Current Business
−Removed: March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic
−Removed: prompting government-imposed quarantines, suspension of in-person attendance of academic programs, and cessation of certain travel
−Removed: and business closures.
−Removed: The United States has entered a recession as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may prolong and exacerbate
−Removed: the negative impact on us.
−Removed: Although we expect the availability of vaccines and various treatments with respect to COVID-19 to
−Removed: have an overall positive impact on business conditions in the aggregate over time, the exact timing of these positive developments
−Removed: is uncertain.
−Removed: In December 2020, the United States began distributing two vaccines that, in addition to other vaccines under development,
−Removed: are expected to help to reduce the spread of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 once they are widely distributed.
−Removed: If the vaccines
−Removed: prove less effective than currently understood by the scientific community and the United States Food and Drug Administration,
−Removed: or if there are problems with the acceptance, availability, timing or other difficulties with widely distributing the vaccines,
−Removed: the pandemic may last longer, and could continue to impact our business for longer, than we currently expect.
−Removed: In response to COVID-19,
−Removed: governmental authorities have implemented numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions,
−Removed: prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain businesses, curfews, shelter in place orders and recommendations
−Removed: to practice social distancing.
−Removed: Although many governmental measures have had specific expiration dates, some of those measures
−Removed: have already been extended more than once, and there is considerable uncertainty regarding the duration of such measures and the
−Removed: implementation of any potential future measures, especially if cases increase across the United States, with the potential for
−Removed: additional challenges resulting from the emergence of new variants of COVID-19, some of which may be more transmissible than the
−Removed: initial strain.
−Removed: Such measures have impacted, and may continue to affect, our workforce, operations, suppliers and customers.
−Removed: reduced the size of our workforce following the onset of COVID-19 and may need to take additional actions to further reduce the
−Removed: size of our workforce in the future;
−Removed: such reductions incur costs, and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to rehire
−Removed: our workforce in the event our business experiences a subsequent recovery.
−Removed: We took steps to curtail our operating expenses and
−Removed: conserve cash.
−Removed: We may elect or need to take additional remedial measures in the future as the information available to us continues
−Removed: to develop, including with respect to our workforce, relationships with our third-party vendors, and our customers.
−Removed: certainty that the remedial measures we have implemented to date, or any additional remedial steps we may take in the future,
−Removed: will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by COVID-19.
−Removed: Further, such measures could potentially materially adversely affect
−Removed: our business, financial condition and results of operations and create additional risks for us.
−Removed: Any escalation of COVID-19 cases
−Removed: across many of the markets we serve could have a negative impact on us.
−Removed: Specifically, we could be adversely impacted by limitations
−Removed: on our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local, state, or federal orders requiring our
−Removed: stores to close or employees to remain at home;
−Removed: limitation of carriers to deliver our product to customers;
−Removed: product shortages;
−Removed: limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services;
−Removed: and limitations
−Removed: on the ability of our customers to pay us in a timely manner.
−Removed: These events could have a material, adverse effect on our results
−Removed: of operations, cash flows and liquidity.
−Removed: ultimate magnitude of COVID-19, including the full extent of the material negative impact on our financial and operational results,
−Removed: will depend on future developments, such as the duration and severity of the pandemic, the extent of any increases in cases across
−Removed: the United States, and the related length of its impact on the global economy, as well as the timing and availability of effective
−Removed: medical treatments and vaccines, which remain uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.
−Removed: The resumption of our normal business
−Removed: operations may be delayed or constrained by lingering effects of COVID-19 on our customers, suppliers and/or third-party service
−Removed: Furthermore, the extent to which our mitigation efforts are successful, if at all, is not currently ascertainable.
−Removed: Due to the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses to curb its spread, we cannot predict the full impact of
−Removed: the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and results of operations, but our business, financial condition, results of operations
−Removed: and cash flows have already been materially adversely impacted, and we anticipate they will continue to be adversely affected
−Removed: by the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative effects on global economic conditions.
−Removed: Any recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and related
−Removed: economic impact may also be slowed or reversed by a variety of factors, such as any increase in COVID-19 infections.
−Removed: the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of its national
−Removed: and, to some extent, global economic impact, including the current recession and any recession that may occur in the future.
−Removed: success of our business depends on our global operations, including our supply chain and consumer demand, among other things.
−Removed: As a result of COVID-19, we have experienced shortages in inventory due to manufacturing issues, a reduction in the volume of
−Removed: sales in some parts of our business, such as rental sales and direct website sales, and a reduction in personnel due to lockdown
−Removed: related issues.
−Removed: Our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflect this impact;
−Removed: however, we expect that this
−Removed: trend may continue and the full extent of the impact is unknown.
−Removed: In recent months, some governmental agencies in the US and Europe,
−Removed: where we produce the largest percentage of our sales, have lifted certain restrictions.
−Removed: However, if customer demand continues
−Removed: to be low, our future equipment sales, subscriber activations and sales margin will be impacted.
−Removed: We have implemented several measures
−Removed: to minimize the impact on our operations and sustain our liquidity position, including receiving support through the US payroll
−Removed: protection program loan (“PPP”), a low interest, fixed rate loan provided under the UK’s Coronavirus Business
−Removed: Interruption Loan (“CBILS”) and the deferral of certain UK taxes.
−Removed: We have also worked with our product suppliers to
−Removed: ensure we will continue to have sufficient inventory levels on hand to meet consumer demand.
−Removed: Company’s reliance on securing additional capital for its public company expenses may be impaired due to the effect on the
−Removed: financial markets.
−Removed: The inability to obtain appropriate financing, may affect its compliance requirements as a public company.
−Removed: The Company has been using its working capital from its operating subsidiaries, to support its public company expenses.
−Removed: The continued
−Removed: drain on its working capital have forced the Company to incur cutbacks, which may affect its future operating revenue as well
−Removed: as, its ability to continue operations.
−Removed: a result of COVID-19, we have experienced sho rtages in
−Removed: inventory due to manufacturing and logistical issues, a reduction in the volume of sales in some parts of our business, such as
−Removed: rental sales and direct website sales, and a reduction in personnel due to lockdown related issues.
−Removed: Our results of operations
−Removed: for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflect this impact;
−Removed: however, we expect that this trend may continue and the full extent
−Removed: of the impact is unknown.
