Response
The company has elected to “opt out” of the extended transition period, and as a result, it will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.
Thank you for your kind assistance regarding this matter. Should you have any questions, or need further information, please feel free to contact me at any time.
With best regards,
