In connection with the items listed in Part VII. Investments and Trusts, please note that each of those items (except #4 and 5) are retirement accounts. As to Item

#1, I have been advised by a New York State Retirement Service representative that, since I severed service with New York State more that 7 years ago, my

pension contribution is no longer kept in an interest bearing account as I have not made any new contributions to the account since termination of service. As

a result, no interest is being generated. However, having turned 65 in 2019, I began taking pension retirement distributions in the form of a monthly payment.

As to Item #2, the New York City Deferred Compensation Account, which is similar to the Federal Thrift Savings Account (notably, this federal account need

not be reported), the statements I receive do not indicate income from any dividend, interest, or capital gain. Instead, the statements indicate an increase in value

resulting only from the change in market value of assets, and, thus, are not reportable. See the Financial Disclosure Report Filing Instructions for Judicial Officers

and Federal Employees, Commentary at pp. 32, 40. Revised February 2017. I have not yet begun taking any distributions from this account. As to Item #3:

The ETRADE IRA was under $1,000.00 in total value in 2019 and the interest was less than $1 for the end of calendar year 2019. As to Item #4: That is a cash

savings account that has a zero balance and lays dormant. It should be removed from the reporting requirement.

As to item #5, the TD Bank account is a cash checking account just recently opened.
