NOTE 12: RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

The Company currently operates in a challenging economic environment as the global economy continues to confront the impacts from the pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, inflationary pressures and adverse supply chain disruptions. The specific impacts on the Company have included:

 

Significant geopolitical developments across Europe and Asia (including the war in Ukraine) have and may continue to restrict the Company’s ability to procure raw materials and components such as nickel and integrated circuits, as well as impact the Company’s ability to sell its products into China, Russia and other Eastern European and Asian regions.

 

Supply chain disruptions have led to much longer lead times to acquire raw materials for production and has led to inflationary pressures in both materials and labor. These supply chain disruptions have impacted the Company’s ability to recognize revenue more timely as it delays the Company’s manufacturing processes.

 

While management has initiated actions to mitigate the potential negative impacts to its revenue and profitability, the Company is unable to predict the impact that the above uncertainties will have on its future results of operations and cash flows.
