Gini & O'Connell LLP ("Macias Gini") that it was being dismissed as the
Company's independent registered public accounting firm effective on June 24,

registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company's board of
directors (the "Board").
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the subsequent interim
period through June 24, 2022, there were no: (1) disagreements with Macias Gini

disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not
resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference in
connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2)
reportable events under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K
The Company provided Macias Gini with the disclosures under this Item 4.01 of
Form 8-K and requested Macias Gini to furnish the Company with a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees

disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related
