SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to September 30, 2020 to the date these audited consolidated financial statements were issued, and with the rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world and the continuously evolving responses to the pandemic, we have witnessed the significant and growing negative impact of COVID-19 on the global economic and operating environment. We find that the impact of COVID-19 on the Company is unknown at this time and the financial consequences of this situation cause uncertainty as to the future and its effects on the economy and the Company. However, we are monitoring the rapidly evolving situation and its potential impacts on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce.
