NOTE
11
 – COVID-
19
:
 
The COVID-
19
pandemic continues to affect our operations and financial performance, and likely will continue to do so for an undetermined period of time. While during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2020,
the pandemic did
not
have a material impact on the Company’s business, international, federal, state and local efforts to contain the spread of COVID-
19
intensified in
March 2020
as governments enacted shelter in place orders, declared states of emergency, took steps to restrict travel, enacted temporary closures of non-essential businesses and took other restrictive measures that prohibit many employees from going to work. These government measures have begun to lead to changes in customer purchasing patterns and supply chains.
 
COVID-
19
could continue to have a number of increasingly adverse impacts on our business, including, but
not
limited to, additional disruption to the economy and our customers’ willingness and/or ability to spend, temporary or permanent closures of businesses that consume our products and services, additional work restrictions, and supply chains being interrupted, slowed, or rendered inoperable. Our employees and the employees and contractors of our suppliers and customers also could become ill, quarantined, or otherwise unable to work or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions.
 
The majority of the principal fabrics used in the manufacture of products within the Uniform and Related Products segment are sourced in China and the vast majority of raw materials used in our Promotional Products segment are predominantly sourced from China, either directly by BAMKO or its suppliers. If we are unable to continue to obtain affordable raw materials and finished products from China or if our suppliers are unable to source affordable raw materials from China, it could significantly disrupt our business. A prolonged pandemic, or the threat thereof, could significantly disrupt our product sourcing, which in turn, could significantly disrupt our business.
 
We have and will continue to monitor and control our expense levels to protect our profitability. For example, on
March 30, 2020,
we entered into debt deferment agreements with Truist Bank (formerly known as Branch Banking and Trust Company) to: (i) defer contractual principal and interest payments due between
April 1, 2020
and
June 1, 2020
under the
2017
Term Loan and
2018
Term Loan until their respective maturity dates; and (ii) defer contractual interest payments due between
April 1, 2020
and
June 1, 2020
under the revolving credit facility until its maturity date. Additionally, we are proactively taking steps to increase available cash on hand by targeted reductions in discretionary operating expenses. Finally, we are delaying certain capital expenditures relating to non-essential projects until economic conditions begin to stabilize.
 
Prolonged instability in the United States and global economies, and how the world reacts to them, could have long-term impacts on our business. These business impacts could negatively affect us in a number of ways, including, but
not
limited to, reduced demand for our products and services, reductions to our revenue and profitability, costs associated with complying with new or amended laws and regulations affecting our business, further declines in our stock price, reduced availability and less favorable terms of future borrowings, valuation of our pension assets and obligations, reduced credit-worthiness of our customers, and potential impairment of the carrying value of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets. The extent to which the COVID-
19
pandemic impacts our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on numerous evolving factors that we are unable to accurately predict at this time. The length and scope of the restrictions imposed by various governments and success of efforts to find a suitable vaccine, among other factors, will determine the ultimate severity of the COVID-
19
impact on our business. However, it is likely that prolonged periods of difficult market conditions would have material adverse impacts on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
