Company acknowledges the Staff&#x2019;s comment. Following an
internal review of the Company&#x2019;s Form 10-Q for the quarter

September 30, 2020 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

forbearance agreements. Please also note that although the column
was not marked &#x201C;restated&#x201D; in the Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company did indicate the
amounts as restated in Note 13 to the Company&#x2019;s Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2020 (the &#x201C;Form
10-K&#x201D;).</font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">Following an
internal review of the Form 10-K the Company determined that in
Note 13 to the Form 10-K, the Company incorrectly referred to a
correction of the amounts for the three month period ended
September 30, 2020. No such correction was necessary and that
statement should not have been included in Note 13. Since the
Company has subsequently correctly filed the results for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2020 in its Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company respectfully submits
that no amendment to its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
30, 2021 is necessary.</font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">The
Company acknowledges the Staff&#x2019;s comment. Following an
internal review of the Company&#x2019;s Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended June 30, 2021 the Company determined that the incorrect
amounts in the Form 10-Q resulted from a processing error by the
Company&#x2019;s EDGAR vendor since the Company submitted applicable
corrections for inclusion in the Form 10-Q. Notwithstanding, the
Company intends to amend its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June
30, 2021 as follows:</font></div>
