Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic has and will continue to impact the economy and has and will likely continue to adversely affect our business. As of the date of this filing, uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the pandemic. Some of our customers have temporarily closed or are operating at a diminished capacity which may negatively impact revenue. The pandemic may shift industry demand for installing and replacing existing casino management systems, impact sales and gross margins in the future, limit our ability to secure products we sell due to supplier and manufacturer shortages, limit the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic and local, state, or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home, limit the ability of carriers to deliver our products to customers, limit the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services, and limit the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis. To ensure that our business can continue to operate during this uncertain time, inFebruary 2021 we applied and were approved for a second Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan through theSmall Business Administration . This loan allowed us to continue to employ all existing employees to service our client base. InMarch 2021 , the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") released Notice 2021-20, which retroactively eliminated the restriction that prevented employers who received a PPP loan from qualifying for the Employee Retention Credit ("ERC"), which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. Upon determination that the employer has complied with all of the conditions required to receive the credit, a receivable is recorded and the credit reduces salaries and wages expense. We have determined that we qualified and have filed to claim the ERC. InOctober 2021 we have determined that we will receive a credit of approximately$206,000 . These amounts have subsequently been recorded as a receivable. With respect to liquidity, we are evaluating and taking actions to reduce costs and spending across our organization. This includes reducing hiring activities, adjusting pay programs, and limiting discretionary spending. While we are unable to predict the nature, scope or duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources, we will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders.
