A novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, that was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019 has surfaced in many countries around the world including the United States.

Certain state and local governments reacted by placing significant restrictions on businesses including a closure in Pennsylvania of non-essential businesses that was announced on March 20, 2020.

Additionally, certain of the Company’s licensees in the entertainment and toy products market who utilize printers in China to produce their products have been affected by the COVID-19 related cargo surge beginning in the third quarter of 2021 and continuing to the present time at major Chinese and United States ports as well as the world-wide container shortage resulting in significantly higher shipping costs, and have responded by deferring or scaling back production of their orders and, in some cases, rescheduling the shipping of completed orders. Such deferrals may affect the number and value of orders placed by the Company’s licensed printers in the entertainment and toy products market. Further, restrictions on our customers and licensees in areas affected by the COVID-19 could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Our Company’s operating results for the first half of 2022 are reflective of the effects of the ongoing cargo surge as well as lockdowns in certain Chinese cities, including the two month lockdown in Shanghai, during the first half of 2022 that affected businesses and production in those areas. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread with the Omicron variant, the latest variants, BA.4 and BA.5, as well as other recently identified variants and sub-variants, any future financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. We cannot predict the scope or magnitude of the negative effect that may result from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Our Company’s results of operations were negatively affected in earlier periods in part as a result of a significant increase in the cost of raw materials utilized by our Company in the manufacture of certain of its products as a result of price increases related to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the availability and supply of these raw materials. While prices of these raw materials have declined at the present time, there can be no assurances that raw material prices will remain at current levels or decrease to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels in future periods. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread both in its original form and in the recently identified variants of COVID-19 along with the potential re-imposition of COVID-19 restrictions that may be considered by federal, state and local governments, any future 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 (loss) 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 (loss). Since our Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).
