Other Comments

We note your responses to prior comment 2 and 3. Please tell us whether you solicited any sales from “angel investors” within six months of the Rule 506 exempt offering that took place between July-October 2014 or at any point since the filing of the instant registration statement. If so, please provide a detailed analysis as to why your solicitation of angel investors should not integrated with either your exempt offering or the concurrent registration statement. In preparing such analysis, please refer to questions 139.25 of the Securities Act Sections Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations for further guidance.
RESPONSE: We respectfully submit to the staff that we engaged in three concurrent Rule 506 offerings between May 2014 and December 2014. Two were convertible debt offerings and one was an equity offering. Combined, these three Rule 506 offerings had less than thirty five (35) unaccredited investors. We sold securities to three (3) investors within the six months period of the concurrent Rule 506 offerings. These investors were solicited in reliance upon Section 4(2)(a) of the Securities Act as they are “accredited investors”. The investors were not identified or contacted through the marketing of a public offering because we had not engaged in the marketing of a public offering as this is a resale registration statement in which the shares being registered will only be marketed and sold once we are approved to trade on an exchange or marketplace. The investors did not independently contact us as a result of the registration statement that was filed.
The Company acknowledges that:
