Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Warranties, page F-17 1. We note your disclosure that in 2016, as a result of the bankruptcy of a Chinese panel supplier from whom the Company purchased solar modules, the Company reclassified the liability related to unpaid retentions to warranty liability in the amount of $651,000 and that given that the Company has not received any claims against the liability since that time, the Company reversed the liability against cost of revenue during the third quarter of 2023. Please tell us how the Company considered the guidance in ASC 405-20-40-1b in determining that it should derecognize the liability. Specifically, your response should indicate any analysis the Company conducted to determine that it was legally released under such liability. David Hsu SolarMax Technology, Inc.
