1.    Please refer to comment 2. We note that the guidance in ASC 250-10-20
defines a change
      in reporting entity as changing specific subsidiaries that make up the
group of entities for
      which consolidated financial statements are presented. Please provide us
additional
      information regarding how the transaction was structured and accounted
for from a legal
      entity standpoint and how you determined there were no new legal
entities. Specifically

2.       Please refer to comment 1. Based on the guidance in ASC 740-10-25-47,
the impact of
         the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act should be recognized in 2017. Based on your
response, it
         appears that you have recognized the impact in 2018. Please tell us if
you had an error in
         your December 31, 2017 financial statements considering the guidance
in ASC 250. If so,
         please revise your financial statements if the error was material.
Additionally, please
         revise your proposed disclosure accordingly.

3.       Please refer to comment 3. In your response you state that the
positive evidence regarding
         the ability to reverse your existing taxable temporary differences
outweighs the negative
         evidence. However, you also state that you determined based on your
assessment of both
         positive and negative evidence as well as objective and subjective
evidence that it is more
         likely than not that you will not realize a portion of your deferred
tax assets. We note that
         you continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on your deferred
tax assets as of
         December 31, 2017 and the subsequent quarterly periods ended March 31,
2018 and June
         30, 2018. Please reconcile your first statement that the positive
evidence outweighs the
         negative evidence with your subsequent statement that it is more
likely than not that you
         will not realize a portion of your deferred tax assets as of December
31, 2017.
4.       Please refer to comment 3. Please provide us the following
information:

             An analysis comparing actual tax or GAAP income versus forecasted
amounts for the
             fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 and for the
most recent periods
             in 2018. Please explain the reasons for any significant
differences.

             Projected tax or US GAAP income by year as of December 31, 2017
and June 30,
             2018 with a schedule detailing the amount of and the realization
of your deferred tax
             assets based on your projections.
5.       Please refer to comment 3. You state that it is more likely than not
that you will not
         realize a portion of your deferred tax assets based on your assessment
of both positive and
         negative evidence as well as objective and subjective evidence. Please
tell us the most
         persuasive negative evidence, how you considered the guidance in ASC
740-10-30-22(c),
         and how you considered the significant improved operating results
after your acquisition
         of StockCross in making your determination. Please also tell us how
you considered that
         a full valuation allowance was appropriate as compared to a partial
valuation allowance.
