(the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. Reference should be made to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
