Note
3.
COVID-
19
Coronavirus Pandemic
 
In
December 2019,
a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-
19,
emerged in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. While initially concentrated in China, the outbreak spread to other countries and infections have been reported globally including in the United States. On
March 11, 2020,
the World Health Organization declared the COVID-
19
viral disease a pandemic. As a result, the federal and state governmental bodies have taken unprecedented measures to try and control the spread of the virus including the issuance of temporary stay at home orders, the temporary closing of non-essential businesses and in-house dining and restrictions on gatherings and events. The duration of the outbreak still remains unclear.
 
During both the
three
months ended
March 31, 2021
and
2020,
the various governmental orders issued to control the spread of COVID-
19
adversely impacted our operations and related financial results. Our restaurant operations have government mandated occupancy restrictions for in-house dining.  Food and beverages sales related to banquets and conferences were significantly lower as a result of restrictions placed on gatherings and events. In addition, in
March 2020,
the Company began experiencing a high level of room and event cancellations with some subsequent re-bookings for a future date.
 
We
may
continue to experience weakened demand in light of continued travel restrictions or warnings, consumer fears and reduced consumer discretionary spending and general economic uncertainty. In light of the foregoing, we are unable to determine when our operations will return to pre-pandemic demand or pricing. The Company engaged in efforts to reduce expenses, including reducing employee costs, through hiring freezes, headcount reductions and furloughs of employees. The Company subsequently rehired employees and utilized the proceeds obtained from the Paycheck Protection Program Loans as the government restrictions on certain business operations were reduced or lifted. Governmental bodies
may
continue to impose additional restrictions, which could include additional shutdowns, to stop the spread of infection. These additional restrictions would have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
