2. Please revise your discussions of expenses (i.e. costs excluding
capitalized costs) and
provide more context and insight into the underlying reasons for changes
between
comparative periods. For example, we note there were material increases
in personnel
expenses for all periods presented, but you neither explained nor
quantified the reasons for
the changes, particularly when more than one factor could be attributed
to the changes.

3. We note you present capitalized costs as separate line-items in italics
below the
corresponding cost totals. As we discussed in our conference call on
November 1, 2021,
this presentation would be clearer, and the statement of profit and loss
would foot, if you
were to present the capitalized costs as a parenthetical next to the
corresponding cost
caption, or as a footnote, as applicable. For example, please consider
revising the
statement of profit and loss by presenting the capitalized costs for
personnel costs as
follows: Personnel costs (of which XXX and XXX are own work capitalized,
respectively).
Note 2. Basis of Accounting, page F-24
4. Please revise to expand your description of the "nature of expense"
method, clarifying that
your profit and loss statement presents certain costs on a (unnetted)
gross basis (i.e.,
before the deduction of any amounts capitalized), consistent with your
disclosures on
pages 17 and 63.
