We acknowledge that the introductory language regarding internal control over financial reporting was inadvertently excluded from the Company’s officers’ certifications filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to the Form 10-K and to each of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed on May 15, 2019 and August 14, 2019 (the “Form 10-Qs”). As requested, we have filed an abbreviated amendment to the Form 10-K and to each of the Form 10-Qs to correct the officers’ certifications. In accordance with the Staff’s comment letter, each amendment includes only the cover page, explanatory note, signature page and paragraphs 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the Section 302 certifications. Because no financial statements are included with the amendments, paragraph 3 of the Section 302 certifications has been omitted.
