COMPANY RESPONSE:
The Company will file an amendment number one to the Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2019, to restate the paragraph about the effectiveness of internal and disclosure controls and procedures in Item 9A (Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures) in its entirety.  The revision will read:
Management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2019, which is the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K Report. The evaluation was based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the “COSO Criteria”). Based on this evaluation, Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to Company’s management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our management also concluded that our internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2019, was effective at the reasonable assurance level.
The Company will file an amendment to the Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended March 31, 2020, to restate the paragraph in Item 4 (Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures) in its entirety.  The revision will read:
Management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2020, which is the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q Report.
