1. We note your response to our comment. Please note that simply making revisions to future periodic filings will not be sufficient. Please revise your periodic reports filed to date to include the required disclosures pursuant to Item 307 of Regulation S-K. As a part of your process, please consider whether failure to include the required disclosures previously impacts conclusions regarding the effectiveness of your disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the report. In particular, please consider the definition of disclosure controls and procedures provided in Rule 13a-15(e), which indicates that effective controls and procedures would ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. In light of these facts, if management concludes that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective. nonetheless, please tell us the factors you considered and highlight for us those factors that supported your conclusion.
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and respectfully advises that it has filed its revised periodic reports on January 23, 2024 to disclose that the Company’s internal controls and procedures were not effective given the failure to include the required disclosures pursuant to Item 307 of Regulation S-K.
