Unit Offering, page 64

 

5. We note that your prior disclosure in this section and Section B of the subscription agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 indicate that you would be required to pay a penalty to the investors in your unit offering if you did not have a registration statement declared effective to register the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the units within six months of filing. As it appears that you have failed to meet that deadline, please revise your disclosure in this section to indicate whether you paid such penalties, how much was paid or how much you will be required to pay, and when or whether you renegotiated the terms to avoid such penalties.

 

Response:

 

The Registration Statement has been amended to disclose the penalties for not having a registration statement declared effective and to note that all by one of the investors in the unit offering waived their registration rights and that the one investor who did not waive their rights would be owed approximately $1,500. The Company has filed the form of the waiver as an exhibit to the Registration statement.

 

Should you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact our counsel David B. Manno, Esq., of Sichenzia Ross Ference LLP at (212) 981-6772.

 

 

Very truly yours,
