Ficksman ● (310) 789-1290 ● dficksman@troygould.com File No. 05046-0003 September 24, 2025 BY VIA EDGAR Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance Washington, D.C. 20549 Attention: Daniel Morris Re: NextTrip, Inc. Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A Filed August 15, 2025 File No. 001-38015 Dear Mr. Morris: By letter dated September 11, 2025, the staff (the "Staff") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") provided NextTrip, Inc. (the "Company") with comments on the Company's Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, described above (the "Proxy Statement"). On behalf of the Company, this letter contains the Company's responses to the Staff's comments. The numbered responses and the headings set forth below correspond to the numbered comments and headings in the Staff's letter. Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A Proposal 3: Approval of the Issuance of More Than 19.99%, page 12 1. Please revise to illustrate how the issuance of the underlying shares would increase the percentage of common shares beneficially owned by the holders of your Series J, K, L, M, M, N, O and P preferred stock and warrants and notes, including your officers and directors and principal shareholders. COMPANY'S RESPONSE We have added two tables showing the information requested. The tables also reflect the shares issuable pursuant to the conversion of the newly created Series Q Convertible Preferred Stock. Securities and Exchange Commission Attention: Daniel Morris September 24, 2025 Page 2 2. We note your disclosure with respect to the Series K preferred, warrant, and unsecured promissory note offering. Please revise to clarify when the $1,000,000 and $220,000 loans were made. In addition, please identify the note holders. Also, please revise to clarify the operation of the cashless exercise feature for the "half-cashless warrants", filed as Ex. 4.3 to the Form 8-K filed on January 3, 2025. In this regard, we note that the value of a share is to be determined by the board of directors. Please explain. Also, please highlight any similar conversion features in the other securities subject to this proposal 3. COMPANY'S RESPONSE We have included the requested information regarding the promissory notes. As for the cashless exercise feature, we have added the disclosure that in determining the fair market value, in the case where the shares are traded on a public market, the directors will use the market price of the underlying stock as the date of exercise. We have also disclosed the percentage of outstanding common stock issuable upon conversion pursuant to each offering. 3. We note that this proposal 3 relates to the Series J, K, L, M, N, O, and P preferred offerings (including applicable debt conversions, warrant offerings, and note offerings) (together, "the offerings"). Please clarify whether the offerings covered by this proposal 3 are dependent upon or otherwise related to each other. In addition, please clarify whether the shares issuable pursuant to each offering exceed the Nasdaq threshold requiring a shareholder vote; or, alternatively, whether the offerings only exceed the Nasdaq threshold when viewed together (i.e., in the aggregate). With respect to these calculations, please disclose the percentage of outstanding common stock issuable upon conversion pursuant to each offering. COMPANY'S RESPONSE We have added a disclosure to make it clear that the offerings covered by Proposal 3 are not dependent upon each other. Additionally, we have added disclosure that the Exchange Cap applies to each of the series notwithstanding that conversion of a particular series may not result in the issuance of common shares in excess of the Cap in view of the possible Nasdaq position that the offerings will be integrated. We have added a disclosure as to the percentage of outstanding common stock issuable upon conversion of each offering. Securities and Exchange Commission Attention: Daniel Morris September 24, 2025 Page 3 Proposal 4: Approval of the Issuance of Common Stock to Certain Insiders, page 19 4. Please revise your disclosure to clarify the significance of whether the issuance of the shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series L Preferred to Messrs. Kerby and/or Monaco is treated as equity compensation. Specifically, your disclosure states that the issuance is deemed equity compensation because your shares are listed. However, you also state that you do not intend for the shares underlying the Series L offering to be deemed "equity compensation." As this disclosure may be confusing to investors, please clarify how your intent (that the shares not be deemed "equity compensation") affects this proposal. In that regard, please also (i) quantify the amount of the deemed equity compensation, if possible, and (ii) clarify whether there is a scenario in which the shares may not be deemed "equity compensation" (and, if so, whether you may, under that scenario, issue the shares regardless of whether the shareholders vote in favor of this proposal). COMPANY'S RESPONSE Under Nasdaq rules, the issuance to directors and officers of securities at a discount to the market price is "equity compensation" requiring stockholder approval. We have deleted the quoted phrase and added the disclosure that for accounting purposes, the issuance of shares in the applicable offerings will not be treated as equity compensation. 5. Please revise to clearly state how the issuance of shares to your insiders would increase the percentage of common stock holdings of Mr. Kerby and Mr. Monaco if the proposals are approved. In this regard, please also consider comment 1 above. Also, revise the second paragraph under "Reasons for Stockholder Approval" to disclose the conversion price and the price on the trading day immediately prior to entry into the agreement. COMPANY'S RESPONSE The table in the subsection "Effects of the Proposal" sets forth how the conversions affect the holdings of the insiders. We have also added disclosure regarding the conversion prices and market prices. Securities and Exchange Commission Attention: Daniel Morris September 24, 2025 Page 4 Proposal 5: Approval of the Issuance of More Than 19.99%, page 20 6. Please revise the third-to-last paragraph on page 20 to clarify the reference to October 7, 2025. COMPANY'S RESPONSE We have made the revision. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholders Matters, page 42 7. Revise your beneficial ownership tables to ensure you have disclosed for each entity the natural person or persons who directly or indirectly exercise(s) sole or shared voting or investment control. Refer to Item 403 of Regulation S-K. COMPANY'S RESPONSE We have made the requested revision. General 8. Please ensure that your disclosures regarding the matters described in this proxy statement are consistent with disclosures provided in the pending S-1 registration statement. COMPANY'S RESPONSE We plan on ensuring that the disclosures will be consistent. In this regard, we do not plan on filing an amendment to the Registration Statement until we have cleared comments on the Proxy Statement. If you have any questions regarding this response, please direct them to the undersigned at (818) 469-4200 or dficksman@troygould.com. Very truly yours, /s/ David L. Ficksman David L.

By
letter dated June 12, 2019, the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) provided Sigma Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) with
an additional comment after reviewing the Company’s June 4, 2019 response to the Staff’s comment letter.
This
letter sets forth the Company’s response to the Staff’s comment. The numbered response and the heading set forth below
correspond to the numbered comment and heading in the Staff’s letter dated June 12, 2019.

We
note your response to comment 3 in our letter dated May 23, 2019. Please tell us the specific reference within ASC 718 that
supports the recognition of the $225,000 prepaid asset for the non-vested shares of common stock granted to the non-employee
directors. It appears that the non-employee directors meet the definition of employees per ASC 718-20.
COMPANY’S
RESPONSE:
Based
on further research, the Company has determined that the accounting treatment previously applied to the subject grant of shares
of common stock to the Company’s non-employee directors was incorrect. As the error had a $0 impact on both the cash balance
and the net loss reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q, the Company has determined that it is not material to users of the
Company’s financial statements. Accordingly, the Company will correct such accounting treatment immediately and the result
of such correction will be reflected on the Balance Sheet included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended
June 30, 2019.

Please
provide us with a better understanding of the nature, terms, and recipients of the shares of common stock issued with restrictions
that generated $78,000 in compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and a prepaid asset of $225,000 as
of March 31, 2019. In addition, please provide us with your analysis of your accounting for these transactions, including
the specific reference to the authoritative literature.
COMPANY’S
RESPONSE:
On
January 1, 2019, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock subject to restrictions, pursuant to the Company’s 2013
Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), to each of the Company’s four non-employee directors, valued at the
closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2018, which was $1.50 per share, or $300,000 in total. Such
shares are to vest ratably over four quarterly installments, subject in each case to the applicable director’s continuing
service as a director. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the fair value of the shares that vested, $75,000, was expensed
as compensation and recorded as a reduction of prepaid board of directors compensation.
On
March 7, 2019, the Company issued 1,500 shares of common stock, pursuant to the 2013 Plan, to the Company’s Vice President
of Business Development, valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance of $2.00 per
share, or $3,000 in total, in connection with his achievement of performance milestones under Amendment No. 2, dated February
21, 2018, to his employment offer letter agreement, effective August 10, 2015. Such shares vested and were expensed immediately.
The
200,000 shares of common stock issued to directors were accounted for as follows:
Upon
Grant and Issuance – 01/01/2019:
Prepaid
Board of Directors Compensation
$ 300,000

The

Compensation
Expense
$ 3,000
Common
Stock
$ (1.50 )
Additional
Paid-in-Capital
$ (2,998.50 )
The
transactions were accounted for in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, using the fair-value based
method to measure compensation cost and recognizing that cost over the service period, which is the same as the vesting period
in this case.
The Company will include
additional information in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 regarding the
nature, terms, and recipients of the shares of common stock issued with restrictions that generated $78,000 in compensation expense
for the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and a prepaid asset of $225,000 as of March 31, 2019, in an effort to provide a better
understanding consistent with the Staff’s comment.

Dear Mr. Kluck:
By letter dated October 21, 2014, the staff
(the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission provided Sigma Labs, Inc. (the “Company”),
with a comment letter regarding the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on September 23, 2014 (the "Registration
Statement"). This letter contains the Company’s response to the Staff’s comment.
General
We note that you are conducting a primary
offering on a Form S-3. It does not appear that you are eligible to conduct this offering on a Form S-3 registration statement.
Transaction Requirement Instruction I.B.1 may be used to establish a registrant’s eligibility if the aggregate market value
of the voting and non-voting common equity held by the registrant’s non-affiliates is $75 million or more. Based on our review
of your latest Form 10-K, it does not appear that you meet this requirement. Instruction I.B.6(a) requires that the aggregate market
value of securities sold by or on behalf of the registrant pursuant to this instruction is no more than one-third of the aggregate
market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of the registrant. It does not appear that you meet
this requirement either. Please explain to us why you are eligible to use the Form S-3, providing calculations where applicable.
Alternatively, please amend your registration statement on an appropriate form.

Company Response
General Instruction I.B.1 to Form S-3 provides
that Form S-3 may be used by a registrant to register a primary offering if the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting
common equity held by non-affiliates of the registrant is $75 million or more. The instruction to General Instruction I.B.1 to
Form S-3 provides that the aggregate market value of the registrant’s outstanding voting and non-voting common equity shall
be computed by use of the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of such common
equity, in the principal market for such common equity as of a date within 60 days prior to the date of the filing.
As an initial matter, the only class of
common equity of the Company is its shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”).
The Registration Statement was filed on September 23, 2014. As of August 27, 2014, which is a date within 60 days prior to the
filing of the Registration Statement, the Company had 618,241,061 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, 39,628,500
shares were held by “affiliates” of the Company, as that term is defined by Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, as of August 27, 2014, the Company had 578,612,561 shares of Common Stock outstanding that
were held by persons other than affiliates of the Company.
Based on the average of the bid and asked
prices of the Company's Common Stock on the OTCQB on July 25, 2014, which is a date within 60 days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement, of $0.13075 per share, the aggregate market value of
the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of the Company was approximately $75,653,592. Accordingly, the Company
is eligible to use Form S-3 to register a primary offering.
Should you have any questions regarding
the foregoing, please feel free to contact me at (310) 789-1207.

Dear Mr.
Owings:
By letter
dated December 29, 2010, the staff (the “Staff”) of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC) provided this
company, Sigma Labs, Inc. (fka as Framewaves, Inc.), with comments to this
company’s Amendment No. 2 to Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on
December 20, 2010 (the “Form
8-K”).
This
letter contains the responses of Sigma Labs, Inc. to the Staff’s
comments. The numbers of the responses and the headings set forth
below correspond to the numbered comments and headings in the December 29, 2010
letter from the Staff. In addition, we have filed with the SEC,
concurrently with filing this response letter, Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to
the Form 8-K.
Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Plan of Operations, page 17
1. We have
amended the Form 8-K to include the following discussion on future revenues we
expect to generate from current contracts:
We expect
to generate revenues primarily by marketing and selling our manufacturing and
materials technologies. However, for the period from our inception
through September 30, 2010, we generated revenues from engineering consulting
services we provided during this period.
For the
period commencing October 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, we expect to
continue to refine and finalise our technologies for commercialization. However,
until such time, we anticipate that we will earn revenues to finance our
development activities and other operating costs mainly from offering consulting
services in connection with our area of expertise, i.e., materials and
manufacturing technologies. We have four current/active consulting contracts
with respect to which we expect to perform and generate future
revenues.
Specifically,
we have two consulting contracts with Honeywell International, Inc. concerning
the application of our IPQA technology to the manufacturing of aero-engines, and
we expect to generate approximately $60,000 in revenues under these agreements
with Honeywell upon their completion. Additionally, we anticipate
revenues of approximately $27,663 under a consulting contract with ALCOA, which
we expect to complete in early 2011. This contract involves advisory
activities associated with IPQA technology for ALCOA in connection with its
development of inertia friction-welding for an advanced aluminum
alloy. Lastly, we expect to earn revenues under another contract with
the United States Air Force (“USAF”) in connection with the development of a
closed-loop control system applicable to electronic beam direct manufacturing.
We anticipate revenues of approximately $277,000 for the three-months ended
December 31, 2010 under the USAF contract, and up to an additional $520,000 upon
completion of the project.
We are
not making any product sales of our IPQA or other technologies under these
contracts – activities are limited to advising and consulting concerning our
materials/manufacturing technologies expertise and background.
The
Honeywell, ALCOA and USAF contract are all fixed price contracts, for which we
will receive a specified fee regardless of our cost to perform under such
contract. In connection with entering into these fixed-contract consulting
arrangements, we are required to estimate our costs of
performance. Accordingly, if we under-estimate the cost to complete a
contract, we will still be required to complete the work specified under such
contract, which could result in a loss to us. To actually earn a
profit on these contracts, we must accurately estimate costs involved and assess
the probability of meeting the specified objectives, realizing the expected
units of work or completing individual transactions, within the contracted time
period. We expect to recognize revenues on these contracts, including
a portion of estimated profit, as costs are incurred. Therefore, if
any of these contracts is cancelled or re-negotiated after work has been
performed, previously recognized revenue would be reversed and charged to
earnings at that time. The reversal of previously recognized revenue
could adversely affect our financial results. In addition, we expect
to review these contracts quarterly and adjust revenues to reflect our current
expectations as to the total anticipated costs of each
contract. These adjustments may affect the timing and amount of
revenue recognized and could adversely affect our financial
results.

2. Please
see below for our response to comment 9 of the Staff’s November 22, 2010
letter:
We
accounted for the purchase agreement with Technology Management Company (“TMC”) as an
acquisition of assets and not a business. We set forth below some
background concerning the development of the IPQA assets, as well as the
operations of Beyond 6 Sigma division of TMC prior to the sale of such
assets.
In May
2005, Mark Cola and Vivek Dave (each of whom is currently an officer and a
director of Sigma Labs, Inc., collectively, the “Principals”) formed
Beyond6 LLC (the “LLC”) while each was
employed at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (“LANL”). At that time,
the LLC was conducted as an “after hours” operation, and the predominant focus
was the development of the IPQA technology and its application in the commercial
world. The IPQA technology was originally conceived and developed by the
Principals. Between 2005 and 2006, while still employees of the LANL,
the Principals refined the IPQA technology and offered preliminary
demonstrations of the technology to a few test clients with whom they had
developed relationships at LANL, and who expressed interest in the technology
were it ever commercialized. During this period, however, the LLC did
not have a finalized software product, and no sales of the IPQA technology were
made. Accordingly, the LLC recorded no revenues in connection IPQA
technology during this period. However, the costs incurred by the LLC in
connection with presenting the demonstrations were funded and reimbursed by the
test clients.
In June
2006, the Principals were hired by and assigned to a new division of TMC: Beyond
6 Sigma (hereinafter, “TMC Division”). TMC
Division was essentially formed around the Principals and the ideas, test-client
relationships, etc. they had developed regarding the IPQA
technology. The goal of this arrangement was to engage the Principals
to further refine the IPQA technology toward commercialization. The
Principals were also engaged to provide engineering services unrelated to TMC’s
core business and unrelated to the IPQA technology via the new TMC
Division. In connection with the Principals employment by TMC
Division, TMC acquired the Principals’ rights in the IPQA technology and related
assets in consideration for equity in TMC. At the time of TMC’s
acquisition of the rights to the IPQA technology, the technology was still in
its infancy and not ready for commercialization. Accordingly, the
assets acquired in connection with this acquisition were limited to intangible
assets, ideas and related intellectual property concerning this
technology. In addition, the Principals also brought with them the
relationships (i.e., test clients) they had developed while at LANL (and
utilized during their time at the LLC) in the hope of continuing to leverage
such relationships to further test, develop and refine the IPQA technology while
employed at TMC Division. These were relationships/arrangements that
originated during the Principals’ tenure at LANL, and TMC/TMC Division has no
connection to such relationships prior to TMC’s involvement with the
Principals.
Between
2006 and 2010, as employees of TMC Division, the Principals further refined the
IPQA technology. During this time, significant effort was placed on the further
development of software algorithms required to commercialize the IPQA platform.
In the course of their development work at TMC Division, the technology never
reached commercialization. Accordingly, TMC/TMC Division could not commercially
exploit the technology during the time of the Principals’ employment
thereat. Similar to the activities at the LLC concerning the IPQA
technology, the Principals continued to develop this technology with interested
test clients, who reimbursed TMC Division the costs of such
demonstrations. Accordingly, TMC/TMC Division never earned revenues
from exploitation of the IPQA technology since the Principals remained primarily
engaged in research and development activities concerning the technology, and
there was no bona fide final product for commercial exploitation. As
noted above, TMC Division did provide unrelated engineering services to some
customers and recorded revenues with respect to such services; but to be clear,
no revenues were actually generated from or in connection with exploitation of
IPQA. With respect to the IPQA technology, the operations of TMC Division were
limited to research and development activities. Although presentations of the
technology were made, this was undertaken in the spirit of research and
development and further refinement of the technology.
In early
2010, TMC determined it was no longer interested in funding further development
of the IPQA technology. As a result, TMC and the Principals decided to terminate
their relationship. The intellectual property and related assets
underlying the IPQA technology were sold to a new entity formed by the
principals, B6 Sigma, Inc. (now a wholly owned subsidiary of Sigma Labs, Inc.,
and together with Sigma Labs, Inc., the “Company”). In
connection with the sale, TMC/TMC Division retained only those assets not
contributed by the Principals at the time of their initial employment with TMC,
i.e., cash, legal documents concerning the formation of the division and certain
liabilities. This sale of intellectual property assets was accounted for as an
acquisition of assets and not a business.
Following
their separation from TMC, the Principals raised outside funds to finance
further development of the IPQA technology with the hope of bringing it to
commercialization. The Principals have further refined and tested the
IPQA technology, including further demonstrations to test clients. At this time,
the technology is in its final stages of development and continuing to undergo
trials at test clients’ facilities. Additionally, since separating
from TMC/TMC Division, the Principals have acquired or are developing additional
technologies (i.e., other than IPQA), which they plan to refine and bring to
commercialization at the Company.
The
acquisition under the purchase agreement with TMC (the “Purchase
Agreement”) comprised mostly to the IPQA assets, and was
characterized as a sale/purchase of assets and not a business. Our reasons for
this characterization are as follows:
· Revenue Producing
Activity. As noted earlier, the IPQA technology did not generate any
revenues at TMC Division since the Principals were primarily engaged in research
and development activities concerning the technology. Accordingly,
there was no revenue producing activity at TMC Division with respect to the IPQA
assets acquired by the Company.
· Scope of
Operations. TMC Division was primarily engaged in the development of the
IPQA assets for commercialization. Since separating from TMC/TMC Division, the
Principals have acquired or are developing additional technologies (i.e., other
than IPQA), which they plan to develop and bring to commercialization at the
Company. Accordingly, the scope of the Company’s activities is
broader than the development activities undertaken at TMC
Division. Specifically, the Company is investing in the development
and ultimate commercialization of other technologies, the development of which
was not undertaken at TMC Division.
· Customer
Base/Market
Distribution System. The Principals’ activities at TMC Division were
limited to further development of the IPQA technology. The technology
never reached maturity/commercial application during their time at
TMC. Since there was no commercial product to sell, there was no
customer base or distribution system. Although presentations of the technology
were made, this was undertaken in the spirit of research and development and
further refinement of the technology. Upon being employed by TMC, the Principals
brought with them these relationships (i.e., test clients) they had developed
while at the LLC and LANL in the hope of continuing to leverage such
relationships to further test, develop and refine the IPQA technology in the
course of their work at TMC Division. These relationships originated
during the Principals’ tenure at LANL, and TMC had no connection to such
relationships prior to its involvement with the
Principals. Accordingly, in connection with their separation from
TMC/TMC Division, the Principals reacquired their rights in the IPQA technology
and related assets, including any contracts concerning the testing of the IPQA
technology with test clients (which relationships and contracts originated with
the Principals).
· Physical
Facilities/Employee Base. Under the Purchase Agreement, the
Company/Principals did not acquire any employees of TMC Division or any
facilities or real property belonging to either TMC or TMC
Division.
Based on
the foregoing, we concluded that the operations of TMC Division did not
constitute a business, and we accounted for the transactions contemplated under
the Purchase Agreement as an asset acquisition and not the acquisition of a
business.
Accordingly,
we do not believe that historical or pro forma financial statements for TMC
Division are required pursuant to Rules 8.04 and 8.05 of Regulation
S-X. In addition, TMC informs us that they have never maintained
stand-alone financial statements for TMC Division, and such financial statements
are not available.

letter:
For the
reasons set forth in response to comment 2 above, we do not believe TMC Division
to be a predecessor company of the Company. In sum, we do not believe
that TMC Division’s operations comprised a business, and the scope of the
Company’s current operations is broader than the activities undertaken at TMC
Division.

see below for our response to comment 11 of the Staff’s November 22, 2010
letter:
TMC was
founded in the early 1990’s in response to the collapse of the Soviet Union and
new legislation creating the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program,
commonly known as the Nunn-Lugar Act after its authors. The Act
authorized U.S. assistance in the elimination of Soviet weapons of mass
destruction. TMC became the first legally recognized U.S.
international program support company widely operating in the Former Soviet
Union, which remains a competitive advantage in providing in-country
services. Over the last 10+ years, TMC has expanded its services to
provide a variety of management, technical and logistics support services to
government agencies.
At the
time the TMC Division was formed, TMC served U.S. Government clients in
achieving success in difficult geo-cultural environments where legal, political,
