ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our operating results are
subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on the outstanding borrowings. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors,
including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. The proceeds
we received from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement entered into in January 2024 bears interest at a variable rate which exposes
us to market risks relating to changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2024, we had $65.4 million of variable rate debt outstanding
under our new loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Based on this debt level, an increase of 100 basis points in the
effective interest rate on the outstanding debt amount would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.7 million
over the next 12 months.
We do not use derivative
financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes, but this does not preclude our adoption of specific hedging strategies in
the future.
