1. We note your disclosure throughout your document about operations and products that appear to be prospective in nature. For purposes of illustration only, we note disclosure at page 5 that you intend to commence operations in Jamaica, at page 7 that you intend to begin various marketing activities, and at page 20 that you intend to expand the scope of your operations significantly. Please ensure that you have clearly delineated throughout your document the businesses and products that you presently pursue versus those that you plan to pursue in the future, and the extent to which you currently generate revenue from specific products and services. In this regard, we note that your disclosure may be confusing to investors who wish to focus primarily on your present state of operations, rather than your future aspirations.

 

Response:

 

We have amended the disclosure to the business section on pages 5, 7, 8, and 20 and have added a subsection to Post-effective Amendment No. 1 on page 5, entitled “Present and Future State of Operations.”

 

2. Please expand the disclosure in the appropriate section to describe clearly each material step you must accomplish in order to generate revenue from the products and in the markets mentioned on page 6.
