1. We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 14 where you removed the
references to consolidated financial statements. However, we note that you continue to
disclose that you have a subsidiary located in Japan. For example, on page F-15 you
disclose that "all of the Company’s revenue was generated by the Company and its
subsidiary, which are both located in Japan." Please explain or revise as necessary. Refer
to the definition of a subsidiary in ASC 810-10-20.

2. We note that for each period presented, you incurred net losses however, you disclose a
higher number of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding than basic
weighted average common shares outstanding. In this regard, it appears that you have
included antidilutive securities in your calculations of diluted weighted average shares
outstanding, and therefore diluted net loss per share is misstated. Please revise. Refer to
ASC 260-10-45-20.
Note 13 - Subsequent events , page F-25
3. We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 15; however, it appears
that you have not retrospectively adjusted your financial statements, including net loss per
share, for the effects of the recapitalization. Please revise. Also, tell us and revise to
disclose the number of ordinary shares surrendered as part of the recapitalization
transaction.
