20.  Risks and Uncertainties

The impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is fluid and continues to evolve, adversely affecting many of the Company’s customers.  The pandemic and its associated impacts on trade (including supply chains and export levels), travel, employee productivity, unemployment, and consumer spending has resulted in less economic activity, and significant volatility and disruption in the financial markets.  The ultimate extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations is currently uncertain and will depend on various developments and other factors, including, among others, the duration and scope of the pandemic, as well as governmental, regulatory, and private sector responses to the pandemic, including the distribution and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, and the associated impacts on the economy, financial markets and our customers, employees, and vendors.  While the full effects of the pandemic remain unknown, the Company is committed to supporting its customers, employees, and communities during this difficult time.
