Item 1A. Risk Factors COVID-19 In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced. Since then, COVID-19 coronavirus has spread globally. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic and the U.S. Government imposed travel restrictions on travel between the United States, Europe, and certain other countries. The impact of this pandemic has been, and will likely continue to be, extensive in many aspects of society, which has resulted, and will likely continue to result, in significant disruptions to the global economy as well as businesses and capital markets around the world. Currently, the Company’s operations have not been materially affected by the ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, labor workforce, inability of customers to pay outstanding accounts receivable due and owing to the Company as they limit or shut down their businesses, customers seeking relief or extended payment plans relating to accounts receivable due and owing to the Company, unavailability of products and supplies used in operations, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company, including property and equipment. However, we currently do not expect a significant impact on our results of operations in the future due to COVID-19. Russia We currently do not expect a significant impact on our results of operations in the future due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as we have minimal business in Russia and Ukraine, both directly and indirectly. However, following the invasion, the U.S. and other countries imposed significant sanctions against the Russian government and many Russian companies and individuals. Although the Company does not have significant operations in Russia, the sanctions could impact the Company’s business in other countries and could have a negative impact on the Company’s future revenue and that of its customers, either of which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results. Israel We currently do not expect a significant impact on our results of operations in the future due to Israel-Hamas war, as we have minimal business in that region of the world, both directly and indirectly. Although the Company does not have significant operations in this region, this war could impact the Company’s business in other countries and could have a negative impact on the Company’s future revenue and that of its customers, either of which could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results. We believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023.
