  below, we respectfully submit that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering by or on behalf
  of the selling stockholders that may be registered for sale on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i) under the Securities
  Act. The Company acknowledges the large number of shares of common stock registered; however, the Company does not believe that the
  number of shares being registered alone warrants re-characterizing a valid secondary offering as a primary offering. Pursuant to C&amp;DI;
  612.09, the number of shares being offered is only one of several factors to be considered in evaluating whether, under all the circumstances,
  a purported secondary offering is instead an indirect primary offering.</FONT></TD></TR>

considering the number of shares outstanding, we call to your attention that there are a large number of shares of common stock which
are very likely to enter the public float in the near term. The convertible notes currently outstanding are convertible into approximately
520,456 shares. These notes are subject to redemption on four days&rsquo; notice pursuant to the Master Consent Agreement. So long as
the market price at the date of notice is above ____ (the conversion price) we expect that these conversions will take place. In
addition there are 1,049,295 warrants currently exercisable at $0.01 per share which are expected to be exercised in connection with
the prepayment of the convertible notes as the holders exit their positions in the Company. An additional 200,000 penny warrants are
held by the Series B Holder - 60,000 of which are exercisable currently and an additional 140,000 will become exercisable
following stockholder approval at the meeting to be held on November 15, 2025.</FONT></P>
