**PART III -- NARRATIVE**

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The Registrant was unable to file its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2022 by the prescribed due date for the reasons described below.

During the course of preparing the Registrant's financial statements as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2022, based on inquiries from the Registrant's recently appointed independent registered public accounting firm, the Registrant's management identified that interest generated on margin loans had been reported incorrectly in the Registrant's consolidated statements of operations for prior periods. In particular, in the consolidated statements of operations in previously issued financial statements, interest income generated on margin loans was presented as part of fee and commission income whereas it should have been presented as part of interest income. The Registrant notes that such classification errors in the statements of operations did not affect the Registrant's net income or any per-share amounts and did not affect the balance sheet or the cash flow statement.

The Registrant is currently completing its financial statements as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and has been in the process of evaluating deficiencies identified in connection with its assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures under the 2013 framework of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as of December 31, 2022. As a result of the time required to evaluate the impact of these matters on the Registrant's financial statements as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and its previously filed financial statements, the Registrant was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Form 10-Q by the prescribed due date of February 9, 2023.
