Dear Sir or Madam:

 

This letter is in response to the comment letter dated October 28, 2019, regarding the above referenced S-1 Registration Statement. For ease of reference, the original text of the comments is included immediately preceding the response. Your attention to the amended copy of the Registration Statement is appreciated. Where appropriate, the page references of the First Amendment are referred to in the responses.

 

Cover Page

1.It appears that you qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act. Please revise your prospectus to:
Check the appropriate box on the registration statement cover page;
Describe how and when a company may lose emerging growth company status;
Briefly describe the various exemptions that are available to you, such as an exemption from Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
State your election under Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act;
If you have elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b), include a statement that the election is irrevocable; or
If you have elected to avail yourself of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1), provide a risk factor explaining that this election allows you to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. Also state that as a result of this election, your financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

RESPONSE: The requested changes have been made. We checked the emerging company box on the cover page, added a note on the cover page of the prospectus, added a description to Corporate Information on page 3, and added a risk factor on page 7. The information added includes our intention to be subject to the extended transition period, and the revised accounting standards, and notes that our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that are not subject to the exemptions.

2.You disclose that the selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares at prevailing market prices. Please revise here, and make corresponding changes elsewhere in the prospectus, to disclose a fixed price at which shares will be sold 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 in privately negotiated transactions. Refer to Item 501(b)(3) of Regulation S-K.
