Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 3. Leases, page 11

Comment 1. We note that in your disclosure of the significant components of operating lease expense on page 12, you disclose a combined amount for variable and short-term lease costs.

Please provide us with your basis for this presentation and tell us the consideration you

gave to ASC 842-20-50-4.

Response: The Company followed the disclosure requirements as described in ASC 842-20-50-4 but also took into consideration the guidance in ASC 842-20-50-2, which allows lessees to aggregate disclosures provided that useful information is not obscured by aggregating a large amount of insignificant detail or by aggregating items that have different characteristics. The Company elected to aggregate its variable and short-term lease costs since these items have similar characteristics and due to the immateriality of its short-term lease costs, which were less than 3% of its total net lease costs.
