1.We note you determined that a material weakness existed in your internal control over
financial reporting due to the lack of segregation of duties and you concluded that your
internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective as of December 31, 2020. We
also note you concluded that your disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of

conclude that disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Please be reasonably
detailed in your response, and explain why the material weakness you identified did not
