+Added: These activities in multiple countries around the world expose us to international political, economic, foreign currency, and other risks.

+Added: For example, certain of our suppliers are dependent on products sourced from Taiwan.
+Added: Greater restrictions and/or disruptions of our suppliers’ ability to operate facilities and/or do business in and with Taiwan may increase the cost of certain materials and/or limit the supply of products sourced from Taiwan.

+Added: In addition, many economists and other market experts have indicated an increased likelihood of global recession as a result of the potential disruption to international trade.

+Added: Additional changes to United States and foreign trade and tax policies, including heightened import restrictions, import and export licenses, new tariffs, trade embargoes, government sanctions, and trade barriers may occur in the future, which could prevent or make it difficult or more costly for us to import yachts from foreign suppliers under economically favorable terms and conditions.
+Added: Many of these challenges, particularly tariffs, are present in commerce with China, a market from which we purchase products.
+Added: While such tariffs may be delayed or cancelled in the near future, and we believe we have taken or are taking steps to mitigate their potential effects, such tariffs would likely increase our costs for our Chinese suppliers.
