8.  Subsequent Events - In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency.  The rapid spread of the virus and the evolving response domestically and internationally to combat it have had an increasingly negative impact on the global economy, including the automotive industry upon which we rely for sales.  Beginning in March, most states issued executive orders which temporarily closed businesses deemed non-essential in an effort to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.  Similar measures also took place in certain foreign markets we serve.  As a result, our operations and the operations of our customers and suppliers have been adversely affected.  Since some of our customers are classified as essential businesses and have been able to continue to operate, we have been able to continue our operations, but at a significantly reduced level, in order to service those customers during these shut-down orders.  We have taken measures to reduce expenses and conserve capital, given the rapidly changing business environment and heightened degree of uncertainty resulting from COVID-19 and its related effects.  As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, or its broader impact on the global economy, including the demand for automobiles, it is unknown how long the COVID-19 restrictions will remain in place or what the impact of COVID-19 and its related effects will be on our business, results of operations or financial condition, but the impact could be material and last for an extended period of time.
