For the convenience of the Staff, each of the Staff’s comments is included and is followed by the corresponding response of the Company.  Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this letter to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company on a consolidated basis.

1.We note your revised disclosure in response to comment 2. Your disclosure indicates that you plan to file an application for listing on either the NYSE or Nasdaq prior to the effective date of this registration statement. Please update your disclosure prior to requesting effectiveness to identify the exchange and confirm that your application has been filed. We note your disclosure about providing a full year of audited financial statements and successful completion of this offering as prerequisites for listing on the NYSE or Nasdaq. Additionally, clarify how you intend to satisfy the other initial listing standards of either exchange. For example, if the Company chooses the NYSE, tell us how the Company satisfies the requisite market value of publicly held shares, average monthly trading volume requirement, and earnings or global market capitalization tests.

 

Response: Concurrently with the filing of this response letter, the Company has filed an Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment”). In the Amendment, we have revised our disclosure regarding our application to either the NYSE or the Nasdaq to indicate that we will be filing our application only after we file audited financial statements for our new, changed fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, and that we expect to meet the various listing requirements as a result of completion of this offering.
