In this time of uncertainty because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are continuing to serve our customers while taking precautions to provide a safe work environment for our employees and customers. We have been staggering some shifts and otherwise adjusting work schedules to maximize our capacity while adhering to recommended precautions such as social distancing. We have established and implemented a work from home provision where possible.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold. The extent of the pandemic's effect on our operational and financial performance will depend in large part on future developments, which cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. Future developments include the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, the impact on governmental programs and budgets, the development of treatments or vaccines, the contagiousness and severity of Coronavirus variants, including Delta and Omicron, and the resumption of widespread economic activity. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the unprecedented and rapidly evolving situation, we are unable to predict with any confidence the likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future operations.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in
The core principle of revenue recognition under accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America (GAAP) is that the Company should recognizerevenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company's revenue on the majority of its customer contracts are recognized at a point in time, generally upon shipment of products. The application of GAAP related to the measurement and recognition of
14
revenue requires us to make judgments and estimates. Specifically, the determination of whether revenues related to our revenue contracts should be recognized over time or at a point in time, as these determinations impact the timing and amount of our reported revenues and net income. Other significant judgments include the estimation of the point in the manufacturing process at which we are entitled to receive payment, as well as the progress of the job order to completion to determine the amount of consideration earned for contractual revenue recognized over time.
The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer's credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due us could be adversely affected.
Inventory purchases and commitments are based upon future demand. If there is a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products or there is a higher risk of inventory obsolescence because of changing customer requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory allowances and our gross margin could be adversely affected.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. If we were to determine we would not be able to realize all or part of the deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be necessary which would reduce our net income for that period.
Depreciable and useful lives estimated for property and equipment are based on initial expectations of the period of time these assets will provide benefit. Changes in circumstances related to a change in our business or other factors could result in these assets becoming impaired, which could adversely affect the value of these assets.
