The COVID-19 pandemic and the efforts to mitigate its impact may have an adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations, financial condition and price of our securities.
Added
As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as our executive officers.
Removed
The pandemic involving the novel strain of coronavirus and related respiratory disease (which we refer to as COVID-19) and the measures taken to combat it, have had an adverse effect on our business. Public health authorities and governments at local, national and international levels have announced various measures to respond to this pandemic.
Removed
Some measures that directly or indirectly impact our business include: · voluntary or mandatory quarantines; · restrictions on travel; and · limiting gatherings of people in public places. We have undertaken measures in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 including limiting company travel and in-person meetings.
Removed
We also have enacted our business continuity plans, including implementing procedures requiring employees working remotely where possible which may make maintaining our normal level of corporate operations, quality controls and internal controls difficult. Notwithstanding these efforts, our results of operations have been adversely impacted by COVID-19 and this may continue.
Removed
Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has previously caused some temporary delays in the delivery of our inventory, although recently we are no longer experiencing such delays. In addition, the travel restrictions imposed as a result of COVID-19 have impacted our ability to visit customer and potential customers for sales presentations, which have been substituted with on-line conference calls.
Removed
Further, the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigation efforts have also adversely affected our customers’ financial condition, resulting in reduced spending for the products we sell.
Removed
As events are rapidly changing, we do not know how long the COVID-19 pandemic, or localized outbreaks or recurrences of COVID-19, and the measures that have been introduced to respond to COVID-19 will disrupt our operations or the full extent of that disruption.
Removed
Further, once we are able to restart normal operations doing so may take time and will involve costs and uncertainty. We also cannot predict how long the effects of COVID-19 and the efforts to contain it will continue to impact our business after the pandemic is under control.
Removed
Governments could take additional restrictive measures to combat the pandemic that could further impact our business or the economy in the geographies in which we operate. It is also possible that the impact of the pandemic and response on our suppliers, customers and markets will persist for some time after governments ease their restrictions.
Removed
These measures have negatively impacted, and may continue to impact, our business and financial condition as the responses to control COVID-19 continue. 13 Table of Contents A prolonged economic downturn, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect our business. Uncertain global economic conditions, in particular in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect our business.
Removed
Negative global and national economic trends, such as decreased consumer and business spending, high unemployment levels and declining consumer and business confidence, pose challenges to our business and could result in declining revenues, profitability and cash flow. Although we continue to devote significant resources to support our brands, unfavorable economic conditions may negatively affect demand for our products.
Removed
Substantial increases in the prices for our raw materials increase our operating costs and could reduce our margins if we cannot recoup the increased costs through increased prices for our products. Our failure to meet the continuing listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market could result in a de-listing of our securities.
Removed
We expect complying with these rules and regulations will substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
Removed
In addition, if an acquired business or product line fails to meet our expectations, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Removed
The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity.
Removed
A pandemic, including COVID-19 or other public health epidemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, suppliers, manufacturers and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to the spread of the disease or shutdowns that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities.
Removed
While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 could have on our business, the continued spread of COVID-19 could disrupt our clinical trials, supply chain and the manufacture or shipment of our cyclodextrin products, and other related activities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Removed
COVID-19 has also had an adverse impact on global economic conditions which could impair our ability to raise capital when needed.
Removed
While we have not yet experienced any disruptions in our business or other negative consequences relating to COVID-19, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.
