Risk Factors

Risks Relating to Potential Conflicts of Interest, page 22

 

  1. Comment: Revise this section to include a risk factor, or revise the risk factor on page 17, to discuss in greater detail the conflicts of interest discussed on page 53.
     
    Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has added a risk factor on page 17 of Post-Qualification Amendment No. 4 to include the requested information.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest, page 53

 

  2. Comment: We note that there appears to be a current, actual conflict of interest associated with relying on an affiliate to complete art appraisals. Accordingly, please revise this heading to remove the word “potential.” In the following paragraph, revise to clarify that there is an actual conflict of interest, as the current disclosure states there “may” be conflicts.
     
    Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on page 53 of Post-Qualification Amendment No. 4.

 

If the Staff has any further comments regarding the offering statement on Form 1-A, or any subsequent amendments to the Company’s offering statement on Form 1-A, please feel free to contact the undersigned.
