Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3

Filed July 1, 2022

File No. 333-262727

 

Dear Ms. Wirth:

 

Cuentas Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) hereby transmits the Company’s response to the comment letter received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), on July 20, 2022, regarding Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Commission on July 1, 2022.

 

For the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below the Staff’s comments in bold, and have followed each comment with the Company’s response. Disclosure changes made in response to the Staff’s comments have been made in the Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement, which is being filed with the Commission contemporaneously with the submission of this letter.

 

Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed July 1, 2022

 

General

 

  1. Please revise to file the most recent interim financial statements for SDI Black. Refer to Rules 8-04 and 8-08 of Regulation S-X.

 

The Staff is advised that the Company has elected not to pursue the acquisition of SDI Black 011, LLC or Cuentas SDI, LLC. The Company did purchase a minority interest of 19.99% in Cuentas SDI, LLC, but the Company does not believe that this acquisition creates an obligation to include the financial statements of SDI Black 011, LLC or Cuentas SDI, LLC in the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Company has removed all financial statements of SDI Black 011, LLC and Cuentas SDI, LLC from the Registration Statement.

 

  2. We note your amended disclosure in response to comment 2 and note that you did not include pro forma financial information as required by Rule 8-05 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Please provide the appropriate pro forma financial information or provide a detailed analysis explaining why you are not required to do so.

 

The Company refers the Staff to the Company’s response in Comment 1.

 

  3.

Please revise the audit consents to address the following:

include an auditor’s consent for Cuentas SDI, LLC;

update the auditor’s consent for Cuentas, Inc. to also cover the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020; and

update the auditor’s consent for SDI Black 011 to refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 of Cuentas, Inc. rather than Cuentas SDI, LLC.

 

The Company refers the Staff to the Company’s response in Comment 1.
