The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in January. Fiscal 2021 consisted of 53 weeks of operations and fiscal year ending January 29, 2022 consists of 52 weeks of operations.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2021, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2021. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. This includes all normal and recurring adjustments and elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for any subsequent interim or annual period.

Segment Information. The Company operates in one reportable segment. Its services are provided by its operating segments on a decentralized basis. Each operating segment consists of a subsidiary (or in certain instances, the combination of two or more subsidiaries), the results of which are regularly reviewed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the chief operating decision maker. All of the Company’s operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment based on their similar economic characteristics, nature of services and production processes, type of customers, and service distribution methods.

The economy of the United States has been and continues to be severely impacted by a pandemic caused by a novel strain of coronavirus, including variants of the coronavirus, such as the Delta variant (“COVID-19”) and the nation’s response to it. Measures mandated by governmental agencies have included vaccination and masking requirements, travel and large gathering restrictions, social distancing requirements, quarantines, and shelter in place orders. Even as efforts to contain the pandemic have made progress and some restrictions have relaxed, new variants of COVID-19 have resulted in, and may continue to result in, additional outbreaks. As a result, certain business-related activities have been curtailed or modified. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our services have generally been considered essential in nature and have not been materially interrupted by governmental mandates. As the situation continues to evolve, we are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it impacts our customers, subcontractors, suppliers, vendors and employees, in addition to how the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our ability to provide services to our customers. We believe the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operational and financial performance will be determined by factors which are uncertain, unpredictable and outside of our control, including the duration and severity of the pandemic, any worsening of the pandemic, the vaccination rates in the areas we operate and among our employees and subcontractors, the nature and duration of the containment and mitigation actions taken by federal, state and local governments and protocols and contractual requirements implemented by our customers, and the resulting impact on the demand for our services from our customers. The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, and if disruptions do arise, they could materially adversely impact our business.
