reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item. Notwithstanding, in addition to risk factors highlighted
in previous reports, the Company adds the following additional risk factor:
We
could be substantially affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
In
December 2019, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of
other countries, including the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic.
In addition, as of the time of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, several states in the United States have declared states
of emergency, and several countries around the world, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict travel. While all of
our operations are located in the United States, we participate in a national supply chain, and the existence of a worldwide pandemic,
the fear associated with COVID-19, or any, pandemic, and the reactions of governments around the world in response to COVID-19, or any,
pandemic, to regulate the flow of labor and products and impede the travel of personnel, may impact our ability to conduct normal business
operations, which could adversely affect our results of operations and liquidity. Disruptions to our supply chain and business operations,
or to our suppliers’ or customers’ supply chains and business operations, could include disruptions from the closure of supplier
and manufacturer facilities, interruptions in the supply of raw materials and components, personnel absences, or restrictions on the
shipment of our or our suppliers’ or customers’ products, any of which could have adverse ripple effects on our manufacturing
output and delivery schedule. If we need to close any of our facilities or a critical number of our employees become too ill to work,
our production ability could be materially adversely affected in a rapid manner. Similarly, if our customers experience adverse business
consequences due to COVID-19, or any other, pandemic, demand for our products could also be materially adversely affected in a rapid
manner. Global health concerns, such as COVID-19, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries and localities
in which we or our suppliers and customers operate. Any of these uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
