REQUEST
FOR ACCELERATION OF EFFECTIVENESS
Pursuant
to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. (the “Registrant”)
hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-262408), as amended (the “Registration
Statement”), so that it may become effective at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on May 12, 2022, or as soon as practicable thereafter.
The
Registrant hereby authorizes Michael H. Sproule, of Akabas & Sproule, to orally modify or withdraw this request for acceleration.
The
Registrant hereby acknowledges that:
(i)
should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare
the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;
(ii)
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective,
does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement;
and
(iii)
the Registrant may not assert comments of the Commission or the staff and the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement
as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
This
letter also confirms that the Registrant is aware of its obligations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in particular the
obligation to properly disseminate the prospectus in advance of sales. No underwriter is involved in the selling of the securities to
be registered under the subject Registration Statement.
This
letter also informs the SEC that, as no underwriter is involved in the selling of the securities to be registered under the subject Registration
Statement, no amount of compensation is planned to be allowed or paid to any underwriter and no arrangements exist between the Registrant
or the selling shareholders and any underwriter or other broker dealer.
We
request that we be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone call to Mr. Sproule at (212) 308-8505, or in his absence David E. Bamberger,
of Akabas & Sproule, at (917) 562-5398.

FOR ACCELERATION OF EFFECTIVENESS
Pursuant
to Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Transportation and Logistics Systems, Inc. (the “Registrant”)
hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-262408), as amended (the “Registration
Statement”), so that it may become effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on February 8, 2022, or as soon as practicable
thereafter.
The
Registrant hereby authorizes Michael H. Sproule, of Akabas & Sproule, to orally modify or withdraw this request for acceleration.
The
Registrant hereby acknowledges that:
(i)
should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare
the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;
(ii)
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective,
does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration Statement;
and
(iii)
the Registrant may not assert comments of the Commission or the staff and the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement
as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
This
letter also confirms that the Registrant is aware of its obligations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in particular the
obligation to properly disseminate the prospectus in advance of sales. No underwriter is involved in the selling of the securities to
be registered under the subject Registration Statement.
This
letter also informs the SEC that, as no underwriter is involved in the selling of the securities to be registered under the subject Registration
Statement, no amount of compensation is planned to be allowed or paid to any underwriter and no arrangements exist between the Registrant
or the selling shareholders and any underwriter or other broker dealer.
We
request that we be notified of such effectiveness by a telephone call to Mr. Sproule at (212) 308-8505, or in his absence David E. Bamberger,

Securities
and Exchange Commission Comment Letters
Dated
December 11, 2020 and January 27, 2021
Dear
Ms. Majmudar:
We
are writing on behalf of the subject Registrant with regard to the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the subject Registration Statement
and the subject Comment Letters from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Response
to Comment #1:
The
Registrant has revised the disclosure on the prospectus cover page, in the plan of distribution and elsewhere in the prospectus
to clarify that the selling shareholders will sell shares within the bona fide price range of $0.04 to $0.05 per share, until
the Registrant’s shares are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, OTCQX or OTCQB,
at which time they may be sold at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The Registrant has also disclosed the
bona fide price range in the prospectus, as noted above, and has disclosed the basis for such price range, which is recent prices
of publicly reported sales of the shares.
February

Page Two of Three
Response
to Comment #2:
The
Registrant maintains its position that its shares are not a penny stock as it has not conducted any registered offering at any
time when it was a penny stock during the most recent 3 years, but the Registrant has deleted all incorporation by reference of
materials into the prospectus, and has inserted those materials, information, data and disclosures into the prospectus of the
subject Registration Statement on Form S-1.
Response
to Comment #3:
The
Registrant has revised the prospectus to disclose in the Description of Private Placement and in the description of the Series
E Convertible Preferred Stock the manner in which the Registrant will notify holders of the Series E Convertible Preferred Stock
about a “Triggering Event.”
Response
to Comment #4:
The
Registrant has revised the Registration Statement to include the legal opinion of the Flangas Law Group as to the validity of
the securities registered and its consent to the reference to it in the prospectus and to update the exhibit index to include
reference to such opinion and consent.
The
Registrant has also updated all information in the Registration Statement.
This
letter also confirms that the Registrant is aware of its obligations under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, in particular the obligation to properly disseminate the prospectus in advance of sales. No
underwriter is involved in the selling of the securities to be registered under the subject Registration Statement.
This
letter also informs the SEC that, as no underwriter is involved in the selling of the securities to be registered under the subject
Registration Statement, no amount of compensation is planned to be allowed or paid to any underwriter and no arrangements exist
between the Registrant or the selling shareholders and any underwriter or other broker dealer.

Based
upon the foregoing revisions to the subject Registration Statement, we respectfully request acceleration of the effectiveness
of the subject Registration and that it be declared effective as soon as practicable, but not later than Thursday, February 11,
2021.
Thank
you for your attention to this matter.

established trading market for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Item 501(b)(3) of
Regulation S-K. Accordingly, please revise your disclosure on the prospectus cover page,
in the plan of distribution and elsewhere in the prospectus as necessary to clarify that the
selling shareholders will sell shares at a fixed price or within a bona fide price range until
your shares are listed on a national securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board, OTCQX, or OTCQB at which time they may be sold at prevailing market prices or
privately negotiated prices. Please also disclose the fixed price or bona fide price range in
the prospectus. To the extent you determine to include a bona fide price range, please

2.We note your response to prior comment 2. While your response reflects that you are
currently not an issuer of penny stock, please note that General Instruction VII.D.1(c) of
Form S-1 provides that an issuer is not eligible to incorporate by reference if during the
past three years it was an issuer for an offering of penny stock as defined in Rule 3a51-1
of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, please revise your reference to incorporation by
reference and provide all required disclosure within the prospectus.

Securities
and Exchange Commission Comment Letter
Dated
December 11, 2020
Dear
Ms. Majmudar:
We
are writing on behalf of the subject Registrant for the purposes of respectfully request response by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) regarding two comments in the subject Comment Letter.
Response
to Comment #1:
We
have reviewed the referenced Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation S-K and find no reference or allusion to the type of market on which
the registrant’s securities are traded. We have also reviewed the Instructions to this Rule, particularly Instruction #2,
which seems to cover this Registrant’s situation exactly: “2. If it is impracticable to state the price to the public,
explain the method by which the price is to be determined.” Stating a price to the public is impracticable for this Registrant
because the subject offering is not for an IPO into a non-market, but rather into an existing trading market, on which the price
fluctuates, and at which sales cannot be made that vary materially from the fluctuating market price. The quoted sentence does
not state any requirement as to how the securities are traded, and it does not even allude to how they are traded. It is a simple
instruction, and the sole condition for providing pricing methodology is the impracticability of stating a fixed price,
which condition is, without doubt, met in the case of this Registrant.
January
20, 2021
United
States Securities and Exchange Commission
Page
2 of 4
The
referenced Instruction also states: “If the securities are to be offered at the market price, or if the offering price is
to be determined by a formula related to the market price, indicate the market and market price of the securities as of the latest
practicable date.” This requirement sets no condition at all for disclosing a pricing methodology; it merely states
the disclosure requirements for a prospectus that meets the impracticability condition and discloses pricing methodology rather
than a fixed price. The reference to the requirement to “indicate” the “market” is not a condition to
the instruction’s authorization to disclose pricing methodology rather than a fixed price. This reference is merely a requirement
to “indicate,” and its use of the simple and bare term “market” does not even hint at a qualification
of type of market.
We
found no SEC rule, regulation or release that imposes any additional condition on such Instruction #2’s authorization to
disclose pricing methodology rather than fixed price. Three years ago, however, when the SEC most recently amended Item 501(b)(3)
to allow disclosure of the method of pricing inside (rather than on the front cover of) the prospectus, the SEC made the following
statement in footnote 115, copied in full:
The
instruction also provides that if the securities are to be offered at the market price, or if the offering price is to be determined
by a formula relating to the market price, the registrant should indicate the market and market price of the securities as of
the latest practicable date. The Commission did not propose any change to this portion of the instruction.

IC-32858; File No. S7-08-17] RIN 3235-AM02 FAST Act Modernization and Simplification of Regulation S-K
This
footnote confirms the above described understanding of the clear and direct meaning of Instruction #2 of Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation
S-K. Moreover, this footnote, the most recent SEC interpretation on this point, does not even hint that the rule might be different
depending on what market the registrant’s securities are traded.
Moreover,
even the policy propounded in the Comment Letter does not appear to mitigate the expressed concern. The SEC would permit sales
at prevailing market prices under this Registration Statement if those sales were made on an OTCBB listing rather than an OTC
Pink Tier listing. The distinction strikes us as somewhat arbitrary. Although we do not claim special expertise in this area,
based on our discussions with market professionals who do have that expertise, no reason based on the actuality of trading volumes
exists for the SEC to “favor” OTCBB, as it were, over OTC Pink Tier. The trading volume on the OTC Pink Tier exceeds
the trading on the OTCBB by orders of magnitude. Indeed, many millions of the Registrant’s shares trade
daily as a result of OTC Pink Tier listing. Moreover, the mere requirement of a single market maker without competition on OTCBB
does not afford anywhere near the level of investor protection that the sheer volume of daily trading on the OTC Pink Tier does,
as least where, as here, the listed entity is in full compliance with its SEC reporting obligations and has been for several years.

Given
the applicable Rule and Instruction and the SEC’s own interpretation thereof, as described above, and the SEC’s repeated
public statements that its current policy is to support small companies in their securities capital raising efforts, as well as
the actual facts of the trading markets, we respectfully request that the Registrant be allowed, as expressly authorized by said
Instruction #2, to provide disclosure of pricing methodology rather than a fixed price.
If
such request will not be granted, then, for the same reasons explained above, we respectfully request that the Registrant be allowed
at least to disclose a price range in which the securities covered by the subject registration will be sold.
Response
to Comment #2:
We
have reviewed the referenced General Instruction VII.D.1(c) to Form S-1, which instruction prohibits incorporation by a “penny
stock” registrant, as such term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act (§240.3a51-1). Such Rule includes as
part of the definition, the following express exception for a Registrant’s being treated as a “penny stock:”
§
240.3a51-1 Definition of “penny stock”.
For
purposes of section 3(a)(51) of the Act, the term “penny stock” shall mean any equity security other than a security:
.
. .
(g)
Whose issuer has:
.
. .
(2)
Average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years.
(3)
For purposes of paragraph (g) of this section, net tangible assets or average revenues must be demonstrated by financial statements
dated less than fifteen months prior to the date of the transaction that the broker or dealer has reviewed and has a reasonable
basis for believing are accurate in relation to the date of the transaction, and:

(i)
If the issuer is other than a foreign private issuer, are the most recent financial statements for the issuer that have been
audited and reported on by an independent public accountant in accordance with the provisions of 17 CFR 210.2-02 . . ..
Based
on the Registrant’s most recent financial statements that have been audited and were opined on and filed less than 15 months
prior to the date hereof, the Registrant’s average annual revenue for its most recent three fiscal years for which audited
financial statements have been filed was $14,992,137. Please see calculation of same attached to this letter.
Based
on the above explanation, we respectfully request the SEC’s confirmation of the Registrant’s right to incorporate
by reference into the subject Registration Statement on Form S-1.
We
respectfully request your response to the above two points, after which the Registrant will file an amendment incorporating in
the filing Comments #3 and #4 and requesting the Registration Statement to be made effective.
Thank
you for your attention to this matter.

truly yours,

does, as least where, as here, the listed entity is in full compliance with its SEC reporting obligations and has been for
several years. Finally, while both OTCBB and OTC Pink Tier now rely on interdealer quotation systems (up until recently,
OTCBB orders could still be placed by telephone), the industry consensus is that “OTCBB is a shell of what it once was”
and “is all but obsolescent now.” Will Kenton, Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB), last updated Apr. 11, 2019

Given
the applicable Rule and Instruction and the SEC’s own interpretation thereof, as described above, and the SEC’s repeated
public statements that its current policy is to support small companies in their securities capital raising efforts, as well as
the actual facts of the trading markets, we respectfully request that the Registrant be allowed, as expressly authorized by said
Instruction #2, to provide disclosure of pricing methodology rather than a fixed price.
If
such request will not be granted, then, for the same reasons explained above, we respectfully request that the Registrant be allowed
at least to disclose a price range in which the securities covered by the subject registration will be sold.
Response
to Comment #2:
We
have reviewed the referenced General Instruction VII.D.1(c) to Form S-1, which instruction prohibits incorporation by a “penny
stock” registrant, as such term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act (§240.3a51-1). Such Rule includes as
part of the definition, the following express exception for a Registrant’s being treated as a “penny stock:”
§
240.3a51-1 Definition of “penny stock”.
For
purposes of section 3(a)(51) of the Act, the term “penny stock” shall mean any equity security other than a security:
.
. .
(g)
Whose issuer has:
.
. .
(2)
Average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years.
(3)
For purposes of paragraph (g) of this section, net tangible assets or average revenues must be demonstrated by financial statements
dated less than fifteen months prior to the date of the transaction that the broker or dealer has reviewed and has a reasonable
basis for believing are accurate in relation to the date of the transaction, and:

(i)
If the issuer is other than a foreign private issuer, are the most recent financial statements for the issuer that have been
audited and reported on by an independent public accountant in accordance with the provisions of 17 CFR 210.2-02 . . ..
Based
on the Registrant’s most recent financial statements that have been audited and were opined on and filed less than 15 months
prior to the date hereof, the Registrant’s average annual revenue for its most recent three fiscal years for which audited
financial statements have been filed was $14,992,137. Please see calculation of same attached to this letter.
Based
on the above explanation, we respectfully request the SEC’s confirmation of the Registrant’s right to incorporate
by reference into the subject Registration Statement on Form S-1.
We
respectfully request your response to the above two points, after which the Registrant will file an amendment incorporating in
the filing Comments #3 and #4 and requesting the Registration Statement to be made effective.
Thank
you for your attention to this matter.

truly yours,

Dear
Mr. Humphrey:
PetroTerra
Corp. (the “Company”) hereby transmits its response to the letter received by us from the staff (“Staff”)
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) dated March 5, 2014, regarding the Company’s Form
10-K for Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013 (the “Form 10-K”) submitted on July 17, 2013, and the Company’s
Form 10-Q for Quarter Ended December 31, 2013 (the “Form 10-Q”). For your convenience, we have repeated below
the Staff’s comments in bold and have followed each comment with the Company’s response.
Form

Item
9A(T) Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures, page 18
1.
Your conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosures controls and procedures does not state the entire definition of disclosure
controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Specifically, you did not indicate that disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the
Act is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Although
there is no requirement to disclose the full definition, specific reference to only a portion of the definition gives the appearance
of limiting management’s conclusion solely to the portion referred to. Please represent to us and please revise future filings
to state management’s conclusion in regard to the company’s disclosure controls and procedures as fully defined in
Exchange Act rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).
2. We
note that you have not specifically provided a conclusion as to the effectiveness of your internal controls over financial reporting
(“ICFR”). Please amend your Form 10-K to clearly and specifically state a conclusion on your evaluation of the effectiveness
of your ICFR.
3.
Given the omission mentioned in the comment above, please reassess and conclude on the effectiveness of your disclosure controls
and procedures.
We
respectfully advise the Staff that we will revise our Form 10-K in accordance with each of Comment 1, Comment 2 and Comment 3.
Accordingly, we will address each of the foregoing comments together.
During
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 and through the date on which the Form 10-K was filed, the current management of the Company
was not involved in determining the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting of the Company since our current sole officer and director was only appointed after a change in control of the Company
occurred pursuant to a share purchase agreement, dated as of October 2, 2013 (reported by the Company on a Current Report on Form
8-K filed with the SEC on October 4, 2013). After receiving the Staff’s comments, our current management reviewed the Form
10-K along with all other publicly available information in order to provide a reasonable assessment of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of the year ended March 31, 2013. Upon completion of
their assessment, management determined that the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting
of the Company were not effective. Accordingly, the Company will revise its Form 10-K to delete “Item 9A(T). Controls and
Procedures” in its entirety and add “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” as follows:
“ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our
management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s “disclosure
controls and procedures” and “internal control over financial period” (as each is defined in Rule 13a-15 of
the Exchange Act) for the year ended March 31, 2013.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and
forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on management’s evaluation, management concluded that the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our sole officer, the Company conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies
and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and
expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the our management and directors; and (c)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective
as of March 31, 2013.”
We
further acknowledge that in our future filings we will provide the entire definition of disclosure controls and procedures as
defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).

We note the title of the footnote states acquisition of oil and gas properties, while the narrative in the footnote describes
the transaction as an assignment of a lease, assignment of rights under a certain purchase agreement, and ownership of leases.
Accordingly, please clarify for us in further detail the nature, substance and terms of the transaction.
We
respectfully advise the Staff that we will revise our Form 10-Q to properly clarify the nature, substance and terms of the transaction.
Specifically, we will amend and restate “4. Acquisition of Oil and Gas Properties” in its entirety as follows:
“4.
ASSIGNMENT OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
On
November 18, 2013, the Company entered into an assignment of lease (the “Agreement”) whereby Ardmore Investments Inc.
(“Ardmore”) assigned to us its rights under a certain purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated
August 8, 2013, between Ardmore and Pioneer Oil and Gas (“Pioneer”) involving the sale of 5,905.54 acres of oil and
gas leases located in the Central Utah Thrust Belt in Beaver County and Sevier County, Utah, respectively, and currently owned
by Pioneer (the “Leases”).
Ardmore
assignment agreement
Per
the terms of the Agreement, we issued to Ardmore 500,000 shares of our common stock on November 18, 2013, and, in order to complete
the assignment contemplated by the Agreement, we will issue to Ardmore an additional 500,000 shares of our common stock upon the
transfer to us of ownership in the Leases which must occur on or before April 12, 2014.
Pioneer
Purchase Agreement
The
Purchase Agreement required a purchase price of $365,000 for conveyance by Pioneer of the Leases. The first and second installment
payments of an aggregate of $65,000 under the Purchase Agreement were completed by Ardmore to which the Company is not obligated
to reimburse Ardmore. The remaining $300,000 shall be made by $100,000 installments payments payable on or before December 12,
2013, February 12, 2014 and April 12, 2014, respectively.
On
December 12, 2013 and February 12, 2014, the Company completed two of its installment payments to Pioneer. Upon completion of
the final installment the leases will be conveyed to the Company.”
7.
We further note that your website states PetroTerra Corp currently owns a 100% working interest and 80% net revenue interest in
three leases. Please further clarify this statement for us. Additionally, please advise how this statement reconciles to the disclosure
in your filing.
We
respectfully advise the Staff that upon the closing of the purchase of the Leases, the Company will have a 100% working interest
in the leased properties and an 80% interest in the net revenue generated from the Leases. Accordingly, we have updated our website
to reflect that our working interest and revenue interest are contingent upon the closing of the Purchase Agreement.
8.
Please tell us how you determined the value assigned to the line item “Oil & Gas Exploration” on your balance
sheet. Please tell what guidance you relied upon and how you determined your valuation was appropriate. Additionally, please tell
us how you determined that these costs were recoverable.
We
respectfully advise the Staff that the value assigned to the properties consisted of the $100,000 installment payment made to
Pioneer on December 12, 2013 required by the Purchase Agreement and the value of the 500,000 shares issued to Ardmore required
under the assignment agreement valued at $250,000. Due to the lack of an active market of the Company’s common stock, the
fair value of the common stock transferred was determined based on the price at which the Company’s shares were being sold
in the private placement to Ardmore Investments. The costs incurred to lease the unproved property is capitalized when incurred
pursuant to ASC 932-360-25, “Extractive Activities - Oil and Gas”.
Furthermore,
as the Company had not completed the full assignment of the lease agreement, an evaluation of the unproved property was not contemplated
until the fiscal year end reporting pursuant to ASC 360-10-35, “Property, Plant and Equipment - Subsequent Measurement”.
9.
Please tell the nature of the installment payments being made to Pioneer Oil and Gas as it appears that your transaction is with
Ardmore Investments Inc.
We
respectfully advise the staff that the Agreement entered into with Ardmore Investments on November 18, 2013 assigned the Purchase
Agreement between Ardmore and Pioneer Oil and Gas.

On August 27, 2009,
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Bo ard ("PCAOB") revoked the registration of
Moore because of violations of PCAOB ru les and auditing standards in auditing the
financial statements, PCAOB rules and quality controls standards, and Section 10(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and noncooperation
with a Board investigation. You can find a copy of the order at http:
http://www.pcaobus.org/Enforcement/Disci plinary_Proceedings/2009/08-27_Moore.pdf
As Moore is no longer registered with the PCAOB, you may not include Moore’s
audit reports or consents in your filings with the Commission made on or after August 27,
2009. If Moore audited a year that you are re quired to include in your filings with the
Commission, then you should engage a firm that is registered with the PCAOB to re-
audit that year. In your disclosure under Item 11(i) of Form S-1/A, please disclose that the
PCAOB revoked the registration of Moore on August 27, 2009 because of violations of
PCAOB rules and auditing standards in audi ting financial statements, PCAOB rules and
quality controls standards, and Section 10(b) of the Securities Ex change Act of 1934 and
Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and noncooperati on with a Board investigation.
If you are unable to obtain an Exhibit 16 letter from Moore at the time you file
your registration statement, please also disclose this fact under Item 11(i) of Form S-1/A.
