Basis of Presentation	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on the same basis as the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). AutoWeb has made its disclosures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of Company management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation with respect to interim financial statements, have been included. The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and cash flows for the period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows expected for the year or any other period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in the 2019 Form 10-K. References to amounts in the consolidated financial statement sections are in thousands, except share and per share data, unless otherwise specified. As of December 31, 2019, restricted cash primarily consisted of pledged cash pursuant to the PNC Credit Agreement (discussed in Note 11). As of March 31, 2020, the restricted cash primarily relates to cash pledged to secure credit card liabilities. In early 2020 and continuing as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to quarantines and stay-at-home/work-from-home orders in a number of countries, states, cities and regions and the closure or limited access to public and private offices and facilities, worldwide, causing widespread disruptions to travel, economic activity and financial markets. The pandemic has led the Company’s Manufacturer and Dealer customers to experience disruptions in the (i) supply of vehicle and parts inventories, (ii) ability and willingness of consumers to visit automotive dealerships to purchase or lease vehicles and (iii) overall health and availability of their labor force. Manufacturers have also shutdown assembly plants. Volatility in the financial markets, concerns about exposure to the novel coronavirus and governmental quarantines, stay-at-home/work-from-home orders, business closures, and employment furloughs and layoffs have also impacted consumer confidence and willingness to visit dealerships and to purchase or lease vehicles. High unemployment and lower consumer confidence may continue after the stay-at-home/work-from-home orders have ended. These disruptions have impacted the willingness or desire of the Company’s customers to acquire vehicle Leads or other digital marketing services from the Company. Vehicle sales have declined, and the Company is experiencing direct disruptions in its operations due to the overall health of, and concerns for, our labor force and as a result of governmental “social distancing” programs, quarantines, travel restrictions and stay-at-home/work-from-home orders, leading to office closures, operating from employee homes and restrictions on our employees traveling to our various offices. The Company is experiencing cancellations or suspensions of purchases of Leads and other digital marketing services by our customers, which have materially and adversely affected our business, results of operations, financial condition, earnings per share, cash flow or the trading price of our common stock.
