholders would be impacted by the exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the TuHURA Note Financing. For example, explain if this would further dilute the total ownership percentage of Kintara shareholders in the combined company and quantify the amount of such dilution. RESPONSE: Please be advised that the exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the TuHURA Note Financing would have no effect on the total ownership percentage of Kintara shareholders in the combined company as disclosed throughout the registration statement. As provided on pages 14 and 15, for purposes of calculating the Exchange Ratio used to determine the total ownership of Kintara equityholders, all shares of TuHURA Common Stock underlying TuHURA warrants are deemed to be outstanding. As a result, the equity ownership following the merger has been presented on a fully-diluted basis, and there will be no impact by the exercise of the warrants. The Company has revised its disclosure on page 19 of Amendment No. 1 to clarify that there will be no impact relating to any exercise of the TuHURA warrants on the Kintara equityholders. Opinion of Kintara’s Financial Advisor, page 18 12. We note your statements here and elsewhere in the prospectus, as well as in the fairness opinion attached as Annex B, that the opinion is intended for the sole benefit of Kintara’s board of directors and may not be used for any other purpose. Please remove this statement. Alternatively, please disclose the legal basis for your and Lucid’s belief that stockholders cannot rely on the opinion to bring state law actions, including a description of any state law authorities on such a defense. If no such authority exists, please disclose that this issue will be resolved by a court, resolution of this issue will have no effect of on rights and responsibilities of Kintara’s board under state law and the availability or non-availability of this defense has no effect on the rights and responsibilities of either Lucid or Kintara’s board under federal securities laws. RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page20 and 141 of Amendment No. 1 to reflect the Staff’s comment. Risk Factors TuHURA relies on third parties to manufacture its clinical product supplies..., page 39 13. Please disclose the name of the single source supplier TuHURA current relies on for the manufacturing of TuHURA’s product candidates. In your revisions, clarify if the single source supplier holds any of the necessary know-how required to manufacture TuHURA’s product candidates and if TuHURA has entered into any supply agreements with it. RESPONSE: Please be advised that the language that previously referenced a “single source vendor” has been revised to reflect that TuHURA uses several outside vendors to manufacture supplies and process TuHURA’s product candidates. For the information of the Staff, none of TuHURA’s vendors holds any necessary know-how, as such vendors are CDMOs that perform drug product manufacturing that is fill-finish only. The certificate of incorporation of the combined company will provide that..., page 80 14. We note your disclosure regarding the exclusive forum provision that will be included in the articles of incorporation of the combined company. Please revise to clarify that Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all actions brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 82 and revised the exclusive forum language in Article VII of the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation in response to the Staff’s comment. Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information , page 107 15. Please revise this note to clearly disclose your fiscal year end once the merger agreement is effective. RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure on page 109 in response to the Staff’s comment. 16. We note from proposal 2 on page 1 that you are proposing a reverse stock split of only the outstanding shares of Kintara Common Stock and other outstanding securities of Kintara Common Stock (with no change to the authorized capital stock of Kintara), at a ratio in the range from [ ]-for-1 to [ ]-for-1. Please revise your filing to provide the range of the reverse stock split as well as to update your pro forma financial statements for the impact of the reverse stock split upon your financial statements. Further, to the extent that any such reverse stock split is expected to occur prior to the effectiveness of your registration statement, all share data will require retroactive adjustment pursuant to SAB Topic 4.C. RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has removed the language regarding effecting a reverse stock split of only the outstanding shares of Kintara Common Stock. The Company informs the Staff that it does not intend to effect reverse stock split prior to effective date of the Registration Statement. The Company is currently analyzing what ratio to utilize and has presented it current expectations for the relevant range in brackets in Amendment No. 1. The Company will update its disclosure in a subsequent amendment to the Registration Statement to disclose the relevant range of ratios to be considered by the Company’s board of directors prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement without brackets once finalized. 17. Reference is made to note (A) on page 118 and that you have reflected the anticipated cash proceeds of $28.6 million within your pro forma balance sheet related to the TuHURA Note Financing. We further note from your discussion on page 16 that you received $31.3 million in subscriptions related to these notes and only $18.5 million were funded as of April 30, 2024. Please tell and revise your filing to disclose why you made a $28.6 million adjustment to the pro forma balance sheet since only $18.5 million were funded as of April 30, 2024. RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure in note (A) on page 121 of Amendment No. 1 to clarify that the subscription agreements are legally binding subscriptions that require the investors to unconditionally fund their investments by a specified date in such subscription agreement before the closing of the Merger. 18. Reference is made to adjustment (F) on page 118 and that you have a $0 adjustment reflected within your pro forma financial statements for the contingent right value (CVR) that you believe is probable that the Milestone of the Kintara legacy clinical studies pursuant to the CVR Agreement will be achieved and the CVR shares to be issued. We further note your disclosure that the accounting treatment for the CVR obligation is preliminary in nature and the final accounting treatment will be determined based on a number of factors, including additional analysis of the transaction and consideration of relevant accounting standards. Please tell us and explain in more detail how you plan on accounting for these rights and why you have reflected a $0 impact for these rights. RESPONSE: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the disclosure in note 1 on page 118 of Amendment No. 1 under the Contingent Value Rights Agreement section with additional discussion on management’s determination of the net zero accounting determination for the CVR, has removed adjustment (F) has expanded its CVR disclosures on page 118 in response to the Staff’s comment.

TuHURA's securities on Nasdaq is a closing condition of the merger.

voting power of Kintara shareholders in the combined company.
5.Please revise this section to add a Q&A discussing the reasons why Kintara's board of

7.We note that this question currently discusses a number of topics including the reasons for
receiving this proxy statement/prospectus, the exchange ratio and the contingent value
rights agreements that Kintara will enter into at the time of the merger. Please separate
this Q&A into three separate questions discussing:
•The reasons why shareholders are receiving this proxy statement/prospectus

shareholders from these agreements
Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
TuHURA, page 10
8.We note your statements here and throughout the prospectus that TuHURA's IFx
technology and product candidates are "personalized." However, your disclosure
elsewhere in the prospectus appears to indicate that the composition of TuHURA's IFx
product candidates does not vary from patient to patient. Accordingly, please tell us why it
is appropriate to characterize TuHURA's technology and product candidates as
"personalized." Alternatively, please remove this claim.
Please also revise the fourth paragraph of this section to clarify that the results of clinical
trials are inherently uncertain and that the results from TuHURA's Phase 3 clinical trial
may fail to satisfy the ORR, PFS and OS endpoints.
9.We note your statement that TuHURA plans to initiate a Phase 1b/2a trial in the third
quarter of 2024. Please revise to clarify if there is an active IND for this trial.
10.Please revise this section to reflect your disclosure on page 232 indicating that TuHURA
must complete additional product testing procedures and gain FDA acceptance of these
procedures before it can commence its Phase 3 clinical trial.

responsibilities of Kintara's board under state law and the availability or non-availability

disclosure elsewhere indicating that TuHURA's legacy equityholders will own 97.15% of
the combined company. Please revise your second bullet to reflect your disclosure
elsewhere in the prospectus indicating that TuHURA does not intend to further advance or
develop REM-001.

23.Please disclose the "certain internal financial analyses" and projections Lucid Capital
Markets relied upon in providing their opinion that the Exchange Ratio was fair to Kintara
shareholders from a financial point of view.
24.Your disclosure here indicates that Lucid did not assign any value to the right of the
Kintara stockholders to receive additional shares pursuant to the CVR Agreement.
However, Lucid's opinion attached as Annex B appears to assume that the CVR
distribution has occurred and that Kintara's stockholders will own approximately 5.5% of
the of the combined company's common stock on a fully-diluted basis. Please revise your
disclosure and clarify whether the Exchange Ratio evaluated by Lucid incorporated the
CVR shares. Alternatively, please advise.

approval, that the FDA may disagree with TuHURA's conclusion that data from the trial is
sufficient for an approval and that the FDA may require TuHURA to conduct additional

Schedule TO-I filed January 8, 2015
File No. 005-87181
Dear
Ms. Duru:
The
following responds to the comments of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as set forth in its
comment letter dated January 16, 2015 (the “Comment Letter”) relating to the above-referenced Schedule TO-I (the “Schedule
TO”) filed by DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”). All capitalized terms not specifically defined herein
shall have the meaning assigned to such terms as set forth in the Schedule TO.
This
letter sets forth the comments of the Commission in the comment letter (numbered in accordance with the comment letter) and, following
each comment, sets forth the Company’s response.
General
Exhibit 99.1 to the company’s current report on Form
8-K filed on January 8, 2015 consists of a press release announcing the commencement of the Offer, yet the press release does
not appear to have been filed under cover of Schedule TO. Please refer to Rule 13e-4 (c) and file all written communications relating
to the offer under cover of Schedule TO.
Response:
The Company has
filed the press release as Exhibit (a)(1)(E) to the Schedule TO and revised “Item 12 Exhibits” to the Schedule TO
accordingly.
Exhibit (a)(1)(B)
Cautionary Statement…,
page 1
1
We note disclosure that you undertake “…no obligation
to update any forward-looking statement or statements…” This assertion is inconsistent with the company’s obligation
to amend and promptly disseminate revised information in the event that existing disclosure materially changes. Therefore, please
revise this disclosure and refrain from including such language in future press releases and filings. Refer generally to Rules
13e-4(d)(2) and 13e-4(e)(3).
Response:
The Company has
revised its disclosures as set forth in the “Introduction” to the Schedule TO to comply with the comment above.
Financial Information Regarding
the Company, page 8
Consistent with the requirements of Item 1010 (c) of Regulation
M-A, please revise to include in the Offer to Exchange all of the summary financial statements required by that item. Please refer
to the Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, Third Supplement (July 2001) at
H.7 available at http://www.sec.gov/interps/telephone/phonesupplement3.htm.
Response:
The Company has
revised its disclosure as set forth in the comment above by filing the disclosure required by Item 1010(a) of Regulation M-A as
Exhibit (a)(1)(F) to the Schedule TO.
Warrant Exchange Agreements, page
18
We note that certain warrantholders entered into warrant
exchange agreements representing 1,244,666 warrants on December 31, 2014. Please supplementally advise us of the negotiations
that preceded the execution of the warrant exchange agreements. For example, advise us of the total number of persons contacted
(i.e., including persons who chose not to execute the warrant exchange agreement at that time) and what percentage of the total
number of warrantholders such persons represented. Also, please confirm whether all persons who executed the agreement are accredited
investors. We may have further comment.
Response:
All of the persons who executed
the warrant exchange agreements represented to the Company in the warrant exchange agreements that they are accredited investors.
The Company has a pre-existing relationship with all of the warrantholders as they were originally issued their warrants pursuant
to a series of private placements in 2013. Certain warrantholders who were eligible to participate in the Company’s
2014 tender offer to amend and exercise their warrants contacted the Company and suggested a warrant exchange at a ratio of three
warrants for one newly issued share of common stock. These were 16 persons who beneficially owned warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 2,397,291 shares of common stock, or 33% of the outstanding warrants, on a pre-warrant exchange basis (out of approximately
77 persons who beneficially owned warrants). Of the 16 persons who contacted the Company, one person beneficially owned 15% of
the total outstanding warrants on a pre-warrant exchange basis. The warrants were not publicly traded.
Conditions of the Exchange Offer,
page 22
A tender offer may be conditioned on a variety of events
and circumstances, provided that they are not within the direct or indirect control of the bidder, and are drafted with sufficient
specificity to allow for objective verification of whether or not the conditions have been satisfied. In this regard, we refer
to disclosure in the fourth bullet point under (c), which references any “significant” decrease in the market price
of the company’s common stock. Please further clarify how the bidder will assess the significance of the decline by reference
to a quantitative reference point, such as a certain percentage decline from the prior market price as quoted on the OTCQX.
Response:
The Company
has revised its disclosures to remove this condition as indicated in “Item 4 Terms of the Transaction” of the Schedule
TO.
Please refer to the final paragraph under this heading. When
an offer condition is triggered by events that occur during the offer period and before the expiration of the offer, the company
should inform securityholders how it intends to proceed promptly, rather than wait until the end of the offer period, unless the
condition is one where satisfaction of the condition may be determined only upon expiration. Please confirm the company’s
understanding in your response letter.
Response:
The Company confirms its
understanding of the comment above.
2
7. Please
refer to the comment above. Note that when a condition is triggered and you decide to
proceed with the offer anyway, we believe that this constitutes a waiver of the triggered
condition(s). Depending on the materiality of the waived condition and the number of
days remaining in the offer, you may be required to extend the offer and re-circulate
new disclosure to security holders. You may not, as this language seems to imply, fail
to assert a triggered offer condition and thus effectively waive it without officially
doing so. Please confirm the company’s understanding in your response letter.
Response:
The Company confirms its
understanding of the comment above.

of this comment.

COMPANY LETTERHEAD
June 26, 2014
United States Securities and Exchange Commission
Division of Corporation Finance
100 F Street, NE
Washington, DC 20549
Attention: Daniel F. Duchovny
Re:
DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Schedule TO-I filed June 9, 2014 SEC File No. 005-87181
Dear Mr. Duchovny:
The following responds to the comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as set forth in its comment letter dated June 18, 2014 (the “Comment Letter”) relating to the above-referenced Schedule TO-I (the “Schedule TO”) filed by DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”). All capitalized terms not specifically defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms as set forth in the Schedule TO.
This letter sets forth the comments of the Staff in the comment letter (numbered in accordance with the comment letter) and, following each comment, sets forth the Company’s response. We also have enclosed a copy of Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule TO (the “Amended Schedule TO”).
Schedule TO-1
1.
Please provide the disclosure in Items 2, 3, 6 and 9 in the document delivered to security holders.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has provided the disclosure in Items 2,3,6 and 9 in the document delivered to security holders.
1
Item 10. Financial Statements
2.
We note you have incorporated by reference the financial information required by Item 1010(a) of Regulation M-A. Please tell us why you have determined that the information required by Item 1010(b) is not applicable and why you have not provided the summary information required by Item 1010(c).
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the Schedule TO to include the pro forma financial information required by Item 1010(b) of Regulation M-A and has determined that the summary information required by Item 1010(c) is required.
Offer to Amend and Exercise
3.
We note the last legend on your cover page relating to the exemption from the Securities Act. Please tell us the basis for your belief that the issuance of shares pursuant to the offer is exempt from registration.
Response:
The Company issued the Investor Warrants in private placement transactions in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) inasmuch as these previous private placement transactions occurred without any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The holders of the Investor Warrants previously represented to the Company that they were “accredited investors” in connection with the transactions in which such holders acquired the Investor Warrants in 2013. As such, the Company anticipates that the holders of the Investor Warrants will continue to qualify as accredited investors, unless their status has changed since their prior transaction with the Company.
The Company intends to rely on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, as an exemption for its offer to amend the Investor Warrants. The Company has implemented the Offer to Amend and Exercise without any form of general solicitation or general advertising. In addition, the Company intends to provide the following in the Amended Schedule TO:
a) The Company will continue to require the holders of the Investor Warrants to complete an accredited investor questionnaire, although the holders will not be required to be an accredited investor in order to participate in the Offer to Amend and Exercise.
b) The Election to Participate and Exercise Warrant shall continue to enable the Company to determine whether any holder who is not an accredited investor either alone or with the holder’s purchaser representatives has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.
c) The Company has included in the Offering Materials a new disclosure document titled “Supplemental Company Information,” which includes all of the information required by Rule 502 of Regulation D. In addition, the Company has incorporated all information contained in any reports or documents required to be filed under Sections 13(a), 14(a), 14(c) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. As a result, the Company has met the requirement to deliver to non-accredited investors the information required by Rule 502(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation D, thereby still satisfying the requirements of Rule 506 in the event any of the eligible warrant holders have ceased to be accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501 under Regulation D.
2
As stated above, based on their prior representations, the Company anticipates that each of the holders of the Investor Warrants are accredited investors, and that the Offer to Amended and Exercise will qualify for an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
4.
On a related note, please reconcile the inclusion of the legend as well as a condition to the offer relating to your determination that an exemption is available. It appears that you have already determined that there is an exemption, thus your inclusion of a condition appears to belie your apparent conclusion that the issuance of shares is exempt. Please advise.
Response:
The Company has determined that an exemption is available for the offer, as discussed in the response to Comment 3 above. The Company has revised the Offer to Amend and Exercise to remove the language referring to an exemption from registration as a condition.
Summary of Terms, page 1
5.
We note that in this section, under the caption "Conditions," you include as a condition to the offer the completion by holders of the Accredited Investor Questionnaire. It appears that the offer is limited to persons who are accredited investors. Please provide an analysis as to Rule 1 3e-4(f)(8)(i), which requires that the offer be open to all security holders.
Response:
The Company has revised the Offer to Amend and Exercise so that the offer is not limited to persons who are accredited investors.
6.
On a related note, it appears that you have included as a condition what appears to be better described as a term of the offer that affects each security holder rather than the offer as a whole. Please advise.
Response:
The Company has revised the Offer to Amend and Exercise to remove the language referring to an exemption from registration as a condition.
7.
On a further related note, this condition is not included in Section 6 of the offer to amend. Please advise.
Response:
The Company has revised the Offer to Amend and Exercise to include completion by holders of an Accredited Investor Questionnaire in Section 6.
3
Conditions to the Offer to Amend and Exercise, page 16
8.
We note that your condition (i) is subject to your determination of compliance with the federal securities laws. The ability of a bidder to determine, in its sole discretion, whether a condition has occurred may render the offer illusory. Please revise.
Response:
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the Offer to Amend and Exercise to remove the language referenced above.
Election to Participate
9.
We note that in the representations and warranties 2-4 of the election form you improperly require tendering security holders to certify various things. Please revise to delete the requirement that security holders make the referenced representations. Alternatively, amend the form to include a legend in bold typeface that indicates you do not view the representations made by security holders as a waiver of liability and that you commit not to assert that these provisions constitute a waiver of liability.
Response:
The Company has revised the Election to Participate to remove the language referenced above.
The Company hereby acknowledges the following:
•
the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
•
Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
•
the Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The following responses address the comments of the reviewing Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) as set forth in a comment letter dated February 27, 2013 relating to the above-referenced Form 8-K of DelMar Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“DelMar” or the "Company") The answers set forth herein refer to each of the Staff’s comments by number.

1.
We note your pending confidential treatment request and advise you that we will not be in a position to conclude our review of your filing until all comments on your confidential treatment request have been resolved. We will deliver any comments to your confidential treatment request under separate cover.
Response:
The Staff’s comment is duly noted.

2.
We note that you conduct a considerable amount of work with Guangxi Wuzhou in China. Please expand this risk factor and related discussions, as appropriate, to disclose that China is one of the countries that has provided less protection to a company’s intellectual property than the United States.
Response:
The risk factor has been expanded in accordance with the Staff’s comment.

Alternatively, please provide us with a detailed analysis which supports your belief that the data is representative of all patients enrolled.

Guangxi Wuzhou Pharmaceutical Company, page 24
4.
Please expand your disclosure to describe the material terms of your collaboration agreement with Guangxi Wuzhou, including the duration and termination provisions, the aggregate payments to date, material obligations, and the nature and scope of any intellectual property licensed or otherwise transferred.
Response:
The disclosure regarding the collaboration agreement has been expanded in accordance with the Staff’s comment, including with respect to the duration and termination provisions. As discussed with the Staff, the Company has requested redaction of the duration and conditions for renewal provisions specifically as they relate to the preemptive right of DelMar (BC) to act as exclusive buyer for the China market. The Company believes redaction of these provisions is appropriate in that these provisions are not material to investors and, if disclosed, could harm the Company’s competitive position.
What is considered a material disclosure to investors is based on the facts and circumstances. Section II.B.1 of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 1 states that, “general disclosure about a contract should not prevent an applicant from requesting confidential treatment of selected terms of the contract that remain undisclosed.” The collaboration agreement is complex and includes various rights and obligations of both parties as they relate to various markets. The requested redacted portion is limited to the duration and termination provisions for a specific right for one particular market. All other provisions of the agreement, including general duration and termination provisions, and all terms relating to all other markets other than China, have been publicly disclosed.
In addition, public disclosure of the duration and conditions for renewal provisions specifically as they relate to the preemptive right of DelMar (BC) to act as exclusive buyer for the China market would have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s competitive position. If competitors of the Company become aware of these terms, they may try to supplant the Company for exclusive commercial rights to the VAL-083 product in China by, for example, proposing sales targets and prices which the Company may be unwilling or unable to meet.

6. We note your disclosure on page 22 that your executive officers are not full-time employees, butare engaged on an independent contractor or contract-employment basis. Please disclose theamount of time each executive officer devotes to the company’s business and expand your discussion on page 36 to describe any provisions of their consulting agreements under which they allocate their time to the company. In addition, please file the consulting agreements with your executive officers as exhibits pursuant to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K.
Response:
The directors and executive officers and executive compensation sections have been expanded, and the consulting agreements have been added as exhibits, in accordance with the Staff’s comment.
Item 6. Executive Compensation, page 36
7. On page F-43, you disclose that in 2012 you approved a stock option plan and granted 1,020,000stock options under the plan. Please confirm that none of your executive officers or directorsreceived any stock options during 2012. Alternatively, please revise your disclosure on pages 36 and 37 to disclose the required information pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K for 2012.

Response:
Each executive officer and director was issued options to purchase 150,000 common shares on February 1, 2012. The executive compensation section has been revised accordingly.
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, page 37
8.
Please expand your discussion of the patent assignment agreement with Valent, as amended, to include the duration and termination provisions and the amount of royalties payable expressed as a percentage or range within 10% (i.e. single digits, teens, twenties, etc.).
Response:
The discussion of patent assignment agreement has been expanded in accordance with the Staff’s comment.
9.
Please file copies of the following agreements with Valent pursuant to Item 601(b)(10)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-K:
o
Loan agreement; and
o
Agreement to access your facilities in California, as disclosed on page 33.
Response:
The loan agreement has been added as an exhibit in accordance with the Staff’s comment. There is no separate agreement with respect to access to the California facilities. The Company has access to such facilities pursuant to an informal unwritten arrangement with Valent. The 8-K has been revised accordingly.

Re: Berry Only Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-1
File No. 333-168897
Dear Ms. Kane
In response to your comment letter dated October 27, 2010 we have filed an amendment to the S-1 which was originally filed on August 17, 2010.
General
1. You have requested that the Company address how the number of shares offered and the time that the shareholders have held their shares affect the applicability of Rule 415(a)(1)(i) to this offering. Our analysis is provided below. As an initial matter, however, the Company reiterates that none of the Selling Shareholders is a conduit for the Company, but rather, purchased their shares for their own account. Each of the Selling Shareholders were immediately at market risk once their shares were purchased, and such market risk has continued through the time of filing the registration statement.
In the present case, each of the Selling Shareholders executed a Subscription Agreement for the purchase of their shares. Paragraph 5.1 of the Subscription Agreement specifically stated that:
"(h) "the Subscriber is purchasing the Shares as a principal (and not as an agent) for investment purposes only with no intention or view to reselling or distributing any portion or beneficial interest in the Shares and the Subscriber will be the beneficial owner of any Shares to be issued to the Subscriber if, as and when this Subscription is accepted by the Company in whole or in part;
(i) the Subscriber is not an underwriter of, or dealer in, the common shares of the Company, nor is the Subscriber participating, pursuant to a contractual agreement or otherwise, in the distribution of the Shares;
(j) the Subscriber is familiar with the aims and objectives of the Company and the proposed use of the proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Shares and is aware of the risk and other characteristics of his investment in the Shares including the risk that no market for the Shares may ever exist...."
A true and correct copy of the Company's Subscription Agreement, which was signed by each of the selling shareholders, is attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
The Company believes that the Investors evaluated an investment in the Company on the basis of the business purpose for the Private Placement and the funds needed accomplish the business purpose, and whether they believed that the Company’s proposed use of proceeds was rational and likely to produce appropriate investment returns.
The Number of Shares Offered
The Company acknowledges and respects the Staff's concern about abusive transaction structures, and note that the Staff's focus of concern has been primarily on market participants who engage in illegal trading activities in and around PIPE transactions (i.e. "toxic PIPE transactions"), and transactions such as “toxic convertibles” where convertible notes are issued with floating conversion prices, resulting in a conversion into a multiple (e.g., 2x, 3x, 4x or higher) of the total number of outstanding shares. Accordingly, Staff scrutinizes offerings in which the number of shares offered constitute 30% or more of the total outstanding shares held by non-affiliates, had has created a rebuttable presumption that registration of 30% or more of the non-affiliate shares is a primary offering by the company and not a secondary offering by existing shareholders.
Because of the requirements of Rule 415, the Staff’s interpretation of Rule 415 has a dramatic and potentially disastrous impact on the ability of smaller public companies, like the Company, to raise capital and on the ability of a selling stockholder to effect the resale of its securities. Therefore, the Staff should only recharacterize a secondary offering as being on behalf of a registrant after careful and complete review of the relevant facts and circumstances. The availability of Rule 415 depends on whether the offering is made by bona fide selling stockholders or deemed to be made by or on behalf of the issuer. In order for the Staff to determine that the offering is in reality being made on behalf of the issuer, the Staff must conclude that the selling shareholders are essentially seeking to effect a distribution of an issuer’s shares. However, if the Staff’s concern is that a distribution is taking place, the Company respectfully submits that the number of shares being registered should be one of the less important factors in the Staff’s analysis since an inappropriate distribution of shares can take place regardless of the amount of shares. In
addition, limiting the number of shares being registered does not affect any significant change in the circumstances of a proposed offering, the investment intent of the selling shareholders or the ability of investors to effect a distribution if, in fact, that was their intent.
In reviewing all of the circumstances in this case, the Company urges Staff to recognize that each Selling Shareholder executed a Subscription Agreement wherein the subscriber states that he or she has purchased his or her own account. The Selling Shareholders are not acting as a conduit for the Company, and this offering should not be characterized as a primary offering, and therefore Rule 415(a)(1)(i) is applicable.
How Long the Selling Shareholders Have Held the Shares
Presumably, the longer shares are held, the less likely it is that the Selling Shareholders are acting as a mere conduit for the Company. As noted above, Staff's concern focuses on the applicability of Rule 415 to curb "toxic PIPE transactions. Here, the Selling Shareholders have now held their shares in excess of four months as of the date of this letter. During such time, to the Company’s knowledge, none of the selling shareholders have sold any of their shares nor have they engaged in any derivative transaction. This holding period is longer than the period required by the Staff for valid “PIPE” transactions. In fact instantaneous registration is permitted under the PIPEs Interpretation (below), so any delay, even a short one, must also be permissible. (See SEC's CDI Interpretation 116.19 (the “PIPEs Interpretation”). Therefore, if this holding period would be appropriate if the offering was pursuant to a PIPE transaction, then it should be appropriate in a non-PIPE offering.
2. Pursuant to Rule 419(a)(2), the term blank check company, means "a development stage company that either has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies... and is issuing penny stock as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934." Rule 419 does not, however, apply to offerings by start-up companies with specific business plans are not subject to Rule 419, even if operations have not commenced at the time of the offering. See SEC Release 33-6932.
We are not a blank check company as defined by Rule 419 because, as set forth in the Registration Statement, we have a very clear business plan, which is to distribute Wireless Wipes™ in Canada. As discussed in the registration statement under “Plan of Operations” over the next 12 months the Company intends to launch its website, develop marketing materials, develop 3rd party distributor relationships develop detailed advertising strategies both online and offline. The company has secured its initial supply of Wireless Wipes since the last amendment to the registration statement. On a day-to-day basis the Company has currently being focusing its efforts on getting the initial website designed and launched. The website design is now complete and the Company is working towards getting it launched. We expect the website to be launched within the next few days. Once the initial website has been
launched we will turn our efforts to the addition of a shopping cart so that we can accept credit card payments directly on the website. Once the website is able to accept online payment the Company will focus its day-to-day efforts on marketing, in an effort to drive customers to its website. The company will also then turn its focus to the development of 3rd party distributor relationships as discussed in its plan of operations.
The Company has no current plans, arrangements, commitments or understandings to engage in a merger or acquisition with another company.
Selling Shareholders, page 9
3. The Company recognizes that the term "in the normal course of business" does not adequately describe the shareholders' intentions. Pursuant to section 5.1(i) of the Subscription Agreement, each Selling Shareholder represented that he or she "is not an underwriter of, or dealer in, the common shares of the Company, nor is the Subscriber participating, pursuant to a contractual agreement or otherwise, in the distribution of the Shares." Therefore, each Selling Shareholder represented that he or she would only sell his or her shares in the normal course of being an investor of the Company and not as an underwriter or in a distribution.

Registration Statement on Form S-1
File No. 333-168897
Dear Ms. Kane
In response to your comment letter dated October 6, 2010 we have filed an amendment to the S-1 which was originally filed on August 17, 2010.
General
1. We have reviewed the Staff’s historical guidance on delayed or continuous offering and sale of securities as articulated in Question 612.09 (“CD&I 612.09”) of the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations regarding the rules promulgated under the Securities Act, which states, in pertinent part:
The question of whether an offering styled a secondary one is really on behalf of the issuer is a difficult factual one, not merely a question of who receives the proceeds. Consideration should be given to how long the selling shareholders have held the shares, the circumstances under which they received them, their relationship to the issuer, the amount of shares involved, whether the sellers are in the business of underwriting securities, and finally, whether under all the circumstances it appears that the seller is acting as a conduit for the issuer. (emphasis added)
As such, the standard of review for the Staff in deciding the “question of whether an offering styled a secondary one is really on behalf of the issuer” remains an analysis of the facts and circumstances articulated in CD&I 612.09. We have reviewed the factors that the Staff set forth in its Comment Letter and other relevant factors, including CD&I 612.09.
Rule 415(a)(1)(i) provides in relevant part that securities may be registered for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis in the future, provided that the registration statement pertains only to securities which are to be offered or sold solely by or on behalf of persons other than the registrant. The Company respectfully submits that all the shares registered for resale under the Registration Statement are covered by Rule 415(a)(1)(i) because (i) all the securities will be offered or sold solely by security holders of the Company and not by the Company; (ii) none of the security holders is acting on behalf of the Company, and (iii) none of selling shareholders are affiliates of the Company.
After a review of 415(a)(1)(i) and a review of Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Question 612.09, we believe that the registration of the shares on behalf of selling shareholders does not constitute transactions "by or on behalf of the issuer". As stated in the Registration Statement, the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares by the selling shareholders. The Company has not entered into any arrangements with the selling shareholders to receive any of the funds they may receive if they were to sell their shares.
Because none of the selling shareholders is acting on behalf of the Company, and because the Registration Statement pertains only to securities being offered or sold by persons other than the Company and its affiliates, the offering is appropriately characterized as a transaction that is eligible to be made on a shelf basis under Rule 415(a)(1)(i).
Analysis of Rule 415 Criteria for a Secondary Offering
CD&I 612.09 lists six set of factors that should be taken into consideration when assessing whether an offering meets the requirements under Rule 415(a)(1)(i). Those factors are as follows: how long the selling shareholders have held the shares, the circumstances under which they received them, their relationship to the issuer, the amount of shares involved, whether the sellers are in the business of underwriting securities, and finally, whether under all the circumstances it appears that the seller is acting as a conduit for the issuer.
In our view, based on a proper consideration of all of those factors, the Staff should conclude that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is “solely by or on behalf of a person or persons other than the registrant, a subsidiary of the registrant or a person of which the registrant is a subsidiary” and therefore, the registration of the Shares should be permitted by Rule 415(a)(1)(i).
● How long the Selling Shareholders have held the shares.
The Selling Shareholders listed in the Registration Statement purchased their shares in arms-length transactions from the Company in June, 2010.
● The circumstances under which the Selling Shareholders received their shares.
As noted above, each of the Selling Shareholders purchased their shares from the Company in an arms-length transaction. The issuer conducted bona fide private placements of its securities on an arms-length basis to friends and business colleagues of the Company's founder. Each of the Selling Shareholder purchased their shares for cash, which was received by the Company. The Company will not receive any consideration from the subsequent sale of these shares by the Selling Shareholders. Each selling shareholders has the full economic and market risk at least for the period from the date of purchase to the effective date of the Registration Statement, which has not yet occurred. The selling shareholders purchased the shares for investment purposes and not with a view of "distribution" as defined in Regulation M as an offering of securities that differs from normal trading activities for reasons that include special efforts and selling methods.
● The Selling Shareholders' relationship to the issuer.
All shares are being registered on behalf of non-affiliates. None of the Selling Shareholders have any other relationship with the Company.
The number of shares being registered pursuant to this Registration Statement is 2,950,000, which represents 49.58% of the outstanding shares. However, none of the Selling Shareholders is an owner of more than 2.6% of the Company's outstanding shares.
● Whether the sellers are in the business of underwriting securities.
None of the Selling Shareholders are in business of underwriting securities or registered broker-dealer.
● Whether under all the circumstances it appears that the seller is acting as a conduit for the issuer.
Each of the selling shareholders is acting on its own behalf and not on behalf of the Company. Each selling shareholders has the full economic and market risk at least for the period from the date of purchase to the effective date of the Registration Statement, which has not yet occurred. The selling shareholders purchased the shares for investment purposes and not with a view of distribution. There are no indicia that any of the selling shareholders is engaged in a “distribution.”
None of the Selling Shareholders is an underwriter or registered broker-dealer. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the selling stockholders is making any special selling efforts, utilizing any special selling methods, or entering into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter, broker-dealer, or other person or entity with respect to the sale of the shares covered by the Registration Statement.
Again, because none of the selling shareholders is acting on behalf of the Company, and because the Registration Statement pertains only to securities being offered or sold by persons other than the Company and its affiliates, the offering is appropriately characterized as a transaction that is eligible to be made on a shelf basis under Rule 415(a)(1)(i).
2. Pursuant to Rule 419(a)(2), the term blank check company, means "a development stage company that either has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies... and is issuing penny stock as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934." Rule 419 does not, however, apply to offerings by start-up companies with specific business plans are not subject to Rule 419, even if operations have not commenced at the time of the offering. See SEC Release 33-6932.
We are not a blank check company as defined by Rule 419 because, as set forth in the Registration Statement, we have a very clear business plan, which is to distribute Wireless Wipes™ in Canada.

5. Each Selling Shareholder represented in writing to the Company that the Shares would be purchased solely for the account of the shareholder and not for distribution. The Selling Shareholders further represented that, at the time of purchase, they did not have any agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. All Selling Shareholders have represented to the Company that they intend to sell their shares in the ordinary course of business.
6. None of the selling shareholders has had a material relationship with any of our affiliates during the past three years.

Amendment No. 1 to Registrati on Statement on Form S-1 Filed September 23, 2010 File No. 333-168897 Dear Mr. Guest: We have reviewed your registration statement and have the following comments. General 1. We note your response to comment two in our letter dated September 10, 2010. In view of the facts and circumstan ces surrounding your offering as we understand them and the fact that you are registering for resale 49.6% of your outstanding shares, it appears that the transaction might not be a secondary offe ring eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Ru le 415(a)(1)(i) and instead may be a primary offering. Please advise us of your basis for determin ing that the transaction is appropriately characterized as a transa ction that is eligible to be ma de under Rule 415(a)(1)(i). Please provide a detailed response. To assist you in preparing your response, you may wish to refer to Question 612.09 of the Division’s Co mpliance & Disclosure Interpretations for Securities Act Rules, which can be found on our website. 2. As revised, your filing indicates that you are a development stage company involved primarily in organizational activities to date with nominal assets and working capital, no revenues, no firm commitments for rais ing additional financing, no operations, no manufactured products, and no employees (other than your president). These and other facts suggest that your proposed business is commensurate in scope with the uncertainty ordinarily associated with a blank check company and should comply with Rule 419 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Please provide us with your analysis as to why you believe Rule 419 does not apply to your offering or revise the registration statement to comply with Ru le 419 and confirm that you will file post- effective amendments as required by Rule 419(d) and (e). Please note that the offer must contain the terms set fort h in Rule 419(e)(2). David Guest Berry Only Inc. October 6, 2010 Page 2 3. We have reviewed your response to commen t 26 in our letter dated September 10, 2010. It appears that you have only identified your statement of operations and statement of cash flows as those of a development stage en terprise. As previously requested, please also identify your balance sheet, statement of stockholders’ equity (d eficit) and notes to the financial statements as those of a devel opment stage enterprise. Refer to FASB ASC 915-205-45-4. 4. We have reviewed your response to commen t 27 in our letter dated September 10, 2010. As we previously requested, please revise your presentations of net income (loss) per share throughout the filing to round only to th e nearest cent. For example, you continue to present a loss per shar e of $0.002 for the year ended June 30, 2010 on page 35. Selling Shareholders, page 9 5. We note your response to comment nine in our letter dated September 10, 2010, particularly your statement that “each Selli ng Shareholder represented in writing to the Company that the Shares would be purchased solely for the account of the shareholder and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution in any jurisdiction where such sale or distribution would be preclude d.” On the basis of this statement, in your response you conclude th at “each Selling Shar eholder purchased the Shares to be resold in the or dinary course of business, and did not have any agreements or understandings, directly nor indirectly, with any person to distribut e the securities after purchase.” The prior statement does not appe ar to us to support this conclusion. Specifically, in our view the last clause of the statement (“in any jurisdiction where such sale or distribution would be precluded”) re nders the statement vague. As previously requested, please tell us whethe r the selling shareholders pu rchased the securities to be resold in the ordinary course of business a nd, at the time of purchase, please tell us whether the selling shareholders had any agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. 6. We note on page 10 that none of your selling sh areholders has had a material relationship with you other than as a share holder at any time within the past three years. Please confirm whether any of the selling shareholders has had a material relationship with any of your affiliates during the past three years. If such relationships existed, please disclose them.

Accordingly, the Company believes that each Selling Shareholder purchased the Shares to be resold in the ordinary course of business, and did not have any agreements or understandings, directly nor indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities after purchase.

Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed August 17, 2010 File No. 333-168897 Dear Mr. Guest: We have reviewed your registration statem ent and have the following comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provi de us with information so we may better understand your disclosure. Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing any amendment to your re gistration statement and the information you provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. General 1. It appears that you intend the securities being registered to be offered on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 of the Securities Act. If so, please check the Rule 415 box on the cover page of the registration statement. 2. We note that you currently have 5,950,000 shares outstanding, of which 3,000,000 are owned by your sole executive officer and director, Mr. Guest, and 2,950,000 are being registered for resale by the selling shareholde rs. Because of the nature and size of the transaction being registered relative to th e number of shares outstanding, your offering appears to be an “at the market offering of equity securities by or on behalf of the registrant” under Rule 415(a)(4) of Regulati on C. However, it appears that you might not eligible to conduct an offeri ng “at the market.” Therefor e, please advise us of the company’s basis for determining that the tran saction is appropriately characterized as a David Guest Berry Only Inc. September 10, 2010 Page 2 transaction that is eligible to be made unde r Rule 415(a)(1)(i) or, alternatively, please reduce the amount of shares bei ng registered to an amount that is less than or equal to no more than one-third of the amount of your outstanding securities held by non-affiliates.

Please reconcile this apparent inconsiste ncy or revise your disclosure accordingly throughout the registration statement. 6. In this risk factor and an appropriate part of your Busine ss section, please disclose the deadline for you to complete your annual distribution minimum to avoid the Agreement becoming null and void.

We note that throughout the prospectus you make affirmative statements about what you will do or what will happen, but it appear that many of these statements ar e predictive in nature or depend on factors beyond your control and thus are subject to a degree of uncerta inty that your use of the word “will” (and similar expressions) does not convey. See, for example, the statement on page 14 that “[d]emand . . . will be driven by several factors” and the statement on page 20 that you “will attend major tradeshow s.” Please revise these and similar statements throughout the prospectus to clar ify matters that you intend to do or believe will happen. 12.
