The global outbreak of COVID-19 is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and markets, and has caused many states, including those states in which the Company operates, to continue to limit some business operations. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may affect the Company depends on factors beyond our knowledge or control. Therefore, the Company is currently unable to determine what impact the pandemic may ultimately have on its business plans and operations, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations, but will continue to monitor COVID-19 developments.
