A right of use asset and a lease liability of $11,149,101 was booked to the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition for the leases. Management has conducted an assessment and concluded that it is appropriate to proceed with a full write-off of the asset and associated liability in question. This decision is based on the alignment of the liability with the full impairment of the relevant ROU asset.
