Dilution, page 22
5. | We note your response to prior comment 1. However, your disclosures and computation in the second paragraph for the historical net tangible book value (deficit) as of March 31, 2018 should be based on the total tangible assets less total liabilities equating to the deficit in book value of $(2,803,987) rather than $(4,395,873). We note your deficit amount excludes the historical convertible preferred stock balance. Please revise the related computations and disclosures therein to include the convertible preferred stock amount as part of total shareholders’ deficit.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
New Accounting Standards, page F-12
7. | We note your disclosure that you determined that the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard on January 1, 2018 had no material impact to your financial statements. However, we also note your revenue recognition policy and related disclosures are pursuant to ASC Topic 605, the former standard.

Please advise whether you adopted ASC 606 and revise your disclosures for consistency accordingly. |
