A significant amount of the Echo Entities’ refining revenue comes from one customer, Hanwa. Hanwa’s refining facility is based in Japan and any adverse break in the relationship could reduce the flow of refining materials and revenue. While it remains a developing situation, the coronavirus pandemic and any continuing quarantines, interruptions in travel and business disruptions with respect to us or Hanwa could cause such an adverse break in the relationship and reduce refining revenue to us, possibly to a significant degree. Although we are continuing to monitor and assess the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, the ultimate impact is highly uncertain and subject to change. The duration of any such impact cannot be predicted.
