3.    Seasonality

The Company’s operations are both seasonal and event driven. Historically, revenues tend to be the highest during the second and fourth calendar quarters. The Company generally conducts more live, on site auctions during these quarters than during the first and third calendar quarters. Late December through mid-February and mid-July through August are traditionally less active periods. Online volumes are similarly affected as supply of used equipment is lower in the third quarter as it is actively being used and not available for sale.

The restrictions imposed and effects of the overall economic environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact these trends.
