Intellicheck, Inc. 10-Q

Item 1A. Risk Factors Current economic conditions including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may cause a decline in business and consumer spending which could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Our operating results may be impacted by the overall health of the North American economy. Our business and financial performance, including collection of our accounts receivable and recoverability of assets, may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions, such as a reduction in the availability of credit, financial market volatility, recession, etc. In December 2019, it was first reported that there had been an outbreak of a novel strain of COVID-19, in China. Since then, COVID-19 has continued to spread outside of China, including throughout the United States and other parts of the world, becoming a global pandemic. For the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business and will likely continue to impact our business directly and/or indirectly for the foreseeable future. While we are hopeful that widespread vaccinations from COVID-19 will usher a new sense of normalcy, we are unable to accurately predict the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our results of operations or financial condition due to numerous factors that are not within our control, including the duration and severity of the outbreak together with any additional statewide closures resulting from increases in cases nationwide, whether from COVID-19 or variants to COVID-19, such as the Delta variant, which may be more contagious and may or may not be preventable by the currently available vaccines, including recently approved booster regimens. Governments in affected regions have implemented and may continue to implement safety precautions, including stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, business closures, cancellations of public gatherings, and other measures. Other organizations and individuals are taking additional steps to avoid or reduce infection, including limiting travel and having employees work remotely. These measures have disrupted normal business operations both in and outside of affected areas. While many of the original restrictions levied by governments have been removed, given the recent rise in cases, it is possible that local governments may reinstitute some or all of the previously implemented restrictive measures in order to curtail the increase in the number of reported cases. We continue to monitor our operations and government recommendations and have made appropriate modifications to our operations because of COVID-19, including transitioning to a remote work environment, substantial reductions in employee travel, virtualization or cancellation of customer and employee events, and remote sales, implementation, and support activities, among other modifications. These decisions may delay or reduce sales and harm productivity and collaboration. The cancellation of industry events nationwide reduces our ability to meet with existing and potential new customers. Our customers’ businesses could be disrupted or they could seek to limit technology spending, either of which could foreclose future business opportunities, could negatively impact the willingness of our customers to enter into or renew contracts with us, and ultimately adversely affect our revenues. Although we are unable to predict the precise impact of COVID-19 on our business, our business depends to a large extent on the willingness of customers to enter into or renew contracts with us. In addition, while the long-term economic impact and the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic may be difficult to assess or predict, the widespread pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, which could reduce our ability to access capital and could negatively affect our liquidity and the liquidity and stability of markets for our common stock. Our operations and financial results are subject to various other risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and trading price of our common stock. Please refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2020 filed March 29, 2021, for further information concerning other risks and uncertainties that could negatively impact us. 24 Item 2.
