Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2023
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, page 49
1. We note your presentation of the change in results from 2022 to 2023
combines results for
the predecessor and successor periods for the year ended December 31,
2023. Please
note it is not appropriate to combine the changes in results for
purposes of your
Management's Discussion and Analysis as the financial statements are
prepared on
different bases of accounting and are not comparable. Please revise your
tabular
presentation and discuss the separate historical results of your
predecessor and successor.
To the extent you include a supplemental comparative discussion of the
results for 2023
and 2022 prepared on a pro forma basis consistent with the requirements
set forth in
Article 11 of Regulation S-X, disclosure should be provided to explain
how the pro forma
presentation was derived, why you believe the presentation to be useful,
and any potential
risks associated with using such a presentation. We note a similar
presentation in your 10-

2. Your disclosure indicates that the simultaneous termination of the
Measurement Building
Lease and execution of the Roney Street Lease represents a single
transaction accounted
for as a modification of the Measurement Building Lease. Given that
you vacated a
building and moved to a new location, please tell us how you determined
this to be a
modification rather than a termination of the Measurement Building Lease
with a new
lease entered into as a separate contract for Roney Street. Please refer
to paragraphs 8 and
9 of ASC 842-10-25.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are
responsible for the
accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review,
comments, action or
absence of action by the staff.
Please contact Heather Clark at 202-551-3624 or Melissa Gilmore at

any questions.
