Impact of Inflation We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the nine months endingSeptember 30, 2021 . We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition. Impact of COVID-19 InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the COVID-19 coronavirus. Its impact on global economies has been far-reaching and businesses around the world are being forced to cease or limit operations for long or indefinite periods of time. Measures taken to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an economic slowdown. Global stock markets have also experienced great volatility and significant declines. Governments and central banks have responded with monetary and fiscal interventions to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank responses, remains unclear at this time. It is not possible to reliably estimate the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, nor its impact on the financial position and results of the Company in future periods. The Company is proceeding with its business activities as long as the work environment remains safe - at this point there has been minimal disruption to day-to-day operations resulting from health and safety measures. Disruptions and volatility in the global capital markets may increase the Company's cost of capital and adversely impact access to capital.
