NOTE 12: RISKS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company operates in a challenging and uncertain global economic environment. Recent and potential actions by the U.S. federal administration, including changes in trade policy, export controls, and tariffs on imports from various countries and regions, as well as retaliatory or responsive actions by other governments, may adversely affect the Company’s supply chain, costs, demand for its products, receipt of orders and results of operations. In addition, the Company faces ongoing risks related to geopolitical instability, including conflicts and tensions in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, which may further disrupt global economic conditions and financial markets.

Other factors contributing to economic uncertainty include inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, disruptions in global logistics, labor market challenges, and potential changes in fiscal, tax, or regulatory policies. These conditions may impact customer spending decisions, order rates, project timing, and the availability and cost of materials and components used in the Company’s products.

While management continuously evaluates these conditions and has taken, and may take, actions intended to mitigate the potential adverse effects on the Company’s business, there can be no assurance that such actions will be successful. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact of these risks and uncertainties on its future results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
