in your

After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the

scenario
as indicated in the paragraph preceding the table on the cover page and
page 8.
3. Please disclose on the cover page and in the summary section the tier of
the OTC
market on which SUAC Class A Common Stock, SUAC Warrants and SUAC Units
are quoted.
4. We note your response to comment 2 and note your disclosure on page 113
that as of
the date of this prospectus, no PIPE investment has been made. We also
note your
disclosure on page 3 that, "SUAC shall have cash and cash equivalents in
an
aggregate amount of not less than $6,000,000 including the cash
available to SUAC
from the Trust Account (after any redemptions by the SUAC stockholders
and the
payment of any Trust Account expenses) and the proceeds from the PIPE
Financing,
after deducting all Outstanding SUAC Expenses, all Outstanding SEE ID
Expenses,
and all Company Change of Control Payments..." Given that no PIPE
investment has
been made and these proceeds are not guaranteed, please revise this
statement to note
that the proceeds from the PIPE financing are not guaranteed as a PIPE
investment
has yet to be made.
Risk Factors
"Our dependence on a limited number of joint design manufacturers and suppliers
of
manufacturing services...", page 52
5. We note your response to comment 12 where you state that SEE ID has not
experienced component shortages to date. However, in your disclosure on
page 52 of
the Amended registration statement, you state, "We have in the past
experienced and
may in the future experience component shortages..." Please revise the
disclosure to
reconcile these inconsistencies.

6. We note your response to comment 14 where you state that at the time the
letter was
executed by SUAC and SEE ID there was no definitive agreement, plan,
arrangement,
commitment or understanding, conditional or otherwise, regarding any
merger or
business combination transaction between the parties and that the LOI
was superseded
by the Business Combination Agreement. We also note your disclosure on
page
113 that the LOI, among other things, contemplated a pre-money, fully
diluted
enterprise value ranging from $130 million and also provided for entry
into lock-up
agreements, a registration rights agreement, voting agreement and a new
equity
incentive plan. Please revise your disclosure to summarize the terms of
the
LOI including the initial valuation attributed to the transaction and
any analyses that
