File No. 814-01038
Dear
Ms. Fettig:
The
following sets forth the responses of Point Capital, Inc. (the "Company") to the questions raised by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on a conference call held August 26, 2015 among Cristina Fettig, Adam Wasserman,
chief financial officer of the Company, and David Lubin, general counsel to the Company.
1. Section
23(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Act") prohibits
a closed-end fund from issuing securities for services or property other than for cash
or securities. The 6,126,240 shares which were issued in March 2014 were issued to Network
1 Financial Services as part of the offering costs; such shares were issued as part of
the securities issued by the Company to Network 1. The offering through Network 1 was
done prior to the Company electing to be treated as a business development company (the
N-54A was filed by the Company on October 4, 2013; the Form D filed by the Company in
September 10, 2013 regarding the offering). The 500,000 shares issued to a consultant
in July 2014 were issued for introductions said individual made on behalf of the Company.
There were no services provided, only introductions and contact information to investment
bankers and other potential capital sources. We could have paid said consultant entirely
in cash, but since he expressed an interest in acquiring equity in the Company we compensated
him partially in cash and partially by issuing him shares. The offering price was based
on an above marked price as well as an increase from the prior offering price.
2. The
Company disclosed that it paid offering costs of approximately $1.2 million in an offering
which generated approximately $2.2 million. The Company determined that the offering
costs were reasonable as Network 1 was the only investment banker willing to raise funds
for the Company; after negotiating the terms of the offering, including their compensation,
the Company determined it was reasonable to pay such offering expenses as compared to
not having any funds to operate. Although the shareholders of the Company did not approve
these offering expenses, the expenses of the offering were provided in the private placement
documentation received by all the investors. As stated above, the offering commenced
prior to the Company electing to become a BDC.

Grand Avenue, 5 Patriot Center, Fl. 2 Englewood, NJ 07631 O: (201)408-5126 F: (201)408.5125
3. Item
9-A of the Form 10-K indicates that the Company has material weakness as a result of
inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective controls. The Company has begun to rectify
this situation by appointing two independent members to the Board who will also be on
the audit committee. Moreover, the Company recently appointed Adam Wasserman as the Company's
Chief Financial Officer. Since 1999, Mr. Wasserman has been Chief Executive Officer for
CFO Oncall, Inc., which provides chief financial officer services to various public companies.
Currently, Mr. Wasserman also serves as the chief financial officer of Cleantech Solutions
International, Inc. a position he has held since December 2012, Pen, Inc. a position
he has held since September 24, 2014 and LegacyXChange, Inc., a position he has held
since November 2014. In addition to Mr. Wasserman's time, CFO Oncall has full-time dedicated
professional associates who assist Mr. Wasserman with our financial matters and controls
and procedures. Mr. Wasserman is currently setting up procedures to segregate cash functions,
approval functions, and other controls and procedures to ensure that the initiation of
transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed
by separate individuals
4. Prior
to the execution of a custody agreement with U.S. Bank National Association in August
2014, the securities held in the name of the Company were held in deposit in the custody
of the Company in a locked safe. Although the former Chief Financial Officer of the Company
was the sole custodian of the securities during this time, the Company acknowledges that
this procedure was not in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Investment
Act.
5. Section
56(a) of the Investment Act requires that at least a majority of the Board of Directors
be composed of independent directors. Upon the appointment of Messrs. Stone and Schiller
on July 30, 2014, the Company had a Board which consisted of a majority of independent
directors. Moreover, upon the appointment of said two individuals and the resignation
of Mr. Brand from the audit committee, the Company had an audit committee which consisted
solely of independent directors.
6. Section
(a)(2)(C) of the Investment Act requires that the holders of the senior securities have
the right to elect at least two directors. Section 4(b) of the Certificate of Designation
of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred") provides that
if at any time the holders of the Preferred are otherwise entitled under the Investment
Act to elect a majority of the Board, the number of directors shall be automatically
increased and the holders of the Preferred shall be entitled to elect additional directors,
together with the two directors that the holders are entitled to elect. Therefore, the
Preferred provides that not only do the holders of the Preferred have the right to two
directors, but if the number of directors are increased the holder of the Preferred has
the right to elect a majority of the Board. Although the holder of the Preferred has
not elected to exercise their right to elect at least two directors, the holder of the
Preferred has such right.
Section
(a)(2)(E) of the Investment Act requires that the class of stock shall have complete priority over any other class as to distribution
of assets and payments of dividends. Section 5 of the Certificate of Designation of the Preferred provides that the holders of
the Preferred shall be entitled to a priority before any distribution or payment to the holders of junior securities. Although
Section 3(a) of the Certificate of Designation provides that the holders of the Preferred are entitled to dividends on an as-converted
basis, the Company has no intention to pay dividends and with the consent of the holder of the Preferred said section can be amended.
2
Section
61(a)(3)(B) of the Investment Act provides that a business development company can issue stock options to officers and directors
under certain specified circumstances. Although the Company issued the options as disclosed in the Company's Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company obtained the approval of the shareholders for the executive compensation at the annual
meeting of its shareholders held on May 20, 2015. As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 29,
2015, 27,887,025 of the 28,068,692 of the votes adopted the non-binding proposal and received the approval of its shareholders
for the issuance thereof.
8. As
indicated on the schedule of investments filed with the Form 10-K, the Company does not
possess any non-qualifying assets.
9. On
the consolidated statement of operations filed with the Form 10-K, all individual expenses
in excess of 5% of total expenses are disclosed separately pursuant to Regulation S-X
Article 607 (2)(b).
10. The
statement of assets and liabilities consists of cash and cash equivalents which includes
cash deposits and a money market account held at our bank and brokerage firms in accordance
with Article 604 (12)(b) of Reg. S-X.
11. There
are currently no open payables to directors or trustees of the Company.
12. The
taxes indicated in the cash flow statement related to minimum state taxes paid to the
State of New Jersey.
13. In
accordance with audit guide of investment companies Chapter 7, Section 75, we believe the carrying amount reported in the consolidated
balance sheets for Redeemable Series A, Convertible Preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, 5,000,000 shares authorized, 1,000,000
shares designated; 4,000 and none issued and outstanding ($100 per share redemption value) approximate the fair market value of
$400,000 based on the short-term maturity of these instruments, which also equals the redemption value reflected on the consolidated
balance sheets. We will disclose such information in future filings in our notes to consolidated financial statements.
14. Attached
to this letter please find a copy of the Board resolution authorizing the amount and
the form of the bond as disclosed in the Form 40-17G filed with the Commission on January
26, 2014.

The Company
hereby acknowledges that:
1. Should
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, have
no further questions or comments, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing of the
reports filed by the Company with the Commission.
2. The
action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in their filings.
3. The
Company may not assert the staff's comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.
The
Company respectfully submits via EDGAR the foregoing responses to the Commission. Please address any further questions or comments

Re: Gold Swap Inc.
Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed on March 30, 2011, as amended May 11, 2011
Dear Mr. Owings:
On behalf of Gold Swap Inc. (the “Company”), we are herewith filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") Amendment No.2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (the "Amendment”) in response to the Commission's comment letter, dated May 27, 2011 (the “Comment Letter”), with reference to the Amendment filed with the Commission on May 11, 2011.
In addition to the Amendment, the Company supplementally responds to all the Commission's comments as follows:
General
1. We note your response to comment one in our letter dated April 27, 2011 as to why you are not a blank check company. Please include this analysis in your filing and include a specific business plan for the next twelve months. In disclosing your business plan, also provide a description of your day-to-day operations.
Response: As previously disclosed, since its inception the Company had a specific objective - to facilitate the broad-scale recycling of jewelry and other items containing precious metals. In order to effectuate this business, management is taking the concrete steps specified in the Amendment and outlined below. There is no day-to-day operations other than insuring that the timelines set forth below are achieved.
Months 1-3: finalize selection of third party collection agents and refiners and execute and deliver definitive agreements with such parties
Completion of a bag and envelope system for the customer to request a kit that could be tracked by the customer during the refining process
Complete back-end processing of the Company's website
Months 3-6: upon completion of the above tasks, the Company intends to commence a marketing campaign
These processes take time, and given the fact that the Company's officers and directors do not devote more than 30 hours a week to our operations there is no guarantee when the processes will be completed. There are also no current day-to-day operations; even when the milestones are achieved, management will not be expected to work full-time for the Company.
The Amendment has been revised accordingly.
2. We note your response to comment two in our letter dated April 27, 2011, however, it does not appear that you have revised your websites or disclosure accordingly. Please reconcile the information on your websites and in your registration statement so that material information about your company is consistent. Also revise your disclosure throughout the filing to clarify whether you have commenced operations and to state whether you are doing business under additional names.
Response: The Amendment and the websites have been revised to provide that the sites are owned by the Company. Neither website is currently functioning, and the Amendment has been revised accordingly.
Prospectus Summary, page 1
The Offering, page 1
3. Please revise tabular net loss and net cash used by operating activities under Going Concern Considerations to reflect financial information through March 31, 2011.
Response: The Amendment provides net loss and net cash used by operating activities under Going Concern Considerations through March 31, 2011 as requested by the Commission.
Description of Securities, page 16
4. We note your response to comment eight in our letter dated April 27, 2011, that you do not have any charter or bylaw provisions specifying requisite voting rights. We also note Article 6.10 of your bylaws, filed as exhibit 3.3 to this registration statement which states “[a]ny other action shall be authorized by a majority of the votes cast in favor of or against such action . . . .” Please revise or advise.
Response: There are no charter or bylaw provisions specifying voting rights - as provided in the Registration Statement, the holders of shares of common stock have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or cumulative voting rights. The provision of the bylaws provided for in the Comment Letter does not indicate or infer that shareholders have any specific voting rights as said provision is in compliance with the provisions of the New York Business Corporations Law. Had any provision of the charter or bylaws granted shareholders of the Company specific voting rights or expanded on the rights provided for under New York law, such rights would have been described.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 21
5. We note your response to comment 10 in our letter dated April 27, 2011. As previously requested, provide an approximate timeline as to when you expect to incur the costs listed at the bottom of page 20, and state what you plan to do if you raise some, but not all of the $150,000. Also state whether there is a maximum amount of funds that your officers and directors have agreed to lend. In this regard, we note your statement on page F-9 that your ability to continue as a going concern includes “partial reliance” on related party financing.
Response: The Company has revised the disclosure in accordance with the comments of the Commission - the approximate timeline as to when the expenses will be incurred as well as what the Company plans to do if not all the funds are raised is provided for in the Amendment. The Amendment also provides that there is no maximum amount of funds the officers and directors have agreed to lend.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, page 25
6. We note your response to comment 13 in our letter dated April 27, 2011, but it does not appear that you revised your disclosure accordingly. Please identify each of your promoters and state the nature and amount of anything of value received or to be received from the company.
Response: The Company has revised the Amendment in accordance with the Comment Letter to provide that none of the promoters has received anything of value or is to receive anything of value other than as set forth in the Amendment.
The Company respectfully submits via EDGAR the foregoing responses to the Commission and the Amendment. Please address any further questions or comments to the undersigned at the above-referenced telephone and fax numbers. Thank you very much.

(the “Company”), we are herewith filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") Amendment No.1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (the "Amendment”) in response to the Commission's comment letter, dated April 27, 2011 (the “Comment Letter”), with reference to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Commission on March 30, 2011.
In addition to the Amendment, the Company supplementally responds to all the Commission's comments as follows:
General
1. We note your disclosure that you are not and do not intend to be a blank check company and have no plans or intentions to merge with an unidentified company. However, it still appears that you are a blank check company as defined by Rule 419 of Regulation C in view of the following:
Your disclosure indicates that you are a development stage company issuing penny stock;
You have not generated any revenues and have a net loss of $1,078,505 since inception;
You have not yet commenced operations and it is unclear whether you will be able to do so within the next 12 months;
You have no assets, except for $47,480 in cash; and
You will be unable to implement your business plan without obtaining substantial additional funding.
In the adopting release of Rule 419, the Commission stated that “it will scrutinize registered offerings for attempts to create the appearance that the registrant is not a development stage company or has a specific business plan, in an effort to avoid the application of Rule 419.” Therefore, please revise the registration statement to comply with Rule 419 and prominently disclose that you are a blank check company. Alternatively, please provide us with a detailed analysis addressing each of the issues described above in explaining why you believe the company is not a blank check company, and include a specific business plan for the next twelve months. In providing the specific business plan, the company should also disclose its day-to-day operations.
Response: The Company is not a blank check company as defined in Rule 419. Pursuant to Rule 419(a)(2), a blank check company is a development stage company that 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, or other entity or person; and is issuing "penny stock," as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Since its inception, the Company had a specific business plan - it was formed to facilitate the broad-scale recycling of jewelry and other items containing precious metals. As discussed in the “Description of Business”, although the Company has nominal assets and has not conducted business or generated revenues since inception, the Company intends to focus the business of direct-from-consumer, procurement and aggregation of precious metals to be recycled.
(i) Although the Company is a development stage company (since it has not generated any revenues from operations) issuing shares for less than $5.00, the Company has a specific business purpose. Furthermore, the Company has no intention to engage in any merger or acquisition with another entity.
(ii) The fact that the Company has not generated revenues and has a net loss does not render the Company a blank check company. As clearly stated in the Amendment, the Company is a development stage company with a clear, specified business plan.
(iii) Management is currently exploring agreements with collection agents and refiners that would insure and process the metals. By outsourcing this function much of the required insurance, liability, and licensing can be handled by this third party. In addition, the Company is working on a bag and envelope system for the customer to request a kit that would be sent and tracked by the customer through the entirety of the refining process. The Company is waiting on a final proposal from an outside company to develop the back end processing of the website.
(iv) Although the current sole asset of the Company is cash, this does not render the Company a blank check company. As stated above, management is actively seeking to pursue its business; however, until agreements are met with third parties (such as the collection agents and refinders).

2. The disclosure in your filing regarding the status of your operations and the name under which you will operate is inconsistent with statements made on your website. For example, we note the following:
You state in the “Prospectus Summary” section and throughout the filing that “[your] operations have been limited to organizational, start-up, and capital formation activities.” However, both of your websites state that you are a “well established Company” and that you have been evaluating gold for “almost 20 years.”
Your websites indicate that you are operating as “Bucks for Bling” and “Get more for your Gold” and there is no mention of Gold Swap Inc. on these websites.
Your websites appear to allow sellers to request mailing kits at this time; however, the disclosure in the “Process” section on page 17 of your filing seems to indicate that you will send such kits, but that you have not yet done so.
Please note these are examples only and reconcile the information in your website and registration statement so that material information about your company is consistent. Also revise your disclosure throughout the filing to clarify whether you have commenced operations and to state whether you are doing business under additional names.
Response: The Company has reconciled the information on its website with the information in the Amendment.
Cover Page of the Registration Statement
3. We note your disclosure here and elsewhere in your filing that the price of the shares to be registered in this offering is based upon the original purchase price to selling shareholders with an increase because the shares will be “liquid” and registered. Please explain the basis for your statement that these shares will be liquid, in light of your disclosure elsewhere in the filing that there is not currently a market for your stock and that a public market may never develop. Alternatively, delete your statement regarding the liquidity of shares to be issued.
Response: The Company has deleted the disclosure regarding the shares being liquid in accordance with the comments of the Commission, including such disclosure provided for in the "Determination of the Offering Price" and "Plan of Distribution" sections.
Prospectus Cover Page
4. Please move the delaying amendment to the front cover page of the registration statement, where it is required to appear. See Item 501(a) of Regulation S-K.
Response: The Company has moved the delaying amendment language to the front cover page.
5. Please revise your disclosure to state that selling shareholders will receive all of the proceeds from this offering and disclose the anticipated proceeds to selling shareholders on a per share and aggregate basis. See Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation SK.
Response: The Company has revised the disclosure in accordance with the comments of the Commission; however, the per share offering price of ten cents was previously provided for but the Amendment provides for the aggregate anticipated proceeds to the selling shareholders.

8. Please describe any provisions in your charter or bylaws specifying the vote required
by security holders to take action and describe any liquidation rights. See Items

Total Operating Expenses, page 21
9. We note your disclosure of $1,075,000 for compensation expense, which represents substantially all of your operating expenses for 2010. The disclosure on page F-4 suggests you issued 21.5 million shares with a value of $.05 per share in determining the amount of compensation expense. If so, please expand your discussion to indicate such including the recipients of such shares, the period of the services rendered and the basis for the fair value assigned.
Response: The Amendment has been revised in accordance with the comments of the Commission

Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 21
10. We note that your auditor has expressed a going concern opinion. Please disclose your plan to raise additional capital, including any anticipated sources of capital. In this regard, we note that you estimate requiring a minimum of $150,000 in the next 12 months to commence operations. Also disclose an approximate timeline as to when you expect to incur the costs listed at the bottom of page 20 and state what you plan to do if you raise some, but not all of the $150,000. Note that any registrant that has identified a material liquidity deficiency must disclose the course of action the registrant will take to remedy the deficiency. See Item 303(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.
Response: As provided in the Amendment, the Company has no agreements or arrangements with any third party to obtain the minimum amount of capital estimated to operate the business for the next 12 months. After the Registration Statement is declared effective, management might seek to talk to third parties to attempt to obtain either debt or equity financing, but currently no such discussions are contemplated. To remedy the material liquidity deficiency, management hopes and anticipates that some of the officers and directors will lend the Company funds if and when necessary, and the Amendment has been revised to provide as such.
11. Please disclose whether or not you have any material commitments for capital expenditures relating to the next 12 months. See Item 303(a)(2) of Regulation S-K. If none, then supplementally advise.
Response: Currently the Company has no commitments for capital expenditures in the next 12 months and has revised the Amendment accordingly.
Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons, page 21
12. Please discuss any involvement in bankruptcy and legal proceedings over a ten rather
than five year period. See Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.
Response: The Amendment has been revised to include any involvement in bankruptcy and legal proceedings for a ten year period.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, page 25
13. Please identify each of your promoters and state the nature and amount of anything of
value received or to be received by each promoter, directly or indirectly, from the company, and the nature and amount of any assets, services or other consideration therefore received or to be received by the company. See Item 404(c) of Regulation S-K and Rule 405 of Regulation C.
Response: The Amendment has been revised to provide that each promoter did not receive anything of value received or to be received by each promoter, directly or indirectly, from the Company.
