           Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
           Filed March 25, 2019
           File No. 333-226040

Dear Mr. Wheatley:

       We have limited our review of your amended registration statement to
those issues we
have addressed in our comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to
provide us with
information so we may better understand your disclosure.

       Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement
and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts
and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why
in your
response.

       After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the
information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless
we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our December 7,
2018 letter.

Amendment No. 5 to Registration Statement on Form S-1

General

1.     Please complete the blanks in your document consistent with response 1
in your letter to
       us dated September 21, 2018.
2.     Given your disclosure regarding the reverse split, it is unclear
whether, upon closing,
       investors will be receiving the 1,023,017 shares mentioned on your
prospectus cover or
       one-fiftieth of that amount. In this regard, it is unclear why your
disclosures regarding the
       offered securities and offering price do not reflect the split and how
the information in
       your Calculation of Registration Fee table is consistent with your
prospectus disclosure
       regarding the offering; please show us your calculations. Also, given
your disclosure
       about the proposed split and the status of your Nasdaq application
mentioned on page 13,

         please (1) provide us your analysis of whether your offering includes
contingencies and
         you will be complying with Rule 15c2-4 and (2) tell us when you intend
to file a
         registration statement to register the appropriate securities under
Section 12(b) of the
         Exchange Act.

3.       The last bullet point of this section appears to indicate that you
have entered into an
         agreement to sell a portion of the securities registered for sale by
this registration
         statement. Please provide us your analysis of how that transaction is
consistent with
         Section 5 of the Securities Act given that your registration statement
is not yet effective.

4.       We note that the dollar amount that you disclose as your "pipeline"
appears to have not
         been changed since your amendment filed in November 2018. Please
clarify how you
         define your pipeline and the extent to which it represents any binding
obligation to
         purchase.
If we issue additional shares..., page 31

5.       Please show us your calculations demonstrating how the number of
authorized shares that
         you have disclosed in this risk factor is consistent with the numbers
in exhibit 3.1 to your
         registration statement.

version of your
       exhibit 4.3 refers in section 23 to the laws of the State of California

       4.4 appear to refer to the laws of the State of New York. Please
clarify, and file a revised
       exhibit 5.1 as appropriate.
