Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Katapult Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Katapult” or the “Company”), I am responding to the comments from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023 (File No. 001-39116) contained in the Staff’s letter dated November 4, 2024.
Set forth below are responses to the Staff’s comments. For convenience, the Staff’s comments are repeated below in italics, followed by responses to the comments.
Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Property Held for Lease, Net of Accumulated Depreciation and Impairment, page 74
1. We note property held for lease is depreciated using the income forecasting method. Please describe how depreciation is charged under this method when an item is leased for the full term of a contract, returned prior to completion of the contract term, or if the buyout option is exercised. In each case, show the periods when depreciation is charged.
Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment. The Company’s income forecasting method evaluates the patterns of the Company’s historical property held for lease portfolio to apply depreciation rates to the Company’s current property held for lease portfolio on a quarterly basis. Property held for lease is depreciated in the proportion of expected rents received to total expected rents received based on the Company’s historical data of lease performance. The Company also considers other qualitative factors, such as current and forecasted customer payment trends, and other macro-economic factors as a component of its forecasting methodology. Property held for lease is placed into a cohort for depreciation purposes (“lease pools”) based on the month and year of origination. On a quarterly basis, the Company applies its depreciation forecasting methodology to determine the rate of depreciation to apply to each of the three new monthly lease pools in the quarter as follows: (1) typical depreciation based on historical patterns of customer payments when an item is leased for the full term of a contract; (2) accelerated depreciation for impaired leases, based on historical patterns of lease impairment, and (3) accelerated depreciation for leases where a buyout option is exercised, based on historical patterns of lease buyouts. The Company takes the average of the pooled lease performances on each of these metrics and applies those percentages to determine depreciation costs for its current lease portfolio.
Customer returns are typically processed within the first 30 days of the applicable lease and, therefore, do not impact the Company’s depreciation calculations discussed above. Similarly, returns that occur after this initial 30-day period are netted off the lease pool for the applicable month in which the return occurs before the Company applies its income forecasting method to the new pool of leases to determine its depreciation rates for the applicable pool.
Below please find a chart with an illustrative example of the application of the Company’s income forecasting rates and resulting depreciation expense for a cohort of pooled leases with an aggregate cost basis of $1 million for a one-month vintage.
*this illustration assumes no returns
We hope the foregoing answers are responsive to your comments. Please do not hesitate to contact me at (603) 490-6577 or at kaitlin.folan@katapult.com if you have any questions regarding the foregoing or if we may provide any additional information.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter sets forth the
response of FinServ Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “FinServ”) to the comments
of the staff of the Division of Corporate Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission set
forth in your letter dated April 21, 2021, with respect to the above referenced Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4
(the “Registration Statement”). Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing Amendment
No. 2 to the Registration Statement (the “Revised Registration Statement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise

Set forth below is the Company’s
response to the Staff’s comments. For the Staff’s convenience, we have incorporated your comments into this response letter
in italics.
Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on April
2, 2021
Information About Katapult
Katapult’s Solution, page 84
1. Staff’s comment:
We note your response to
comments 4 and 5. Please further revise this section to provide your shareholders a better understanding as to the products Katapult offers
to a customer. Using the figures you provide in the Lease to Own Product Overview graphic on page 85 and items (1) through (4) preceding
that graphic, provide a few examples of typical lease-purchase transactions. For example, if you enter into a lease-purchase agreement
for a refrigerator that has a value of $1,000 as you referred to in your response to comment 6, show the dollar amounts paid by a typical
consumer(s) through the life of the transaction and concluding with the total amount paid at the end of the payment term.
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page 89 of the Revised Registration Statement
No. 2.
Katapult’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Material Agreements - Wayfair, page 110
2. Staff’s comment:
We note your disclosure
that Katapult is party to a provider agreement with Wayfair Inc. dated November 24, 2020. We also note the related risk factor disclosure
on page 30 that Wayfair represented approximately 72% and 58% of Katapult's origination dollars for the fiscal years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019, respectively. Please tell us how you considered filing this agreement as an exhibit to your registration statement pursuant
to Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K..
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that the agreement with Wayfair Inc. has been filed as Exhibit 10.11 to the Revised Registration
Statement No. 2.
Statement of Operations, page F-24
3. Staff’s comment:
We note your response to
comment 10 in which you state you do not have merchandise sales. However, we note your disclosure on page F-29 that while the contemplated
length of the [lease] agreement is typically 12 or 18 months, the average consumer continues to lease the property for 7 months because
the consumer either exercises the buyout options or returns the items prior to the end of the 12 or 18 month lease term. Please advise.
In addition, we note from your statement of cash flows an adjustment for the net book value of property buyouts of $31.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2020. Please tell us the nature of this item and, if related to exercises of buyout options, the corresponding
amount of revenue recognized..
Response:
The Company respectfully acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that Katapult’s rental revenue is derived from contractual arrangements that are
solely accounted for in accordance with the guidance in ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). We communicated in our response to comment
10 from the initial comment letter dated February 25, 2021, that the Company does not engage in the sale of merchandise. Such activity
would fall within the scope of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, for periods prior to January
1, 2020), and would be required to be separately stated in accordance with Rule 5-03(b)1(a).
On an infrequent basis, consumers
who have terminated their leases return property directly to the Company, such as when the return is outside of the relevant partner
retailer’s return policies. In these instances, the Company may elect to sell certain property previously on lease that has been
returned. Such sales comprise less than 1% of total revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. These immaterial
amounts are included as a component of “Other revenue” within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
income (loss). The Company acknowledges that certain terminology used in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and elsewhere
within Revised Registration Statement No. 1 does not clearly reflect these circumstances and may imply that the Company engages in merchandise
sales in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the Company has revised such terminology in Revised Registration Statement No. 2
by removing references to sales of property held for lease as well as returns of property held for lease, except to expand the disclosure
in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, under the caption “Other revenue” as follows (changes noted with strikethrough
and underlining): Other revenue consists of sub-lease revenue, and revenue from merchant partnerships, and infrequent
sales of property formerly on lease when customers terminate a lease and elect to return the property to the Company rather than the
Company’s retail partners. As a further example, the Company has revised the disclosure on page F-34 referred to in the Staff’s
comment as follows: “…the average consumer continues to lease the property for 7 months because the consumer either exercises
the buyout (early purchase) options or returns the items terminates the lease purchase agreement prior
to the end of the 12 or 18 month lease term.” Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, under the caption “Rental
revenue,” which has also been revised to remove potentially contradictory wording for additional disclosure over revenue recognition.
Conforming revisions have been made elsewhere in Revised Registration Statement No. 2.
2
The Company’s contractual
arrangements (lease purchase agreements) generally provide the consumer (a lessee) the right to use certain property, generally furniture,
consumer electronics, appliances, and other durable goods, that the Company concludes meets the definition of a lease pursuant to ASC
840. The Company’s contractual arrangements have a stated contractual term (for example, 12 or 18 months) and also contain options
to terminate the lease, renew the lease, or buyout (early purchase option) the underlying property in accordance with specific contractual
provisions. These contractual provisions are each evaluated using the guidance in ASC 840 to establish the initial lease term (one week,
two weeks, or one month) and the lease classification (operating) at contract inception. The Company also concludes that the subsequent
measurement and derecognition guidance in ASC 840 governs the subsequent resolution of the contractual terms (termination, renewal, and
early purchase options). As a result, the Company accounts for the entire lease purchase agreement in accordance with the guidance in
ASC 840, including payments made under an early purchase option, with the associated revenue included in “Rental revenue”
as separately stated on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) under Rule 5-03(b)1(c) “income
from rentals.”
On the consolidated statements
of cash flows, the $31.1 million related to the net book value of property buyouts, is a component of the total cost of revenue associated
with Rental revenue. Net book value of property buyouts is attributable to property held for lease for which a consumer exercises an early
purchase option and represents the estimated net book value of leased property at the time the early purchase option is exercised by the
consumer. Refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, under the caption “Property Held for Lease, Net” for
additional information. When evaluating lease performance and recording Rental revenue, the Company does not delineate lease payments
between renewal payments and buyout payments, as revenue from lease purchase agreements is viewed as a single revenue stream in accordance
with the Company’s analysis above.
*****
We respectfully request the
Staff’s assistance in completing the review of the Registration Statement, as amended, as soon as possible. Please contact Christian
O. Nagler of Kirkland & Ellis LLP at (212) 446-4660 or Brooks W. Antweil of Kirkland & Ellis LLP at (713) 836-3388 with any questions

Filed January 29, 2021
File No. 333-252558
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter sets forth
the response of FinServ Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “FinServ”) to the comments
of the staff of the Division of Corporate Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission set
forth in your letter dated February 25, 2021, with respect to the above referenced Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration
Statement”). Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is filing a revised Registration Statement on
Form S-4 (the “Revised Registration Statement”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Registration Statement.
The Company respectfully
advises the Staff that it has discovered a typographical error for “Gross profit” on the Katapult Consolidated Statement of
Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 on page F-24 of the Registration Statement. The corrected Gross
profit is $20,657 not $21,657. This typographical error had no impact on any other reported amounts or disclosures in the Registration
Statement. The Company has made the appropriate update in the Revised Registration Statement.
Set forth below is the
Company’s response to the Staff’s comments. For the Staff’s convenience, we have incorporated your comments into this
response letter in italics.
Form S-4 filed on January 29, 2021
Q: What will happen to FinServ’s securities
upon consummation of the business combination, page iv
1. Staff’s comment:
Please revise this section
to clarify, if true, that each outstanding share of FinServ common stock and each FinServ warrant will convert into one share of common
stock and one warrant, respectively, of Katapult upon consummation of the business combination.
Response:
The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that FinServ’s common stock and warrants will not convert into other
securities, but will remain outstanding as securities of New Katapult following the consummation of the business combination. The Company
has revised the disclosure on page iv of the Revised Registration Statement to further clarify that the common stock and warrants will
remain outstanding.
Summary
Merger Consideration, page 1
2. Staff’s comment:
Here, and in the Merger
Consideration section, please provide a chart that indicates exactly what the merger consideration would have been for each share of Katapult
preferred and common stock as of the date immediately prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement and as of the most recent practicable
date prior to effectiveness.
Response:
The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on pages 1 and 119 of the Revised
Registration Statement.

3. Staff’s comment:
Please revise to quantify,
if material, any expenses you have incurred in recent periods relating to cyber-attacks, employee or other internal misconduct, computer
viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar disruptions.
Response:
The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page 25 of the Revised Registration
Statement to clarify that is has not incurred any material expenses relating to cyber-attacks, employee or other internal misconduct,
computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar disruptions.

Katapult’s Solution, page 87
4. Staff’s comment:
Please revise this section
to discuss the total costs paid by a consumer that utilizes Katapult in order to lease-to-own durable goods. As appropriate, please also
provide illustrative examples or a chart disclosing the total costs paid by different consumers, including any fees and varying interest
rates depending upon the amount financed or any credit evaluation you perform on borrowers.
Response:
The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page 85 of the Revised Registration
Statement.

Please revise this section

Statement.
Katapult’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Key Performance Metrics Originations, page 101
6. Staff’s comment:
We note you define originations
as the acquisition value of the durable goods associated with lease-purchase agreements entered into during the period. This does not
appear consistent with the definition provided on page 126, where originations are defined as dollar amount of leases originated. Please
revise for consistency and clarity. Additionally, please provide us an example of an origination so that we can better understand how
originations are determined.
Response:
The Company
respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page 98 of
the Revised Registration Statement to clarify that originations are defined as the dollar amount of leases originated. For
example, if the Company enters into a lease-purchase agreement for a refrigerator that has a value of $1,000, the origination
value associated with that particular refrigerator is $1,000, regardless of the amount actually paid by the Company to the
retailer. If the Company enters into five lease-purchase agreements for the same refrigerator, the origination value
associated with those five refrigerators is $5,000, even if the Company received a volume discount from the retailer and only
paid $4,500 for such items.

Results of Operations, page 102
7. Staff’s comment:
While you discuss certain
factors to which changes in various line items are attributable, you do not quantify a large number of these factors nor analyze the underlying
business reasons for the changes. We believe your disclosures could be improved and clarified by ensuring that all material factors are
quantified and analyzed. In addition, please quantify the effects of changes in both price and volume on revenues categories, where appropriate
(for example, describe the drivers of revenue in product categories that experienced significant change).
Response:
The Company
respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page 99 of
the Revised Registration Statement.

Please identify the
lender with which you have a line of credit agreement. In addition, please file your agreement(s) with this lender pursuant to Item 601(b)(10)
of Regulation S-K or advise us regarding the basis for your determination the agreement(s) are not required to be filed.

the Revised Registration Statement to identify the lender with which the Company has a line of credit agreement. The Ninth

Please revise to separately
present revenue from services and product sales (i.e., rental revenue and merchandise sales). Refer to Rule 5-03(b)1 of Regulation S-X.
Response:
The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it does not have merchandise sales. Substantially all revenues are derived
from rental revenue and no other class of income represents greater than 10% of total revenue which would require separate classification.

11. Staff’s
comment:
You disclose that bad
debt expense is classified in cost of revenue within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. We note that this
presentation is not consistent with certain competitors in your industry that classify bad debt expense in revenue and that your actual
statement of operations presentation includes bad debt expense within operating expenses. Please revise as appropriate. Refer to ASC 842-30-
25-13.
Please also tell us
whether, at the lease commencement date, your assessment is that lease payments are probable of collection.
Response:
The Company respectfully
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised the footnote disclosure to reflect the presentation of bad debt expense in operating
expenses. The Company advises the Staff that the Company has not adopted ASC 842 and in accordance with ASC 840, classifies bad debt expense
within operating expenses.
The Company respectfully
advises the Staff that the Company has assessed that collection of minimum lease payments is probable through the initial lease term.
The Company will continue to assess probability of lease payment collection upon adoption of ASC 842.
Note 3. Property Held for Lease, Net, page F-49
12. Staff’s comment:
We note property held
for lease consists of furniture, consumer electronics, appliances, and other durable goods offered for lease-purchase in the normal course
of business. Please disclose balances and accumulated depreciation of major classes of property held for lease at each balance sheet date
or tell us why you believe such disclosure is not required. Refer to ASC 842-30-50-13 and ASC 360-10-50-1.
Response:
The Company
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises the Staff that in the Company’s lease to own transactions,
from an economic perspective the different classes of property held for lease are homogenous in nature. The Company’s property
held for lease encompasses a wide variety of items and the mix of property held for lease can vary over time. All property held for
lease is depreciated under the same income forecasting method using a proportion of rents received to total expected rents received
based on historical data. Depreciation and income allocations do not vary based on the types of property held for lease. Refer to
Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies under the caption “Property Held for Lease, Net” for additional
information. Further disclosure of such amounts would not provide additional benefit.

13. Staff’s comment:
Please quantify for
us the amount of property held for lease that was not on lease at the balance sheet dates.
Response:
The Company
respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment and advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on page F-36 of
the Revised Registration Statement to clarify that all property held for lease is on-lease for the periods presented.

ensuring that all material factors are quantified and analyzed. In addition, please quantify
the effects of changes in both price and volume on revenues categories, where appropriate
(for example, describe the drivers of revenue in product categories that experienced
significant change).
