  Re: Worksport, Ltd.
    Amendment No 1. to
    Offering Statement on Form 1-A
    Filed September 10, 2020
    File No. 24-11271

 

Dear Sir or Madam:

 

Worksport, Ltd. (the “Company”) is filing amendment number 2 (the “Amendment”) to the Offering Statement on Form 1-A/A (the “Offering Statement”) in response to your recent review letter addressed to Steven Rossi, President of the Company, dated September 22, 2020 (the “SEC Letter”). This response letter, along with the amended Offering Statement, addresses the concerns you have expressed. The following numbered responses correspond to the comment numbers in the SEC Letter.

 

Amendment No. 1 to Offering Statement on Form 1-A filed September 10, 2020

 

Cover Page of Offering Circular, page 1

 

1. Disclosure that the offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) September 10, 2021, subject to an extension of up to 180 days or (ii) the date on which the maximum offering is sold is inconsistent with other disclosure here and under “The Offering” on page 6 and “Plan of Distribution” on page 48 that the offering will begin within two calendar days after the qualification date and terminate two years from the initial qualification date and also is inconsistent with the disclosure under “Plan of Distribution” on page 48 that the offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) September 10, 2021, subject to an extension of up to 180 days, (ii) the date on which the maximum offering is sold, or (iii) when the board of directors elects. Please reconcile the disclosures. Additionally, if the offering is to last more than one year, ensure that the disclosure in Item 4 of Part I of the Form 1-A so reflects. See Rule 251(d)(3)(i)(F) of Regulation A.

 

 

 

 

We have amended the Offering Statement throughout so that it consistently states that the offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) one year from the qualification date and (ii) the date on which the maximum offering is sold.

 

Manufacturing in China, page 13

 

2. Revised disclosure that you are not reliant solely on Chinese manufacturers because you have your own molds and patents appears inconsistent with disclosure on page 14 that you do not own your own tools and molds and instead have ownership and control over the schematics and blueprints. Additionally, we note other disclosure on page 13 that your products are manufactured in China according to your specifications and design, using your schematics and blueprints. Please reconcile the disclosures, and clearly describe your arrangements with third party manufacturers in China.

 

We have revised the disclosure throughout the Offering Statement to clarify our reliance on China and our molds and patents, and as they relate to each other.

3. Quantify the effects of COVID-19 in the first and second quarters of 2020 on your results of operations.

The Offering, page 22

 

4. We note that you have increased the number of securities to be offered. It appears that you have not updated the new totals in certain places throughout the filing. For example, you disclose under “Maximum Offering” that total gross proceeds for the sale of 40 million units at $0.10 per unit is up to $9 million and under “Use of Proceeds” that net proceeds are $9 million. Please revise each section of your offering statement to reflect the current amount of securities to be offered.

 

 

 

 

We have updated the amount of the offering throughout the Amendment.

Net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020  $(1,284,109)

6. As requested in prior comment 22, provide prominent disclosure of your financial difficulties and your plans to overcome those difficulties, including a discussion of your ability or inability to produce sufficient cash to support operations during the next 12 months. Additionally, elaborate on your plan of operations for the next 12 months, including steps or milestones for achieving each individual component, the known or estimated costs of each individual component, and the material risks associated with each individual component.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting, page 42

 

9. Please revise to describe any change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter instead of the last fiscal year that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect your internal control over financial reporting. Your discussion should include but not be limited to the errors identified during the quarter that resulted in revision of prior period financial statements. Alternatively, remove the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting sections from your filing as they are not required in the Form 1-A.

 

We have removed the disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting sections, as they are not applicable.

 

Please direct your correspondence regarding this matter to the undersigned.

 

  Very truly yours,
