financing activities in the Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31,

deferred offering costs as cash provided by financing activities in the Statements of Cash
Flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2023. It appears the reversal of the deferred
charge is a non-cash activity. Refer to the guidance in ASC 230-10-50-3.
