8. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Company Response to COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. Thereafter, most U.S. states imposed “shelter in place” or similar directives on their populations to stem the spread of COVID-19 and similar restrictive

measures were taken by governments across the world. Throughout the duration of such restrictions, the Company was considered a critical supplier of products to healthcare and critical infrastructure businesses and, accordingly, the Company continued our manufacturing and distribution operations as an “essential business” throughout the implementation of various restrictions on operations in our fiscal 2021 and beyond. Our top priority was ensuring the health and safety of our employees and, accordingly, we undertook measures such as limiting the number of people in any one of our facilities by requiring only employees who could not perform their work remotely to physically work in a Company US-based facility. The Company advised all other employees that could perform their job functions remotely to do so. As such, the Company’s operations have remained operational during the pandemic.

The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects continue to evolve. As such, the full magnitude that the pandemic, its effects, and the steps taken to prevent and/or mitigate its spread or otherwise address its impact, will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations is uncertain. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the duration and spread of the pandemic, the extent, speed and effectiveness of worldwide containment and vaccination effort, any subsequent wave or waves of outbreaks, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers and suppliers. Our ability to meet customer demands for products may be impaired or, similarly, our customers may experience adverse business consequences due to COVID-19 and its effects. Reduced demand for products or impaired ability to meet customer demand (including disruptions at our transportation service providers or vendors or otherwise in our supply chain) could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial performance. While we had some COVID-19 related component delays impacting new product development schedules, we did not experience a major interruption in our supply chain. Management continues to monitor the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. Given the ever-evolving nature of the pandemic and the continued global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not presently able to fully estimate the effects of COVID-19 on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity for fiscal year 2022.

Company Response to CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The CARES Act included provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified, improvement property. As of February 26, 2022, the Company deferred $0.5 million of employer-side social security tax payments. The Company has estimated and recorded the overall effects of the CARES Act and does not anticipate a material change.
