Basis of Reporting for Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”, “CECO”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 20202021 and the results of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019.2020. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 20192020 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”)2020 as filed with the SEC.SEC on March 3, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”).

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2019 Form 10-K filed with the SEC.10-K.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, all balances within tables are in thousands, except per share amounts.

 

COVID-19

On January 30,A novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in late 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States.  In March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. On March 11, 2020, the WHO classified thecharacterized COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.pandemic. As of June 30, 2020,July 31, 2021, the virus continues to spread and has had a significant impact on worldwide economic activity and on macroeconomic conditions and the end markets of our business.  No vaccine is currently available.   The Company has instituted some and may take additional temporary precautionary measures to comply with government directives and guidelines and minimize business disruption. 

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).  The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property.  It is currently unclear if and how the Company will benefit from the CARES Act in the future, but we continue to examine the impacts the CARES Act may have on our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

The outbreak and a continued spread of COVID-19 has resulted in a substantial curtailment of business activities worldwide and has caused weakened economic conditions, both in the United States and abroad.  Although vaccines are available in various countries where we operate, it is possible the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have a negative impact on the Company's ongoing operations and the end markets in which it serves.  However, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this filing. Asfiling, and as such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations.  Management is actively monitoring the impact of the pandemic on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

Amortization expense of finite life intangible assets was $1.8$1.7 million and $2.2$1.8 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively and $3.5$3.4 million and $4.3$3.5 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. Amortization over the next five years for finite life intangibles is expected to be $3.8$3.3 million for the remainder of 2020, $6.3 million in 2021, $5.4$5.8 million in 2022, $4.6$5.0 million in 2023, and $3.9$4.3 million in 2024.2024, and $3.2 million in 2025.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019,2021, the Company reassessed the useful lives of certain tradenames and determined that $3.9$3.2 million of their tradenames would have useful lives of 10 years now versus indefinite.

The Company completes an annual (or more often if circumstances require) goodwill and indefinite life intangible asset impairment assessment on October 1.  As a part of its impairment assessment, the Company first qualitatively assesses whether current events or changes in circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit or indefinite life intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If there is a qualitative determination that the fair value is more likely than not greater than the carrying value, the Company does not need to quantitatively test for impairment. If this qualitative assessment indicates a more likely than not potential that the asset may be impaired, the estimated fair value is calculated. If the estimated fair value is less than carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded.

 

In 2019, we performed a quantitative assessmentAs of June 30, 2021, we reviewed our previous forecasts and concluded each of our reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets had excess fair value over their carrying value. We determined negative macroeconomic factors resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic constituted a triggering event as of March 31, 2020 andassumptions based on a qualitative assessment determined that our goodwillcurrent projections, which are subject to various risks and indefinite life intangible assets were not impaired.  Theuncertainties, including projected revenue, projected operational profit, terminal growth rates, and the cost of capital. The Company did not identify any triggering events during the three monththree-month period ended June 30, 20202021 that would require an interim impairment assessment of goodwill or intangible assets.

The Company’s assumptions about future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, are subject to uncertainty, and the Company will continue to monitor these conditions in future periods as new information becomes available, and will update its analyses accordingly.accordingly.

Options and restricted stock units included in the computation of diluted earnings per share are calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and 2019, 0.61.9 million and 0.40.6 million, respectively, and during each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 1.7 million and 2019, 0.5 million, respectively, of outstanding options and restricted stock units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their having an anti-dilutive effect.

 

Once a restricted stock unit vests, it is included in the computation of weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for share-based awards, measured at the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The Company recognized $0.2$0.9 million and $1.0$0.2 million of share-based compensation related expense during the three-month periods ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, and $0.8$1.6 million and $1.8$0.8 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively.

The Company granted approximately 503,000460,000 and 64,000503,000 restricted stock units during the three-month periods ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively, and approximately 503,000460,000 and 464,000503,000 restricted stock units during the six-month periods ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The weighted-average fair value of restricted stock units granted was estimated at $5.44$8.59 and $7.49$5.44 per unit during the six-months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The fair value of time-based2021 and 2019 performance-based2020 time-based restricted stock units was determined by using the value of stock in the open market on the date of grant. The fair value of the 2021 and 2020 performance-based restricted stock units was determined by using the Monte Carlo valuation model.

The fair value of the stock-based awards granted is recorded as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods of the awards.  

There were 02,000 and approximately 1,0000 options exercised during the six-months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The Company received approximately $7,000$13,000 from employeesa non-employee director exercising options during the six-months ended June 30, 2019.2021. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the six-months ended June 30, 20192021 was approximately $1,000.$3,000.

Pension and Employee Benefit Plans

We sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain union employees. The plan is funded in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

We also sponsor a postretirement health care plan for office employees retired before January 1, 1990. The plan allowed retirees who attained the age of 65 to elect the type of coverage desired.

We present the components of net periodic benefit cost (gain) within “Other income” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Retirement and health care plan expense is based on valuations performed by plan actuaries as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The components of the expense consisted of the following:

The unfunded liability of the plans of $8.7$9.6 million and $8.9$9.7 million as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, is included in “Other liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

 

11.

Income Taxes

 

We file income tax returns in various federal, state and local jurisdictions. Tax years from 20162017 forward remain open for examination by Federal authorities. Tax years from 20142015 forward remain open for all significant state and foreign authorities.

 

We account for uncertain tax positions pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the liability for uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $0.2 million and $0.3$0.1 million, respectively, which is included in “Other liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions and penalties, if any, in income tax expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

Certain of the Company’s undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not permanently reinvested. Since foreign earnings have already been subject to United States income tax in 2017 as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, we intend to repatriate foreign-held cash as needed.  We record deferred income tax attributable to foreign withholding taxes that would become payable should we decide to repatriate cash held in our foreign operations. As of June 30, 2020,2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we have recorded deferred income taxes of approximately $0.6$1.2 million and $0.7$0.9 million, respectively, on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. A significant portion of the previously undistributed earnings to which the deferred income taxes were attributable were repatriated in 2019.

 

Income tax expense was $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $0.8 million for the first six months of 2021 compared with income tax expense of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $1.3 million for the first six months of 2020 compared with income tax benefit of $4.2 million for the second quarter of 2019 and $3.3 million for the first six months of 2019.2020. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 20202021 was 14.8%34.3% compared with (303.7%)14.8% for the second quarter of 2019.2020. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 20202021 was 16.8%30.9% compared with (81.3%)16.8% for the first six months of 2019.2020. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 is lowerhigher than the United States federal statutory rate. Our effective tax rate is affected by certain other permanent differences, including state income taxes, non-deductible incentive stock-based compensation, the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income inclusion and Foreign-Derived Intangible Income deduction, tax credits, and differences in tax rates among the jurisdictions in which we operate. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were negative (i.e. income tax benefits), despite pre-tax income, due

12


primarily to a tax benefit of $4.4 million from a tax position related to the 2018 divesture of Jiangyin Zhongli Industrial Technology Co. Ltd.

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, foreign debt and accounts payable, which approximate fair value at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, due to their short-term nature or variable, market-driven interest rates.

The fair value of the debt issued under the Credit Facility was $79.5$68.6 million and $67.3$74.0 million at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $41.5$32.2 million and $35.6$36.0 million, respectively, of which $33.2$25.2 million and $27.0$28.0 million, respectively, was held outside of the United States, principally in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, China, and Canada.

Commitments and Contingencies – Legal Matters

Asbestos cases

Our subsidiary, Met-Pro Technologies LLC (“Met-Pro”), beginning in 2002, began to be named in asbestos-related lawsuits filed against a large number of industrial companies including, in particular, those in the pump and fluid handling industries. In management’s opinion, the complaints typically have been vague, general and speculative, alleging that Met-Pro, along with the numerous other defendants, sold unidentified asbestos-containing products and engaged in other related actions which caused injuries (including death) and loss to the plaintiffs. Counsel has advised that more recent cases typically allege more serious claims of mesothelioma. The Company’s insurers have hired attorneys who, together with the Company, are vigorously defending these cases. Many cases have been dismissed after the plaintiff fails to produce evidence of exposure to Met-Pro’s products. In those cases, where evidence has been produced, the Company’s experience has been that the exposure levels are low and the Company’s position has been that its products were not a cause of death, injury or loss. The Company has been dismissed from or settled a large number of these cases. Cumulative settlement payments from 2002 through June 30, 20202021 for cases involving asbestos-related claims were $3.1$3.5 million, of which, together with all legal fees other than corporate counsel expenses, $2.9$3.3 million has been paid by the Company’s insurers. The average cost per settled claim, excluding legal fees, was approximately $34,000.

Based upon the most recent information available to the Company regarding such claims, there were a total of 194216 cases pending against the Company as of June 30, 20202021 (with Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia having the largest number of cases), as compared with 209200 cases that were pending as of December 31, 2019.2020. During the six-months ended June 30, 2020, 382021, 55 new cases were filed against the Company, and the Company was dismissed from 4931 cases and settled 48 cases. Most of the pending cases have not advanced beyond the early stages of discovery, although a number of cases are on schedules leading to or scheduled for trial. The Company believes that its insurance coverage is adequate for the cases currently pending against the Company and for the foreseeable future, assuming a continuation of the current volume, nature of cases and settlement amounts. However, the Company has no control over the number and nature of cases that are filed against it, nor as to the financial health of its insurers or their position as to coverage. The Company also presently believes that none of the pending cases will have a material adverse impact upon the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

Other

The Company is also a party to routine contract and employment-related litigation matters, warranty claims and routine audits of state and local tax returns arising in the ordinary course of its business.

The final outcome and impact of open matters, and related claims and investigations that may be brought in the future, are subject to many variables, and cannot be predicted. In accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies”, and related guidance, we record accruals for estimated losses relating to claims and lawsuits when available information indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. The Company expenses legal costs as they are incurred.

We are not aware of any pending claims or assessments, other than as described above, which may have a material adverse impact on our liquidity, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

14.      Acquisitions and Joint Ventures

 

Environmental Integrated Solutions

On June 4, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Environmental Integrated Solutions (“EIS”) for $10.3 million in cash, which was financed with an additional draw onthrough our revolving credit facility. As additional consideration, the former owners are entitled to earn-out payments based upon a multiple of specified financial results through December 31, 2021. Based on projections at the acquisition date, the Company estimated the fair value of the earn-out to be $0.6 million;million. During 2020, the earn-outCompany increased the earnout liability isto $1.7 million at December 31, 2020 based on the estimated fair value at that date. During 2021, the Company increased the estimated earnout fair value an additional $0.5 million and made earnout payments of $0.8 million related to 2020 performance. The changes in fair value were a result of EIS performing above acquisition operational expectations. As of June 30, 2021 the earnout liability recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.Sheets is $1.4 million.

EIS engineers products that clean air through a variety of technologies including volatile organic compounds (“VOC”) abatement, odor control, and other air pollution control solutions, which complements our Industrial Solutions Segment businesses. The following table summarizes the approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of closing.

The approximate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the above acquisition are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the purchase price measurement period as we finalize the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such changes could result in material variances between the Company’s future financial results, including variances in the estimated purchase price, fair values recorded and expenses associated with these items.

Goodwill recognized represents value the Company expects to be created by combining the various operations of the acquired businesses with the Company’s operations, including the expansion into markets within existing business segments, access to new customers and potential cost savings and synergies. Goodwill related to this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company acquired customer lists and tradename intangible assets valued at $4.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These assets were determined to have useful lives of 10 years.

Acquisition and integration expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are related to acquisition activities, which include retention, legal, accounting, banking, and other expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, EIS accounted for $0.5$5.5 million and $8.1 million in revenue, respectively and $0.2$0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively of net income included in the Company’s results.

Mader

On July 31, 2020, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement (“JV Agreement”) with Mader Holdings L.P. (“Mader”) in which CECO contributed the net assets of its Effox-Flextor damper business and Mader contributed the net assets of their damper business. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, CECO holds 70% of the equity in the joint venture, and 50% voting interest. We determined CECO was the primary beneficiary of this variable interest entity and therefore the 30% noncontrolling equity interest is in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The results of the joint venture are included in our Engineered Systems segment. The fair value of Mader’s net assets contributed was $1.0 million. As of June 30, 2021 there were $6.6 million in current assets, $8.8 million in long-lived assets, and $6.8 million in total liabilities related to the Effox-Mader joint venture included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 Mader accounted for $4.7 million and $9.6 million in revenue, respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.2 million of net income, respectively, included in the Company’s results.

Business Segments

During the first quarter of 2021, management determined that a realignment of the Company’s segments was necessary to better reflect the solutions we provide, and the end markets we serve. As a result of this realignment, we combined the operating results of the prior Industrial Solutions segment and Fluid Handling Solutions segment into a single reportable segment named the Industrial Process Solutions segment. In addition, the Energy Solutions segment was renamed the Engineered Systems segment. The effective income tax ratesresults of the segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were negative (i.e. income tax benefits), despite pre-tax income, due primarilyprior year periods have been re-cast to a tax benefit of $4.4 million from a tax position relatedreflect this re-alignment.  See note 15 to the 2018 divesture of Jiangyin Zhongli Industrial Technology Co.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Facility (as defined below). Our principal uses of cash are operating costs, payment of principal and interest on our outstanding debt, working capital and other corporate requirements.

When we undertake large jobs, our working capital objective is to make these projects self-funding. We work to achieve this by obtaining initial down payments, progress billing contracts, utilizing extended payment terms from material suppliers when possible, and paying sub-contractors after payment from our customers, which is an industry practice. Our investment in net working capital is funded by cash flow from operations and by our revolving line of credit.

At June 30, 2020,2021, the Company had working capital of $74.0$75.3 million, compared with $64.3$74.1 million at December 31, 2019.2020. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.701.72 to 1.00 on June 30, 2020,2021, as compared with a ratio of 1.561.68 to 1.00 at December 31, 2019. The increase to the Company’s working capital is primarily attributable to increased cash and cash equivalents balance of $5.9 million and decrease of $6.3 million in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Such estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of trade receivables, inventories, goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, legal contingencies, guarantee obligations and assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, assumptions used in business combination accounting and related balances, and pension and post-retirement benefits, among others. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors. Management monitors the economic conditions and other factors and will adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.

24


Management believes there have been no changes during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020,2021, other than disclosed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements within Item 1 of this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to the items that the Company disclosed as its critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to certain market risks, primarily changes in interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange and interest rates. For the Company, these exposures are primarily related to changes in interest rates. We do not currently hold any derivatives or other financial instruments purely for trading or speculative purposes.

The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt was $79.5$68.6 million at June 30, 2020.2021. Market risk was estimated as the potential decrease (increase) in future earnings and cash flows resulting from a hypothetical 10% increase (decrease) in the Company’s estimated weighted average borrowing rate at June 30, 2020.2021. Most of the interest on the

25


Company’s debt is indexed to either the LIBOR or EURIBOR market rates. The estimated impact of a hypothetical 10% change in the estimated weighted average borrowing rate at June 30, 20202021 is $0.2 million on an annual basis.

The Company has wholly-owned subsidiaries in several countries, including in the Netherlands, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, Mexico, United Kingdom, Singapore, Shanghai, Pune India, Dubai and Chile. In the past, we have not hedged our foreign currency exposure, and fluctuations in exchange rates have not materially affected our operating results. Future changes in exchange rates may positively or negatively impact our revenues, operating expenses and earnings.  Since most of our foreign sales are denominated in the local currency, we do not anticipate that exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations will be material in 2020.2021.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.2021.  Management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for each of the periods presented in this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the first six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or

26


fraud may occur and not be detected. The Company conducts periodic evaluations of its internal controls to enhance, where necessary, its procedures and controls.

ITEM  1A.

RISK FACTORS

 

The following disclosure supplements and modifiesThere have been no material changes in the discussion of certain risks and uncertainties previouslyCompany’s risk factors that we disclosed in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020. These risks and uncertainties, along with those previously disclosed, could materially adversely affect our business or financial results. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we deem immaterial may also impact our business or financial results.

We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic. The continued spread of COVID-19 has reached geographic areas in which we have operations, suppliers, customers and employees. We expect the continued spread of COVID-19 to continue to have a significant impact on our business, affect the demand for our products and disrupt our supply chain and the manufacturing and distribution of our products. It is unknown how long these disruptions could continue and such events may affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The continuing spread of COVID-19 has caused volatility, severe market dislocations and liquidity constraints in many markets.  Several countries, including the United States, have taken steps to restrict travel, temporarily close businesses and issue quarantine orders, and it remains unclear how long such measures will remain in place or whether efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 will continue to intensify. The foregoing could lead to a significant economic downturn or recession, increased market volatility, a greater number of market closures, higher default rates and adverse effects on the values and liquidity of securities or other assets.  Such impacts may adversely affect the Company and your investment in the Company.  

In addition to the risks described above, COVID-19 and associated economic and other impacts may also have the effect of heightening the other risks described in the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The ultimate effect that COVID-19 may have on our operating and financial results is not presently known to us or may present unanticipated risks that cannot be determined at this time.
