AN OCCURRENCE OF AN UNCONTROLLED EVENT SUCH AS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS LIKELY TO NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS
Previous report
A resurgence of COVID -19 pandemic may adversely impact our operations and demand for our services and our ability to find new clients. This is due in part to potential restrictions such as: social distancing requirements; stay at home orders and the shutdown of non-essential businesses and the impact these restrictions have on small businesses and their ability to generate revenues which effects their ability to afford our services.

ADDITIONAL FINANCING MAY ADVERSLY EFFECT TO YOUR INTEREST
Previous report
We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. 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 executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company which will negatively affect our business operations. Based on our management’s reasonable estimates, we anticipate that our cost of being a public company, including legal, audit costs, printing, filing fees and other costs will be between $50,000 and $75,000 per year.
