Note 14 – Risks and Uncertainties

The Company currently operates in a challenging economic environment as the global economy continues to confront the remaining 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 and Iran) 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 timelier as it delays the Company’s manufacturing processes.

The Company relies on suppliers to manufacture many of the components and subassemblies used in its products. Quality or performance failures of the Company’s products or changes in its manufacturers’ financial or business condition could disrupt the Company’s ability to supply quality products to its customers and thereby have a material and adverse effect on its business and operating results. Some of the components and technologies used in the Company’s products are purchased and licensed from a single source or a limited number of sources. The loss of any of these suppliers may cause the Company to incur additional transition costs, result in delays in the manufacturing and delivery of its products or cause it to carry excess or obsolete inventory and could cause it to redesign its products.

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 may have on its future results of operations and cash flows.
