reflected in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 11, 2019, the Company&#8217;s potential exposure with respect to the Mann Entities&#8217; lending activity was approximately $15.8

2020, the Company concluded that due to the impact of the potential fraudulent activity, the Loan Balances were impaired and, as a result, recorded a provision for loan losses in the amount of $15.8

the Staff engaged in several discussions regarding the Staff&#8217;s position, based on technical accounting precepts, that the Loan Balances should be deemed impaired as of June 30, 2019, and the
