These statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which management believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements and have been prepared on a consistent basis using the accounting policies described in the summary of Accounting Policies included in our Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain financial information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although our Company believes that the accompanying disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Notes to Financial Statements included in the 2019 Annual Report on Form10-K should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim financial statements. The interim operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020 may not be necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic which continues to spread throughout the United States. On March 19, 2020 the Governor of Pennsylvania declared a health emergency and issued an order to close all nonessential businesses until further notice. The mandated closure of nonessential businesses in Pennsylvania remains in effect as of the current date and is expected to continue for the foreseeable future in the portion of the state in which we conduct our business operations. While certain businesses in Pennsylvania have been granted permission to resume operations, they may be subject to significant restrictions on their operations by both state and local government mandates. Our operations are deemed to be essential and thus we remain open. However, disruptions to our business operations due to COVID-19 with a resultant impact on our results of operations could continue to occur as a result of quarantines of employees and suppliers in areas affected by the outbreak, availability of raw materials required to manufacture our products, disruption of supply chains that provide our raw materials, price increases of raw materials and supplies used in our production processes, facility closures of domestic and international customers who purchase and use our products, and travel and logistics restrictions affecting our inbound and outbound shipments in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak. While we expect this global COVID-19 pandemic to continue to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flow and financial position, the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Our Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 220 in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. Since our Company has no items of other comprehensive income, comprehensive income is equal to net income.
