which indicates that you would present rental income and other real
                                                        estate income as
separate categories of revenue and present interest expense, mortgages
                                                        payable on real estate,
depreciation and amortization, and other real estate expenses as
                                                        separate categories of
costs and expenses applicable to revenues from real estate in your

                                                        appears that you have
instead presented these revenue and expense items as components
                                                        of Non-Interest (Loss)

proposed in your September 19, 2022 response letter. Please tell us what
                                                        consideration you gave
to presenting rental income and other real estate income as
                                                        separate categories of
revenue and presenting interest expense, mortgage payable on real
                                                        estate, depreciation
and amortization, and other real estate expenses as separate categories
                                                        of costs and expenses
applicable to revenues. Reference is made to Rules 5-03(b)(1) and
